Will be difficult to find a developer motivated to write a driver for 2
users of 2006 hardware, I'm afraid. Do you have anything to offer in
return? I have a wishlist:
http://khali.linux-fr.org/wishlist.html
Meanwhile I've added detection support to sensors-detect:
http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/misc/sensors-detect
If you could test and report, that would be great. Proper detection of
the chip may bring more user requests to support the chip (although the
old age of the chip makes this event rather unlikely.)
A register dump of the chip would be welcome too. You can obtain it by
loading the i2c-dev kernel driver and running i2cdump (from the
i2c-tools package):
# modprobe i2c-dev
# i2cdump N 0x2e
where N is the i2c bus number displayed by sensors-detect, and 0x2e the
actual chip address on that bus (can be one of 0x2c, 0x2d or 0x2e.)
While the EMC6W201 is a pretty complex chip with many advanced
features, basic monitoring of voltages, fans and temperatures shouldn't
be that hard to implement.
Ric, out of curiosity, are you still interested in EMC6W201 support?

I looked at your wishlist, and at the moment, I've only got
one or two short RJ45 cables and possiblye and HDMI cable,
but I'd have to check if its male/male. Might be able to
come up with more from your list at a later time.

This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need
to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe
and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions,
unless you know what you're doing.
Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers contain embedded sensors.
Do you want to scan for them? This is totally safe. (YES/no):
Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595... No
VIA VT82C686 Integrated Sensors... No
VIA VT8231 Integrated Sensors... No
AMD K8 thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 10h thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 11h thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 12h and 14h thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 15h thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 15h power sensors... No
Intel digital thermal sensor... No
Intel AMB FB-DIMM thermal sensor... No
VIA C7 thermal sensor... No
VIA Nano thermal sensor... No
Some Super I/O chips contain embedded sensors. We have to write to
standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.
Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no):
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f
Trying family `National Semiconductor/ITE'... No
Trying family `SMSC'... Yes
Found `SMSC EMC2700LPC Super IO'
(no information available)
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x4e/0x4f
Trying family `National Semiconductor/ITE'... No
Trying family `SMSC'... No
Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Nuvoton/Fintek'... No
Trying family `ITE'... No
Some systems (mainly servers) implement IPMI, a set of common interfaces
through which system health data may be retrieved, amongst other things.
We first try to get the information from SMBIOS. If we don't find it
there, we have to read from arbitrary I/O ports to probe for such
interfaces. This is normally safe. Do you want to scan for IPMI
interfaces? (YES/no):
Probing for `IPMI BMC KCS' at 0xca0... No
Probing for `IPMI BMC SMIC' at 0xca8... No
Some hardware monitoring chips are accessible through the ISA I/O ports.
We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually
safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any
ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (YES/no):
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' at 0x290... No
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79' at 0x290... No
Probing for `Winbond W83781D' at 0x290... No
Probing for `Winbond W83782D' at 0x290... No
Lastly, we can probe the I2C/SMBus adapters for connected hardware
monitoring devices. This is the most risky part, and while it works
reasonably well on most systems, it has been reported to cause trouble
on some systems.
Do you want to probe the I2C/SMBus adapters now? (YES/no):

Next adapter: NVIDIA i2c adapter (i2c-0)

Sorry, no sensors were detected.
Either your system has no sensors, or they are not supported, or
they are connected to an I2C or SMBus adapter that is not
supported. If you find out what chips are on your board, check
http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices for driver status.

Thanks Jean for your reply and a possible glimmer of hope.
If I come up with anything wish-list I'll let you know AND
if you need any more info from my machine, I'll try to
come up with it.
Thanks for your reply!

When I looked at a copy of sent mail on my previous message,
I noticed sedit (I still prefer exmh) or some subsequent
action messed up the formatting of the two data files
I included, so I will include them as attachments here,
and you'll be able to read them better (especially the
i2cdump output).
Thanks again --

FWIW: I installed the i8kutils and driver and forceloaded the driver.
They seem to be able to read the fan speeds, but not the CPU
temperature. So, there is some code around that works with
this machine, but not entirely. That may be a place to look too.

