Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] Thermal ACPI APIs for generic trip points

Recently sent as a RFC, the thermal ACPI for generic trip points is a set of
functions to fill the generic trip points structure which will become the
standard structure for the thermal framework and its users.

Different Intel drivers and the ACPI thermal driver are using the ACPI tables to
get the thermal zone information. As those are getting the same information,
providing this set of ACPI function with the generic trip points will
consolidate the code.

Also, the Intel PCH and the Intel 34xx drivers are converted to use the generic
trip points relying on the ACPI generic trip point parsing functions.

These changes have been tested on a Thinkpad Lenovo x280 with the PCH and
INT34xx drivers. No regression have been observed, the trip points remain the
same for what is described on this system.

Changelog:

- V3:
- Took into account Rafael's comments
- Used a silence option THERMAL_ACPI in order to stay consistent
with THERMAL_OF. It is up to the API user to select the option.

- V2:
- Fix the thermal ACPI patch where the thermal_acpi.c was not included in
the series
- Provide a couple of users of this API which could have been tested on a
real system

From: Daniel Lezcano <[email protected]>

The thermal framework gives the possibility to register the trip
points with the thermal zone. When that is done, no get_trip_* ops are
needed and they can be removed.

Convert the ops content logic into generic trip points and register
them with the thermal zone.

In order to consolidate the code, use the ACPI thermal framework API
to fill the generic trip point from the ACPI tables.

It has been tested on a Intel i7-8650U - x280 with the INT3400, the
PCH, ACPITZ, and x86_pkg_temp. No regression observed so far.

Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] thermal/acpi: Add ACPI trip point routines

From: Daniel Lezcano <[email protected]>

The ACPI specification describes the trip points, the device tree
bindings as well.

The OF code uses the generic trip point structures.

The ACPI has their own trip points structure and uses the get_trip_*
ops to retrieve them.

We can do the same as the OF code and create a set of ACPI functions
to retrieve a trip point description. Having a common code for ACPI
will help to cleanup the remaining Intel drivers and get rid of the
get_trip_* functions.

These changes add the ACPI thermal calls to retrieve the basic
information we need to be reused in the thermal ACPI and Intel
drivers.

The different ACPI functions have the generic trip point structure
passed as parameter where it is filled.

This structure aims to be the one used by all the thermal drivers and
the thermal framework.

After this series, a couple of Intel drivers and the ACPI thermal
driver will still have their own trip points definition but a new
series on top of this one will finish the conversion to the generic
trip point handling.

This series depends on the generic trip point added to the thermal
framework and available in the thermal/linux-next branch.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/10/3/456

It has been tested on a Intel i7-8650U - x280 with the INT3400, the
PCH, ACPITZ, and x86_pkg_temp. No regression observed so far.

My understanding is that the ACPI thermal driver
(drivers/acpi/thermal.c) should be one of the top users of these APIs.

Is there any specific reason that it is not included in this patch
series? or is it just that you don't have ACPI thermal driver running
on your test platform?

thanks,
rui

THERMAL_ACPI depends on ACPI but the PCH thermal driver does not.
So we will run into "unmet dependencies" issue when CONFIG_ACPI is
cleared like below

WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for THERMAL_ACPI
Depends on [n]: THERMAL [=y] && ACPI [=n]
Selected by [m]:

Ah yes, indeed. Thanks for spotting this.

Given the code, I think we should do:

select THERMAL_ACPI if ACPI

it is from my POV semantically correct.

Yes, correct.

The generic trip point handling in the acpi thermal driver is another
story. Some code reorg and cleanup should be done before. I have a
series for that but I need to test it more. That is the reason why it
will be submitted after this series is reviewed, so the changes will be
focused on the acpi thermal driver only.

I have a laptop with acpitz but only the critical trip temp.
