Summary

Add ITE 8613 so that superio attaches to that.
Add driver for its HWM to read temperature and fan speed.

Test Plan

I have a mainboard here with this chip on it. Gives reasonable numbers.

i only know of the hardware monitor for my board.

is this still true? see line 448.

mostly copy-pasta'd together from itwd and other drivers already in source.

Is this the right thing to do?
I wrote a sbin tool that opens /dev/io and does raw io to talk to the chip. Now turning that into a driver that exposes the system info as sysctl seems reasonable to me... but maybe this should go somewhere else? I'm looking for opinions.

The superio.c change looks mostly good, but I think that you can use ite_devices for your chip as well.
Most likely it does have the watchdog component.
Also, you were correct about the comment and assert on the possible vendor IDs. Those were not updated when fintek support was added.

Regarding the new HWM driver, I haven't thoroughly reviewed it yet, but from a quick look it has many deviations from FreeBSD code.
You can read style(9) man page and look at the existing code.
Things like:

  • too long lines
  • indentation for continuation lines
  • placement of opening braces { in conditional blocks
  • variable definitions as a separate block
  • debugging printf-s should be removed or conditional

thanks for taking a look.

yeah lots of style issues. i'll fix those.
but otherwise no objection to this being a kmod and putting the temp/fan/etc into sysctls?

add fan speed

Notice that acpi says the temp is 10 deg lower. Looks like it does not take into account the sensor offset. (Or the BIOS is botched... not unlikely tbh...)

So checking my boards ASL and acpi_thermal, looks like access to those hardware monitor registers are completely unsynchronised. That can be a problem: if we allow an unpriviledged user to initiate a read here that could glitch a concurrently running acpi_thermal update. What exactly will happen depends on the BIOS (in the case of my board a user could cause some gpio functions to be triggered, no idea whats hanging off those, maybe just emergency shutdown).

hi @avg , anything else i should change here? good to commit?

fredgraph.png (613×3 px, 146 KB)

works pretty well, here's a grafana screenshot of the numbers that this driver spits out.

ping @avg or @imp: any thoughts here?
works fine for me. Most likely works with any IT87 chip (because thats the datasheet I found), but i only have it8613 to actually test on.

all refreshed into new patches and separated out.