This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need
to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe
and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions,
unless you know what you're doing.
Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers contain embedded sensors.
Do you want to scan for them? This is totally safe. (YES/no): Module cpuid loaded successfully.
Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595... No
VIA VT82C686 Integrated Sensors... No
VIA VT8231 Integrated Sensors... No
AMD K8 thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 10h thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 11h thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 12h and 14h thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 15h thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 15h power sensors... No
Intel digital thermal sensor... No
Intel AMB FB-DIMM thermal sensor... No
VIA C7 thermal sensor... No
VIA Nano thermal sensor... No
Some Super I/O chips contain embedded sensors. We have to write to
standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.
Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f
Trying family `National Semiconductor/ITE'... No
Trying family `SMSC'... Yes
Found `SMSC EMC2700LPC Super IO'
(no information available)

Trying family `National Semiconductor/ITE'... No
Trying family `SMSC'... No
Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Nuvoton/Fintek'... No
Trying family `ITE'... No
Some systems (mainly servers) implement IPMI, a set of common interfaces
through which system health data may be retrieved, amongst other things.
We first try to get the information from SMBIOS. If we don't find it
there, we have to read from arbitrary I/O ports to probe for such
interfaces. This is normally safe. Do you want to scan for IPMI
interfaces? (YES/no): Probing for `IPMI BMC KCS' at 0xca0... No
Probing for `IPMI BMC SMIC' at 0xca8... No
Some hardware monitoring chips are accessible through the ISA I/O ports.
We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually
safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any
ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (YES/no): Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' at 0x290... No
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79' at 0x290... No
Probing for `Winbond W83781D' at 0x290... No
Probing for `Winbond W83782D' at 0x290... No
Lastly, we can probe the I2C/SMBus adapters for connected hardware
monitoring devices. This is the most risky part, and while it works
reasonably well on most systems, it has been reported to cause trouble
on some systems.
Do you want to probe the I2C/SMBus adapters now? (YES/no): Using driver `i2c-i801' for device 0000:00:1f.3: Intel 82801EB ICH5
Module i2c-i801 loaded successfully.

Sorry, no sensors were detected.
Either your system has no sensors, or they are not supported, or
they are connected to an I2C or SMBus adapter that is not
supported. If you find out what chips are on your board, check
http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices for driver status.

I found just now in the list archives that you had been reporting all
the requested data back on April 14th. For some reason I never received
any of the 3 replies you sent that day :( So sorry for the delay...
Anyway, my detection code was too strict, as it seems you have the
second revision of the EMC6W201 and my code only detected the first
one. I've committed a fixed version of the detection code, successfully
tested on the dump you sent, so I know it works.
I've also updated the entry in wiki/Devices. Hopefully this will get
other owners of this chip, if any, to report to us.

Huh. I don't know if this is good news... If the BIOS gets the fan
speeds from the EMC6W201, then we will get a resource conflict if you
try using a native driver for the EMC6W201. If the BIOS gets the fan
speeds from somewhere else, then a native driver for the EMC6W201 may
not be that useful to you. D'oh.

I didn't know if that would be helpful or not. Since my machine isn't
i8k, I'm not keen to use it, but I though the fact it got fan info
might be helpful without really knowing how it got the data.
I can hope for an lm-sensors driver...
Thanks again!

I have attached a single text file containing output from
"sensors-detect" Version 5968 and an "i2cdump". My i2cdump looks
different compared to Harry's output. My Dell Precision 670 is running
the A07 BIOS, last public version that I know of.

Some systems (mainly servers) implement IPMI, a set of common interfaces
through which system health data may be retrieved, amongst other things.
We first try to get the information from SMBIOS. If we don't find it
there, we have to read from arbitrary I/O ports to probe for such
interfaces. This is normally safe. Do you want to scan for IPMI
interfaces? (YES/no):
Probing for `IPMI BMC KCS' at 0xca0... No
Probing for `IPMI BMC SMIC' at 0xca8... No
Some hardware monitoring chips are accessible through the ISA I/O ports.
We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually
safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any
ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (YES/no):

Lastly, we can probe the I2C/SMBus adapters for connected hardware
monitoring devices. This is the most risky part, and while it works
reasonably well on most systems, it has been reported to cause trouble
on some systems.

Thanks for your report. Third request for EMC6W201 support...
Your dump doesn't look too different from Harry's actually.

Oh, BTW, if you're using the i8k driver, you may want to give a try to
my modified version here:
http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/misc/i8k/
Generic instructions can be found here:
http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/misc/INSTALL
This version of the i8k driver has proper hwmon subsystem integration,
so whatever the i8k driver reports should show up in the output of
"sensors".

