Introduction of the Platform Environment Control Interface (PECI) bus
device driver. PECI is a one-wire bus interface that provides a
communication channel between an Intel processor and chipset components to
external monitoring or control devices. PECI is designed to support the
following sideband functions:
* Processor and DRAM thermal management
- Processor fan speed control is managed by comparing Digital Thermal
Sensor (DTS) thermal readings acquired via PECI against the
processor-specific fan speed control reference point, or TCONTROL. Both
TCONTROL and DTS thermal readings are accessible via the processor PECI
client. These variables are referenced to a common temperature, the TCC
activation point, and are both defined as negative offsets from that
reference.
- PECI based access to the processor package configuration space provides
a means for Baseboard Management Controllers (BMC) or other platform
management devices to actively manage the processor and memory power
and thermal features.
* Platform Manageability
- Platform manageability functions including thermal, power, and error
monitoring. Note that platform 'power' management includes monitoring
and control for both the processor and DRAM subsystem to assist with
data center power limiting.
- PECI allows read access to certain error registers in the processor MSR
space and status monitoring registers in the PCI configuration space
within the processor and downstream devices.
- PECI permits writes to certain registers in the processor PCI
configuration space.
* Processor Interface Tuning and Diagnostics
- Processor interface tuning and diagnostics capabilities
(Intel Interconnect BIST). The processors Intel Interconnect Built In
Self Test (Intel IBIST) allows for infield diagnostic capabilities in
the Intel UPI and memory controller interfaces. PECI provides a port to
execute these diagnostics via its PCI Configuration read and write
capabilities.
* Failure Analysis
- Output the state of the processor after a failure for analysis via
Crashdump.
PECI uses a single wire for self-clocking and data transfer. The bus
requires no additional control lines. The physical layer is a self-clocked
one-wire bus that begins each bit with a driven, rising edge from an idle
level near zero volts. The duration of the signal driven high depends on
whether the bit value is a logic '0' or logic '1'. PECI also includes
variable data transfer rate established with every message. In this way, it
is highly flexible even though underlying logic is simple.
The interface design was optimized for interfacing between an Intel
processor and chipset components in both single processor and multiple
processor environments. The single wire interface provides low board
routing overhead for the multiple load connections in the congested routing
area near the processor and chipset components. Bus speed, error checking,
and low protocol overhead provides adequate link bandwidth and reliability
to transfer critical device operating conditions and configuration
information.
This implementation provides the basic framework to add PECI extensions to
the Linux bus and device models. A hardware specific 'Adapter' driver can
be attached to the PECI bus to provide sideband functions described above.
It is also possible to access all devices on an adapter from userspace
through the /dev interface. A device specific 'Client' driver also can be
attached to the PECI bus so each processor client's features can be
supported by the 'Client' driver through an adapter connection in the bus.
This patch set includes Aspeed 24xx/25xx PECI driver and PECI
cputemp/dimmtemp drivers as the first implementation for both adapter and
client drivers on the PECI bus framework.
Please review.

ioctl-number.txt to reflect the ioctl number of PECI subsystem.
* Added a comment to describe PECI retry action.
* Simplified return code handling of peci_ioctl_ping().
* Changed type of peci_ioctl_fn[] to static const.

bus.
* Modified PECI hwmon driver to make that to be a client driver in PECI
bus.

__u16 and etc.
* Modified wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout error handling logic
in Aspeed PECI driver to deliver errors correctly.

command suite as ioctls.

* Fixed OF table for hwmon to make it indicate as a PECI client of Intel
CPU target.
* Added a maintainer of PECI subsystem into MAINTAINERS document.
