[PATCH 0/4] thermal: Introduce support for monitoring falling temperatures.

[PATCH 0/4] thermal: Introduce support for monitoring falling temperatures.

[Thara Gopinath]

Thermal framework today supports monitoring for rising temperatures and
subsequently initiating cooling action in case of a trip point being 
crossed. There are scenarios where a SoC needs some warming action to be
activated if the temperature falls below a cetain allowable limit.
Since warming action can be considered mirror opposite of cooling action,
most of the thermal framework can be re-used to achieve this.

To enable thermal framework to monitor falling temperature, a new parameter
is added to the thermal trip point binding in the device tree to indicate
the direction(rising/falling) of temperature monitoring. Thermal DT
driver is extended to capture this information from the device tree 
entries and to reflect it in the thermal framework as a new enum
variable in the thermal trip point structure.
As an initial attempt, step-wise governor is extended to support
bi-directional monitoring of temprature if a trip point is hit, depending
on the newly introduced enum variable. Finally thermal sysfs entries are
extended to indicate the trip point monitor direction.

What if it is both?

When do you need this? Seems like you'd always want to monitor both 
directions to undo any action done on rising temp. Unless you want a 
hysteresis, but this doesn't seem like the best way to implement that.

Hi Rob,
Thanks for the review.

The thermal framework is designed in such a manner that I cannot think
of a use case for both.
The framework takes care of removing the warming/cooling action when the
trip point is crossed in the opposite direction. It only needs an
indication on when to start implementing the
action.
For eg. When the temperature crosses/increases above 90 degree, the
framework will start the cooling action and will continue monitoring
till the temperature falls below 90 and the cooling action is removed.
Vice versa when the temperature decreases below say 5 degree, the
framework should  initiate the warming action and monitor till the
temperature rises above and remove the warming action.

So the trip point is really an indication of the temperature crossing a
threshold in the specified direction.

Now this parameter is needed to indicate whether the thermal framework
has to start implementing the warming/cooling action when the
temperature  rises above the trip point or falls below the trip point.

Till now the framework was always assuming that the cooling action had
to be implemented when temperature rises above the trip point.

Stray space after :

> +  Type: boolean                started when the temperature falls below or rises

Unnecessary tab after boolean (I'll fix up the rest of the file in the
yaml conversion)

I suggest not making this boolean. Just use the property as a flag by
itself to denote a falling trip point. No need to deal with true/false
values.

Similarly, the sysfs file would show up only in case of a trip that
sets this flag and just contain a 1, for example.

Add space after full stop.

[PATCH 2/4] thermal: Thermal core and sysfs changes needed to support bi-directional monitoring of trip points.

[Thara Gopinath]

Thermal trip points can be defined to indicate whether a
temperature rise or a temperature fall is to be monitored. This
property can now be defined in the DT bindings for a trip point.
To support this following three changes are introduced to thermal
core and sysfs code.
1. Define a new variable in thermal_trip to capture the monitor
   rising/falling information from trip point DT bindings.
2. Define a new ops in thermal_zone_device_ops that can be populated
   to indicate whether a trip is being monitored for rising or falling
   temperature. If the ops is not populated or if the binding is missing
   in the DT, it is assumed that the trip is being monitored for rising
   temperature. (default behavior today)
3. Introduce sysfs entries for each trip point to read the direction of
   monitoring.

Governors monitoring warming devices need to have support for 
hysteresis. Assume a case where the device is in idle when the 
temperature goes below threshold and we trigger a mitigation. Even a 
minimal workload or even the processing of the threshold by the governor 
could warm the device and put the temperature above the threshold and we 
will have to remove any mitigation. To avoid this ping-pong, its best to 
add a hysteresis support.
