RHBA-2014:2015 - cpufrequtils bug fix update

Synopsis

cpufrequtils bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated cpufrequtils packages that fix one bug and add one enhancement are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The cpufrequtils packages contain utilities that can be used to control the cpufreq interface provided by the kernel on hardware that supports CPU frequency scaling.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, the debug options in the package build scripts were disabled. Consequently, the debuginfo packages were not generated for the cpufrequtils utility. With this update, the debug options in the build scripts have been enabled, and debuginfo options are now available for cpufrequtils binary files. (BZ#728999)

In addition, this update adds the following enhancement:

  • Prior to this update, the cpufreq-aperf utility was missing man pages. To provide the user with more information on cpufreq-aperf, the man pages have been added. (BZ#730304)

Users of cpufrequtils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug and add this enhancement.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258
