The point of my proposal was to get this very small subset in quickly. Phil, how many of the command line options of pfmon do you actually use? How many do the people at your conference use? Or what functions, what performance counters etc. in PAPI or whatever library you use? Make use understand the use cases better, that would already help a lot in merging by concentrating on what people actually really need. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
