Re: [PATCH 2.6.23] oProfile: op_model_athalon.c support for AMD Family10h (Barcelona) Performance Counters

["Barry Kasindorf" <barry.kasindorf@amd.com>]

Yes,
I saw this about 3 minutes too late :-).

oProfile Driver Module Patch for AMD Family10h Kernel 2.6.23

This patch is for controlling the upper 32bits of the event ctrl msrs.
This includes the upper 4 bits of the event select and the Guest Only 
and Host Only bits
This patch is necessary to make Event Based Profiling work reliably on a 
Family 10h processor
