Subject: [PATCH] powernv/opal-sensor-groups: Add documentation for the sysfs interfaces
Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2019 19:21:14 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1574776274-22355-1-git-send-email-ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
From: Shilpasri G Bhat <shilpa.bhat@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Commit bf9571550f52 ("powerpc/powernv: Add support to clear sensor
groups data") added a mechanism to clear sensor-group data via a sysfs
interface. However, the ABI for that interface has not been
documented.
This patch documents the ABI for the sysfs interface for sensor-groups
and clearing the sensor-groups.
This patch was originally sent by Shilpasri G Bhat on the mailing list:

+Description: Sensor groups directory for POWER9 powernv servers
+
+ Each folder in this directory contains a sensor group
+ which are classified based on type of the sensor
+ like power, temperature, frequency, current, etc. They
+ can also indicate the group of sensors belonging to
+ different owners like CSM, Profiler, Job-Scheduler

+What: /sys/firmware/opal/sensor_groups/<sensor_group_name>/clear
+Date: August 2017
+Contact: Linux for PowerPC mailing list <linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org>
+Description: Sysfs file to clear the min-max of all the sensors
+ belonging to the group.
+
+ Writing 1 to this file will clear the minimum and
+ maximum values of all the sensors in the group.
+ In POWER9, the min-max of a sensor is the historical minimum
+ and maximum value of the sensor cached by OCC.
