Henrique de Moraes Holschuh643f12d2007-03-29 01:58:43 -030014This is a Linux driver for the IBM and Lenovo ThinkPad laptops. It
15supports various features of these laptops which are accessible
16through the ACPI and ACPI EC framework, but not otherwise fully
17supported by the generic Linux ACPI drivers.
18
19This driver used to be named ibm-acpi until kernel 2.6.21 and release
200.13-20070314. It used to be in the drivers/acpi tree, but it was
21moved to the drivers/misc tree and renamed to thinkpad-acpi for kernel
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh9abf0ee2009-01-11 03:00:58 -0200222.6.22, and release 0.14. It was moved to drivers/platform/x86 for
Henrique de Moraes Holschuhaa2fbce2009-01-11 03:01:10 -020023kernel 2.6.29 and release 0.22.
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070024
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh95e57ab2008-04-26 01:02:22 -030025The driver is named "thinkpad-acpi". In some places, like module
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh078ac192009-04-04 04:25:44 +000026names and log messages, "thinkpad_acpi" is used because of userspace
27issues.
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh95e57ab2008-04-26 01:02:22 -030028
29"tpacpi" is used as a shorthand where "thinkpad-acpi" would be too
30long due to length limitations on some Linux kernel versions.

69Installation
70------------
71
72If you are compiling this driver as included in the Linux kernel
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh078ac192009-04-04 04:25:44 +000073sources, look for the CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI Kconfig option.
74It is located on the menu path: "Device Drivers" -> "X86 Platform
75Specific Device Drivers" -> "ThinkPad ACPI Laptop Extras".

78Features
79--------
80
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh54ae1502007-04-24 11:48:12 -030081The driver exports two different interfaces to userspace, which can be
82used to access the features it provides. One is a legacy procfs-based
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh078ac192009-04-04 04:25:44 +000083interface, which will be removed at some time in the future. The other
84is a new sysfs-based interface which is not complete yet.
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh54ae1502007-04-24 11:48:12 -030085
86The procfs interface creates the /proc/acpi/ibm directory. There is a
87file under that directory for each feature it supports. The procfs
88interface is mostly frozen, and will change very little if at all: it
89will not be extended to add any new functionality in the driver, instead
90all new functionality will be implemented on the sysfs interface.
91
92The sysfs interface tries to blend in the generic Linux sysfs subsystems
93and classes as much as possible. Since some of these subsystems are not
94yet ready or stabilized, it is expected that this interface will change,
95and any and all userspace programs must deal with it.
96
97
Mauro Carvalho Chehabb02f1652019-04-18 11:12:57 -030098Notes about the sysfs interface
99^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh54ae1502007-04-24 11:48:12 -0300100
101Unlike what was done with the procfs interface, correctness when talking
102to the sysfs interfaces will be enforced, as will correctness in the
103thinkpad-acpi's implementation of sysfs interfaces.
104
105Also, any bugs in the thinkpad-acpi sysfs driver code or in the
106thinkpad-acpi's implementation of the sysfs interfaces will be fixed for
107maximum correctness, even if that means changing an interface in
108non-compatible ways. As these interfaces mature both in the kernel and
109in thinkpad-acpi, such changes should become quite rare.
110
111Applications interfacing to the thinkpad-acpi sysfs interfaces must
112follow all sysfs guidelines and correctly process all errors (the sysfs
113interface makes extensive use of errors). File descriptors and open /
114close operations to the sysfs inodes must also be properly implemented.
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700115
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh176750d2007-04-24 11:48:13 -0300116The version of thinkpad-acpi's sysfs interface is exported by the driver
117as a driver attribute (see below).
118
119Sysfs driver attributes are on the driver's sysfs attribute space,
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh078ac192009-04-04 04:25:44 +0000120for 2.6.23+ this is /sys/bus/platform/drivers/thinkpad_acpi/ and

Henrique de Moraes Holschuh176750d2007-04-24 11:48:13 -0300122
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh7fd40022007-09-25 06:38:03 -0300123Sysfs device attributes are on the thinkpad_acpi device sysfs attribute
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh078ac192009-04-04 04:25:44 +0000124space, for 2.6.23+ this is /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/.
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh7fd40022007-09-25 06:38:03 -0300125
126Sysfs device attributes for the sensors and fan are on the
127thinkpad_hwmon device's sysfs attribute space, but you should locate it
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh078ac192009-04-04 04:25:44 +0000128looking for a hwmon device with the name attribute of "thinkpad", or
Stanislav Fomichev6b99e352017-06-20 20:45:13 -0700129better yet, through libsensors. For 4.14+ sysfs attributes were moved to the
130hwmon device (/sys/bus/platform/devices/thinkpad_hwmon/hwmon/hwmon? or
131/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon?).

