ACPI is the newer +of the two technologies and puts power management in the hands of the +operating system, allowing for more intelligent power management than +is possible with BIOS controlled APM. + +The best way to determine which, if either, your system supports is to +build a kernel with both ACPI and APM enabled (as of 2.3.x ACPI is +enabled by default). If a working ACPI implementation is found, the +ACPI driver will override and disable APM, otherwise the APM driver +will be used. + +No, sorry, you cannot have both ACPI and APM enabled and running at +once. Some people with broken ACPI or broken APM implementations +would like to use both to get a full set of working features, but you +simply cannot mix and match the two. Only one power management +interface can be in control of the machine at once. Think about it.. + +User-space Daemons +------------------ +Both APM and ACPI rely on user-space daemons, apmd and acpid +respectively, to be completely functional.

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 [1]_ + +processors + - test the freezing of processes, suspending of devices, platform + global control methods [1]_ and the disabling of nonboot CPUs + +core + - test the freezing of processes, suspending of devices, platform global + control methods\ [1]_, the disabling of nonboot CPUs and suspending + of platform/system devices + +.. [1] + + 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 a few +seconds (5 by default, but configurable by the suspend.pm_test_delay module +parameter), 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 a +configurable number of 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) Using the "test_resume" hibernation option +--------------------------------------------- + +/sys/power/disk generally tells the kernel what to do after creating a +hibernation image. One of the available options is "test_resume" which +causes the just created image to be used for immediate restoration. Namely, +after doing:: + + # echo test_resume > /sys/power/disk + # echo disk > /sys/power/state + +a hibernation image will be created and a resume from it will be triggered +immediately without involving the platform firmware in any way. + +That test can be used to check if failures to resume from hibernation are +related to bad interactions with the platform firmware. That is, if the above +works every time, but resume from actual hibernation does not work or is +unreliable, the platform firmware may be responsible for the failures. + +On architectures and platforms that support using different kernels to restore +hibernation images (that is, the kernel used to read the image from storage and +load it into memory is different from the one included in the image) or support +kernel address space randomization, it also can be used to check if failures +to resume may be related to the differences between the restore and image +kernels. + +d) 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 +(http://v3.sk/~lkundrak/firescope/). On x86 it is also possible to +use the PM_TRACE mechanism documented in Documentation/power/s2ram.rst . + +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 (S2RAM_LINK). + +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 S2RAM_LINK 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. Here is an +example of its output:: + + # mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug + # cat /sys/kernel/debug/suspend_stats + success: 20 + fail: 5 + failed_freeze: 0 + failed_prepare: 0 + failed_suspend: 5 + failed_suspend_noirq: 0 + failed_resume: 0 + failed_resume_noirq: 0 + failures: + last_failed_dev: alarm + adc + last_failed_errno: -16 + -16 + last_failed_step: suspend + suspend + +Field success means the success number of suspend to RAM, and field fail means +the failure number.

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 unnecessarily 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 to `struct charger_global_desc` +properly in order to activate in-suspend monitoring: + +`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. The following + +struct charger_desc elements: + +`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/drivers-testing.rst b/Documentation/power/drivers-testing.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..d77d2894f --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/power/drivers-testing.rst @@ -0,0 +1,52 @@ +==================================================== +Testing suspend and resume support in device drivers +==================================================== + + (C) 2007 Rafael J.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +======================= +Energy Model of devices +======================= + +1. Overview +----------- + +The Energy Model (EM) framework serves as an interface between drivers knowing +the power consumed by devices at various performance levels, and the kernel +subsystems willing to use that information to make energy-aware decisions. + +The source of the information about the power consumed by devices can vary greatly +from one platform to another. These power costs can be estimated using +devicetree data in some cases. In others, the firmware will know better. +Alternatively, userspace might be best positioned. And so on. In order to avoid +each and every client subsystem to re-implement support for each and every +possible source of information on its own, the EM framework intervenes as an +abstraction layer which standardizes the format of power cost tables in the +kernel, hence enabling to avoid redundant work. + +The power values might be expressed in micro-Watts or in an 'abstract scale'. +Multiple subsystems might use the EM and it is up to the system integrator to +check that the requirements for the power value scale types are met. An example +can be found in the Energy-Aware Scheduler documentation +Documentation/scheduler/sched-energy.rst. For some subsystems like thermal or +powercap power values expressed in an 'abstract scale' might cause issues. +These subsystems are more interested in estimation of power used in the past, +thus the real micro-Watts might be needed. An example of these requirements can +be found in the Intelligent Power Allocation in +Documentation/driver-api/thermal/power_allocator.rst. +Kernel subsystems might implement automatic detection to check whether EM +registered devices have inconsistent scale (based on EM internal flag). +Important thing to keep in mind is that when the power values are expressed in +an 'abstract scale' deriving real energy in micro-Joules would not