libpfm-4.2.0 released

Hi,

I have released version 4.2.0 of libpfm4

This library is meant to be used on Linux with the perf_event interface present
since kernel version 2.6.31.

There were many updates and bug fixes in this release.
Here are the highlights:

- AMD Fam15h (Bulldozer) core PMU event table (Thanks to Robert Richter  <at>  AMD)
- Updated ARM Cortex A8/A9 support (thanks to Vince Weaver for his help on this)
- MIPS 74k support contributed by Phil Mucci (Samara Technologies)
- 30% reduction is size for the Intel/AMD X86 event tables
- improved OFFCORE_RESPONSE event on Intel Nehalem/Westmere/Sandy Bridge
- many bug fixes and other minor improvements

As usual the tarball is available from the SourceForge.net web site located at:

Thanks to all the contributors,
Enjoy,