158The sysfs interface version changelog for the driver can be found at the
159end of this document. Changes to the sysfs interface done by the kernel
160subsystems are not documented here, nor are they tracked by this
161attribute.
162
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh94b08712007-07-18 23:45:32 -0300163Changes to the thinkpad-acpi sysfs interface are only considered
164non-experimental when they are submitted to Linux mainline, at which
165point the changes in this interface are documented and interface_version
166may be updated. If you are using any thinkpad-acpi features not yet
167sent to mainline for merging, you do so on your own risk: these features
168may disappear, or be implemented in a different and incompatible way by
169the time they are merged in Linux mainline.
170
171Changes that are backwards-compatible by nature (e.g. the addition of
172attributes that do not change the way the other attributes work) do not
173always warrant an update of interface_version. Therefore, one must
174expect that an attribute might not be there, and deal with it properly
175(an attribute not being there *is* a valid way to make it clear that a
176feature is not available in sysfs).

Henrique de Moraes Holschuhd0788cf2008-02-16 02:17:56 -0200186In a ThinkPad, the ACPI HKEY handler is responsible for communicating
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh1a343762007-07-18 23:45:36 -0300187some important events and also keyboard hot key presses to the operating
188system. Enabling the hotkey functionality of thinkpad-acpi signals the
189firmware that such a driver is present, and modifies how the ThinkPad
190firmware will behave in many situations.
191
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh2586d562009-04-04 04:25:48 +0000192The driver enables the HKEY ("hot key") event reporting automatically
193when loaded, and disables it when it is removed.
Henrique de Moraes Holschuhff80f132007-09-04 11:13:15 -0300194
Mauro Carvalho Chehabb02f1652019-04-18 11:12:57 -0300195The driver will report HKEY events in the following format::
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700196
197 ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 0000xxxx
198
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh2586d562009-04-04 04:25:48 +0000199Some of these events refer to hot key presses, but not all of them.
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh6a38abb2007-07-18 23:45:35 -0300200
Henrique de Moraes Holschuhff80f132007-09-04 11:13:15 -0300201The driver will generate events over the input layer for hot keys and
202radio switches, and over the ACPI netlink layer for other events. The
203input layer support accepts the standard IOCTLs to remap the keycodes
204assigned to each hot key.
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh6a38abb2007-07-18 23:45:35 -0300205
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh1a343762007-07-18 23:45:36 -0300206The hot key bit mask allows some control over which hot keys generate
207events. If a key is "masked" (bit set to 0 in the mask), the firmware
208will handle it. If it is "unmasked", it signals the firmware that
209thinkpad-acpi would prefer to handle it, if the firmware would be so
210kind to allow it (and it often doesn't!).
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700211
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh1a343762007-07-18 23:45:36 -0300212Not all bits in the mask can be modified. Not all bits that can be
213modified do anything. Not all hot keys can be individually controlled
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh0d922e32009-09-20 14:09:25 -0300214by the mask. Some models do not support the mask at all. The behaviour
215of the mask is, therefore, highly dependent on the ThinkPad model.
216
217The driver will filter out any unmasked hotkeys, so even if the firmware
218doesn't allow disabling an specific hotkey, the driver will not report
219events for unmasked hotkeys.
Henrique de Moraes Holschuhae92bd12007-07-18 23:45:29 -0300220
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh1a343762007-07-18 23:45:36 -0300221Note that unmasking some keys prevents their default behavior. For
222example, if Fn+F5 is unmasked, that key will no longer enable/disable
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh0d922e32009-09-20 14:09:25 -0300223Bluetooth by itself in firmware.
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700224
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh0d922e32009-09-20 14:09:25 -0300225Note also that not all Fn key combinations are supported through ACPI
226depending on the ThinkPad model and firmware version. On those
227ThinkPads, it is still possible to support some extra hotkeys by
228polling the "CMOS NVRAM" at least 10 times per second. The driver
229attempts to enables this functionality automatically when required.

246
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh01e88f22008-01-08 13:02:41 -0200247The procfs interface does not support NVRAM polling control. So as to
248maintain maximum bug-to-bug compatibility, it does not report any masks,
249nor does it allow one to manipulate the hot key mask when the firmware
250does not support masks at all, even if NVRAM polling is in use.

Henrique de Moraes Holschuh01e88f22008-01-08 13:02:41 -0200296 hotkey_source_mask:
297 bit mask that selects which hot keys will the driver
298 poll the NVRAM for. This is auto-detected by the driver
299 based on the capabilities reported by the ACPI firmware,
300 but it can be overridden at runtime.
301
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh0d922e32009-09-20 14:09:25 -0300302 Hot keys whose bits are set in hotkey_source_mask are
303 polled for in NVRAM, and reported as hotkey events if
304 enabled in hotkey_mask. Only a few hot keys are
305 available through CMOS NVRAM polling.

