Please provide more detail for commits like this in the future. Some questions I have some of which probably should have been answered in the log: - Why does this matter? For example, does this provide counters for a CPUs we don't currently support counters on? - Does this supplant the existing tables of counters in hwpmc or is this a different set of counters (or how do these counter tables interact with our existing tables in general)? - What is the origin of these json files? What is the license? These seem to come straight from the Linux kernel which should be acknowledged via Obtained from: at the very least. It does seem that the jevents source is explicitly BSD licensed (2 clause). This is noted in the git logs in the Linux tree. However, I couldn't find a clear statement on the json files themselves and what their license is. Are you aware of a license for those or do they fall under the GPLv2 "default" license in /COPYING of the Linux source tree? -- John Baldwin _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
