tools/power cpupower: Reset errno before strtoull()

2026-03-04T12:19:36+00:00

[ Upstream commit f9bd3762cf1bd0c2465f2e6121b340883471d1bf ] cpuidle_state_get_one_value() never cleared errno before calling strtoull(), so a prior ERANGE caused every cpuidle counter read to return zero. Reset errno to 0 before the conversion so each sysfs read is evaluated independently.

tools/cpupower: Fix inverted APERF capability check

2026-03-04T12:19:35+00:00

[ Upstream commit 24858a84163c8d04827166b3bcaed80612bb62fc ] The capability check was inverted, causing the function to return error when APERF support is available and proceed when it is not. Negate the condition to return error only when APERF capability is absent.

tools/power/cpupower: Support building libcpupower statically

2025-11-05T16:56:01+00:00

The cpupower Makefile built and installed libcpupower as a shared library (libcpupower.so) without passing `STATIC=true`, but did not build a static version of the library even with `STATIC=true`. (Only the programs were static). Thus, out-of-tree programs using libcpupower were unable to link statically against the library without having access to intermediate object files produced during the build. This fixes that situation by ensuring that libcpupower.a is built and installed when `STATIC=true` is specified.

tools/cpupower: Fix incorrect size in cpuidle_state_disable()

2025-09-24T23:15:35+00:00

Fix incorrect size parameter passed to cpuidle_state_write_file() in cpuidle_state_disable(). The function was incorrectly using sizeof(disable) which returns the size of the unsigned int variable (4 bytes) instead of the actual length of the string stored in the 'value' buffer. Since 'value' is populated with snprintf() to contain the string representation of the disable value, we should use the length returned by snprintf() to get the correct string length for writing to the sysfs file. This ensures the correct number of bytes is written to the cpuidle state disable file in sysfs.

Merge 6.17-rc6 into kbuild-next

2025-09-19T20:43:11+00:00

Commit bd7c2312128e ("pinctrl: meson: Fix typo in device table macro") is needed in kbuild-next to avoid a build error with a future change. While at it, address the conflict between commit 41f9049cff32 ("riscv: Only allow LTO with CMODEL_MEDANY") and commit 6578a1ff6aa4 ("riscv: Remove version check for LTO_CLANG selects"), as reported by Stephen Rothwell [1].

tools/cpupower: fix error return value in cpupower_write_sysfs()

2025-09-16T22:21:50+00:00

The cpupower_write_sysfs() function currently returns -1 on write failure, but the function signature indicates it should return an unsigned int. Returning -1 from an unsigned function results in a large positive value rather than indicating an error condition. Fix this by returning 0 on failure, which is more appropriate for an unsigned return type and maintains consistency with typical success/failure semantics where 0 indicates failure and non-zero indicates success (bytes written).

cpupower: Allow control of boost feature on non-x86 based systems with boost support.

2025-08-15T16:49:14+00:00

The cpufreq subsystem has a generic sysfs interface for controlling boost (/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost). The sysfs interface can be used to enable boost control from the cpupower command on non-x86 platforms as well. So, allow boost controlling on non-x86 system if boost sysfs file exists. The set subcommand enables/disables the boost feature using the following syntax: cpupower set --boost 1 cpupower set --boost 0 The --boost option is an alias for --turbo-boost. We provided the neutral option name because the name "turbo boost" is specific to Intel technology. The frequency-info subcommand displays the enabled/disabled state of the boost feature as follows: boost state support: Active: yes (or no) Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250522061122.2149188-3-fj5851bi@fujitsu.com Signed-off-by: Shinji Nomoto Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan

The set subcommand's -t option is documented as being available for boost configuration, but it was not actually functioning due to a bug in the option handling. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250522061122.2149188-2-fj5851bi@fujitsu.com Signed-off-by: Shinji Nomoto Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan

.gitignore: ignore compile_commands.json globally

2025-08-12T22:53:55+00:00

compile_commands.json can be used with clangd to enable language server protocol-based assistance. For kernel itself this can be built with scripts/gen_compile_commands.py, but other projects (e.g., libbpf, or BPF selftests) can benefit from their own compilation database file, which can be generated successfully using external tools, like bear [0]. So, instead of adding compile_commands.json to .gitignore in respective individual projects, let's just ignore it globally anywhere in Linux repo. While at it, remove exactly such a local .gitignore rule under tools/power/cpupower.
