|
|
The generic thermal sysfs provides a set of interfaces for thermal zone
|
|
|
|
devices (sensors) and thermal cooling devices (fan, processor...) to register
|
|
|
|
with the thermal management solution and to be a part of it.

|
|
|
|
2009-10-26 15:38:59 +08:00
|
|
|
This how-to focuses on enabling new thermal zone and cooling devices to
|
|
|
|
participate in thermal management.
|
|
|
|
This solution is platform independent and any type of thermal zone devices
|
|
|
|
and cooling devices should be able to make use of the infrastructure.

|
|
|
|
2009-10-26 15:38:59 +08:00
|
|
|
The main task of the thermal sysfs driver is to expose thermal zone attributes
|
|
|
|
as well as cooling device attributes to the user space.
|
|
|
|
An intelligent thermal management application can make decisions based on
|
|
|
|
inputs from thermal zone attributes (the current temperature and trip point
|
|
|
|
temperature) and throttle appropriate devices.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This interface function adds a new thermal zone device (sensor) to
|
|
|
|
/sys/class/thermal folder as thermal_zone[0-*]. It tries to bind all the
|
|
|
|
thermal cooling devices registered at the same time.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
struct device *dev, int sensor_id, void *data,
|
|
|
|
const struct thermal_zone_of_device_ops *ops)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This interface adds a new sensor to a DT thermal zone.
|
|
|
|
This function will search the list of thermal zones described in
|
|
|
|
device tree and look for the zone that refer to the sensor device
|
|
|
|
pointed by dev->of_node as temperature providers. For the zone
|
|
|
|
pointing to the sensor node, the sensor will be added to the DT
|
|
|
|
thermal zone device.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The parameters for this interface are:
|
|
|
|
dev: Device node of sensor containing valid node pointer in
|
|
|
|
dev->of_node.
|
|
|
|
sensor_id: a sensor identifier, in case the sensor IP has more
|
|
|
|
than one sensors
|
|
|
|
data: a private pointer (owned by the caller) that will be
|
|
|
|
passed back, when a temperature reading is needed.
|
|
|
|
ops: struct thermal_zone_of_device_ops *.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
get_temp: a pointer to a function that reads the
|
|
|
|
sensor temperature. This is mandatory
|
|
|
|
callback provided by sensor driver.
|
2016-06-22 16:42:01 +08:00
|
|
|
set_trips: a pointer to a function that sets a
|
|
|
|
temperature window. When this window is
|
|
|
|
left the driver must inform the thermal
|
|
|
|
core via thermal_zone_device_update.
|
2016-03-09 21:10:05 +08:00
|
|
|
get_trend: a pointer to a function that reads the
|
|
|
|
sensor temperature trend.
|
|
|
|
set_emul_temp: a pointer to a function that sets
|
|
|
|
sensor emulated temperature.
|
|
|
|
The thermal zone temperature is provided by the get_temp() function
|
|
|
|
pointer of thermal_zone_of_device_ops. When called, it will
|
|
|
|
have the private pointer @data back.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It returns error pointer if fails otherwise valid thermal zone device
|
|
|
|
handle. Caller should check the return handle with IS_ERR() for finding
|
|
|
|
whether success or not.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.1.4 void thermal_zone_of_sensor_unregister(struct device *dev,
|
|
|
|
struct thermal_zone_device *tzd)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This interface unregisters a sensor from a DT thermal zone which was
|
|
|
|
successfully added by interface thermal_zone_of_sensor_register().
|
|
|
|
This function removes the sensor callbacks and private data from the
|
|
|
|
thermal zone device registered with thermal_zone_of_sensor_register()
|
|
|
|
interface. It will also silent the zone by remove the .get_temp() and
|
|
|
|
get_trend() thermal zone device callbacks.

|
|
|
|
|
|
This interface is resource managed version of
|
|
|
|
thermal_zone_of_sensor_register().

