Gary, The GIT tree contains the latest code against 2.6.29. I am very late for 2.6.29, I recognize it. I have been busy with other issues.
What's missing for 2.6.29? I said, I would add PEBS support for Intel Nehalem. The reason this was delayed is that in 2.6.29, there is a new internal API called ds.c which must be used to managed PEBS. I changed the existing Netburst and Core PEBS modules to use this new API with only tiny visible changes to user level code. But this prompted another redesign on PEBS support. With ds.c, it is now possible to provide a unified PEBS kernel modules for Netburst, Core, and Nehalem. And this got delayed unfortunately. I am hoping that by next week, I should have something useable.
