Lockmeter 1.2.1 and the matching lockstat 1.2 are now available. They have
been tested for i386 and are believed to compile and work also for Alpha, but
definitive Alpha testing is still pending.
The heart of the lockmeter 1.2.1 changes are contributed by Ray Bryant at IBM
(raybry@xxxxxxxxxx) and reduce the performance impact of "hold time" metering
by about half. Accordingly, lockmeter/lockstat now does not treat "hold"
metering as a special costlier option. When you turn on metering, you get
both.
I am going on vacation until April 14 and will be unable to respond to email
during my absence. I hope that this mailing list will be used to communicate
any problems that arise, and I apologize in advance for causing those problems.
After I return from vacation I plan to implement lockmetering in the IA64.
