[LCP]rdpmc

[Sanka Piyaratna]

Hi all,

I am trying to use the pmc performance counter to count the number of Branch miss predictions and cache misses under linux on a intel pentium II machine. Unfortunately my program is giving me a segmentation fault. 

I read some document recently, saying that I need to anable some flag in the kernel to execute this instruction "rdpmc". Is that so?  Could some body please help me on this.

Thank you 

Regards,

Sanka
