Add the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as base
Import the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as OPNFV kvm base.
It's from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git linux-4.1.y-rt and
the base is:
commit 0917f823c59692d751951bf5ea699a2d1e2f26a2
Author: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>
Date: Sat Jul 25 12:13:34 2015 +0200
Prepare v4.1.3-rt3
Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>
We lose all the git history this way and it's not good. We
should apply another opnfv project repo in future.

Official documentation says that it works +from revision F of K8 core, but in fact it seems to be implemented for all +revisions of K8 except the first two revisions (SH-B0 and SH-B3). + +Please note that you will need at least lm-sensors 2.10.1 for proper userspace +support. + +There can be up to four temperature sensors inside single CPU. The driver +will auto-detect the sensors and will display only temperatures from +implemented sensors. + +Mapping of /sys files is as follows: + +temp1_input - temperature of Core 0 and "place" 0 +temp2_input - temperature of Core 0 and "place" 1 +temp3_input - temperature of Core 1 and "place" 0 +temp4_input - temperature of Core 1 and "place" 1 + +Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius and measurement resolution is +1 degree C. It is expected that future CPU will have better resolution. The +temperature is updated once a second. Valid temperatures are from -49 to +206 degrees C. + +Temperature known as TCaseMax was specified for processors up to revision E. +This temperature is defined as temperature between heat-spreader and CPU +case, so the internal CPU temperature supplied by this driver can be higher. +There is no easy way how to measure the temperature which will correlate +with TCaseMax temperature. + +For newer revisions of CPU (rev F, socket AM2) there is a mathematically +computed temperature called TControl, which must be lower than TControlMax. + +The relationship is following: + +temp1_input - TjOffset*2 < TControlMax, + +TjOffset is not yet exported by the driver, TControlMax is usually +70 degrees C. The rule of the thumb -> CPU temperature should not cross +60 degrees C too much. |
