The way it is currently setup is that writes to read-only PMD registers are ignored. No error is generated, yet the register is marked as used. See include/linux/perfmon.h:pfm_write_pmd(). Do you have a problem with this approach in your setup? _______________________________________________ perfmon mailing list [email protected] http://www.hpl.hp.com/hosted/linux/mail-archives/perfmon/