307 Warning: when in NVRAM mode, the volume up/down/mute
308 keys are synthesized according to changes in the mixer,
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh69df49e2010-05-16 19:45:38 -0300309 which uses a single volume up or volume down hotkey
310 press to unmute, as per the ThinkPad volume mixer user
311 interface. When in ACPI event mode, volume up/down/mute
312 events are reported by the firmware and can behave
313 differently (and that behaviour changes with firmware
314 version -- not just with firmware models -- as well as
315 OSI(Linux) state).
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh01e88f22008-01-08 13:02:41 -0200316
317 hotkey_poll_freq:
318 frequency in Hz for hot key polling. It must be between
319 0 and 25 Hz. Polling is only carried out when strictly
320 needed.
321
322 Setting hotkey_poll_freq to zero disables polling, and
323 will cause hot key presses that require NVRAM polling
324 to never be reported.
325
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh69df49e2010-05-16 19:45:38 -0300326 Setting hotkey_poll_freq too low may cause repeated
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh01e88f22008-01-08 13:02:41 -0200327 pressings of the same hot key to be misreported as a
328 single key press, or to not even be detected at all.
329 The recommended polling frequency is 10Hz.

Henrique de Moraes Holschuh6a38abb2007-07-18 23:45:35 -0300367
368A Hot key is mapped to a single input layer EV_KEY event, possibly
369followed by an EV_MSC MSC_SCAN event that shall contain that key's scan
370code. An EV_SYN event will always be generated to mark the end of the
371event block.
372
373Do not use the EV_MSC MSC_SCAN events to process keys. They are to be
374used as a helper to remap keys, only. They are particularly useful when
375remapping KEY_UNKNOWN keys.
376
377The events are available in an input device, with the following id:

508The ThinkPad firmware does not allow one to differentiate when most hot
509keys are pressed or released (either that, or we don't know how to, yet).
510For these keys, the driver generates a set of events for a key press and
511immediately issues the same set of events for a key release. It is
512unknown by the driver if the ThinkPad firmware triggered these events on
513hot key press or release, but the firmware will do it for either one, not
514both.
515
Henrique de Moraes Holschuhff80f132007-09-04 11:13:15 -0300516If a key is mapped to KEY_RESERVED, it generates no input events at all.
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh6a38abb2007-07-18 23:45:35 -0300517If a key is mapped to KEY_UNKNOWN, it generates an input event that
Henrique de Moraes Holschuhff80f132007-09-04 11:13:15 -0300518includes an scan code. If a key is mapped to anything else, it will

577operating system to hibernate or shutdown cleanly (0x2313), or shutdown
578cleanly (0x2413) before power is lost. They must be acted upon, as the
579wake up caused by the firmware will have negated most safety nets...
580
581When any of the "too hot" alarms happen, according to Lenovo the user
582should suspend or hibernate the laptop (and in the case of battery
583alarms, unplug the AC adapter) to let it cool down. These alarms do
584signal that something is wrong, they should never happen on normal
585operating conditions.
586
587The "extremely hot" alarms are emergencies. According to Lenovo, the
588operating system is to force either an immediate suspend or hibernate
589cycle, or a system shutdown. Obviously, something is very wrong if this
590happens.

601implement brightness changes. When you override these events, you will
602either fail to handle properly the ThinkPads that require explicit

Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700672Each video output device can be enabled or disabled individually.
673Reading /proc/acpi/ibm/video shows the status of each device.
674
675Automatic video switching can be enabled or disabled. When automatic
676video switching is enabled, certain events (e.g. opening the lid,
677docking or undocking) cause the video output device to change
678automatically. While this can be useful, it also causes flickering
679and, on the X40, video corruption. By disabling automatic switching,
680the flickering or video corruption can be avoided.
681
682The video_switch command cycles through the available video outputs
Borislav Deianov78f81cc2005-08-17 00:00:00 -0400683(it simulates the behavior of Fn-F7).

685Video expansion can be toggled through this feature. This controls
686whether the display is expanded to fill the entire LCD screen when a
687mode with less than full resolution is used. Note that the current
688video expansion status cannot be determined through this feature.
689
690Note that on many models (particularly those using Radeon graphics
691chips) the X driver configures the video card in a way which prevents
692Fn-F7 from working. This also disables the video output switching
693features of this driver, as it uses the same ACPI methods as
694Fn-F7. Video switching on the console should still work.