|
|
|
All details of thermal_zone_of_sensor_register() described in
|
|
|
|
section 1.1.3 is applicable here.
|
|
|
|
The benefit of using this interface to register sensor is that it
|
|
|
|
is not require to explicitly call thermal_zone_of_sensor_unregister()
|
|
|
|
in error path or during driver unbinding as this is done by driver
|
|
|
|
resource manager.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.1.6 void devm_thermal_zone_of_sensor_unregister(struct device *dev,
|
|
|
|
struct thermal_zone_device *tzd)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This interface is resource managed version of
|
|
|
|
thermal_zone_of_sensor_unregister().
|
|
|
|
All details of thermal_zone_of_sensor_unregister() described in
|
|
|
|
section 1.1.4 is applicable here.
|
|
|
|
Normally this function will not need to be called and the resource
|
|
|
|
management code will ensure that the resource is freed.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
1.1.8 int thermal_zone_get_offset(struct thermal_zone_device *tz)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

1.4 Thermal Zone Parameters
|
|
|
|
1.4.1 struct thermal_bind_params
|
|
|
|
This structure defines the following parameters that are used to bind
|
|
|
|
a zone with a cooling device for a particular trip point.
|
|
|
|
.cdev: The cooling device pointer
|
2015-02-19 00:04:25 +08:00
|
|
|
.weight: The 'influence' of a particular cooling device on this
|
|
|
|
zone. This is relative to the rest of the cooling
|
|
|
|
devices. For example, if all cooling devices have a
|
|
|
|
weight of 1, then they all contribute the same. You can
|
|
|
|
use percentages if you want, but it's not mandatory. A
|
|
|
|
weight of 0 means that this cooling device doesn't
|
|
|
|
contribute to the cooling of this zone unless all cooling
|
|
|
|
devices have a weight of 0. If all weights are 0, then
|
|
|
|
they all contribute the same.
|
2012-09-18 13:35:06 +08:00
|
|
|
.trip_mask:This is a bit mask that gives the binding relation between
|
|
|
|
this thermal zone and cdev, for a particular trip point.
|
|
|
|
If nth bit is set, then the cdev and thermal zone are bound
|
|
|
|
for trip point n.
|
2016-03-22 20:37:25 +08:00
|
|
|
.binding_limits: This is an array of cooling state limits. Must have
|
|
|
|
exactly 2 * thermal_zone.number_of_trip_points. It is an
|
|
|
|
array consisting of tuples <lower-state upper-state> of
|
|
|
|
state limits. Each trip will be associated with one state
|
|
|
|
limit tuple when binding. A NULL pointer means
|
|
|
|
<THERMAL_NO_LIMITS THERMAL_NO_LIMITS> on all trips.
|
|
|
|
These limits are used when binding a cdev to a trip point.
|
2012-09-18 13:35:06 +08:00
|
|
|
.match: This call back returns success(0) if the 'tz and cdev' need to
|
|
|
|
be bound, as per platform data.
|
|
|
|
1.4.2 struct thermal_zone_params
|
|
|
|
This structure defines the platform level parameters for a thermal zone.
|
|
|
|
This data, for each thermal zone should come from the platform layer.
|
|
|
|
This is an optional feature where some platforms can choose not to
|
|
|
|
provide this data.
|
|
|
|
.governor_name: Name of the thermal governor used for this zone
|
2013-08-15 23:34:17 +08:00
|
|
|
.no_hwmon: a boolean to indicate if the thermal to hwmon sysfs interface
|
|
|
|
is required. when no_hwmon == false, a hwmon sysfs interface
|
|
|
|
will be created. when no_hwmon == true, nothing will be done.
|
|
|
|
In case the thermal_zone_params is NULL, the hwmon interface
|
|
|
|
will be created (for backward compatibility).
|
2012-09-18 13:35:06 +08:00
|
|
|
.num_tbps: Number of thermal_bind_params entries for this zone
|
|
|
|
.tbp: thermal_bind_params entries
|
|
|
|
|
2008-01-17 15:51:08 +08:00
|
|
|

|
|
RW read/write value
|
|
|
|
|
2008-04-22 08:50:09 +08:00
|
|
|
Thermal sysfs attributes will be represented under /sys/class/thermal.
|
|
|
|
Hwmon sysfs I/F extension is also available under /sys/class/hwmon
|
|
|
|

