+0. Introduction
+
+The generic cpu cooling(freq clipping) provides registration/unregistration APIs
+to the caller. The binding of the cooling devices to the trip point is left for
+the user. The registration APIs returns the cooling device pointer.
+
+1. cpu cooling APIs
+
+1.1 cpufreq registration/unregistration APIs
+1.1.1 struct thermal_cooling_device *cpufreq_cooling_register(
+	struct cpumask *clip_cpus)
+
+    This interface function registers the cpufreq cooling device with the name
+    "thermal-cpufreq-%x". This api can support multiple instances of cpufreq
+    cooling devices.
+
+   clip_cpus: cpumask of cpus where the frequency constraints will happen.
+
+1.1.2 struct thermal_cooling_device *of_cpufreq_cooling_register(
+	struct device_node *np, const struct cpumask *clip_cpus)
+
+    This interface function registers the cpufreq cooling device with
+    the name "thermal-cpufreq-%x" linking it with a device tree node, in
+    order to bind it via the thermal DT code. This api can support multiple
+    instances of cpufreq cooling devices.
+
+    np: pointer to the cooling device device tree node
+    clip_cpus: cpumask of cpus where the frequency constraints will happen.
+
+1.1.3 void cpufreq_cooling_unregister(struct thermal_cooling_device *cdev)
+
+    This interface function unregisters the "thermal-cpufreq-%x" cooling device.
+
+    cdev: Cooling device pointer which has to be unregistered.

+Kernel driver exynos_tmu
+=================
+
+Supported chips:
+* ARM SAMSUNG EXYNOS4, EXYNOS5 series of SoC

+
+TMU controller Description:
+---------------------------
+
+This driver allows to read temperature inside SAMSUNG EXYNOS4/5 series of SoC.
+
+The chip only exposes the measured 8-bit temperature code value
+through a register.
+Temperature can be taken from the temperature code.
+There are three equations converting from temperature to temperature code.
+
+The three equations are:
+  1. Two point trimming
+	Tc = (T - 25) * (TI2 - TI1) / (85 - 25) + TI1
+
+  2. One point trimming
+	Tc = T + TI1 - 25
+
+  3. No trimming
+	Tc = T + 50
+
+  Tc: Temperature code, T: Temperature,
+  TI1: Trimming info for 25 degree Celsius (stored at TRIMINFO register)
+       Temperature code measured at 25 degree Celsius which is unchanged
+  TI2: Trimming info for 85 degree Celsius (stored at TRIMINFO register)
+       Temperature code measured at 85 degree Celsius which is unchanged
+
+TMU(Thermal Management Unit) in EXYNOS4/5 generates interrupt
+when temperature exceeds pre-defined levels.
+The maximum number of configurable threshold is five.
+The threshold levels are defined as follows:
+  Level_0: current temperature > trigger_level_0 + threshold
+  Level_1: current temperature > trigger_level_1 + threshold
+  Level_2: current temperature > trigger_level_2 + threshold
+  Level_3: current temperature > trigger_level_3 + threshold
+
+  The threshold and each trigger_level are set
+  through the corresponding registers.
+
+When an interrupt occurs, this driver notify kernel thermal framework
+with the function exynos_report_trigger.
+Although an interrupt condition for level_0 can be set,
+it can be used to synchronize the cooling action.

+EXYNOS EMULATION MODE
+========================
+
+Copyright (C) 2012 Samsung Electronics
+
+Written by Jonghwa Lee <jonghwa3.lee@samsung.com>
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+Exynos 4x12 (4212, 4412) and 5 series provide emulation mode for thermal management unit.
+Thermal emulation mode supports software debug for TMU's operation. User can set temperature
+manually with software code and TMU will read current temperature from user value not from
+sensor's value.
+
+Enabling CONFIG_THERMAL_EMULATION option will make this support available.
+When it's enabled, sysfs node will be created as
+/sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone'zone id'/emul_temp.
+
+The sysfs node, 'emul_node', will contain value 0 for the initial state. When you input any
+temperature you want to update to sysfs node, it automatically enable emulation mode and
+current temperature will be changed into it.
+(Exynos also supports user changeable delay time which would be used to delay of
+ changing temperature. However, this node only uses same delay of real sensing time, 938us.)
+
+Exynos emulation mode requires synchronous of value changing and enabling. It means when you
+want to update the any value of delay or next temperature, then you have to enable emulation
+mode at the same time. (Or you have to keep the mode enabling.) If you don't, it fails to
+change the value to updated one and just use last succeessful value repeatedly. That's why
+this node gives users the right to change termerpature only. Just one interface makes it more
+simply to use.
+
+Disabling emulation mode only requires writing value 0 to sysfs node.