Henrique de Moraes Holschuhd54b7d72007-07-18 23:45:33 -0300735This feature is mostly used internally by the ACPI firmware to keep the legacy

737state so that the ThinkPad will retain such settings across reboots.
738
739Some of these commands actually perform actions in some ThinkPad models, but
740this is expected to disappear more and more in newer models. As an example, in
741a T43 and in a X40, commands 12 and 13 still control the ThinkLight state for
742real, but commands 0 to 2 don't control the mixer anymore (they have been

835
836If the thinkpad firmware doesn't support reading the current status,
837trying to read the current LED brightness will just return whatever
838brightness was last written to that attribute.
839
840These LEDs can blink using hardware acceleration. To request that a

Thomas Renningera420e462010-07-16 13:11:35 +0200970This feature is not included in the thinkpad driver anymore.
971Instead the EC can be accessed through /sys/kernel/debug/ec with
972a userspace tool which can be found here:

Borislav Deianov78f81cc2005-08-17 00:00:00 -0400978 - make sure the battery is fully charged
979 - make sure the fan is running
Thomas Renningera420e462010-07-16 13:11:35 +0200980 - use above mentioned tool to read out the EC
Borislav Deianov78f81cc2005-08-17 00:00:00 -0400981
Thomas Renningera420e462010-07-16 13:11:35 +0200982Often fan and temperature values vary between
Borislav Deianov78f81cc2005-08-17 00:00:00 -0400983readings. Since temperatures don't change vary fast, you can take
984several quick dumps to eliminate them.
985
986You can use a similar method to figure out the meaning of other
987embedded controller registers - e.g. make sure nothing else changes
988except the charging or discharging battery to determine which
989registers contain the current battery capacity, etc. If you experiment
990with this, do send me your results (including some complete dumps with
991a description of the conditions when they were taken.)

Henrique de Moraes Holschuh7d5a0152007-04-24 11:48:20 -03001002models which don't have a hardware brightness slider.
1003
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh078ac192009-04-04 04:25:44 +00001004It has some limitations: the LCD backlight cannot be actually turned
1005on or off by this interface, it just controls the backlight brightness
1006level.
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh7d5a0152007-04-24 11:48:20 -03001007
Henrique de Moraes Holschuha3f104c2007-10-30 17:46:20 -02001008On IBM (and some of the earlier Lenovo) ThinkPads, the backlight control
1009has eight brightness levels, ranging from 0 to 7. Some of the levels
1010may not be distinct. Later Lenovo models that implement the ACPI
1011display backlight brightness control methods have 16 levels, ranging
1012from 0 to 15.
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh7d5a0152007-04-24 11:48:20 -03001013
Henrique de Moraes Holschuhd7880f12009-06-18 00:40:16 -03001014For IBM ThinkPads, there are two interfaces to the firmware for direct
1015brightness control, EC and UCMS (or CMOS). To select which one should be
1016used, use the brightness_mode module parameter: brightness_mode=1 selects
1017EC mode, brightness_mode=2 selects UCMS mode, brightness_mode=3 selects EC
1018mode with NVRAM backing (so that brightness changes are remembered across
1019shutdown/reboot).
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh0e501832009-04-04 04:25:53 +00001020
1021The driver tries to select which interface to use from a table of
1022defaults for each ThinkPad model. If it makes a wrong choice, please
1023report this as a bug, so that we can fix it.
Henrique de Moraes Holschuha3f104c2007-10-30 17:46:20 -02001024
Henrique de Moraes Holschuhd7880f12009-06-18 00:40:16 -03001025Lenovo ThinkPads only support brightness_mode=2 (UCMS).
1026
Henrique de Moraes Holschuha3f104c2007-10-30 17:46:20 -02001027When display backlight brightness controls are available through the
1028standard ACPI interface, it is best to use it instead of this direct
Henrique de Moraes Holschuhe11e2112007-10-30 17:46:22 -02001029ThinkPad-specific interface. The driver will disable its native
1030backlight brightness control interface if it detects that the standard
1031ACPI interface is available in the ThinkPad.
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh24d3b772007-07-18 23:45:43 -03001032
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh217f0962010-08-09 23:48:19 -03001033If you want to use the thinkpad-acpi backlight brightness control
1034instead of the generic ACPI video backlight brightness control for some
1035reason, you should use the acpi_backlight=vendor kernel parameter.
1036
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh87cc5372007-10-30 18:02:07 -02001037The brightness_enable module parameter can be used to control whether
1038the LCD brightness control feature will be enabled when available.
Henrique de Moraes Holschuhe11e2112007-10-30 17:46:22 -02001039brightness_enable=0 forces it to be disabled. brightness_enable=1
1040forces it to be enabled when available, even if the standard ACPI
1041interface is also available.

