From cd4de21f7e65a8cd04860f5661b3c18648ee52a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jean Delvare Date: Sun, 20 Jun 2010 09:22:32 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] hwmon: (k8temp) Bypass core swapping on single-core processors Commit a2e066bba2aad6583e3ff648bf28339d6c9f0898 introduced core swapping for CPU models 64 and later. I recently had a report about a Sempron 3200+, model 95, for which this patch broke temperature reading. It happens that this is a single-core processor, so the effect of the swapping was to read a temperature value for a core that didn't exist, leading to an incorrect value (-49 degrees C.) Disabling core swapping on singe-core processors should fix this. Additional comment from Andreas: The BKDG says Thermal Sensor Core Select (ThermSenseCoreSel)-Bit 2. This bit selects the CPU whose temperature is reported in the CurTemp field. This bit only applies to dual core processors. For single core processors CPU0 Thermal Sensor is always selected. k8temp_probe() correctly detected that SEL_CORE can't be used on single core CPU. Thus k8temp did never update the temperature values stored in temp[1][x] and -49 degrees was reported. For single core CPUs we must use the values read into temp[0][x].
