Right, so I already posted a patch like that: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/3/4/160 and the reason its not merged is because there is no perf use-case for it. Ingo wants to avoid merging ABI bits for which there is no userspace around. We already have a few such things and we find that its too easy to regress on those part. So if you want this, please also implement a useful use-case in perf. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
