This one is relative to 2.6.15-rc6 and hopefully should fix some of the problems people have reported. This new kernel patch fixes the following: - kernel panic in perfmon_pmu.c or perfmon_fmt.c if PMU description or buffer format is compiled in. - missing __user in perfmon_syscalls.c - better handling of NMI reservation for X86-64, EM64T and i386. You MUST use libpfm-3.2-051215 with this kernel due to interface change for pfm_create_context(). As usual, you can download the latest packages from the SourceForge website at: http://www.sf.net/projects/perfmon2 -- -Stephane
