Lukasz Luba c3d438eeb5 arch_topology: Trace the update thermal pressure
Add trace event to capture the moment of the call for updating the thermal
pressure value. It's helpful to investigate how often those events occur
in a system dealing with throttling. This trace event is needed since the
old 'cdev_update' might not be used by some drivers.

The old 'cdev_update' trace event only provides a cooling state
value: [0, n]. That state value then needs additional tools to translate
it: state -> freq -> capacity -> thermal pressure. This new trace event
just stores proper thermal pressure value in the trace buffer, no need
for additional logic. This is helpful for cooperation when someone can
simply sends to the list the trace buffer output from the platform (no
need from additional information from other subsystems).

There are also platforms which due to some design reasons don't use
cooling devices and thus don't trigger old 'cdev_update' trace event.
They are also important and measuring latency for the thermal signal
raising/decaying characteristics is in scope. This new trace event
would cover them as well.

We already have a trace point 'pelt_thermal_tp' which after a change to
trace event can be paired with this new 'thermal_pressure_update' and
derive more insight what is going on in the system under thermal pressure
(and why).

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 Restructured Text 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.
