Version 2.5.0-pre1 of perfctr, the Linux/x86 performance monitoring counters driver, is now available at the usual place: http://www.csd.uu.se/~mikpe/linux/perfctr/
This is a development snapshot. Although it should work well, it is not binary or API compatible with the current stable version (2.4.5).
Version 2.5.0-pre1, 2003-02-19 - Fixed the driver's API to support global-mode perfctrs on 2.5 SMP kernels and asymmetric hyper-threaded P4 multiprocessors. Updated examples/global/global.c for the new API. - Minor library cleanups. Updated example programs accordingly. - API cleanup: Removed obsolete STOP command from the driver for virtual perfctrs. The library now uses CONTROL instead. - Proper detection and support for AMD K8 processors. They are similar to the K7s, but the event sets are not identical. - The library's event set descriptions have been redesigned and expanded to include unit mask descriptions and descriptions of Intel P4 and AMD K8 events. The etc/perfctr-events.tab text file has been removed since event_codes.h now is generated from the library's data structures.