be possible. + +The figure below depicts an example of drivers (Arm-specific here, but the +approach is applicable to any architecture) providing power costs to the EM +framework, and interested clients reading the data from it:: + + +---------------+ +-----------------+ +---------------+ + | Thermal (IPA) | | Scheduler (EAS) | | Other | + +---------------+ +-----------------+ +---------------+ + | | em_cpu_energy() | + | | em_cpu_get() | + +---------+ | +---------+ + | | | + v v v + +---------------------+ + | Energy Model | + | Framework | + +---------------------+ + ^ ^ ^ + | | | em_dev_register_perf_domain() + +----------+ | +---------+ + | | | + +---------------+ +---------------+ +--------------+ + | cpufreq-dt | | arm_scmi | | Other | + +---------------+ +---------------+ +--------------+ + ^ ^ ^ + | | | + +--------------+ +---------------+ +--------------+ + | Device Tree | | Firmware | | ? | + +--------------+ +---------------+ +--------------+ + +In case of CPU devices the EM framework manages power cost tables per +'performance domain' in the system. A performance domain is a group of CPUs +whose performance is scaled together. Performance domains generally have a +1-to-1 mapping with CPUFreq policies. All CPUs in a performance domain are +required to have the same micro-architecture. CPUs in different performance +domains can have different micro-architectures. + + +2. Core APIs +------------ + +2.1 Config options +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +CONFIG_ENERGY_MODEL must be enabled to use the EM framework. + + +2.2 Registration of performance domains +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Registration of 'advanced' EM +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The 'advanced' EM gets its name due to the fact that the driver is allowed +to provide more precised power model. It's not limited to some implemented math +formula in the framework (like it is in 'simple' EM case). It can better reflect +the real power measurements performed for each performance state. Thus, this +registration method should be preferred in case considering EM static power +(leakage) is important. + +Drivers are expected to register performance domains into the EM framework by +calling the following API:: + + int em_dev_register_perf_domain(struct device *dev, unsigned int nr_states, + struct em_data_callback *cb, cpumask_t *cpus, bool microwatts); + +Drivers must provide a callback function returning <frequency, power> tuples +for each performance state. The callback function provided by the driver is free +to fetch data from any relevant location (DT, firmware, ...), and by any mean +deemed necessary. Only for CPU devices, drivers must specify the CPUs of the +performance domains using cpumask. For other devices than CPUs the last +argument must be set to NULL. +The last argument 'microwatts' is important to set with correct value. Kernel +subsystems which use EM might rely on this flag to check if all EM devices use +the same scale. If there are different scales, these subsystems might decide +to return warning/error, stop working or panic. +See Section 3. for an example of driver implementing this +callback, or Section 2.4 for further documentation on this API + +Registration of EM using DT +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The EM can also be registered using OPP framework and information in DT +"operating-points-v2". Each OPP entry in DT can be extended with a property +"opp-microwatt" containing micro-Watts power value. This OPP DT property +allows a platform to register EM power values which are reflecting total power +(static + dynamic). These power values might be coming directly from +experiments and measurements. + +Registration of 'artificial' EM +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +There is an option to provide a custom callback for drivers missing detailed +knowledge about power value for each performance state. The callback +.get_cost() is optional and provides the 'cost' values used by the EAS. +This is useful for platforms that only provide information on relative +efficiency between CPU types, where one could use the information to +create an abstract power model. But even an abstract power model can +sometimes be hard to fit in, given the input power value size restrictions. +The .get_cost() allows to provide the 'cost' values which reflect the +efficiency of the CPUs. This would allow to provide EAS information which +has different relation than what would be forced by the EM internal +formulas calculating 'cost' values. To register an EM for such platform, the +driver must set the flag 'microwatts' to 0, provide .get_power() callback +and provide .get_cost() callback. The EM framework would handle such platform +properly during registration. A flag EM_PERF_DOMAIN_ARTIFICIAL is set for such +platform. Special care should be taken by other frameworks which are using EM +to test and treat this flag properly. + +Registration of 'simple' EM +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The 'simple' EM is registered using the framework helper function +cpufreq_register_em_with_opp(). It implements a power model which is tight to +math formula:: + + Power = C * V^2 * f + +The EM which is registered using this method might not reflect correctly the +physics of a real device, e.g. when static power (leakage) is important. + + +2.3 Accessing performance domains +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +There are two API functions which provide the access to the energy model: +em_cpu_get() which takes CPU id as an argument and em_pd_get() with device +pointer as an argument. It depends on the subsystem which interface it is +going to use, but in case of CPU devices both functions return the same +performance domain. + +Subsystems interested in the energy model of a CPU can retrieve it using the +em_cpu_get() API. The energy model tables are allocated once upon creation of +the performance domains, and kept in memory untouched. + +The energy consumed by a performance domain can be estimated using the +em_cpu_energy() API. The estimation is performed assuming that the schedutil +CPUfreq governor is in use in case of CPU device. Currently this calculation is +not provided for other type of devices. + +More details about the above APIs can be found in ``<linux/energy_model.h>`` +or in Section 2.4 + + +2.4 Description details of this API +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/energy_model.h + :internal: + +.. kernel-doc:: kernel/power/energy_model.c + :export: + + +3.

