Nathan,
Forgot to respond to the list first time around. Sorry for the
duplicate.

I wasn't able to get the linux pmda to report any swap activity

about it, but it seems to work for us.
Just so I can reproduce it locally, what was the test case you were
using? Is something like "pminfo -f swap" enough to show the issue
(if so, can you send the output you're observing)?
Sure. While a machine is actively swapping, before the patch:
pmval swap.pagesout
metric: swap.pagesout
host: localhost
semantics: cumulative counter (converting to rate)
units: count (converting to count / sec)
samples: all

After the patch:
pmval swap.pagesout
metric: swap.pagesout
host: localhost
semantics: cumulative counter (converting to rate)
units: count (converting to count / sec)
samples: all
