Re: [Patch] OProfile SPU event profiling support for IBM Cell processor
|
From: Carl L. <ce...@us...> - 2009-02-02 20:47:14
|
Updated patch to fix some spaces versus tabs issues in the opcontrol file.
Added a change log entry to the patch.
No functional changes made to the patch.
This patch adds the SPU events for the IBM Cell processor to the
list of available events.
