You are not describing what is the goal of this change. IIUC, the resulting change will be an on/off action. The thermal zone is mitigated with the highest cooling effect, so the lowest OPP, then the temperature trend is stable until it goes below the trip - margin where the mitigation is stopped. Except, I'm missing something, setting a trip point with a 10000 hysteresis and a cooling map min/max set to the highest opp will result on the same. > Signed-off-by: Anson Huang <Anson.Huang@nxp.com> > --- > drivers/thermal/imx8mm_thermal.c | 27 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > 1 file changed, 27 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/drivers/thermal/imx8mm_thermal.c b/drivers/thermal/imx8mm_thermal.c > index e6061e2..8f6a0b8 100644 > --- a/drivers/thermal/imx8mm_thermal.c > +++ b/drivers/thermal/imx8mm_thermal.c > @@ -38,6 +38,8 @@ > #define TMU_VER1 0x1 > #define TMU_VER2 0x2 > > +#define IMX_TEMP_COOL_MARGIN 10000 > + > struct thermal_soc_data { > u32 num_sensors; > u32 version; > @@ -103,8 +105,33 @@ static int tmu_get_temp(void *data, int *temp) > return tmu->socdata->get_temp(data, temp); > } > > +static int tmu_get_trend(void *p, int trip, enum thermal_trend *trend) > +{ > + struct tmu_sensor *sensor = p; > + int trip_temp, temp, ret; > + > + if (!sensor->tzd) > + return -EINVAL; > + > + ret = sensor->tzd->ops->get_trip_temp(sensor->tzd, trip, &trip_temp); > + if (ret) > + return ret; > + > + temp = READ_ONCE(sensor->tzd->temperature); > + > + if (temp > trip_temp) > + *trend = THERMAL_TREND_RAISE_FULL; > + else if (temp < (trip_temp - IMX_TEMP_COOL_MARGIN)) > + *trend = THERMAL_TREND_DROP_FULL; > + else > + *trend = THERMAL_TREND_STABLE; > + > + return 0; > +} > + > static struct thermal_zone_of_device_ops tmu_tz_ops = { > .get_temp = tmu_get_temp, > + .get_trend = tmu_get_trend, > }; > > static void imx8mm_tmu_enable(struct imx8mm_tmu *tmu, bool enable) >

The goal of this change is to make sure whenever temperature exceeds passive trip point, the highest cooling action will be applied immediately, e.g., if there are many cpufreq OPP, the default cooling will be step by step, it will take some more rounds to make cpufreq drop to lowest OPP, while on i.MX, we expect the cpufreq drop to lowest OPP immediately. > > IIUC, the resulting change will be an on/off action. The thermal zone is > mitigated with the highest cooling effect, so the lowest OPP, then the > temperature trend is stable until it goes below the trip - margin where the > mitigation is stopped. Yes, your understanding is correctly, once the temperature exceeds passive trip point, the highest cooling action will be applied immediately and then it will be stable there until temperature drop to trip - margin, then the cooling action will be cancelled, the margin is to avoid the back and forth near the passive trip point. > > Except, I'm missing something, setting a trip point with a 10000 hysteresis and > a cooling map min/max set to the highest opp will result on the same. Yes setting cooling map min/max cooling state to highest OPP will make the highest cooling action applied immediately, and to have the function of cooling action being cancelled when temperature drops to trip - margin, I have to define another trip point, say passive trip point is 85000, and cooling map min/max set to highest OPP in passive trip point then add another trip point named "active" with 75000, and without any cooling map in it, right? If yes, then I think I can try to make the changes in DT instead of thermal driver. Thanks, Anson

May be I misunderstood but only the change as below is needed.

I tried modifying the min/max to '2' in cooling map, it works that whenever cooling action is needed, the max cooling action will be applied. But I also noticed some behaviors which NOT as expected: 1. to easy the test, I enable the " CONFIG_THERMAL_WRITABLE_TRIPS", and just modify the passive trip threshold to trigger the cooling action, this is much more easy then putting the board into an oven to increase the SoC temperature or running many high loading test to increase the temperature, but when I modify the passive trip threshold to be lower than current temperature, the cooling action is NOT triggered immediately, it is because the default step_wise governor will NOT trigger the cooling action when the trend is THERMAL_TREND_STABLE. But what expected is, when the temperature is exceed the passive trip threshold, the cooling action can be triggered immediately no matter the trend is stable or raising. That means we have to implement our own .get_trend callback? 2. No margin for releasing the cooling action, for example, if cooling action is triggered, when the temperature drops below the passive trip threshold, the cooling action will be cancelled immediately, if SoC keeps running at full performance, the temperature will increase very soon, which may cause the SoC keep triggering/cancelling the cooling action around the passive trip threshold. If there is a margin, the situation will be much better. Do you have any idea/comment about them? Thanks, Anson

You are right, what is expected is, when the temperature exceeds the passive trip threshold, a cooling action happens, the trend is raising in this case. But in your test, it is not what is happening: the trip point is changing, not the temperature. Probably, the cpufreq driver is at its lowest OPP, so there is no room for more cooling effect when changing the trip point. IMO, the test is not right as the trip point is decreased to a temperature where actually the SoC is not hot. If you want to test it easily, I recommend to use dhrystone, something like: dhrystone -t 6 -l 10000 That will make your board to heat immediately. > That > means we have to implement our own .get_trend callback? From my POV it must disappear, because it has little meaning. The governor is the one which should be dealing with that and call the corresponding cooling index. > 2.

There is a work done by Andrzej Pietrasiewicz to disable / enable the thermal zones [1]. I think we should be able to fix that after the changes are done. -- Daniel [1] https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg644762.html

So to apply MAX cooling action immediately, all expected changes for i.MX platforms are to assign min/max cooling index in DT cooling map, I will summit a patch set then. Thanks, Anson.

If thermal_zone_bind_cooling_device() can support parsing other macro new definition like 'THERMAL_MAX_STATE' in DT, then in thermal_core.c, it can get real max state via cdev->ops->get_max_state(cdev, &max_state) and set to lower/upper state, that will help a lot for the case of our i.MX platforms.