4. Event Notification
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The framework includes a simple notification mechanism, in the form of a
|
|
|
|
netlink event. Netlink socket initialization is done during the _init_
|
|
|
|
of the framework. Drivers which intend to use the notification mechanism
|
2011-11-04 17:31:04 +08:00
|
|
|
just need to call thermal_generate_netlink_event() with two arguments viz
|
2013-01-02 23:29:39 +08:00
|
|
|
(originator, event). The originator is a pointer to struct thermal_zone_device
|
|
|
|
from where the event has been originated. An integer which represents the
|
|
|
|
thermal zone device will be used in the message to identify the zone. The
|
2010-10-27 06:03:29 +08:00
|
|
|
event will be one of:{THERMAL_AUX0, THERMAL_AUX1, THERMAL_CRITICAL,
|
|
|
|
THERMAL_DEV_FAULT}. Notification can be sent when the current temperature
|
|
|
|
crosses any of the configured thresholds.

5. Export Symbol APIs:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5.1: get_tz_trend:
|
|
|
|
This function returns the trend of a thermal zone, i.e the rate of change
|
|
|
|
of temperature of the thermal zone. Ideally, the thermal sensor drivers
|
|
|
|
are supposed to implement the callback. If they don't, the thermal
|
|
|
|
framework calculated the trend by comparing the previous and the current
|
|
|
|
temperature values.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5.2:get_thermal_instance:
|
|
|
|
This function returns the thermal_instance corresponding to a given
|
|
|
|
{thermal_zone, cooling_device, trip_point} combination. Returns NULL
|
|
|
|
if such an instance does not exist.
|
|
|
|
|
2013-04-24 05:48:14 +08:00
|
|
|
5.3:thermal_notify_framework:
|
2012-09-18 13:35:06 +08:00
|
|
|
This function handles the trip events from sensor drivers. It starts
|
|
|
|
throttling the cooling devices according to the policy configured.
|
|
|
|
For CRITICAL and HOT trip points, this notifies the respective drivers,
|
|
|
|
and does actual throttling for other trip points i.e ACTIVE and PASSIVE.
|
|
|
|
The throttling policy is based on the configured platform data; if no
|
|
|
|
platform data is provided, this uses the step_wise throttling policy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5.4:thermal_cdev_update:
|
|
|
|
This function serves as an arbitrator to set the state of a cooling
|
|
|
|
device. It sets the cooling device to the deepest cooling state if
|
|
|
|
possible.

6. thermal_emergency_poweroff:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On an event of critical trip temperature crossing. Thermal framework
|
|
|
|
allows the system to shutdown gracefully by calling orderly_poweroff().
|
|
|
|
In the event of a failure of orderly_poweroff() to shut down the system
|
|
|
|
we are in danger of keeping the system alive at undesirably high
|
|
|
|
temperatures. To mitigate this high risk scenario we program a work
|
|
|
|
queue to fire after a pre-determined number of seconds to start
|
|
|
|
an emergency shutdown of the device using the kernel_power_off()
|
|
|
|
function. In case kernel_power_off() fails then finally
|
|
|
|
emergency_restart() is called in the worst case.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The delay should be carefully profiled so as to give adequate time for
|
|
|
|
orderly_poweroff(). In case of failure of an orderly_poweroff() the
|
|
|
|
emergency poweroff kicks in after the delay has elapsed and shuts down
|
|
|
|
the system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If set to 0 emergency poweroff will not be supported. So a carefully
|
|
|
|
profiled non-zero positive value is a must for emergerncy poweroff to be
|
|
|
|
triggered.