1070 given value. Reads will tell you what brightness the
1071 driver is trying to set the display to when "power" is set
1072 to zero and the display has not been dimmed by a kernel
1073 power management event.
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh7d5a0152007-04-24 11:48:20 -03001074
1075 power:

1080 increase the current power management level, i.e. they can
1081 dim the display.

1105
1106NOTE: distros are urged to not enable volume_control by default, this
1107should be done by the local admin only. The ThinkPad UI is for the
1108console audio control to be done through the volume keys only, and for
1109the desktop environment to just provide on-screen-display feedback.
1110Software volume control should be done only in the main AC97/HDA

Mauro Carvalho Chehabb02f1652019-04-18 11:12:57 -03001114About the ThinkPad Console Audio control
1115^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh169220f2009-12-26 22:52:16 -02001116
1117ThinkPads have a built-in amplifier and muting circuit that drives the
1118console headphone and speakers. This circuit is after the main AC97
1119or HDA mixer in the audio path, and under exclusive control of the
1120firmware.
1121
1122ThinkPads have three special hotkeys to interact with the console
1123audio control: volume up, volume down and mute.
1124
1125It is worth noting that the normal way the mute function works (on
1126ThinkPads that do not have a "mute LED") is:
1127
11281. Press mute to mute. It will *always* mute, you can press it as
1129 many times as you want, and the sound will remain mute.
1130
11312. Press either volume key to unmute the ThinkPad (it will _not_
1132 change the volume, it will just unmute).
1133
1134This is a very superior design when compared to the cheap software-only
1135mute-toggle solution found on normal consumer laptops: you can be
1136absolutely sure the ThinkPad will not make noise if you press the mute
1137button, no matter the previous state.
1138
1139The IBM ThinkPads, and the earlier Lenovo ThinkPads have variable-gain
1140amplifiers driving the speakers and headphone output, and the firmware
1141also handles volume control for the headphone and speakers on these
1142ThinkPads without any help from the operating system (this volume
1143control stage exists after the main AC97 or HDA mixer in the audio
1144path).
1145
1146The newer Lenovo models only have firmware mute control, and depend on
1147the main HDA mixer to do volume control (which is done by the operating
1148system). In this case, the volume keys are filtered out for unmute
1149key press (there are some firmware bugs in this area) and delivered as
1150normal key presses to the operating system (thinkpad-acpi is not
1151involved).
1152
1153
Mauro Carvalho Chehabb02f1652019-04-18 11:12:57 -03001154The ThinkPad-ACPI volume control
1155^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh169220f2009-12-26 22:52:16 -02001156
1157The preferred way to interact with the Console Audio control is the
1158ALSA interface.
1159
1160The legacy procfs interface allows one to read the current state,
Mauro Carvalho Chehabb02f1652019-04-18 11:12:57 -03001161and if volume control is enabled, accepts the following commands::
Borislav Deianov78f81cc2005-08-17 00:00:00 -04001162
1163 echo up >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume
1164 echo down >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume
1165 echo mute >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume
Henrique de Moraes Holschuha112cee2009-12-15 21:51:09 -02001166 echo unmute >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume
Borislav Deianov78f81cc2005-08-17 00:00:00 -04001167 echo 'level <level>' >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume
1168
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh329e4e12009-12-15 21:51:08 -02001169The <level> number range is 0 to 14 although not all of them may be
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh169220f2009-12-26 22:52:16 -02001170distinct. To unmute the volume after the mute command, use either the
Henrique de Moraes Holschuha112cee2009-12-15 21:51:09 -02001171up or down command (the level command will not unmute the volume), or
1172the unmute command.
1173
Henrique de Moraes Holschuha112cee2009-12-15 21:51:09 -02001174You can use the volume_capabilities parameter to tell the driver
1175whether your thinkpad has volume control or mute-only control:
1176volume_capabilities=1 for mixers with mute and volume control,
1177volume_capabilities=2 for mixers with only mute control.
1178
1179If the driver misdetects the capabilities for your ThinkPad model,
1180please report this to ibm-acpi-devel@lists.sourceforge.net, so that we
1181can update the driver.
1182
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh329e4e12009-12-15 21:51:08 -02001183There are two strategies for volume control. To select which one
1184should be used, use the volume_mode module parameter: volume_mode=1
1185selects EC mode, and volume_mode=3 selects EC mode with NVRAM backing
1186(so that volume/mute changes are remembered across shutdown/reboot).
1187
1188The driver will operate in volume_mode=3 by default. If that does not
1189work well on your ThinkPad model, please report this to
1190ibm-acpi-devel@lists.sourceforge.net.
1191
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh0d204c32009-12-15 21:51:11 -02001192The driver supports the standard ALSA module parameters. If the ALSA
1193mixer is disabled, the driver will disable all volume functionality.