+============
+INTRODUCTION
+============
+
+Consider the situation where a system’s power consumption must be
+reduced at runtime, due to power budget, thermal constraint, or noise
+level, and where active cooling is not preferred. Software managed
+passive power reduction must be performed to prevent the hardware
+actions that are designed for catastrophic scenarios.
+
+Currently, P-states, T-states (clock modulation), and CPU offlining
+are used for CPU throttling.
+
+On Intel CPUs, C-states provide effective power reduction, but so far
+they’re only used opportunistically, based on workload. With the
+development of intel_powerclamp driver, the method of synchronizing
+idle injection across all online CPU threads was introduced. The goal
+is to achieve forced and controllable C-state residency.
+
+Test/Analysis has been made in the areas of power, performance,
+scalability, and user experience. In many cases, clear advantage is
+shown over taking the CPU offline or modulating the CPU clock.
+
+
+===================
+THEORY OF OPERATION
+===================
+
+Idle Injection
+--------------
+
+On modern Intel processors (Nehalem or later), package level C-state
+residency is available in MSRs, thus also available to the kernel.
+
+These MSRs are:
+      #define MSR_PKG_C2_RESIDENCY	0x60D
+      #define MSR_PKG_C3_RESIDENCY	0x3F8
+      #define MSR_PKG_C6_RESIDENCY	0x3F9
+      #define MSR_PKG_C7_RESIDENCY	0x3FA
+
+If the kernel can also inject idle time to the system, then a
+closed-loop control system can be established that manages package
+level C-state. The intel_powerclamp driver is conceived as such a
+control system, where the target set point is a user-selected idle
+ratio (based on power reduction), and the error is the difference
+between the actual package level C-state residency ratio and the target idle
+ratio.
+
+Injection is controlled by high priority kernel threads, spawned for
+each online CPU.
+
+These kernel threads, with SCHED_FIFO class, are created to perform
+clamping actions of controlled duty ratio and duration. Each per-CPU
+thread synchronizes its idle time and duration, based on the rounding
+of jiffies, so accumulated errors can be prevented to avoid a jittery
+effect. Threads are also bound to the CPU such that they cannot be
+migrated, unless the CPU is taken offline. In this case, threads
+belong to the offlined CPUs will be terminated immediately.
+
+Running as SCHED_FIFO and relatively high priority, also allows such
+scheme to work for both preemptable and non-preemptable kernels.
+Alignment of idle time around jiffies ensures scalability for HZ
+values. This effect can be better visualized using a Perf timechart.
+The following diagram shows the behavior of kernel thread
+kidle_inject/cpu. During idle injection, it runs monitor/mwait idle
+for a given "duration", then relinquishes the CPU to other tasks,
+until the next time interval.
+
+The NOHZ schedule tick is disabled during idle time, but interrupts
+are not masked. Tests show that the extra wakeups from scheduler tick
+have a dramatic impact on the effectiveness of the powerclamp driver
+on large scale systems (Westmere system with 80 processors).

