.SH RUN THE LATEST VERSION
|
||||
If turbostat complains that it doesn't recognize your processor,
|
||||
please try the latest version.
|
||||
|
||||
The latest version of turbostat does not require the latest version of the Linux kernel.
|
||||
However, some features, such as perf(1) counters, do require kernel support.
|
||||
|
||||
The latest turbostat release is available in the upstream Linux Kernel source tree.
|
||||
eg. "git pull https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git"
|
||||
and run make in tools/power/x86/turbostat/.
|
||||
|
||||
n.b. "make install" will update your system manually, but a distro update may subsequently downgrade your turbostat to an older version.
|
||||
For this reason, manually installing to /usr/local/bin may be what you want.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that turbostat/Makefile has a "make snapshot" target, which will create a tar file
|
||||
that can build without a local kernel source tree.
|
||||
|
||||
If the upstream version isn't new enough, the development tree can be found here:
|
||||
"git pull https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux.git turbostat"
|
||||
|
||||
If the development tree doesn't work, please contact the author via chat,
|
||||
or via email with the word "turbostat" on the Subject line.
