Description : Library to program the performance monitoring events
Libpfm4 helps convert from an event name, expressed as a string, to
the event encoding. The encoding can then be used with specific OS
interfaces. Libpfm4 also provides OS-specific interfaces to directly
setup OS-specific data structures to be passed to the kernel. The
current libpfm4, for instance, provides support for the perf_events
interface which was introduced in Linux v2.6.31.
Note: this package is a dependency of PAPI (see next ITP)
Note2: libpfm3 was in Debian but it is abandonned upstream (and removed in
wheezy). libpfm4 is a full rewrite (both projects coexisted during a time)
