Prarit Bhargava d4dbfa4bb4 tools/power/cpupower: Add 64 bit library detection
The kernel-tools-lib rpm is installing the library to /usr/lib64, and not
/usr/lib as the cpupower Makefile is doing in the kernel tree.  This
resulted in a conflict between the two libraries.  After looking at how
other tools installed libraries, and looking at the perf code in
tools/perf it looks like installing to /usr/lib64 for 64-bit arches is the
correct thing to do.

Checks with 'ldd cpupower' on SLES, RHEL, Fedora, and Ubuntu result in
the correct binary AFAICT:

[root@testsystem cpupower]# ldd cpupower | grep cpupower
        libcpupower.so.0 => /lib64/libcpupower.so.0 (0x00007f1dab447000)

Commit ac5a181d06 ("cpupower: Add cpuidle parts into library") added a
new cpupower library version.  On Fedora, executing the cpupower binary
then resulted in this error

[root@testsystem cpupower]# ./cpupower monitor
./cpupower: symbol lookup error: ./cpupower: undefined symbol:
get_cpu_topology

64-bit libraries should be installed to /usr/lib64, and other libraries
should be installed to /usr/lib.

This code was taken from the perf Makefile.config which supports /usr/lib
and /usr/lib64.

The cpupower package consists of the following elements:

requirements
------------

On x86 pciutils is needed at runtime (-lpci).
For compilation pciutils-devel (pci/pci.h) and a gcc version
providing cpuid.h is needed.
For both it's not explicitly checked for (yet).


libcpupower
----------

"libcpupower" is a library which offers a unified access method for userspace
tools and programs to the cpufreq core and drivers in the Linux kernel. This
allows for code reduction in userspace tools, a clean implementation of
the interaction to the cpufreq core, and support for both the sysfs and proc
interfaces [depending on configuration, see below].


compilation and installation
----------------------------

make
su
make install

should suffice on most systems. It builds libcpupower to put in
/usr/lib; cpupower, cpufreq-bench_plot.sh to put in /usr/bin; and
cpufreq-bench to put in /usr/sbin. If you want to set up the paths
differently and/or want to configure the package to your specific
needs, you need to open "Makefile" with an editor of your choice and
edit the block marked CONFIGURATION.


THANKS
------
Many thanks to Mattia Dongili who wrote the autotoolization and
libtoolization, the manpages and the italian language file for cpupower;
to Dave Jones for his feedback and his dump_psb tool; to Bruno Ducrot for his
powernow-k8-decode and intel_gsic tools as well as the french language file;
and to various others commenting on the previous (pre-)releases of 
cpupower.