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 (https://lore.kernel.org/r/alpine.LFD.0.98.0704271801020.9964@woody.linux-foundation.org): + +"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 +Documentation/driver-api/pm/notifiers.rst. + +VI. Are there any precautions to be taken to prevent freezing failures? +======================================================================= + +Yes, there are. + +First of all, grabbing the 'system_transition_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 'system_transition_mutex' is +deemed necessary, it is strongly discouraged to directly call +mutex_[un]lock(&system_transition_mutex) since that could lead to freezing +failures, because if the suspend/hibernate code successfully acquired the +'system_transition_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 'system_transition_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(&system_transition_mutex). That would prevent freezing failures. + +V. Miscellaneous +================ + +/sys/power/pm_freeze_timeout controls how long it will cost at most to freeze +all user space processes or all freezable kernel threads, in unit of +millisecond. The default value is 20000, with range of unsigned integer. diff --git a/Documentation/power/index.rst b/Documentation/power/index.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..a0f5244fb --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/power/index.rst @@ -0,0 +1,46 @@ +..

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/opp/ directory and the header +is located in include/linux/pm_opp.h. OPP library can be enabled by enabling +CONFIG_PM_OPP from power management menuconfig menu. 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 -> + +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 its implementation. The following +operational functions operate only on available opps: +dev_pm_opp_find_freq_{ceil, floor}, dev_pm_opp_get_voltage, dev_pm_opp_get_freq, +dev_pm_opp_get_opp_count. + +dev_pm_opp_find_freq_exact is meant to be used to find the opp pointer +which can then be used for dev_pm_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 dev_pm_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. + +2. Initial OPP List Registration +================================ +The SoC implementation calls dev_pm_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 dev_pm_opp_enable / disable functions. + +dev_pm_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 its availability can be done + with the dev_pm_opp_enable/disable functions. OPP library + internally stores and manages this information in the dev_pm_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 = dev_pm_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. + +Callers of these functions shall call dev_pm_opp_put() after they have used the +OPP. Otherwise the memory for the OPP will never get freed and result in +memleak. + +dev_pm_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 dev_pm_opp_enable to actually make + it available:: + + opp = dev_pm_opp_find_freq_exact(dev, 1000000000, false); + dev_pm_opp_put(opp); + /* dont operate on the pointer.. just do a sanity check.. */ + if (IS_ERR(opp)) { + pr_err("frequency not disabled!\n"); + /* trigger appropriate actions.. */ + } else { + dev_pm_opp_enable(dev,1000000000); + } + + NOTE: + This is the only search function that operates on OPPs which are + not available. + +dev_pm_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; + opp = dev_pm_opp_find_freq_floor(dev, &freq); + dev_pm_opp_put(opp); + +dev_pm_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; + opp = dev_pm_opp_find_freq_ceil(dev, &freq); + dev_pm_opp_put(opp); + + 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 */ + opp = dev_pm_opp_find_freq_ceil(dev, &freq); + dev_pm_opp_put(opp); + 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. + +dev_pm_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 */ + opp = dev_pm_opp_find_freq_exact(dev, 1000000000, false); + dev_pm_opp_put(opp); + /* just error check */ + if (!IS_ERR(opp)) + ret = dev_pm_opp_enable(dev, 1000000000); + else + goto try_something_else; + } + +dev_pm_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 */ + opp = dev_pm_opp_find_freq_exact(dev, 1000000000, true); + dev_pm_opp_put(opp); + /* just error check */ + if (!IS_ERR(opp)) + ret = dev_pm_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 dev_pm_opp structure is necessary.

Hardware and Platform Support for PCI Power Management +========================================================= + +1.1. Native and Platform-Based Power Management +----------------------------------------------- + +In general, power management is a feature allowing one to save energy by putting +devices into states in which they draw less power (low-power states) at the +price of reduced functionality or performance. + +Usually, a device is put into a low-power state when it is underutilized or +completely inactive. 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 any power state (D0-D3), but they are not required to be capable +of generating PMEs from all supported 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_poll:1; /* Poll device's PME status bit */ + 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 d3hot_delay; /* D3hot->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.rst. +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/driver-api/pm/devices.rst. 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(). +It puts the device into the full power state and restores 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 is 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/driver-api/pm/devices.rst, 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/driver-api/pm/devices.rst, and +the "legacy" one, in which the .suspend() 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/driver-api/pm/notifiers.rst). + +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. + +3.1.19. Driver Flags for Power Management +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The PM core allows device drivers to set flags that influence the handling of +power management for the devices by the core itself and by middle layer code +including the PCI bus type. The flags should be set once at the driver probe +time with the help of the dev_pm_set_driver_flags() function and they should not +be updated directly