[el5_latest] cpuspeed-1:1.2.1-11.0.1.el5_10.i386

cpuspeed is a daemon that dynamically changes the speed
of your processor(s) depending upon its current workload
if it is capable (needs Intel Speedstep, AMD PowerNow!,
or similar support).

This package also supports enabling cpu frequency scaling
via in-kernel governors on Intel Centrino and AMD
Athlon64/Opteron platforms.

• Fri Apr 11 2014 Natalya Naumova <natalya.naumova@oracle.com> 1.2.1-11.0.1

  - cpuspeed.init: delete line of setting scaling_max_freq to fix p-state
    stuck. (Ethan Zhao)[Orabug: 17181067]

• Tue Mar 08 2011 Petr Sabata <psabata@redhat.com> 1.2.1-10

  - Initscript changed to reset to default values if no minimal or maximal
    CPU speed is defined in configuration
  - Resolves: rhbz#616524

• Fri Nov 20 2009 Jarod Wilson <jarod@redhat.com> 1.2.1-9

  - Start cpuspeed after syslog on boot so its messages are logged (#516244)
  - Don't load acpi-cpufreq by default on Intel 7100 series processors,
    due to a hardware bug that can lead to a lockup (#449004)
  - Minor initscript exit status fixups (#495049)

• Fri May 01 2009 Jarod Wilson <jarod@redhat.com> 1.2.1-8

  - Revert fixes for #488924, they unfortunately lead to cpuspeed
    never starting on boot on xen kernels, since cpuspeed starts
    before xend (#498406)

• Tue Mar 31 2009 Jarod Wilson <jarod@redhat.com> 1.2.1-7

  - Handle case under kernel-xen where xm is unavailable and/or

• Fri Mar 20 2009 Jarod Wilson <jarod@redhat.com> 1.2.1-6

  - Don't try loading speedstep-centrino if acpi-cpufreq already
    successfully loaded, it causes p-state issues (#485480)
  - If we're running on a Xen kernel and the number of virtual cpus
    doesn't match the number of physical cpus, we could end up
    scaling the wrong physical cpu due to migration, so in the
    vcpus != pcpus case, don't do freq scaling (#488924)

• Thu Sep 25 2008 Jarod Wilson <jarod@redhat.com> 1.2.1-5

  - Support for speedstep-centrino module fallback if
