12 | ||
38bb0849 FP |
13 | The generic thermal sysfs provides a set of interfaces for thermal zone |
14 | devices (sensors) and thermal cooling devices (fan, processor...) to register | |
15 | with the thermal management solution and to be a part of it. | |
203d3d4a | 16 | |
38bb0849 FP |
17 | This how-to focuses on enabling new thermal zone and cooling devices to |
18 | participate in thermal management. | |
19 | This solution is platform independent and any type of thermal zone devices | |
20 | and cooling devices should be able to make use of the infrastructure. | |
203d3d4a | 21 | |
38bb0849 FP |
22 | The main task of the thermal sysfs driver is to expose thermal zone attributes |
23 | as well as cooling device attributes to the user space. | |
24 | An intelligent thermal management application can make decisions based on | |
25 | inputs from thermal zone attributes (the current temperature and trip point | |
26 | temperature) and throttle appropriate devices. | |

175 | a zone with a cooling device for a particular trip point. | |
176 | .cdev: The cooling device pointer | |
bcdcbbc7 JM |
177 | .weight: The 'influence' of a particular cooling device on this |
178 | zone. This is relative to the rest of the cooling | |
179 | devices. For example, if all cooling devices have a | |
180 | weight of 1, then they all contribute the same. You can | |
181 | use percentages if you want, but it's not mandatory. A | |
182 | weight of 0 means that this cooling device doesn't | |
183 | contribute to the cooling of this zone unless all cooling | |
184 | devices have a weight of 0. If all weights are 0, then | |
185 | they all contribute the same. | |
6ea083b1 D |
186 | .trip_mask:This is a bit mask that gives the binding relation between |
187 | this thermal zone and cdev, for a particular trip point. | |

a8892d83 EV |
190 | .limits: This is an array of cooling state limits. Must have exactly |
191 | 2 * thermal_zone.number_of_trip_points. It is an array consisting | |
192 | of tuples <lower-state upper-state> of state limits. Each trip | |
193 | will be associated with one state limit tuple when binding. | |
194 | A NULL pointer means <THERMAL_NO_LIMITS THERMAL_NO_LIMITS> | |
195 | on all trips. These limits are used when binding a cdev to a | |
196 | trip point. | |
6ea083b1 D |
197 | .match: This call back returns success(0) if the 'tz and cdev' need to |
198 | be bound, as per platform data. | |

200 | This structure defines the platform level parameters for a thermal zone. | |
201 | This data, for each thermal zone should come from the platform layer. | |
202 | This is an optional feature where some platforms can choose not to | |
203 | provide this data. | |

ccba4ffd EV |
205 | .no_hwmon: a boolean to indicate if the thermal to hwmon sysfs interface |
206 | is required. when no_hwmon == false, a hwmon sysfs interface | |
207 | will be created. when no_hwmon == true, nothing will be done. | |
208 | In case the thermal_zone_params is NULL, the hwmon interface | |
209 | will be created (for backward compatibility). | |
6ea083b1 D |
210 | .num_tbps: Number of thermal_bind_params entries for this zone |
211 | .tbp: thermal_bind_params entries | |

e9ae7107 | 260 | Besides the thermal zone device sysfs I/F and cooling device sysfs I/F, |
38bb0849 FP |
261 | the generic thermal driver also creates a hwmon sysfs I/F for each _type_ |
262 | of thermal zone device. E.g. the generic thermal driver registers one hwmon | |
263 | class device and build the associated hwmon sysfs I/F for all the registered | |
264 | ACPI thermal zones. | |

451 | 3. A simple implementation | |
452 | ||
38bb0849 FP |
453 | ACPI thermal zone may support multiple trip points like critical, hot, |
454 | passive, active. If an ACPI thermal zone supports critical, passive, | |
455 | active[0] and active[1] at the same time, it may register itself as a | |
456 | thermal_zone_device (thermal_zone1) with 4 trip points in all. | |
457 | It has one processor and one fan, which are both registered as | |
db916513 JM |
458 | thermal_cooling_device. Both are considered to have the same |
459 | effectiveness in cooling the thermal zone. | |
38bb0849 FP |
460 | |
461 | If the processor is listed in _PSL method, and the fan is listed in _AL0 | |
462 | method, the sys I/F structure will be built like this: | |

504 | 4. Event Notification | |
505 | ||
506 | The framework includes a simple notification mechanism, in the form of a | |
507 | netlink event. Netlink socket initialization is done during the _init_ | |
508 | of the framework. Drivers which intend to use the notification mechanism | |
2d58d7ea | 509 | just need to call thermal_generate_netlink_event() with two arguments viz |
8ab3e6a0 EV |
510 | (originator, event). The originator is a pointer to struct thermal_zone_device |
511 | from where the event has been originated. An integer which represents the | |
512 | thermal zone device will be used in the message to identify the zone. The | |
4cb18728 D |
513 | event will be one of:{THERMAL_AUX0, THERMAL_AUX1, THERMAL_CRITICAL, |
514 | THERMAL_DEV_FAULT}. Notification can be sent when the current temperature | |
515 | crosses any of the configured thresholds. | |

517 | 5. Export Symbol APIs: | |
518 | ||
519 | 5.1: get_tz_trend: | |
520 | This function returns the trend of a thermal zone, i.e the rate of change | |
521 | of temperature of the thermal zone. Ideally, the thermal sensor drivers | |
522 | are supposed to implement the callback. If they don't, the thermal | |
523 | framework calculated the trend by comparing the previous and the current | |
524 | temperature values. | |
525 | ||
526 | 5.2:get_thermal_instance: | |
527 | This function returns the thermal_instance corresponding to a given | |
528 | {thermal_zone, cooling_device, trip_point} combination. Returns NULL | |
529 | if such an instance does not exist. | |
530 | ||
7b73c993 | 531 | 5.3:thermal_notify_framework: |
6ea083b1 D |
532 | This function handles the trip events from sensor drivers. It starts |
533 | throttling the cooling devices according to the policy configured. | |
534 | For CRITICAL and HOT trip points, this notifies the respective drivers, | |
535 | and does actual throttling for other trip points i.e ACTIVE and PASSIVE. | |
536 | The throttling policy is based on the configured platform data; if no | |
537 | platform data is provided, this uses the step_wise throttling policy. | |
538 | ||
539 | 5.4:thermal_cdev_update: | |
540 | This function serves as an arbitrator to set the state of a cooling | |
541 | device. It sets the cooling device to the deepest cooling state if | |
542 | possible. |