afterwards. + +The DPM_FLAG_NO_DIRECT_COMPLETE flag prevents the PM core from using the +direct-complete mechanism allowing device suspend/resume callbacks to be skipped +if the device is in runtime suspend when the system suspend starts. That also +affects all of the ancestors of the device, so this flag should only be used if +absolutely necessary. + +The DPM_FLAG_SMART_PREPARE flag causes the PCI bus type to return a positive +value from pci_pm_prepare() only if the ->prepare callback provided by the +driver of the device returns a positive value. That allows the driver to opt +out from using the direct-complete mechanism dynamically (whereas setting +DPM_FLAG_NO_DIRECT_COMPLETE means permanent opt-out). + +The DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND flag tells the PCI bus type that from the driver's +perspective the device can be safely left in runtime suspend during system +suspend. That causes pci_pm_suspend(), pci_pm_freeze() and pci_pm_poweroff() +to avoid resuming the device from runtime suspend unless there are PCI-specific +reasons for doing that. Also, it causes pci_pm_suspend_late/noirq() and +pci_pm_poweroff_late/noirq() to return early if the device remains in runtime +suspend during the "late" phase of the system-wide transition under way. +Moreover, if the device is in runtime suspend in pci_pm_resume_noirq() or +pci_pm_restore_noirq(), its runtime PM status will be changed to "active" (as it +is going to be put into D0 going forward). + +Setting the DPM_FLAG_MAY_SKIP_RESUME flag means that the driver allows its +"noirq" and "early" resume callbacks to be skipped if the device can be left +in suspend after a system-wide transition into the working state. This flag is +taken into consideration by the PM core along with the power.may_skip_resume +status bit of the device which is set by pci_pm_suspend_noirq() in certain +situations. If the PM core determines that the driver's "noirq" and "early" +resume callbacks should be skipped, the dev_pm_skip_resume() helper function +will return "true" and that will cause pci_pm_resume_noirq() and +pci_pm_resume_early() to return upfront without touching the device and +executing the driver callbacks. + +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 enabled by default by the PCI core. PCI +device drivers do not need to enable it and should not attempt to do so. +However, it is blocked by pci_pm_init() that runs the pm_runtime_forbid() +helper function. In addition to that, the runtime PM usage counter of +each PCI device is incremented by local_pci_probe() before executing the +probe callback provided by the device's driver. + +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 needs +to decrement the device's runtime PM usage counter in its probe callback +function. If it doesn't do that, the counter will always be different from +zero for the device and it will never be runtime-suspended. The simplest +way to do that is by calling pm_runtime_put_noidle(), but if the driver +wants to schedule an autosuspend right away, for example, it may call +pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() instead for this purpose. Generally, it +just needs to call a function that decrements the devices usage counter +from its probe routine to make runtime PM work for the device. + +It is important to remember that the driver's runtime_suspend() callback +may be executed right after the usage counter has been decremented, because +user space may already have caused the pm_runtime_allow() helper function +unblocking the runtime PM of the device to run via sysfs, so the driver must +be prepared to cope with that. + +The driver itself should not call pm_runtime_allow(), though. Instead, it +should let user space or some platform-specific code do that (user space can +do it via sysfs as stated above), but 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, even before the driver is loaded). + +When the driver's remove callback runs, it has to balance the decrementation +of the device's runtime PM usage counter at the probe time. For this reason, +if it has decremented the counter in its probe callback, it must run +pm_runtime_get_noresume() in its remove callback. [Since the core carries +out a runtime resume of the device and bumps up the device's usage counter +before running the driver's remove callback, the runtime PM of the device +is effectively disabled for the duration of the remove execution and all +runtime PM helper functions incrementing the device's usage counter are +then effectively equivalent to pm_runtime_get_noresume().] + +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.rst. + +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.rst. + + +4.

This translates to a +cpu_latency_qos_update_request() call. + +To remove the user mode request for a target value simply close the device +node. + + +2. PM QoS per-device latency and flags framework +================================================ + +For each device, there are three lists of PM QoS requests. Two of them are +maintained along with the aggregated targets of resume latency and active +state latency tolerance (in microseconds) and the third one is for PM QoS flags. +Values are updated in response to changes of the request list. + +The target values of resume latency and active state latency tolerance are +simply the minimum of the request values held in the parameter list elements. +The PM QoS flags aggregate value is a gather (bitwise OR) of all list elements' +values. One device PM QoS flag is defined currently: PM_QOS_FLAG_NO_POWER_OFF. + +Note: The aggregated target values are implemented in such a way that reading +the aggregated value does not require any locking mechanism. + + +From kernel mode the use of this interface is the following: + +int dev_pm_qos_add_request(device, handle, type, value): + Will insert an element into the list for that identified device with the + target value. Upon change to this list the new target is recomputed and any + registered notifiers are called only if the target value is now different. + Clients of dev_pm_qos need to save the handle for future use in other + dev_pm_qos API functions. + +int dev_pm_qos_update_request(handle, new_value): + Will update the list element pointed to by the handle with the new target + value and recompute the new aggregated target, calling the notification + trees if the target is