Subject: perfctr-2.7.19 released

Version 2.7.19 of perfctr, the Linux performance monitoring
counters kernel extension, is now available at the usual
place: http://www.csd.uu.se/~mikpe/linux/perfctr/2.7/

At the request of David Gibson I've made this maintentance
release to keep things going (especially for the ppc64 folks)
until perfmon achieves world domination.

This release only supports the 2.6.14 and 2.6.14-mm1 kernels.
System call numbers have changed yet again.

Version 2.7.19, 2005-11-08
- The self and signal examples have been updated for Power5/PPC970.
- The ppc64 driver has been updated to compile correctly in
  recent 2.6 kernels.
- The x86 kernel driver has been updated to work correctly
  on dual-core P4 processors. Previous versions would fail
  during CPU detection (on HT DC P4s) or would erroneously
  restrict access for one of the cores (non-HT DC P4s).
- The ppc32 driver will now compile in kernels that lack Open
  Firmware support, which is needed for some embedded systems.
