2013-09-03thermal: thermal_core: allow binding with limits on bind_paramsEduardo Valentin1-0/+7
When registering a thermal zone device using platform information via bind_params, the thermal framework will always perform the cdev binding using the lowest and highest limits (THERMAL_NO_LIMIT). This patch changes the data structures so that it is possible to inform what are the desired limits for each trip point inside a bind_param. The way the binding is performed is also changed so that it uses the new data structure.

2013-09-03drivers: thermal: make usage of CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON optionalEduardo Valentin1-0/+5
When registering a new thermal_device, the thermal framework will always add a hwmon sysfs interface. This patch adds a flag to make this behavior optional. Now when registering a new thermal device, the caller can optionally inform if hwmon interface is desirable. This can be done by means of passing a thermal_zone_params.no_hwmon == true. In order to keep same behavior as of today, all current calls will by default create the hwmon interface.

2013-04-14Thermal: build thermal governors into thermal_sys moduleZhang Rui1-8/+0
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.

2013-04-02thermal: exynos: Adapt to temperature emulation core thermal frameworkAmit Daniel Kachhap1-4/+4
This removes the driver specific sysfs support of the temperature emulation and uses the newly added core thermal framework for thermal emulation. An exynos platform specific handler is added to support this. In this patch, the exynos senor(tmu) related code and exynos framework related (thermal zone, cooling devices) code are intentionally kept separate. So an emulated function pointer is passed from sensor to framework. This is beneficial in adding more sensor support using the same framework code which is an ongoing work. The goal is to finally split them totally. Even the existing read_temperature also follows the same execution method.

2013-02-06thermal: sysfs: Add a new sysfs node emul_temp for thermal emulationAmit Daniel Kachhap1-0/+13
This patch adds support to set the emulated temperature method in thermal zone (sensor). After setting this feature thermal zone may report this temperature and not the actual temperature. The emulation implementation may be based on sensor capability through platform specific handler or pure software emulation if no platform handler defined. This is useful in debugging different temperature threshold and its associated cooling action. Critical threshold's cannot be emulated. Writing 0 on this node should disable emulation.

Intel PowerClamp driver performs synchronized idle injection across all online CPUs. The goal is to maintain a given package level C-state ratio. Compared to other throttling methods already exist in the kernel, such as ACPI PAD (taking CPUs offline) and clock modulation, this is often more efficient in terms of performance per watt.

2012-09-24thermal: add generic cpufreq cooling implementationAmit Daniel Kachhap1-0/+32
This patchset introduces a new generic cooling device based on cpufreq that can be used on non-ACPI platforms. As a proof of concept, we have drivers for the following platforms using this mechanism now: * Samsung Exynos (Exynos4 and Exynos5) in the current patchset. * Freescale i.MX (git://git.linaro.org/people/amitdanielk/linux.git imx6q_thermal) There is a small change in cpufreq cooling registration APIs, so a minor change is needed for Freescale platforms. Brief Description: 1) The generic cooling devices code is placed inside driver/thermal/* as placing inside acpi folder will need un-necessary enabling of acpi code. This code is architecture independent. 2) This patchset adds generic cpu cooling low level implementation through frequency clipping. In future, other cpu related cooling devices may be added here. An ACPI version of this already exists (drivers/acpi/processor_thermal.c) .But this will be useful for platforms like ARM using the generic thermal interface along with the generic cpu cooling devices. The cooling device registration API's return cooling device pointers which can be easily binded with the thermal zone trip points. The important APIs exposed are, a) struct thermal_cooling_device *cpufreq_cooling_register( struct cpumask *clip_cpus) b) void cpufreq_cooling_unregister(struct thermal_cooling_device *cdev) 3) Samsung exynos platform thermal implementation is done using the generic cpu cooling APIs and the new trip type. The temperature sensor driver present in the hwmon folder(registered as hwmon driver) is moved to thermal folder and registered as a thermal driver. A simple data/control flow diagrams is shown below, Core Linux thermal <-----> Exynos thermal interface <----- Temperature Sensor | | \|/ | Cpufreq cooling device <--------------- TODO: *Will send the DT enablement patches later after the driver is merged. This patch: Add support for generic cpu thermal cooling low level implementations using frequency scaling up/down based on the registration parameters. Different cpu related cooling devices can be registered by the user and the binding of these cooling devices to the corresponding trip points can be easily done as the registration APIs return the cooling device pointer. The user of these APIs are responsible for passing clipping frequency . The drivers can also register to recieve notification about any cooling action called.
