2013-09-03thermal: thermal_core: allow binding with limits on bind_paramsEduardo Valentin1-0/+7
When registering a thermal zone device using platform information via bind_params, the thermal framework will always perform the cdev binding using the lowest and highest limits (THERMAL_NO_LIMIT). This patch changes the data structures so that it is possible to inform what are the desired limits for each trip point inside a bind_param. The way the binding is performed is also changed so that it uses the new data structure.

2013-09-03drivers: thermal: make usage of CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON optionalEduardo Valentin1-0/+5
When registering a new thermal_device, the thermal framework will always add a hwmon sysfs interface. This patch adds a flag to make this behavior optional. Now when registering a new thermal device, the caller can optionally inform if hwmon interface is desirable. This can be done by means of passing a thermal_zone_params.no_hwmon == true. In order to keep same behavior as of today, all current calls will by default create the hwmon interface.

2013-04-14Thermal: build thermal governors into thermal_sys moduleZhang Rui1-8/+0
The thermal governors are part of the thermal framework, rather than a seperate feature/module. Because the generic thermal layer can not work without thermal governors, and it must load the thermal governors during its initialization. Build them into one module in this patch. This also fix a problem that the generic thermal layer does not work when CONFIG_THERMAL=m and CONFIG_THERMAL_GOV_XXX=y.

2013-04-02thermal: add a warning for temperature emulation featureEduardo Valentin1-0/+4
Because this feature is for debuging purposes, it is highly recommended to do not enable this on production systems. This patch adds warnings for system integrators, so that people are aware of this potential security issue.

2013-02-06thermal: sysfs: Add a new sysfs node emul_temp for thermal emulationAmit Daniel Kachhap1-0/+13
This patch adds support to set the emulated temperature method in thermal zone (sensor). After setting this feature thermal zone may report this temperature and not the actual temperature. The emulation implementation may be based on sensor capability through platform specific handler or pure software emulation if no platform handler defined. This is useful in debugging different temperature threshold and its associated cooling action. Critical threshold's cannot be emulated. Writing 0 on this node should disable emulation.

2013-01-16thermal: Use thermal zone device id in netlink messagesEduardo Valentin1-2/+3

2012-07-24Thermal: Add Hysteresis attributesDurgadoss R1-0/+6
The Linux Thermal Framework does not support hysteresis attributes. Most thermal sensors, today, have a hysteresis value associated with trip points. This patch adds hysteresis attributes on a per-trip-point basis, to the Thermal Framework. These attributes are optionally writable.

2012-07-24Thermal: Make Thermal trip points writeableDurgadoss R1-1/+3
Some of the thermal drivers using the Generic Thermal Framework require (all/some) trip points to be writeable. This patch makes the trip point temperatures writeable on a per-trip point basis, and modifies the required function call in thermal.c. This patch also updates the Documentation to reflect the new change.

2009-11-05thermal: add sanity check for the passive attributeFrans Pop1-0/+1
Values below 1000 milli-celsius don't make sense and can cause the system to go into a thermal heart attack: the actual temperature will always be lower and thus the system will be throttled down to its lowest setting. An additional problem is that values below 1000 will show as 0 in /proc/acpi/thermal/TZx/trip_points:passive. cat passive 0 echo -n 90 >passive bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument echo -n 90000 >passive cat passive 90000 Signed-off-by: Frans Pop <elendil@planet.nl> Acked-by: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
