I'm far from a hacker but regarding API, you should check that your interface could support the PerfAPI effort. This API is aiming at providing the same *programmer* interface on many OS.
PerfAPI - Performance Data Standard and API http://icl.cs.utk.edu/projects/papi/
Another question: does your patch support SMP systems ?
I'll try to put a link on my web page (http://www.irisa.fr/prive/dmentre/linux-counters/).
Hope it helps, david -- David.Mentre@irisa.fr -- http://www.irisa.fr/prive/dmentre/ Opinions expressed here are only mine.
