Hi Chen, I went and checked with people in the community, and I can confirm that perfmon2 is deprecated for everything but ia64. Since KVM/ia64 is pretty stale and I doubt it even works, I would not recommend for pushing perfmon2 tests into autotest at this point. As for how to see it, then I don't think there really is a way except for looking at the code. Cheers, Jes PS: Please don't CC closed mailing lists when posting to public lists like the KVM list.
