  26. Description:
  27. ------------
  28. ASUS mainboards publish hardware monitoring information via Super I/O
  29. chip and the ACPI embedded controller (EC) registers. Some of the sensors
  30. are only available via the EC.
  31. The driver is aware of and reads the following sensors:
  32. 1. Chipset (PCH) temperature
  33. 2. CPU package temperature
  34. 3. Motherboard temperature
  35. 4. Readings from the T_Sensor header
  36. 5. VRM temperature
  37. 6. CPU_Opt fan RPM
  38. 7. VRM heatsink fan RPM
  39. 8. Chipset fan RPM
  40. 9. Readings from the "Water flow meter" header (RPM)
  41. 10. Readings from the "Water In" and "Water Out" temperature headers
  42. 11. CPU current
  43. 12. CPU core voltage
  44. Sensor values are read from EC registers, and to avoid race with the board
  45. firmware the driver acquires ACPI mutex, the one used by the WMI when its
  46. methods access the EC.
  47. Module Parameters
  48. -----------------
  49. * mutex_path: string
  50. The driver holds path to the ACPI mutex for each board (actually,
  51. the path is mostly identical for them). If ASUS changes this path
  52. in a future BIOS update, this parameter can be used to override
  53. the stored in the driver value until it gets updated.
  54. A special string ":GLOBAL_LOCK" can be passed to use the ACPI
  55. global lock instead of a dedicated mutex.
