Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>, GPL + +1. Testing hibernation (aka suspend to disk or STD) + +To check if hibernation works, you can try to hibernate in the "reboot" mode: + +# echo reboot > /sys/power/disk +# echo disk > /sys/power/state + +and the system should create a hibernation image, reboot, resume and get back to +the command prompt where you have started the transition. If that happens, +hibernation is most likely to work correctly. Still, you need to repeat the +test at least a couple of times in a row for confidence. [This is necessary, +because some problems only show up on a second attempt at suspending and +resuming the system.] Moreover, hibernating in the "reboot" and "shutdown" +modes causes the PM core to skip some platform-related callbacks which on ACPI +systems might be necessary to make hibernation work. Thus, if your machine fails +to hibernate or resume in the "reboot" mode, you should try the "platform" mode: + +# echo platform > /sys/power/disk +# echo disk > /sys/power/state + +which is the default and recommended mode of hibernation. + +Unfortunately, the "platform" mode of hibernation does not work on some systems +with broken BIOSes. In such cases the "shutdown" mode of hibernation might +work: + +# echo shutdown > /sys/power/disk +# echo disk > /sys/power/state + +(it is similar to the "reboot" mode, but it requires you to press the power +button to make the system resume). + +If neither "platform" nor "shutdown" hibernation mode works, you will need to +identify what goes wrong. + +a) Test modes of hibernation + +To find out why hibernation fails on your system, you can use a special testing +facility available if the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_PM_DEBUG set. Then, +there is the file /sys/power/pm_test that can be used to make the hibernation +core run in a test mode. There are 5 test modes available: + +freezer +- test the freezing of processes + +devices +- test the freezing of processes and suspending of devices + +platform +- test the freezing of processes, suspending of devices and platform + global control methods(*) + +processors +- test the freezing of processes, suspending of devices, platform + global control methods(*) and the disabling of nonboot CPUs + +core +- test the freezing of processes, suspending of devices, platform global + control methods(*), the disabling of nonboot CPUs and suspending of + platform/system devices + +(*) the platform global control methods are only available on ACPI systems + and are only tested if the hibernation mode is set to "platform" + +To use one of them it is necessary to write the corresponding string to +/sys/power/pm_test (eg. "devices" to test the freezing of processes and +suspending devices) and issue the standard hibernation commands. For example, +to use the "devices" test mode along with the "platform" mode of hibernation, +you should do the following: + +# echo devices > /sys/power/pm_test +# echo platform > /sys/power/disk +# echo disk > /sys/power/state + +Then, the kernel will try to freeze processes, suspend devices, wait 5 seconds, +resume devices and thaw processes. If "platform" is written to +/sys/power/pm_test , then after suspending devices the kernel will additionally +invoke the global control methods (eg. ACPI global control methods) used to +prepare the platform firmware for hibernation. Next, it will wait 5 seconds and +invoke the platform (eg. ACPI) global methods used to cancel hibernation etc. + +Writing "none" to /sys/power/pm_test causes the kernel to switch to the normal +hibernation/suspend operations. Also, when open for reading, /sys/power/pm_test +contains a space-separated list of all available tests (including "none" that +represents the normal functionality) in which the current test level is +indicated by square brackets. + +Generally, as you can see, each test level is more "invasive" than the previous +one and the "core" level tests the hardware and drivers as deeply as possible +without creating a hibernation image. Obviously, if the "devices" test fails, +the "platform" test will fail as well and so on. Thus, as a rule of thumb, you +should try the test modes starting from "freezer", through "devices", "platform" +and "processors" up to "core" (repeat the test on each level a couple of times +to make sure that any random factors are avoided). + +If the "freezer" test fails, there is a task that cannot be frozen (in that case +it usually is possible to identify the offending task by analysing the output of +dmesg obtained after the failing test). Failure at this level usually means +that there is a problem with the tasks freezer subsystem that should be +reported. + +If the "devices" test fails, most likely there is a driver that cannot suspend +or resume its device (in the latter case the system may hang or become unstable +after the test, so please take that into consideration). To find this driver, +you can carry out a binary search according to the rules: +- if the test fails, unload a half of the drivers currently loaded and repeat +(that would probably involve rebooting the system, so always note what drivers +have been loaded before the test), +- if the test succeeds, load a half of the drivers you have unloaded most +recently and repeat. + +Once you have found the failing driver (there can be more than just one of +them), you have to unload it every time before hibernation. In that case please +make sure to report the problem with the driver. + +It is also possible that the "devices" test will still fail after you have +unloaded all modules. In that case, you may want to look in your kernel +configuration for the drivers that can be compiled as modules (and test again +with these drivers compiled as modules). You may also try to use some special +kernel command line options such as "noapic", "noacpi" or even "acpi=off". + +If the "platform" test fails, there is a problem with the handling of the +platform (eg. ACPI) firmware on your system. In that case the "platform" mode +of hibernation is not likely to work. You can try the "shutdown" mode, but that +is rather a poor man's workaround. + +If the "processors" test fails, the disabling/enabling of nonboot CPUs does not +work (of course, this only may be an issue on SMP systems) and the problem +should be reported. In that case you can also try to switch the nonboot CPUs +off and on using the /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/online sysfs attributes and +see if that works. + +If the "core" test fails, which means that suspending of the system/platform +devices has failed (these devices are suspended on one CPU with interrupts off), +the problem is most probably hardware-related and serious, so it should be +reported. + +A failure of any of the "platform", "processors" or "core" tests may cause your +system to hang or become unstable, so please beware. Such a failure usually +indicates a serious problem that very well may be related to the hardware, but +please report it anyway. + +b) Testing minimal configuration + +If all of the hibernation test modes work, you can boot the system with the +"init=/bin/bash" command line parameter and attempt to hibernate in the +"reboot", "shutdown" and "platform" modes. If that does not work, there +probably is a problem with a driver statically compiled into the kernel and you +can try to compile more drivers as modules, so that they can be tested +individually. Otherwise, there is a problem with a modular driver and you can +find it by loading a half of the modules you normally use and binary searching +in accordance with the algorithm: +- if there are n modules loaded and the attempt to suspend and resume fails, +unload n/2 of the modules and try again (that would probably involve rebooting +the system), +- if there are n modules loaded and the attempt to suspend and resume succeeds, +load n/2 modules more and try again. + +Again, if you find the offending module(s), it(they) must be unloaded every time +before hibernation, and please report the problem with it(them). + +c) Advanced debugging + +In case that hibernation does not work on your system even in the minimal +configuration and compiling more drivers as modules is not practical or some +modules cannot be unloaded, you can use one of the more advanced debugging +techniques to find the problem. First, if there is a serial port in your box, +you can boot the kernel with the 'no_console_suspend' parameter and try to log +kernel messages using the serial console. This may provide you with some +information about the reasons of the suspend (resume) failure. Alternatively, +it may be possible to use a FireWire port for debugging with firescope +(ftp://ftp.firstfloor.org/pub/ak/firescope/). On x86 it is also possible to +use the PM_TRACE mechanism documented in Documentation/power/s2ram.txt . + +2. Testing suspend to RAM (STR) + +To verify that the STR works, it is generally more convenient to use the s2ram +tool available from http://suspend.sf.net and documented at +http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Suspend_to_RAM. + +Namely, after writing "freezer", "devices", "platform", "processors", or "core" +into /sys/power/pm_test (available if the kernel is compiled with +CONFIG_PM_DEBUG set) the suspend code will work in the test mode corresponding +to given string. The STR test modes are defined in the same way as for +hibernation, so please refer to Section 1 for more information about them. In +particular, the "core" test allows you to test everything except for the actual +invocation of the platform firmware in order to put the system into the sleep +state. + +Among other things, the testing with the help of /sys/power/pm_test may allow +you to identify drivers that fail to suspend or resume their devices. They +should be unloaded every time before an STR transition. + +Next, you can follow the instructions at http://en.opensuse.org/s2ram to test +the system, but if it does not work "out of the box", you may need to boot it +with "init=/bin/bash" and test s2ram in the minimal configuration. In that +case, you may be able to search for failing drivers by following the procedure +analogous to the one described in section 1. If you find some failing drivers, +you will have to unload them every time before an STR transition (ie. before +you run s2ram), and please report the problems with them. + +There is a debugfs entry which shows the suspend to RAM statistics.

If there are multiple +batteries with their own chargers acting independently in a system, +the system may need multiple instances of Charger Manager. + +1. Introduction +=============== + +Charger Manager supports the following: + +* Support for multiple chargers (e.g., a device with USB, AC, and solar panels) + A system may have multiple chargers (or power sources) and some of + they may be activated at the same time. Each charger may have its + own power-supply-class and each power-supply-class can provide + different information about the battery status. This framework + aggregates charger-related information from multiple sources and + shows combined information as a single power-supply-class. + +* Support for in suspend-to-RAM polling (with suspend_again callback) + While the battery is being charged and the system is in suspend-to-RAM, + we may need to monitor the battery health by looking at the ambient or + battery temperature. We can accomplish this by waking up the system + periodically. However, such a method wakes up devices unncessary for + monitoring the battery health and tasks, and user processes that are + supposed to be kept suspended. That, in turn, incurs unnecessary power + consumption and slow down charging process. Or even, such peak power + consumption can stop chargers in the middle of charging + (external power input < device power consumption), which not + only affects the charging time, but the lifespan of the battery. + + Charger Manager provides a function "cm_suspend_again" that can be + used as suspend_again callback of platform_suspend_ops. If the platform + requires tasks other than cm_suspend_again, it may implement its own + suspend_again callback that calls cm_suspend_again in the middle. + Normally, the platform will need to resume and suspend some devices + that are used by Charger Manager. + +* Support for premature full-battery event handling + If the battery voltage drops by "fullbatt_vchkdrop_uV" after + "fullbatt_vchkdrop_ms" from the full-battery event, the framework + restarts charging. This check is also performed while suspended by + setting wakeup time accordingly and using suspend_again. + +* Support for uevent-notify + With the charger-related events, the device sends + notification to users with UEVENT. + +2. Global Charger-Manager Data related with suspend_again +======================================================== +In order to setup Charger Manager with suspend-again feature +(in-suspend monitoring), the user should provide charger_global_desc +with setup_charger_manager(struct charger_global_desc *). +This charger_global_desc data for in-suspend monitoring is global +as the name suggests. Thus, the user needs to provide only once even +if there are multiple batteries. If there are multiple batteries, the +multiple instances of Charger Manager share the same charger_global_desc +and it will manage in-suspend monitoring for all instances of Charger Manager. + +The user needs to provide all the three entries properly in order to activate +in-suspend monitoring: + +struct charger_global_desc { + +char *rtc_name; + : The name of rtc (e.g., "rtc0") used to wakeup the system from + suspend for Charger Manager. The alarm interrupt (AIE) of the rtc + should be able to wake up the system from suspend. Charger Manager + saves and restores the alarm value and use the previously-defined + alarm if it is going to go off earlier than Charger Manager so that + Charger Manager does not interfere with previously-defined alarms. + +bool (*rtc_only_wakeup)(void); + : This callback should let CM know whether + the wakeup-from-suspend is caused only by the alarm of "rtc" in the + same struct. If there is any other wakeup source triggered the + wakeup, it should return false. If the "rtc" is the only wakeup + reason, it should return true. + +bool assume_timer_stops_in_suspend; + : if true, Charger Manager assumes that + the timer (CM uses jiffies as timer) stops during suspend. Then, CM + assumes that the suspend-duration is same as the alarm length. +}; + +3. How to setup suspend_again +============================= +Charger Manager provides a function "extern bool cm_suspend_again(void)". +When cm_suspend_again is called, it monitors every battery. The suspend_ops +callback of the system's platform_suspend_ops can call cm_suspend_again +function to know whether Charger Manager wants to suspend again or not. +If there are no other devices or tasks that want to use suspend_again +feature, the platform_suspend_ops may directly refer to cm_suspend_again +for its suspend_again callback. + +The cm_suspend_again() returns true (meaning "I want to suspend again") +if the system was woken up by Charger Manager and the polling +(in-suspend monitoring) results in "normal". + +4. Charger-Manager Data (struct charger_desc) +============================================= +For each battery charged independently from other batteries (if a series of +batteries are charged by a single charger, they are counted as one independent +battery), an instance of Charger Manager is attached to it. + +struct charger_desc { + +char *psy_name; + : The power-supply-class name of the battery. Default is + "battery" if psy_name is NULL. Users can access the psy entries + at "/sys/class/power_supply/[psy_name]/". + +enum polling_modes polling_mode; + : CM_POLL_DISABLE: do not poll this battery. + CM_POLL_ALWAYS: always poll this battery. + CM_POLL_EXTERNAL_POWER_ONLY: poll this battery if and only if + an external power source is attached. + CM_POLL_CHARGING_ONLY: poll this battery if and only if the + battery is being charged. + +unsigned int fullbatt_vchkdrop_ms; +unsigned int fullbatt_vchkdrop_uV; + : If both have non-zero values, Charger Manager will check the + battery voltage drop fullbatt_vchkdrop_ms after the battery is fully + charged. If the voltage drop is over fullbatt_vchkdrop_uV, Charger + Manager will try to recharge the battery by disabling and enabling + chargers. Recharge with voltage drop condition only (without delay + condition) is needed to be implemented with hardware interrupts from + fuel gauges or charger devices/chips. + +unsigned int fullbatt_uV; + : If specified with a non-zero value, Charger Manager assumes + that the battery is full (capacity = 100) if the battery is not being + charged and the battery voltage is equal to or greater than + fullbatt_uV. + +unsigned int polling_interval_ms; + : Required polling interval in ms. Charger Manager will poll + this battery every polling_interval_ms or more frequently. + +enum data_source battery_present; + : CM_BATTERY_PRESENT: assume that the battery exists. + CM_NO_BATTERY: assume that the battery does not exists. + CM_FUEL_GAUGE: get battery presence information from fuel gauge. + CM_CHARGER_STAT: get battery presence from chargers. + +char **psy_charger_stat; + : An array ending with NULL that has power-supply-class names of + chargers. Each power-supply-class should provide "PRESENT" (if + battery_present is "CM_CHARGER_STAT"), "ONLINE" (shows whether an + external power source is attached or not), and "STATUS" (shows whether + the battery is {"FULL" or not FULL} or {"FULL", "Charging", + "Discharging", "NotCharging"}). + +int num_charger_regulators; +struct regulator_bulk_data *charger_regulators; + : Regulators representing the chargers in the form for + regulator framework's bulk functions. + +char *psy_fuel_gauge; + : Power-supply-class name of the fuel gauge. + +int (*temperature_out_of_range)(int *mC); +bool measure_battery_temp; + : This callback returns 0 if the temperature is safe for charging, + a positive number if it is too hot to charge, and a negative number + if it is too cold to charge. With the variable mC, the callback returns + the temperature in 1/1000 of centigrade. + The source of temperature can be battery or ambient one according to + the value of measure_battery_temp. +}; + +5. Notify Charger-Manager of charger events: cm_notify_event() +========================================================= +If there is an charger event is required to notify +Charger Manager, a charger device driver that triggers the event can call +cm_notify_event(psy, type, msg) to notify the corresponding Charger Manager. +In the function, psy is the charger driver's power_supply pointer, which is +associated with Charger-Manager. The parameter "type" +is the same as irq's type (enum cm_event_types). The event message "msg" is +optional and is effective only if the event type is "UNDESCRIBED" or "OTHERS". + +6. Other Considerations +======================= + +At the charger/battery-related events such as battery-pulled-out, +charger-pulled-out, charger-inserted, DCIN-over/under-voltage, charger-stopped, +and others critical to chargers, the system should be configured to wake up. +At least the following should wake up the system from a suspend: +a) charger-on/off b) external-power-in/out c) battery-in/out (while charging) + +It is usually accomplished by configuring the PMIC as a wakeup source. diff --git a/Documentation/power/devices.txt b/Documentation/power/devices.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..504dfe4d --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/power/devices.txt @@ -0,0 +1,670 @@ +Device Power Management + +Copyright (c) 2010-2011 Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>, Novell Inc. +Copyright (c) 2010 Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> + + +Most of the code in Linux is device drivers, so most of the Linux power +management (PM) code is also driver-specific. Most drivers will do very +little; others, especially for platforms with small batteries (like cell +phones), will do a lot. + +This writeup gives an overview of how drivers interact with system-wide +power management goals, emphasizing the models and interfaces that are +shared by everything that hooks up to the driver model core. Read it as +background for the domain-specific work you'd do with any specific driver. + + +Two Models for Device Power Management +====================================== +Drivers will use one or both of these models to put devices into low-power +states: + + System Sleep model: + Drivers can enter low-power states as part of entering system-wide + low-power states like "suspend" (also known as "suspend-to-RAM"), or + (mostly for systems with disks) "hibernation" (also known as + "suspend-to-disk"). + + This is something that device, bus, and class drivers collaborate on + by implementing various role-specific suspend and resume methods to + cleanly power down hardware and software subsystems, then reactivate + them without loss of data. + + Some drivers can manage hardware wakeup events, which make the system + leave the low-power state. This feature may be enabled or disabled + using the relevant /sys/devices/.../power/wakeup file (for Ethernet + drivers the ioctl interface used by ethtool may also be used for this + purpose); enabling it may cost some power usage, but let the whole + system enter low-power states more often. + + Runtime Power Management model: + Devices may also be put into low-power states while the system is + running, independently of other power management activity in principle. + However, devices are not generally independent of each other (for + example, a parent device cannot be suspended unless all of its child + devices have been suspended). Moreover, depending on the bus type the + device is on, it may be necessary to carry out some bus-specific + operations on the device for this purpose. Devices put into low power + states at run time may require special handling during system-wide power + transitions (suspend or hibernation). + + For these reasons not only the device driver itself, but also the + appropriate subsystem (bus type, device type or device class) driver and + the PM core are involved in runtime power management. As in the system + sleep power management case, they need to collaborate by implementing + various role-specific suspend and resume methods, so that the hardware + is cleanly powered down and reactivated without data or service loss. + +There's not a lot to be said about those low-power states except that they are +very system-specific, and often device-specific. Also, that if enough devices +have been put into low-power states (at runtime), the effect may be very similar +to entering some system-wide low-power state (system sleep) ... and that +synergies exist, so that several drivers using runtime PM might put the system +into a state where even deeper power saving options are available. + +Most suspended devices will have quiesced all I/O: no more DMA or IRQs (except +for wakeup events), no more data read or written, and requests from upstream +drivers are no longer accepted. A given bus or platform may have different +requirements though. + +Examples of hardware wakeup events include an alarm from a real time clock, +network wake-on-LAN packets, keyboard or mouse activity, and media insertion +or removal (for PCMCIA, MMC/SD, USB, and so on). + + +Interfaces for Entering System Sleep States +=========================================== +There are programming interfaces provided for subsystems (bus type, device type, +device class) and device drivers to allow them to participate in the power +management of devices they are concerned with. These interfaces cover both +system sleep and runtime power management. + + +Device Power Management Operations +---------------------------------- +Device power management operations, at the subsystem level as well as at the +device driver level, are implemented by defining and populating objects of type +struct dev_pm_ops: + +struct dev_pm_ops { + int (*prepare)(struct device *dev); + void (*complete)(struct device *dev); + int (*suspend)(struct device *dev); + int (*resume)(struct device *dev); + int (*freeze)(struct device *dev); + int (*thaw)(struct device *dev); + int (*poweroff)(struct device *dev); + int (*restore)(struct device *dev); + int (*suspend_late)(struct device *dev); + int (*resume_early)(struct device *dev); + int (*freeze_late)(struct device *dev); + int (*thaw_early)(struct device *dev); + int (*poweroff_late)(struct device *dev); + int (*restore_early)(struct device *dev); + int (*suspend_noirq)(struct device *dev); + int (*resume_noirq)(struct device *dev); + int (*freeze_noirq)(struct device *dev); + int (*thaw_noirq)(struct device *dev); + int (*poweroff_noirq)(struct device *dev); + int (*restore_noirq)(struct device *dev); + int (*runtime_suspend)(struct device *dev); + int (*runtime_resume)(struct device *dev); + int (*runtime_idle)(struct device *dev); +}; + +This structure is defined in include/linux/pm.h and the methods included in it +are also described in that file. Their roles will be explained in what follows. +For now, it should be sufficient to remember that the last three methods are +specific to runtime power management while the remaining ones are used during +system-wide power transitions. + +There also is a deprecated "old" or "legacy" interface for power management +operations available at least for some subsystems. This approach does not use +struct dev_pm_ops objects and it is suitable only for implementing system sleep +power management methods. Therefore it is not described in this document, so +please refer directly to the source code for more information about it. + + +Subsystem-Level Methods +----------------------- +The core methods to suspend and resume devices reside in struct dev_pm_ops +pointed to by the ops member of struct dev_pm_domain, or by the pm member of +struct bus_type, struct device_type and struct class. They are mostly of +interest to the people writing infrastructure for platforms and buses, like PCI +or USB, or device type and device class drivers. They also are relevant to the +writers of device drivers whose subsystems (PM domains, device types, device +classes and bus types) don't provide all power management methods. + +Bus drivers implement these methods as appropriate for the hardware and the +drivers using it; PCI works differently from USB, and so on. Not many people +write subsystem-level drivers; most driver code is a "device driver" that builds +on top of bus-specific framework code. + +For more information on these driver calls, see the description later; +they are called in phases for every device, respecting the parent-child +sequencing in the driver model tree. + + +/sys/devices/.../power/wakeup files +----------------------------------- +All device objects in the driver model contain fields that control the handling +of system wakeup events (hardware signals that can force the system out of a +sleep state). These fields are initialized by bus or device driver code using +device_set_wakeup_capable() and device_set_wakeup_enable(), defined in +include/linux/pm_wakeup.h. + +The "power.can_wakeup" flag just records whether the device (and its driver) can +physically support wakeup events. The device_set_wakeup_capable() routine +affects this flag. The "power.wakeup" field is a pointer to an object of type +struct wakeup_source used for controlling whether or not the device should use +its system wakeup mechanism and for notifying