Neil Horman 4adccf9fc8 tmon: set umask to a reasonable value
Currently, the tmon umask value is set to 0, which means whatever the permission
mask in the shell are when starting tmon in daemon mode are what the permissions
of any created files will be.  We should likely set something more explicit, so
lets go with the usual 022

Neil Horman 951fda3d8c tmon: Check log file for common secuirty issues
The tmon logging system blindly opens its log file on a static path, making it
very easy for someone to redirect that log information to inappropriate places
or overwrite other users data.  Do some easy checking to make sure we're not
logging to a symlink or a file owned by another user.

Jacob Pan 94f69966fa tools/thermal: Introduce tmon, a tool for thermal subsystem
Increasingly, Linux is running on thermally constrained devices. The simple
thermal relationship between processor and fan has become past for modern
computers.

As hardware vendors cope with the thermal constraints on their products,
more sensors are added, new cooling capabilities are introduced. The
complexity of the thermal relationship can grow exponentially among cooling
devices, zones, sensors, and trip points. They can also change dynamically.

To expose such relationship to the userspace, Linux generic thermal layer
introduced sysfs entry at /sys/class/thermal with a matrix of symbolic
links, trip point bindings, and device instances. To traverse such
matrix by hand is not a trivial task. Testing is also difficult in that
thermal conditions are often exception cases that hard to reach in
normal operations.

TMON is conceived as a tool to help visualize, tune, and test the
complex thermal subsystem.
