Public bug reported:

== Description ==

As part of the Kobuk engagement, Intel has requested us to update lpmd to 
v0.0.5. As v0.0.6
is already out, I am filing a FFe for that version.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/intel-lpmd/+bug/2076286

== Changelog ==

The upstream intel-lpmd repository available on Github 
(https://github.com/intel/intel-lpmd)
doesn't provide a proper CHANGELOG or NEWS file, so I attached the git log 
v0.0.3..v0.0.6
output in this bug.

Besides internal changes and code cleanups, the major improvements seemed to 
happen in
v0.0.4, which has the following changes:

    1. Enhance HFI monitor so that it can handle back-to-back HFI LPM          
       hints. Previously it only handles first HFI LPM hints and ignore        
       the subsequential HFI LPM hints until it exits Low Power mode.           
                                                                               
                                                                               
    2. Enhance HFI monitor to handle HFI hints for banned CPUs.                
                                                                               
    3. Introduce support for multiple Low Power states.                        
       With this, intel_lpmd can define multiple Low Power states that     
       have different requirements for EPP/EPB/ITMT setting, IRQ migration,
       and task migration. And enter different Low Power state based on        
       different utilization threshold.                                        
                                                                               
    4. Introduce support for work load type hint.                              
       Intel firmware is able to predict workload type and expose this hint    
       to userspace. Add support to define Low Power states and switch         
       between them based on workload type hint.                               
                                                                               
    5. Allow change EPP during Low Power modes transition.                     
                                                                               
    6. Minor fixes and cleanups. 

== Testing impact ==

The v0.0.6 package was built on my PPA and the build logs (attached) were 
collected from it
https://launchpad.net/~phckopper/+archive/ubuntu/dev/+sourcepub/16441578/+listing-archive-extra
Installation logs on Noble are also attached. Functional testing was performed 
by Intel. As no
other package depends on it, this should not cause any chain effects.