I found some time to work on EMC6W201 support and I have something for
you to test. My standalone driver for this chip can be downloaded from:
http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/misc/emc6w201/
You only need i2c-compat.h for kernels <= 2.6.32. I build-tested the
driver down to kernel 2.6.27, older kernels may or may not work.
emc6w201.conf is a template configuration file, copy to /etc/sensors.d
and add statements as needed. Generic build instructions are available
at:
http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/misc/INSTALL
At this point the driver only supports basic monitoring, in read-only
mode. It seems to work reasonably well on the dumps sent by Harry and
Jeff, but real hardware can behave differently.
Anyway, let me know how it goes.

Hi Jean --
Here is the output from /usr/bin/sensors with the
ecm6w201 driver you just gave us AND from the
new i8k driver you mentioned in an earlier e-mail today.
Thanks for your work on this!!!

This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need
to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe
and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions,
unless you know what you're doing.
Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers contain embedded sensors.
Do you want to scan for them? This is totally safe. (YES/no): Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595... No
VIA VT82C686 Integrated Sensors... No
VIA VT8231 Integrated Sensors... No
AMD K8 thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 10h thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 11h thermal sensors... No
Intel Core family thermal sensor... No
Intel Atom thermal sensor... No
Intel AMB FB-DIMM thermal sensor... No
VIA C7 thermal sensor... No
VIA Nano thermal sensor... No
Some Super I/O chips contain embedded sensors. We have to write to
standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.
Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f
Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No
Trying family `SMSC'... Yes
Found `SMSC EMC2700LPC Super IO'

Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No
Trying family `SMSC'... No
Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Nuvoton/Fintek'... No

Some systems (mainly servers) implement IPMI, a set of common interfaces

there, we have to read from arbitrary I/O ports to probe for such
interfaces. This is normally safe. Do you want to scan for IPMI
interfaces? (YES/no): Probing for `IPMI BMC KCS' at 0xca0... No
Probing for `IPMI BMC SMIC' at 0xca8... No
Some hardware monitoring chips are accessible through the ISA I/O ports.
We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually
safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any
ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (YES/no): Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' at 0x290... No

Probing for `Winbond W83781D' at 0x290... No
Probing for `Winbond W83782D' at 0x290... No
Lastly, we can probe the I2C/SMBus adapters for connected hardware
monitoring devices. This is the most risky part, and while it works
reasonably well on most systems, it has been reported to cause trouble
on some systems.

Sorry, no sensors were detected.
Either your system has no sensors, or they are not supported, or
they are connected to an I2C or SMBus adapter that is not
supported. If you find out what chips are on your board, check
http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices for driver status.

Hi Jean --
I spent a fair amount of time playing with the emc6w201 you mentioned
above. I wanted to let you know that it seems to be working really
well. It's an absolutely amazing relief to have this after all this time!
All the apps I've tried that depend on it seem to work fine.
For the time being I've left out emc6w201.conf from sensors.d
in case you do some more fine tuning of anything.
I have labels for temp1, temp5, and temp6; and fan1 and fan3
seem to be the fans that were reported by hddtemp.
Are you planning on any further changes? If so, I'll wait
before putting my .conf file in sensors.d.
Thanks a bundle!
Harry McGavran

I just tried out the "i8k.c" code from the link shown above. I still get
a crash in Syslog and messages on the Console when loading the new
module. The machine still runs so the crash doesn't appear to be "fatal".
My testing steps:
(1) Completely remove the "i8k" module supplied by Fedora to a "safe"
location. It is not being used on my machine per "lsmod".
(2) Run "depmod -a"
(3) Build the new "i8k" module, but leave it where it is built
(4) Reboot, just to be certain the legacy "i8k" module isn't being loaded
(5) Copy the new "i8k" module to /lib/modules/`uname
-r`/kernel/drivers/hwmon
(6) Run "depmod -a" again
(7) Run "modprobe -v i8k"
At this point I get Console messages and a crashdump to Syslog. See
attached text file for details.
With the new "i8k" module loaded per "lsmod", a "lock up" occurs when
accessing the I2C bus in "sensors-detect" version 5946. A "ctrl-C" is
required to get the script running again. Output at the lock up follows:
Using driver 'i2c-i801' for device 0000:00:1f.3 Intel 82801EB ICH5
Module i2c-dev loaded successfully.
I can sit and wait on this output for minutes unless I issue a "ctrl-C"
to continue script processing. That is not normal behavior.
Harry, is your Dell machine a single CPU or a dual-CPU system? Also,
what Dell BIOS version are you using? I'm curious to know what is
different. My system has 2 physical Intel Xeon 3.0 GHz cpu that are also
hyperthreaded. My Dell BIOS is A07; "dmidecode" will reflect that in
"Handle 0x000" and so will a machine reboot. There is 2G of DRAM
onboard. I am running Fedora Core 14 x86_64. "uname -a" output follows:
Linux xx.xx.xx.xx 2.6.35.12-90.fc14.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Apr 22 16:01:29

