Hello

I'm having some weird problems with perfmon2 on a 2.6.27.2 kernel patched 
with the newest perfmon patch.

This is on an Intel Core machine.

For some reason, any counter I read seems to have at least 2^32 added to 
it, sometimes multiple times that.

For example:
chocovic:~% pfmon /bin/true
4295152148 UNHALTED_CORE_CYCLES
chocovic:~% pfmon /bin/true
4295148838 UNHALTED_CORE_CYCLES
chocovic:~% pfmon /bin/true
4295151887 UNHALTED_CORE_CYCLES

chocovic:~% pfmon -e instructions_retired /bin/true
4295090034 INSTRUCTIONS_RETIRED

chocovic:~% pfmon --version
pfmon version 3.6 Date: Oct 21 2008
Copyright (C) 2001-2007 Hewlett-Packard Company

Possibly relevant boot messages:

perfmon: version 2.82
perfmon: CPU hotplug support enabled
perfmon: Intel Core PMU detection failed
perfmon: detected architecural perfmon v1
perfmon: num_gen=2 width=40 num_fixed=0 width=0
perfmon: Intel architectural PMU installed
perfmon: processor does not have PEBS support
perfmon: added sampling format default

CPU info:

cpu family      : 6
model           : 14
model name      : Genuine Intel(R) CPU           T2300  @ 1.66GHz
stepping        : 8


Thanks for any help on this issue...

Vince
