Pull thermal control updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"The majority of changes here are related to the general switch-over to
using arrays of generic trip point structures registered along with a
thermal zone instead of trip point callbacks (this has been done
mostly by Daniel Lezcano with some help from yours truly on the Intel
drivers front).
Apart from that and the related reorganization of code, there are some
enhancements of the existing driver and a new Mediatek Low Voltage
Thermal Sensor (LVTS) driver. The Intel powerclamp undergoes a major
rework so it will use the generic idle_inject facility for CPU idle
time injection going forward and it will take additional module
parameters for specifying the subset of CPUs to be affected by it
(work done by Srinivas Pandruvada).
Also included are assorted fixes and a whole bunch of cleanups.

The powercap/idle_inject core uses play_idle_precise() to inject idle
time. But play_idle_precise() can't ensure that the CPU is fully idle
for the specified duration because of wakeups due to interrupts. To
compensate for the reduced idle time due to these wakes, the caller
can adjust requested idle time for the next cycle.
The goal of idle injection is to keep system at some idle percent on
average, so this is fine to overshoot or undershoot instantaneous idle
times.
The idle inject core provides an interface idle_inject_set_duration()
to set idle and runtime duration.
Some architectures provide interface to get actual idle time observed
by the hardware. So, the effective idle percent can be adjusted using
the hardware feedback. For example, Intel CPUs provides package idle
counters, which is currently used by Intel powerclamp driver to
readjust runtime duration.
When the caller's desired idle time over a period is less or greater
than the actual CPU idle time observed by the hardware, caller can
readjust idle and runtime duration for the next cycle.
The only way this can be done currently is by monitoring hardware idle
time from a different software thread and readjust idle and runtime
duration using idle_inject_set_duration().
This can be avoided by adding a callback which callers can register and
readjust from this callback function.
Add a capability to register an optional update() callback, which can be
called from the idle inject core before waking up CPUs for idle injection.
This callback can be registered via a new interface:
idle_inject_register_full().
During this process of constantly adjusting idle and runtime duration
there can be some cases where actual idle time is more than the desired.
In this case idle inject can be skipped for a cycle. If update() callback
returns false, then the idle inject core skips waking up CPUs for the
idle injection.

The users of the idle injection framework allow 100% idle injection. For
example: thermal/cpuidle_cooling.c driver. When the ratio is set to
100%, the runtime_duration becomes zero.
However, idle_inject_set_duration() in the idle injection framework
silently ignores run_duration_us == 0 without any error (it is a void
function). The caller will then assume that everything is fine and
100% idle is effective, but in reality the idle duration will not
change.
There are two options:
- The caller may change their max state to 99% instead of 100% and
document that 100% is not supported by the idle inject framework.
- Add 100% idle support to the idle inject framework.
Since there are other protections via RT throttling, this framework can
allow 100% idle. The RT throttling will be activated at 95% idle by
default. The caller disabling RT throttling and injecting 100% idle,
should be aware that CPU can't be used at all.
The idle inject timer is started for (run_duration_us + idle_duration_us)
duration. Hence replace (run_duration_us && idle_duration_us) with
(run_duration_us + idle_duration_us) in the function
idle_inject_set_duration(). Also check for !(run_duration_us +
idle_duration_us) to return -EINVAL in idle_inject_start().

static priority level knowledge from non-scheduler code.
The three APIs for non-scheduler code to set SCHED_FIFO are:

- sched_set_fifo_low()
- sched_set_normal()
These are two FIFO priority levels: default (high), and a 'low' priority level,
plus sched_set_normal() to set the policy back to non-SCHED_FIFO.
Since the changes affect a lot of non-scheduler code, we kept this in a separate
tree.
When merging to the latest upstream tree there's a conflict in drivers/spi/spi.c,
which can be resolved via:
sched_set_fifo(ctlr->kworker_task);

Currently the idle injection framework uses the play_idle() function
which puts the current CPU in an idle state. The idle state is the
deepest one, as specified by the latency constraint when calling the
subsequent play_idle_precise() function with the INT_MAX.
The idle_injection is used by the cpuidle_cooling device which
computes the idle / run duration to mitigate the temperature by
injecting idle cycles. The cooling device has no control on the depth
of the idle state.
Allow finer control of the idle injection mechanism by allowing to
specify the latency for the idle state. Thus the cooling device has
the ability to have a guarantee on the exit latency of the idle states
it is injecting.

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
Lastly, fix the following checkpatch warning:
WARNING: Prefer 'unsigned long' over 'unsigned long int' as the int is unnecessary
+ unsigned long int cpumask[];

The play_idle resolution is 1ms. The intel_powerclamp bases the idle
duration on jiffies. The idle injection API is also using msec based
duration but has no user yet.
Unfortunately, msec based time does not fit well when we want to
inject idle cycle precisely with shallow idle state.
In order to set the scene for the incoming idle injection user, move
the precision up to usec when calling play_idle.

Initially, the cpu_cooling device for ARM was changed by adding a new
policy inserting idle cycles. The intel_powerclamp driver does a
similar action.
Instead of implementing idle injections privately in the cpu_cooling
device, move the idle injection code in a dedicated framework and give
the opportunity to other frameworks to make use of it.
The framework relies on the smpboot kthreads which handles via its
main loop the common code for hotplugging and [un]parking.
This code was previously tested with the cpu cooling device and went
through several iterations. It results now in split code and API
exported in the header file. It was tested with the cpu cooling device
with success.