+			      |
+			      roundup(jiffies, interval)
+
+Only one CPU is allowed to collect statistics and update global
+control parameters. This CPU is referred to as the controlling CPU in
+this document. The controlling CPU is elected at runtime, with a
+policy that favors BSP, taking into account the possibility of a CPU
+hot-plug.
+
+In terms of dynamics of the idle control system, package level idle
+time is considered largely as a non-causal system where its behavior
+cannot be based on the past or current input. Therefore, the
+intel_powerclamp driver attempts to enforce the desired idle time
+instantly as given input (target idle ratio). After injection,
+powerclamp moniors the actual idle for a given time window and adjust
+the next injection accordingly to avoid over/under correction.
+
+When used in a causal control system, such as a temperature control,
+it is up to the user of this driver to implement algorithms where
+past samples and outputs are included in the feedback. For example, a
+PID-based thermal controller can use the powerclamp driver to
+maintain a desired target temperature, based on integral and
+derivative gains of the past samples.
+
+
+
+Calibration
+-----------
+During scalability testing, it is observed that synchronized actions
+among CPUs become challenging as the number of cores grows. This is
+also true for the ability of a system to enter package level C-states.
+
+To make sure the intel_powerclamp driver scales well, online
+calibration is implemented. The goals for doing such a calibration
+are:
+
+a) determine the effective range of idle injection ratio
+b) determine the amount of compensation needed at each target ratio
+
+Compensation to each target ratio consists of two parts:
+
+        a) steady state error compensation
+	This is to offset the error occurring when the system can
+	enter idle without extra wakeups (such as external interrupts).
+
+	b) dynamic error compensation
+	When an excessive amount of wakeups occurs during idle, an
+	additional idle ratio can be added to quiet interrupts, by
+	slowing down CPU activities.
+
+A debugfs file is provided for the user to examine compensation
+progress and results, such as on a Westmere system.

+
+Calibration occurs during runtime. No offline method is available.
+Steady state compensation is used only when confidence levels of all
+adjacent ratios have reached satisfactory level. A confidence level
+is accumulated based on clean data collected at runtime. Data
+collected during a period without extra interrupts is considered
+clean.
+
+To compensate for excessive amounts of wakeup during idle, additional
+idle time is injected when such a condition is detected. Currently,
+we have a simple algorithm to double the injection ratio. A possible
+enhancement might be to throttle the offending IRQ, such as delaying
+EOI for level triggered interrupts. But it is a challenge to be
+non-intrusive to the scheduler or the IRQ core code.
+
+
+CPU Online/Offline
+------------------
+Per-CPU kernel threads are started/stopped upon receiving
+notifications of CPU hotplug activities. The intel_powerclamp driver
+keeps track of clamping kernel threads, even after they are migrated
+to other CPUs, after a CPU offline event.
+
+
+=====================
+Performance Analysis
+=====================
+This section describes the general performance data collected on
+multiple systems, including Westmere (80P) and Ivy Bridge (4P, 8P).
+
+Effectiveness and Limitations
+-----------------------------
+The maximum range that idle injection is allowed is capped at 50
+percent. As mentioned earlier, since interrupts are allowed during
+forced idle time, excessive interrupts could result in less
+effectiveness. The extreme case would be doing a ping -f to generated
+flooded network interrupts without much CPU acknowledgement. In this
+case, little can be done from the idle injection threads. In most
+normal cases, such as scp a large file, applications can be throttled
+by the powerclamp driver, since slowing down the CPU also slows down
+network protocol processing, which in turn reduces interrupts.
+
+When control parameters change at runtime by the controlling CPU, it
+may take an additional period for the rest of the CPUs to catch up
+with the changes. During this time, idle injection is out of sync,
+thus not able to enter package C- states at the expected ratio. But
+this effect is minor, in that in most cases change to the target
+ratio is updated much less frequently than the idle injection
+frequency.
+
+Scalability
+-----------
+Tests also show a minor, but measurable, difference between the 4P/8P
+Ivy Bridge system and the 80P Westmere server under 50% idle ratio.
+More compensation is needed on Westmere for the same amount of
+target idle ratio. The compensation also increases as the idle ratio
+gets larger. The above reason constitutes the need for the
+calibration code.
+
+On the IVB 8P system, compared to an offline CPU, powerclamp can
+achieve up to 40% better performance per watt. (measured by a spin
+counter summed over per CPU counting threads spawned for all running
+CPUs).
+
+====================
+Usage and Interfaces
+====================
+The powerclamp driver is registered to the generic thermal layer as a
+cooling device. Currently, it’s not bound to any thermal zones.
+
+jacob@chromoly:/sys/class/thermal/cooling_device14$ grep . *
+cur_state:0
+max_state:50
+type:intel_powerclamp
+
+Example usage:
+- To inject 25% idle time
+$ sudo sh -c "echo 25 > /sys/class/thermal/cooling_device80/cur_state
+"
+
+If the system is not busy and has more than 25% idle time already,
+then the powerclamp driver will not start idle injection. Using Top
+will not show idle injection kernel threads.
+
+If the system is busy (spin test below) and has less than 25% natural
+idle time, powerclamp kernel threads will do idle injection, which
+appear running to the scheduler. But the overall system idle is still
+reflected. In this example, 24.1% idle is shown. This helps the
+system admin or user determine the cause of slowdown, when a
+powerclamp driver is in action.

