./sysutils/estd, Dynamically sets the CPU-frequency on SpeedStep and PowerNow CPUs

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 0.11nb4, Package name: estd-0.11nb4, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

The estd daemon dynamically sets the CPU-frequency on SpeedStep-,
PowerNow-, and ACPI P-States-enabled CPUs depending on current cpu-utilization.
It is written for systems running NetBSD or DragonFly.

Examples:

Maximize battery lifetime by limiting CPU-frequency to 1000 MHz and
switching to lower speeds fast:

estd -d -b -M 1000

Maximize performance by running at least at 1400MHz and switching to
higher speeds real fast:

estd -d -a -m 1400

Log message:
add support for SIGUSR1/SIGUSR2 to adjust frequency instead of strategy.

new -x means USR1 reduces the minimum and USR2 increases the minimum,
and new -X adjusts the maximum similarly.

-X is designed to allow the user to force the CPU into a lower speed
frequency, without having to restart estd entirely.  -x was added for
symmetry.

Log message:
various fixes for arm64 big endian support.

most of these simply extend matching from "aarch64" to \ 
"aarch64eb"
in various forms of code.  most remaining uses in pkgsrc of
"MACHINE_ARCH == aarch64" are because of missing aarch64eb support,
such as most of the binary-bootstrap requiring languages like rust,
go, and java.

no pkg-bump because this shouldn't change packages on systems that
could already build all of these.

Log message:
all: replace SUBST_SED with the simpler SUBST_VARS

pkglint -Wall -r --only "substitution command" -F

With manual review and indentation fixes since pkglint doesn't get that
part correct in every case.