changed. + +int dev_pm_qos_remove_request(handle): + Will remove the element. After removal it will update the aggregate target + and call the notification trees if the target was changed as a result of + removing the request. + +s32 dev_pm_qos_read_value(device, type): + Returns the aggregated value for a given device's constraints list. + +enum pm_qos_flags_status dev_pm_qos_flags(device, mask) + Check PM QoS flags of the given device against the given mask of flags. + The meaning of the return values is as follows: + + PM_QOS_FLAGS_ALL: + All flags from the mask are set + PM_QOS_FLAGS_SOME: + Some flags from the mask are set + PM_QOS_FLAGS_NONE: + No flags from the mask are set + PM_QOS_FLAGS_UNDEFINED: + The device's PM QoS structure has not been initialized + or the list of requests is empty. + +int dev_pm_qos_add_ancestor_request(dev, handle, type, value) + Add a PM QoS request for the first direct ancestor of the given device whose + power.ignore_children flag is unset (for DEV_PM_QOS_RESUME_LATENCY requests) + or whose power.set_latency_tolerance callback pointer is not NULL (for + DEV_PM_QOS_LATENCY_TOLERANCE requests). + +int dev_pm_qos_expose_latency_limit(device, value) + Add a request to the device's PM QoS list of resume latency constraints and + create a sysfs attribute pm_qos_resume_latency_us under the device's power + directory allowing user space to manipulate that request. + +void dev_pm_qos_hide_latency_limit(device) + Drop the request added by dev_pm_qos_expose_latency_limit() from the device's + PM QoS list of resume latency constraints and remove sysfs attribute + pm_qos_resume_latency_us from the device's power directory. + +int dev_pm_qos_expose_flags(device, value) + Add a request to the device's PM QoS list of flags and create sysfs attribute + pm_qos_no_power_off under the device's power directory allowing user space to + change the value of the PM_QOS_FLAG_NO_POWER_OFF flag. + +void dev_pm_qos_hide_flags(device) + Drop the request added by dev_pm_qos_expose_flags() from the device's PM QoS + list of flags and remove sysfs attribute pm_qos_no_power_off from the device's + power directory. + +Notification mechanisms: + +The per-device PM QoS framework has a per-device notification tree. + +int dev_pm_qos_add_notifier(device, notifier, type): + Adds a notification callback function for the device for a particular request + type. + + The callback is called when the aggregated value of the device constraints + list is changed. + +int dev_pm_qos_remove_notifier(device, notifier, type): + Removes the notification callback function for the device. + + +Active state latency tolerance +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +This device PM QoS type is used to support systems in which hardware may switch +to energy-saving operation modes on the fly. In those systems, if the operation +mode chosen by the hardware attempts to save energy in an overly aggressive way, +it may cause excess latencies to be visible to software, causing it to miss +certain protocol requirements or target frame or sample rates etc. + +If there is a latency tolerance control mechanism for a given device available +to software, the .set_latency_tolerance callback in that device's dev_pm_info +structure should be populated. The routine pointed to by it is should implement +whatever is necessary to transfer the effective requirement value to the +hardware. + +Whenever the effective latency tolerance changes for the device, its +.set_latency_tolerance() callback will be executed and the effective value will +be passed to it. If that value is negative, which means that the list of +latency tolerance requirements for the device is empty, the callback is expected +to switch the underlying hardware latency tolerance control mechanism to an +autonomous mode if available. If that value is PM_QOS_LATENCY_ANY, in turn, and +the hardware supports a special "no requirement" setting, the callback is +expected to use it. That allows software to prevent the hardware from +automatically updating the device's latency tolerance in response to its power +state changes (e.g. during transitions from D3cold to D0), which generally may +be done in the autonomous latency tolerance control mode. + +If .set_latency_tolerance() is present for the device, sysfs attribute +pm_qos_latency_tolerance_us will be present in the devivce's power directory. +Then, user space can use that attribute to specify its latency tolerance +requirement for the device, if any. Writing "any" to it means "no requirement, +but do not let the hardware control latency tolerance" and writing "auto" to it +allows the hardware to be switched to the autonomous mode if there are no other +requirements from the kernel side in the device's list. + +Kernel code can use the functions described above along with the +DEV_PM_QOS_LATENCY_TOLERANCE device PM QoS type to add, remove and update +latency tolerance requirements for devices. diff --git a/Documentation/power/power_supply_class.rst b/Documentation/power/power_supply_class.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..da8e275a1 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/power/power_supply_class.rst @@ -0,0 +1,288 @@ +======================== +Linux power supply class +======================== + +Synopsis +~~~~~~~~ +Power supply class used to represent battery, UPS, AC or DC power supply +properties to user-space. + +It defines core set of attributes, which should be applicable to (almost) +every power supply out there.

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_enable() 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_load(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 consumer's datasheet. e.g. most +datasheets have tables showing the maximum 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. Regulator Events +=================== + +Regulators can notify consumers of external events. Events could be received by +consumers under regulator stress or failure conditions. + +Consumers can register interest in regulator events by calling:: + + int regulator_register_notifier(struct regulator *regulator, + struct notifier_block *nb); + +Consumers can unregister interest by calling:: + + int regulator_unregister_notifier(struct regulator *regulator, + struct notifier_block *nb); + +Regulators use the kernel notifier framework to send event to their interested +consumers. + +7.

