This one is STILL relative to 2.6.15-rc6 and is called 2.6.15-rc6-v2. This one DOES fix the panic on pfm_fmt_put()! This patch includes compared to initial 2.6.15-rc6: - quick overview of perfmon2 README - fix the kernel panic on pfm_fmt_put() - save/restore of PMU state when NMI watchdog is enabled. - reinforced checks in register_smpl_fmt() - revised checks to detect if a format/PMU description is builtin or module - sampling formats can now export the notification message queue depth they require. - MIPS patch updated to latest fixes. 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 This will hopefully be the last release for this year. Happy Holidays. -- -Stephane