the PM core of system wakeup +events signaled by the device. This object is only present for wakeup-capable +devices (i.e. devices whose "can_wakeup" flags are set) and is created (or +removed) by device_set_wakeup_capable(). + +Whether or not a device is capable of issuing wakeup events is a hardware +matter, and the kernel is responsible for keeping track of it. By contrast, +whether or not a wakeup-capable device should issue wakeup events is a policy +decision, and it is managed by user space through a sysfs attribute: the +"power/wakeup" file. User space can write the strings "enabled" or "disabled" +to it to indicate whether or not, respectively, the device is supposed to signal +system wakeup. This file is only present if the "power.wakeup" object exists +for the given device and is created (or removed) along with that object, by +device_set_wakeup_capable(). Reads from the file will return the corresponding +string. + +The "power/wakeup" file is supposed to contain the "disabled" string initially +for the majority of devices; the major exceptions are power buttons, keyboards, +and Ethernet adapters whose WoL (wake-on-LAN) feature has been set up with +ethtool. It should also default to "enabled" for devices that don't generate +wakeup requests on their own but merely forward wakeup requests from one bus to +another (like PCI Express ports). + +The device_may_wakeup() routine returns true only if the "power.wakeup" object +exists and the corresponding "power/wakeup" file contains the string "enabled". +This information is used by subsystems, like the PCI bus type code, to see +whether or not to enable the devices' wakeup mechanisms. If device wakeup +mechanisms are enabled or disabled directly by drivers, they also should use +device_may_wakeup() to decide what to do during a system sleep transition. +Device drivers, however, are not supposed to call device_set_wakeup_enable() +directly in any case. + +It ought to be noted that system wakeup is conceptually different from "remote +wakeup" used by runtime power management, although it may be supported by the +same physical mechanism. Remote wakeup is a feature allowing devices in +low-power states to trigger specific interrupts to signal conditions in which +they should be put into the full-power state. Those interrupts may or may not +be used to signal system wakeup events, depending on the hardware design. On +some systems it is impossible to trigger them from system sleep states. In any +case, remote wakeup should always be enabled for runtime power management for +all devices and drivers that support it. + +/sys/devices/.../power/control files +------------------------------------ +Each device in the driver model has a flag to control whether it is subject to +runtime power management. This flag, called runtime_auto, is initialized by the +bus type (or generally subsystem) code using pm_runtime_allow() or +pm_runtime_forbid(); the default is to allow runtime power management. + +The setting can be adjusted by user space by writing either "on" or "auto" to +the device's power/control sysfs file. Writing "auto" calls pm_runtime_allow(), +setting the flag and allowing the device to be runtime power-managed by its +driver. Writing "on" calls pm_runtime_forbid(), clearing the flag, returning +the device to full power if it was in a low-power state, and preventing the +device from being runtime power-managed. User space can check the current value +of the runtime_auto flag by reading the file. + +The device's runtime_auto flag has no effect on the handling of system-wide +power transitions. In particular, the device can (and in the majority of cases +should and will) be put into a low-power state during a system-wide transition +to a sleep state even though its runtime_auto flag is clear. + +For more information about the runtime power management framework, refer to +Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt. + + +Calling Drivers to Enter and Leave System Sleep States +====================================================== +When the system goes into a sleep state, each device's driver is asked to +suspend the device by putting it into a state compatible with the target +system state. That's usually some version of "off", but the details are +system-specific. Also, wakeup-enabled devices will usually stay partly +functional in order to wake the system. + +When the system leaves that low-power state, the device's driver is asked to +resume it by returning it to full power. The suspend and resume operations +always go together, and both are multi-phase operations. + +For simple drivers, suspend might quiesce the device using class code +and then turn its hardware as "off" as possible during suspend_noirq. The +matching resume calls would then completely reinitialize the hardware +before reactivating its class I/O queues. + +More power-aware drivers might prepare the devices for triggering system wakeup +events. + + +Call Sequence Guarantees +------------------------ +To ensure that bridges and similar links needing to talk to a device are +available when the device is suspended or resumed, the device tree is +walked in a bottom-up order to suspend devices. A top-down order is +used to resume those devices. + +The ordering of the device tree is defined by the order in which devices +get registered: a child can never be registered, probed or resumed before +its parent; and can't be removed or suspended after that parent. + +The policy is that the device tree should match hardware bus topology. +(Or at least the control bus, for devices which use multiple busses.) +In particular, this means that a device registration may fail if the parent of +the device is suspending (i.e. has been chosen by the PM core as the next +device to suspend) or has already suspended, as well as after all of the other +devices have been suspended. Device drivers must be prepared to cope with such +situations. + + +System Power Management Phases +------------------------------ +Suspending or resuming the system is done in several phases. Different phases +are used for standby or memory sleep states ("suspend-to-RAM") and the +hibernation state ("suspend-to-disk"). Each phase involves executing callbacks +for every device before the next phase begins. Not all busses or classes +support all these callbacks and not all drivers use all the callbacks. The +various phases always run after tasks have been frozen and before they are +unfrozen. Furthermore, the *_noirq phases run at a time when IRQ handlers have +been disabled (except for those marked with the IRQF_NO_SUSPEND flag). + +All phases use PM domain, bus, type, class or driver callbacks (that is, methods +defined in dev->pm_domain->ops, dev->bus->pm, dev->type->pm, dev->class->pm or +dev->driver->pm). These callbacks are regarded by the PM core as mutually +exclusive. Moreover, PM domain callbacks always take precedence over all of the +other callbacks and, for example, type callbacks take precedence over bus, class +and driver callbacks. To be precise, the following rules are used to determine +which callback to execute in the given phase: + + 1. If dev->pm_domain is present, the PM core will choose the callback + included in dev->pm_domain->ops for execution + + 2. Otherwise, if both dev->type and dev->type->pm are present, the callback + included in dev->type->pm will be chosen for execution. + + 3. Otherwise, if both dev->class and dev->class->pm are present, the + callback included in dev->class->pm will be chosen for execution. + + 4. Otherwise, if both dev->bus and dev->bus->pm are present, the callback + included in dev->bus->pm will be chosen for execution. + +This allows PM domains and device types to override callbacks provided by bus +types or device classes if necessary. + +The PM domain, type, class and bus callbacks may in turn invoke device- or +driver-specific methods stored in dev->driver->pm, but they don't have to do +that. + +If the subsystem callback chosen for execution is not present, the PM core will +execute the corresponding method from dev->driver->pm instead if there is one. + + +Entering System Suspend +----------------------- +When the system goes into the standby or memory sleep state, the phases are: + + prepare, suspend, suspend_late, suspend_noirq. + + 1. The prepare phase is meant to prevent races by preventing new devices + from being registered; the PM core would never know that all the + children of a device had been suspended if new children could be + registered at will. (By contrast, devices may be unregistered at any + time.) Unlike the other suspend-related phases, during the prepare + phase the device tree is traversed top-down. + + After the prepare callback method returns, no new children may be + registered below the device. The method may also prepare the device or + driver in some way for the upcoming system power transition, but it + should not put the device into a low-power state. + + 2. The suspend methods should quiesce the device to stop it from performing + I/O. They also may save the device registers and put it into the + appropriate low-power state, depending on the bus type the device is on, + and they may enable wakeup events. + + 3 For a number of devices it is convenient to split suspend into the + "quiesce device" and "save device state" phases, in which cases + suspend_late is meant to do the latter. It is always executed after + runtime power management has been disabled for all devices. + + 4. The suspend_noirq phase occurs after IRQ handlers have been disabled, + which means that the driver's interrupt handler will not be called while + the callback method is running. The methods should save the values of + the device's registers that weren't saved previously and finally put the + device into the appropriate low-power state. + + The majority of subsystems and device drivers need not implement this + callback. However, bus types allowing devices to share interrupt + vectors, like PCI, generally need it; otherwise a driver might encounter + an error during the suspend phase by fielding a shared interrupt + generated by some other device after its own device had been set to low + power. + +At the end of these phases, drivers should have stopped all I/O transactions +(DMA, IRQs), saved enough state that they can re-initialize or restore previous +state (as needed by the hardware), and placed the device into a low-power state. +On many platforms they will gate off one or more clock sources; sometimes they +will also switch off power supplies or reduce voltages. (Drivers supporting +runtime PM may already have performed some or all of these steps.) + +If device_may_wakeup(dev) returns true, the device should be prepared for +generating hardware wakeup signals to trigger a system wakeup event when the +system is in the sleep state. For example, enable_irq_wake() might identify +GPIO signals hooked up to a switch or other external hardware, and +pci_enable_wake() does something similar for the PCI PME signal. + +If any of these callbacks returns an error, the system won't enter the desired +low-power state. Instead the PM core will unwind its actions by resuming all +the devices that were suspended. + + +Leaving System Suspend +---------------------- +When resuming from standby or memory sleep, the phases are: + + resume_noirq, resume_early, resume, complete. + + 1. The resume_noirq callback methods should perform any actions needed + before the driver's interrupt handlers are invoked. This generally + means undoing the actions of the suspend_noirq phase. If the bus type + permits devices to share interrupt vectors, like PCI, the method should + bring the device and its driver into a state in which the driver can + recognize if the device is the source of incoming interrupts, if any, + and handle them correctly. + + For example, the PCI bus type's ->pm.resume_noirq() puts the device into + the full-power state (D0 in the PCI terminology) and restores the + standard configuration registers of the device. Then it calls the + device driver's ->pm.resume_noirq() method to perform device-specific + actions. + + 2. The resume_early methods should prepare devices for the execution of + the resume methods. This generally involves undoing the actions of the + preceding suspend_late phase. + + 3 The resume methods should bring the the device back to its operating + state, so that it can perform normal I/O. This generally involves + undoing the actions of the suspend phase. + + 4. The complete phase should undo the actions of the prepare phase. Note, + however, that new children may be registered below the device as soon as + the resume callbacks occur; it's not necessary to wait until the + complete phase. + +At the end of these phases, drivers should be as functional as they were before +suspending: I/O can be performed using DMA and IRQs, and the relevant clocks are +gated on. Even if the device was in a low-power state before the system sleep +because of runtime power management, afterwards it should be back in its +full-power state. There are multiple reasons why it's best to do this; they are +discussed in more detail in Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt. + +However, the details here may again be platform-specific. For example, +some systems support multiple "run" states, and the mode in effect at +the end of resume might not be the one which preceded suspension. +That means availability of certain clocks or power supplies changed, +which could easily affect how a driver works. + +Drivers need to be able to handle hardware which has been reset since the +suspend methods were called, for example by complete reinitialization. +This may be the hardest part, and the one most protected by NDA'd documents +and chip errata. It's simplest if the hardware state hasn't changed since +the suspend was carried out, but that can't be guaranteed (in fact, it usually +is not the case). + +Drivers must also be prepared to notice that the device has been removed +while the system was powered down, whenever that's physically possible. +PCMCIA, MMC, USB, Firewire, SCSI, and even IDE are common examples of busses +where common Linux platforms will see such removal. Details of how drivers +will notice and handle such removals are currently bus-specific, and often +involve a separate thread. + +These callbacks may return an error value, but the PM core will ignore such +errors since there's nothing it can do about them other than printing them in +the system log. + + +Entering Hibernation +-------------------- +Hibernating the system is more complicated than putting it into the standby or +memory sleep state, because it involves creating and saving a system image. +Therefore there are more phases for hibernation, with a different set of +callbacks. These phases always run after tasks have been frozen and memory has +been freed. + +The general procedure for hibernation is to quiesce all devices (freeze), create +an image of the system memory while everything is stable, reactivate all +devices (thaw), write the image to permanent storage, and finally shut down the +system (poweroff). The phases used to accomplish this are: + + prepare, freeze, freeze_late, freeze_noirq, thaw_noirq, thaw_early, + thaw, complete, prepare, poweroff, poweroff_late, poweroff_noirq + + 1. The prepare phase is discussed in the "Entering System Suspend" section + above. + + 2. The freeze methods should quiesce the device so that it doesn't generate + IRQs or DMA, and they may need to save the values of device registers. + However the device does not have to be put in a low-power state, and to + save time it's best not to do so. Also, the device should not be + prepared to generate wakeup events. + + 3. The freeze_late phase is analogous to the suspend_late phase described + above, except that the device should not be put in a low-power state and + should not be allowed to generate wakeup events by it. + + 4. The freeze_noirq phase is analogous to the suspend_noirq phase discussed + above, except again that the device should not be put in a low-power + state and should not be allowed to generate wakeup events. + +At this point the system image is created. All devices should be inactive and +the contents of memory should remain undisturbed while this happens, so that the +image forms an atomic snapshot of the system state. + + 5. The thaw_noirq phase is analogous to the resume_noirq phase discussed + above. The main difference is that its methods can assume the device is + in the same state as at the end of the freeze_noirq phase. + + 6. The thaw_early phase is analogous to the resume_early phase described + above. Its methods should undo the actions of the preceding + freeze_late, if necessary. + + 7. The thaw phase is analogous to the resume phase discussed above. Its + methods should bring the device back to an operating state, so that it + can be used for saving the image if necessary. + + 8. The complete phase is discussed in the "Leaving System Suspend" section + above. + +At this point the system image is saved, and the devices then need to be +prepared for the upcoming system shutdown. This is much like suspending them +before putting the system into the standby or memory sleep state, and the phases +are similar. + + 9. The prepare phase is discussed above. + + 10. The poweroff phase is analogous to the suspend phase. + + 11. The poweroff_late phase is analogous to the suspend_late phase. + + 12. The poweroff_noirq phase is analogous to the suspend_noirq phase. + +The poweroff, poweroff_late and poweroff_noirq callbacks should do essentially +the same things as the suspend, suspend_late and suspend_noirq callbacks, +respectively. The only notable difference is that they need not store the +device register values, because the registers should already have been stored +during the freeze, freeze_late or freeze_noirq phases. + + +Leaving Hibernation +------------------- +Resuming from hibernation is, again, more complicated than resuming from a sleep +state in which the contents of main memory are preserved, because it requires +a system image to be loaded into memory and the pre-hibernation memory contents +to be restored before control can be passed back to the image kernel. + +Although in principle, the image might be loaded into memory and the +pre-hibernation memory contents restored by the boot loader, in practice this +can't be done because boot loaders aren't smart enough and there is no +established protocol for passing the necessary information. So instead, the +boot loader loads a fresh instance of the kernel, called the boot kernel, into +memory and passes control to it in the usual way. Then the boot kernel reads +the system image, restores the pre-hibernation memory contents, and passes +control to the image kernel. Thus two different kernels are involved in +resuming from hibernation. In fact, the boot kernel may be completely different +from the image kernel: a different configuration and even a different version. +This has important consequences for device drivers and their subsystems. + +To be able to load the system image into memory, the boot kernel needs to +include at least a subset of device drivers allowing it to access the storage +medium containing the image, although it doesn't need to include all of the +drivers present in the image kernel. After the image has been loaded, the +devices managed by the boot kernel need to be prepared for passing control back +to the image kernel. This is very similar to the initial steps involved in +creating a system image, and it is accomplished in the same way, using prepare, +freeze, and freeze_noirq phases. However the devices affected by these phases +are only those having drivers in the boot kernel; other devices will still be in +whatever state the boot loader left them. + +Should the restoration of the pre-hibernation memory contents fail, the boot +kernel would go through the "thawing" procedure described above, using the +thaw_noirq, thaw, and complete phases, and then continue running normally. This +happens only rarely. Most often the pre-hibernation memory contents are +restored successfully and control is passed to the image kernel, which then +becomes responsible for bringing the system back to the working state. + +To achieve this, the image kernel must restore the devices' pre-hibernation +functionality. The operation is much like waking up from the memory sleep +state, although it involves different phases: + + restore_noirq, restore_early, restore, complete + + 1. The restore_noirq phase is analogous to the resume_noirq phase. + + 2. The restore_early phase is analogous to the resume_early phase. + + 3. The restore phase is analogous to the resume phase. + + 4. The complete phase is discussed above. + +The main difference from resume[_early|_noirq] is that restore[_early|_noirq] +must assume the device has been accessed and reconfigured by the boot loader or +the boot kernel. Consequently the state of the device may be different from the +state remembered from the freeze, freeze_late and freeze_noirq phases. The +device may even need to be reset and completely re-initialized. In many cases +this difference doesn't matter, so the resume[_early|_noirq] and +restore[_early|_norq] method pointers can be set to the same routines. +Nevertheless, different callback pointers are used in case there is a situation +where it actually does matter. + + +Device Power Management Domains +------------------------------- +Sometimes devices share reference clocks or other power resources. In those +cases it generally is not possible to put devices into low-power states +individually. Instead, a set of devices sharing a power resource can be put +into a low-power state together at the same time by turning off the shared +power resource. Of course, they also need to be put into the full-power state +together, by turning the shared power resource on. A set of devices with this +property is often referred to as a power domain. + +Support for power domains is provided through the pm_domain field of struct +device. This field is a pointer to an object of type struct dev_pm_domain, +defined in include/linux/pm.h, providing a set of power management callbacks +analogous to the subsystem-level and device driver callbacks that are executed +for the given device during all power transitions, instead of the respective +subsystem-level callbacks. Specifically, if a device's pm_domain pointer is +not NULL, the ->suspend() callback from the object pointed to by it will be +executed instead of its subsystem's (e.g. bus type's) ->suspend() callback and +analogously for all of the remaining callbacks. In other words, power +management domain callbacks, if defined for the given device, always take +precedence over the callbacks provided by the device's subsystem (e.g. bus +type). + +The support for device power management domains is only relevant to platforms +needing to use the same device driver power management callbacks in many +different power domain configurations and wanting to avoid incorporating the +support for power domains into subsystem-level callbacks, for example by +modifying the platform bus type. Other platforms need not implement it or take +it into account in any way. + + +Device Low Power (suspend) States +--------------------------------- +Device low-power states aren't standard. One device might only handle +"on" and "off", while another might support a dozen different versions of +"on" (how many engines are active?), plus a state that gets back to "on" +faster than from a full "off". + +Some busses define rules about what different suspend states mean. PCI +gives one example: after the suspend sequence completes, a non-legacy +PCI device may not perform DMA or issue IRQs, and any wakeup events it +issues would be issued through the PME# bus signal. Plus, there are +several PCI-standard device states, some of which are optional. + +In contrast, integrated system-on-chip processors often use IRQs as the +wakeup event sources (so drivers would call enable_irq_wake) and might +be able to treat DMA completion as a wakeup event (sometimes DMA can stay +active too, it'd only be the CPU and some peripherals that sleep). + +Some details here may be platform-specific. Systems may have devices that +can be fully active in certain sleep states, such as an LCD display that's +refreshed using DMA while most of the system is sleeping lightly ... and +its frame buffer might even be updated by a DSP or other non-Linux CPU while +the Linux control processor stays idle. + +Moreover, the specific actions taken may depend on the target system state. +One target system state might allow a given device to be very operational; +another might require a hard shut down with re-initialization on resume. +And two different target systems might use the same device in different +ways; the aforementioned LCD might be active in one product's "standby", +but a different product using the same SOC might work differently. + + +Power Management Notifiers +-------------------------- +There are some operations that cannot be carried out by the power management +callbacks discussed above, because the callbacks occur too late or too early. +To handle these cases, subsystems and device drivers may register power +management notifiers that are called before tasks are frozen and after they have +been thawed. Generally speaking, the PM notifiers are suitable for performing +actions that either require user space to be available, or at least won't +interfere with user space. + +For details refer to Documentation/power/notifiers.txt. + + +Runtime Power Management +======================== +Many devices are able to dynamically power down while the system is still +running. This feature is useful for devices that are not being used, and +can offer significant power savings on a running system. These devices +often support a range of runtime power states, which might use names such +as "off", "sleep", "idle", "active", and so on. Those states will in some +cases (like PCI) be partially constrained by the bus the device uses, and will +usually include hardware states that are also used in system sleep states. + +A system-wide power transition can be started while some devices are in low +power states due to runtime power management. The system sleep PM callbacks +should recognize such situations and react to them appropriately, but the +necessary actions are subsystem-specific. + +In some cases the decision may be made at the subsystem level while in other +cases the device driver may be left to decide. In some cases it may be +desirable to leave a suspended device in that state during a system-wide power +transition, but in other cases the device must be put back into the full-power +state temporarily, for example so that its system wakeup capability can be +disabled. This all depends on the hardware and the design of the subsystem and +device driver in question. + +During system-wide resume from a sleep state it's easiest to put devices into +the full-power state, as explained in Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt. Refer +to that document for more information regarding this particular issue as well as +for information on the device runtime power management framework in general. diff --git a/Documentation/power/drivers-testing.txt b/Documentation/power/drivers-testing.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..638afdf4 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/power/drivers-testing.txt @@ -0,0 +1,46 @@ +Testing suspend and resume support in device drivers + (C) 2007 Rafael J.

Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>, GPL + +I. What is the freezing of tasks? + +The freezing of tasks is a mechanism by which user space processes and some +kernel threads are controlled during hibernation or system-wide suspend (on some +architectures). + +II. How does it work? + +There are three per-task flags used for that, PF_NOFREEZE, PF_FROZEN +and PF_FREEZER_SKIP (the last one is auxiliary). The tasks that have +PF_NOFREEZE unset (all user space processes and some kernel threads) are +regarded as 'freezable' and treated in a special way before the system enters a +suspend state as well as before a hibernation image is created (in what follows +we only consider hibernation, but the description also applies to suspend). + +Namely, as the first step of the hibernation procedure the function +freeze_processes() (defined in kernel/power/process.c) is called. A system-wide +variable system_freezing_cnt (as opposed to a per-task flag) is used to indicate +whether the system is to undergo a freezing operation. And freeze_processes() +sets this variable. After this, it executes try_to_freeze_tasks() that sends a +fake signal to all user space processes, and wakes up all the kernel threads. +All freezable tasks must react to that by calling try_to_freeze(), which +results in a call to __refrigerator() (defined in kernel/freezer.c), which sets +the task's PF_FROZEN flag, changes its state to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and makes +it loop until PF_FROZEN is cleared for it. Then, we say that the task is +'frozen' and therefore the set of functions handling this mechanism is referred +to as 'the freezer' (these functions are defined in kernel/power/process.c, +kernel/freezer.c & include/linux/freezer.h). User space processes are generally +frozen before kernel threads. + +__refrigerator() must not be called directly. Instead, use the +try_to_freeze() function (defined in include/linux/freezer.h), that checks +if the task is to be frozen and makes the task enter __refrigerator(). + +For user space processes try_to_freeze() is called automatically from the +signal-handling code, but the freezable kernel threads need to call it +explicitly in suitable places or use the wait_event_freezable() or +wait_event_freezable_timeout() macros (defined in include/linux/freezer.h) +that combine interruptible sleep with checking if the task is to be frozen and +calling try_to_freeze(). The main loop of a freezable kernel thread may look +like the following one: + + set_freezable(); + do { + hub_events(); + wait_event_freezable(khubd_wait, + !list_empty(&hub_event_list) || + kthread_should_stop()); + } while (!kthread_should_stop() || !list_empty(&hub_event_list)); + +(from drivers/usb/core/hub.c::hub_thread()). + +If a freezable kernel thread fails to call try_to_freeze() after the freezer has +initiated a freezing operation, the freezing of tasks will fail and the entire +hibernation operation will be cancelled. For this reason, freezable kernel +threads must call try_to_freeze() somewhere or use one of the +wait_event_freezable() and wait_event_freezable_timeout() macros. + +After the system memory state has been restored from a hibernation image and +devices have been reinitialized, the function thaw_processes() is called in +order to clear the PF_FROZEN flag for each frozen task. Then, the tasks that +have been frozen leave __refrigerator() and continue running. + + +Rationale behind the functions dealing with freezing and thawing of tasks: +------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +freeze_processes(): + - freezes only userspace tasks + +freeze_kernel_threads(): + - freezes all tasks (including kernel threads) because we can't freeze + kernel threads without freezing userspace tasks + +thaw_kernel_threads(): + - thaws only kernel threads; this is particularly useful if we need to do + anything special in between thawing of kernel threads and thawing of + userspace tasks, or if we want to postpone the thawing of userspace tasks + +thaw_processes(): + - thaws all tasks (including kernel threads) because we can't thaw userspace + tasks without thawing kernel threads + + +III. Which kernel threads are freezable? + +Kernel threads are not freezable by default. However, a kernel thread may clear +PF_NOFREEZE for itself by calling set_freezable() (the resetting of PF_NOFREEZE +directly is not allowed). From this point it is regarded as freezable +and must call try_to_freeze() in a suitable place. + +IV. Why do we do that? + +Generally speaking, there is a couple of reasons to use the freezing of tasks: + +1. The principal reason is to prevent filesystems from being damaged after +hibernation. At the moment we have no simple means of checkpointing +filesystems, so if there are any modifications made to filesystem data and/or +metadata on disks, we cannot bring them back to the state from before the +modifications. At the same time each hibernation image contains some +filesystem-related information that must be consistent with the state of the +on-disk data and metadata after the system memory state has been restored from +the image (otherwise the filesystems will be damaged in a nasty way, usually +making them almost impossible to repair). We therefore freeze tasks that might +cause the on-disk filesystems' data and metadata to be modified after the +hibernation image has been created and before the system is finally powered off. +The majority of these are user space processes, but if any of the kernel threads +may cause something like this to happen, they have to be freezable. + +2. Next, to create the hibernation image we need to free a sufficient amount of +memory (approximately 50% of available RAM) and we need to do that before +devices are deactivated, because we generally need them for swapping out. Then, +after the memory for the image has been freed, we don't want tasks to allocate +additional memory and we prevent them from doing that by freezing them earlier. +[Of course, this also means that device drivers should not allocate substantial +amounts of memory from their .suspend() callbacks before hibernation, but this +is a separate issue.] + +3. The third reason is to prevent user space processes and some kernel threads +from interfering with the suspending and resuming of devices. A user space +process running on a second CPU while we are suspending devices may, for +example, be troublesome and without the freezing of tasks we would need some +safeguards against race conditions that might occur in such a case. + +Although Linus Torvalds doesn't like the freezing of tasks, he said this in one +of the discussions on LKML (http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/27/608): + +"RJW:> Why we freeze tasks at all or why we freeze kernel threads? + +Linus: In many ways, 'at all'. + +I _do_ realize the IO request queue issues, and that we cannot actually do +s2ram with some devices in the middle of a DMA. So we want to be able to +avoid *that*, there's no question about that. And I suspect that stopping +user threads and then waiting for a sync is practically one of the easier +ways to do so. + +So in practice, the 'at all' may become a 'why freeze kernel threads?' and +freezing user threads I don't find really objectionable." + +Still, there are kernel threads that may want to be freezable. For example, if +a kernel thread that belongs to a device driver accesses the device directly, it +in principle needs to know when the device is suspended, so that it doesn't try +to access it at that time. However, if the kernel thread is freezable, it will +be frozen before the driver's .suspend() callback is executed and it will be +thawed after the driver's .resume() callback has run, so it won't be accessing +the device while it's suspended. + +4. Another reason for freezing tasks is to prevent user space processes from +realizing that hibernation (or suspend) operation takes place. Ideally, user +space processes should not notice that such a system-wide operation has occurred +and should continue running without any problems after the restore (or resume +from suspend). Unfortunately, in the most general case this is quite difficult +to achieve without the freezing of tasks. Consider, for example, a process +that depends on all CPUs being online while it's running. Since we need to +disable nonboot CPUs during the hibernation, if this process is not frozen, it +may notice that the number of CPUs has changed and may start to work incorrectly +because of that. + +V. Are there any problems related to the freezing of tasks? + +Yes, there are. + +First of all, the freezing of kernel threads may be tricky if they depend one +on another. For example, if kernel thread A waits for a completion (in the +TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state) that needs to be done by freezable kernel thread B +and B is frozen in the meantime, then A will be blocked until B is thawed, which +may be undesirable. That's why kernel threads are not freezable by default. + +Second, there are the following two problems related to the freezing of user +space processes: +1. Putting processes into an uninterruptible sleep distorts the load average. +2. Now that we have FUSE, plus the framework for doing device drivers in +userspace, it gets even more complicated because some userspace processes are +now doing the sorts of things that kernel threads do +(https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/linux-pm/2007-May/012309.html). + +The problem 1. seems to be fixable, although it hasn't been fixed so far. The +other one is more serious, but it seems that we can work around it by using +hibernation (and suspend) notifiers (in that case, though, we won't be able to +avoid the realization by the user space processes that the hibernation is taking +place). + +There are also problems that the freezing of tasks tends to expose, although +they are not directly related to it. For example, if request_firmware() is +called from a device driver's .resume() routine, it will timeout and eventually +fail, because the user land process that should respond to the request is frozen +at this point. So, seemingly, the failure is due to the freezing of tasks. +Suppose, however, that the firmware file is located on a filesystem accessible +only through another device that hasn't been resumed yet. In that case, +request_firmware() will fail regardless of whether or not the freezing of tasks +is used. Consequently, the problem is not really related to the freezing of +tasks, since it generally exists anyway. + +A driver must have all firmwares it may need in RAM before suspend() is called. +If keeping them is not practical, for example due to their size, they must be +requested early enough using the suspend notifier API described in notifiers.txt. + +VI. Are there any precautions to be taken to prevent freezing failures? + +Yes, there are. + +First of all, grabbing the 'pm_mutex' lock to mutually exclude a piece of code +from system-wide sleep such as suspend/hibernation is not encouraged. +If possible, that piece of code must instead hook onto the suspend/hibernation +notifiers to achieve mutual exclusion. Look at the CPU-Hotplug code +(kernel/cpu.c) for an example. + +However, if that is not feasible, and grabbing 'pm_mutex' is deemed necessary, +it is strongly discouraged to directly call mutex_[un]lock(&pm_mutex) since +that could lead to freezing failures, because if the suspend/hibernate code +successfully acquired the 'pm_mutex' lock, and hence that other entity failed +to acquire the lock, then that task would get blocked in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE +state. As a consequence, the freezer would not be able to freeze that task, +leading to freezing failure. + +However, the [un]lock_system_sleep() APIs are safe to use in this scenario, +since they ask the freezer to skip freezing this task, since it is anyway +"frozen enough" as it is blocked on 'pm_mutex', which will be released +only after the entire suspend/hibernation sequence is complete. +So, to summarize, use [un]lock_system_sleep() instead of directly using +mutex_[un]lock(&pm_mutex). That would prevent freezing failures. + +V.

Introduction +=============== +1.1 What is an Operating Performance Point (OPP)? + +Complex SoCs of today consists of a multiple sub-modules working in conjunction. +In an operational system executing varied use cases, not all modules in the SoC +need to function at their highest performing frequency all the time. To +facilitate this, sub-modules in a SoC are grouped into domains, allowing some +domains to run at lower voltage and frequency while other domains run at +voltage/frequency pairs that are higher. + +The set of discrete tuples consisting of frequency and voltage pairs that +the device will support per domain are called Operating Performance Points or +OPPs. + +As an example: +Let us consider an MPU device which supports the following: +{300MHz at minimum voltage of 1V}, {800MHz at minimum voltage of 1.2V}, +{1GHz at minimum voltage of 1.3V} + +We can represent these as three OPPs as the following {Hz, uV} tuples: +{300000000, 1000000} +{800000000, 1200000} +{1000000000, 1300000} + +1.2 Operating Performance Points Library + +OPP library provides a set of helper functions to organize and query the OPP +information. The library is located in drivers/base/power/opp.c and the header +is located in include/linux/opp.h. OPP library can be enabled by enabling +CONFIG_PM_OPP from power management menuconfig menu. OPP library depends on +CONFIG_PM as certain SoCs such as Texas Instrument's OMAP framework allows to +optionally boot at a certain OPP without needing cpufreq. + +Typical usage of the OPP library is as follows: +(users) -> registers a set of default OPPs -> (library) +SoC framework -> modifies on required cases certain OPPs -> OPP layer + -> queries to search/retrieve information -> + +Architectures that provide a SoC framework for OPP should select ARCH_HAS_OPP +to make the OPP layer available. + +OPP layer expects each domain to be represented by a unique device pointer. SoC +framework registers a set of initial OPPs per device with the OPP layer. This +list is expected to be an optimally small number typically around 5 per device. +This initial list contains a set of OPPs that the framework expects to be safely +enabled by default in the system. + +Note on OPP Availability: +------------------------ +As the system proceeds to operate, SoC framework may choose to make certain +OPPs available or not available on each device based on various external +factors. Example usage: Thermal management or other exceptional situations where +SoC framework might choose to disable a higher frequency OPP to safely continue +operations until that OPP could be re-enabled if possible. + +OPP library facilitates this concept in it's implementation. The following +operational functions operate only on available opps: +opp_find_freq_{ceil, floor}, opp_get_voltage, opp_get_freq, opp_get_opp_count +and opp_init_cpufreq_table + +opp_find_freq_exact is meant to be used to find the opp pointer which can then +be used for opp_enable/disable functions to make an opp available as required. + +WARNING: Users of OPP library should refresh their availability count using +get_opp_count if opp_enable/disable functions are invoked for a device, the +exact mechanism to trigger these or the notification mechanism to other +dependent subsystems such as cpufreq are left to the discretion of the SoC +specific framework which uses the OPP library. Similar care needs to be taken +care to refresh the cpufreq table in cases of these operations. + +WARNING on OPP List locking mechanism: +------------------------------------------------- +OPP library uses RCU for exclusivity. RCU allows the query functions to operate +in multiple contexts and this synchronization mechanism is optimal for a read +intensive operations on data structure as the OPP library caters to. + +To ensure that the data retrieved are sane, the users such as SoC framework +should ensure that the section of code operating on OPP queries are locked +using RCU read locks. The opp_find_freq_{exact,ceil,floor}, +opp_get_{voltage, freq, opp_count} fall into this category. + +opp_{add,enable,disable} are updaters which use mutex and implement it's own +RCU locking mechanisms. opp_init_cpufreq_table acts as an updater and uses +mutex to implment RCU updater strategy. These functions should *NOT* be called +under RCU locks and other contexts that prevent blocking functions in RCU or +mutex operations from working. + +2. Initial OPP List Registration +================================ +The SoC implementation calls opp_add function iteratively to add OPPs per +device. It is expected that the SoC framework will register the OPP entries +optimally- typical numbers range to be less than 5. The list generated by +registering the OPPs is maintained by OPP library throughout the device +operation. The SoC framework can subsequently control the availability of the +OPPs dynamically using the opp_enable / disable functions. + +opp_add - Add a new OPP for a specific domain represented by the device pointer. + The OPP is defined using the frequency and voltage. Once added, the OPP + is assumed to be available and control of it's availability can be done + with the opp_enable/disable functions. OPP library internally stores + and manages this information in the opp struct. This function may be + used by SoC framework to define a optimal list as per the demands of + SoC usage environment. + + WARNING: Do not use this function in interrupt context. + + Example: + soc_pm_init() + { + /* Do things */ + r = opp_add(mpu_dev, 1000000, 900000); + if (!r) { + pr_err("%s: unable to register mpu opp(%d)\n", r); + goto no_cpufreq; + } + /* Do cpufreq things */ + no_cpufreq: + /* Do remaining things */ + } + +3. OPP Search Functions +======================= +High level framework such as cpufreq operates on frequencies. To map the +frequency back to the corresponding OPP, OPP library provides handy functions +to search the OPP list that OPP library internally manages. These search +functions return the matching pointer representing the opp if a match is +found, else returns error. These errors are expected to be handled by standard +error checks such as IS_ERR() and appropriate actions taken by the caller. + +opp_find_freq_exact - Search for an OPP based on an *exact* frequency and + availability. This function is especially useful to enable an OPP which + is not available by default. + Example: In a case when SoC framework detects a situation where a + higher frequency could be made available, it can use this function to + find the OPP prior to call the opp_enable to actually make it available. + rcu_read_lock(); + opp = opp_find_freq_exact(dev, 1000000000, false); + rcu_read_unlock(); + /* dont operate on the pointer.. just do a sanity check.. */ + if (IS_ERR(opp)) { + pr_err("frequency not disabled!\n"); + /* trigger appropriate actions.. */ + } else { + opp_enable(dev,1000000000); + } + + NOTE: This is the only search function that operates on OPPs which are + not available. + +opp_find_freq_floor - Search for an available OPP which is *at most* the + provided frequency. This function is useful while searching for a lesser + match OR operating on OPP information in the order of decreasing + frequency. + Example: To find the highest opp for a device: + freq = ULONG_MAX; + rcu_read_lock(); + opp_find_freq_floor(dev, &freq); + rcu_read_unlock(); + +opp_find_freq_ceil - Search for an available OPP which is *at least* the + provided frequency. This function is useful while searching for a + higher match OR operating on OPP information in the order of increasing + frequency. + Example 1: To find the lowest opp for a device: + freq = 0; + rcu_read_lock(); + opp_find_freq_ceil(dev, &freq); + rcu_read_unlock(); + Example 2: A simplified implementation of a SoC cpufreq_driver->target: + soc_cpufreq_target(..) + { + /* Do stuff like policy checks etc. */ + /* Find the best frequency match for the req */ + rcu_read_lock(); + opp = opp_find_freq_ceil(dev, &freq); + rcu_read_unlock(); + if (!IS_ERR(opp)) + soc_switch_to_freq_voltage(freq); + else + /* do something when we can't satisfy the req */ + /* do other stuff */ + } + +4. OPP Availability Control Functions +===================================== +A default OPP list registered with the OPP library may not cater to all possible +situation. The OPP library provides a set of functions to modify the +availability of a OPP within the OPP list. This allows SoC frameworks to have +fine grained dynamic control of which sets of OPPs are operationally available. +These functions are intended to *temporarily* remove an OPP in conditions such +as thermal considerations (e.g. don't use OPPx until the temperature drops). + +WARNING: Do not use these functions in interrupt context. + +opp_enable - Make a OPP available for operation. + Example: Lets say that 1GHz OPP is to be made available only if the + SoC temperature is lower than a certain threshold. The SoC framework + implementation might choose to do something as follows: + if (cur_temp < temp_low_thresh) { + /* Enable 1GHz if it was disabled */ + rcu_read_lock(); + opp = opp_find_freq_exact(dev, 1000000000, false); + rcu_read_unlock(); + /* just error check */ + if (!IS_ERR(opp)) + ret = opp_enable(dev, 1000000000); + else + goto try_something_else; + } + +opp_disable - Make an OPP to be not available for operation + Example: Lets say that 1GHz OPP is to be disabled if the temperature + exceeds a threshold value. The SoC framework implementation might + choose to do something as follows: + if (cur_temp > temp_high_thresh) { + /* Disable 1GHz if it was enabled */ + rcu_read_lock(); + opp = opp_find_freq_exact(dev, 1000000000, true); + rcu_read_unlock(); + /* just error check */ + if (!IS_ERR(opp)) + ret = opp_disable(dev, 1000000000); + else + goto try_something_else; + } + +5. OPP Data Retrieval Functions +=============================== +Since OPP library abstracts away the OPP information, a set of functions to pull +information from the OPP structure is necessary. Once an OPP pointer is +retrieved using the search functions, the following functions can be used by SoC +framework to retrieve the information represented inside the OPP layer. + +opp_get_voltage - Retrieve the voltage represented by the opp pointer. + Example: At a cpufreq transition to a different frequency, SoC + framework requires to set the voltage represented by the OPP using + the regulator framework to the Power Management chip providing the + voltage. + soc_switch_to_freq_voltage(freq) + { + /* do things */ + rcu_read_lock(); + opp = opp_find_freq_ceil(dev, &freq); + v = opp_get_voltage(opp); + rcu_read_unlock(); + if (v) + regulator_set_voltage(.., v); + /* do other things */ + } + +opp_get_freq - Retrieve the freq represented by the opp pointer. + Example: Lets say the SoC framework uses a couple of helper functions + we could pass opp pointers instead of doing additional parameters to + handle quiet a bit of data parameters. + soc_cpufreq_target(..) + { + /* do things.. */ + max_freq = ULONG_MAX; + rcu_read_lock(); + max_opp = opp_find_freq_floor(dev,&max_freq); + requested_opp = opp_find_freq_ceil(dev,&freq); + if (!IS_ERR(max_opp) && !IS_ERR(requested_opp)) + r = soc_test_validity(max_opp, requested_opp); + rcu_read_unlock(); + /* do