Kernel driver pkgtemp | ||
====================== | ||
|
||
Supported chips: | ||
* Intel family | ||
Prefix: 'pkgtemp' | ||
CPUID: | ||
Datasheet: Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual | ||
Volume 3A: System Programming Guide | ||
|
||
Author: Fenghua Yu | ||

Description | ||
----------- | ||
|
||
This driver permits reading package level temperature sensor embedded inside | ||
Intel CPU package. The sensors can be in core, uncore, memory controller, or | ||
other components in a package. The feature is first implemented in Intel Sandy | ||
Bridge platform. | ||
|
||
Temperature is measured in degrees Celsius and measurement resolution is | ||
1 degree C. Valid temperatures are from 0 to TjMax degrees C, because the actual | ||
value of temperature register is in fact a delta from TjMax. | ||
|
||
Temperature known as TjMax is the maximum junction temperature of package. | ||
We get this from MSR_IA32_TEMPERATURE_TARGET. If the MSR is not accessible, | ||
we define TjMax as 100 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, protection | ||
mechanism will perform actions to forcibly cool down the package. Alarm | ||
may be raised, if the temperature grows enough (more than TjMax) to trigger | ||
the Out-Of-Spec bit. Following table summarizes the exported sysfs files: | ||
|
||
temp1_input - Package temperature (in millidegrees Celsius). | ||
temp1_max - All cooling devices should be turned on. | ||
temp1_crit - Maximum junction temperature (in millidegrees Celsius). | ||
temp1_crit_alarm - Set when Out-of-spec bit is set, never clears. | ||
Correct CPU operation is no longer guaranteed. |
