Up to 6 of those are +direct temperature sensor inputs, the others are special sources such as PECI, +PCH, and SMBUS. Depending on the chip type, 2 to 6 of the temperature sources +can be monitored and compared against minimum, maximum, and critical +temperatures. The driver reports up to 10 of the temperatures to the user. +There are 4 to 5 fan rotation speed sensors, 8 to 15 analog voltage sensors, +one VID, alarms with beep warnings (control unimplemented), and some automatic +fan regulation strategies (plus manual fan control mode). + +The temperature sensor sources on all chips are configurable. The configured +source for each of the temperature sensors is provided in tempX_label. + +Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius and measurement resolution is +either 1 degC or 0.5 degC, depending on the temperature source and +configuration. An alarm is triggered when the temperature gets higher than +the high limit; it stays on until the temperature falls below the hysteresis +value. Alarms are only supported for temp1 to temp6, depending on the chip type. + +Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is +triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. On +NCT6775F, fan readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4, 8, +16, 32, 64 or 128) to give the readings more range or accuracy; the other chips +do not have a fan speed divider. The driver sets the most suitable fan divisor +itself; specifically, it increases the divider value each time a fan speed +reading returns an invalid value, and it reduces it if the fan speed reading +is lower than optimal. Some fans might not be present because they share pins +with other functions. + +Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in millivolts. +An alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum +or maximum limit. + +The driver supports automatic fan control mode known as Thermal Cruise. +In this mode, the chip attempts to keep the measured temperature in a +predefined temperature range.

Ftrace + makes a cache of pid mappings to comms to try to display + comms for events. If a pid for a comm is not listed, then + "<...>" is displayed in the output. + + snapshot: + + This displays the "snapshot" buffer and also lets the user + take a snapshot of the current running trace. + See the "Snapshot" section below for more details. + + stack_max_size: + + When the stack tracer is activated, this will display the + maximum stack size it has encountered. + See the "Stack Trace" section below. + + stack_trace: + + This displays the stack back trace of the largest stack + that was encountered when the stack tracer is activated. + See the "Stack Trace" section below. + + stack_trace_filter: + + This is similar to "set_ftrace_filter" but it limits what + functions the stack tracer will check. + + trace_clock: + + Whenever an event is recorded into the ring buffer, a + "timestamp" is added. This stamp comes from a specified + clock. By default, ftrace uses the "local" clock. This + clock is very fast and strictly per cpu, but on some + systems it may not be monotonic with respect to other + CPUs. In other words, the local clocks may not be in sync + with local clocks on other CPUs. + + Usual clocks for tracing: + + # cat trace_clock + [local] global counter x86-tsc + + local: Default clock, but may not be in sync across CPUs + + global: This clock is in sync with all CPUs but may + be a bit slower than the local clock. + + counter: This is not a clock at all, but literally an atomic + counter.

This is useful when you need to + know exactly the order events occurred with respect to + each other on different CPUs. + + uptime: This uses the jiffies counter and the time stamp + is relative to the time since boot up. + + perf: This makes ftrace use the same clock that perf uses. + Eventually perf will be able to read ftrace buffers + and this will help out in interleaving the data. + + x86-tsc: Architectures may define their own clocks.
