Prarit Bhargava prarit@redhat.com cpupower: Fix coredump on VMWare
Greg, maybe...
commit ef8d3a128c1f1de7ffdedb2f14e846e10fd3fec3 Author: Prarit Bhargava prarit@redhat.com Date: Mon Oct 8 12:06:19 2018
cpupower: Fix coredump on VMWare [ Upstream commit f69ffc5d3db8f1f03fd6d1df5930f9a1fbd787b6 ]should be dropped from v4.9 (and v4.4) since it causes:
$ make V=1 -C tools/power/cpupower all
gcc -fPIC -DVERSION="4.9.136.142.g36c7703" -DPACKAGE="cpupower" -DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT="linux-pm@vger.kernel.org" -D_GNU_SOURCE -pipe -DNLS -Wall -Wchar-subscripts -Wpointer-arith -Wsign-compare -Wno-pointer-sign -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wshadow -O1 -g -DDEBUG -I./lib -I ./utils -o utils/helpers/amd.o -c utils/helpers/amd.c utils/helpers/amd.c: In function ‘decode_pstates’: utils/helpers/amd.c:106:39: error: ‘union msr_pstate’ has no member named ‘fam17h_bits’ if ((cpu_family == 0x17) && (!pstate.fam17h_bits.en))
Due to nonexistent CPU (flag) support.
Replied to Sasha on specific commits for both, v4.4 and v4.9.
Now dropped from both queues.
