This utility is built from Linux kernel sources. [Fix] Apply the patch "UBUNTU: [Packaging] Add intel-speed-select to linux-tools" from Resolute that builds and packages the intel-speed-select binary in a binary packaged named $(SRCPKG)-tools-$(ABIVER) under /usr/lib/$(SRCPKG)-tools-$(ABIVER). This applies only to Ubuntu kernel builds where do_tools_x86 is true. This patch is to be applied to Questing and Noble. It is a clean cherry pick to Questing, and a backport to Noble. It is already present in Resolute and newer. [Test Plan] 1. Build the generic kernel with this patch applied. 2. Verify the only additional file is the intel-speed-select utility: $ debdiff linux-tools-6.17.0-29.29_6.17.0-29.29_amd64.deb linux- tools-6.17.0-1029.29_6.17.0-1029.29_amd64.deb 3. Run intel-speed-select, verify the output is as expected. $ sudo /usr/lib/linux-tools-6.17.0-1030/intel-speed-select turbo-freq info -l 0 Intel(R) Speed Select Technology Executing on CPU model:173[0xad] Caching topology information package-0 die-0 powerdomain-0 cpu-0 speed-select-turbo-freq-properties bucket-0 high-priority-cores-count:24 high-priority-max-level-0-frequency(MHz):3900 high-priority-max-level-1-frequency(MHz):3900 ... [Where problems could occur] Any possible issues would likely affect the kernel tools packaging. The risk of regression is low, as this patch only adds a single binary to the $(SRCPKG)-tools-$(ABIVER) binary package. No wrapper scripts are added or modified. intel-speed-select can hep sysadmin on various cpu perf/freq related decission. Adding this to linux-tool would be very useful. https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/pm/intel-speed-select.html To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2131077/+subscriptions
