phc-intel 0.3.2 and 0.4.0 + dkms for kernel 2.6.27 to 5.3

[teknohog]

Linux 3.16 was released, and the latest 15.1 patch for 3.15 did not quite work. It was a reasonably small change, so I patched that bit by hand. Here is my 0.4.0 patch for 3.16, posted from a machine running it

No need to update the pack as phc-intel-pack-rev16 is compatible with kernel 3.17.

I am a little confused... I use Ubuntu 14.04 with kernel 3.13.1, PHC rev 16, and I've read in several online tutorials that there is no need anymore to compile the kernel with the PHC module, only to install PHC and replace in the file /etc/default/grub the value:

Code: Select all

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash cpufreq_driver=phc-intel"

For example the following tutorial (German):
http://thinkwiki.de/PHC-Patch

However following the tutorial did not work for me, I am still getting nothing from:

Code: Select all

lsmod | grep phc

Is this tutorial correct? If so, what am I doing wrong?

What type of CPU do you have? What exactly did you do to make phc work? While you don't need to rebuild your own kernel on Ubuntu anymore, you still have to compile the phc-module itself and it has to be installed in the right place. How did you do it? With dkms? How do you load the module? What happens if you run 'modprobe phc-intel'?

I have two kernels installed: 3.14-0.bpo.2-686-pae (gcc-4.6) and 4.3-6.dmz.2-liquorix-686 (gcc-5). To build phc for the second one I have to edit Makefile "CC=gcc" to "CC=gcc-5", the first kernel phc build will fail, in such a way. Default Makefile will fail the second kernel phc build. Is it possible to get "phc-intel" build success for both kernels with such different gcc versions? Some kind of auto build in Makefile. The gcc-5 for precise is from here: http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-toolcha ... st/ubuntu/ works perfect in Wheezy.

If you don't use dkms but make; make install, you can just pass CC=gcc-5 as an argmument to make at the command line.

Is it possible to get "phc-intel" build success for both kernels with such different gcc versions?

In principle, yes. I may cook up something for the next release. Btw. what's the error message/log you get?

Make doesn't work too:

Make doesn't work too. I'm not able to post any code, it's recognized as a spam?