other things */ + } + soc_test_validity(..) + { + if(opp_get_voltage(max_opp) < opp_get_voltage(requested_opp)) + return -EINVAL; + if(opp_get_freq(max_opp) < opp_get_freq(requested_opp)) + return -EINVAL; + /* do things.. */ + } + +opp_get_opp_count - Retrieve the number of available opps for a device + Example: Lets say a co-processor in the SoC needs to know the available + frequencies in a table, the main processor can notify as following: + soc_notify_coproc_available_frequencies() + { + /* Do things */ + rcu_read_lock(); + num_available = opp_get_opp_count(dev); + speeds = kzalloc(sizeof(u32) * num_available, GFP_KERNEL); + /* populate the table in increasing order */ + freq = 0; + while (!IS_ERR(opp = opp_find_freq_ceil(dev, &freq))) { + speeds[i] = freq; + freq++; + i++; + } + rcu_read_unlock(); + + soc_notify_coproc(AVAILABLE_FREQs, speeds, num_available); + /* Do other things */ + } + +6. Cpufreq Table Generation +=========================== +opp_init_cpufreq_table - cpufreq framework typically is initialized with + cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo which is provided with the list of + frequencies that are available for operation. This function provides + a ready to use conversion routine to translate the OPP layer's internal + information about the available frequencies into a format readily + providable to cpufreq. + + WARNING: Do not use this function in interrupt context. + + Example: + soc_pm_init() + { + /* Do things */ + r = opp_init_cpufreq_table(dev, &freq_table); + if (!r) + cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo(policy, freq_table); + /* Do other things */ + } + + NOTE: This function is available only if CONFIG_CPU_FREQ is enabled in + addition to CONFIG_PM as power management feature is required to + dynamically scale voltage and frequency in a system. + +opp_free_cpufreq_table - Free up the table allocated by opp_init_cpufreq_table + +7. Data Structures +================== +Typically an SoC contains multiple voltage domains which are variable. Each +domain is represented by a device pointer. The relationship to OPP can be +represented as follows: +SoC + |- device 1 + | |- opp 1 (availability, freq, voltage) + | |- opp 2 .. + ... ... + | `- opp n .. + |- device 2 + ... + `- device m + +OPP library maintains a internal list that the SoC framework populates and +accessed by various functions as described above. However, the structures +representing the actual OPPs and domains are internal to the OPP library itself +to allow for suitable abstraction reusable across systems. + +struct opp - The internal data structure of OPP library which is used to + represent an OPP. In addition to the freq, voltage, availability + information, it also contains internal book keeping information required + for the OPP library to operate on. Pointer to this structure is + provided back to the users such as SoC framework to be used as a + identifier for OPP in the interactions with OPP layer. + + WARNING: The struct opp pointer should not be parsed or modified by the + users. The defaults of for an instance is populated by opp_add, but the + availability of the OPP can be modified by opp_enable/disable functions. + +struct device - This is used to identify a domain to the OPP layer. The + nature of the device and it's implementation is left to the user of + OPP library such as the SoC framework. + +Overall, in a simplistic view, the data structure operations is represented as +following: + +Initialization / modification: + +-----+ /- opp_enable +opp_add --> | opp | <------- + | +-----+ \- opp_disable + \-------> domain_info(device) + +Search functions: + /-- opp_find_freq_ceil ---\ +-----+ +domain_info<---- opp_find_freq_exact -----> | opp | + \-- opp_find_freq_floor ---/ +-----+ + +Retrieval functions: ++-----+ /- opp_get_voltage +| opp | <--- ++-----+ \- opp_get_freq + +domain_info <- opp_get_opp_count diff --git a/Documentation/power/pci.txt b/Documentation/power/pci.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..62328d76 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/power/pci.txt @@ -0,0 +1,1025 @@ +PCI Power Management + +Copyright (c) 2010 Rafael J.

However, when it is necessary to use the device once +again, it has to be put back into the "fully functional" state (full-power +state). This may happen when there are some data for the device to handle or +as a result of an external event requiring the device to be active, which may +be signaled by the device itself. + +PCI devices may be put into low-power states in two ways, by using the device +capabilities introduced by the PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification, +or with the help of platform firmware, such as an ACPI BIOS. In the first +approach, that is referred to as the native PCI power management (native PCI PM) +in what follows, the device power state is changed as a result of writing a +specific value into one of its standard configuration registers. The second +approach requires the platform firmware to provide special methods that may be +used by the kernel to change the device's power state. + +Devices supporting the native PCI PM usually can generate wakeup signals called +Power Management Events (PMEs) to let the kernel know about external events +requiring the device to be active. After receiving a PME the kernel is supposed +to put the device that sent it into the full-power state. However, the PCI Bus +Power Management Interface Specification doesn't define any standard method of +delivering the PME from the device to the CPU and the operating system kernel. +It is assumed that the platform firmware will perform this task and therefore, +even though a PCI device is set up to generate PMEs, it also may be necessary to +prepare the platform firmware for notifying the CPU of the PMEs coming from the +device (e.g. by generating interrupts). + +In turn, if the methods provided by the platform firmware are used for changing +the power state of a device, usually the platform also provides a method for +preparing the device to generate wakeup signals. In that case, however, it +often also is necessary to prepare the device for generating PMEs using the +native PCI PM mechanism, because the method provided by the platform depends on +that. + +Thus in many situations both the native and the platform-based power management +mechanisms have to be used simultaneously to obtain the desired result. + +1.2. Native PCI Power Management +-------------------------------- +The PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification (PCI PM Spec) was +introduced between the PCI 2.1 and PCI 2.2 Specifications. It defined a +standard interface for performing various operations related to power +management. + +The implementation of the PCI PM Spec is optional for conventional PCI devices, +but it is mandatory for PCI Express devices. If a device supports the PCI PM +Spec, it has an 8 byte power management capability field in its PCI +configuration space. This field is used to describe and control the standard +features related to the native PCI power management. + +The PCI PM Spec defines 4 operating states for devices (D0-D3) and for buses +(B0-B3). The higher the number, the less power is drawn by the device or bus +in that state. However, the higher the number, the longer the latency for +the device or bus to return to the full-power state (D0 or B0, respectively). + +There are two variants of the D3 state defined by the specification. The first +one is D3hot, referred to as the software accessible D3, because devices can be +programmed to go into it. The second one, D3cold, is the state that PCI devices +are in when the supply voltage (Vcc) is removed from them. It is not possible +to program a PCI device to go into D3cold, although there may be a programmable +interface for putting the bus the device is on into a state in which Vcc is +removed from all devices on the bus. + +PCI bus power management, however, is not supported by the Linux kernel at the +time of this writing and therefore it is not covered by this document. + +Note that every PCI device can be in the full-power state (D0) or in D3cold, +regardless of whether or not it implements the PCI PM Spec. In addition to +that, if the PCI PM Spec is implemented by the device, it must support D3hot +as well as D0. The support for the D1 and D2 power states is optional. + +PCI devices supporting the PCI PM Spec can be programmed to go to any of the +supported low-power states (except for D3cold). While in D1-D3hot the +standard configuration registers of the device must be accessible to software +(i.e. the device is required to respond to PCI configuration accesses), although +its I/O and memory spaces are then disabled. This allows the device to be +programmatically put into D0. Thus the kernel can switch the device back and +forth between D0 and the supported low-power states (except for D3cold) and the +possible power state transitions the device can undergo are the following: + ++----------------------------+ +| Current State | New State | ++----------------------------+ +| D0 | D1, D2, D3 | ++----------------------------+ +| D1 | D2, D3 | ++----------------------------+ +| D2 | D3 | ++----------------------------+ +| D1, D2, D3 | D0 | ++----------------------------+ + +The transition from D3cold to D0 occurs when the supply voltage is provided to +the device (i.e. power is restored). In that case the device returns to D0 with +a full power-on reset sequence and the power-on defaults are restored to the +device by hardware just as at initial power up. + +PCI devices supporting the PCI PM Spec can be programmed to generate PMEs +while in a low-power state (D1-D3), but they are not required to be capable +of generating PMEs from all supported low-power states. In particular, the +capability of generating PMEs from D3cold is optional and depends on the +presence of additional voltage (3.3Vaux) allowing the device to remain +sufficiently active to generate a wakeup signal. + +1.3. ACPI Device Power Management +--------------------------------- +The platform firmware support for the power management of PCI devices is +system-specific. However, if the system in question is compliant with the +Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) Specification, like the +majority of x86-based systems, it is supposed to implement device power +management interfaces defined by the ACPI standard. + +For this purpose the ACPI BIOS provides special functions called "control +methods" that may be executed by the kernel to perform specific tasks, such as +putting a device into a low-power state. These control methods are encoded +using special byte-code language called the ACPI Machine Language (AML) and +stored in the machine's BIOS. The kernel loads them from the BIOS and executes +them as needed using an AML interpreter that translates the AML byte code into +computations and memory or I/O space accesses. This way, in theory, a BIOS +writer can provide the kernel with a means to perform actions depending +on the system design in a system-specific fashion. + +ACPI control methods may be divided into global control methods, that are not +associated with any particular devices, and device control methods, that have +to be defined separately for each device supposed to be handled with the help of +the platform. This means, in particular, that ACPI device control methods can +only be used to handle devices that the BIOS writer knew about in advance. The +ACPI methods used for device power management fall into that category. + +The ACPI specification assumes that devices can be in one of four power states +labeled as D0, D1, D2, and D3 that roughly correspond to the native PCI PM +D0-D3 states (although the difference between D3hot and D3cold is not taken +into account by ACPI). Moreover, for each power state of a device there is a +set of power resources that have to be enabled for the device to be put into +that state. These power resources are controlled (i.e. enabled or disabled) +with the help of their own control methods, _ON and _OFF, that have to be +defined individually for each of them. + +To put a device into the ACPI power state Dx (where x is a number between 0 and +3 inclusive) the kernel is supposed to (1) enable the power resources required +by the device in this state using their _ON control methods and (2) execute the +_PSx control method defined for the device. In addition to that, if the device +is going to be put into a low-power state (D1-D3) and is supposed to generate +wakeup signals from that state, the _DSW (or _PSW, replaced with _DSW by ACPI +3.0) control method defined for it has to be executed before _PSx. Power +resources that are not required by the device in the target power state and are +not required any more by any other device should be disabled (by executing their +_OFF control methods). If the current power state of the device is D3, it can +only be put into D0 this way. + +However, quite often the power states of devices are changed during a +system-wide transition into a sleep state or back into the working state. ACPI +defines four system sleep states, S1, S2, S3, and S4, and denotes the system +working state as S0. In general, the target system sleep (or working) state +determines the highest power (lowest number) state the device can be put +into and the kernel is supposed to obtain this information by executing the +device's _SxD control method (where x is a number between 0 and 4 inclusive). +If the device is required to wake up the system from the target sleep state, the +lowest power (highest number) state it can be put into is also determined by the +target state of the system. The kernel is then supposed to use the device's +_SxW control method to obtain the number of that state. It also is supposed to +use the device's _PRW control method to learn which power resources need to be +enabled for the device to be able to generate wakeup signals. + +1.4. Wakeup Signaling +--------------------- +Wakeup signals generated by PCI devices, either as native PCI PMEs, or as +a result of the execution of the _DSW (or _PSW) ACPI control method before +putting the device into a low-power state, have to be caught and handled as +appropriate. If they are sent while the system is in the working state +(ACPI S0), they should be translated into interrupts so that the kernel can +put the devices generating them into the full-power state and take care of the +events that triggered them. In turn, if they are sent while the system is +sleeping, they should cause the system's core logic to trigger wakeup. + +On ACPI-based systems wakeup signals sent by conventional PCI devices are +converted into ACPI General-Purpose Events (GPEs) which are hardware signals +from the system core logic generated in response to various events that need to +be acted upon. Every GPE is associated with one or more sources of potentially +interesting events. In particular, a GPE may be associated with a PCI device +capable of signaling wakeup. The information on the connections between GPEs +and event sources is recorded in the system's ACPI BIOS from where it can be +read by the kernel. + +If a PCI device known to the system's ACPI BIOS signals wakeup, the GPE +associated with it (if there is one) is triggered. The GPEs associated with PCI +bridges may also be triggered in response to a wakeup signal from one of the +devices below the bridge (this also is the case for root bridges) and, for +example, native PCI PMEs from devices unknown to the system's ACPI BIOS may be +handled this way. + +A GPE may be triggered when the system is sleeping (i.e. when it is in one of +the ACPI S1-S4 states), in which case system wakeup is started by its core logic +(the device that was the source of the signal causing the system wakeup to occur +may be identified later). The GPEs used in such situations are referred to as +wakeup GPEs. + +Usually, however, GPEs are also triggered when the system is in the working +state (ACPI S0) and in that case the system's core logic generates a System +Control Interrupt (SCI) to notify the kernel of the event. Then, the SCI +handler identifies the GPE that caused the interrupt to be generated which, +in turn, allows the kernel to identify the source of the event (that may be +a PCI device signaling wakeup). The GPEs used for notifying the kernel of +events occurring while the system is in the working state are referred to as +runtime GPEs. + +Unfortunately, there is no standard way of handling wakeup signals sent by +conventional PCI devices on systems that are not ACPI-based, but there is one +for PCI Express devices. Namely, the PCI Express Base Specification introduced +a native mechanism for converting native PCI PMEs into interrupts generated by +root ports. For conventional PCI devices native PMEs are out-of-band, so they +are routed separately and they need not pass through bridges (in principle they +may be routed directly to the system's core logic), but for PCI Express devices +they are in-band messages that have to pass through the PCI Express hierarchy, +including the root port on the path from the device to the Root Complex. Thus +it was possible to introduce a mechanism by which a root port generates an +interrupt whenever it receives a PME message from one of the devices below it. +The PCI Express Requester ID of the device that sent the PME message is then +recorded in one of the root port's configuration registers from where it may be +read by the interrupt handler allowing the device to be identified. [PME +messages sent by PCI Express endpoints integrated with the Root Complex don't +pass through root ports, but instead they cause a Root Complex Event Collector +(if there is one) to generate interrupts.] + +In principle the native PCI Express PME signaling may also be used on ACPI-based +systems along with the GPEs, but to use it the kernel has to ask the system's +ACPI BIOS to release control of root port configuration registers. The ACPI +BIOS, however, is not required to allow the kernel to control these registers +and if it doesn't do that, the kernel must not modify their contents. Of course +the native PCI Express PME signaling cannot be used by the kernel in that case. + + +2. PCI Subsystem and Device Power Management +============================================ + +2.1. Device Power Management Callbacks +-------------------------------------- +The PCI Subsystem participates in the power management of PCI devices in a +number of ways. First of all, it provides an intermediate code layer between +the device power management core (PM core) and PCI device drivers. +Specifically, the pm field of the PCI subsystem's struct bus_type object, +pci_bus_type, points to a struct dev_pm_ops object, pci_dev_pm_ops, containing +pointers to several device power management callbacks: + +const struct dev_pm_ops pci_dev_pm_ops = { + .prepare = pci_pm_prepare, + .complete = pci_pm_complete, + .suspend = pci_pm_suspend, + .resume = pci_pm_resume, + .freeze = pci_pm_freeze, + .thaw = pci_pm_thaw, + .poweroff = pci_pm_poweroff, + .restore = pci_pm_restore, + .suspend_noirq = pci_pm_suspend_noirq, + .resume_noirq = pci_pm_resume_noirq, + .freeze_noirq = pci_pm_freeze_noirq, + .thaw_noirq = pci_pm_thaw_noirq, + .poweroff_noirq = pci_pm_poweroff_noirq, + .restore_noirq = pci_pm_restore_noirq, + .runtime_suspend = pci_pm_runtime_suspend, + .runtime_resume = pci_pm_runtime_resume, + .runtime_idle = pci_pm_runtime_idle, +}; + +These callbacks are executed by the PM core in various situations related to +device power management and they, in turn, execute power management callbacks +provided by PCI device drivers. They also perform power management operations +involving some standard configuration registers of PCI devices that device +drivers need not know or care about. + +The structure representing a PCI device, struct pci_dev, contains several fields +that these callbacks operate on: + +struct pci_dev { + ... + pci_power_t current_state; /* Current operating state. */ + int pm_cap; /* PM capability offset in the + configuration space */ + unsigned int pme_support:5; /* Bitmask of states from which PME# + can be generated */ + unsigned int pme_interrupt:1;/* Is native PCIe PME signaling used? */ + unsigned int d1_support:1; /* Low power state D1 is supported */ + unsigned int d2_support:1; /* Low power state D2 is supported */ + unsigned int no_d1d2:1; /* D1 and D2 are forbidden */ + unsigned int wakeup_prepared:1; /* Device prepared for wake up */ + unsigned int d3_delay; /* D3->D0 transition time in ms */ + ... +}; + +They also indirectly use some fields of the struct device that is embedded in +struct pci_dev. + +2.2. Device Initialization +-------------------------- +The PCI subsystem's first task related to device power management is to +prepare the device for power management and initialize the fields of struct +pci_dev used for this purpose. This happens in two functions defined in +drivers/pci/pci.c, pci_pm_init() and platform_pci_wakeup_init(). + +The first of these functions checks if the device supports native PCI PM +and if that's the case the offset of its power management capability structure +in the configuration space is stored in the pm_cap field of the device's struct +pci_dev object. Next, the function checks which PCI low-power states are +supported by the device and from which low-power states the device can generate +native PCI PMEs. The power management fields of the device's struct pci_dev and +the struct device embedded in it are updated accordingly and the generation of +PMEs by the device is disabled. + +The second function checks if the device can be prepared to signal wakeup with +the help of the platform firmware, such as the ACPI BIOS. If that is the case, +the function updates the wakeup fields in struct device embedded in the +device's struct pci_dev and uses the firmware-provided method to prevent the +device from signaling wakeup. + +At this point the device is ready for power management. For driverless devices, +however, this functionality is limited to a few basic operations carried out +during system-wide transitions to a sleep state and back to the working state. + +2.3. Runtime Device Power Management +------------------------------------ +The PCI subsystem plays a vital role in the runtime power management of PCI +devices. For this purpose it uses the general runtime power management +(runtime PM) framework described in Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt. +Namely, it provides subsystem-level callbacks: + + pci_pm_runtime_suspend() + pci_pm_runtime_resume() + pci_pm_runtime_idle() + +that are executed by the core runtime PM routines. It also implements the +entire mechanics necessary for handling runtime wakeup signals from PCI devices +in low-power states, which at the time of this writing works for both the native +PCI Express PME signaling and the ACPI GPE-based wakeup signaling described in +Section 1. + +First, a PCI device is put into a low-power state, or suspended, with the help +of pm_schedule_suspend() or pm_runtime_suspend() which for PCI devices call +pci_pm_runtime_suspend() to do the actual job. For this to work, the device's +driver has to provide a pm->runtime_suspend() callback (see below), which is +run by pci_pm_runtime_suspend() as the first action. If the driver's callback +returns successfully, the device's standard configuration registers are