Subject: perfctr-2.3 released

perfctr-2.3 is now available at the usual place:
http://www.csd.uu.se/~mikpe/linux/perfctr/

The main change is that you can now set up and use multiple
interrupt-mode perfctrs. This complicates the driver slightly
because by the time the interrupt handler gets to run, more
than one counter may have overflowed. This is now handled,
but required a minor change in the signal delivery interface.

Version 2.3, 2001-10-24
- Added support for multiple interrupt-mode virtual perfctrs
  with automatic restart. Updated the signal delivery interface
  to pass a bitmask describing which counters overflowed; the
  siginfo si_code is now fixed as SI_PMC_OVF (fault-class).
- Added EXPORT_NO_SYMBOLS to init.c, for compatibility with
  announced changes in modutils 2.5.
- Patch set updated for recent kernels.
