I mean: event formats are not ABI, except for the TRACE_EVENT_ABI. But concerning how we describe the format description, I have doubts. As an example, I don't know if this patch would break 2.6.32-rc1 (and then 2.6.32) based perf tools running on a future 2.6.33 kernel. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-tip-commits" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
