Hello, I just want to say that, while I fully understand that the perfmon project is not supported anymore and that we all need to move on with PERF_EVENTS/perf, the thing is that perf lacks some important features that used to work well with pfmon. I'm talking mostly about the following two:
1) pfmon can monitor more events than there are actual physical counters on the PMU with the event sets mechanism. 2) pfmon can print intermediate counts while in system-wide mode. I haven't found any features that resemble these ones in the perf versions that I used. I was wondering if maybe it is possible to add them or, at least, to make pfmon work with PERF_EVENTS? I also wanted to ask, how hard it is to come up by myself with the perfmon patch for, say, 2.6.36 kernel using a 2.6.29 patch (the latest one released for pfmon) as the basis? Basically, I would greatly appreciate any ideas on how the above two features can be used/implemented with the latest Linux kernels.
