I think so, yes. The ia64 perfmon has some features perfctr doesn't have, but my perfctr API changes will allow perfctr to grow its feature list and adapt to HW changes without breaking the API. Its unlikely that perfctr will ever implement everything perfmon does, but multiplexing and overflow sample buffering are two features that should be added at some point. /Mikael - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
