[PATCH] ia64: perfmon update
Here is what I got so far on perfmon for 2.5.31. It includes: - your randomization patch with some rework to make it visible to user. (your existing program does not need to change or recompilation). - 3 error conditions cleanups, a missing unlock fix - copy_*user() replaced with __copy_*_user() or get/put user when appropriate. (This gives us a 15% speed improvement on PFM_READ_PMDS). - sys_perfmonctl(), only check for read-only OR read-write arguments (read and write are not separated anymore) - Non 64-bit overflow do not reset hardware pmd to zero anymore: not needed - incorporated changes from 2.4.18/9: debug registers when used are all restored on ctxsw in. - added automatic reset on inheritance, no more PMU specific knowledge.
