[PATCH] k10temp: update documentation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



It's been a while since the k10temp documentation has been updated.
There are new CPU families supported as well as Tdie temp was added.
This patch adds all missing families which I was able to find from git
history and provides more info about Tctl vs Tdie exported temps.

+On some AMD CPUs, there is a difference between the die temperature (Tdie) and
+the reported temperature (Tctl). Tdie is the real measured temperature, and
+Tctl is used for fan control. While Tctl is always available as temp1_input,
+the driver exports Tdie temperature as temp2_input for those CPUs which support
+it.

+Models from 17h family report relative temperature, the driver aims to
