Summary0001256: intel speed select tool is not supported in elrepo kernel packages
DescriptionI'd like to use the Intel Speed Select tool (SST) on a Linux kernel > 5.6. It seems my current kernel v. 5.18.12-1.el8.elrepo.x86_64 has not been configured to support the tool. The Red Hat's kernel v. 4.19 has this support enabled and it works on my system, however, the newer kernel versions 5.x for my OS version from Elrepo seem to not have this configured.

$ uname -r
5.18.12-1.el8.elrepo.x86_64

$ intel-speed-select -h
Intel(R) Speed Select Technology
Executing on CPU model:106[0x6a]
Intel speed select drivers are not loaded on this system.
Verify that kernel config includes CONFIG_INTEL_SPEED_SELECT_INTERFACE.
If the config is included then this is not a supported platform.

$ cat /boot/config-$(uname -r) | grep SPEED_SELECT
# CONFIG_INTEL_SPEED_SELECT_INTERFACE is not set

Upon checking the master kernel configuration files, I see --

[kernels]$ grep -r 'CONFIG_INTEL_SPEED_SELECT_INTERFACE' * | grep -E '5\.19\.5|5\.4\.211|6\.0\.0'
el7/config-6.0/config-6.0.0-x86_64:CONFIG_INTEL_SPEED_SELECT_INTERFACE=m
el7/config-5.4/config-5.4.211-x86_64:# CONFIG_INTEL_SPEED_SELECT_INTERFACE is not set
el7/config-5.19/config-5.19.5-x86_64:CONFIG_INTEL_SPEED_SELECT_INTERFACE=m
el8/config-6.0/config-6.0.0-x86_64:# CONFIG_INTEL_SPEED_SELECT_INTERFACE is not set
el8/config-5.4/config-5.4.211-x86_64:# CONFIG_INTEL_SPEED_SELECT_INTERFACE is not set
el8/config-5.19/config-5.19.5-x86_64:# CONFIG_INTEL_SPEED_SELECT_INTERFACE is not set
[kernels]$

I have, accordingly, queued the addition of the "CONFIG_INTEL_SPEED_SELECT_INTERFACE=m" option for those kernels that are currently deficient.

Hi,

I checked out the kernel v. 5.19.5-1.el8.elrepo today, but that config is still not set.
When will the el8 kernels have this config enabled?

@1315

As @burakkucat noted, the addition was *queued*, which means that the change will be made in the next kernel update.

I wondered what "queued" means, thank you @toracat.
The question then, when is the next kernel update/release going to be?

Yes, unfortunately we just missed getting this change done for the 5.19.5 release, so most likely when ever upstream release 5.19.6.

The recently released kernel-ml-5.19.6-1.el8.elrepo package set [1] has the requested configuration option set.

Now closing as "resolved/fixed".