+Tests have shown that by using the powerclamp driver as a cooling
+device, a PID based userspace thermal controller can manage to
+control CPU temperature effectively, when no other thermal influence
+is added. For example, a UltraBook user can compile the kernel under
+certain temperature (below most active trip points).

+Kernel driver nouveau
+===================
+
+Supported chips:
+* NV43+
+
+Authors: Martin Peres (mupuf) <martin.peres@free.fr>
+
+Description
+---------
+
+This driver allows to read the GPU core temperature, drive the GPU fan and
+set temperature alarms.
+
+Currently, due to the absence of in-kernel API to access HWMON drivers, Nouveau
+cannot access any of the i2c external monitoring chips it may find. If you
+have one of those, temperature and/or fan management through Nouveau's HWMON
+interface is likely not to work. This document may then not cover your situation
+entirely.
+
+Temperature management
+--------------------
+
+Temperature is exposed under as a read-only HWMON attribute temp1_input.
+
+In order to protect the GPU from overheating, Nouveau supports 4 configurable
+temperature thresholds:
+
+ * Fan_boost: Fan speed is set to 100% when reaching this temperature;
+ * Downclock: The GPU will be downclocked to reduce its power dissipation;
+ * Critical: The GPU is put on hold to further lower power dissipation;
+ * Shutdown: Shut the computer down to protect your GPU.
+
+WARNING: Some of these thresholds may not be used by Nouveau depending
+on your chipset.
+
+The default value for these thresholds comes from the GPU's vbios. These
+thresholds can be configured thanks to the following HWMON attributes:
+
+ * Fan_boost: temp1_auto_point1_temp and temp1_auto_point1_temp_hyst;
+ * Downclock: temp1_max and temp1_max_hyst;
+ * Critical: temp1_crit and temp1_crit_hyst;
+ * Shutdown: temp1_emergency and temp1_emergency_hyst.
+
+NOTE: Remember that the values are stored as milli degrees Celcius. Don't forget
+to multiply!
+
+Fan management
+------------
+
+Not all cards have a drivable fan. If you do, then the following HWMON
+attributes should be available:
+
+ * pwm1_enable: Current fan management mode (NONE, MANUAL or AUTO);
+ * pwm1: Current PWM value (power percentage);
+ * pwm1_min: The minimum PWM speed allowed;
+ * pwm1_max: The maximum PWM speed allowed (bypassed when hitting Fan_boost);
+
+You may also have the following attribute:
+
+ * fan1_input: Speed in RPM of your fan.
+
+Your fan can be driven in different modes:
+
+ * 0: The fan is left untouched;
+ * 1: The fan can be driven in manual (use pwm1 to change the speed);
+ * 2; The fan is driven automatically depending on the temperature.
+
+NOTE: Be sure to use the manual mode if you want to drive the fan speed manually
+
+NOTE2: When operating in manual mode outside the vbios-defined
+[PWM_min, PWM_max] range, the reported fan speed (RPM) may not be accurate
+depending on your hardware.
+
+Bug reports
+---------
+
+Thermal management on Nouveau is new and may not work on all cards. If you have
+inquiries, please ping mupuf on IRC (#nouveau, freenode).
+
+Bug reports should be filled on Freedesktop's bug tracker. Please follow

+The generic thermal sysfs provides a set of interfaces for thermal zone
+devices (sensors) and thermal cooling devices (fan, processor...) to register
+with the thermal management solution and to be a part of it.
+
+This how-to focuses on enabling new thermal zone and cooling devices to
+participate in thermal management.
+This solution is platform independent and any type of thermal zone devices
+and cooling devices should be able to make use of the infrastructure.
+
+The main task of the thermal sysfs driver is to expose thermal zone attributes
+as well as cooling device attributes to the user space.
+An intelligent thermal management application can make decisions based on
+inputs from thermal zone attributes (the current temperature and trip point
+temperature) and throttle appropriate devices.

