Commitae2917093f("tools/power/cpupower: Display boost frequency separately") modified the library function: struct cpufreq_available_frequencies *cpufreq_get_available_frequencies(unsigned int cpu) to struct cpufreq_frequencies *cpufreq_get_frequencies(const char *type, unsigned int cpu) This patch recovers the old API and implements the new functionality in a newly introduce method: struct cpufreq_boost_frequencies *cpufreq_get_available_frequencies(unsigned int cpu) This one should get merged into stable kernels back to 5.0 when the above had been introduced.

The cpupower package 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).
libcpupower
----------
"libcpupower" 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 libcpupower to put in
/usr/lib; cpupower, cpufreq-bench_plot.sh to put in /usr/bin; and
cpufreq-bench to put in /usr/sbin. 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 cpupower;
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
cpupower.