Introduction +=============== + +Support for runtime power management (runtime PM) of I/O devices is provided +at the power management core (PM core) level by means of: + +* The power management workqueue pm_wq in which bus types and device drivers can + put their PM-related work items. It is strongly recommended that pm_wq be + used for queuing all work items related to runtime PM, because this allows + them to be synchronized with system-wide power transitions (suspend to RAM, + hibernation and resume from system sleep states). pm_wq is declared in + include/linux/pm_runtime.h and defined in kernel/power/main.c. + +* A number of runtime PM fields in the 'power' member of 'struct device' (which + is of the type 'struct dev_pm_info', defined in include/linux/pm.h) that can + be used for synchronizing runtime PM operations with one another. + +* Three device runtime PM callbacks in 'struct dev_pm_ops' (defined in + include/linux/pm.h). + +* A set of helper functions defined in drivers/base/power/runtime.c that can be + used for carrying out runtime PM operations in such a way that the + synchronization between them is taken care of by the PM core. 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_can_wakeup() returns 'false' for the +device, then ->runtime_suspend() should return -EBUSY. On the other hand, if +device_can_wakeup() 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. If there is no idle callback, or if the callback returns +0, then the PM core will attempt to carry out a runtime suspend of the device, +also respecting devices configured for autosuspend. In essence this means a +call to pm_runtime_autosuspend() (do note that drivers needs to update the +device last busy mark, pm_runtime_mark_last_busy(), to control the delay under +this circumstance). To prevent this (for example, if the callback routine has +started a delayed suspend), the routine must return a non-zero value. Negative +error return codes are 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 functions 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(). + +Note, if the device may execute pm_runtime calls during the probe (such as +if it is registered with a subsystem that may call back in) then the +pm_runtime_get_sync() call paired with a pm_runtime_put() call will be +appropriate to ensure that the device is not put back to sleep during the +probe. This can happen with systems such as the network device layer. + +It may be desirable to suspend the device once ->probe() has finished. +Therefore the driver core uses the asynchronous pm_request_idle() to submit a +request to execute the subsystem-level idle callback for the device at that +time. A driver that makes use of the runtime autosuspend feature may want to +update the last busy mark before returning from ->probe(). + +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 it also allows more flexibility in the handling of devices during the +removal of their drivers. + +Drivers in ->remove() callback should undo the runtime PM changes done +in ->probe(). Usually this means calling pm_runtime_disable(), +pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend() etc. + +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. + +To this end, the PM core provides a mechanism allowing some coordination between +different levels of device hierarchy. Namely, if a system suspend .prepare() +callback returns a positive number for a device, that indicates to the PM core +that the device appears to be runtime-suspended and its state is fine, so it +may be left in runtime suspend provided that all of its descendants are also +left in runtime suspend. If that happens, the PM core will not execute any +system suspend and resume callbacks for all of those devices, except for the +.complete() callback, which is then entirely responsible for handling the device +as appropriate. This only applies to system suspend transitions that are not +related to hibernation (see Documentation/driver-api/pm/devices.rst for more +information). + +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 pm_runtime_get_noresume() is called for every device + right before executing the subsystem-level .prepare() callback for it and + pm_runtime_barrier() is called for every device right before executing the + subsystem-level .suspend() callback for it. In addition to that the PM core + 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 pm_runtime_enable() and pm_runtime_put() are called for + every device right after executing the subsystem-level .resume_early() + callback and right after executing the subsystem-level .complete() 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_suspend(struct device *dev);` + - invoke the ->runtime_suspend() callback provided by the driver of this + device and return its result, or return 0 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 0 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 are the defaults used by the PM core if a subsystem doesn't +provide its own callbacks for ->runtime_idle(), ->runtime_suspend(), +->runtime_resume(), ->suspend(), ->suspend_noirq(), ->resume(), +->resume_noirq(), ->freeze(), ->freeze_noirq(), ->thaw(), ->thaw_noirq(), +->poweroff(), ->poweroff_noirq(), ->restore(), ->restore_noirq() in the +subsystem-level dev_pm_ops structure. + +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. + +Note that, in some cases it may not be desirable for subsystems/drivers to call +pm_runtime_no_callbacks() for their devices. This could be because a subset of +the runtime PM callbacks needs to be implemented, a platform dependent PM +domain could get attached to the device or that the device is power managed +through a supplier device link. For these reasons and to avoid boilerplate code +in subsystems/drivers, the PM core allows runtime PM callbacks to be +unassigned. More precisely, if a callback pointer is NULL, the PM core will act +as though there was a callback and it returned 0. + +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, which means sometimes taking the autosuspend delay into +account (see pm_runtime_idle). + +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_next_request(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. If the function returns a nonzero +value then the delay has not yet expired and the callback should return +-EAGAIN. diff --git a/Documentation/power/s2ram.rst b/Documentation/power/s2ram.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..d739aa7c7 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/power/s2ram.rst @@ -0,0 +1,87 @@ +======================== +How to get s2ram working +======================== + +2006 Linus Torvalds +2006 Pavel Machek + +1) Check suspend.sf.net, program s2ram there has long whitelist of + "known ok" machines, along with tricks to use on each one. + +2) If that does not help, try reading tricks.txt and + video.txt.