Henrique de Moraes Holschuha12095c2006-11-24 11:47:13 -02001210This feature attempts to show the current fan speed, control mode and
1211other fan data that might be available. The speed is read directly
1212from the hardware registers of the embedded controller. This is known
Henrique de Moraes Holschuhecf2a802007-04-27 22:00:09 -03001213to work on later R, T, X and Z series ThinkPads but may show a bogus
Henrique de Moraes Holschuha12095c2006-11-24 11:47:13 -02001214value on other models.
1215
Henrique de Moraes Holschuhd7377242009-06-18 00:40:17 -03001216Some Lenovo ThinkPads support a secondary fan. This fan cannot be
1217controlled separately, it shares the main fan control.

Mauro Carvalho Chehabb02f1652019-04-18 11:12:57 -03001219Fan levels
1220^^^^^^^^^^
Henrique de Moraes Holschuha12095c2006-11-24 11:47:13 -02001221
Henrique de Moraes Holschuhfe98a522007-04-24 11:48:17 -03001222Most ThinkPad fans work in "levels" at the firmware interface. Level 0
1223stops the fan. The higher the level, the higher the fan speed, although
1224adjacent levels often map to the same fan speed. 7 is the highest
1225level, where the fan reaches the maximum recommended speed.
Borislav Deianov78f81cc2005-08-17 00:00:00 -04001226
Henrique de Moraes Holschuhfe98a522007-04-24 11:48:17 -03001227Level "auto" means the EC changes the fan level according to some
1228internal algorithm, usually based on readings from the thermal sensors.
Borislav Deianov78f81cc2005-08-17 00:00:00 -04001229
Henrique de Moraes Holschuhfe98a522007-04-24 11:48:17 -03001230There is also a "full-speed" level, also known as "disengaged" level.
1231In this level, the EC disables the speed-locked closed-loop fan control,
1232and drives the fan as fast as it can go, which might exceed hardware
1233limits, so use this level with caution.
Borislav Deianov78f81cc2005-08-17 00:00:00 -04001234
Henrique de Moraes Holschuhfe98a522007-04-24 11:48:17 -03001235The fan usually ramps up or down slowly from one speed to another, and
1236it is normal for the EC to take several seconds to react to fan
1237commands. The full-speed level may take up to two minutes to ramp up to
1238maximum speed, and in some ThinkPads, the tachometer readings go stale
1239while the EC is transitioning to the full-speed level.
Borislav Deianov78f81cc2005-08-17 00:00:00 -04001240
Henrique de Moraes Holschuha12095c2006-11-24 11:47:13 -02001241WARNING WARNING WARNING: do not leave the fan disabled unless you are
1242monitoring all of the temperature sensor readings and you are ready to
1243enable it if necessary to avoid overheating.
1244
1245An enabled fan in level "auto" may stop spinning if the EC decides the
1246ThinkPad is cool enough and doesn't need the extra airflow. This is
Matt LaPlante01dd2fb2007-10-20 01:34:40 +02001247normal, and the EC will spin the fan up if the various thermal readings
Henrique de Moraes Holschuha12095c2006-11-24 11:47:13 -02001248rise too much.
1249
1250On the X40, this seems to depend on the CPU and HDD temperatures.
1251Specifically, the fan is turned on when either the CPU temperature
1252climbs to 56 degrees or the HDD temperature climbs to 46 degrees. The
1253fan is turned off when the CPU temperature drops to 49 degrees and the
1254HDD temperature drops to 41 degrees. These thresholds cannot
1255currently be controlled.
1256
Henrique de Moraes Holschuha12095c2006-11-24 11:47:13 -02001257The ThinkPad's ACPI DSDT code will reprogram the fan on its own when
1258certain conditions are met. It will override any fan programming done
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh643f12d2007-03-29 01:58:43 -03001259through thinkpad-acpi.
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -07001260
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh643f12d2007-03-29 01:58:43 -03001261The thinkpad-acpi kernel driver can be programmed to revert the fan
Henrique de Moraes Holschuhfe98a522007-04-24 11:48:17 -03001262level to a safe setting if userspace does not issue one of the procfs
1263fan commands: "enable", "disable", "level" or "watchdog", or if there
1264are no writes to pwm1_enable (or to pwm1 *if and only if* pwm1_enable is
1265set to 1, manual mode) within a configurable amount of time of up to
1266120 seconds. This functionality is called fan safety watchdog.
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh38f996e2007-03-23 17:33:59 -03001267
Henrique de Moraes Holschuhfe98a522007-04-24 11:48:17 -03001268Note that the watchdog timer stops after it enables the fan. It will be
1269rearmed again automatically (using the same interval) when one of the
1270above mentioned fan commands is received. The fan watchdog is,
1271therefore, not suitable to protect against fan mode changes made through
1272means other than the "enable", "disable", and "level" procfs fan
1273commands, or the hwmon fan control sysfs interface.

