Debian/Ubuntu builds don't generate linux-tools packages #624

Open ferrreo opened 1 year ago

ferrreo commented 1 year ago

Hi,

Working great generally but the debian/ubuntu builds don't generate the linux-tools package/.deb so tools like cpupower and turbostat don't work.

Any chance this could be added?

Thanks

Out of tree modules should build just fine through dkms (like Nvidia).

can you give what cpupower complains about? Maybe it's a Deb package that has hard coded dependency on the package name you are talking about.

WARNING: cpupower not found for kernel 6.0.0-tkg

cpupower is part of the kernel code in the /tools folder of the kernel source it's not out of tree.

On debian/ubuntu it is usually installed via the linux-tools package (e.g linux-tools-5.19.0-19)

It should get generated as part of the kernel build but I presume tkg is missing something that debian/ubuntu normally does to generate this.

I mixed it up with zenpower, so it's simply a kernel module, or is it supposed to be built-in? okay, something is definitely off because it should be built and installed, are you using modprobed-db by any chance ?

On debian/ubuntu it is usually installed via the linux-tools package (e.g linux-tools-5.19.0-19)

For tkg, modules aren't split into different packages and the main package should contain everything.

They are not modules but user-space tools included with the kernel source, that's why they get packaged in a separate package.

See: https://www.mankier.com/package/kernel-tools for docs on the tools as kernel.org seems to be missing the docs.

Okay I understand, and the package kernel-tools is tied to the specific kernel version I assume (which makes sense).

Edit: Could you find the script Ubuntu uses to generate the package ? Maybe we can just use that.
