Another note on the urgency of standardizing Perfmon:
Anarchy is not a good breeding ground for tools that need a stable infrastructure to mature. Being "there" is what made PAPI and perfctr popular and somewhat standard infrastructure.
Compilers, tools, JVMs... -you name it- are all moving fast towards using hardware counters to get feedback, tune, monitor or measure application behavior.
The PMU is becoming a standard commodity. Once Perfmon is "the" Linux interface, all the tools can align on it and coexist, push their R&D forward, and more importantly become fully productized for businesses usage. Hopefully Perfmon's interface is powerful enough to support future needs.
Good luck Stephane :)
