Merge branch 'drm-next' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux
Pull drm merge from Dave Airlie:
"Highlights:
- TI LCD controller KMS driver
- TI OMAP KMS driver merged from staging
- drop gma500 stub driver
- the fbcon locking fixes
- the vgacon dirty like zebra fix.
- open firmware videomode and hdmi common code helpers
- major locking rework for kms object handling - pageflip/cursor
won't block on polling anymore!
- fbcon helper and prime helper cleanups
- i915: all over the map, haswell power well enhancements, valleyview
macro horrors cleaned up, killing lots of legacy GTT code,
- radeon: CS ioctl unification, deprecated UMS support, gpu reset
rework, VM fixes
- nouveau: reworked thermal code, external dp/tmds encoder support
(anx9805), fences sleep instead of polling,
- exynos: all over the driver fixes."
Lovely conflict in radeon/evergreen_cs.c between commit de0babd60d8d
("drm/radeon: enforce use of radeon_get_ib_value when reading user cmd")
and the new changes that modified that evergreen_dma_cs_parse()
function.

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: Not all fan management modes may be supported on all chipsets. We are +working on it. + +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 +http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs |
