This has a target of 2.6.27 set, but as I understand it, perfmon2 is *not* actually in 2.6.27. Correct? Correct. Perfmon2 did not make it into 2.6.27. Outlook is uncertain as to what kernel version this will be accepted into. We are actively working with the community to gain mainline acceptance. ------- Comment From mpjohn.com 2009-08-31 15:40 EDT------- Hello, Red Hat, I changed the summary description of this feature request to: "Kernel interface to performance monitor unit" Please change the summary description on the Red Hat side as well. This generic feature description allows for the more likely case that the "Performance Counters for Linux" interface (aka "perf_counters" or "PCL") will be included in RHEL 6, since it's been accepted into mainline and will be included in 2.6.31. PCL would satisfy this feature request. Thank you. ------- Comment From mpjohn.com 2009-08-31 15:44 EDT------- No patch is attached to this bugzilla, on the assumption that RHEL 6 will be based on a kernel version that includes PCL. OK, setting to MODIFIED based on the PCL comment. The feature requested has already been accepted into the upstream code base planned for the next major release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. When the next milestone release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is available, please verify that the feature requested is present and functioning as desired. PCL will be included in RHEL 6 in lieu of perfmon2. ------- Comment From mpjohn.com 2010-04-27 14:34 EDT------- I've verified this feature is present in RHEL6 beta1. Thank you. Verified in 2.6.32-25.el6.ppc64. The feature is present. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is now available and should resolve the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. |