saved, +the device is prepared to generate wakeup signals and, finally, it is put into +the target low-power state. + +The low-power state to put the device into is the lowest-power (highest number) +state from which it can signal wakeup. The exact method of signaling wakeup is +system-dependent and is determined by the PCI subsystem on the basis of the +reported capabilities of the device and the platform firmware. To prepare the +device for signaling wakeup and put it into the selected low-power state, the +PCI subsystem can use the platform firmware as well as the device's native PCI +PM capabilities, if supported. + +It is expected that the device driver's pm->runtime_suspend() callback will +not attempt to prepare the device for signaling wakeup or to put it into a +low-power state. The driver ought to leave these tasks to the PCI subsystem +that has all of the information necessary to perform them. + +A suspended device is brought back into the "active" state, or resumed, +with the help of pm_request_resume() or pm_runtime_resume() which both call +pci_pm_runtime_resume() for PCI devices. Again, this only works if the device's +driver provides a pm->runtime_resume() callback (see below). However, before +the driver's callback is executed, pci_pm_runtime_resume() brings the device +back into the full-power state, prevents it from signaling wakeup while in that +state and restores its standard configuration registers. Thus the driver's +callback need not worry about the PCI-specific aspects of the device resume. + +Note that generally pci_pm_runtime_resume() may be called in two different +situations. First, it may be called at the request of the device's driver, for +example if there are some data for it to process. Second, it may be called +as a result of a wakeup signal from the device itself (this sometimes is +referred to as "remote wakeup"). Of course, for this purpose the wakeup signal +is handled in one of the ways described in Section 1 and finally converted into +a notification for the PCI subsystem after the source device has been +identified. + +The pci_pm_runtime_idle() function, called for PCI devices by pm_runtime_idle() +and pm_request_idle(), executes the device driver's pm->runtime_idle() +callback, if defined, and if that callback doesn't return error code (or is not +present at all), suspends the device with the help of pm_runtime_suspend(). +Sometimes pci_pm_runtime_idle() is called automatically by the PM core (for +example, it is called right after the device has just been resumed), in which +cases it is expected to suspend the device if that makes sense. Usually, +however, the PCI subsystem doesn't really know if the device really can be +suspended, so it lets the device's driver decide by running its +pm->runtime_idle() callback. + +2.4. System-Wide Power Transitions +---------------------------------- +There are a few different types of system-wide power transitions, described in +Documentation/power/devices.txt. Each of them requires devices to be handled +in a specific way and the PM core executes subsystem-level power management +callbacks for this purpose. They are executed in phases such that each phase +involves executing the same subsystem-level callback for every device belonging +to the given subsystem before the next phase begins. These phases always run +after tasks have been frozen. + +2.4.1. System Suspend + +When the system is going into a sleep state in which the contents of memory will +be preserved, such as one of the ACPI sleep states S1-S3, the phases are: + + prepare, suspend, suspend_noirq. + +The following PCI bus type's callbacks, respectively, are used in these phases: + + pci_pm_prepare() + pci_pm_suspend() + pci_pm_suspend_noirq() + +The pci_pm_prepare() routine first puts the device into the "fully functional" +state with the help of pm_runtime_resume(). Then, it executes the device +driver's pm->prepare() callback if defined (i.e. if the driver's struct +dev_pm_ops object is present and the prepare pointer in that object is valid). + +The pci_pm_suspend() routine first checks if the device's driver implements +legacy PCI suspend routines (see Section 3), in which case the driver's legacy +suspend callback is executed, if present, and its result is returned. Next, if +the device's driver doesn't provide a struct dev_pm_ops object (containing +pointers to the driver's callbacks), pci_pm_default_suspend() is called, which +simply turns off the device's bus master capability and runs +pcibios_disable_device() to disable it, unless the device is a bridge (PCI +bridges are ignored by this routine). Next, the device driver's pm->suspend() +callback is executed, if defined, and its result is returned if it fails. +Finally, pci_fixup_device() is called to apply hardware suspend quirks related +to the device if necessary. + +Note that the suspend phase is carried out asynchronously for PCI devices, so +the pci_pm_suspend() callback may be executed in parallel for any pair of PCI +devices that don't depend on each other in a known way (i.e. none of the paths +in the device tree from the root bridge to a leaf device contains both of them). + +The pci_pm_suspend_noirq() routine is executed after suspend_device_irqs() has +been called, which means that the device driver's interrupt handler won't be +invoked while this routine is running. It first checks if the device's driver +implements legacy PCI suspends routines (Section 3), in which case the legacy +late suspend routine is called and its result is returned (the standard +configuration registers of the device are saved if the driver's callback hasn't +done that). Second, if the device driver's struct dev_pm_ops object is not +present, the device's standard configuration registers are saved and the routine +returns success. Otherwise the device driver's pm->suspend_noirq() callback is +executed, if present, and its result is returned if it fails. Next, if the +device's standard configuration registers haven't been saved yet (one of the +device driver's callbacks executed before might do that), pci_pm_suspend_noirq() +saves them, prepares the device to signal wakeup (if necessary) and puts it into +a low-power state. + +The low-power state to put the device into is the lowest-power (highest number) +state from which it can signal wakeup while the system is in the target sleep +state. Just like in the runtime PM case described above, the mechanism of +signaling wakeup is system-dependent and determined by the PCI subsystem, which +is also responsible for preparing the device to signal wakeup from the system's +target sleep state as appropriate. + +PCI device drivers (that don't implement legacy power management callbacks) are +generally not expected to prepare devices for signaling wakeup or to put them +into low-power states. However, if one of the driver's suspend callbacks +(pm->suspend() or pm->suspend_noirq()) saves the device's standard configuration +registers, pci_pm_suspend_noirq() will assume that the device has been prepared +to signal wakeup and put into a low-power state by the driver (the driver is +then assumed to have used the helper functions provided by the PCI subsystem for +this purpose). PCI device drivers are not encouraged to do that, but in some +rare cases doing that in the driver may be the optimum approach. + +2.4.2. System Resume + +When the system is undergoing a transition from a sleep state in which the +contents of memory have been preserved, such as one of the ACPI sleep states +S1-S3, into the working state (ACPI S0), the phases are: + + resume_noirq, resume, complete. + +The following PCI bus type's callbacks, respectively, are executed in these +phases: + + pci_pm_resume_noirq() + pci_pm_resume() + pci_pm_complete() + +The pci_pm_resume_noirq() routine first puts the device into the full-power +state, restores its standard configuration registers and applies early resume +hardware quirks related to the device, if necessary. This is done +unconditionally, regardless of whether or not the device's driver implements +legacy PCI power management callbacks (this way all PCI devices are in the +full-power state and their standard configuration registers have been restored +when their interrupt handlers are invoked for the first time during resume, +which allows the kernel to avoid problems with the handling of shared interrupts +by drivers whose devices are still suspended). If legacy PCI power management +callbacks (see Section 3) are implemented by the device's driver, the legacy +early resume callback is executed and its result is returned. Otherwise, the +device driver's pm->resume_noirq() callback is executed, if defined, and its +result is returned. + +The pci_pm_resume() routine first checks if the device's standard configuration +registers have been restored and restores them if that's not the case (this +only is necessary in the error path during a failing suspend). Next, resume +hardware quirks related to the device are applied, if necessary, and if the +device's driver implements legacy PCI power management callbacks (see +Section 3), the driver's legacy resume callback is executed and its result is +returned. Otherwise, the device's wakeup signaling mechanisms are blocked and +its driver's pm->resume() callback is executed, if defined (the callback's +result is then returned). + +The resume phase is carried out asynchronously for PCI devices, like the +suspend phase described above, which means that if two PCI devices don't depend +on each other in a known way, the pci_pm_resume() routine may be executed for +the both of them in parallel. + +The pci_pm_complete() routine only executes the device driver's pm->complete() +callback, if defined. + +2.4.3. System Hibernation + +System hibernation is more complicated than system suspend, because it requires +a system image to be created and written into a persistent storage medium. The +image is created atomically and all devices are quiesced, or frozen, before that +happens. + +The freezing of devices is carried out after enough memory has been freed (at +the time of this writing the image creation requires at least 50% of system RAM +to be free) in the following three phases: + + prepare, freeze, freeze_noirq + +that correspond to the PCI bus type's callbacks: + + pci_pm_prepare() + pci_pm_freeze() + pci_pm_freeze_noirq() + +This means that the prepare phase is exactly the same as for system suspend. +The other two phases, however, are different. + +The pci_pm_freeze() routine is quite similar to pci_pm_suspend(), but it runs +the device driver's pm->freeze() callback, if defined, instead of pm->suspend(), +and it doesn't apply the suspend-related hardware quirks. It is executed +asynchronously for different PCI devices that don't depend on each other in a +known way. + +The pci_pm_freeze_noirq() routine, in turn, is similar to +pci_pm_suspend_noirq(), but it calls the device driver's pm->freeze_noirq() +routine instead of pm->suspend_noirq(). It also doesn't attempt to prepare the +device for signaling wakeup and put it into a low-power state. Still, it saves +the device's standard configuration registers if they haven't been saved by one +of the driver's callbacks. + +Once the image has been created, it has to be saved. However, at this point all +devices are frozen and they cannot handle I/O, while their ability to handle +I/O is obviously necessary for the image saving. Thus they have to be brought +back to the fully functional state and this is done in the following phases: + + thaw_noirq, thaw, complete + +using the following PCI bus type's callbacks: + + pci_pm_thaw_noirq() + pci_pm_thaw() + pci_pm_complete() + +respectively. + +The first of them, pci_pm_thaw_noirq(), is analogous to pci_pm_resume_noirq(), +but it doesn't put the device into the full power state and doesn't attempt to +restore its standard configuration registers. It also executes the device +driver's pm->thaw_noirq() callback, if defined, instead of pm->resume_noirq(). + +The pci_pm_thaw() routine is similar to pci_pm_resume(), but it runs the device +driver's pm->thaw() callback instead of pm->resume(). It is executed +asynchronously for different PCI devices that don't depend on each other in a +known way. + +The complete phase it the same as for system resume. + +After saving the image, devices need to be powered down before the system can +enter the target sleep state (ACPI S4 for ACPI-based systems). This is done in +three phases: + + prepare, poweroff, poweroff_noirq + +where the prepare phase is exactly the same as for system suspend. The other +two phases are analogous to the suspend and suspend_noirq phases, respectively. +The PCI subsystem-level callbacks they correspond to + + pci_pm_poweroff() + pci_pm_poweroff_noirq() + +work in analogy with pci_pm_suspend() and pci_pm_poweroff_noirq(), respectively, +although they don't attempt to save the device's standard configuration +registers. + +2.4.4. System Restore + +System restore requires a hibernation image to be loaded into memory and the +pre-hibernation memory contents to be restored before the pre-hibernation system +activity can be resumed. + +As described in Documentation/power/devices.txt, the hibernation image is loaded +into memory by a fresh instance of the kernel, called the boot kernel, which in +turn is loaded and run by a boot loader in the usual way. After the boot kernel +has loaded the image, it needs to replace its own code and data with the code +and data of the "hibernated" kernel stored within the image, called the image +kernel. For this purpose all devices are frozen just like before creating +the image during hibernation, in the + + prepare, freeze, freeze_noirq + +phases described above. However, the devices affected by these phases are only +those having drivers in the boot kernel; other devices will still be in whatever +state the boot loader left them. + +Should the restoration of the pre-hibernation memory contents fail, the boot +kernel would go through the "thawing" procedure described above, using the +thaw_noirq, thaw, and complete phases (that will only affect the devices having +drivers in the boot kernel), and then continue running normally. + +If the pre-hibernation memory contents are restored successfully, which is the +usual situation, control is passed to the image kernel, which then becomes +responsible for bringing the system back to the working state. To achieve this, +it must restore the devices' pre-hibernation functionality, which is done much +like waking up from the memory sleep state, although it involves different +phases: + + restore_noirq, restore, complete + +The first two of these are analogous to the resume_noirq and resume phases +described above, respectively, and correspond to the following PCI subsystem +callbacks: + + pci_pm_restore_noirq() + pci_pm_restore() + +These callbacks work in analogy with pci_pm_resume_noirq() and pci_pm_resume(), +respectively, but they execute the device driver's pm->restore_noirq() and +pm->restore() callbacks, if available. + +The complete phase is carried out in exactly the same way as during system +resume. + + +3. PCI Device Drivers and Power Management +========================================== + +3.1. Power Management Callbacks +------------------------------- +PCI device drivers participate in power management by providing callbacks to be +executed by the PCI subsystem's power management routines described above and by +controlling the runtime power management of their devices. + +At the time of this writing there are two ways to define power management +callbacks for a PCI device driver, the recommended one, based on using a +dev_pm_ops structure described in Documentation/power/devices.txt, and the +"legacy" one, in which the .suspend(), .suspend_late(), .resume_early(), and +.resume() callbacks from struct pci_driver are used. The legacy approach, +however, doesn't allow one to define runtime power management callbacks and is +not really suitable for any new drivers. Therefore it is not covered by this +document (refer to the source code to learn more about it). + +It is recommended that all PCI device drivers define a struct dev_pm_ops object +containing pointers to power management (PM) callbacks that will be executed by +the PCI subsystem's PM routines in various circumstances. A pointer to the +driver's struct dev_pm_ops object has to be assigned to the driver.pm field in +its struct pci_driver object. Once that has happened, the "legacy" PM callbacks +in struct pci_driver are ignored (even if they are not NULL). + +The PM callbacks in struct dev_pm_ops are not mandatory and if they are not +defined (i.e. the respective fields of struct dev_pm_ops are unset) the PCI +subsystem will handle the device in a simplified default manner. If they are +defined, though, they are expected to behave as described in the following +subsections. + +3.1.1. prepare() + +The prepare() callback is executed during system suspend, during hibernation +(when a hibernation image is about to be created), during power-off after +saving a hibernation image and during system restore, when a hibernation image +has just been loaded into memory. + +This callback is only necessary if the driver's device has children that in +general may be registered at any time. In that case the role of the prepare() +callback is to prevent new children of the device from being registered until +one of the resume_noirq(), thaw_noirq(), or restore_noirq() callbacks is run. + +In addition to that the prepare() callback may carry out some operations +preparing the device to be suspended, although it should not allocate memory +(if additional memory is required to suspend the device, it has to be +preallocated earlier, for example in a suspend/hibernate notifier as described +in Documentation/power/notifiers.txt). + +3.1.2. suspend() + +The suspend() callback is only executed during system suspend, after prepare() +callbacks have been executed for all devices in the system. + +This callback is expected to quiesce the device and prepare it to be put into a +low-power state by the PCI subsystem. It is not required (in fact it even is +not recommended) that a PCI driver's suspend() callback save the standard +configuration registers of the device, prepare it for waking up the system, or +put it into a low-power state. All of these operations can very well be taken +care of by the PCI subsystem, without the driver's participation. + +However, in some rare case it is convenient to carry out these operations in +a PCI driver. Then, pci_save_state(), pci_prepare_to_sleep(), and +pci_set_power_state() should be used to save the device's standard configuration +registers, to prepare it for system wakeup (if necessary), and to put it into a +low-power state, respectively. Moreover, if the driver calls pci_save_state(), +the PCI subsystem will not execute either pci_prepare_to_sleep(), or +pci_set_power_state() for its device, so the driver is then responsible for +handling the device as appropriate. + +While the suspend() callback is being executed, the driver's interrupt handler +can be invoked to handle an interrupt from the device, so all suspend-related +operations relying on the driver's ability to handle interrupts should be +carried out in this callback. + +3.1.3. suspend_noirq() + +The suspend_noirq() callback is only executed during system suspend, after +suspend() callbacks have been executed for all devices in the system and +after device interrupts have been disabled by the PM core. + +The difference between suspend_noirq() and suspend() is that the driver's +interrupt handler will not be invoked while suspend_noirq() is running. Thus +suspend_noirq() can carry out operations that would cause race conditions to +arise if they were performed in suspend(). + +3.1.4. freeze() + +The freeze() callback is hibernation-specific and is executed in two situations, +during hibernation, after prepare() callbacks have been executed for all devices +in preparation for the creation of a system image, and during restore, +after a system image has been loaded into memory from persistent storage and the +prepare() callbacks have been executed for all devices. + +The role of this callback is analogous to the role of the suspend() callback +described above. In fact, they only need to be different in the rare cases when +the driver takes the responsibility for putting the device into a low-power +state. + +In that cases the freeze() callback should not prepare the device system wakeup +or put it into a low-power state. Still, either it or freeze_noirq() should +save the device's standard configuration registers using pci_save_state(). + +3.1.5. freeze_noirq() + +The freeze_noirq() callback is hibernation-specific. It is executed during +hibernation, after prepare() and freeze() callbacks have been executed for all +devices in preparation for the creation of a system image, and during restore, +after a system image has been loaded into memory and after prepare() and +freeze() callbacks have been executed for all devices. It is always executed +after device interrupts have been disabled by the PM core. + +The role of this callback is analogous to the role of the suspend_noirq() +callback described above and it very rarely is necessary to define +freeze_noirq(). + +The difference between freeze_noirq() and freeze() is analogous to the +difference between suspend_noirq() and suspend(). + +3.1.6. poweroff() + +The poweroff() callback is hibernation-specific. It is executed when the system +is about to be powered off after saving a hibernation image to a persistent +storage. prepare() callbacks are executed for all devices before poweroff() is +called. + +The role of this callback is analogous to the role of the suspend() and freeze() +callbacks described above, although it does not need to save the contents of +the device's registers. In particular, if the driver wants to put the device +into a low-power state itself instead of allowing the PCI subsystem to do that, +the poweroff() callback should use pci_prepare_to_sleep() and +pci_set_power_state() to prepare the device for system wakeup and to put it +into a low-power state, respectively, but it need not save the device's standard +configuration registers. + +3.1.7. poweroff_noirq() + +The poweroff_noirq() callback is hibernation-specific. It is executed after +poweroff() callbacks have been executed for all devices in the system. + +The role of this callback is analogous to the role of the suspend_noirq() and +freeze_noirq() callbacks described above, but it does not need to save the +contents of the device's registers. + +The difference between poweroff_noirq() and poweroff() is analogous to the +difference between suspend_noirq() and suspend(). + +3.1.8. resume_noirq() + +The resume_noirq() callback is only executed during system resume, after the +PM core has enabled the non-boot CPUs. The driver's interrupt handler will not +be invoked while resume_noirq() is running, so this callback can carry out +operations that might race with the interrupt handler. + +Since the PCI subsystem unconditionally puts all devices into the full power +state in the resume_noirq phase of system resume and restores their standard +configuration registers, resume_noirq() is usually not necessary. In general +it should only be used for performing operations that would lead to race +conditions if carried out by resume(). + +3.1.9. resume() + +The resume() callback