+Subject: [PATCH] cpupower: Fix segfault due to incorrect getopt_long arugments
+
+If a user calls 'cpupower set --perf-bias 15', the process will end with a
+SIGSEGV in libc because cpupower-set passes a NULL optarg to the atoi call.
+This is because the getopt_long structure currently has all of the options
+as having an optional_argument when they really have a required argument.
+We change the structure to use required_argument to match the short options
+and it resolves the issue.
+
+This fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1000439
