The dual tachometer feature is implemented in hardware with a TACHSEL input to indicate the rotor under measurement, and exposed on the device by extending the READ_FAN_SPEED_1 word with two extra bytes*. The need to read the non-standard four-byte response leads to a cut-down implementation of i2c_smbus_xfer_emulated() included in the driver. Further, to expose the second rotor tachometer value to userspace the values are exposed through virtual pages. We re-route accesses to FAN_CONFIG_1_2 and READ_FAN_SPEED_1 on pages 23-28 (not defined by the hardware) to the same registers on pages 0-5, and with the latter command we extract the value from the second word of the four-byte response. * The documentation recommends the slower rotor be associated with TACHSEL=0, which corresponds to the first word of the response. The TACHSEL=0 measurement is used by the controller's closed-loop fan management to judge target fan rate.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
