26Description
27-----------
28
29This driver permits reading the DTS (Digital Temperature Sensor) embedded
30inside Intel CPUs. This driver can read both the per-core and per-package
31temperature using the appropriate sensors. The per-package sensor is new;
32as of now, it is present only in the SandyBridge platform. The driver will
33show the temperature of all cores inside a package under a single device
34directory inside hwmon.
35
36Temperature is measured in degrees Celsius and measurement resolution is
371 degree C. Valid temperatures are from 0 to TjMax degrees C, because
38the actual value of temperature register is in fact a delta from TjMax.
39
40Temperature known as TjMax is the maximum junction temperature of processor,
41which depends on the CPU model. See table below. At this temperature, protection
42mechanism will perform actions to forcibly cool down the processor. Alarm
43may be raised, if the temperature grows enough (more than TjMax) to trigger
44the Out-Of-Spec bit. Following table summarizes the exported sysfs files:
45
46All Sysfs entries are named with their core_id (represented here by 'X').
47
48================= ========================================================
49tempX_input	  Core temperature (in millidegrees Celsius).
50tempX_max	  All cooling devices should be turned on (on Core2).
51tempX_crit	  Maximum junction temperature (in millidegrees Celsius).
52tempX_crit_alarm  Set when Out-of-spec bit is set, never clears.
53		  Correct CPU operation is no longer guaranteed.
54tempX_label	  Contains string "Core X", where X is processor
55		  number. For Package temp, this will be "Physical id Y",
56		  where Y is the package number.
57================= ========================================================
58
59On CPU models which support it, TjMax is read from a model-specific register.
60On other models, it is set to an arbitrary value based on weak heuristics.
61If these heuristics don't work for you, you can pass the correct TjMax value
62as a module parameter (tjmax).
