This adds support for hardware-tracked trip points to the device tree thermal sensor framework. The framework supports an arbitrary number of trip points. Whenever the current temperature is updated, the trip points immediately below and above the current temperature are found. A .set_trips callback is then called with the temperatures. If there is no trip point above or below the current temperature, the passed trip temperature will be -INT_MAX or INT_MAX respectively. In this callback, the driver should program the hardware such that it is notified when either of these trip points are triggered. When a trip point is triggered, the driver should call `thermal_zone_device_update' for the respective thermal zone. This will cause the trip points to be updated again. If .set_trips is not implemented, the framework behaves as before.

0. Introduction
|
|
|
|
The generic thermal sysfs provides a set of interfaces for thermal zone
|
|
devices (sensors) and thermal cooling devices (fan, processor...) to register
|
|
with the thermal management solution and to be a part of it.
|
|
|
|
This how-to focuses on enabling new thermal zone and cooling devices to
|
|
participate in thermal management.
|
|
This solution is platform independent and any type of thermal zone devices
|
|
and cooling devices should be able to make use of the infrastructure.
|
|
|
|
The main task of the thermal sysfs driver is to expose thermal zone attributes
|
|
as well as cooling device attributes to the user space.
|
|
An intelligent thermal management application can make decisions based on
|
|
inputs from thermal zone attributes (the current temperature and trip point
|
|
temperature) and throttle appropriate devices.
|
|
|
|
[0-*] denotes any positive number starting from 0
|
|
[1-*] denotes any positive number starting from 1
|
|
|
|
1. thermal sysfs driver interface functions
|
|
|
|
1.1 thermal zone device interface
|
|
1.1.1 struct thermal_zone_device *thermal_zone_device_register(char *type,
|
|
int trips, int mask, void *devdata,
|
|
struct thermal_zone_device_ops *ops,
|
|
const struct thermal_zone_params *tzp,
|
|
int passive_delay, int polling_delay))
|
|
|
|
This interface function adds a new thermal zone device (sensor) to
|
|
/sys/class/thermal folder as thermal_zone[0-*]. It tries to bind all the
|
|
thermal cooling devices registered at the same time.
|
|
|
|
type: the thermal zone type.
|
|
trips: the total number of trip points this thermal zone supports.
|
|
mask: Bit string: If 'n'th bit is set, then trip point 'n' is writeable.
|
|
devdata: device private data
|
|
ops: thermal zone device call-backs.
|
|
.bind: bind the thermal zone device with a thermal cooling device.
|
|
.unbind: unbind the thermal zone device with a thermal cooling device.
|
|
.get_temp: get the current temperature of the thermal zone.
|
|
.set_trips: set the trip points window. Whenever the current temperature
|
|
is updated, the trip points immediately below and above the
|
|
current temperature are found.
|
|
.get_mode: get the current mode (enabled/disabled) of the thermal zone.
|
|
- "enabled" means the kernel thermal management is enabled.
|
|
- "disabled" will prevent kernel thermal driver action upon trip points
|
|
so that user applications can take charge of thermal management.
|
|
.set_mode: set the mode (enabled/disabled) of the thermal zone.
|
|
.get_trip_type: get the type of certain trip point.
|
|
.get_trip_temp: get the temperature above which the certain trip point
|
|
will be fired.
|
|
.set_emul_temp: set the emulation temperature which helps in debugging
|
|
different threshold temperature points.
|
