Why does pmctrace(1) need to be in base? I can see that there is kernel driver code to support this, is it to keep the userland pmctrace(1) closely coupled to the kernel hwpmc(4) code? I shall assert this code also has a broken license form, if you read LICENSE there is no copyright "above" to retain, or print for a binary release. As a consumer of that LICENSE technically I have to display nothing. I am sure that is not the desired intent. I believe this is still under review without formal policy from core. > pmctrace(1) is currently on review: > https://reviews.freebsd.org/D12875 > https://reviews.freebsd.org/D14618 > > Thanks > > Rusoan > > -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@freebsd.org
