For both the d and e options in 'cpupower idle_set' command, an atoi() conversion is done without checking if the input argument is all numeric. So, an atoi conversion is done on any character provided as input and the CPU idle_set operation continues with that integer value, which may not be what is intended or entirely correct. The output of cpuidle-set before patch is as follows: [root@xxx cpupower]# cpupower idle-set -e 1$ Idlestate 1 enabled on CPU 0 [snip] Idlestate 1 enabled on CPU 47 [root@xxx cpupower]# cpupower idle-set -e 11 Idlestate 11 not available on CPU 0 [snip] Idlestate 11 not available on CPU 47 [root@xxx cpupower]# cpupower idle-set -d 12 Idlestate 12 not available on CPU 0 [snip] Idlestate 12 not available on CPU 47 [root@xxx cpupower]# cpupower idle-set -d qw Idlestate 0 disabled on CPU 0 [snip] Idlestate 0 disabled on CPU 47 This patch adds a check for both d and e options in cpuidle-set.c to see that the idle_set value is all numeric before doing a string-to-int conversion using strtol(). The output of cpuidle-set after the patch is as below: [root@xxx cpupower]# ./cpupower idle-set -e 1$ Bad idle_set value: 1$. Integer expected [root@xxx cpupower]# ./cpupower idle-set -e 11 Idlestate 11 not available on CPU 0 [snip] Idlestate 11 not available on CPU 47 [root@xxx cpupower]# ./cpupower idle-set -d 12 Idlestate 12 not available on CPU 0 [snip] Idlestate 12 not available on CPU 47 [root@xxx cpupower]# ./cpupower idle-set -d qw Bad idle_set value: qw.

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.
