Wed Jul  4 11:45:05 CEST 2012 - pth@suse.de

- libquadmath is only needed/available from 12.1 up.
- Remove patches and files not needed anymore.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Apr 23 14:21:06 CEST 2012 - pth@suse.de

- Update to 4.4.0:
  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.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Feb 22 16:21:25 CET 2012 - pth@suse.de

- 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.
	  This now raises the potential for people using x87-compiled
	  floating point on Sandybridge and getting 0 FP_OPS.  This is only
	  likely if running a 32-bit kernel and *not* compiling your code
	  with -msse.
	  A long-term solution might be trying to find a better set of FP
	  predefines for sandybridge.
	* Apply patch suggested by Will Cohen to check for system return
	  values.
	* Patch to cleanup dependencies, allowing for parallel makes.

* Fix two race conditions that are probably the cause of the
	  pthrtough double-free error.
	  When freeing a thread, we remove and free all eventsets belonging
	  to that thread.  This could race with the thread itself removing
	  the evenset, causing some ESI fields to be freed twice.
	  The problem was found by using the Valgrind 3.8 Helgrind tool
	    valgrind --tool=helgrind --free-is-write=yes ctests/pthrtough
	  In order for Helgrind to work, I had to temporarily modify PAPI
	  to use POSIX pthread mutexes for locking.

Enhancements:
   -------------
	* general doxygen cleanups
	* cleanup output of overflow_allcounters for clarity in debugging
	* updates to most recent (as of Feb 1) libpfm4
	* remove now-opaque event codes from papi_native_avail
	  and papi_xml_event_info
	* Update the component initialization code so that it can handle a
	  PAPI ERROR return gracefully.  Previously there was no way to
	  indicate initialization failure besides just setting
	  num_native_events to 0.
	 
  New Platforms:
  -------------
 	* Support for AMD Family 11.
	* Support for AMD Family 12.
	
  Deprecated Platforms:
  ---------------------
	* remove obsolete ACPI component
	
  New / Improved Components:
  ---------------
	* PAPI CUDA component updated for CUDA / CUPTI 4.1.
		* SetCudaDevice() now works with the latest CUDA 4.1 version.
		* Auto-detection of CUDA version for backward compatibility.
		* PAPI_read() now accumulates event values. This fixes a bug
		in earlier versions.
	* extensive updates and cleanups to the example and coretemp components.
	* significant updates of lustre, and mx components
	* The linux net component underwent extensive updates and cleanups.
  	  In particular, it nows dynamically detects the network
	  interface names [1] and export 16 counters for each interface
  	  (see also src/components/net/{CHANGES,README}).

Experimental:
  -------------
	* a new vmware component has been added to report a variety of soft events
	  when running as a guest in a VMWare environment

- Add upstream patch for libpfm4 to fix signed/unsigned issues.
- Readd ExcludeArch for s390/s390x as it isn't supported by PAPI.

Tue Jun 22 19:02:33 UTC 2010 - alexandre@exatati.com.br

- Update to 4.0.1:
  - configure was mis-identifying some Pentium 4 processors
  - the ctests/shlib test now tests against the shared math library, libm.so,
    instead of libpapi.so, which works more predictably with library renaming.
  - multiplexing was silently returning without setting multiplex TRUE in 
    cases where no event had been assigned to an eventset. An event must be
    added to an eventset or PAPI_assign_eventset_component() must be called
    before multiplexing can be enabled. 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 is corrected.
  - 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.
    - IBM Blue Gene P systems were corrupting stack frames and crashing when the
      papi_get_event_info call was executed. This has been fixed.
    - The PAPI cycles event was not working for IBM Blue Gene P. This is fixed.
      papi_native_avail was exiting improperly when using the -e option. 
      This caused problems with batch execution systems (like Blue Gene P). 
      This has been fixed.
    - a significant number of memory leaks have been purged.
    - compiler warning flags have been tightened and a range of warnings have
      been eliminated.
    - removed implicit type conversions in prototypes.
  - the utils/papi_version utility now reports four digits where the last digit
    matches the patch number.
  - Pentium II and Athlon now use libpfm for event decoding like all other x86
    platforms.
  - Doxygen documentation has been added to the API and components.
  - Component compilation has been completely restructured. See
    /papi/src/components/README for details.
  - PAPI can now be compiled with a no-cpu-counters option
  - the ultrasparc architecture has been resurrected
  - freebsd support was migrated from PAPI 3.7
  - Intel Nehalem EX and Westmere support has been added
  - IBM BG/L has been deprecated.
  - POWER 3 and POWER4 have been deprecate
  - Infiniband: Experimental
  - Lustre: Experimental
  - example: provides simple test case and template code.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Jun 14 19:01:14 UTC 2010 - alexandre@exatati.com.br

- Add Upstream patch3:
  * the utils/papi_version utility reports PAPI 4.0.0.3, where the last
    digit matches the patch number.
  * the ultrasparc architecture has been resurrected and supported in this
    patch.
  * IBM Blue Gene P systems were corrupting stack frames and crashing when
    the papi_get_event_info call was executed. This has been fixed.
  * papi_native_avail was exiting improperly when using the -e option.
    This caused problems with batch execution systems (like Blue Gene P).
    This has been fixed.
- Spec file cleaned with spec-cleaner.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Mar 24 19:04:12 UTC 2010 - pth@novell.com

- Don't run testsuite as there are too many reasons why it won't
  work on the build machine.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

    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

  * 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.
