History

Thomas Renninger 568a89904c cpupower: Better interface for accessing AMD pci registers AMD's BKDG (Bios and Kernel Developers Guide) talks in the CPU spec of their CPU families about PCI registers defined by "device" (slot) and func(tion). Assuming that CPU specific configuration PCI devices are always on domain and bus zero a pci_slot_func_init() func which gets the slot and func of the desired PCI device passed looks like the most convenient way. This also obsoletes the PCI device id maintenance.

README

The cpufrequtils package (homepage: 
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/cpufreq/cpufrequtils.html ) 
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).


libcpufreq
----------

"libcpufreq" 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 default libcpufreq,
cpufreq-set and cpufreq-info files and installs them in /usr/lib and
/usr/bin, respectively. 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 cpufrequtils;
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 
cpufrequtils.
