The following changes have been made from the last version: The major change is support for heterogeneous systems with some restrictions. Specifically, userspace must pin itself to like CPUs, open a specific PMU by type, and use h/w specific events. The tests have been reworked to demonstrate this. Chained events are not supported. The problem with supporting chained events was there's no way to distinguish between a chained event and a native 64-bit counter. We could add some flag, but do self monitoring processes really need that? Native 64-bit counters are supported if the PMU h/w has support. As there's already an explicit ABI to request 64-bit counters, userspace can request 64-bit counters and if user access is not enabled, then it must retry with 32-bit counters. There was a bug in that pmc_width was not set in the user page. The tests now check for this. The documentation has been converted to rST. I've added sections on chained events and heterogeneous. The tests have been expanded to test the cycle counter access.
