13 Chapter 14.6: PACKAGE LEVEL THERMAL MANAGEMENT
18 This driver register CPU digital temperature package level sensor as a thermal
19 zone with maximum two user mode configurable trip points. Number of trip points
20 depends on the capability of the package. Once the trip point is violated,
21 user mode can receive notification via thermal notification mechanism and can
22 take any action to control temperature.
27 Each package will register as a thermal zone under /sys/class/thermal.
29 /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone1
31 This contains two trip points:
35 User can set any temperature between 0 to TJ-Max temperature. Temperature units
36 are in milli-degree Celsius. Refer to "Documentation/thermal/sysfs-api.txt" for
37 thermal sys-fs details.
39 Any value other than 0 in these trip points, can trigger thermal notifications.
40 Setting 0, stops sending thermal notifications.
42 Thermal notifications: To get kobject-uevent notifications, set the thermal zone
43 policy to "user_space". For example: echo -n "user_space" > policy