is only executed during system resume, after +resume_noirq() callbacks have been executed for all devices in the system and +device interrupts have been enabled by the PM core. + +This callback is responsible for restoring the pre-suspend configuration of the +device and bringing it back to the fully functional state. The device should be +able to process I/O in a usual way after resume() has returned. + +3.1.10. thaw_noirq() + +The thaw_noirq() callback is hibernation-specific. It is executed after a +system image has been created and the non-boot CPUs have been enabled by the PM +core, in the thaw_noirq phase of hibernation. It also may be executed if the +loading of a hibernation image fails during system restore (it is then executed +after enabling the non-boot CPUs). The driver's interrupt handler will not be +invoked while thaw_noirq() is running. + +The role of this callback is analogous to the role of resume_noirq(). The +difference between these two callbacks is that thaw_noirq() is executed after +freeze() and freeze_noirq(), so in general it does not need to modify the +contents of the device's registers. + +3.1.11. thaw() + +The thaw() callback is hibernation-specific. It is executed after thaw_noirq() +callbacks have been executed for all devices in the system and after device +interrupts have been enabled by the PM core. + +This callback is responsible for restoring the pre-freeze configuration of +the device, so that it will work in a usual way after thaw() has returned. + +3.1.12. restore_noirq() + +The restore_noirq() callback is hibernation-specific. It is executed in the +restore_noirq phase of hibernation, when the boot kernel has passed control to +the image kernel and the non-boot CPUs have been enabled by the image kernel's +PM core. + +This callback is analogous to resume_noirq() with the exception that it cannot +make any assumption on the previous state of the device, even if the BIOS (or +generally the platform firmware) is known to preserve that state over a +suspend-resume cycle. + +For the vast majority of PCI device drivers there is no difference between +resume_noirq() and restore_noirq(). + +3.1.13. restore() + +The restore() callback is hibernation-specific. It is executed after +restore_noirq() callbacks have been executed for all devices in the system and +after the PM core has enabled device drivers' interrupt handlers to be invoked. + +This callback is analogous to resume(), just like restore_noirq() is analogous +to resume_noirq(). Consequently, the difference between restore_noirq() and +restore() is analogous to the difference between resume_noirq() and resume(). + +For the vast majority of PCI device drivers there is no difference between +resume() and restore(). + +3.1.14. complete() + +The complete() callback is executed in the following situations: + - during system resume, after resume() callbacks have been executed for all + devices, + - during hibernation, before saving the system image, after thaw() callbacks + have been executed for all devices, + - during system restore, when the system is going back to its pre-hibernation + state, after restore() callbacks have been executed for all devices. +It also may be executed if the loading of a hibernation image into memory fails +(in that case it is run after thaw() callbacks have been executed for all +devices that have drivers in the boot kernel). + +This callback is entirely optional, although it may be necessary if the +prepare() callback performs operations that need to be reversed. + +3.1.15. runtime_suspend() + +The runtime_suspend() callback is specific to device runtime power management +(runtime PM). It is executed by the PM core's runtime PM framework when the +device is about to be suspended (i.e. quiesced and put into a low-power state) +at run time. + +This callback is responsible for freezing the device and preparing it to be +put into a low-power state, but it must allow the PCI subsystem to perform all +of the PCI-specific actions necessary for suspending the device. + +3.1.16. runtime_resume() + +The runtime_resume() callback is specific to device runtime PM. It is executed +by the PM core's runtime PM framework when the device is about to be resumed +(i.e. put into the full-power state and programmed to process I/O normally) at +run time. + +This callback is responsible for restoring the normal functionality of the +device after it has been put into the full-power state by the PCI subsystem. +The device is expected to be able to process I/O in the usual way after +runtime_resume() has returned. + +3.1.17. runtime_idle() + +The runtime_idle() callback is specific to device runtime PM. It is executed +by the PM core's runtime PM framework whenever it may be desirable to suspend +the device according to the PM core's information. In particular, it is +automatically executed right after runtime_resume() has returned in case the +resume of the device has happened as a result of a spurious event. + +This callback is optional, but if it is not implemented or if it returns 0, the +PCI subsystem will call pm_runtime_suspend() for the device, which in turn will +cause the driver's runtime_suspend() callback to be executed. + +3.1.18. Pointing Multiple Callback Pointers to One Routine + +Although in principle each of the callbacks described in the previous +subsections can be defined as a separate function, it often is convenient to +point two or more members of struct dev_pm_ops to the same routine. There are +a few convenience macros that can be used for this purpose. + +The SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS macro declares a struct dev_pm_ops object with one +suspend routine pointed to by the .suspend(), .freeze(), and .poweroff() +members and one resume routine pointed to by the .resume(), .thaw(), and +.restore() members. The other function pointers in this struct dev_pm_ops are +unset. + +The UNIVERSAL_DEV_PM_OPS macro is similar to SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS, but it +additionally sets the .runtime_resume() pointer to the same value as +.resume() (and .thaw(), and .restore()) and the .runtime_suspend() pointer to +the same value as .suspend() (and .freeze() and .poweroff()). + +The SET_SYSTEM_SLEEP_PM_OPS can be used inside of a declaration of struct +dev_pm_ops to indicate that one suspend routine is to be pointed to by the +.suspend(), .freeze(), and .poweroff() members and one resume routine is to +be pointed to by the .resume(), .thaw(), and .restore() members. + +3.2. Device Runtime Power Management +------------------------------------ +In addition to providing device power management callbacks PCI device drivers +are responsible for controlling the runtime power management (runtime PM) of +their devices. + +The PCI device runtime PM is optional, but it is recommended that PCI device +drivers implement it at least in the cases where there is a reliable way of +verifying that the device is not used (like when the network cable is detached +from an Ethernet adapter or there are no devices attached to a USB controller). + +To support the PCI runtime PM the driver first needs to implement the +runtime_suspend() and runtime_resume() callbacks. It also may need to implement +the runtime_idle() callback to prevent the device from being suspended again +every time right after the runtime_resume() callback has returned +(alternatively, the runtime_suspend() callback will have to check if the +device should really be suspended and return -EAGAIN if that is not the case). + +The runtime PM of PCI devices is disabled by default. It is also blocked by +pci_pm_init() that runs the pm_runtime_forbid() helper function. If a PCI +driver implements the runtime PM callbacks and intends to use the runtime PM +framework provided by the PM core and the PCI subsystem, it should enable this +feature by executing the pm_runtime_enable() helper function. However, the +driver should not call the pm_runtime_allow() helper function unblocking +the runtime PM of the device. Instead, it should allow user space or some +platform-specific code to do that (user space can do it via sysfs), although +once it has called pm_runtime_enable(), it must be prepared to handle the +runtime PM of the device correctly as soon as pm_runtime_allow() is called +(which may happen at any time). [It also is possible that user space causes +pm_runtime_allow() to be called via sysfs before the driver is loaded, so in +fact the driver has to be prepared to handle the runtime PM of the device as +soon as it calls pm_runtime_enable().] + +The runtime PM framework works by processing requests to suspend or resume +devices, or to check if they are idle (in which cases it is reasonable to +subsequently request that they be suspended). These requests are represented +by work items put into the power management workqueue, pm_wq. Although there +are a few situations in which power management requests are automatically +queued by the PM core (for example, after processing a request to resume a +device the PM core automatically queues a request to check if the device is +idle), device drivers are generally responsible for queuing power management +requests for their devices. For this purpose they should use the runtime PM +helper functions provided by the PM core, discussed in +Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt. + +Devices can also be suspended and resumed synchronously, without placing a +request into pm_wq. In the majority of cases this also is done by their +drivers that use helper functions provided by the PM core for this purpose. + +For more information on the runtime PM of devices refer to +Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt. + + +4.

Consumer Regulator Access (static & dynamic drivers) +======================================================= + +A consumer driver can get access to its supply regulator by calling :- + +regulator = regulator_get(dev, "Vcc"); + +The consumer passes in its struct device pointer and power supply ID. The core +then finds the correct regulator by consulting a machine specific lookup table. +If the lookup is successful then this call will return a pointer to the struct +regulator that supplies this consumer. + +To release the regulator the consumer driver should call :- + +regulator_put(regulator); + +Consumers can be supplied by more than one regulator e.g. codec consumer with +analog and digital supplies :- + +digital = regulator_get(dev, "Vcc"); /* digital core */ +analog = regulator_get(dev, "Avdd"); /* analog */ + +The regulator access functions regulator_get() and regulator_put() will +usually be called in your device drivers probe() and remove() respectively. + + +2. Regulator Output Enable & Disable (static & dynamic drivers) +==================================================================== + +A consumer can enable its power supply by calling:- + +int regulator_enable(regulator); + +NOTE: The supply may already be enabled before regulator_enabled() is called. +This may happen if the consumer shares the regulator or the regulator has been +previously enabled by bootloader or kernel board initialization code. + +A consumer can determine if a regulator is enabled by calling :- + +int regulator_is_enabled(regulator); + +This will return > zero when the regulator is enabled. + + +A consumer can disable its supply when no longer needed by calling :- + +int regulator_disable(regulator); + +NOTE: This may not disable the supply if it's shared with other consumers. The +regulator will only be disabled when the enabled reference count is zero. + +Finally, a regulator can be forcefully disabled in the case of an emergency :- + +int regulator_force_disable(regulator); + +NOTE: this will immediately and forcefully shutdown the regulator output. All +consumers will be powered off. + + +3. Regulator Voltage Control & Status (dynamic drivers) +====================================================== + +Some consumer drivers need to be able to dynamically change their supply +voltage to match system operating points. e.g. CPUfreq drivers can scale +voltage along with frequency to save power, SD drivers may need to select the +correct card voltage, etc. + +Consumers can control their supply voltage by calling :- + +int regulator_set_voltage(regulator, min_uV, max_uV); + +Where min_uV and max_uV are the minimum and maximum acceptable voltages in +microvolts. + +NOTE: this can be called when the regulator is enabled or disabled.

However this can be used in conjunction with is_enabled() to +determine the regulator physical output voltage. + + +4. Regulator Current Limit Control & Status (dynamic drivers) +=========================================================== + +Some consumer drivers need to be able to dynamically change their supply +current limit to match system operating points. e.g. LCD backlight driver can +change the current limit to vary the backlight brightness, USB drivers may want +to set the limit to 500mA when supplying power. + +Consumers can control their supply current limit by calling :- + +int regulator_set_current_limit(regulator, min_uA, max_uA); + +Where min_uA and max_uA are the minimum and maximum acceptable current limit in +microamps. + +NOTE: this can be called when the regulator is enabled or disabled.

Regulator Operating Mode Control & Status (dynamic drivers) +============================================================= + +Some consumers can further save system power by changing the operating mode of +their supply regulator to be more efficient when the consumers operating state +changes. e.g. consumer driver is idle and subsequently draws less current + +Regulator operating mode can be changed indirectly or directly. + +Indirect operating mode control. +-------------------------------- +Consumer drivers can request a change in their supply regulator operating mode +by calling :- + +int regulator_set_optimum_mode(struct regulator *regulator, int load_uA); + +This will cause the core to recalculate the total load on the regulator (based +on all its consumers) and change operating mode (if necessary and permitted) +to best match the current operating load. + +The load_uA value can be determined from the consumers datasheet. e.g.most +datasheets have tables showing the max current consumed in certain situations. + +Most consumers will use indirect operating mode control since they have no +knowledge of the regulator or whether the regulator is shared with other +consumers. + +Direct operating mode control. +------------------------------ +Bespoke or tightly coupled drivers may want to directly control regulator +operating mode depending on their operating point. This can be achieved by +calling :- + +int regulator_set_mode(struct regulator *regulator, unsigned int mode); +unsigned int regulator_get_mode(struct regulator *regulator); + +Direct mode will only be used by consumers that *know* about the regulator and +are not sharing the regulator with other consumers. + + +6.

Bus types and + device drivers are encouraged to use these functions. + +The runtime PM callbacks present in 'struct dev_pm_ops', the device runtime PM +fields of 'struct dev_pm_info' and the core helper functions provided for +runtime PM are described below. + +2. Device Runtime PM Callbacks + +There are three device runtime PM callbacks defined in 'struct dev_pm_ops': + +struct dev_pm_ops { + ... + int (*runtime_suspend)(struct device *dev); + int (*runtime_resume)(struct device *dev); + int (*runtime_idle)(struct device *dev); + ... +}; + +The ->runtime_suspend(), ->runtime_resume() and ->runtime_idle() callbacks +are executed by the PM core for the device's subsystem that may be either of +the following: + + 1. PM domain of the device, if the device's PM domain object, dev->pm_domain, + is present. + + 2. Device type of the device, if both dev->type and dev->type->pm are present. + + 3. Device class of the device, if both dev->class and dev->class->pm are + present. + + 4. Bus type of the device, if both dev->bus and dev->bus->pm are present. + +If the subsystem chosen by applying the above rules doesn't provide the relevant +callback, the PM core will invoke the corresponding driver callback stored in +dev->driver->pm directly (if present). + +The PM core always checks which callback to use in the order given above, so the +priority order of callbacks from high to low is: PM domain, device type, class +and bus type. Moreover, the high-priority one will always take precedence over +a low-priority one. The PM domain, bus type, device type and class callbacks +are referred to as subsystem-level callbacks in what follows. + +By default, the callbacks are always invoked in process context with interrupts +enabled. However, the pm_runtime_irq_safe() helper function can be used to tell +the PM core that it is safe to run the ->runtime_suspend(), ->runtime_resume() +and ->runtime_idle() callbacks for the given device in atomic context with +interrupts disabled. This implies that the callback routines in question must +not block or sleep, but it also means that the synchronous helper functions +listed at the end of Section 4 may be used for that device within an interrupt +handler or generally in an atomic context. + +The subsystem-level suspend callback, if present, is _entirely_ _responsible_ +for handling the suspend of the device as appropriate, which may, but need not +include executing the device driver's own ->runtime_suspend() callback (from the +PM core's point of view it is not necessary to implement a ->runtime_suspend() +callback in a device driver as long as the subsystem-level suspend callback +knows what to do to handle the device). + + * Once the subsystem-level suspend callback (or the driver suspend callback, + if invoked directly) has completed successfully for the given device, the PM + core regards the device as suspended, which need not mean that it has been + put into a low power state. It is supposed to mean, however, that the + device will not process data and will not communicate with the CPU(s) and + RAM until the appropriate resume callback is executed for it. The runtime + PM status of a device after successful execution of the suspend callback is + 'suspended'. + + * If the suspend callback returns -EBUSY or -EAGAIN, the device's runtime PM + status remains 'active', which means that the device _must_ be fully + operational afterwards. + + * If the suspend callback returns an error code different from -EBUSY and + -EAGAIN, the PM core regards this as a fatal error and will refuse to run + the helper functions described in Section 4 for the device until its status + is directly set to either'active', or 'suspended' (the PM core provides + special helper functions for this purpose). + +In particular, if the driver requires remote wakeup capability (i.e. hardware +mechanism allowing the device to request a change of its power state, such as +PCI PME) for proper functioning and device_run_wake() returns 'false' for the +device, then ->runtime_suspend() should return -EBUSY. On the other hand, if +device_run_wake() returns 'true' for the device and the device is put into a +low-power state during the execution of the suspend callback, it is expected +that remote wakeup will be enabled for the device. Generally, remote wakeup +should be enabled for all input devices put into low-power states at run time. + +The subsystem-level resume callback, if present, is _entirely_ _responsible_ for +handling the resume of the device as appropriate, which may, but need not +include executing the device driver's own ->runtime_resume() callback (from the +PM core's point of view it is not necessary to implement a ->runtime_resume() +callback in a device driver as long as the subsystem-level resume callback knows +what to do to handle the device). + + * Once the subsystem-level resume callback (or the driver resume callback, if + invoked directly) has completed successfully, the PM core regards the device + as fully operational, which means that the device _must_ be able to complete + I/O operations as needed. The runtime PM status of the device is then + 'active'. + + * If the resume callback returns an error code, the PM core regards this as a + fatal error and will refuse to run the helper functions described in Section + 4 for the device, until its status is directly set to either 'active', or + 'suspended' (by means of special helper functions provided by the PM core + for this purpose). + +The idle callback (a subsystem-level one, if present, or the driver one) is +executed by the PM core whenever the device appears to be idle, which is +indicated to the PM core by two counters, the device's usage counter and the +counter of 'active' children of the device. + + * If any of these counters is decreased using a helper function provided by + the PM core and it turns out to be equal to zero, the other counter is + checked. If that counter also is equal to zero, the PM core executes the + idle callback with the device as its argument. + +The action performed by the idle callback is totally dependent on the subsystem +(or driver) in question, but the expected and recommended action is to check +if the device can be suspended (i.e. if all of the conditions necessary for +suspending the device are satisfied) and to queue up a suspend request for the +device in that case. The value returned by this callback is ignored by the PM +core. + +The helper functions provided by the PM core, described in Section 4, guarantee +that the following constraints are met with respect to runtime PM callbacks for +one device: + +(1) The callbacks are mutually exclusive (e.g. it is forbidden to execute + ->runtime_suspend() in parallel with ->runtime_resume() or with another + instance of ->runtime_suspend() for the same device) with the exception that + ->runtime_suspend() or ->runtime_resume() can be executed in parallel with + ->runtime_idle() (although ->runtime_idle() will not be started while any + of the other callbacks is being executed for the same device). + +(2) ->runtime_idle() and ->runtime_suspend() can only be executed for 'active' + devices (i.e. the PM core will only execute ->runtime_idle() or + ->runtime_suspend() for the devices the runtime PM status of which is + 'active'). + +(3) ->runtime_idle() and ->runtime_suspend() can only be executed for a device + the usage counter of which is equal to zero _and_ either the counter of + 'active' children of which is equal to zero, or the 'power.ignore_children' + flag of which is set. + +(4) ->runtime_resume() can only be executed for 'suspended' devices (i.e. the + PM core will only execute ->runtime_resume() for the devices the runtime + PM status of which is 'suspended'). + +Additionally, the helper functions provided by the PM core obey the following +rules: + + * If ->runtime_suspend() is about to be executed or there's a pending request + to execute it, ->runtime_idle() will not be executed for the same device. + + * A request to execute or to schedule the execution of ->runtime_suspend() + will cancel any pending requests to execute ->runtime_idle() for the same + device. + + * If ->runtime_resume() is about to be executed or there's a pending request + to execute it, the other callbacks will not be executed for the same device. + + * A request to execute ->runtime_resume() will cancel any pending or + scheduled requests to execute the other callbacks for the same device, + except for scheduled autosuspends. + +3.

