Add thermal.c and thermal.h files that provides interface
APIs to initialize, update/average, track, accumulate and decay
thermal pressure per cpu basis. A per cpu structure max_capacity_info is
introduced to keep track of instantaneous per cpu thermal pressure.
Thermal pressure is the delta between max_capacity and cap_capacity.
API update_periodic_maxcap is called for periodic accumulate and decay
of the thermal pressure. It is to to be called from a periodic tick
function. This API calculates the delta between max_capacity and
cap_capacity and passes on the delta to update_thermal_avg to do the
necessary accumulate, decay and average. API update_maxcap_capacity is for
the system to update the thermal pressure by updating cap_capacity.
Considering, update_periodic_maxcap reads cap_capacity and
update_maxcap_capacity writes into cap_capacity, one can argue for
some sort of locking mechanism to avoid a stale value.
But considering update_periodic_maxcap can be called from a system
critical path like scheduler tick function, a locking mechanism is not
ideal. This means that it is possible the value used to
calculate average thermal pressure for a cpu can be stale for upto 1
tick period.

everything above seems to be there for the cpu cooling device and
should be included in it instead. The scheduler only need the capacity
capping
The cpu cooling device should just set the delta capacity in the
per-cpu variable (see my comment below)

Why don't you just save the delta in the per_cpu variable instead of
the struct max_capacity_info ? You have to compute the delta every
tick whereas we can expect it to not change that much compared to the
number of tick

It can be a firmware  updating the thermal pressure instead of cpu
cooling device. Or may be some other entity .So instead of replicating
this code, isnt't it better to reside in one place ?

Again I think thermal pressure can be applied from other entities like
firmware as well. But  I agree with your point that calculating delta
every tick is not a good idea. How about I move it to
update_maxcap_capacity so that delta is calculate every time an update
comes from cpu cooling device or anybody else ?

But you have now idea which kind of metrics will be provided by
firmware. It might not be a capped frequency and a max frequency but
other metrics.
Also, __max_cap->max_capacity just save in a new per cpu struct the
return of arch_scale_cpu_capacity but this doesn't give us real
benefit

hmm. Why ? It is thermal pressure. It is finally applied to the
scheduler metric cpu_capacity. It should not be anything other than
capacity reduction due to thermal events that should be provided.

I agree. I will change the struct into a single variable delta and
initialize it to 0. populate_max_capacity_info need not be there. I will
have update_maxcap_capacity calculate the delta with
arch_scale_cpu_capacity and store it into a per cpu variable.

What I mean is that you don't know how the value will be provided and
if you will need a cap and a max value. It might easily provide
directly the delta,  or a percent or even something else

Also could you rename this function. You use thermal for the pelt
function so could you align the function names ? either to use thermal
everywhere or another name but could you not mix the naming
If you want to use thermal why not using update_thermal_pressure ? at
least it's easy to understand what it does