|
tzp: thermal zone platform parameters.
|
|
passive_delay: number of milliseconds to wait between polls when
|
|
performing passive cooling.
|
|
polling_delay: number of milliseconds to wait between polls when checking
|
|
whether trip points have been crossed (0 for interrupt driven systems).
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.1.2 void thermal_zone_device_unregister(struct thermal_zone_device *tz)
|
|
|
|
This interface function removes the thermal zone device.
|
|
It deletes the corresponding entry from /sys/class/thermal folder and
|
|
unbinds all the thermal cooling devices it uses.
|
|
|
|
1.1.3 struct thermal_zone_device *thermal_zone_of_sensor_register(
|
|
struct device *dev, int sensor_id, void *data,
|
|
const struct thermal_zone_of_device_ops *ops)
|
|
|
|
This interface adds a new sensor to a DT thermal zone.
|
|
This function will search the list of thermal zones described in
|
|
device tree and look for the zone that refer to the sensor device
|
|
pointed by dev->of_node as temperature providers. For the zone
|
|
pointing to the sensor node, the sensor will be added to the DT
|
|
thermal zone device.
|
|
|
|
The parameters for this interface are:
|
|
dev: Device node of sensor containing valid node pointer in
|
|
dev->of_node.
|
|
sensor_id: a sensor identifier, in case the sensor IP has more
|
|
than one sensors
|
|
data: a private pointer (owned by the caller) that will be
|
|
passed back, when a temperature reading is needed.
|
|
ops: struct thermal_zone_of_device_ops *.
|
|
|
|
get_temp: a pointer to a function that reads the
|
|
sensor temperature. This is mandatory
|
|
callback provided by sensor driver.
|
|
set_trips: a pointer to a function that sets a
|
|
temperature window. When this window is
|
|
left the driver must inform the thermal
|
|
core via thermal_zone_device_update.
|
|
get_trend: a pointer to a function that reads the
|
|
sensor temperature trend.
|
|
set_emul_temp: a pointer to a function that sets
|
|
sensor emulated temperature.
|
|
The thermal zone temperature is provided by the get_temp() function
|
|
pointer of thermal_zone_of_device_ops. When called, it will
|
|
have the private pointer @data back.
|
|
|
|
It returns error pointer if fails otherwise valid thermal zone device
|
|
handle. Caller should check the return handle with IS_ERR() for finding
|
|
whether success or not.
|
|
|
|
1.1.4 void thermal_zone_of_sensor_unregister(struct device *dev,
|
|
struct thermal_zone_device *tzd)
|
|
|
|
This interface unregisters a sensor from a DT thermal zone which was
|
|
successfully added by interface thermal_zone_of_sensor_register().
|
|
This function removes the sensor callbacks and private data from the
|
|
thermal zone device registered with thermal_zone_of_sensor_register()
|
|
interface. It will also silent the zone by remove the .get_temp() and
|
|
get_trend() thermal zone device callbacks.
|
|
|
|
1.1.5 struct thermal_zone_device *devm_thermal_zone_of_sensor_register(
|
|
struct device *dev, int sensor_id,
|
|
void *data, const struct thermal_zone_of_device_ops *ops)
|
|
|
|
This interface is resource managed version of
|
|
thermal_zone_of_sensor_register().
|
|
All details of thermal_zone_of_sensor_register() described in
|
|
section 1.1.3 is applicable here.
|
|
The benefit of using this interface to register sensor is that it
|
|
is not require to explicitly call thermal_zone_of_sensor_unregister()
|
|
in error path or during driver unbinding as this is done by driver
|
|
resource manager.
|
|
|
|
1.1.6 void devm_thermal_zone_of_sensor_unregister(struct device *dev,
|
|
struct thermal_zone_device *tzd)
|
|
|
|

