19-----------
Durgadoss R199e0de2011-05-20 01:29:35 +053020This driver permits reading the DTS (Digital Temperature Sensor) embedded
21inside Intel CPUs. This driver can read both the per-core and per-package
22temperature using the appropriate sensors. The per-package sensor is new;
23as of now, it is present only in the SandyBridge platform. The driver will
24show the temperature of all cores inside a package under a single device
25directory inside hwmon.

Rudolf Marekd58ee0562007-05-08 17:22:02 +020027Temperature is measured in degrees Celsius and measurement resolution is
281 degree C. Valid temperatures are from 0 to TjMax degrees C, because
29the actual value of temperature register is in fact a delta from TjMax.
30
Chen Gongf3cffe42010-08-09 17:21:10 -070031Temperature known as TjMax is the maximum junction temperature of processor,
32which depends on the CPU model. See table below. At this temperature, protection
Rudolf Marekd58ee0562007-05-08 17:22:02 +020033mechanism will perform actions to forcibly cool down the processor. Alarm
34may be raised, if the temperature grows enough (more than TjMax) to trigger
35the Out-Of-Spec bit. Following table summarizes the exported sysfs files:
36
Durgadoss R199e0de2011-05-20 01:29:35 +053037All Sysfs entries are named with their core_id (represented here by 'X').
38tempX_input - Core temperature (in millidegrees Celsius).
39tempX_max - All cooling devices should be turned on (on Core2).
40tempX_crit - Maximum junction temperature (in millidegrees Celsius).
41tempX_crit_alarm - Set when Out-of-spec bit is set, never clears.
Rudolf Marekd58ee0562007-05-08 17:22:02 +020042 Correct CPU operation is no longer guaranteed.
Durgadoss R199e0de2011-05-20 01:29:35 +053043tempX_label - Contains string "Core X", where X is processor
44 number. For Package temp, this will be "Physical id Y",
45 where Y is the package number.

Jean Delvarea45a8c82011-09-16 21:24:02 +020047On CPU models which support it, TjMax is read from a model-specific register.
48On other models, it is set to an arbitrary value based on weak heuristics.
49If these heuristics don't work for you, you can pass the correct TjMax value
50as a module parameter (tjmax).
