Since these two options are not being used by any other architecture except x86, I suggest these options should not even be shown for other architecture. So we can do something like this in cpupower.c : static struct cmd_struct commands[] = { ............. +#if defined (__x86_64__) || defined (__i386__) { "set", cmd_set, 1 }, { "info", cmd_info, 0 }, +#endif ..............

No, I expected you to add something meaningful for Power case... Just kidding. If this works without any side-effects in not x86 case, this approach seem to be the best solution for now. Thanks.

For examle there has been (see changelog): cpupower: Remove mc and smt power aware scheduler info/settings These kernel interfaces got removed by: Unfortunately only -b (perf bias on Intel only) is left right now. So if you cut this out for Power you do not see anything and the cmd is useless. Which is a pity, but for now makes sense. Ideally you provide some tag/option which makes sense on power (e.g. whether run in OPAL mode and if provide some figures otherwise tell running in VM mode). But if this is cut out something like this should do the same and is more flexible: - Still allows additional cpupower info features for other CPUs later easily - Should also cover AMD or other non-perf bias supporting CPUs to exclude perf_bias setting/info If this one works for you, can you please re-submit with also handling the set cmd similar. If it works or you only slightly adjust, feel free to already add: Acked-by: Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> Thanks!
