Hi All,

With help of Sean, I've prepared another semi-working patch:
http://www.strugglingcoder.info/patches/hwpmc_sbx_1.txt

I still haven't written the man page. I wanted to get some feedback
(bashing/yelling) before spending more time on this.

I am not quite sure how to handle uncore events. I've put ugly hack to
avoid wrmsr/rdmsr for this particular set of processors. I bet there are
better ways to handle this situation. (in hwpmc_uncore.c)

Here is the o/p of "pmccontrol -L":
http://www.strugglingcoder.info/patches/pmccontrol_1.txt

I've run the pmctest.py script (by gnn):
http://www.strugglingcoder.info/patches/pmctestpy_1.txt

I am seeing "invalid argument" for some events. I've tried to check
pmc_events.h to see that those events are listed. Not sure what else I
should check.

I've also tried to follow the commands Fabien listed for testing on
http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/CFT-hwpmc-support-for-Intel-Ivy-Bridge-tp5740299p5740577.html

I am getting panic on following:
- Soft counter:
pmcstat -SPAGE_FAULT.ALL -w4 -T

Please let me know if anything else I can provide.

Thanks a ton,

p.s. I don't know how computers work.