1276^^^^^^^^^^^^
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh38f996e2007-03-23 17:33:59 -03001277
Mauro Carvalho Chehabb02f1652019-04-18 11:12:57 -03001278The fan may be enabled or disabled with the following commands::
Henrique de Moraes Holschuhfe98a522007-04-24 11:48:17 -03001279
1280 echo enable >/proc/acpi/ibm/fan
1281 echo disable >/proc/acpi/ibm/fan
1282
1283Placing a fan on level 0 is the same as disabling it. Enabling a fan
1284will try to place it in a safe level if it is too slow or disabled.
1285
Mauro Carvalho Chehabb02f1652019-04-18 11:12:57 -03001286The fan level can be controlled with the command::
Henrique de Moraes Holschuhfe98a522007-04-24 11:48:17 -03001287
1288 echo 'level <level>' > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
1289
1290Where <level> is an integer from 0 to 7, or one of the words "auto" or
1291"full-speed" (without the quotes). Not all ThinkPads support the "auto"
1292and "full-speed" levels. The driver accepts "disengaged" as an alias for
1293"full-speed", and reports it as "disengaged" for backwards
1294compatibility.
1295
1296On the X31 and X40 (and ONLY on those models), the fan speed can be
1297controlled to a certain degree. Once the fan is running, it can be
Mauro Carvalho Chehabb02f1652019-04-18 11:12:57 -03001298forced to run faster or slower with the following command::
Henrique de Moraes Holschuhfe98a522007-04-24 11:48:17 -03001299
1300 echo 'speed <speed>' > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
1301
1302The sustainable range of fan speeds on the X40 appears to be from about
13033700 to about 7350. Values outside this range either do not have any
1304effect or the fan speed eventually settles somewhere in that range. The
1305fan cannot be stopped or started with this command. This functionality
1306is incomplete, and not available through the sysfs interface.
1307
Mauro Carvalho Chehabb02f1652019-04-18 11:12:57 -03001308To program the safety watchdog, use the "watchdog" command::
Henrique de Moraes Holschuhfe98a522007-04-24 11:48:17 -03001309
1310 echo 'watchdog <interval in seconds>' > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
1311
1312If you want to disable the watchdog, use 0 as the interval.
1313

1315^^^^^^^^^^^
Henrique de Moraes Holschuhfe98a522007-04-24 11:48:17 -03001316
1317The sysfs interface follows the hwmon subsystem guidelines for the most
1318part, and the exception is the fan safety watchdog.
1319
Henrique de Moraes Holschuhb39fe582007-04-27 22:00:13 -03001320Writes to any of the sysfs attributes may return the EINVAL error if
1321that operation is not supported in a given ThinkPad or if the parameter
1322is out-of-bounds, and EPERM if it is forbidden. They may also return
1323EINTR (interrupted system call), and EIO (I/O error while trying to talk
1324to the firmware).
1325

1360
1361To stop the fan: set pwm1 to zero, and pwm1_enable to 1.
1362
1363To start the fan in a safe mode: set pwm1_enable to 2. If that fails
Henrique de Moraes Holschuhb39fe582007-04-27 22:00:13 -03001364with EINVAL, try to set pwm1_enable to 1 and pwm1 to at least 128 (255
1365would be the safest choice, though).

Borislav Deianov78f81cc2005-08-17 00:00:00 -04001473Multiple Commands, Module Parameters
1474------------------------------------
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -07001475
1476Multiple commands can be written to the proc files in one shot by
Mauro Carvalho Chehabb02f1652019-04-18 11:12:57 -03001477separating them with commas, for example::
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -07001478
1479 echo enable,0xffff > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey
1480 echo lcd_disable,crt_enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video
1481
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh643f12d2007-03-29 01:58:43 -03001482Commands can also be specified when loading the thinkpad-acpi module,
Mauro Carvalho Chehabb02f1652019-04-18 11:12:57 -03001483for example::
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -07001484
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh643f12d2007-03-29 01:58:43 -03001485 modprobe thinkpad_acpi hotkey=enable,0xffff video=auto_disable

Henrique de Moraes Holschuh132ce092007-04-21 11:08:30 -03001488Enabling debugging output
1489-------------------------
1490
Simon Arlott0f035b82007-10-20 01:30:25 +02001491The module takes a debug parameter which can be used to selectively
Mauro Carvalho Chehabb02f1652019-04-18 11:12:57 -03001492enable various classes of debugging output, for example::
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh132ce092007-04-21 11:08:30 -03001493
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh5f249272008-02-16 02:17:51 -02001494 modprobe thinkpad_acpi debug=0xffff
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh132ce092007-04-21 11:08:30 -03001495
1496will enable all debugging output classes. It takes a bitmask, so
1497to enable more than one output class, just add their values.

