I am using pstate-frequency to set our server cpu's frequency. This tool needs the x86_energy_perf_policy which is provided by the linux-tools-common package.

Using the distributions standard kernel I could simply install linux-tools-common_4.4.0-18.34_all and I am done.

Unfortunately, I use Linux kernel 4.7.0-040700 from the official Ubuntu Kernel PPA.

How can I get linux-tools-4.7.0-040700-generic on our server? Most likely I need to build it, where can I find the files?

System used:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
Release:        16.04
Codename:       xenial
Kernel:         4.7.0-040700-generic

possibly a dumb question but what happens if you try the 4.4.0 linux-tools on the newer kernel? – warsong Aug 20 '16 at 19:17
Does not work sadly :( But yeah was my first thought too! – Flatron Aug 20 '16 at 20:02
