yum operates, thereby alleviating the problem posed by the ever-growing number of packages
included with each minor release. In addition, this update also introduces the reinstall command,
improves the interface for several commands, and applies several bug fixes, including:
Any yum commands would fail if the -c option was used to specify a configuration file
residing on a web address (http). T his bug is now fixed.
A checkSignal() function in yum called an incorrect exit function; as such, exiting yum
would result in a traceback instead. With this release, yum now exits properly.

Instruction Based Sampling on AMD Family10h processors
New hardware profiling support for the AMD Family10h processors has been added for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3. T hese new AMD CPUs support Instruction Based Sampling (IBS). IBS
support requires changes to the oProfile driver to gather this information and initialize the new
Model Specific Registers (MSRs) associated with these new features.
This update adds the new IBS_FETCH and IBS_OP profiling samples to the per CPU buffers
and the event buffers of the oProfile driver. New control entries have also been added to
/dev/oprofile to control IBS sampling. T hese changes are backward compatible with the
previous PMC only version of the driver, and a separate patch is available to oProfile 0.9.3 to
use this new data.
For more information on IBS refer to the paper: Instruction-Based Sampling: A New Performance
