I tend to doubt it. I don't think the traditional Linux vendors are willing to support the code, hence the reason for the extra patch. I'm not sure if SLES9 has it either.

I found the patch on alphaworks as part of the june 2003 stream. Instructions seem to indicate a recompile of the kernal from source. Isnt' that kinda drastic? Any way to tell if that patch is on SLES8/SP3 as delievered from the vendor? My boss said 'Nyet' to recompiling the kernal - And frankly, it is well beyond my comfort level. I would think a kernel re-compile would be for something aggregious that needed fixing yesterday. Not for a performance monitor hook.

Please respond to Linux on 390 Port <[EMAIL PROTECTED] IST.EDU>
There is a Performance Toolkit redbook that has a chapter about monitoring Linux. It may mention where to get the patch.

Getting ready to test z/VM 5.1 and the system guy drops a page on me that says:
The LINUX Kernel needs the "Linux-z/VM monitor stream" patch applied.
The book SC24-6136-00 z/VMPerformance Toolkit Version 5 Release 1.0
doesn't
mention where this patch is available from....Only that I need it. Can anyone tell me where I can find this?