|
|
thermal_zone_of_sensor_unregister().
|
|
All details of thermal_zone_of_sensor_unregister() described in
|
|
section 1.1.4 is applicable here.
|
|
Normally this function will not need to be called and the resource
|
|
management code will ensure that the resource is freed.
|
|
|
|
1.1.7 int thermal_zone_get_slope(struct thermal_zone_device *tz)
|
|
|
|
This interface is used to read the slope attribute value
|
|
for the thermal zone device, which might be useful for platform
|
|
drivers for temperature calculations.
|
|
|
|
1.1.8 int thermal_zone_get_offset(struct thermal_zone_device *tz)
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
This interface function adds a new thermal cooling device (fan/processor/...)

unsigned long upper, unsigned long lower, unsigned int weight);
|
|
|

|
|
is associated with.
|

|
1.4 Thermal Zone Parameters
|
|
1.4.1 struct thermal_bind_params
|
|
This structure defines the following parameters that are used to bind
|
|
a zone with a cooling device for a particular trip point.
|
|
.cdev: The cooling device pointer
|
|
.weight: The 'influence' of a particular cooling device on this
|
|
zone. This is relative to the rest of the cooling
|
|
devices. For example, if all cooling devices have a
|
|
weight of 1, then they all contribute the same. You can
|
|
use percentages if you want, but it's not mandatory. A
|
|
weight of 0 means that this cooling device doesn't
|
|
contribute to the cooling of this zone unless all cooling
|
|
devices have a weight of 0. If all weights are 0, then
|
|
they all contribute the same.
|
|
.trip_mask:This is a bit mask that gives the binding relation between
|
|
this thermal zone and cdev, for a particular trip point.
|
|
If nth bit is set, then the cdev and thermal zone are bound
|
|
for trip point n.
|
|
.binding_limits: This is an array of cooling state limits. Must have
|
|
exactly 2 * thermal_zone.number_of_trip_points. It is an
|
|
array consisting of tuples <lower-state upper-state> of
|
|
state limits. Each trip will be associated with one state
|
|
limit tuple when binding. A NULL pointer means
|
|
<THERMAL_NO_LIMITS THERMAL_NO_LIMITS> on all trips.
|
|
These limits are used when binding a cdev to a trip point.
|
|
.match: This call back returns success(0) if the 'tz and cdev' need to
|
|
be bound, as per platform data.
|
|
1.4.2 struct thermal_zone_params
|
|
This structure defines the platform level parameters for a thermal zone.
|
|
This data, for each thermal zone should come from the platform layer.
|
|
This is an optional feature where some platforms can choose not to
|
|
provide this data.
|
|
.governor_name: Name of the thermal governor used for this zone
|
|
.no_hwmon: a boolean to indicate if the thermal to hwmon sysfs interface
|
|
is required. when no_hwmon == false, a hwmon sysfs interface
|
|
will be created. when no_hwmon == true, nothing will be done.
|
|
In case the thermal_zone_params is NULL, the hwmon interface
|
|
will be created (for backward compatibility).
|
|
.num_tbps: Number of thermal_bind_params entries for this zone
|
|
.tbp: thermal_bind_params entries
|
|
|
|
2. sysfs attributes structure
|
|
|
|
RO read only value
|
|
RW read/write value
|
|
|
|
Thermal sysfs attributes will be represented under /sys/class/thermal.
|
|
Hwmon sysfs I/F extension is also available under /sys/class/hwmon
|
|
if hwmon is compiled in or built as a module.
|
|
|
|
Thermal zone device sys I/F, created once it's registered:
|
|
/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone[0-*]:
|
|
|---type: Type of the thermal zone
|
|
|---temp: Current temperature
|
|
|---mode: Working mode of the thermal zone
|
|
|---policy: Thermal governor used for this zone

|
|---available_policies: Available thermal governors for this zone
|
|
|---trip_point_[0-*]_temp: Trip point temperature
|
|
|---trip_point_[0-*]_type: Trip point type

|---k_d: PID's derivative term in the power allocator
|
|
|---integral_cutoff: Offset above which errors are accumulated
|
|
|---slope: Slope constant applied as linear extrapolation
|
|
|---offset: Offset constant applied as linear extrapolation
|
|
|
|
Thermal cooling device sys I/F, created once it's registered:
|
|
/sys/class/thermal/cooling_device[0-*]:
|
|
|---type: Type of the cooling device(processor/fan/...)
|
|
|---max_state: Maximum cooling state of the cooling device
|
|
|---cur_state: Current cooling state of the cooling device
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then next two dynamic attributes are created/removed in pairs. They represent
|
|
the relationship between a thermal zone and its associated cooling device.
|
|
They are created/removed for each successful execution of
|
|
thermal_zone_bind_cooling_device/thermal_zone_unbind_cooling_device.
|
|
|
|
/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone[0-*]:

|---cdev[0-*]_trip_point: Trip point that cdev[0-*] is associated with
|
|
|---cdev[0-*]_weight: Influence of the cooling device in
|
|
this thermal zone
|
|
|
|
Besides the thermal zone device sysfs I/F and cooling device sysfs I/F,
|
|
the generic thermal driver also creates a hwmon sysfs I/F for each _type_
|
|
of thermal zone device. E.g. the generic thermal driver registers one hwmon
|
|
class device and build the associated hwmon sysfs I/F for all the registered
|
|
ACPI thermal zones.
|
|
|
|
/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon[0-*]:
|
|
|---name: The type of the thermal zone devices
|
|
|---temp[1-*]_input: The current temperature of thermal zone [1-*]
|
|
|---temp[1-*]_critical: The critical trip point of thermal zone [1-*]

type
|
|
String which represents the type of device, e.g:
|
|
- for generic ACPI: should be "Fan", "Processor" or "LCD"
|
|
- for memory controller device on intel_menlow platform:
|
|
should be "Memory controller".
|
|
RO, Required
|
|
|
|
max_state
|
|

|
|
RO, Required
|
|
|
|
cur_state
|
|
The current cooling state of this cooling device.
|
|
The value can any integer numbers between 0 and max_state:
|
|
- cur_state == 0 means no cooling
|
|
- cur_state == max_state means the maximum cooling.