Henrique de Moraes Holschuh132ce092007-04-21 11:08:30 -03001514There is also a kernel build option to enable more debugging
1515information, which may be necessary to debug driver problems.
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh0dcef772007-04-21 11:08:34 -03001516
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh176750d2007-04-24 11:48:13 -03001517The level of debugging information output by the driver can be changed
1518at runtime through sysfs, using the driver attribute debug_level. The
1519attribute takes the same bitmask as the debug module parameter above.

1523-----------------------
1524
1525If thinkpad-acpi refuses to detect your ThinkPad, you can try to specify
1526the module parameter force_load=1. Regardless of whether this works or
1527not, please contact ibm-acpi-devel@lists.sourceforge.net with a report.

Mauro Carvalho Chehabb02f1652019-04-18 11:12:57 -03001530Sysfs interface changelog
1531^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh176750d2007-04-24 11:48:13 -03001532
Mauro Carvalho Chehabb02f1652019-04-18 11:12:57 -03001533========= ===============================================================
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh176750d2007-04-24 11:48:13 -030015340x000100: Initial sysfs support, as a single platform driver and
1535 device.
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh94b08712007-07-18 23:45:32 -030015360x000200: Hot key support for 32 hot keys, and radio slider switch
1537 support.
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh741553c2007-07-18 23:45:39 -030015380x010000: Hot keys are now handled by default over the input
1539 layer, the radio switch generates input event EV_RADIO,
1540 and the driver enables hot key handling by default in
1541 the firmware.
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh7fd40022007-09-25 06:38:03 -03001542
15430x020000: ABI fix: added a separate hwmon platform device and
1544 driver, which must be located by name (thinkpad)
1545 and the hwmon class for libsensors4 (lm-sensors 3)
1546 compatibility. Moved all hwmon attributes to this
1547 new platform device.
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh01e88f22008-01-08 13:02:41 -02001548
15490x020100: Marker for thinkpad-acpi with hot key NVRAM polling
1550 support. If you must, use it to know you should not
Frederik Schwarzer0211a9c2008-12-29 22:14:56 +01001551 start a userspace NVRAM poller (allows to detect when
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh01e88f22008-01-08 13:02:41 -02001552 NVRAM is compiled out by the user because it is
1553 unneeded/undesired in the first place).
15540x020101: Marker for thinkpad-acpi with hot key NVRAM polling
Henrique de Moraes Holschuhd0788cf2008-02-16 02:17:56 -02001555 and proper hotkey_mask semantics (version 8 of the
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh01e88f22008-01-08 13:02:41 -02001556 NVRAM polling patch). Some development snapshots of
1557 0.18 had an earlier version that did strange things
1558 to hotkey_mask.
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh50ebec02008-01-08 13:02:55 -02001559
15600x020200: Add poll()/select() support to the following attributes:
1561 hotkey_radio_sw, wakeup_hotunplug_complete, wakeup_reason
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh2586d562009-04-04 04:25:48 +00001562
15630x020300: hotkey enable/disable support removed, attributes
1564 hotkey_bios_enabled and hotkey_enable deprecated and
1565 marked for removal.
Henrique de Moraes Holschuhf21179a2009-05-30 13:25:08 -03001566
15670x020400: Marker for 16 LEDs support. Also, LEDs that are known
1568 to not exist in a given model are not registered with
1569 the LED sysfs class anymore.
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh0d922e32009-09-20 14:09:25 -03001570
15710x020500: Updated hotkey driver, hotkey_mask is always available
1572 and it is always able to disable hot keys. Very old
1573 thinkpads are properly supported. hotkey_bios_mask
1574 is deprecated and marked for removal.
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh347a2682009-12-09 01:36:24 +00001575
15760x020600: Marker for backlight change event support.
Henrique de Moraes Holschuha112cee2009-12-15 21:51:09 -02001577
15780x020700: Support for mute-only mixers.
Henrique de Moraes Holschuhc7ac6292009-12-15 21:51:10 -02001579 Volume control in read-only mode by default.
Henrique de Moraes Holschuh0d204c32009-12-15 21:51:11 -02001580 Marker for ALSA mixer support.
Stanislav Fomichev6b99e352017-06-20 20:45:13 -07001581
15820x030000: Thermal and fan sysfs attributes were moved to the hwmon
1583 device instead of being attached to the backing platform
1584 device.
