I've written a quick-and-dirty driver for the built-in digital
temperature sensor in Intel's Core and Core 2 CPUs (and Xeons built on
the Core architecture). The driver exports four sysctl nodes under
hw.coretemp:
hw.coretemp.tjmax Maximum core temperature (currently hardcoded
To 100°C, may actually be 85°C on some systems)
hw.coretemp.delta current temperature in °C below Tj(max)
hw.coretemp.interrupt Lower 32 bits of the IA32_THERMAL_INTERRUPT MSR
hw.coretemp.status Lower 32 bits of the IA32_THERMAL_STATUS MSR
I intend to move these into dev.cpu.N in a later version.
Note that the driver currently makes no attempt to handle multi-CPU
systems; it will simply report the temperature of the CPU that contains
whichever core the requesting process happens to be running on.