3. A simple implementation
|
|
|
|
ACPI thermal zone may support multiple trip points like critical, hot,
|
|
passive, active. If an ACPI thermal zone supports critical, passive,
|
|
active[0] and active[1] at the same time, it may register itself as a
|
|
thermal_zone_device (thermal_zone1) with 4 trip points in all.
|
|
It has one processor and one fan, which are both registered as
|
|
thermal_cooling_device. Both are considered to have the same
|
|
effectiveness in cooling the thermal zone.
|
|
|
|
If the processor is listed in _PSL method, and the fan is listed in _AL0
|
|
method, the sys I/F structure will be built like this:
|
|
|
|
/sys/class/thermal:
|
|
|
|
|thermal_zone1:
|
|
|---type: acpitz
|
|
|---temp: 37000
|
|
|---mode: enabled
|
|
|---policy: step_wise
|
|
|---available_policies: step_wise fair_share
|
|
|---trip_point_0_temp: 100000
|
|
|---trip_point_0_type: critical
|
|
|---trip_point_1_temp: 80000
|
|
|---trip_point_1_type: passive
|
|
|---trip_point_2_temp: 70000
|
|
|---trip_point_2_type: active0
|
|
|---trip_point_3_temp: 60000
|
|
|---trip_point_3_type: active1
|
|
|---cdev0: --->/sys/class/thermal/cooling_device0
|
|
|---cdev0_trip_point: 1 /* cdev0 can be used for passive */
|
|
|---cdev0_weight: 1024
|
|
|---cdev1: --->/sys/class/thermal/cooling_device3
|
|
|---cdev1_trip_point: 2 /* cdev1 can be used for active[0]*/
|
|
|---cdev1_weight: 1024
|
|
|
|
|cooling_device0:
|
|
|---type: Processor
|
|
|---max_state: 8
|
|
|---cur_state: 0
|
|
|
|
|cooling_device3:
|
|
|---type: Fan
|
|
|---max_state: 2
|
|
|---cur_state: 0
|
|
|
|
/sys/class/hwmon:
|
|
|
|
|hwmon0:
|
|
|---name: acpitz
|
|
|---temp1_input: 37000
|
|
|---temp1_crit: 100000
|
|
|
|
4. Event Notification
|
|
|
|
The framework includes a simple notification mechanism, in the form of a
|
|
netlink event. Netlink socket initialization is done during the _init_
|
|
of the framework. Drivers which intend to use the notification mechanism
|
|
just need to call thermal_generate_netlink_event() with two arguments viz
|
|
(originator, event). The originator is a pointer to struct thermal_zone_device
|
|
from where the event has been originated. An integer which represents the
|
|
thermal zone device will be used in the message to identify the zone. The
|
|
event will be one of:{THERMAL_AUX0, THERMAL_AUX1, THERMAL_CRITICAL,
|
|
THERMAL_DEV_FAULT}. Notification can be sent when the current temperature
|
|
crosses any of the configured thresholds.
|
|
|
|
5. Export Symbol APIs:
|
|
|
|
5.1: get_tz_trend:
|
|
This function returns the trend of a thermal zone, i.e the rate of change
|
|
of temperature of the thermal zone. Ideally, the thermal sensor drivers
|
|
are supposed to implement the callback. If they don't, the thermal
|
|
framework calculated the trend by comparing the previous and the current
|
|
temperature values.
|
|
|
|
5.2:get_thermal_instance:
|
|
This function returns the thermal_instance corresponding to a given
|
|
{thermal_zone, cooling_device, trip_point} combination. Returns NULL
|
|
if such an instance does not exist.
|
|
|
|
5.3:thermal_notify_framework:
|
|
This function handles the trip events from sensor drivers. It starts
|
|
throttling the cooling devices according to the policy configured.
|
|
For CRITICAL and HOT trip points, this notifies the respective drivers,
|
|
and does actual throttling for other trip points i.e ACTIVE and PASSIVE.
|
|
The throttling policy is based on the configured platform data; if no
|
|
platform data is provided, this uses the step_wise throttling policy.
|
|
|
|
5.4:thermal_cdev_update:
|
|
This function serves as an arbitrator to set the state of a cooling
|
|
device. It sets the cooling device to the deepest cooling state if
|
|
possible.
