I'm assuming Mikael's Pettersson "perfctr" wasn't mentioned due to it's lack of likelihood to make it into the main-line kernel in the near future. Is that the case?
It's still a very useful performance monitoring API and utilized quite extensively by UT Knoxville's Performance API (PAPI), even if it never makes the big time.
