| |
Version 2.6.1 of perfctr, the Linux/x86 performance monitoring counters driver, is now available at the usual place: http://www.csd.uu.se/~mikpe/linux/perfctr/
Version 2.6.1, 2003-10-05 - Opening a process' virtual perfctrs is now done via /dev/perfctr instead of /proc/<pid>/perfctr. This is needed due to the changed semantics for /proc/self and /proc/<pid>/ in kernel 2.6.0-test6. User-space is not affected since the perfctr-2.6 API and user-space library was prepared for this access method change. User-space code monitoring other processes should use gettid() to identify tasks in 2.6 kernels, since getpid() does the wrong thing for process threads. - Driver cleanups from obsoleting 2.4.15 and older kernels. - Made examples/global/global.c more robust. - Simplified usage with 2.6 kernels: it's no longer necessary to add an 'alias' declaration in /etc/modprobe.conf. - Added support for AMD K8 Revision C processors.
