Ido Schimmel says: ==================== mlxsw: hwmon and thermal extensions Vadim says: This patchset contains various improvements to hwmon and thermal code in mlxsw. The most significant improvement is the ability to read modules' temperature attributes (input, fault, critical and emergency thresholds) as well as fans' fault indication. These new attributes will improve the ability to monitor the system. Patches #1-#4 add the necessary device registers and APIs to read modules' temperature attributes and fans' fault indication. Patches #5-#8 perform small improvements in hwmon and thermal code such as using a more indicative name for cooling devices. Patch #9 exposes fans' fault indication via hwmon. Patch #10 exposes modules' temperature attributes via hwmon. Patch #11 adds an hwmon label to modules' temperature sensor. This helps to parse the output of utilities such as "sensors". Patch #12 allows to bind an external cooling device ("mlxreg-fan") to mlxsw thermal zone. This will allow the mlxsw thermal zone to change the cooling level of cooling devices not programmed via switch registers. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
