thermal/drivers/step_wise: Fix temperature regulation misbehavior There is a particular situation when the cooling device is cpufreq and the heat dissipation is not efficient enough where the temperature increases little by little until reaching the critical threshold and leading to a SoC reset. The behavior is reproducible on a hikey6220 with bad heat dissipation (eg. stacked with other boards). Running a simple C program doing while(1); for each CPU of the SoC makes the temperature to reach the passive regulation trip point and ends up to the maximum allowed temperature followed by a reset. This issue has been also reported by running the libhugetlbfs test suite. What is observed is a ping pong between two cpu frequencies, 1.2GHz and 900MHz while the temperature continues to grow. It appears the step wise governor calls get_target_state() the first time with the throttle set to true and the trend to 'raising'. The code selects logically the next state, so the cpu frequency decreases from 1.2GHz to 900MHz, so far so good. The temperature decreases immediately but still stays greater than the trip point, then get_target_state() is called again, this time with the throttle set to true *and* the trend to 'dropping'. From there the algorithm assumes we have to step down the state and the cpu frequency jumps back to 1.2GHz. But the temperature is still higher than the trip point, so get_target_state() is called with throttle=1 and trend='raising' again, we jump to 900MHz, then get_target_state() is called with throttle=1 and trend='dropping', we jump to 1.2GHz, etc ... but the temperature does not stabilizes and continues to increase.

We need to keep the current state untouched if the throttle is set, so the temperature can decrease or a higher state could be selected, thus preventing this oscillation. Keeping the next_target untouched when 'throttle' is true at 'dropping' time fixes the issue. The following traces show the governor does not change the next state if trend==2 (dropping) and throttle==1.

thermal: consistently use int for temperatures 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: fix race condition when updating cooling device 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: fix race condition when updating cooling device 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.