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_loader/main.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 (cpuhp_tasks_frozen is set), + 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. Known problems +=================== + +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, the cpuhp_tasks_frozen variable will not + reflect the frozen state and the CPU hotplug callbacks which evaluate + that variable might execute the wrong code path. + +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/suspend-and-interrupts.rst b/Documentation/power/suspend-and-interrupts.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..dfbace2f4 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/power/suspend-and-interrupts.rst @@ -0,0 +1,137 @@ +==================================== +System Suspend and Device Interrupts +==================================== + +Copyright (C) 2014 Intel Corp. +Author: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com> + + +Suspending and Resuming Device IRQs +----------------------------------- + +Device interrupt request lines (IRQs) are generally disabled during system +suspend after the "late" phase of suspending devices (that is, after all of the +->prepare, ->suspend and ->suspend_late callbacks have been executed for all +devices). That is done by suspend_device_irqs(). + +The rationale for doing so is that after the "late" phase of device suspend +there is no legitimate reason why any interrupts from suspended devices should +trigger and if any devices have not been suspended properly yet, it is better to +block interrupts from them anyway. Also, in the past we had problems with +interrupt handlers for shared IRQs that device drivers implementing them were +not prepared for interrupts triggering after their devices had been suspended. +In some cases they would attempt to access, for example, memory address spaces +of suspended devices and cause unpredictable behavior to ensue as a result. +Unfortunately, such problems are very difficult to debug and the introduction +of suspend_device_irqs(), along with the "noirq" phase of device suspend and +resume, was the only practical way to mitigate them. + +Device IRQs are re-enabled during system resume, right before the "early" phase +of resuming devices (that is, before starting to execute ->resume_early +callbacks for devices). The function doing that is resume_device_irqs(). + + +The IRQF_NO_SUSPEND Flag +------------------------ + +There are interrupts that can legitimately trigger during the entire system +suspend-resume cycle, including the "noirq" phases of suspending and resuming +devices as well as during the time when nonboot CPUs are taken offline and +brought back online. That applies to timer interrupts in the first place, +but also to IPIs and to some other special-purpose interrupts. + +The IRQF_NO_SUSPEND flag is used to indicate that to the IRQ subsystem when +requesting a special-purpose interrupt. It causes suspend_device_irqs() to +leave the corresponding IRQ enabled so as to allow the interrupt to work as +expected during the suspend-resume cycle, but does not guarantee that the +interrupt will wake the system from a suspended state -- for such cases it is +necessary to use enable_irq_wake(). + +Note that the IRQF_NO_SUSPEND flag affects the entire IRQ and not just one +user of it. Thus, if the IRQ is shared, all of the interrupt handlers installed +for it will be executed as usual after suspend_device_irqs(), even if the +IRQF_NO_SUSPEND flag was not passed to request_irq() (or equivalent) by some of +the IRQ's users. For this reason, using IRQF_NO_SUSPEND and IRQF_SHARED at the +same time should be avoided. + + +System Wakeup Interrupts, enable_irq_wake() and disable_irq_wake() +------------------------------------------------------------------ + +System wakeup interrupts generally need to be configured to wake up the system +from sleep states, especially if they are used for different purposes (e.g. as +I/O interrupts) in the working state. + +That may involve turning on a special signal handling logic within the platform +(such as an SoC) so that signals from a given line are routed in a different way +during system sleep so as to trigger a system wakeup when needed. For example, +the platform may include a dedicated interrupt controller used specifically for +handling system wakeup events. Then, if a given interrupt line is supposed to +wake up the system from sleep states, the corresponding input of that interrupt +controller needs to be enabled to receive signals from the line in question. +After wakeup, it generally is better to disable that input to prevent the +dedicated controller from triggering interrupts unnecessarily. + +The IRQ subsystem provides two helper functions to be used by device drivers for +those purposes. Namely, enable_irq_wake() turns on the platform's logic for +handling the given IRQ as a system wakeup interrupt line and disable_irq_wake() +turns that logic off. + +Calling enable_irq_wake() causes suspend_device_irqs() to treat the given IRQ +in a special way. Namely, the IRQ remains enabled, by on the first interrupt +it will be disabled, marked as pending and "suspended" so that it will be +re-enabled by resume_device_irqs() during the subsequent system resume. Also +the PM core is notified about the event which causes the system suspend in +progress to be aborted (that doesn't have to happen immediately, but at one +of the points where the suspend thread looks for pending wakeup events). + +This way every interrupt from a wakeup interrupt source will either cause the +system suspend currently in progress to be aborted or wake up the system if +already suspended. However, after suspend_device_irqs() interrupt handlers are +not executed for system wakeup IRQs. They are only executed for IRQF_NO_SUSPEND +IRQs at that time, but those IRQs should not be configured for system wakeup +using enable_irq_wake(). + + +Interrupts and Suspend-to-Idle +------------------------------ + +Suspend-to-idle (also known as the "freeze" sleep state) is a relatively new +system sleep state that works by idling all of the processors and waiting for +interrupts right after the "noirq" phase of suspending devices. + +Of course, this means that all of the interrupts with the IRQF_NO_SUSPEND flag +set will bring CPUs out of idle while in that state, but they will not cause the +IRQ subsystem to trigger a system wakeup. + +System wakeup interrupts, in turn, will trigger wakeup from suspend-to-idle in +analogy with what they do in the full system suspend case. The only difference +is that the wakeup from suspend-to-idle is signaled using the usual working +state interrupt delivery mechanisms and doesn't require the platform to use +any special interrupt handling logic for it to work. + + +IRQF_NO_SUSPEND and enable_irq_wake() +------------------------------------- + +There are very few valid reasons to use both enable_irq_wake() and the +IRQF_NO_SUSPEND flag on the same IRQ, and it is never valid to use both for the +same device. + +First of all, if the IRQ is not shared, the rules for handling IRQF_NO_SUSPEND +interrupts (interrupt handlers are invoked after suspend_device_irqs()) are +directly at odds with the rules for handling system wakeup interrupts (interrupt +handlers are not invoked after suspend_device_irqs()). + +Second, both enable_irq_wake() and IRQF_NO_SUSPEND apply to entire IRQs and not +to individual interrupt handlers, so sharing an IRQ between a system wakeup +interrupt source and an IRQF_NO_SUSPEND interrupt source does not generally +make sense. + +In rare cases an IRQ can be shared between a wakeup device driver and an +IRQF_NO_SUSPEND user. In order for this to be safe, the wakeup device driver +must be able to discern spurious IRQs from genuine wakeup events (signalling +the latter to the core with pm_system_wakeup()), must use enable_irq_wake() to +ensure that the IRQ will function as a wakeup source, and must request the IRQ +with IRQF_COND_SUSPEND to tell the core that it meets these requirements. If +these requirements are not met, it is not valid to use IRQF_COND_SUSPEND. diff --git a/Documentation/power/swsusp-and-swap-files.rst b/Documentation/power/swsusp-and-swap-files.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..a33a2919d --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/power/swsusp-and-swap-files.rst @@ -0,0 +1,63 @@ +=============================================== +Using swap files with software suspend (swsusp) +=============================================== + + (C) 2006 Rafael J.

