Strictly speaking that's still not correct English - "performance
counters" is plural, the "kernel-based subsystem" is singular, and
'provide' assumes plural again.

Perhaps "Performance counters for Linux are provided by a new
kernel-based subsystem that provides a framework ..."

... but I don't know anything about this subsystem, so that might be wrong.
