Intel® Platform Monitoring Technology Backports

This repo holds backports of the pmt driver.

The driver is provided as a DKMS module targeting distinct versions of various distros. Each backport is on a topic branch. Current support status is documented on the topic branch.

Branching and tagging strategy

We will no longer update branches and add tags for specific operating systems. At the moment, the driver can be built for all supported operating systems from the branches listed below. For each branch there will be created corresponding release tag with the branch name suffix.

• main

  • SLES 15SP4
  • Ubuntu 20.04 (kernel 5.15)
  • Ubuntu 22.04 (kernel 5.17)
  • RHEL 8.6

• legacy

  • SLES 15SP3

Dependencies

This driver is part of a collection of kernel mode drivers that together enable support for Intel graphics. The backports collection within https://github.com/intel-gpu includes:

• i915 - The main graphics driver (includes a compatible DRM subsystem and dmabuf if necessary).
• cse - Converged Security Engine
• pmt - Intel Platform Telemetry
• firmware - Contains firmware required by i915.

Each project is tagged consistently so when pulling these repos pull the same tag.

How to generate the DKMS module

Ubuntu

Install dependencies:

NOTE: replace linux-headers with headers specific to your kernel as needed.

sudo apt install \
    dkms \
    make \
    linux-headers-5.14.0-1034-oem

Create debian package:

export OS_TYPE=ubuntu_20.04
BUILD_VERSION=1 make -f Makefile.dkms dkmsdeb-pkg

Install dkms deb package:

sudo dpkg -i intel-platform-pmt-dkms-*.deb

SLES

Install dependencies:

sudo zypper install \
   dkms \
   make \
   linux-glibc-devel \
   lsb-release \
   rpm-build

Build and install dkms package

export OS_TYPE=sles
export OS_VERSION=15sp4
BUILD_VERSION=1 make -f Makefile.dkms dkmsrpm-pkg

The resulting rpm package will be located in: /usr/src/packages/RPMS/x86_64/

Install with:

sudo zypper install --allow-unsigned-rpm \
    /usr/src/packages/RPMS/x86_64/intel-platform-pmt-dkms-*.rpm

RHEL

Install dependencies:

Install packages

sudo dnf install \
   git \
   kernel-headers \
   make \
   rpm-build

Install dkms subsystem support:

git clone https://github.com/dell/dkms dkms
cd dkms
make install-redhat

Build and install dkms package

export OS_TYPE=rhel_8
export OS_VERSION="8.6"
BUILD_VERSION=1 make -f Makefile.dkms dkmsrpm-pkg

The rpm package will be placed in $HOME/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64. For example:

/home/user/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/intel-platform-pmt-dkms-2022.7-1.x86_64.rpm

To install, run:

cp $HOME/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/*.rpm .
sudo dnf install intel-platform-pmt-dkms*.rpm

How to generate the binary package

SLES 15SP4

Install dependencies:

sudo zypper install \
   make \
   linux-glibc-devel \
   lsb-release \
   rpm-build

Build and install dkms package

export OS_TYPE=sles
export OS_VERSION=15sp4
make -f Makefile.dkms BUILD_VERSION=1 binrpm-pkg

The rpm package will be placed in $HOME/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/. For example:

/home/user/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/intel-platform-vsec-kmp-default-2022.46.1_k5.14.21_150400.24.21-1.x86_64.rpm

Install with:

cp $HOME/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/intel-platform-vsec*.rpm .
sudo rpm -ivh intel-platform-vsec*.rpm
