Description William Cohen 2023-04-10 18:38:30 UTC
libpfm-4.13.0 (https://perfmon2.sourceforge.net/) is out and would address the various RHEL hardware enablement bugs filed.

Comment 7 Jacob Taylor Valdez 2023-07-26 09:24:36 UTC
Hi Will! 

After looking at this in conjunction with the hardware enablement bugs i've seen for libpfm, what would you think about consolidating all of those hardware enablement mentions here in this rebase release note instead of having 5+ individual hardware enablement release notes for libpfm?

Cheers

Comment 8 William Cohen 2023-07-26 13:31:47 UTC
It is a fine idea to consolidate the individual hardware enablement bugs into the rebase bug. That crossed my mind when I was entering the info for the individual HW enablement bugs doc text.

Comment 9 William Cohen 2023-07-28 15:46:05 UTC
Have a little blurb in doc text listing the microarchitectures supported.  Feel free to tweak it to match the standards.  Intel will probably also want sapphire rapids changed to whatever the marketing name is.

Comment 13 William Cohen 2023-09-11 13:50:35 UTC
The docs look fine to me.