This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need
to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe
and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions,
unless you know what you're doing.
Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers contain embedded sensors.
Do you want to scan for them? This is totally safe. (YES/no):
Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595... No
VIA VT82C686 Integrated Sensors... No
VIA VT8231 Integrated Sensors... No
AMD K8 thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 10h thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 11h thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 12h and 14h thermal sensors... No
Intel digital thermal sensor... No
Intel AMB FB-DIMM thermal sensor... No
VIA C7 thermal sensor... No
VIA Nano thermal sensor... No
Some Super I/O chips contain embedded sensors. We have to write to
standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.
Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no):
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f
Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No
Trying family `SMSC'... Yes
Found `SMSC EMC2700LPC Super IO'
(no information available)
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x4e/0x4f
Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No
Trying family `SMSC'... No
Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Nuvoton/Fintek'... No
Trying family `ITE'... No
Some systems (mainly servers) implement IPMI, a set of common interfaces
through which system health data may be retrieved, amongst other things.
We first try to get the information from SMBIOS. If we don't find it
there, we have to read from arbitrary I/O ports to probe for such
interfaces. This is normally safe. Do you want to scan for IPMI
interfaces? (YES/no):
Probing for `IPMI BMC KCS' at 0xca0... No
Probing for `IPMI BMC SMIC' at 0xca8... No
Some hardware monitoring chips are accessible through the ISA I/O ports.
We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually
safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any
ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (YES/no):
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' at 0x290... No
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79' at 0x290... No
Probing for `Winbond W83781D' at 0x290... No
Probing for `Winbond W83782D' at 0x290... No
Lastly, we can probe the I2C/SMBus adapters for connected hardware
monitoring devices. This is the most risky part, and while it works
reasonably well on most systems, it has been reported to cause trouble
on some systems.
Do you want to probe the I2C/SMBus adapters now? (YES/no):
Using driver `i2c-i801' for device 0000:00:1f.3: Intel 82801EB ICH5
Module i2c-dev loaded successfully.
[^C required at this point for script to continue...not normal]
Next adapter: nouveau-0000:05:00.0-0 (i2c-0)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively):
Next adapter: nouveau-0000:05:00.0-1 (i2c-1)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively):
Next adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at ece0 (i2c-2)

Sorry, no sensors were detected.
Either your system has no sensors, or they are not supported, or
they are connected to an I2C or SMBus adapter that is not
supported. If you find out what chips are on your board, check

Did you try loading this original i8k driver? Did it work? What are the
contents of /proc/i8k then?
If the original works and mine fails, please send me the two .ko files
in private and I'll try to figure out how they differ. Even better if
you can get the exact kernel sources used by Fedora to build your
running kernel so that I can also compare the source code (the source
file is drivers/misc/i8k.c in the kernel tree.)

Note that you could simply use insmod with full path to the new module,
so you don't have to install it.

With the kernel crash you got, it's nor surprising that anything
related to kernel module loading or unloading will hang.

