2008-10-17ACPI: Allow overriding to higher critical trip point.Zhang Rui
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9129 lenb: Note that overriding a critical trip point may simply fool the user into thinking that they have control that they do not actually have. For it is EC firmware that decides when the EC sends Linux temperature change events, and the EC may or may not decide to send Linux these events anywhere in the neighborhood of the fake override trip points. Beware. note also that thermal.nocrt is already available to disable crtical trip point actios, and thermal.crt=-1 is already available to disabled critical trip points entirely.

2007-10-09drivers/firmware: const-ify DMI API and internalsJeff Garzik
Three main sets of changes: 1) dmi_get_system_info() return value should have been marked const, since callers should not be changing that data. 2) const-ify DMI internals, since DMI firmware tables should, whenever possible, be marked const to ensure we never ever write to that data area. 3) const-ify DMI API, to enable marking tables const where possible in low-level drivers. And if we're really lucky, this might enable some additional optimizations on the part of the compiler. The bulk of the changes are #2 and #3, which are interrelated. #1 could have been a separate patch, but it was so small compared to the others, it was easier to roll it into this changeset.

2007-09-04ACPI: thermal: use round_jiffies when thermal zone polling is enabledLen Brown
Properly functioning systems do not use thermal zone polling, they use event-based notification. However, some users enable periodic thermal zone polling to work around bugs on their platforms, and at least one platform exists with a real _TZP that requests polling. While thermal zone polling (_TZP) is specified in units to 0.1 seconds, it actually has a maximum granularity of 1 second. Thus, we can safely round up the _TZP timeout to occur on the next 1-second boundary. This will batch it with other 1-second-granularity timers in the system and thus potentially extend processor idle duration. Note that the same timer is used both for _TZP and for passive processor thermal throttling. We can not round up the timeout when it is used for passive thermal throttling. Also, we can not make this a deferrable timer, as temperature is just as relevant during idle as it is during non-idle. Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

2007-08-12ACPI: thermal: create "thermal.act=" to disable or override active trip pointLen Brown
thermal.act=-1 disables all active trip points in all ACPI thermal zones. thermal.act=C, where C > 0, overrides all lowest temperature active trip points in all thermal zones to C degrees Celsius. Raising this trip-point may allow you to keep your system silent up to a higher temperature. However, it will not allow you to raise the lowest temperature trip point above the next higher trip point (if there is one). Lowering this trip point may kick in the fan sooner. Note that overriding this trip-point will disable any BIOS attempts to implement hysteresis around the lowest temperature trip point. This may result in the fan starting and stopping frequently if temperature frequently crosses C. WARNING: raising trip points above the manufacturer's defaults may cause the system to run at higher temperature and shorten its life. Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2007-08-12ACPI: thermal: create "thermal.nocrt" to disable critical actionsLen Brown
thermal.nocrt=1 disables actions on _CRT and _HOT ACPI thermal zone trip-points. They will be marked as <disabled> in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/trip_points. There are two cases where this option is used: 1. Debugging a hot system crossing valid trip point. If your system fan is spinning at full speed, be sure that the vent is not clogged with dust. Many laptops have very fine thermal fins that are easily blocked. Check that the processor fan-sink is properly seated, has the proper thermal grease, and is really spinning. Check for fan related options in BIOS SETUP. Sometimes there is a performance vs quiet option. Defaults are generally the most conservative. If your fan is not spinning, yet /proc/acpi/fan/ has files in it, please file a Linux/ACPI bug. WARNING: you risk shortening the lifetime of your hardware if you use this parameter on a hot system. Note that this refers to all system components, including the disk drive. 2. Working around a cool system crossing critical trip point due to erroneous temperature reading. Try again with CONFIG_HWMON=n There is known potential for conflict between the the hwmon sub-system and the ACPI BIOS. If this fixes it, notify lm-sensors@lm-sensors.org and linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org Otherwise, file a Linux/ACPI bug, or notify just linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org.

