[RFC PATCH v4 5/7] thermal: introduce the Power Allocator governor
From: Javi Merino
Date: Tue Jun 17 2014 - 05:15:50 EST
The power allocator governor is a thermal governor that controls system
and device power allocation to control temperature. Conceptually, the
implementation divides the sustainable power of a thermal zone among
all the heat sources in that zone.
This governor relies on "power actors", entities that represent heat
sources. They can report current and maximum power consumption and
can set a given maximum power consumption, usually via a cooling
device.
The governor uses a Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller
driven by the temperature of the thermal zone. The output of the
controller is a power budget that is then allocated to each power
actor that can have bearing on the temperature we are trying to
control. It decides how much power to give each cooling device based
on the performance they are requesting. The PID controller ensures
that the total power budget does not exceed the control temperature.

+Integration of the power_allocator governor in a platform
+=========================================================
+
+Registering thermal_zone_device
+-------------------------------
+
+An estimate of the sustainable dissipatable power (in mW) should be
+provided while registering the thermal zone. This is the maximum
+sustained power for allocation at the desired maximum temperature.
+This number can vary for different conditions, but the closed-loop of
+the controller should take care of those variations, the
+`sustainable_power` should be an estimation of it. Register your
+thermal zone with `thermal_zone_params` that have a
+`sustainable_power`. If you weren't passing any
+`thermal_zone_params`, then something like this will do:
+
+ static const struct thermal_zone_params tz_params = {
+ .sustainable_power = 3500,
+ };
+
+and then pass `tz_params` as the 5th parameter to
+`thermal_zone_device_register()`
+
+Trip points
+-----------
+
+The governor requires the following two trip points:
+
+1. "switch on" trip point: temperature above which the governor
+ control loop starts operating
+2. "desired temperature" trip point: it should be higher than the
+ "switch on" trip point. It is the target temperature the governor
+ is controlling for.
+
+The trip points can be either active or passive.
+
+Power actors
+------------
+
+Devices controlled by this governor must be registered with the power
+actor API. Read `power_actor.txt` for more information about them.
