ACPI / tools: Introduce ec_access.c - tool to access the EC
* pm-tools:
cpupower: Remove mc and smt power aware scheduler info/settings
cpupower: cpupower info -b should return 0 on success, not the perf bias value
cpupower: If root, try to load msr driver on x86 if /dev/cpu/0/msr is not available
cpupower: Install recently added cpupower-idle-{set, info} manpages
cpupower: Introduce idle state disable-by-latency and enable-all
cpupower: Remove all manpages on make uninstall
cpupower: Remove dead link to homepage, and update the targets built.
cpupower: Rename cpufrequtils -> cpupower, and libcpufreq -> libcpupower.
PM / tools: cpupower: add option to display values without round offs
tools / power: turbostat: Drop temperature checks
The cpupower package consists of the following elements:
requirements
------------
On x86 pciutils is needed at runtime (-lpci).
For compilation pciutils-devel (pci/pci.h) and a gcc version
providing cpuid.h is needed.
For both it's not explicitly checked for (yet).
libcpupower
----------
"libcpupower" is a library which offers a unified access method for userspace
tools and programs to the cpufreq core and drivers in the Linux kernel. This
allows for code reduction in userspace tools, a clean implementation of
the interaction to the cpufreq core, and support for both the sysfs and proc
interfaces [depending on configuration, see below].
compilation and installation
----------------------------
make
su
make install
should suffice on most systems. It builds libcpupower to put in
/usr/lib; cpupower, cpufreq-bench_plot.sh to put in /usr/bin; and
cpufreq-bench to put in /usr/sbin. If you want to set up the paths
differently and/or want to configure the package to your specific
needs, you need to open "Makefile" with an editor of your choice and
edit the block marked CONFIGURATION.
THANKS
------
Many thanks to Mattia Dongili who wrote the autotoolization and
libtoolization, the manpages and the italian language file for cpupower;
to Dave Jones for his feedback and his dump_psb tool; to Bruno Ducrot for his
powernow-k8-decode and intel_gsic tools as well as the french language file;
and to various others commenting on the previous (pre-)releases of
cpupower.