2007-08-12ACPI: thermal: create "thermal.psv=" to override passive trip pointsLen Brown
"thermal.psv=-1" disables passive trip points for all ACPI thermal zones. "thermal.psv=C", where 'C' is degrees Celsius, overrides all existing passive trip points for all ACPI thermal zones. thermal.psv is checked at module load time, and in response to trip-point change events. Note that if the system does not deliver thermal zone temperature change events near the new trip-point, then it will not be noticed. To force your custom trip point to be noticed, you may need to enable polling: eg. thermal.tzp=3000 invokes polling every 5 minutes. Note that once passive thermal throttling is invoked, it has its own internal Thermal Sampling Period (_TSP), that is unrelated to _TZP. WARNING: disabling or raising a thermal trip point may result in increased running temperature and shorter hardware lifetime on some systems. Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2007-08-12ACPI: thermal: expose "thermal.tzp=" to set global polling frequencyLen Brown
Thermal Zone Polling frequency (_TZP) is an optional ACPI object recommending the rate that the OS should poll the associated thermal zone. If _TZP is 0, no polling should be used. If _TZP is non-zero, then the platform recommends that the OS poll the thermal zone at the specified rate. The minimum period is 30 seconds. The maximum period is 5 minutes. (note _TZP and thermal.tzp units are in deci-seconds, so _TZP = 300 corresponds to 30 seconds) If _TZP is not present, ACPI 3.0b recommends that the thermal zone be polled at an "OS provided default frequency". However, common industry practice is: 1. The BIOS never specifies any _TZP 2. High volume OS's from this century never poll any thermal zones Ie. The OS depends on the platform's ability to provoke thermal events when necessary, and the "OS provided default frequency" is "never":-) There is a proposal that ACPI 4.0 be updated to reflect common industry practice -- ie. no _TZP, no polling. The Linux kernel already follows this practice -- thermal zones are not polled unless _TZP is present and non-zero. But thermal zone polling is useful as a workaround for systems which have ACPI thermal control, but have an issue preventing thermal events. Indeed, some Linux distributions still set a non-zero thermal polling frequency for this reason. But rather than ask the user to write a polling frequency into all the /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/polling_frequency files, here we simply document and expose the already existing module parameter to do the same at system level, to simplify debugging those broken platforms. Note that thermal.tzp is a module-load time parameter only. Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

2007-04-30ACPI: delete un-reliable concept of cooling modeLen Brown
The scheme where the thermal driver displayed the cooling mode /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/cooling_mode was flawed in two ways. First, the success of _SCP doesn't actually mean that the BIOS moved any trip points. On many BIOS, _SCP is present, but does nothing. So displaying what _SCP executed actually was wrong more times than it was right. Second, examining the relative position of the trip points when the thermal_zone is added is insufficient -- as the BIOS reserves the right to change the trip points at run-time. The only reliable way for the user to determine if the thermal zone is in active, passive, or critical mode is to examine the relative position of the trip points. The user can do this without the kernel doing it for them by looking in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/trip_points New contents for /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/cooling_mode: If _SCP available: "0 - Active; 1 - Passive\n" If _SCP unavailable: "<setting not supported>\n" Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2007-04-30ACPI: thermal trip points are read-onlyLen Brown
/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/trip_points displays what the kernel reads from the BIOS via ACPI. If you echo a string of ':' deliminted numbers to this file then it will change what it displays. But it shouldn't, since the kernel has no way to communicate these changes to ACPI thermal zones. ACPI thermal zone trip points are read-only. The kernel does have the opportunity to ask the BIOS to change the trip points with _SCP - Set Cooling Policy. Request Active Cooling Mode: # echo 0 > /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/cooling_policy Request Passive Cooling Mode: # echo 1 > /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/cooling_policy However, in practice it is quite rare for the BIOS to support the optional _SCP, and it is even more rare for the BIOS to export an _SCP that actually changes the trip points.
