[Perfctr-devel] perfctr-2.6.42 released

[Mikael P. <mi...@it...>]

Version 2.6.42 of perfctr, the Linux performance monitoring
counters kernel extension, is now available at the usual
place: http://user.it.uu.se/~mikpe/linux/perfctr/2.6/

Westmere processors are now explicitly classified as Westmere
not Nehalem as before.  This is needed because Westmere apparently
lacks a few events that were in Nehalem.

Version 2.6.42, 2010-11-07
- Classify Westmere processors as Westmere not Nehalem.
- Update update-kernel to install arch-specific header files
  in arch/$arch/include/asm/ for newer kernels.  Also make
  update-kernel --test trace file installation steps.
- Update usr.src/Makefile to use the LD make variable rather
  than plain 'ld' if set.  Useful for cross-compilation and
  builds with non-default target options.
- Updated kernel support: 2.6.18-194.17.4.el5 (RHEL5).
