To: perfctr-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: perfctr-2.5.5 released Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Version 2.5.5 of perfctr, the Linux/x86 performance monitoring counters driver, is now available at the usual place: http://www.csd.uu.se/~mikpe/linux/perfctr/ x86-64 users please note that the 2.5.71 kernel won't compile on x86-64 due to incomplete 'driver model' changes. A patch to fix this and two other x86-64 bugs is in the patch-x86_64-2.5.71 file in perfctr's download directory. Version 2.5.5, 2003-06-15 - Updates for driver model changes in kernel 2.5.71. - Minor updates to the library's event descriptions for Pentium 4. - Now supports SuSE's 2.4.19.SuSE-206 kernel for SLES 8 users. Autodetection of SuSE kernel versions is not yet implemented: pass "--patch=2.4.19.SuSE-206" to perfctr's update-kernel script to ensure that the correct patch is applied. - Patch kit updates for 2.4.21 final and 2.4.20-18 RH kernels. / Mikael Pettersson
