Subject: [PATCH] add X86_FEATURE_PEBS and detection
Date: Fri, 6 Oct 2006 02:10:06 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061006091006.GD8793@frankl.hpl.hp.com> (raw)

Hello,

Here is a patch (used by perfmon2) to detect the presence of the
Precise Event Based Sampling (PEBS) feature for Intel 64-bit processors.
The patch also adds the cpu_has_pebs macro.

IMPORTANT: you need to have the X86_FEATURE_DS renaming patch applied first!

changelog:
	- adds X86_FEATURE_PEBS
	- adds cpu_has_pebs to test for X86_FEATURE_PEBS