Note if you (Jeff) can give me the output of "uname -a" I can quite easily
get the matching kernel sources and send Jean the i8k.c from that exact
version (assuming you're not running some homebrewn kernel).
In case you're wondering how, what I would do is go to koji (the Fedora
buildsystem):
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/
Search for kernel, go to the kernel you're running, download an install
the src.rpm, and do a "rpmbuild -bp kernel.spec", which will extract the
sources, apply all patches and then exit (it will do the %prep fase of
the spec file). And then I've an exploded source tree, with the exact
sources used to build your kernel.
Regards,
Hans

I presume that you had to pass force=1 or ignore_dmi=1 or both to get
the i8k driver to load at all?
The output above revealed a bug in my version of the i8k driver, the
-22 is really an error code (EINVAL) and not a temperature, so it
should be reported as such. Did you ever see a valid temperature
reported? If it's always wrong, I guess the driver shouldn't create the
entry in the first place. I've just fixed that, you can download the
updated driver.
As for the fan speed values, they are off by a factor 30. Load the i8k
driver with option fan_mult=1 (the default is 30) and you'll get correct
fan speeds. You'll notice these are the same speeds as reported by the
emc6w201 driver. This is good because it means both drivers are working
fine, but this is also bad because it means that both drivers poke at
the same piece of hardware. So you should really only use i8k, or
emc6w201, but not both drivers at the same time.

This looks pretty good, I'd say. I guess you have a single CPU in the
machine, which explains the missing in5 and temp2. in1 would be the CPU
core voltage, and temp1 the CPU temperature. If the machine is using
DDR2 memory, in0 may be the memory voltage. This would leave maybe in4
for +12V, with scaling factor 8, or for battery voltage with scaling
factor 2. BTW, does the BIOS print any temperature, voltage or fan
speed? This would help us get the labels and scaling factors right.

I guess you mean i8k, not hddtemp. And yes, I agree, see my warning in
a previous reply.
If/when you have a good configuration file for your system, please
share it and I'll put it on the wiki.

Further possible improvements to the driver would be extra features
(e.g. temperature offsets, alarm bits, maybe fan control.) The
monitoring part should be as good as we can get already, so I don't
expect any change that would cause incompatibilities in the
configuration file.
BTW, you can test your configuration file with "sensors -c" first, and
only copy it to /etc/sensors.d/ when you're happy with the results.
This avoids doing the tuning work as root.

You're welcome. Wish list below - hint hint ;)

[testing with original "i8k" module]
(1) Removed new "i8k" module from /lib/modules tree
(2) Checked "/proc/i8k". No such file or directory
(3) Copied original "i8k" module back to it's location in:
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/drivers/char
(4) Ran "depmod -a"
(5) Rebooted PC to obtain known stable state
After reboot...
(6) Checked "/proc/i8k". No such file or directory
(7) Checked "lsmod". "i8k" is not loaded
(8) Attempted to load original "i8k" but it crashed.
Crash output is attached.
(9) Rechecked "/proc/i8k". No such file or directory
(10) Rebooted PC to return to known stable state
I sent along my "uname -a" output to Hans so he could locate the correct
source files to send to you privately. I bet he can find the correct
source code files and mail them faster than I can, but I will try.
As for the system kernel, I am running a "stock as delivered by Fedora"
kernel; I did not do any recompiling or anything else to it. I loaded
the following Fedora "packages" via "yum":
kernel-devel
kernel-headers
make
gcc
Those "packages" were all I needed to compile your "i8k.c" file using
the "Makefile" also found in the same folder. Again, nothing special here.

This means that my changes aren't responsible for the crash, nor is the
fact of building the driver standalone. So I will leave it to the
Fedora kernel maintainers to resolve, if you care and if they are
interested.

Hi Jean (and others) ---
This morning I got up to find a number of messages in this thread.
I will comment in some of the queries made of me in it so that
people have the info, but it looks like things are pretty good anyway.
I have a single CPU Dell 670 with the A07 BIOS. I'm running Ubuntu Lucid
with the 2.6.32-31 kernel.
I didn't have any trouble with i2c_dev, i2c_801, the new i8k or
emc6w201.
I've now uninstalled the i8kutils package and i8k, and am using
only libsensors to monitor with. I'm guessing i8k really applies
only to Dell Insirion Laptops, but in any event emc6w201 gives
me everything in a much easier way to deal with.
Thanks again Jean! (I'm keeping your hints list at hand...)

What Harry's comments tell me is the original "i8k" code lacks
appropriate code to operate in a SMP environment. I think the Console
messages are trying to say that for "non-programmers" like myself.
Note these differences:
- Harry has a single CPU; I have 2 CPU.
- We both run the same Dell BIOS A07 code.
- Harry's Linux kernel is slightly older than my 2.6.35.12-90 Fedora code.
- I think we would all agree that Jean's changes do not cause my crash
since that code works on Harry's machine but not on mine.
Time permitting, I will start doing the research to submit a properly
documented bug against Fedora Core 14 regarding this code. I suspect
this issue will also reside in FC15 so that is another point to check if
time allows. jean raises the real question: does anyone in the Fedora
team want to fix this?
In closing, I agree with Harry: it is very nice to have some hardware
monitoring in a Dell platform.

