-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other bug fixes and improvements without a filed report (e.g., posted to the list):
---------------
   - Prevent dropping of samples when the JVM changes memory mappings
   - Better handling of IBM Power JVM generated zero-sized mappings
   - Correct handling of anon_hugepage mmap entries for Java
   - Improved oparchive documentation and man page
   - Fixed compile error when using compile fortification
   - Support IBM Power 8 event code larger than sizeof int
   - Avoid changing POSIXLY_CORRECT environment variable for processes monitored
     by operf and ocount
   - Ensure correct setting of the extra bits (edge, inv, cmask) for Intel
     processors
   - Fix default unit masks for Intel Haswell and Broadwell processors
   - Correctly initialize operf temporary file header information


Known problems and limitations
-------------------------
- When using operf to profile multiple events, the absolute number of
  events recorded may be substantially fewer than expected. This can be
  due to known bug in the Linux kernel's Performance Events Subsystem that
  was fixed sometime between Linux kernel version 3.1 and 3.5.

- Since the default unit mask for Intel Broadwell cycle_activity
  cannot be uniquely specified by numbers, the default has to be
  replaced by a named one and named unit masks should be used rather
  than numbers for this event.
