This patch adds support for generic cpu thermal cooling low level
implementations using frequency scaling and cpuhotplugg currently.
Different cpu related cooling devices can be registered by the
user and the binding of these cooling devices to the corresponding
trip points can be easily done as the registration API's return the
cooling device pointer.

Hey Amit, I was able to use your code on an i.MX6Q thermal
implementation and it seemed to work pretty well.  Thanks for adding
this.  A couple of comments below.

Need to add the "const struct cpumask *mask_val" parameter
to this function like it's used above and prototyped in the heard
or else it causes a build error when building
without CONFIG_CPU_FREQ defined.

I don't like how ACTIVE does not have available notification callbacks
like HOT and CRITICAL do.  Perhaps I fail to grasp why they aren't there
but besides just applying a cooling device, one might want to do something
else as well upon hitting these trip points.  So that said, it might be nice
to add a notification to STATE_ACTIVE as well.

Well I added ACTIVE_STATE trip type as just some additional features
over trip type ACTIVE. Also each thermal zone can have more then one
trip types so HOT notifications can still be used. But I like your
suggestion of putting notfications in all the trip types. Lets see if
the maintainers agree to this idea.

Thinking about it a bit more, I didn't consider HOT because it only
notifies when you cross above this trip point and not below and the
use case I had in mind would ideally want to be notified in both
cases.  Also, if ACTIVE/ACTIVE_STATE trip types will always have
cooling devices bound to them, then the notification could be put in
the cooling device code if desired.  I think these features are
separate from your main effort and can be addressed in separate future
patch.

We've been over this kind of thing in the past. cpu hotplug is a 
relatively expensive operation, so people have previously been 
enthusiastic about using the scheduler to simply avoid running anything 
on CPUs if they're overheating. Has any general consensus been reached 
on this?

I'm also not entirely thrilled at now having two ways to manage the cpu 
through the thermal layer. ACPI already plugs in via the passive trip 
points. If we're going to do this then I'd like to see the ACPI code 
merged in with the generic cpu cooling code.

yes you are right that cpuhotplug is an expensive process and it may
further heat up the system before turning off so the ideal way would
be to reduce the capacity of the cpu gradually. Anyway these patches
are only exporting those API's and the actual use of them depends on
the user. Although my bigger focus is on cpufreq as cooling devices so
I might remove cpuhotplug in the next version.

Yeah I also agree that there is a kind of repetition and not entirely
sure where to place these codes. I will try adding them inside acpi.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Why do you need cooling_state to be signed? You used it always against
unsigned values. Besides, the thermal api imposes unsigned long.

Might be interesting to extend this a bit. You could have the
above as default policy setup, but you could also allow people
to change this behavior. For instance, adding some callback option
while registering the cooling device (or a notifier), which would
determine the max_freq for the generic layer. The mechanism to
deploy max_freq into the system must be generic enough with cpufreq
APIs, but the decision to which max_freq to use, could be specific.
Don't you think?

I suppose your original idea was to have this function called only once right?
I'd suggest to add some documentation on this header file to specify this.

Besides, the fact that you receive a cpumask may suggest you could register
different cooling device for subsets of your system cpus.

In any case, if you call this function more than once, you may end with memory leaks
and the last call will be the one acting in the system.

Another thing, I have the impression that solving the config selection in the
header file instead of in .c files is cleaner. If you want to solve the config
selection in .c files, better to do so with Makefiles.

If you keep the ifdefery ( THERMAL vs. HOTPLUG_CPU vs. CPU_FREQ ) here in the
header file, it is easier to read.

Yes, unsigned long is a better way.

I agree that there will always some constraints on the system to cap
the max frequency. But these thermal clippings is called for rare
scenarios. Anyway, Your idea is worth considering. I will check if
cpufreq has any generic way of achieving this.

yes these api's are meant to be called once. I am working on a new
version where all these function will be multi-instance and hence
different cpus can support different frequency clipping.

Yeah, well, the idea was to have the max_freq value coming from some
registered callback in your code, not really on cpufreq.

OK. 

Another point, is about the fact that this implementation is clipping the frequency silently.
I mean, by changing the policy.max_freq, we may conflict with what the user defines as max freq.

+0. Introduction
+
+The generic cpu cooling(freq clipping, cpuhotplug) provides
+registration/unregistration api's to the user. The binding of the cooling
+devices to the trip types is left for the user. The registration api's returns
+the cooling device pointer.
+
+1. cpufreq cooling api's
+
+1.1 cpufreq registration api's
+1.1.1 struct thermal_cooling_device *cpufreq_cooling_register(
+	struct freq_pctg_table *tab_ptr, unsigned int tab_size,
+	const struct cpumask *mask_val)
+
+    This interface function registers the cpufreq cooling device with the name
+	"thermal-cpufreq".
+
+    tab_ptr: The table containing the percentage of frequency to be clipped for
+    each cooling state.
+	.freq_clip_pctg[NR_CPUS]:Percentage of frequency to be clipped for each
+	 cpu.
+	.polling_interval: polling interval for this cooling state.
+    tab_size: the total number of cooling state.
+    mask_val: all the allowed cpu's where frequency clipping can happen.
+
+1.1.2 void cpufreq_cooling_unregister(void)
+
+    This interface function unregisters the "thermal-cpufreq" cooling device.
+
+
+1.2 cpuhotplug registration api's
+
+1.2.1 struct thermal_cooling_device *cpuhotplug_cooling_register(
+	const struct cpumask *mask_val)
+
+    This interface function registers the cpuhotplug cooling device with the name
+	"thermal-cpuhotplug".
+
+    mask_val: all the allowed cpu's which can be hotplugged out.
+
+1.1.2 void cpuhotplug_cooling_unregister(void)
+
+    This interface function unregisters the "thermal-cpuhotplug" cooling device.
