hwmon: (coretemp) Merge pkgtemp with coretemp
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This patch merges the pkgtemp with coretemp driver.
The sysfs interfaces for all cores in the same pkg
are shown under one directory, in hwmon. It also
supports CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU. So, the sysfs interfaces
are created when each core comes online and are
removed when it goes offline.

Description
-----------
This driver permits reading the DTS (Digital Temperature Sensor) embedded
inside Intel CPUs. This driver can read both the per-core and per-package
temperature using the appropriate sensors. The per-package sensor is new;
as of now, it is present only in the SandyBridge platform. The driver will
show the temperature of all cores inside a package under a single device
directory inside hwmon.

This driver permits reading temperature sensor embedded inside Intel Core CPU.
Temperature is measured in degrees Celsius and measurement resolution is
1 degree C. Valid temperatures are from 0 to TjMax degrees C, because
the actual value of temperature register is in fact a delta from TjMax.
