[PATCH V5] thermal/core/power_allocator: reset thermal governor when trip point is changed

From: Di Shen
Date: Sun Jul 09 2023 - 23:33:31 EST


When the thermal trip point is changed, the governor should
be reset so that the policy algorithm can be updated to adapt
to the new trip point.

1.Thermal governor is working for the passive trip point or active
trip point. Therefore, when the trip point is changed it should
reset the governor only for passic/active trip points.

2.For "power_allocator" governor reset, the parameters of pid
controller and the states of power cooling devices should be reset.

2.1
The IPA controls temperature using PID mechanism. It is a closed-
loop feedback monitoring system. It uses the gap between target
temperature and current temperature which says "error" as the
input of the PID controller:

err = desired_temperature - current_temperature
P_max =
k_p * err + k_i * err_integral + k_d * diff_err + sustainable_power

That algorithm can 'learn' from the 'observed' in the past reaction
for it's control decisions and accumulates that information in the
I(Integral) part so that it can conpensate for those 'learned'
mistakes.

Based on the above, the most important is the desired temperature
comes from the trip point. When the trip point is changed, all the
previous learned errors won't help for the IPA. So the pid parameters
should be reset for IPA governor reset.

2.2
Other wise, the cooling devices should also be reset when the trip
point is changed.

This patch adds an ops for the thermal_governor structure to reset
the governor and give the 'reset' function definition for power
allocator. The ops is called when the trip points are changed via
sysfs interface.
