[lm-sensors] coretemp.ko - progress

[Dieter Jurzitza]

Dear listmembers,
I found a source package I could build and integrate into my kernel 2.6.18.8 
in the meantime. The only change I had to do was to integrate
#include <linux/cpu.h> 
into coretemp.c, but maybe this is an openSUSE issue. The source code stems 
from the 29th and 30th of September 2006 (coretemp.c, coretemp.mod.c), I do 
not see release information inside. In addition I switched to 
lm_sensors-2.10.3 because it's sensors_detect supports the coretemp module.

Many many thanks to Rudolf Marek!

Nevertheless, two comments / questions from my side:

1.) when building lm_sensors-2.10.3 on my machine, I stumbled over the 
following line in prog/pwm/fancontrol.original:

@@ -88,7 +88,7 @@
                echo "  MAXTEMP=${AFCMAXTEMP[$fcvcount]}"
                echo "  MINSTART=${AFCMINSTART[$fcvcount]}"
                echo "  MINSTOP=${AFCMINSTOP[$fcvcount]}"
                let fcvcount=fcvcount+1

shouldn't that denote "let fcvcount=$fcvcount+1" (see the "$")? I am not a 
perl expert, but maybe someone could shade a light on this ....

2.) after integrating & building the version of coretemp I downloaded I get 
the following warning message:

WARNING: drivers/hwmon/coretemp.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: 
from .text between 'coretemp_cpu_callback' (at offset 0x1b1) and 
'msr_smp_rdmsr'
could some friendly person explain this to me an tell me whether or not I 
should expect issues here?

Thank you very much for all your ongoing support for lm_sensors,
take care