+
+1.4 Thermal Zone Parameters
+1.4.1 struct thermal_bind_params
+    This structure defines the following parameters that are used to bind
+    a zone with a cooling device for a particular trip point.
+    .cdev: The cooling device pointer
+    .weight: The 'influence' of a particular cooling device on this zone.
+             This is on a percentage scale. The sum of all these weights
+             (for a particular zone) cannot exceed 100.
+    .trip_mask:This is a bit mask that gives the binding relation between
+               this thermal zone and cdev, for a particular trip point.
+               If nth bit is set, then the cdev and thermal zone are bound
+               for trip point n.
+    .limits: This is an array of cooling state limits. Must have exactly
+         2 * thermal_zone.number_of_trip_points. It is an array consisting
+         of tuples <lower-state upper-state> of state limits. Each trip
+         will be associated with one state limit tuple when binding.
+         A NULL pointer means <THERMAL_NO_LIMITS THERMAL_NO_LIMITS>
+         on all trips. These limits are used when binding a cdev to a
+         trip point.
+    .match: This call back returns success(0) if the 'tz and cdev' need to
+	    be bound, as per platform data.
+1.4.2 struct thermal_zone_params
+    This structure defines the platform level parameters for a thermal zone.
+    This data, for each thermal zone should come from the platform layer.
+    This is an optional feature where some platforms can choose not to
+    provide this data.
+    .governor_name: Name of the thermal governor used for this zone
+    .no_hwmon: a boolean to indicate if the thermal to hwmon sysfs interface
+               is required. when no_hwmon == false, a hwmon sysfs interface
+               will be created. when no_hwmon == true, nothing will be done.
+               In case the thermal_zone_params is NULL, the hwmon interface
+               will be created (for backward compatibility).
+    .num_tbps: Number of thermal_bind_params entries for this zone
+    .tbp: thermal_bind_params entries
+
+2. sysfs attributes structure
+
+RO	read only value
+RW	read/write value
+
+Thermal sysfs attributes will be represented under /sys/class/thermal.
+Hwmon sysfs I/F extension is also available under /sys/class/hwmon
+if hwmon is compiled in or built as a module.
+
+Thermal zone device sys I/F, created once it's registered:
+/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone[0-*]:
+    |---type:			Type of the thermal zone
+    |---temp:			Current temperature
+    |---mode:			Working mode of the thermal zone
+    |---policy:			Thermal governor used for this zone
+    |---trip_point_[0-*]_temp:	Trip point temperature
+    |---trip_point_[0-*]_type:	Trip point type
+    |---trip_point_[0-*]_hyst:	Hysteresis value for this trip point
+    |---emul_temp:		Emulated temperature set node
+
+Thermal cooling device sys I/F, created once it's registered:
+/sys/class/thermal/cooling_device[0-*]:
+    |---type:			Type of the cooling device(processor/fan/...)
+    |---max_state:		Maximum cooling state of the cooling device
+    |---cur_state:		Current cooling state of the cooling device
+
+
+Then next two dynamic attributes are created/removed in pairs. They represent
+the relationship between a thermal zone and its associated cooling device.
+They are created/removed for each successful execution of
+thermal_zone_bind_cooling_device/thermal_zone_unbind_cooling_device.
+
+/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone[0-*]:
+    |---cdev[0-*]:		[0-*]th cooling device in current thermal zone
+    |---cdev[0-*]_trip_point:	Trip point that cdev[0-*] is associated with
+
+Besides the thermal zone device sysfs I/F and cooling device sysfs I/F,
+the generic thermal driver also creates a hwmon sysfs I/F for each _type_
+of thermal zone device. E.g. the generic thermal driver registers one hwmon
+class device and build the associated hwmon sysfs I/F for all the registered
+ACPI thermal zones.
+
+/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon[0-*]:
+    |---name:			The type of the thermal zone devices
+    |---temp[1-*]_input:	The current temperature of thermal zone [1-*]
+    |---temp[1-*]_critical:	The critical trip point of thermal zone [1-*]

