I can see that you are sending these two patches for quite some time
and I understand you'd like them to get finally reviewed and merged.
Unfortunately I simply don't have the time for this. So please don't
wait for my ack, just send your patches to Andrew Morton and hopefully
he will take care.

Re: [lm-sensors] [PATCH 1/2] hwmon: (coretemp) Detect the thermal sensors by CPUID

Hi Huaxu,

Thanks, works great, successfully tested it on an i7 machine.

I would propose to use dev_warn() instead of printk_once(), since all
other per-cpu info is also logged this way.

Hi Huaxu,

> The MSR IA32_TEMPERATURE_TARGET contains the TjMax value in the newer
> processers.
I took the liberty to make some very minor changes to your patch:
- Unified and adapted messages and comments
- Added a definition of MSR_IA32_TEMPERATURE_TARGET to the arch header
- Replaced 0x1a2 by MSR_IA32_TEMPERATURE_TARGET
- Applied changes suggested by checkpatch

Hope you like it.

That reminds me that dev_warn is right one on multiple CPU system, especially with different CPUs. Thank you.

The CPU, in the following case switch, may return no err at the above rdmsr. The
val is 0 with CPU model 0x0f in my test. The function should not return when
(val > 80 && val < 120) is false.

So we remove something that checks the CPU level for a model we *expect*
to find a thermal sensor, and only throws a KERN_WARNING if we're on a
model we don't know about...

And replace it with a totally unprotected check that's going to fire off
a KERN_WARNING on every single CPU that Intel ever made that doesn't
include a hardware thermal sensor - including all the family 0-5,
and model < 0x0e hardware.

KERN_WARNING is for "We expected to find the hardware but it's gone off
for a walk on us".  If you wanted to say "Hmm.. this CPU doesn't have one"
you probably wanted KERN_DEBUG or *maybe* KERN_INFO.

Oops! That's a bug. Thank you!

I think the better one is KERN_INFO here.

IMHO, it is better to drop that "!" since it is now a simple status message,
otherwise it still looks like there is something wrong with the CPU not
having a thermal sensor.

Minor thing, really, so feel free to ignore this comment.

[PATCH 0/2] hwmon: Update coretemp to current Intel processors

[Carsten Emde]

Hi!

Here comes the current version of the coretemp patches. Huaxu did the initial
work; Jean suggested to submit them directly to Andrew.

I made some style changes as advised by checkpatch.

The patches have been tested successfully on Core 2 Duo and Quad, and on
Nehalem and Nehalem/Westmere where temperature readings were plausible and
changed with load as expected. When tested on an Atom processor (N270), the
temperature values were identical to previous versions of the coretemp
module and also changed with load. However, the readings should be higher
by 10 to 15C as compared to the outside temperature of the processor. Huaxu,
could you check? I would guess TjMax to be 105 instead of 90C in these
processors.

        Carsten.

[PATCH 1/2] Detect the thermal sensors by CPUID

[Carsten Emde]

[-- Attachment #1: coretemp-simplify-intel-thermal-sensor-recognition.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2062 bytes --]

The thermal sensors of Intel(R) CPUs can be detected by CPUID instruction,
indicated by CPUID.06H.EAX[0].

Hmm, no. I am saying that I would like the reading to be correct. I have 
measured the outside temperature of the case with an infrared 
thermometer [1] and found it to be higher than the readings returned by 
the coretemp module. In all other CPUs I have, the coretemp readings are 
higher than the case temperature.

Yes, of course. I never wanted to use a guessed and not documented
value. I only wanted the temperature reading to be plausible.

They have the same CPU model ID:

# grep model /proc/cpuinfo
model		: 28
model name	: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N270   @ 1.60GHz

# grep model /proc/cpuinfo
model		: 28
model name	: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU  330   @ 1.60GHz

I would like to propose to use the patch as it is. It's the best
version we ever had.

Quoted a sentence from [1], "Unless specified otherwise, all specifications for 
the processor are at TJ = 90°C", I believe the TjMax of 330 is 90C too.

Hi Carsten,

I have no N270 and infrared thermometer in hand, so I can't check it by myself.
I'll find a channel and file this issue to them.

Well, that refers for the values in that specific table and entire
document (which I went through as well) does not specify TjMax :(
Similar document for N270 series does specify TjMax explicitly in Table 14:
http://download.intel.com/design/processor/datashts/320032.pdf

Another document, "Thermal and Mechanical Design Guidelines" for Atom
300 series:
http://download.intel.com/design/processor/designex/320530.pdf
specifies Tcase-max = 85.2C
Thinking about this a bit, I think Tcase-max should be lower than
TjMax, which probably is still 90C.
The document itself is a good reading too.

Anyway, thank you very much for your help, Huaxu!

I know that TjMax on my system is 85, and now coretemp reports wrong
temperatures.
First of all BIOS using stupid tricks actualy reports CPU temperature
through ACPI, and assuming it was correct TjMax is 85.
It also shuts down the system if I 'lie' to it that cpu temperature is
85C.

This is very interesting.

With TjMax 85C, the CPUs idle temperature is reported at around 45~50C
GPU temperature that is around 60C

BIOS also reports 45~50C.

BIOS hooks an SMI to CPU thermal report, and stores the temperature it
read in ram, then ACPI code reads it, reports and passes to the EC
(embedded controller).

If I write myself 85 to embedded controller, systems shuts down.
(values less that 85, eg 84 don't shut system).

Thats all I know.

Best regards,
Maxim Levitsky

Another clue is that right after resume from ram, after long delay
(~hour) the displayed temperature with TjMax 85 is 33C. Since room
temperature here is around 27C, this seems more plausible that 
33 + 15 = 48C

I'm occupied by other things, sorry for slow response. But, as said in a 
spec, I can't remember which one now, there are too many, the relative
value read from DTS is accurate approaching to TjMax. The accuracy
deteriorates to +-10C at 50C. Any DTS reading below 50C should be
considered to indicate only a temperature below 50C and not a specific
temperature.

So, the value around 50C can't be taken as real chip temperature. I
would like this issue could be confirmed by more users to avoid it as a 
particular case. At the meantime, I still looking for a laptop with T5450, 
this may take some time. 

Thanks

Could you found a Laptop with T5450 at hand? I can't found anywhere.

Hi, Maxim,

Could you send out thermal zone info under /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ*?

Thanks.
