      x86: mce: Fix thermal throttling message storm · b417c9fd
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      If a system switches back and forth between hot and cold mode,
the MCE code will print a stream of critical kernel messages.

Extend the throttling code to properly notice this, by
only printing the first hot + cold transition and omitting
the rest up to CHECK_INTERVAL (5 minutes).

This way we'll only get a single incident of:

 [  102.356584] CPU0: Temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled (total events = 1)
 [  102.357000] Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint
 [  102.369223] CPU0: Temperature/speed normal

Every 5 minutes. The 'total events' count tells the number of cold/hot
transitions detected, should overheating occur after 5 minutes again:

[  402.357580] CPU0: Temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled (total events = 24891)
[  402.358001] CPU0: Temperature/speed normal
[  450.704142] Machine check events logged

      x86: mce: Clean up thermal throttling state tracking code · 39676840
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      Instead of a mess of three separate percpu variables, consolidate
the state into a single structure.

Also clean up therm_throt_process(), use cleaner and more
understandable variable names and a clearer logic.

This, without changing the logic, makes the code more
streamlined, more readable and smaller as well:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   1487	    169	      4	   1660	    67c	therm_throt.o.before
   1432	    176	      4	   1612	    64c	therm_throt.o.after
