That seems to have gotten lost somehow..

/usr/src/linux-2.6/kernel/hw_breakpoint.c: In function ‘register_user_hw_breakpoint’:
/usr/src/linux-2.6/kernel/hw_breakpoint.c:436: warning: passing argument 3 of ‘perf_event_create_kernel_counter’ makes pointer from integer without a cast
/usr/src/linux-2.6/include/linux/perf_event.h:909: note: expected ‘struct task_struct *’ but argument is of type ‘pid_t’

The below cures it
