As you may have seen I started fixing some of these regressions myself by posting patches to LKML. The first priority was correct event -> counter assignment. This is almost done now (at least on x86-tip). Next step is to add the non-standard features, such as PEBS, LBR, uncore, offcore and the likes. They will all be implemented because they are important to many users. > There are several events in this set that we view as being very important > when trying to > determine how memory is being accessed and what the impact of memory access > is on > an applications performance. > > We view this as a huge loss when we had to move from perfmon2 to > perf_events and I > am hoping you can tell me it is just a temporary regression. > > In addition this is probably not the best place to post questions about > perf_events, can you > point me to a better place to post these kind of questions ?? > The normal place would be LKML. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.