This is a valuable observation. I presume that these CPUs are too old
to be multicore, best they could have it hyperthreading. Harry, can you
please share the contents of /proc/cpuinfo?
Jeff, could you please try booting with parameter max_cpus=1? I wonder
if it would make a difference. If it does, that would confirm your
theory.

I've seen this nug hit an openSUSE user (on a laptop with one
multi-core CPU), so it's definitely not specific to Fedora. It may be
related to the version of gcc used by the distribution though. If
Fedora people aren't interested, we may open a bug on
bugzilla.kernel.org instead.

I'm glad you like it :)

Interesting... Your CPU is slightly more recent than Jeff's (stepping
10 instead of 1), both advertise HT but yours has it disabled. Maybe
there's an option in the BIOS to enable or disable HT? Or maybe Linux
didn't like HT for some reason (in which case it should say so in the
boot messages.)
It also seems like Jeff has CPUfreq enabled on his system and you do
not. It's unrelated to hardware monitoring, but for the sake of power
savings, it might be worth investigating.

I don't see anything about HT in the boot messages.
I didn't change anything in the BIOS regarding the CPU from
whatever the defaults are. I don't remember seeing any
options for HT (or CPUfreq) in the BIOS and I haven't
changed anything in Linux from the Ubuntu Lucid default distro
regarding either HT or CPUfreq...

If I run cpufreq-selector as root, I get:
No cpufreq support

More likely the BIOS. I have several Dell systems with HT CPU, and the BIOS always
offers the option to disable it.

I just checked and I've never installed any of the CPUfreq packages.
They were not installed by default and hence that's why it's disabled.
There certainly could be some power savings with it.

I checked for any packages that could manipulate the CPU frequency. I
only found "cpuspeed". I removed the "cpuspeed" package and rebooted to
ensure a known state. Attempting to install the "stock i8k" module
causes a crash. Reboot to return to known state.
I changed the "maxcpus=4" in "grub.conf" to "maxcpus=1". Reboot.
Attempt to load "stock i8k" module. Crash. "/proc/cpuinfo" shows 1 CPU.
Return system to previous configuration with "cpuspeed" and reboot.
My only other choice would be to physically pull CPU2, leaving CPU1 in
the system, but we know that config should work based on Harry's testing.

In the case of Fedora I only have to load the "cpuspeed" package. Then I
edit the "/etc/sysconfig/cpuspeed" file to add:
GOVERNOR=userspace [field is 'GOVERNOR=' by default]
MAX_SPEED= (value) [field is 'MAX_SPEED=' by default]
MIN_SPEED= (value) [field is 'MIN_SPEED=' by default]
The speed values are copied directly from
"/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies"
where "cpu*" is any CPU you wish to examine. Also, "cat
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies" will
display output for all CPUs, one line per CPU.
Supported GOVERNORs can be found in
"/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/scaling_available_governors"
"cpuspeed" seems to work fine for me. My CPUs scale from 375MHz up to
3GHz as needed based on load on the system. With "cpuspeed" removed,
both CPU blocks run at full speed all the time. So there should be a
power saving.

Forgot to add....
The crashdump info looked the same in all cases. The Console messages
looked the same in all cases...complaint about SMP.

Care to try again with maxcpus=0? I seem to recall that this disables
even more of SMP than maxcpus=1 does.

We don't, actually. You have different software environments and maybe
different BIOS options. And not exactly the same hardware either...
But I totally understand that you don't want to physically remove the
second CPU. I'm not even sure if that would help.
OTOH, if you see an option in the BIOS to disable HT, that would be
worth trying.

