Subject: perfctr-2.6.29 released

Version 2.6.29 of perfctr, the Linux performance monitoring
counters kernel extension, is now available at the usual
place: http://user.it.uu.se/~mikpe/linux/perfctr/2.6/

Version 2.6.29, 2007-10-07
- Added support for the fixed-function counters in Intel Core 2
  processors. To user-space they look like ordinary P6 counters,
  except their PMC numbers are 0x40000000..0x40000002, and their
  evntsels only need Enable, INT, and CPL fields set.
- Preliminary support for AMD Family 10h processors.
  Currently only events that do not need to use the high 32 bits
  of the event select control registers are expected to work.
- Fixed driver compilation warnings caused by perfctr needing
  its own definitions of macros/constants that may or may not
  be defined in the specific kernel version used.
- Updated kernel support: 2.6.23-rc9, 2.6.5-7.276 (SuSE).
