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

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.

It also +has an I2C bus, but this driver only supports the hardware monitor. For the +I2C bus driver see i2c-sis5595. + +The SiS5595 implements zero or one temperature sensor, two fan speed +sensors, four or five voltage sensors, and alarms. + +On the first version of the chip, there are four voltage sensors and one +temperature sensor. + +On the second version of the chip, the temperature sensor (temp) and the +fifth voltage sensor (in4) share a pin which is configurable, but not +through the driver. Sorry. The driver senses the configuration of the pin, +which was hopefully set by the BIOS. + +Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. An alarm is triggered once +when the max is crossed; it is also triggered when it drops below the min +value. Measurements are guaranteed between -55 and +125 degrees, with a +resolution of 1 degree. + +Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is +triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. Fan +readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4 or 8) to give +the readings more range or accuracy. Not all RPM values can accurately be +represented, so some rounding is done. With a divider of 2, the lowest +representable value is around 2600 RPM. + +Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in volts. An +alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum or +maximum limit. Note that minimum in this case always means 'closest to +zero'; this is important for negative voltage measurements. All voltage +inputs can measure voltages between 0 and 4.08 volts, with a resolution of +0.016 volt. + +In addition to the alarms described above, there is a BTI alarm, which gets +triggered when an external chip has crossed its limits. Usually, this is +connected to some LM75-like chip; if at least one crosses its limits, this +bit gets set. + +If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register +is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may already +have disappeared! Note that in the current implementation, all hardware +registers are read whenever any data is read (unless it is less than 1.5 +seconds since the last update). This means that you can easily miss +once-only alarms. + +The SiS5595 only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often +will do no harm, but will return 'old' values. + +Problems +-------- +Some chips refuse to be enabled. We don't know why. +The driver will recognize this and print a message in dmesg. + |
