Presumably we should add this to the devicetree bindings, too?

Why did you make this change? I'm pretty sure that we _don't_ want
this since we're using interrupts for the thermal sensor. See commit
22337b91022d ("arm64: dts: qcom: sc7180: Changed polling mode in
Thermal-zones node").

Matthias probably knows better, but I wonder if we should be making
two passive trip levels like we do with CPU. IIRC this is important
if someone wants to be able to use this with IPA.

I was going to ask the same, this shouldn't be needed.

Yes, please introduce a second trip point and make both of them
'passive'.

Resources should be released in reverse order, otherwise the cooling device
could use resources that have already been freed.

I did not check specifically if changing the frequency really uses any of the
resources that are released previously, In any case it's not a good idea to
allow other parts of the kernel to use a half initialized/torn down device.
Even if it isn't a problem today someone could change the driver to use any
of these resources (or add a new one) in a frequency change, without even
thinking about the cooling device, just (rightfully) asuming that things are
set up and torn down in a sane order.

'sane order' relative to what specifically here? Should we worry about
freq change at this point because we have already disabled gpu runtime
pm and devfreq?

As per our understanding unlike "polling-delay", this delay property is
intended to activate polling thread on post trip threshold violation and
it is irrespective of sensor is capable for trip interrupt or not.
This polling is more of governor related. Below are the few references
from Documentation/code which tells polling-delay-passive is needed for
IPA for better IPA performance.

As per Power allocator documentations

1.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/Documentation/driver-api/thermal/power_allocator.rst?h=v5.4.71#n264

"The power allocator governor's PID controller works best if there is a
periodic tick. If you have a driver that calls
`thermal_zone_device_update()` (or anything that ends up calling the
governor's `throttle()` function) repetitively, the governor response
won't be very good. Note that this is not particular to this
governor, step-wise will also misbehave if you call its throttle()
faster than the normal thermal framework tick (due to interrupts for
example) as it will overreact"

2. In Power allocator code, when switch_on/control trip temp violation,
it is enabling passive counter to activate passive polling @
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/drivers/thermal/power_allocator.c?h=v5.4.71#n634

3. while calculating derivative term, it is using passive_delay @

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/drivers/thermal/power_allocator.c?h=v5.4.71#n243

4. Sensor interrupt will work if temperature is fluctuating between
trip_temp and hysteresis. But say a case where we are not enabling
polling-delay-passive. In this case if current temperature >
control_temp trip(2nd passive trip) and
temperature trend is still raising, then sensor high trip will be
disabled (OR configured for critical trip threshold). No more trip
interrupt from sensor until it reaches critical trip or falls below
control_temp hysteresis.
How the governor re-evaluate its next mitigation without passive
polling thread here ?

I think the same is required for CPU thermal zone as well.

Thanks for the explication and pointers!

I ran some tests to re-confirm. For that I lowered the trip point temperatures
of CPU6 to 60/70, to make it easier to trigger throttling without necessarily
affecting the other CPUs. Further I enabled tracing for the events 'thermal_temperature',
'thermal_zone_trip' and 'thermal_power_allocator'. With that I ran a CPU
intensive task on CPU6.

Without polling-delay the trace log looks like this:

irq/40-c263000.-157 [000] .... 48.035986: thermal_temperature: thermal_zone=cpu6-thermal id=6 temp_prev=57800 temp=60000
irq/40-c263000.-157 [000] .... 48.036029: thermal_power_allocator_pid: thermal_zone_id=6 err=10000 err_integral=0 p=2402 i=0 d=0 output=1776

i.e. power_allocator only acts on the sensor interrupts at the trip points

It looks different with a non-zero value for 'polling-delay-passive':

So it seems indeed the 'polling-delay-passive' is needed for better reactivity,
and it should also be re-added to the other thermal zones.

On a different note I first tried something similar on the GPU, the trip points
triggered, however there was no reaction from power_allocator, the reason is
that there is no power information for the GPU (num power actors = 0). It seems
it doesn' make sense to use IPA as long as there is no energy model (even if it
worked by using the lowest frequency as 'estimated power' throttling would
likely be overly aggressive). Since the trip point configuration for IPA and
'step_wise' (and probably others) is somewhat incompatible (IPA aims for a
temperature around the 2nd trip point, 'step_wise' interprets the first trip
point as limit) I think it makes sense to continue with a single trip point
for now.

Thanks

Matthias

Looks like we have consensus here. I will spin another patchset.
Manaf will share a separate patch to fix the CPU tzones.
