way to close to the end of 6.7 for this, needs to wait for 6.8

But this is a regression - shouldn't this get fixed sooner?

Ivybridge is also broken (Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E7-4860 v2 @ 2.60GHz).

Here's what I get with 1.2-5:

turbostat was rebased to latest upstream, which includes this patch:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/tools/power/x86/turbostat/turbostat.c?id=1cc21f7b6b747220c29b42cfd1c84b5648d12407

Use --debug to get the old output formatting back.

Well, I certainly didn't expect this change, but I actually can see his reasoning.  If there is an expectation of more c-states than can be visually interpreted reasonably on a console, then it makes sense to hide them, as showing them doesn't do any good anyway.  If you want to provide a filter so that you can only see the c-states that might interest you, that makes good sense, but such functionality already exists with:

turbostat --debug | awk '/regex for rows/ { print $interestingc-state}'

So you don't really need to re-invent that wheel.


I presume adding --debug does in fact bring the c-state output back in RHEL6?

Adding "--debug" does bring the c-state output back.

The '--debug' does revert to the old behavior and is being used as a workaround by my customer.

In that case this is NOTABUG
