Rafael J. Wysocki ab853509f3 thermal: gov_step_wise: Allow cooling level to be reduced earlier 
[ Upstream commit 2e82368359 ]

The current behavior of the Step-wise thermal governor is to increase
the cooling level one step at a time after trip point threshold passing
by thermal zone temperature until the temperature stops to rise.  Then,
nothing is done until the temperature decreases below the (possibly
updated) trip point threshold, at which point the cooling level is
reduced straight to the applicable minimum.

While this generally works, it is not in agreement with the throttling
logic description comment in step_wise_manage() any more after some
relatively recent changes, and in the case of passive cooling, it may
lead to undesirable performance oscillations between high and low
levels.

For this reason, modify the governor's cooling device state selection
function, get_target_state(), to reduce cooling by one level even if
the temperature is still above the thermal zone threshold, but the
temperature has started to fall down.  However, ensure that the cooling
level will remain above the applicable minimum in that case to pull
the zone temperature further down, possibly until it falls below the
trip threshold (which may now be equal to the low temperature of the
trip).

Doing so should help higher performance to be restored earlier in some
cases which is desirable especially for passive trip points with
relatively high hysteresis values.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
