	The intel_pstate_tracer.py script only needs to be run as root when it is also used to actually acquire the trace data that it will post process. Otherwise it is generally preferable that it be run as a regular user. If run the first time as root the results directory will be incorrect for any subsequent run as a regular user. For any run as root the specific testname subdirectory will not allow any subsequent file saves by a regular user. Typically, and for example, the regular user might be attempting to save a .csv file converted to a spreadsheet with added calculations or graphs. Set the directories and files owner and groups IDs to be the regular user, if required.

2017-02-16	tools/power/x86: Debug utility for intel_pstate driver	Doug Smythies
	This utility can be used to debug and tune the performance of the intel_pstate driver. This utility can be used in two ways: - If there is Linux trace file with pstate_sample events enabled, then this utility can parse the trace file and generate performance plots. - If user has not specified a trace file as input via command line parameters, then this utility enables and collects trace data for a user-specified interval and generates performance plots.