Runtime PM Initialization, Device Probing and Removal + +Initially, the runtime PM is disabled for all devices, which means that the +majority of the runtime PM helper funtions described in Section 4 will return +-EAGAIN until pm_runtime_enable() is called for the device. + +In addition to that, the initial runtime PM status of all devices is +'suspended', but it need not reflect the actual physical state of the device. +Thus, if the device is initially active (i.e. it is able to process I/O), its +runtime PM status must be changed to 'active', with the help of +pm_runtime_set_active(), before pm_runtime_enable() is called for the device. + +However, if the device has a parent and the parent's runtime PM is enabled, +calling pm_runtime_set_active() for the device will affect the parent, unless +the parent's 'power.ignore_children' flag is set. Namely, in that case the +parent won't be able to suspend at run time, using the PM core's helper +functions, as long as the child's status is 'active', even if the child's +runtime PM is still disabled (i.e. pm_runtime_enable() hasn't been called for +the child yet or pm_runtime_disable() has been called for it). For this reason, +once pm_runtime_set_active() has been called for the device, pm_runtime_enable() +should be called for it too as soon as reasonably possible or its runtime PM +status should be changed back to 'suspended' with the help of +pm_runtime_set_suspended(). + +If the default initial runtime PM status of the device (i.e. 'suspended') +reflects the actual state of the device, its bus type's or its driver's +->probe() callback will likely need to wake it up using one of the PM core's +helper functions described in Section 4. In that case, pm_runtime_resume() +should be used. Of course, for this purpose the device's runtime PM has to be +enabled earlier by calling pm_runtime_enable(). + +If the device bus type's or driver's ->probe() callback runs +pm_runtime_suspend() or pm_runtime_idle() or their asynchronous counterparts, +they will fail returning -EAGAIN, because the device's usage counter is +incremented by the driver core before executing ->probe(). Still, it may be +desirable to suspend the device as soon as ->probe() has finished, so the driver +core uses pm_runtime_put_sync() to invoke the subsystem-level idle callback for +the device at that time. + +Moreover, the driver core prevents runtime PM callbacks from racing with the bus +notifier callback in __device_release_driver(), which is necessary, because the +notifier is used by some subsystems to carry out operations affecting the +runtime PM functionality. It does so by calling pm_runtime_get_sync() before +driver_sysfs_remove() and the BUS_NOTIFY_UNBIND_DRIVER notifications. This +resumes the device if it's in the suspended state and prevents it from +being suspended again while those routines are being executed. + +To allow bus types and drivers to put devices into the suspended state by +calling pm_runtime_suspend() from their ->remove() routines, the driver core +executes pm_runtime_put_sync() after running the BUS_NOTIFY_UNBIND_DRIVER +notifications in __device_release_driver(). This requires bus types and +drivers to make their ->remove() callbacks avoid races with runtime PM directly, +but also it allows of more flexibility in the handling of devices during the +removal of their drivers. + +The user space can effectively disallow the driver of the device to power manage +it at run time by changing the value of its /sys/devices/.../power/control +attribute to "on", which causes pm_runtime_forbid() to be called. In principle, +this mechanism may also be used by the driver to effectively turn off the +runtime power management of the device until the user space turns it on. +Namely, during the initialization the driver can make sure that the runtime PM +status of the device is 'active' and call pm_runtime_forbid(). It should be +noted, however, that if the user space has already intentionally changed the +value of /sys/devices/.../power/control to "auto" to allow the driver to power +manage the device at run time, the driver may confuse it by using +pm_runtime_forbid() this way. + +6. Runtime PM and System Sleep + +Runtime PM and system sleep (i.e., system suspend and hibernation, also known +as suspend-to-RAM and suspend-to-disk) interact with each other in a couple of +ways. If a device is active when a system sleep starts, everything is +straightforward. But what should happen if the device is already suspended? + +The device may have different wake-up settings for runtime PM and system sleep. +For example, remote wake-up may be enabled for runtime suspend but disallowed +for system sleep (device_may_wakeup(dev) returns 'false'). When this happens, +the subsystem-level system suspend callback is responsible for changing the +device's wake-up setting (it may leave that to the device driver's system +suspend routine). It may be necessary to resume the device and suspend it again +in order to do so. The same is true if the driver uses different power levels +or other settings for runtime suspend and system sleep. + +During system resume, the simplest approach is to bring all devices back to full +power, even if they had been suspended before the system suspend began. There +are several reasons for this, including: + + * The device might need to switch power levels, wake-up settings, etc. + + * Remote wake-up events might have been lost by the firmware. + + * The device's children may need the device to be at full power in order + to resume themselves. + + * The driver's idea of the device state may not agree with the device's + physical state. This can happen during resume from hibernation. + + * The device might need to be reset. + + * Even though the device was suspended, if its usage counter was > 0 then most + likely it would need a runtime resume in the near future anyway. + +If the device had been suspended before the system suspend began and it's +brought back to full power during resume, then its runtime PM status will have +to be updated to reflect the actual post-system sleep status. The way to do +this is: + + pm_runtime_disable(dev); + pm_runtime_set_active(dev); + pm_runtime_enable(dev); + +The PM core always increments the runtime usage counter before calling the +->suspend() callback and decrements it after calling the ->resume() callback. +Hence disabling runtime PM temporarily like this will not cause any runtime +suspend attempts to be permanently lost. If the usage count goes to zero +following the return of the ->resume() callback, the ->runtime_idle() callback +will be invoked as usual. + +On some systems, however, system sleep is not entered through a global firmware +or hardware operation. Instead, all hardware components are put into low-power +states directly by the kernel in a coordinated way. Then, the system sleep +state effectively follows from the states the hardware components end up in +and the system is woken up from that state by a hardware interrupt or a similar +mechanism entirely under the kernel's control. As a result, the kernel never +gives control away and the states of all devices during resume are precisely +known to it. If that is the case and none of the situations listed above takes +place (in particular, if the system is not waking up from hibernation), it may +be more efficient to leave the devices that had been suspended before the system +suspend began in the suspended state. + +The PM core does its best to reduce the probability of race conditions between +the runtime PM and system suspend/resume (and hibernation) callbacks by carrying +out the following operations: + + * During system suspend it calls pm_runtime_get_noresume() and + pm_runtime_barrier() for every device right before executing the + subsystem-level .suspend() callback for it. In addition to that it calls + __pm_runtime_disable() with 'false' as the second argument for every device + right before executing the subsystem-level .suspend_late() callback for it. + + * During system resume it calls pm_runtime_enable() and pm_runtime_put_sync() + for every device right after executing the subsystem-level .resume_early() + callback and right after executing the subsystem-level .resume() callback + for it, respectively. + +7. Generic subsystem callbacks + +Subsystems may wish to conserve code space by using the set of generic power +management callbacks provided by the PM core, defined in +driver/base/power/generic_ops.c: + + int pm_generic_runtime_idle(struct device *dev); + - invoke the ->runtime_idle() callback provided by the driver of this + device, if defined, and call pm_runtime_suspend() for this device if the + return value is 0 or the callback is not defined + + int pm_generic_runtime_suspend(struct device *dev); + - invoke the ->runtime_suspend() callback provided by the driver of this + device and return its result, or return -EINVAL if not defined + + int pm_generic_runtime_resume(struct device *dev); + - invoke the ->runtime_resume() callback provided by the driver of this + device and return its result, or return -EINVAL if not defined + + int pm_generic_suspend(struct device *dev); + - if the device has not been suspended at run time, invoke the ->suspend() + callback provided by its driver and return its result, or return 0 if not + defined + + int pm_generic_suspend_noirq(struct device *dev); + - if pm_runtime_suspended(dev) returns "false", invoke the ->suspend_noirq() + callback provided by the device's driver and return its result, or return + 0 if not defined + + int pm_generic_resume(struct device *dev); + - invoke the ->resume() callback provided by the driver of this device and, + if successful, change the device's runtime PM status to 'active' + + int pm_generic_resume_noirq(struct device *dev); + - invoke the ->resume_noirq() callback provided by the driver of this device + + int pm_generic_freeze(struct device *dev); + - if the device has not been suspended at run time, invoke the ->freeze() + callback provided by its driver and return its result, or return 0 if not + defined + + int pm_generic_freeze_noirq(struct device *dev); + - if pm_runtime_suspended(dev) returns "false", invoke the ->freeze_noirq() + callback provided by the device's driver and return its result, or return + 0 if not defined + + int pm_generic_thaw(struct device *dev); + - if the device has not been suspended at run time, invoke the ->thaw() + callback provided by its driver and return its result, or return 0 if not + defined + + int pm_generic_thaw_noirq(struct device *dev); + - if pm_runtime_suspended(dev) returns "false", invoke the ->thaw_noirq() + callback provided by the device's driver and return its result, or return + 0 if not defined + + int pm_generic_poweroff(struct device *dev); + - if the device has not been suspended at run time, invoke the ->poweroff() + callback provided by its driver and return its result, or return 0 if not + defined + + int pm_generic_poweroff_noirq(struct device *dev); + - if pm_runtime_suspended(dev) returns "false", run the ->poweroff_noirq() + callback provided by the device's driver and return its result, or return + 0 if not defined + + int pm_generic_restore(struct device *dev); + - invoke the ->restore() callback provided by the driver of this device and, + if successful, change the device's runtime PM status to 'active' + + int pm_generic_restore_noirq(struct device *dev); + - invoke the ->restore_noirq() callback provided by the device's driver + +These functions can be assigned to the ->runtime_idle(), ->runtime_suspend(), +->runtime_resume(), ->suspend(), ->suspend_noirq(), ->resume(), +->resume_noirq(), ->freeze(), ->freeze_noirq(), ->thaw(), ->thaw_noirq(), +->poweroff(), ->poweroff_noirq(), ->restore(), ->restore_noirq() callback +pointers in the subsystem-level dev_pm_ops structures. + +If a subsystem wishes to use all of them at the same time, it can simply assign +the GENERIC_SUBSYS_PM_OPS macro, defined in include/linux/pm.h, to its +dev_pm_ops structure pointer. + +Device drivers that wish to use the same function as a system suspend, freeze, +poweroff and runtime suspend callback, and similarly for system resume, thaw, +restore, and runtime resume, can achieve this with the help of the +UNIVERSAL_DEV_PM_OPS macro defined in include/linux/pm.h (possibly setting its +last argument to NULL). + +8. "No-Callback" Devices + +Some "devices" are only logical sub-devices of their parent and cannot be +power-managed on their own. (The prototype example is a USB interface. Entire +USB devices can go into low-power mode or send wake-up requests, but neither is +possible for individual interfaces.) The drivers for these devices have no +need of runtime PM callbacks; if the callbacks did exist, ->runtime_suspend() +and ->runtime_resume() would always return 0 without doing anything else and +->runtime_idle() would always call pm_runtime_suspend(). + +Subsystems can tell the PM core about these devices by calling +pm_runtime_no_callbacks(). This should be done after the device structure is +initialized and before it is registered (although after device registration is +also okay). The routine will set the device's power.no_callbacks flag and +prevent the non-debugging runtime PM sysfs attributes from being created. + +When power.no_callbacks is set, the PM core will not invoke the +->runtime_idle(), ->runtime_suspend(), or ->runtime_resume() callbacks. +Instead it will assume that suspends and resumes always succeed and that idle +devices should be suspended. + +As a consequence, the PM core will never directly inform the device's subsystem +or driver about runtime power changes. Instead, the driver for the device's +parent must take responsibility for telling the device's driver when the +parent's power state changes. + +9. Autosuspend, or automatically-delayed suspends + +Changing a device's power state isn't free; it requires both time and energy. +A device should be put in a low-power state only when there's some reason to +think it will remain in that state for a substantial time. A common heuristic +says that a device which hasn't been used for a while is liable to remain +unused; following this advice, drivers should not allow devices to be suspended +at runtime until they have been inactive for some minimum period. Even when +the heuristic ends up being non-optimal, it will still prevent devices from +"bouncing" too rapidly between low-power and full-power states. + +The term "autosuspend" is an historical remnant. It doesn't mean that the +device is automatically suspended (the subsystem or driver still has to call +the appropriate PM routines); rather it means that runtime suspends will +automatically be delayed until the desired period of inactivity has elapsed. + +Inactivity is determined based on the power.last_busy field. Drivers should +call pm_runtime_mark_last_busy() to update this field after carrying out I/O, +typically just before calling pm_runtime_put_autosuspend(). The desired length +of the inactivity period is a matter of policy. Subsystems can set this length +initially by calling pm_runtime_set_autosuspend_delay(), but after device +registration the length should be controlled by user space, using the +/sys/devices/.../power/autosuspend_delay_ms attribute. + +In order to use autosuspend, subsystems or drivers must call +pm_runtime_use_autosuspend() (preferably before registering the device), and +thereafter they should use the various *_autosuspend() helper functions instead +of the non-autosuspend counterparts: + + Instead of: pm_runtime_suspend use: pm_runtime_autosuspend; + Instead of: pm_schedule_suspend use: pm_request_autosuspend; + Instead of: pm_runtime_put use: pm_runtime_put_autosuspend; + Instead of: pm_runtime_put_sync use: pm_runtime_put_sync_autosuspend. + +Drivers may also continue to use the non-autosuspend helper functions; they +will behave normally, not taking the autosuspend delay into account. +Similarly, if the power.use_autosuspend field isn't set then the autosuspend +helper functions will behave just like the non-autosuspend counterparts. + +Under some circumstances a driver or subsystem may want to prevent a device +from autosuspending immediately, even though the usage counter is zero and the +autosuspend delay time has expired. If the ->runtime_suspend() callback +returns -EAGAIN or -EBUSY, and if the next autosuspend delay expiration time is +in the future (as it normally would be if the callback invoked +pm_runtime_mark_last_busy()), the PM core will automatically reschedule the +autosuspend. The ->runtime_suspend() callback can't do this rescheduling +itself because no suspend requests of any kind are accepted while the device is +suspending (i.e., while the callback is running). + +The implementation is well suited for asynchronous use in interrupt contexts. +However such use inevitably involves races, because the PM core can't +synchronize ->runtime_suspend() callbacks with the arrival of I/O requests. +This synchronization must be handled by the driver, using its private lock. +Here is a schematic pseudo-code example: + + foo_read_or_write(struct foo_priv *foo, void *data) + { + lock(&foo->private_lock); + add_request_to_io_queue(foo, data); + if (foo->num_pending_requests++ == 0) + pm_runtime_get(&foo->dev); + if (!foo->is_suspended) + foo_process_next_request(foo); + unlock(&foo->private_lock); + } + + foo_io_completion(struct foo_priv *foo, void *req) + { + lock(&foo->private_lock); + if (--foo->num_pending_requests == 0) { + pm_runtime_mark_last_busy(&foo->dev); + pm_runtime_put_autosuspend(&foo->dev); + } else { + foo_process_next_request(foo); + } + unlock(&foo->private_lock); + /* Send req result back to the user ... */ + } + + int foo_runtime_suspend(struct device *dev) + { + struct foo_priv foo = container_of(dev, ...); + int ret = 0; + + lock(&foo->private_lock); + if (foo->num_pending_requests > 0) { + ret = -EBUSY; + } else { + /* ... suspend the device ... */ + foo->is_suspended = 1; + } + unlock(&foo->private_lock); + return ret; + } + + int foo_runtime_resume(struct device *dev) + { + struct foo_priv foo = container_of(dev, ...); + + lock(&foo->private_lock); + /* ... resume the device ... */ + foo->is_suspended = 0; + pm_runtime_mark_last_busy(&foo->dev); + if (foo->num_pending_requests > 0) + foo_process_requests(foo); + unlock(&foo->private_lock); + return 0; + } + +The important point is that after foo_io_completion() asks for an autosuspend, +the foo_runtime_suspend() callback may race with foo_read_or_write(). +Therefore foo_runtime_suspend() has to check whether there are any pending I/O +requests (while holding the private lock) before allowing the suspend to +proceed. + +In addition, the power.autosuspend_delay field can be changed by user space at +any time. If a driver cares about this, it can call +pm_runtime_autosuspend_expiration() from within the ->runtime_suspend() +callback while holding its private lock.

