      thermal: fix race condition when updating cooling device · d0b7306d
      Michele Di Giorgio 提交于
      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.

      thermal: consistently use int for temperatures · 17e8351a
      Sascha Hauer 提交于
      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.

      thermal: Added Bang-bang thermal governor · e4dbf98f
      Peter Feuerer 提交于
      The bang-bang thermal governor uses a hysteresis to switch abruptly on
      or off a cooling device.  It is intended to control fans, which can
      not be throttled but just switched on or off.
      Bang-bang cannot be set as default governor as it is intended for
      special devices only.  For those special devices the driver needs to
      explicitely request it.
