| Summary: A Linux Tool to Find out What is Using Power on a Laptop | |
PowerTOP is a program that collects the various pieces of information from your system and presents an overview of how well your laptop is doing in terms of power savings.
GPL-2.0-only
* Thu Aug 13 2026 Michael Vetter <jubalh@iodoru.org>
- Migrate from automake to meson
- Move binary manually to sbin to keep it like we have it since a long time
- Add BuildRequires: pkgconfig(bash-completion) to resolve proper completion
directory paths
- Remove shebang from bash-completion script
- Declare /var/cache/powertop and files as %ghost
- Enable unit tests
- Drop powertop-2.16-fix-missing-sources.patch: sources in meson are complete
* Mon Aug 10 2026 Michael Vetter <mvetter@suse.com>
- Update to 2.16:
* The following sysfs tunables have been added:
+ VM dirty ratio /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio 50
+ Transparent hugepage scan sleep /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/scan_sleep_millisecs 30000
+ Framebuffer cursor blink /sys/devices/virtual/graphics/fbcon/cursor_blink 0
+ KSM sleep interval /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/sleep_millisecs 4000
+ KSM batch size /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_to_scan 1000
+ Autogroup scheduling /proc/sys/kernel/sched_autogroup_enabled 0
+ Intel P-state minimum performance /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/min_perf_pct 50
+ Network default qdisc /proc/sys/net/core/default_qdisc fq
+ Intel ITMT (Turbo Boost Max 3.0) /proc/sys/kernel/sched_itmt_enabled 1
+ Intel energy performance bias /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/power/energy_perf_bias balance-performance
+ Intel energy performance preference
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy*/energy_performance_preference balance_performance
+ Intel Xe GPU power profile /sys/class/drm/card*/device/tile*/gt*/freq0/power_profile power_saving
+ Enable Audio codec power management /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save 1
+ AMD GPU panel power savings /sys/class/drm/*/amdgpu/panel_power_savings 2
* Wildcard sysfs paths (e.g. cpu*) are now handled natively
* GPU tab (Intel Xe): progress bar scale now always shows the true maximum
value right-aligned, suppressing any overlapping tick label
* GPU tab: frequency bars now start at 0 instead of the hardware minimum,
giving a correct visual baseline
* GPU tab: replaced > / < policy markers with a four-segment colour bar (bold
green = floor, green = active, yellow = headroom, dim = beyond policy)
* GPU tab: C0/C6 idle bars merged into a single two-colour bar (red =
busy/C0, bright green = idle/C6) since C0 is derived from C6
* GPU tab: active xe power profile displayed on the Power Overview section
* GPU tab: only shown on systems with Intel Xe GPU and xe hwmon present
* CPU Frequency Stats tab: redesigned with progress bars, corrected bar width
and spacing, and fixed C0 active column misalignment in Idle stats
* CPU Frequency Stats tab: empty cores are skipped in display
* Show "Preparing to take measurements" message during the initial one-second
measurement so the screen is no longer blank at startup
* Vertical scrollbar added to tab content panes
* Scroll-down capped at content extent to prevent over-scrolling
* Terminal resize (KEY_RESIZE / SIGWINCH) now handled correctly while PowerTOP is running
* Notification system redesigned to use the status bar instead of overlaying content
* Tab bar and bottom line now correctly fill the full terminal width
* HTML and CSV output: fixed escaping and i18n issues
* Markdown report output format added (--output=file.md)
* --calibrate: display power control now uses sysfs DRM DPMS directly,
falling back to xset only if needed — works on X11, Wayland, and headless
* Fixed three memory leaks found by Valgrind (power meters, tuning window, wakeup tab window)
* Fixed double-free in devfreq cleanup
* Fixed sysfs residency overflow in Intel GPU reporting
* Fixed RAPL division-by-zero and improved error handling
* Fixed Bluetooth byte-counter logic and removed deprecated tooling
* Added near-zero division guards for AHCI, ALSA, and RAPL power calculations
* Fixed --batch mode numeric safety and i18n issues
* Fixed halfdelay timeout clamping to valid ncurses range
* Fixed null pointer dereference when accessing first CPU in some configs
* Fixed potential memory leak in GPU handler initialisation
* 17 previously missing source files added to translation coverage
* All .po files regenerated; format-specifier changes (%s → {}) applied
mechanically across all 11 languages
* --once: take a single measurement and exit
* --auto-tune-dump: run auto-tune and dump results without interactive display
