Hello,
I have decided to make a pre-release of my 2.6.20 perfmon2 kernel patch.
It has been a very busy week chasing bugs on x86 and ia-64. I fixed a
serious deadlock condition in pfm_restart() today.
Before making a broader announce, and because I know many of you have been
awaiting this release, I have decided to release what I have so far.
I encourage you to test it and stress it. There may still be an issue that I
need to chase down, that is why a make a limited release.
There are no new feature in this release, simply some code restructuring
especially with the arch-specific layer. Several important bugs have been
fixed related to set switching and in-flight interrupts.
Please try it out, and report any suspicious results.
Hopefully by next week, we'll have something that I can release to the
wider audience.
You can grab the pre-release at:
ftp://ftp.hpl.hp.com/pub/linux-ia64/perfmon-new-base-070209.tar.gz
MD5SUM: a4aec4a65de1cdb137d26313713e52c4
Thanks.
