If a user calls 'cpupower set --perf-bias 15', the process will end with a SIGSEGV in libc because cpupower-set passes a NULL optarg to the atoi call. This is because the getopt_long structure currently has all of the options as having an optional_argument when they really have a required argument. We change the structure to use required_argument to match the short options and it resolves the issue.

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.
