Some modern systems have very tight thermal tolerances. Because of this
they may cross thermal thresholds when running normal workloads (even
during boot). The CPU hardware will react by limiting power/frequency
and using duty cycles to bring the temperature back into normal range.
Thus users may see a "critical" message about the "temperature above
threshold" which is soon followed by "temperature/speed normal". These
messages are rate-limited, but still may repeat every few minutes.
This issue became worse starting with the Ivy Bridge generation of
CPUs because they include a TCC activation offset in the MSR
IA32_TEMPERATURE_TARGET. OEMs use this to provide alerts long before
critical temperatures are reached.
A test run on a laptop with Intel 8th Gen i5 core for two hours with a
workload resulted in 20K+ thermal interrupts per CPU for core level and
another 20K+ interrupts at package level. The kernel logs were full of
throttling messages.
The real value of these threshold interrupts, is to debug problems with
the external cooling solutions and performance issues due to excessive
throttling.
So the solution here is the following:
- In the current thermal_throttle folder, show:
- the maximum time for one throttling event and,
- the total amount of time the system was in throttling state.
- Do not log short excursions.
- Log only when, in spite of thermal throttling, the temperature is rising.
On the high threshold interrupt trigger a delayed workqueue that
monitors the threshold violation log bit (THERM_STATUS_PROCHOT_LOG). When
the log bit is set, this workqueue callback calculates three point moving
average and logs a warning message when the temperature trend is rising.
When this log bit is clear and temperature is below threshold
temperature, then the workqueue callback logs a "Normal" message. Once a
high threshold event is logged, the logging is rate-limited.
With this patch on the same test laptop, no warnings are printed in the logs
as the max time the processor could bring the temperature under control is
only 280 ms.
This implementation is done with the inputs from Alan Cox and Tony Luck.
