Value 0 means it reaches to Tcontrol + temperature. Sub-zero value means the die temperature + goes across Tconrtol to Tjmax. +temp2_min Provides the minimum DTS thermal margin to Tcontrol of + the CPU package. +temp2_lcrit Provides the value when the CPU package temperature + reaches to Tjmax. + +temp3_input Provides current Tcontrol temperature of the CPU + package which is also known as Fan Temperature target. + Indicates the relative value from thermal monitor trip + temperature at which fans should be engaged. +temp3_crit Provides Tcontrol critical value of the CPU package + which is same to Tjmax. + +temp4_input Provides current Tthrottle temperature of the CPU + package. Used for throttling temperature. If this value + is allowed and lower than Tjmax - the throttle will + occur and reported at lower than Tjmax. + +temp[100-127]_input Provides current core temperature. +temp[100-127]_max Provides thermal control temperature of the core. +temp[100-127]_crit Provides shutdown temperature of the core. +temp[100-127]_crit_hyst Provides the hysteresis value from Tcontrol to Tjmax of + the core. + +Note: + Core temperature group will be appeared when probing the driver if CPU + is online or when the first reading on other attr happens because it + needs cpu info reading. The number of generated core attrs depends on + the number of cores of the cpu package. + +temp[200-215]_input Provides current temperature of the DDR DIMM. -- 2.7.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
