Hi, I have updated the libpfm4 GIT tree with support for the upcoming Intel Westmere processor (model 37, 44) as documented in Vol 3b Dec 2009.
The update includes both core and uncore PMU, though, only core PMU is supported by perf_events. Perf_events Westmere support is not yet available in 2.6.33-rc7 but only in tip-x86. It will eventually show up in Linus' tree. As for perfmon, in the next coming days, I will also enable Westmere support in the perfmon kernel GIT tree (2.6.30) and in libpfm for perfmon (a.k.a. libpfm3). That will allow core and uncore PMU support. To get the latest libpfm4: git clone git://perfmon2.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/perfmon2/libpfm4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.
