    [PATCH] ia64: switch to perfmon2 · 3b4e81bd
    Stéphane Eranian authored
    This patch contains a major rewrite of the perfmon subsystem to
    bring it to version 2.0. This version is NOT compatible with the
    existing perfmon-1.x version which was in 2.5 and still is in 2.4
    kernels. This new codebase brings a lot of new features including
    the ability to attach to already running tasks, the ability the
    follow clone2, the ability to write your own sampling buffer format
    via kernel modules. It is also much more robust than its 1.x
    counter-part. This version supports the Itanium, McKinley and
    Madison PMUs. This is beta quality code and extensions to the
    interface are planned.
