* thermal: sysfs: Add a new sysfs node emul_temp for thermal emulationAmit Daniel Kachhap2013-02-061-0/+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.

* thermal: Use thermal zone device id in netlink messagesEduardo Valentin2013-01-161-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes the function thermal_generate_netlink_event to receive a thermal zone device instead of a originator id. This way, the messages will always be bound to a thermal zone.

| | | | | | | | | | With commit 6503e5df08008b9a47022b5e9ebba658c8fa69af, the value of /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zoneX/mode has been changed from user/kernel to enabled/disabled. Update the documentation so that users won't be confused. Signed-off-by: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
* Thermal: Add Hysteresis attributesDurgadoss R2012-07-251-0/+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.

* Thermal: Make Thermal trip points writeableDurgadoss R2012-07-251-1/+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.

* thermal: Rename generate_netlink_eventJean Delvare2012-01-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | It doesn't seem right for the thermal subsystem to export a symbol named generate_netlink_event. This function is thermal-specific and its name should reflect that fact. Rename it to thermal_generate_netlink_event. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Acked-by: Rafael J.

* thermal: add sanity check for the passive attributeFrans Pop2009-11-061-0/+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>
