This package contains a simpl test suite for the perfmon2 API. The test rely on libpfm for event
assignment. Thus, the sources of the library are included and are compiled automatically. In that
sense, the package is self-contained.


Requirements:
	- to run the suite, you need a Linux kernel 2.6.24 or higer with perfmon v2.8 or higher
	  you can check your version in /sys/kernel/perfmon/version

Running:
	- to run the test, simply invoke tests/pfm_tests
	- tests will run regardeless of successes or failures of previous tests
