When multiple thermal zones are bound to the same cooling device, multiple
kernel threads may want to update the cooling device state by calling
thermal_cdev_update(). Having cdev not protected by a mutex can lead to a race
condition. Consider the following situation with two kernel threads k1 and k2:
Thread k1 Thread k2
||
|| call thermal_cdev_update()
|| ...
|| set_cur_state(cdev, target);
call power_actor_set_power() ||
... ||
instance->target = state; ||
cdev->updated = false; ||
|| cdev->updated = true;
|| // completes execution
call thermal_cdev_update() ||
// cdev->updated == true ||
return; ||
\/
time
k2 has already looped through the thermal instances looking for the deepest
cooling device state and is preempted right before setting cdev->updated to
true. Now, k1 runs, modifies the thermal instance state and sets cdev->updated
to false. Then, k1 is preempted and k2 continues the execution by setting
cdev->updated to true, therefore preventing k1 from performing the update.
Notice that this is not an issue if k2 looks at the instance->target modified by
k1 "after" it is assigned by k1. In fact, in this case the update will happen
anyway and k1 can safely return immediately from thermal_cdev_update().
This may lead to a situation where a thermal governor never updates the cooling
device. For example, this is the case for the step_wise governor: when calling
the function thermal_zone_trip_update(), the governor may always get a new state
equal to the old one (which, however, wasn't notified to the cooling device) and
will therefore skip the update.

After thermal zone device registered, as we have not read any
temperature before, thus tz->temperature should not be 0,
which actually means 0C, and thermal trend is not available.
In this case, we need specially handling for the first
thermal_zone_device_update().
Both thermal core framework and step_wise governor is
enhanced to handle this. And since the step_wise governor
is the only one that uses trends, so it's the only thermal
governor that needs to be updated.

The thermal code uses int, long and unsigned long for temperatures
in different places.
Using an unsigned type limits the thermal framework to positive
temperatures without need. Also several drivers currently will report
temperatures near UINT_MAX for temperatures below 0°C. This will probably
immediately shut the machine down due to overtemperature if started below
0°C.
'long' is 64bit on several architectures. This is not needed since INT_MAX °mC
is above the melting point of all known materials.
Consistently use a plain 'int' for temperatures throughout the thermal code and
the drivers. This only changes the places in the drivers where the temperature
is passed around as pointer, when drivers internally use another type this is
not changed.

It turns out that some boards can have instance->lower greater than 0 and
when thermal trend is dropping it results with next_target equal to -1.
Since the next_target is defined as unsigned long it is interpreted as
0xFFFFFFFF and larger than instance->upper.
As a result the next_target is set to instance->upper which ramps up to
maximal cooling device target when the temperature is steadily decreasing.

In case the trend is not changing or when there is no
request for throttling, it is expected that the instance
would not change its requested target. This patch improves
the code implementation to cover for this expected behavior.
With current implementation, the instance will always
reset to cdev.cur_state, even in not expected cases,
like those mentioned above.
This patch changes the step_wise governor implementation
of get_target so that we accomplish:
(a) - default value will be current instance->target, so
we do not change the thermal instance target unnecessarily.
(b) - the code now it is clear about what is the intention.
There is a clear statement of what are the expected outcomes
(c) - removal of hardcoded constants, now it is put in use
the THERMAL_NO_TARGET macro.
(d) - variable names are also improved so that reader can
clearly understand the difference between instance cur target,
next target and cdev cur_state.

The cooling device only needs update on a new target state. Since we
already check old target in thermal_zone_trip_update(), we can do one
more check to see if it's a new target state. If not, we can reasonably
save some uncecesary code execution.

The thermal governors are part of the thermal framework,
rather than a seperate feature/module.
Because the generic thermal layer can not work without
thermal governors, and it must load the thermal governors
during its initialization.
Build them into one module in this patch.
This also fix a problem that the generic thermal layer does not
work when CONFIG_THERMAL=m and CONFIG_THERMAL_GOV_XXX=y.

When selecting a target cooling state in get_target_state(), make sure
that the state is at least as high as the minimum when the temperature
is rising and at least as low as the maximum when the temperature is
falling. This is necessary because, in the THREAML_TREND_RAISING and
THERMAL_TREND_DROPPING cases, the current state may only be incremented
or decremented by one even if it is outside the bounds of the thermal
instance. This might occur, for example, if the CPU is heating up
and hits a thermal trip point for the first time when it's frequency
is much higher than the range specified by the thermal instance
corresponding to the trip point.

This patch adds a simple step_wise governor to the
generic thermal layer. This algorithm throttles the
cooling devices in a linear fashion. If the 'trend'
is heating, it throttles by one step. And if the
thermal trend is cooling it de-throttles by one step.
This actually moves the throttling logic from thermal_sys.c
and puts inside step_wise.c, without any change.
