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.

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.

The fair share governor has the concept of weights, which is the
influence of each cooling device in a thermal zone. The current
implementation forces the weights of all cooling devices in a thermal
zone to add up to a 100. This complicates setups, as you need to know
in advance how many cooling devices you are going to have. If you bind a
new cooling device, you have to modify all the other cooling devices
weights, which is error prone. Furthermore, you can't specify a
"default" weight for platforms since that default value depends on the
number of cooling devices in the platform.
This patch generalizes the concept of weight by allowing any number to
be a "weight". Weights are now relative to each other. Platforms that
don't specify weights get the same default value for all their cooling
devices, so all their cdevs are considered to be equally influential.
It's important to note that previous users of the weights don't need to
alter the code: percentages continue to work as they used to. This
patch just removes the constraint of all the weights in a thermal zone
having to add up to a 100. If they do, you get the same behavior as
before. If they don't, fair share now works for that platform.

The fair share governor is not usable with thermal zones that use the
bind op and don't populate thermal_zone_parameters, the majority of
them. Now that the weight is in the thermal instance, we can use that
in the fair share governor to allow every thermal zone to trivially use
this governor. Furthermore, this simplifies the code.

Currently you can specify the weight of the cooling device in the device
tree but that information is not populated to the
thermal_bind_params where the fair share governor expects it to
be. The of thermal zone device doesn't have a thermal_bind_params
structure and arguably it's better to pass the weight inside the
thermal_instance as it is specific to the bind of a cooling device to a
thermal zone parameter.
Core thermal code is fixed to populate the weight in the instance from
the thermal_bind_params, so platform code that was passing the weight
inside the thermal_bind_params continue to work seamlessly.
While we are at it, create a default value for the weight parameter for
those thermal zones that currently don't define it and remove the
hardcoded default in of-thermal.

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.

This patch introduces a simple 'weight' based
governor named fair_share governor. Whenever the
thermal framework gets notified of the trip point
violation, this governor (if configured), throttles
the cooling devices associated with a thermal zone.
This mapping between a thermal zone and a cooling device
and the effectiveness of cooling are provided in the
platform layer.
