Hello,

I have the following problem while trying to gather hardware counters
on Barcelona: whenever I start several programs with the same counter
profiling on AMD Barcelona, all of the program invocations except the
first failing with conflicting monitoring session error. The problem
can be revealed with smth like that:

$ pfmon --events=MEMORY_CONTROLLER_REQUESTS:READ_REQUESTS sleep 20 &
[1]
$ pfmon --events=MEMORY_CONTROLLER_REQUESTS:READ_REQUESTS sleep 20 &
error conflicting monitoring session exists

There is no such behaviour on Intel Xeon processors. I wonder what may
cause this strange problem and are there any workarounds to it (i.e.
is it still possible to gather same counter info for several
programs/threads at the same time)?

Thank you!
