I would not recommend this. perfmon2 is a dead project and dead tool. It has not been updated since 2.6.30. You should instead use the perf_event subsystem which is actively developed and part of the official Linux kernel since 2.6.31. The subsystems along with the accompanying perf tool offer the same set of capabilities as the perfmon2. Documentation on perf_events and the perf tool exist online. The sources of the perf tool are included with the Linux kernel source tree (tools/perf). https://perf.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Tutorial > I need to learn how these tools work with multiple process simultaneously.