Slightly different crash with "maxcpus=0". See attached.
I will have to go the that office to change the BIOS in that machine for
retest. It could be a few days.

lahf is present in the assembly block inside the driver in i8k_smm; lahf
moves the lowest byte of eflags into ah.
Wikipedia[1] tells me that:
Early AMD64 and Intel 64 CPUs lacked LAHF and SAHF instructions. AMD
introduced the instructions with their Athlon 64, Opteron and Turion 64
revision D processors in March 2005 while Intel introduced
the instructions with the Pentium 4 G1 stepping in December 2005.
Jeff's CPU does indeed lack lahf (see cpuinfo), so the driver should not
unconditionally use the intruction.
The driver should check X86_FEATURE_LAHF_LM or use use a different
method to read EFLAFS (pushf?).
drivers/char/toshiba.c (tosh_smm) also suffers from the same issue.

The driver uses lahf to copy the lowest byte of EFLAGS to eax, then
shifts it to right and test the lowest bit (CF).
Using pushf instead we get the whole EFLAGS and test the lowest bit.
Does it make sense? Someone should double check the patch, I don't trust
my assembly skills ;)

I think you meant pushf, not pusfh, right?

I am no asm expert, but I don't get why you removed the shrl
instruction. As I understand it, your pushf+popl replaces only lahf,
the bit shifting is still needed (I assume the code wants to test bit 8
in the flag register.)

AFAIK lahf loads the lowest byte of EFLAGS into AH which is the upper
half of AX, hence the shift.
The popl is wrong though, pushf only pushes 2 bytes... so let's try
again:

Yes, you're right, of course. So much for my asm skills. Please return
the brown paper bag to me when you're done ;)

Looks reasonable. I can't test it as I don't have the hardware, but I
have updated the driver at:
http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/misc/i8k/
with the above fix. Jeff, Harry, can you test?
Thanks,

Yes, you're right, of course. So much for my asm skills. Please return
the brown paper bag to me when you're done ;)

Looks reasonable. I can't test it as I don't have the hardware, but I
have updated the driver at:
http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/misc/i8k/
with the above fix. Jeff, Harry, can you test?

Preliminary feedback...seeing new errors. New "i8k" module reporting 'no
such device' when inserted. More details to follow when I finish testing
and capture outputs.

I will guess that this detection issue is not due to the changes made by
Jean and Luca. This module may be at a dead end for my hardware.

Thanks for the investigation, BTW... Brilliant!

That one currently depends on X86_32, which I seem to understand is
unaffected by the bug. But if this driver is ever extended to work on
64-bit machines, then yes, care will be needed.

Hum, maybe my change is not correct. It should be possible to verify
to functionality of the patch on Harry's machine

This is not a fatal error, you may still see interesting things
in /proc/i8k or the output of "sensors". Although Harry's report makes
it unlikely...

Harry already reported:
"This new i8k crashes on my machine, the old one does not."
This suggests that your patch is indeed not correct, however it looks
good to me so I don't know what else to suggest.

This is bad news. Can you tell us more? Maybe a backtrace in the logs
when the crash happens? The full error message would be useful.

Ok, this is bad :)
Do you get something interesting in the kernel log?

The latest i8k insmod's ok, but when I run /usr/bin/sensors
after loading it I get the emc report and then the i8k report.
Right after sensors prints the i8k line and just before
it would give me the sensors info I get a segfault
from something related to the app, maybe /usr/bin/sensors
itself, but the window where the command is typed is frozen.
No keyboard interrupts will stop it, one has to kill the
window to stop /usr/bin/sensors. At that point other windows
are still active. There are no messages in the /var/log/messages,
syslog, or daemon log about it. As root if I try to rmmod i8k
that hangs in the same way. Ps reports that the rmmod
is in some kind of wait state and that is not interuptable either.
A reboot is the only way to clear it up.
emc6w201 seems to depend on i2c_801 and i2c_dev which I believe
i8k does as well, so I didn't load any other modules except i8k.
I had removed the Ubuntu i8kutils package as I'm no longer using i8k,
and perhaps there is some module in that package that the i8k module
needs -- I didn't check. That might be the reason, but I was guessing
the i8k modules dependencies were the came as emc6w201's.
There was nothing in the logs about any of this and no core file
for whatever is segfaulting. The only error message is the "segmentation fault"
after the /usr/bin/sensors i8k announcement line.

There is a soft dependency between i2c-i801 and emc6w201, in that the
former is needed for the latter to reach the monitoring device, yes.
i2c-dev isn't needed other than for sensors-detect and debugging.

i8k doesn't depend on any other kernel module.

No, i8kutils contains a user-space helper for the i8k module, and
that's all. My changes to the i8k make it partly useless (on purpose).

