I've spent a day poking around various Linux trees without luck.

Is the bug in the stock Linux kernel or only in the perfmon2 patches?

Is the fix in a later perfmon2 patchset?

The tree I am using is based on the 070725 release.  I've gone through all 
of the MIPS code touched by this, and also with the most recent perfmon2 
release and I don't see anything that different.  Especially not anything 
involving assembly files.

Thanks for the help

Vince
