Pull power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki: - add missing module information to the Mediatek cpufreq driver module (Jesse Chan) - fix config dependencies for the Loongson cpufreq driver (James Hogan) - fix two issues related to CPU offline in the cpupower utility (Abhishek Goel). * tag 'pm-4.15-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: cpufreq: mediatek: add missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR/LICENSE cpufreq: Add Loongson machine dependencies cpupower : Fix cpupower working when cpu0 is offline cpupowerutils: bench - Fix cpu online check
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.
