Package: msr-tools
Version: 1.3-4
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where
appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
Intel no longer supports msr-tools project and the last published release is
1.3 (which is the one used by debian). This version does not allow to
use more
than 256 cpus.
But there is a patch merged to msr-tools that increased max cpus beyond
the 256
cpus limit. Unfortunately no new releases were made afterwards and
debian has
been using msr-tools's version where 256 is still the limit.
This is the merged pull request not included on 1.3 release:
https://github.com/intel/msr-tools/pull/3
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
msr-tools cannot access cpus beyond the 256 limit (e.g. rdmsr -p 260 0x1)
* What was the outcome of this action?
it returns error
* What outcome did you expect instead?
it should return the value of MSR 0x1 on processor 260 insted.
