Chapter 14.6: PACKAGE LEVEL THERMAL MANAGEMENT
|
||||
|
||||
Description
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
This driver register CPU digital temperature package level sensor as a thermal
|
||||
zone with maximum two user mode configurable trip points. Number of trip points
|
||||
depends on the capability of the package. Once the trip point is violated,
|
||||
user mode can receive notification via thermal notification mechanism and can
|
||||
take any action to control temperature.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Threshold management
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
Each package will register as a thermal zone under /sys/class/thermal.
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone1
|
||||
|
||||
This contains two trip points:
|
||||
- trip_point_0_temp
|
||||
- trip_point_1_temp
|
||||
|
||||
User can set any temperature between 0 to TJ-Max temperature. Temperature units
|
||||
are in milli-degree Celsius. Refer to "Documentation/thermal/sysfs-api.txt" for
|
||||
thermal sys-fs details.
|
||||
|
||||
Any value other than 0 in these trip points, can trigger thermal notifications.
|
||||
Setting 0, stops sending thermal notifications.
|
||||
|
||||
Thermal notifications: To get kobject-uevent notifications, set the thermal zone
|
||||
policy to "user_space". For example: echo -n "user_space" > policy
