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.rst" 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 |
