Merge branch 'drm-nouveau-next' of git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/nouveau/linux-2.6 into drm-next
Nothing terribly exciting in here probably:
- reworked thermal stuff from mupuf/I, has a chance of possibly working
well enough when we get to being able to reclock..
- driver will report mmio access faults on chipsets where it's supported
- will now sleep waiting on fences on nv84+ rather than polling
- some cleanup of the internal fencing, looking towards sli/dmabuf sync
- initial support for anx9805 dp/tmds encoder
- nv50+ display fixes related to the above, and also might fix a few
other issues
- nicer error reporting (will log process names with channel errors)
- various other random fixes
* 'drm-nouveau-next' of git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/nouveau/linux-2.6: (87 commits)
nouveau: ACPI support depends on X86 and X86_PLATFORM_DEVICES
drm/nouveau/i2c: add support for ddc/aux, and dp link training on anx9805
drm/nv50: initial kms support for off-chip TMDS/DP encoders
drm/nv50-/disp: initial supervisor support for off-chip encoders
drm/nv50-/disp: initial work towards supporting external encoders
drm/nv50-/kms: remove unnecessary wait-for-completion points
drm/nv50-/disp: move DP link training to core and train from supervisor
drm/nv50-/disp: handle supervisor tasks from workqueue
drm/nouveau/i2c: create proper chipset-specific class implementations
drm/nv50-/disp: 0x0000 is a valid udisp config value
drm/nv50/devinit: reverse the logic for running encoder init scripts
drm/nouveau/bios: store a type/mask hash in parsed dcb data
drm/nouveau/i2c: extend type to 16-bits, add lookup-by-type function
drm/nouveau/i2c: aux channels not necessarily on nvio
drm/nouveau/i2c: fix a bit of a thinko in nv_wri2cr helper functions
drm/nouveau/bios: parse external transmitter type if off-chip
drm/nouveau: store i2c port pointer directly in nouveau_encoder
drm/nouveau/i2c: handle i2c/aux mux outside of port lookup function
drm/nv50/graph: avoid touching 400724, it doesn't exist
drm/nouveau: Fix DPMS 1 on G4 Snowball, from snow white to coal black.

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 |
