perf is a tool suite for profiling using hardware performance counters, with support in the Linux kernel. perf can instrument CPU performance counters, tracepoints, kprobes, and uprobes (dynamic tracing). It is capable of lightweight profiling. This package contains the user-land tools and in particular the perf command.

Turbostat reports x86 processor topology, frequency, idle power state statistics, temperature, and power consumption. Some information is unavailable on older processors.

It can be used to identify machines that are inefficient in terms of power usage or idle time, report the rate of SMIs occurring on the system, or verify the effects of power management tuning.

turbostat reads hardware counters but doesn't write to them, so it won't interfere with the OS or other running processes---including multiple invocations of itself.

The reform2_lpc module allows for interaction with the NXP LPC11U24 Cortex-M0 MCU system controller in the Reform 2 open hardware laptop. It provides battery status information and is necessary to completely shut down the system when powering it off via userspace.

Libnftnl is a userspace library providing a low-level netlink programming interface to the in-kernel nf_tables subsystem. The library libnftnl has been previously known as libnftables. This library is currently used by nftables.

The EVDI is a Linux kernel module that enables management of multiple screens, allowing user-space programs to take control over what happens with the image. It is essentially a virtual display for which applications using the libevdi library can add, remove, and receive screen updates.

The EVDI driver uses the standard Linux DRM. Its displays can be controlled by standard tools such as xrandr and display settings applets in graphical environments

The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) provides audio and MIDI functionality to the Linux-based operating system.

acpi attempts to replicate the functionality of the "old" apm command on ACPI systems, including battery and thermal information. It does not support ACPI suspending, only displays information about ACPI devices.

The CRDA acts as the udev helper for communication between the kernel Linux and user space for regulatory compliance.

This package provides hardware definitions and C headers for use by the Linux driver and by user-space applications for the Cassini/Slingshot high-speed network interconnect made by HPE (formerly Cray). User-land software uses cxi_prov_hw.h from this package.

ltrace intercepts and records dynamic library calls which are called by an executed process and the signals received by that process. It can also intercept and print the system calls executed by the program.

Cramfs is a Linux file system designed to be simple, small, and to compress things well. It is used on a number of embedded systems and small devices. This version has additional features such as uncompressed blocks and random block placement.

Linux kernel patches and device-trees used for the MNT Reform systems

This is the Linux driver for the Cray/HPE Cassini 1 and 2 high-speed network interconnect (aka. Slingshot), and its Ethernet driver. It includes the uapi/misc/cxi.h C header file for use by user-land software.

Currently the Linux driver itself is missing from this package.

This package provides the kexec program and ancillary utilities. Using kexec, it is possible to boot directly into a new kernel from the context of an already-running kernel, bypassing the normal system boot process.

kernel-hardening-checker is a tool for checking the security hardening options of the Linux kernel. Provided preferences are based on suggestions from various sources, including:

• KSPP recommended settings

• CLIP OS kernel configuration

• Last public grsecurity patch (options which they disable)

• SECURITY_LOCKDOWN_LSM patchset

• Direct feedback from the Linux kernel maintainers

This tool supports checking Kconfig options and kernel cmdline parameters.

rfkill is a simple tool for accessing the rfkill device interface, which is used to enable and disable wireless networking devices, typically WLAN, Bluetooth and mobile broadband.

This package provides tools for manipulating ext2/ext3/ext4 file systems.

libnetfilter_cttimeout is the userspace library that provides the programming interface to the fine-grain connection tracking timeout infrastructure. With this library, you can create, update and delete timeout policies that can be attached to traffic flows. This library is used by conntrack-tools.

GNU Linux-Libre is a free (as in freedom) variant of the Linux kernel. It has been modified to remove all non-free binary blobs.

BCC is a toolkit for creating efficient kernel tracing and manipulation programs, and includes several useful tools and examples. It makes use of extended BPF (Berkeley Packet Filters), formally known as eBPF, a new feature that was first added to Linux 3.15. Much of what BCC uses requires Linux 4.1 and above.

ddate displays the Discordian date and holidays of a given date. The Discordian calendar was made popular by the "Illuminatus!" trilogy by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson.

This package provides boltd, a userspace daemon for Thunderbolt devices, and boltctl, a command-line utility for managing those devices.

The daemon boltd exposes devices via D-Bus to clients. It also stores a database of previously authorized devices and will, depending on the policy set for the individual devices, automatically authorize newly connected devices without user interaction.

The command-line utility boltctl manages Thunderbolt devices via boltd. It can list devices, monitor changes, and initiate authorization of devices.

GNU Linux-Libre is a free (as in freedom) variant of the Linux kernel. It has been modified to remove all non-free binary blobs.

This package contains Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Use Case Manager configuration of audio input/output names and routing for specific audio hardware.
