From 60eb0b35a9cc3400251cb4028d100e350649cf8a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh Date: Fri, 24 Nov 2006 11:47:08 -0200 Subject: ACPI: ibm-acpi: Implement direct-ec-access thermal reading modes for up to 16 sensors This patch extends ibm-acpi to support reading thermal sensors directly through ACPI EC register access. It uses a DMI match to detect ThinkPads with a new-style embedded controller, that are known to have forward- compatible register maps and use 0x00 to fill in non-used registers and export thermal sensors at EC offsets 0x78-7F and 0xC0-C7. Direct ACPI EC register access is implemented for 8-sensor and 16-sensor new-style ThinkPad controller firmwares as an experimental feature. The code does some limited sanity checks on the temperatures read through EC access, and will default to the old ACPI TMP0-7 mode if anything is amiss. Userspace ABI is not changed for 8 sensors, but /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal is extended for 16 sensors if the firmware supports 16 sensors. A documentation update is also provided. The information about the ThinkPad register map was determined by studying ibm-acpi "ecdump" output from various ThinkPad models, submitted by subscribers of the linux-thinkpad mailinglist. Futher information was gathered from the DSDT tables, as they describe the EC register map in recent ThinkPads. DSDT source shows that TMP0-7 access and direct register access are actually the same thing on these firmwares, but unfortunately IBM never did update their DSDT EC register map to export TMP8-TMP15 for the second range of sensors.

When the watchdog timer expires, the equivalent action of a "fan enable" command is executed. The watchdog timer is reset at every reception of a fan control command that could change the state of the fan itself. This command is meant to be used by userspace fan control daemons, to make sure the fan is never left set to an unsafe level because of userspace problems. Users of the X31/X40/X41 "speed" command are on their own, the current implementation of "speed" is just too incomplete to be used safely, anyway. Better to never use it, and just use the "level" command instead. The watchdog is programmed using echo "watchdog " > fan, where number is the number of seconds to wait before doing an "enable", and zero disables the watchdog.