You can check with "ulimit -c" if a core dump will be written on
segmentation fault. But it could be that no core is written because the
problem is in i8k itself and not in the user-space application.
Unfortunately I have no idea how to investigate this further. This
makes me feel sad because Luca's findings were very promising :(

Jean, these are very interesting questions. I got a crash message on the
Console and found a lengthy (~70 lines) dump in Syslog. Like last time,
assembly coding skills will be required to figure it out. Sensors output
tells me I have to run "sensors-detect". Output attached.

I went back through the logs to make sure there was nothing
about the latest i8k in them. Actually I found only ONE
line in syslog:
May 11 11:07:12 XX kernel: [173400.479332] [<ffffffffa00613f2>]
i8k_hwmon_show_fan+0x32/0x40 [i8k]
So, presumably set segfault occurs right after that....
But, maybe it's a clue for Jean or someone...

There is a soft dependency between i2c-i801 and emc6w201, in that the
former is needed for the latter to reach the monitoring device, yes.
i2c-dev isn't needed other than for sensors-detect and debugging.

i8k doesn't depend on any other kernel module.

No, i8kutils contains a user-space helper for the i8k module, and
that's all. My changes to the i8k make it partly useless (on purpose).

You can check with "ulimit -c" if a core dump will be written on
segmentation fault. But it could be that no core is written because the
problem is in i8k itself and not in the user-space application.
Unfortunately I have no idea how to investigate this further. This
makes me feel sad because Luca's findings were very promising :(

Ok, this is consistent with the hung program reported by Jeff, there's
an error at kernel level while the sensor is being read.
AMD64 Architecture Manual says that:
(pushf) In 64-bit mode, this instruction defaults to a 64-bit operand
size and there is no prefix available to encode a 32-bit operand size.
so my patch may be corrupting the stack. Lets try like this:
diff --git a/drivers/char/i8k.c b/drivers/char/i8k.c
index d72433f..ee01716 100644
--- a/drivers/char/i8k.c

If it still doesn't work we should involve someone who actually has a

D'oh. I suspected something like this, but given that pushfq exists, I
assumed pushf had to be different. I guess I shouldn't have assumed...

Hopefully it will work OK this time. I've updated the driver at:

As said before, you'd need option fan_mult=1 to get proper readings.
But well, in the long run I guess you'll stop using i8k anyway, as it
provides fewer values than the emc6w201 driver.

Looks very promising. Now let's wait for Jeff's report.

Yes, I just did "insmod i8k.ko" without any options.
BTW, you had said in an earlier e-mail that you though
I'd have to pass force=1 or ignore_dmi=1 to get i8k to
load, but I never needed either of these.
This i8k seems to work fine, but the emc6w201 driver
does what I really need (almost) much much better.
Thanks again!

As said before, you'd need option fan_mult=1 to get proper readings.
But well, in the long run I guess you'll stop using i8k anyway, as it
provides fewer values than the emc6w201 driver.

Looks very promising. Now let's wait for Jeff's report.

I have promising results; no crash messages. "sensors" out that shows
N/A. See attached.
I still need to use the "force" option or else I get the "no such
device" error message. See attached.

That's good enough as far as I'm concerned. The driver wasn't written
for this machine, it happens to work on Harry's, good for him, but as
long as the driver doesn't crash, that's fine with me. If you see N/A
in the output of "sensors" because the driver doesn't get any value
from the BIOS (cat /proc/i8k will certainly return many -22s.) Why it
works on Harry's machine and not on yours while they seem pretty
similar is certainly strange, but that's out of scope for me.
So, thanks Jeff and Harry for the testing on i8k, at least the assembly
code problem is solved. Luca, are you going to make a proper
submission, or should I handle it? I don't want to steal the credit
from you.

I'm certainly not a wiz on device drivers, but could it be
that the N/A's Jeff is getting have something to do with
that fact the he has to do the "force" insmod option to avoid
"no such device" errors.

Yes Harry this is certainly related. But I have no idea why he needs
the force and you don't.

What I was getting at was the "device" that was not found
might be the same device that fan data was obtained from.
It just seemed like a good hunch based of the fact that
the fan tachometer is a "device" and the module isn't
finding a "device." Granted there is no reason for the
"devices" to be the same. Coincidences are not all that
common so it was a guess.