+3. A simple implementation
+
+ACPI thermal zone may support multiple trip points like critical, hot,
+passive, active. If an ACPI thermal zone supports critical, passive,
+active[0] and active[1] at the same time, it may register itself as a
+thermal_zone_device (thermal_zone1) with 4 trip points in all.
+It has one processor and one fan, which are both registered as
+thermal_cooling_device.
+
+If the processor is listed in _PSL method, and the fan is listed in _AL0
+method, the sys I/F structure will be built like this:
+
+/sys/class/thermal:
+
+|thermal_zone1:
+    |---type:			acpitz
+    |---temp:			37000
+    |---mode:			enabled
+    |---policy:			step_wise
+    |---trip_point_0_temp:	100000

+
+|cooling_device0:
+    |---type:			Processor
+    |---max_state:		8
+    |---cur_state:		0
+
+|cooling_device3:
+    |---type:			Fan
+    |---max_state:		2
+    |---cur_state:		0
+
+/sys/class/hwmon:
+
+|hwmon0:
+    |---name:			acpitz
+    |---temp1_input:		37000
+    |---temp1_crit:		100000
+
+4. Event Notification
+
+The framework includes a simple notification mechanism, in the form of a
+netlink event. Netlink socket initialization is done during the _init_
+of the framework. Drivers which intend to use the notification mechanism
+just need to call thermal_generate_netlink_event() with two arguments viz
+(originator, event). The originator is a pointer to struct thermal_zone_device
+from where the event has been originated. An integer which represents the
+thermal zone device will be used in the message to identify the zone. The
+event will be one of:{THERMAL_AUX0, THERMAL_AUX1, THERMAL_CRITICAL,
+THERMAL_DEV_FAULT}. Notification can be sent when the current temperature
+crosses any of the configured thresholds.
+
+5. Export Symbol APIs:
+
+5.1: get_tz_trend:
+This function returns the trend of a thermal zone, i.e the rate of change
+of temperature of the thermal zone. Ideally, the thermal sensor drivers
+are supposed to implement the callback. If they don't, the thermal
+framework calculated the trend by comparing the previous and the current
+temperature values.
+
+5.2:get_thermal_instance:
+This function returns the thermal_instance corresponding to a given
+{thermal_zone, cooling_device, trip_point} combination. Returns NULL
+if such an instance does not exist.
+
+5.3:thermal_notify_framework:
+This function handles the trip events from sensor drivers. It starts
+throttling the cooling devices according to the policy configured.
+For CRITICAL and HOT trip points, this notifies the respective drivers,
+and does actual throttling for other trip points i.e ACTIVE and PASSIVE.
+The throttling policy is based on the configured platform data; if no
+platform data is provided, this uses the step_wise throttling policy.
+
+5.4:thermal_cdev_update:
+This function serves as an arbitrator to set the state of a cooling
+device. It sets the cooling device to the deepest cooling state if
+possible.

+Chapter 14.6: PACKAGE LEVEL THERMAL MANAGEMENT
+
+Description
+---------
+
+This driver register CPU digital temperature package level sensor as a thermal
+zone with maximum two user mode configurable trip points. Number of trip points
+depends on the capability of the package. Once the trip point is violated,
+user mode can receive notification via thermal notification mechanism and can
+take any action to control temperature.
+
+
+Threshold management
+--------------------
+Each package will register as a thermal zone under /sys/class/thermal.
+Example:
+/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone1
+
+This contains two trip points:
+- trip_point_0_temp
+- trip_point_1_temp
+
+User can set any temperature between 0 to TJ-Max temperature. Temperature units
+are in milli-degree Celsius. Refer to "Documentation/thermal/sysfs-api.txt" for
+thermal sys-fs details.
+
+Any value other than 0 in these trip points, can trigger thermal notifications.
+Setting 0, stops sending thermal notifications.
+
+Thermal notifications: To get kobject-uevent notifications, set the thermal zone
+policy to "user_space". For example: echo -n "user_space" > policy
+
+
+