What are the issues involved in CPU hotplug? + ------------------------------------------- + +There are some interesting situations involving CPU hotplug and microcode +update on the CPUs, as discussed below: + +[Please bear in mind that the kernel requests the microcode images from +userspace, using the request_firmware() function defined in +drivers/base/firmware_class.c] + + +a. When all the CPUs are identical: + + This is the most common situation and it is quite straightforward: we want + to apply the same microcode revision to each of the CPUs. + To give an example of x86, the collect_cpu_info() function defined in + arch/x86/kernel/microcode_core.c helps in discovering the type of the CPU + and thereby in applying the correct microcode revision to it. + But note that the kernel does not maintain a common microcode image for the + all CPUs, in order to handle case 'b' described below. + + +b. When some of the CPUs are different than the rest: + + In this case since we probably need to apply different microcode revisions + to different CPUs, the kernel maintains a copy of the correct microcode + image for each CPU (after appropriate CPU type/model discovery using + functions such as collect_cpu_info()). + + +c. When a CPU is physically hot-unplugged and a new (and possibly different + type of) CPU is hot-plugged into the system: + + In the current design of the kernel, whenever a CPU is taken offline during + a regular CPU hotplug operation, upon receiving the CPU_DEAD notification + (which is sent by the CPU hotplug code), the microcode update driver's + callback for that event reacts by freeing the kernel's copy of the + microcode image for that CPU. + + Hence, when a new CPU is brought online, since the kernel finds that it + doesn't have the microcode image, it does the CPU type/model discovery + afresh and then requests the userspace for the appropriate microcode image + for that CPU, which is subsequently applied. + + For example, in x86, the mc_cpu_callback() function (which is the microcode + update driver's callback registered for CPU hotplug events) calls + microcode_update_cpu() which would call microcode_init_cpu() in this case, + instead of microcode_resume_cpu() when it finds that the kernel doesn't + have a valid microcode image. This ensures that the CPU type/model + discovery is performed and the right microcode is applied to the CPU after + getting it from userspace. + + +d. Handling microcode update during suspend/hibernate: + + Strictly speaking, during a CPU hotplug operation which does not involve + physically removing or inserting CPUs, the CPUs are not actually powered + off during a CPU offline. They are just put to the lowest C-states possible. + Hence, in such a case, it is not really necessary to re-apply microcode + when the CPUs are brought back online, since they wouldn't have lost the + image during the CPU offline operation. + + This is the usual scenario encountered during a resume after a suspend. + However, in the case of hibernation, since all the CPUs are completely + powered off, during restore it becomes necessary to apply the microcode + images to all the CPUs. + + [Note that we don't expect someone to physically pull out nodes and insert + nodes with a different type of CPUs in-between a suspend-resume or a + hibernate/restore cycle.] + + In the current design of the kernel however, during a CPU offline operation + as part of the suspend/hibernate cycle (the CPU_DEAD_FROZEN notification), + the existing copy of microcode image in the kernel is not freed up. + And during the CPU online operations (during resume/restore), since the + kernel finds that it already has copies of the microcode images for all the + CPUs, it just applies them to the CPUs, avoiding any re-discovery of CPU + type/model and the need for validating whether the microcode revisions are + right for the CPUs or not (due to the above assumption that physical CPU + hotplug will not be done in-between suspend/resume or hibernate/restore + cycles). + + +III. Are there any known problems when regular CPU hotplug and suspend race + with each other? + +Yes, they are listed below: + +1. When invoking regular CPU hotplug, the 'tasks_frozen' argument passed to + the _cpu_down() and _cpu_up() functions is *always* 0. + This might not reflect the true current state of the system, since the + tasks could have been frozen by an out-of-band event such as a suspend + operation in progress. Hence, it will lead to wrong notifications being + sent during the cpu online/offline events (eg, CPU_ONLINE notification + instead of CPU_ONLINE_FROZEN) which in turn will lead to execution of + inappropriate code by the callbacks registered for such CPU hotplug events. + +2. If a regular CPU hotplug stress test happens to race with the freezer due + to a suspend operation in progress at the same time, then we could hit the + situation described below: + + * A regular cpu online operation continues its journey from userspace + into the kernel, since the freezing has not yet begun. + * Then freezer gets to work and freezes userspace. + * If cpu online has not yet completed the microcode update stuff by now, + it will now start waiting on the frozen userspace in the + TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state, in order to get the microcode image. + * Now the freezer continues and tries to freeze the remaining tasks. But + due to this wait mentioned above, the freezer won't be able to freeze + the cpu online hotplug task and hence freezing of tasks fails. + + As a result of this task freezing failure, the suspend operation gets + aborted. diff --git a/Documentation/power/swsusp-and-swap-files.txt b/Documentation/power/swsusp-and-swap-files.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..f281886d --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/power/swsusp-and-swap-files.txt @@ -0,0 +1,60 @@ +Using swap files with software suspend (swsusp) + (C) 2006 Rafael J.

It +saves the state of the machine to a filesystem or to a partition and switches +to standby mode. Later resuming the machine the saved state is loaded back to +ram and the machine can continue its work. It has two real benefits. First we +save ourselves the time machine goes down and later boots up, energy costs +are real high when running from batteries. The other gain is that we don't have to +interrupt our programs so processes that are calculating something for a long +time shouldn't need to be written interruptible. + +swsusp saves the state of the machine into active swaps and then reboots or +powerdowns. You must explicitly specify the swap partition to resume from with +``resume='' kernel option. If signature is found it loads and restores saved +state. If the option ``noresume'' is specified as a boot parameter, it skips +the resuming. If the option ``hibernate=nocompress'' is specified as a boot +parameter, it saves hibernation image without compression. + +In the meantime while the system is suspended you should not add/remove any +of the hardware, write to the filesystems, etc. + +Sleep states summary +==================== + +There are three different interfaces you can use, /proc/acpi should +work like this: + +In a really perfect world: +echo 1 > /proc/acpi/sleep # for standby +echo 2 > /proc/acpi/sleep # for suspend to ram +echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep # for suspend to ram, but with more power conservative +echo 4 > /proc/acpi/sleep # for suspend to disk +echo 5 > /proc/acpi/sleep # for shutdown unfriendly the system + +and perhaps +echo 4b > /proc/acpi/sleep # for suspend to disk via s4bios + +Frequently Asked Questions +========================== + +Q: well, suspending a server is IMHO a really stupid thing, +but... (Diego Zuccato): + +A: You bought new UPS for your server. How do you install it without +bringing machine down? Suspend to disk, rearrange power cables, +resume. + +You have your server on UPS. Power died, and UPS is indicating 30 +seconds to failure. What do you do? Suspend to disk. + + +Q: Maybe I'm missing something, but why don't the regular I/O paths work? + +A: We do use the regular I/O paths. However we cannot restore the data +to its original location as we load it. That would create an +inconsistent kernel state which would certainly result in an oops. +Instead, we load the image into unused memory and then atomically copy +it back to it original location. This implies, of course, a maximum +image size of half the amount of memory. + +There are two solutions to this: + +* require half of memory to be free during suspend. That way you can +read "new" data onto free spots, then cli and copy + +* assume we had special "polling" ide driver that only uses memory +between 0-640KB. That way, I'd have to make sure that 0-640KB is free +during suspending, but otherwise it would work... + +suspend2 shares this fundamental limitation, but does not include user +data and disk caches into "used memory" by saving them in +advance. That means that the limitation goes away in practice. + +Q: Does linux support ACPI S4? + +A: Yes. That's what echo platform > /sys/power/disk does. + +Q: What is 'suspend2'? + +A: suspend2 is 'Software Suspend 2', a forked implementation of +suspend-to-disk which is available as separate patches for 2.4 and 2.6 +kernels from swsusp.sourceforge.net. It includes support for SMP, 4GB +highmem and preemption. It also has a extensible architecture that +allows for arbitrary transformations on the image (compression, +encryption) and arbitrary backends for writing the image (eg to swap +or an NFS share[Work In Progress]). Questions regarding suspend2 +should be sent to the mailing list available through the suspend2 +website, and not to the Linux Kernel Mailing List. We are working +toward merging suspend2 into the mainline kernel. + +Q: What is the freezing of tasks and why are we using it? + +A: The freezing of tasks is a mechanism by which user space processes and some +kernel threads are controlled during hibernation or system-wide suspend (on some +architectures). See freezing-of-tasks.txt for details. + +Q: What is the difference between "platform" and "shutdown"? + +A: + +shutdown: save state in linux, then tell bios to powerdown + +platform: save state in linux, then tell bios to powerdown and blink + "suspended led" + +"platform" is actually right thing to do where supported, but +"shutdown" is most reliable (except on ACPI systems). + +Q: I do not understand why you have such strong objections to idea of +selective suspend. + +A: Do selective suspend during runtime power management, that's okay. But +it's useless for suspend-to-disk. (And I do not see how you could use +it for suspend-to-ram, I hope you do not want that). + +Lets see, so you suggest to + +* SUSPEND all but swap device and parents +* Snapshot +* Write image to disk +* SUSPEND swap device and parents +* Powerdown + +Oh no, that does not work, if swap device or its parents uses DMA, +you've corrupted data. You'd have to do + +* SUSPEND all but swap device and parents +* FREEZE swap device and parents +* Snapshot +* UNFREEZE swap device and parents +* Write +* SUSPEND swap device and parents + +Which means that you still need that FREEZE state, and you get more +complicated code. (And I have not yet introduce details like system +devices). + +Q: There don't seem to be any generally useful behavioral +distinctions between SUSPEND and FREEZE. + +A: Doing SUSPEND when you are asked to do FREEZE is always correct, +but it may be unnecessarily slow. If you want your driver to stay simple, +slowness may not matter to you. It can always be fixed later. + +For devices like disk it does matter, you do not want to spindown for +FREEZE. + +Q: After resuming, system is paging heavily, leading to very bad interactivity. + +A: Try running + +cat `cat /proc/[0-9]*/maps | grep / | sed 's:.* /:/:' | sort -u` > /dev/null + +after resume. swapoff -a; swapon -a may also be useful. + +Q: What happens to devices during swsusp? They seem to be resumed +during system suspend? + +A: That's correct. We need to resume them if we want to write image to +disk. Whole sequence goes like + + Suspend part + ~~~~~~~~~~~~ + running system, user asks for suspend-to-disk + + user processes are stopped + + suspend(PMSG_FREEZE): devices are frozen so that they don't interfere + with state snapshot + + state snapshot: copy of whole used memory is taken with interrupts disabled + + resume(): devices are woken up so that we can write image to swap + + write image to swap + + suspend(PMSG_SUSPEND): suspend devices so that we can power off + + turn the power off + + Resume part + ~~~~~~~~~~~ + (is actually pretty similar) + + running system, user asks for suspend-to-disk + + user processes are stopped (in common case there are none, but with resume-from-initrd, no one knows) + + read image from disk + + suspend(PMSG_FREEZE): devices are frozen so that they don't interfere + with image restoration + + image restoration: rewrite memory with image + + resume(): devices are woken up so that system can continue + + thaw all user processes + +Q: What is this 'Encrypt suspend image' for? + +A: First of all: it is not a replacement for dm-crypt encrypted swap. +It cannot protect your computer while it is suspended. Instead it does +protect from leaking sensitive data after resume from suspend. + +Think of the following: you suspend while an application is running +that keeps sensitive data in memory. The application itself prevents +the data from being swapped out. Suspend, however, must write these +data to swap to be able to resume later on. Without suspend encryption +your sensitive data are then stored in plaintext on disk. This means +that after resume your sensitive data are accessible to all +applications having direct access to the swap device which was used +for suspend. If you don't need swap after resume these data can remain +on disk virtually forever. Thus it can happen that your system gets +broken in weeks later and sensitive data which you thought were +encrypted and protected are retrieved and stolen from the swap device. +To prevent this situation you should use 'Encrypt suspend image'. + +During suspend a temporary key is created and this key is used to +encrypt the data written to disk. When, during resume, the data was +read back into memory the temporary key is destroyed which simply +means that all data written to disk during suspend are then +inaccessible so they can't be stolen later on. The only thing that +you must then take care of is that you call 'mkswap' for the swap +partition used for suspend as early as possible during regular +boot. This asserts that any temporary key from an oopsed suspend or +from a failed or aborted resume is erased from the swap device. + +As a rule of thumb use encrypted swap to protect your data while your +system is shut down or suspended. Additionally use the encrypted +suspend image to prevent sensitive data from being stolen after +resume. + +Q: Can I suspend to a swap file? + +A: Generally, yes, you can. However, it requires you to use the "resume=" and +"resume_offset=" kernel command line parameters, so the resume from a swap file +cannot be initiated from an initrd or initramfs image. See +swsusp-and-swap-files.txt for details. + +Q: Is there a maximum system RAM size that is supported by swsusp? + +A: It should work okay with highmem. + +Q: Does swsusp (to disk) use only one swap partition or can it use +multiple swap partitions (aggregate them into one logical space)? + +A: Only one swap partition, sorry. + +Q: If my application(s) causes lots of memory & swap space to be used +(over half of the total system RAM), is it correct that it is likely +to be useless to try to suspend to disk while that app is running? + +A: No, it should work okay, as long as your app does not mlock() +it. Just prepare big enough swap partition. + +Q: What information is useful for debugging suspend-to-disk problems? + +A: Well, last messages on the screen are always useful. If something +is broken, it is usually some kernel driver, therefore trying with as +little as possible modules loaded helps a lot. I also prefer people to +suspend from console, preferably without X running. Booting with +init=/bin/bash, then swapon and starting suspend sequence manually +usually does the trick. Then it is good idea to try with latest +vanilla kernel. + +Q: How can distributions ship a swsusp-supporting kernel with modular +disk drivers (especially SATA)? + +A: Well, it can be done, load the drivers, then do echo into +/sys/power/disk/resume file from initrd. Be sure not to mount +anything, not even read-only mount, or you are going to lose your +data. + +Q: How do I make suspend more verbose? + +A: If you want to see any non-error kernel messages on the virtual +terminal the kernel switches to during suspend, you have to set the +kernel console loglevel to at least 4 (KERN_WARNING), for example by +doing + + # save the old loglevel + read LOGLEVEL DUMMY < /proc/sys/kernel/printk + # set the loglevel so we see the progress bar. + # if the level is higher than needed, we leave it alone. + if [ $LOGLEVEL -lt 5 ]; then + echo 5 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk + fi + + IMG_SZ=0 + read IMG_SZ < /sys/power/image_size + echo -n disk > /sys/power/state + RET=$? + # + # the logic here is: + # if image_size > 0 (without kernel support, IMG_SZ will be zero), + # then try again with image_size set to zero. + if [ $RET -ne 0 -a $IMG_SZ -ne 0 ]; then # try again with minimal image size + echo 0 > /sys/power/image_size + echo -n disk > /sys/power/state + RET=$? + fi + + # restore previous loglevel + echo $LOGLEVEL > /proc/sys/kernel/printk + exit $RET + +Q: Is this true that if I have a mounted filesystem on a USB device and +I suspend to disk, I can lose data unless the filesystem has been mounted +with "sync"? + +A: That's right ... if you disconnect that device, you may lose data. +In fact, even with "-o sync" you can lose data if your programs have +information in buffers they haven't written out to a disk you disconnect, +or if you disconnect before the device finished saving data you wrote. + +Software suspend normally powers down USB controllers, which is equivalent +to disconnecting all USB devices attached to your system. + +Your system might well support low-power modes for its USB controllers +while the system is asleep, maintaining the connection, using true sleep +modes like "suspend-to-RAM" or "standby". (Don't write "disk" to the +/sys/power/state file; write "standby" or "mem".) We've not seen any +hardware that can use these modes through software suspend, although in +theory some systems might support "platform" modes that won't break the +USB connections. + +Remember that it's always a bad idea to unplug a disk drive containing a +mounted filesystem. That's true even when your system is asleep! The +safest thing is to unmount all filesystems on removable media (such USB, +Firewire, CompactFlash, MMC, external SATA, or even IDE hotplug bays) +before suspending; then remount them after resuming. + +There is a work-around for this problem. For more information, see +Documentation/usb/persist.txt. + +Q: Can I suspend-to-disk using a swap partition under LVM? + +A: No. You can suspend successfully, but you'll not be able to +resume. uswsusp should be able to work with LVM. See suspend.sf.net. + +Q: I upgraded the kernel from 2.6.15 to 2.6.16. Both kernels were +compiled with the similar configuration files. Anyway I found that +suspend to disk (and resume) is much slower on 2.6.16 compared to +2.6.15. Any idea for why that might happen or how can I speed it up? + +A: This is because the size of the suspend image is now greater than +for 2.6.15 (by saving more data we can get more responsive system +after resume). + +There's the /sys/power/image_size knob that controls the size of the +image. If you set it to 0 (eg. by echo 0 > /sys/power/image_size as +root), the 2.6.15 behavior should be restored. If it is still too +slow, take a look at suspend.sf.net -- userland suspend is faster and +supports LZF compression to speed it up further. diff --git a/Documentation/power/tricks.txt b/Documentation/power/tricks.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..a1b8f724 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/power/tricks.txt @@ -0,0 +1,27 @@ + swsusp/S3 tricks + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz> + +If you want to trick swsusp/S3 into working, you might want to try: + +* go with minimal config, turn off drivers like USB, AGP you don't + really need + +* turn off APIC and preempt + +* use ext2.

Such utilities are available, for example, from +<http://suspend.sourceforge.net>. You may want to have a look at them if you +are going to develop your own suspend/resume utilities. + +The interface consists of a character device providing the open(), +release(), read(), and write() operations as well as several ioctl() +commands defined in include/linux/suspend_ioctls.h . The major and minor +numbers of the device are, respectively, 10 and 231, and they can +be read from /sys/class/misc/snapshot/dev. + +The device can be open either for reading or for writing.

This call + is needed to implement the suspend-to-both mechanism in which the + suspend image is first created, as though the system had been suspended + to disk, and then the system is suspended to RAM (this makes it possible + to resume the system from RAM if there's enough battery power or restore + its state on the basis of the saved suspend image otherwise) + +The device's read() operation can be used to transfer the snapshot image from +the kernel. It has the following limitations: +- you cannot read() more than one virtual memory page at a time +- read()s across page boundaries are impossible (ie. if ypu read() 1/2 of + a page in the previous call, you will only be able to read() + _at_ _most_ 1/2 of the page in the next call) + +The device's write() operation is used for uploading the system memory snapshot +into the kernel. It has the same limitations as the read() operation. + +The release() operation frees all memory allocated for the snapshot image +and all swap pages allocated with SNAPSHOT_ALLOC_SWAP_PAGE (if any). +Thus it is not necessary to use either SNAPSHOT_FREE or +SNAPSHOT_FREE_SWAP_PAGES before closing the device (in fact it will also +unfreeze user space processes frozen by SNAPSHOT_UNFREEZE if they are +still frozen when the device is being closed). + +Currently it is assumed that the userland utilities reading/writing the +snapshot image from/to the kernel will use a swap partition, called the resume +partition, or a swap file as storage space (if a swap file is used, the resume +partition is the partition that holds this file). However, this is not really +required, as they can use, for example, a special (blank) suspend partition or +a file on a partition that is unmounted before SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE and +mounted afterwards. + +These utilities MUST NOT make any assumptions regarding the ordering of +data within the snapshot image. The contents of the image are entirely owned +by the kernel and its structure may be changed in future kernel releases. + +The snapshot image MUST be written to the kernel unaltered (ie. all of the image +data, metadata and header MUST be written in _exactly_ the same amount, form +and order in which they have been read). Otherwise, the behavior of the +resumed system may be totally unpredictable. + +While executing SNAPSHOT_ATOMIC_RESTORE the kernel checks if the +structure of the snapshot image is consistent with the information stored +in the image header. If any inconsistencies are detected, +SNAPSHOT_ATOMIC_RESTORE will not succeed. Still, this is not a fool-proof +mechanism and the userland utilities using the interface SHOULD use additional +means, such as checksums, to ensure the integrity of the snapshot image. + +The suspending and resuming utilities MUST lock themselves in memory, +preferably using mlockall(), before calling SNAPSHOT_FREEZE. + +The suspending utility MUST check the value stored by SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE +in the memory location pointed to by the last argument of ioctl() and proceed +in accordance with it: +1. If the value is 1 (ie. the system memory snapshot has just been + created and the system is ready for saving it): + (a) The suspending utility MUST NOT close the snapshot device + _unless_ the whole suspend procedure is to be cancelled, in + which case, if the snapshot image has already been saved, the + suspending utility SHOULD destroy it, preferably by zapping + its header. If the suspend is not to be cancelled, the + system MUST be powered off or rebooted after the snapshot + image has been saved. + (b) The suspending utility SHOULD NOT attempt to perform any + file system operations (including reads) on the file systems + that were mounted before SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE has been + called. However, it MAY mount a file system that was not + mounted at that time and perform some operations on it (eg. + use it for saving the image). +2. If the value is 0 (ie. the system state has just been restored from + the snapshot image), the suspending utility MUST close the snapshot + device. Afterwards it will be treated as a regular userland process, + so it need not exit. + +The resuming utility SHOULD NOT attempt to mount any file systems that could +be mounted before suspend and SHOULD NOT attempt to perform any operations +involving such file systems. + +For details, please refer to the source code. diff --git a/Documentation/power/video.txt b/Documentation/power/video.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..3e6272bc --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/power/video.txt @@ -0,0 +1,185 @@ + + Video issues with S3 resume + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + 2003-2006, Pavel Machek + +During S3 resume, hardware needs to be reinitialized.
