cpupower: do not install files to /etc/default/

2025-05-13T22:06:28Z

Improve the installation procedure for the systemd service unit 'cpupower.service', to be more distro-agnostic. Do not install the service unit configuration file to /etc/default/ (a directory that is used by Debian and Debian-derivatives and only rarely by other distros). Also, clarify the role of the configuration file in its own comments.

cpupower: do not call systemctl at install time

2025-05-13T22:06:22Z

Fix the installation procedure for the systemd service unit 'cpupower.service'. Do not call "systemctl daemon-reload" in the Makefile, but explain when this command should be manually issued in the README file.

cpupower: add a systemd service to run cpupower

2025-05-02T19:52:45Z

One of the most typical use cases of the 'cpupower' utility works as follows: run 'cpupower' at boot with the desired command-line options and then forget about it. Add a systemd service (disabled by default) that automates this use case (for environments where the initialization system is 'systemd'), by running 'cpupower' at boot with the settings read from a default configuration file. The systemd service, the associated support script and the corresponding default configuration file are derived from what is provided by the Arch Linux package (under "GPL-2.0-or-later" terms), modernized and enhanced in various ways (the script has also been checked with 'shellcheck').

cpupowerutils - cpufrequtils extended with quite some features

2011-07-29T16:35:36Z

CPU power consumption vs performance tuning is no longer limited to CPU frequency switching anymore: deep sleep states, traditional dynamic frequency scaling and hidden turbo/boost frequencies are tied close together and depend on each other. The first two exist on different architectures like PPC, Itanium and ARM, the latter (so far) only on X86. On X86 the APU (CPU+GPU) will only run most efficiently if CPU and GPU has proper power management in place. Users and Developers want to have *one* tool to get an overview what their system supports and to monitor and debug CPU power management in detail. The tool should compile and work on as many architectures as possible. Once this tool stabilizes a bit, it is intended to replace the Intel-specific tools in tools/power/x86 Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski
