31.Sh NAME
32.Nm acpi_thermal
33.Nd ACPI thermal management subsystem
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.Cd "device acpi"
36.Sh DESCRIPTION
37The
38.Nm
39driver provides the thermal management features of the ACPI module.
40This driver has a
41.Xr sysctl 8
42interface and a
43.Xr devd 8
44notification interface.
45The sysctls export properties of each ACPI thermal zone object.
46.Pp
47There can be multiple thermal zones in a system.
48For example, each CPU and the enclosure could all be separate thermal
49zones, each with its own setpoints and cooling devices.
50Thermal zones are numbered sequentially in the order they appear in
51the AML.
52.Pp
53The
54.Nm
55driver also activates the active cooling system according to
56each thermal zone's setpoints.
57.Sh SYSCTLS
58.Bl -tag -width indent
59.It Va hw.acpi.thermal.tz%d.active
60Current active cooling system state.
61If this is non-negative, the appropriate _AC%d object is running.
62Set this value to the desired active cooling level to force
63the corresponding fan object to the appropriate level.
64.It Va hw.acpi.thermal.tz%d.thermal_flags
65Current thermal zone status.
66These are bit-masked values.
67.It Va hw.acpi.thermal.tz%d.temperature
68Current temperature for this zone.
69.It Va hw.acpi.thermal.tz%d._PSV
70Temperature to start passive cooling by throttling down CPU, etc.
71.It Va hw.acpi.thermal.tz%d._HOT
72Temperature to start critical suspend to disk (S4).
73.It Va hw.acpi.thermal.tz%d._CRT
74Temperature to start critical shutdown (S5).
75.It Va hw.acpi.thermal.tz%d._ACx
76Temperatures at which to switch to the corresponding active cooling
77level.
78For instance, values of
79.Qq Li "3200 3100"
80mean to switch on _AC0 at 320.0K
81and _AC1 at 310.0K.
82The lower the _ACx value, the higher the cooling power.
83.El
84.Pp
85All temperatures are represented in tenths of a Kelvin.
86For example, 300.0K is represented by the integer 3000.
87To convert to units of Centigrade,
88the formula is
89.Li "(x - 2731.5) / 10" .
90.Sh NOTIFIES
91Notifies are passed to userland via
92.Xr devd 8 .
93See
94.Pa /etc/devd.conf
95and
96.Xr devd.conf 5
97for examples.
98The
99.Nm
100driver sends events with the following attributes:
101.Pp
102.Bl -tag -width "subsystem" -compact
103.It system
104.Li ACPI
105.It subsystem
106.Li Thermal
107.It type
108The fully qualified thermal zone object path as in the ASL.
109.It notify
110An integer designating the event:
111.Pp
112.Bl -tag -width indent -compact
113.It Li 0x80
114Current temperature has changed.
115.It Li 0x81
116One or more trip points (_ACx, _PSV) have changed.
117.It Li 0x82
118One or more device lists (_ALx, _PSL, _TZD) have changed.
119.It Li 0xcc
120Non-standard notify that the system will shutdown if the temperature
121stays above _CRT or _HOT for one more poll cycle.
