The original patch set of this is here (a rebased version): http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/rric/oprofile.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/perf-nb This code was tested in detail. > The main differences are: > > - The northbridge counters are indexed contiguously right above the > core performance counters. > > - MSR address offset calculations are moved to architecture specific > files. > > - Interrups are set up to be delivered only to a single core. So I rather suggest to make delta patches on top of my patches. Peter's main concerns were that my patch set is not in the Intel-uncore style. I started reworking this but was not able to finish my work. This concerns still exist. Due to the current situation I would rather prefer to create a tip:perf/amd-nb branch that includes my patches and then add all further necessary steps for mainline acceptance on top of it.
