init_thermal_controller(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this is init_thermal_controller(9), and the NAME entry is init_thermal_controller — Private Function used during initialization. Its whole mission? Inspect the PowerPlay table for obvious signs of corruption. no cap, that's the job. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the signature, copied exactly because we do not play with code, periodt:

int init_thermal_controller (struct pp_hwmgr *hwmgr , const
       ATOM_Tonga_POWERPLAYTABLE *powerplay_table );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hwmgr — Pointer to the hardware manager. 💅
• powerplay_table — Pointer to the PowerPlay Table. 🍓 and here's the lil plot twist: Exception: This implementation always returns 1. 😭

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

bestie, if you want the whole friend group, start with the Kernel file:

• ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/pm/powerplay/hwmgr/process_pptables_v1_0.c

then the reference squad — all iconique, all (9):

• set_hw_cap(9)
