Announcing PAPI 5.4.1

[jagode00]

PAPI 5.4.1 is now available. This is a minor release with a major rewrite of the CUDA component as well as several other enhancements and bug fixes.

There have been several other bug fixes and enhancements:

New Platforms:

Updated support for Intel Haswell and Haswell-EP
Added ARM Cortex A7
Added ARM 1176 CPU (original Raspberry Pi)

Enhancements:

Enhance PAPI preset events to allow user defined events (User defined events are set up via a user event definition file)
New test demonstrating attaching an eventset to a single CPU rather than a thread.
Use the term "event qualifiers" instead of "event masks" to clarify understanding.
Added pkg-config support to PAPI.

Bug Fixes:

Fixed lustre segfault bug in lustre component.
Fixed compilation in the absence of a Fortran compiler.
Fixed bug in krental_pthreads ctest to join threads properly on exit.
Fixed bug in perf_events where event masks were not getting cleared properly.
