This repository contains a kernel module and library.

ARM performance monitor units (PMUs) are only available on ARMv7 machines. In general, this means you'll need a Cortex-A7 or better (A8, A9, A15, etc.)

More details are available in my blog post.

To compile, load, test and remove the module, you can just run:

$ sudo make runtests

• Samsung Chromebook
  • Exynos 5 Dual, 1.7gHz Cortex-A15
  • Ubuntu 13.04
• ODROID-U2
  • Exynos 4 Quad, 1.7gHz Cortex-A9
  • Ubuntu/Linaro 12.10 derivative

TBD: PandaBoard.
