Then it was decided that perfmon was the way ahead, and perfctr died. And now perfmon isn't making progress in the kernelwards direction (worse, perfmon is getting bigger, thus making a merge harder and harder). So we now have the worst of all worlds. This is a problem. I'd suggest that at this time we should be concentrating on getting perfmon merged up rather than adding more stuff to the out-of-tree version. IOW: please send patches ;) And keep sending them. People want this. Thanks.
