The power allocator governor is a thermal governor that controls system
and device power allocation to control temperature. Conceptually, the
implementation divides the sustainable power of a thermal zone among
all the heat sources in that zone.
This governor relies on "power actors", entities that represent heat
sources. They can report current and maximum power consumption and
can set a given maximum power consumption, usually via a cooling
device.
The governor uses a Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller
driven by the temperature of the thermal zone. The output of the
controller is a power budget that is then allocated to each power
actor that can have bearing on the temperature we are trying to
control. It decides how much power to give each cooling device based
on the performance they are requesting. The PID controller ensures
that the total power budget does not exceed the control temperature.

A governor may need to store its current state between calls to
throttle(). That state depends on the thermal zone, so store it as
private data in struct thermal_zone_device.
The governors may have two new ops: bind_to_tz() and unbind_from_tz().
When provided, these functions let governors do some initialization
and teardown when they are bound/unbound to a tz and possibly store that
information in the governor_data field of the struct
thermal_zone_device.

peripheral outputs a pulse on an interrupt line whenever the

Register a thermal sensor. The temperature reported by this thermal
sensor device should reflect the actual PMIC die temperature if an
ADC is present on the given PMIC. If no ADC is present, then the

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.

Add registers, bit fields and compatible strings for Exynos7 TMU
(Thermal Management Unit). Following are a few of the differences
in the Exynos7 TMU from earlier SoCs:
- 8 trigger levels
- Different bit offsets and more registers for the rising
and falling thresholds.
- New power down detection bit in the TMU_CONTROL register
which does not update the CURRENT_TEMP0 when tmu power down
is detected.
- Change in bit offset for the NEXT_DATA field of EMUL_CON
register. EMUL_CON register address has also changed.
- INTSTAT and INTCLEAR registers present in earlier SoCs
have been combined into one INTPEND register. The register
address for INTCLEAR and INTPEND is also different.
- Since there are 8 rising/falling interrupts as against
at most 4 in earlier SoCs the INTEN bit offsets are different.
- Multiple probe support which is handled by a TMU_CONTROL1
register (No support for this in the current patch).
This patch adds special clock support required only for Exynos7. It
also updates the "code_to_temp" prototype as Exynos7 has 9 bit
code-temp mapping.

Contrary to common expectations for an "int" return, these functions
return only a positive value -- if used correctly they cannot even
return 0 because the message header will necessarily be in the skb.
This makes the very common pattern of
if (genlmsg_end(...) < 0) { ... }
be a whole bunch of dead code. Many places also simply do
return nlmsg_end(...);
and the caller is expected to deal with it.
This also commonly (at least for me) causes errors, because it is very
common to write
if (my_function(...))
/* error condition */
and if my_function() does "return nlmsg_end()" this is of course wrong.
Additionally, there's not a single place in the kernel that actually
needs the message length returned, and if anyone needs it later then
it'll be very easy to just use skb->len there.
Remove this, and make the functions void. This removes a bunch of dead
code as described above. The patch adds lines because I did
- return nlmsg_end(...);
+ nlmsg_end(...);
+ return 0;
I could have preserved all the function's return values by returning
skb->len, but instead I've audited all the places calling the affected
functions and found that none cared. A few places actually compared
the return value with <= 0 in dump functionality, but that could just
be changed to < 0 with no change in behaviour, so I opted for the more
efficient version.
One instance of the error I've made numerous times now is also present
in net/phonet/pn_netlink.c in the route_dumpit() function - it didn't
check for <0 or <=0 and thus broke out of the loop every single time.
I've preserved this since it will (I think) have caused the messages to
userspace to be formatted differently with just a single message for
every SKB returned to userspace. It's possible that this isn't needed
for the tools that actually use this, but I don't even know what they
are so couldn't test that changing this behaviour would be acceptable.
