Commit Message

Srinivas Pandruvada May 4, 2020, 6:16 p.m. UTC
Add new attributes in thermal syfs when a thermal drivers provides
callbacks for them and CONFIG_THERMAL_USER_EVENT_INTERFACE is defined.

These attribute allow user space to stop polling for temperature.

These attributes are:
- temp_thres_low: Specify a notification temperature for a low
temperature threshold event.
temp_thres_high: Specify a notification temperature for a high
temperature threshold event.
temp_thres_hyst: Specify a change in temperature to send notification
again.

This is implemented by adding additional sysfs attribute group. The
changes in this patch are trivial to add new attributes in thermal
sysfs as done for other attributes.

Isn't it duplicate with the trip point?

A trip point is where an in-kernel governor takes some action. This is
not same as a notification temperature. For example at trip point
configured by ACPI at 85C, the thermal governor may start aggressive
throttling. 
But a user space can set a notification threshold at 80C and start some
active controls like activate some fan to reduce the impact of passive
control on performance.

We need a way to distinguish between temperature notification threshold
and actual trip point. Changing a trip point means that user wants
kernel to throttle at temperature.

Then what is the use of thermal trip type "ACTIVE" ?

This is an example.
The defaults are set by the OEMs via ACPI. User can't modify that if
they want to optimize for their usage on Linux. There are fan control
daemon's which user use on top.

-ENOPARSE. Are you saying users "can" modify these?

In any case, how is what you described earlier not possible with an
ACTIVE trip point directly wired to the fan as a cooling device or
with a HOT trip point that causes the platform driver to send
notification to userspace where a fan control daemon can do what it
needs to?

Basically, I think the issue of polling is orthogonal to the
introduction of the new attributes introduced in this patch and I
don't understand the reason for these attributes from your commit
description.

Most of the x86 laptops will not have an active trip as the fan control
is done by embedded controller. This is a safety and regulatory issue.
Even when you have an active trip it will be read only and also ACPI
fan cooling device will have few fix states to control.

There are fine grain controls on top are available outside of thermal
drivers via hwmon or others.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fan_speed_control#ThinkPad_laptops

Like in thermald we have XML config, which can be used to set different
speed levels at different temperatures. Instead of polling of
temperature, these attributes allow notification of temperature
threshold. We currently mimic this behavior via adding a RW passive
trip (The RW passive trips has a well defined usage different than what
we are using for).
There can be already existing RO passive/active trips in that zone
already bound to some cooling device. So from user space we search for
some RW passive trip and hope this is will give notifications. This I
believe is a hack to use a fake trip point for notifications for
temperature thresholds.

Thanks,
Srinivas
