This driver can read both the per-core and per-package +temperature using the appropriate sensors. The per-package sensor is new; +as of now, it is present only in the SandyBridge platform. The driver will +show the temperature of all cores inside a package under a single device +directory inside hwmon. + +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 processor, +which depends on the CPU model. See table below. At this temperature, protection +mechanism will perform actions to forcibly cool down the processor. 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: + +All Sysfs entries are named with their core_id (represented here by 'X'). + +================= ======================================================== +tempX_input Core temperature (in millidegrees Celsius). +tempX_max All cooling devices should be turned on (on Core2). +tempX_crit Maximum junction temperature (in millidegrees Celsius). +tempX_crit_alarm Set when Out-of-spec bit is set, never clears. + Correct CPU operation is no longer guaranteed. +tempX_label Contains string "Core X", where X is processor + number. For Package temp, this will be "Physical id Y", + where Y is the package number. +================= ======================================================== + +On CPU models which support it, TjMax is read from a model-specific register. +On other models, it is set to an arbitrary value based on weak heuristics. +If these heuristics don't work for you, you can pass the correct TjMax value +as a module parameter (tjmax). + +Appendix A.
