Export Passive version 2 table similar to the way _TRT and _ART tables via IOCTLs. This removes need for binary utility to read ACPI Passive 2 table by providing open source support. This table already has open source implementation in the user space thermald, when the table is part of data vault exported by the int3400 sysfs. This table is supported in some older platforms before Ice Lake generation. Passive 2 tables contain multiple entries. Each entry has following fields: * Source: Named Reference (String). This is the source device for temperature. * Target: Named Reference (String). This is the target device to control. * Priority: Priority of this device compared to others. * SamplingPeriod: Time Period in 1/10 of seconds unit. * PassiveTemp: Passive Temperature in 1/10 of Kelvin. * SourceDomain: Domain for the source (00:Processor, others reserved). * ControlKnob: Type of control knob (00:Power Limit 1, others: reserved) * Limit: The target state to set on reaching passive temperature. This can be a string "max", "min" or a power limit value. * LimitStepSize: Step size during activation. * UnLimitStepSize: Step size during deactivation. * Reserved1: Reserved Three IOCTLs are added similar to IOCTLs for reading TRT: ACPI_THERMAL_GET_PSVT_COUNT: Number of passive 2 entries. ACPI_THERMAL_GET_PSVT_LEN: Total return data size (count x each passive 2 entry size). ACPI_THERMAL_GET_PSVT: Get the data as an array of objects with passive 2 entries.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
