New Platforms:
* Added Knights Landing (KNL) core events and preset events.
* Added Intel Broadwell/Skylake/Knights Landing RAPL support
* Updated PAPI preset event support for Intel Broadwell/Skylake
New Implementations:
* libmsr component: Using LLNL's libmsr library to access Intel
RAPL (Running Average Power Limit) library adds power capping
abilities to PAPI.
* CUDA PC sampling: A new standalone CUDA sampling tool
(papi_cuda_sampling) has been added to the CUDA component
(components/cuda/sampling/) and can be used as a preloader to
perform PC sampling on Nvidia GPUs which support the CUPTI
sampling interface (e.g. Maxwell).
* ARM Cortex A53 support: Event definitions added.
New Component:
* Powercap component: PAPI now supports the Linux Power Capping
Framework which exposes power capping devices and power measurement
to user space via a sysfs virtual file system interface.
Enhancements:
* Added Haswell-EP uncore support
* Initial Broadwell, Skylake support
* Added a general CUDA example (components/cuda/test) that uses
LD_PRELOAD to attach to a running CUcontext.
* Added "-check" flag to papi_avail and papi_native_avail to
test counter availability/validity.
* Add support for multiple flavors of POWER8 processors.
* Force all processors to check event schedulability by checking that
PAPI can successfully read the counters.
* Support for Intel Broadwell-EP, Skylake, Goldmont, Haswell-EP

* Power 8 (initial support)
New Components:
---------------
* Host-side MIC power component
Enhancements:
------------
* Component tests are now included with install-tests make
target.

* (Intel) Uncore support has been split into its own component
* Lustre component better handles large numbers of filesystems
- Remove papi-use_major_in_soname.patch as the problem has been
fixed upstream.

- update to 5.0.1 (fixes build for ARM):
* This is a major release of PAPI. Parts of both the internal
component and external low-level interfaces have changed. This
will break your 4.4 compliant components and links to shared
libraries.
A full detailed description of the changes to PAPI 5.0 can be found here:
http://web.eecs.utk.edu/~vweaver1/papers/papi/papi_v5_changes.pdf
- Removed papi-glibc-siginfo.patch, papi-list_components.patch,
papi-use_as_help_string.patch: Already upstream or not needed
- Removed papi-lmsensors_check.patch: can be replaced by configure
option
- i586-libpfm4-compile-fix.diff: Fix compile on i586

New Platforms:
--------------
Added PAPI support for Blue Gene/Q.
Bug Fixes:
----------
* Fix buffer overrun in lmsensors component
* libpfm4: Update to current git libpfm4 snapshot
* Fix broken Pentium 4 Prescott support we were missing the netburst_p
declaration in papi_events.csv
* Fix various locking issues in the threaded code.
* Fix multiplexing of large eventsets on perf_events systems.
This presented when using more than 31 multiplexed events on perf_event
- Add a devel-static package that contains the static libraries.
- For other changes since 4.2.1 see RELEASENOTES.txt in the packages
documentation.
- Update to 4.2.1:
Bug Fixes:
----------
* multiplexing math errors were fixed in perf_events.c
* more multiplexing read path errors were identified and fixed
* Fix SMP ARM issues reported by Harald Servat.
* src/papi_events.csv: Update the coreduo (not core2) events. Most
notably the FP events were wrong.
* Modify Intel Sandybridge PAPI_FP_OPS and PAPI_FP_INS events to
not count x87 fp instructions. The problem is that the current
predefines were made by adding 5 events. With the NMI watchdog
stealing an event and/or hyperthreading reducing the number of
available counters by half, we just couldn't fit.

- Update to 4.0.0:
- fixed L3 cache size reporting for AMD Family 10h processors
- fixed std deviation underflow in sdsc2 and sdsc4 tests
- fixed bug in counter assignment for FreeBSD Atom implementation
- updated cache tables for Intel Nehalem i7 processors
- configure provides better autodetection of 2.6.31 or 2.6.32 kernels and
perf_counter interface (in most cases)
- configure provides better detection and autoselection of perfctr or perfmon
drivers for linux
- configure and sources have been modified to support perf_counter on
kernel 2.6.31 and perf_event on kernel 2.6.32
- a papi.spec file has been added to simplify creation of rpms
- Add Upstream patch2:
* the utils/papi_version utility now reports PAPI 4.0.0.2, where the
last digit matches the patch number.
* the papi.spec file has a correction for a minor typo in the
ExcludeArch line.
* a serious but insidious bug in the overflow logic was corrected. This
bug would only show up when PAPI_overflow was called between calls to
PAPI_add_event. Overflow would only be set for the last call of
PAPI_overflow. This has been corrected.
* configure was mis-identifying some Pentium 4 processors; this has been
corrected.
* the ctests/shlib test now tests against the shared math library,
libm.so, instead of libpapi.so
* the PAPI_set_multiplex() call was silently returning without setting
multiplex TRUE in cases where no event had been assigned to an eventset.
This silent error has been removed.
* the perfmon and perf_events counter interfaces were not properly
handling event unit masks. This has been fixed.
* PAPI_name_to_code() was not exiting properly in certain circumstances,
failing on events where there should have been a match. This has been
corrected.
- Add RPM_OPT_FLAG to CFLAGS in configure.
- Initialize variables where the compiler can't determine that they're
used initialized.
- Add full prototypes to src/ctests/mendes-alt.c
- Delete the test for pfm_msg_t.type in configure for external libpfm instead
of disabling the test all together.
- build against libpfm3 on ia64 (bnc#578864)
- fix filelist for ia64 again, perfmon file is back
- Fix dependencies in baselibs.conf (papi-devel-32bit requires
libpapi-32bit not papi-32bit which doesn't exist) (#bnc565236)
- add baselibs.conf including libpapi and papi-devel (bnc #565236)
- fix typo in last change
- fix filelist for ia64 (remove /usr/share/papi), as the only
file there does not exist on ia64
- fix filelist for ia64
- remove "," from excludearch
- Update to 3.7.2:
Bug Fixes:
----------
* fixed L3 cache size reporting for AMD Family 10h processors

- Include perf_counter.h from kernel because kernel-headers
doesn't include the file.
