The cpu_info member of cpupower_topology was being declared as an unnamed structure. This member was then being malloced using the size of the parent cpupower_topology * the number of cpus. This works because cpu_info is smaller than cpupower_topology. However, there is no guarantee that will always be the case. Making cpu_info its own top level structure (named cpuid_core_info) allows for mallocing the actual size of this structure. This also lets us get rid of a redefinition of the structure in topology.c with slightly different field names.

The cpufrequtils package (homepage:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/cpufreq/cpufrequtils.html )
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).
libcpufreq
----------
"libcpufreq" 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 default libcpufreq,
cpufreq-set and cpufreq-info files and installs them in /usr/lib and
/usr/bin, respectively. 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 cpufrequtils;
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
cpufrequtils.