If not, visit the following web page: +http://www.saout.de/misc/dm-crypt/ +You have read Documentation/power/swsusp.rst and understand it. +You did read Documentation/admin-guide/initrd.rst and know how an initrd works. +You know how to create or how to modify an initrd. + +Now your system is properly set up, your disk is encrypted except for +the swap device(s) and the boot partition which may contain a mini +system for crypto setup and/or rescue purposes. You may even have +an initrd that does your current crypto setup already. + +At this point you want to encrypt your swap, too. Still you want to +be able to suspend using swsusp. This, however, means that you +have to be able to either enter a passphrase or that you read +the key(s) from an external device like a pcmcia flash disk +or an usb stick prior to resume. So you need an initrd, that sets +up dm-crypt and then asks swsusp to resume from the encrypted +swap device. + +The most important thing is that you set up dm-crypt in such +a way that the swap device you suspend to/resume from has +always the same major/minor within the initrd as well as +within your running system. The easiest way to achieve this is +to always set up this swap device first with dmsetup, so that +it will always look like the following:: + + brw------- 1 root root 254, 0 Jul 28 13:37 /dev/mapper/swap0 + +Now set up your kernel to use /dev/mapper/swap0 as the default +resume partition, so your kernel .config contains:: + + CONFIG_PM_STD_PARTITION="/dev/mapper/swap0" + +Prepare your boot loader to use the initrd you will create or +modify.

Lets assume +you create an initrd that reads the required dm-crypt setup +from a pcmcia flash disk card. The card is formatted with an ext2 +fs which resides on /dev/hde1 when the card is inserted.

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 /proc/[0-9]*/maps | grep / | sed 's:.* /:/:' | sort -u | while read file + do + test -f "$file" && cat "$file" > /dev/null + done + + after resume. swapoff -a; swapon -a may also be useful. + +Q: + What happens to devices during swsusp?

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/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 $RET + +Q: + Is this true that if I have a mounted filesystem on a USB device and + I suspend to disk, I can lose data unless the filesystem has been mounted + with "sync"? + +A: + That's right ... if you disconnect that device, you may lose data. + In fact, even with "-o sync" you can lose data if your programs have + information in buffers they haven't written out to a disk you disconnect, + or if you disconnect before the device finished saving data you wrote. + + Software suspend normally powers down USB controllers, which is equivalent + to disconnecting all USB devices attached to your system. + + Your system might well support low-power modes for its USB controllers + while the system is asleep, maintaining the connection, using true sleep + modes like "suspend-to-RAM" or "standby". (Don't write "disk" to the + /sys/power/state file; write "standby" or "mem".) We've not seen any + hardware that can use these modes through software suspend, although in + theory some systems might support "platform" modes that won't break the + USB connections. + + Remember that it's always a bad idea to unplug a disk drive containing a + mounted filesystem. That's true even when your system is asleep! The + safest thing is to unmount all filesystems on removable media (such USB, + Firewire, CompactFlash, MMC, external SATA, or even IDE hotplug bays) + before suspending; then remount them after resuming. + + There is a work-around for this problem. For more information, see + Documentation/driver-api/usb/persist.rst. + +Q: + Can I suspend-to-disk using a swap partition under LVM? + +A: + Yes and No. You can suspend successfully, but the kernel will not be able + to resume on its own. You need an initramfs that can recognize the resume + situation, activate the logical volume containing the swap volume (but not + touch any filesystems!), and eventually call:: + + echo -n "$major:$minor" > /sys/power/resume + + where $major and $minor are the respective major and minor device numbers of + the swap volume. + + uswsusp works with LVM, too. See http://suspend.sourceforge.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.rst b/Documentation/power/tricks.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..ca787f142 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/power/tricks.rst @@ -0,0 +1,29 @@ +================ +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.

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.rst b/Documentation/power/video.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..337a2ba9f --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/power/video.rst @@ -0,0 +1,213 @@ +=========================== +Video issues with S3 resume +=========================== + +2003-2006, Pavel Machek + +During S3 resume, hardware needs to be reinitialized. For most +devices, this is easy, and kernel driver knows how to do +it. Unfortunately there's one exception: video card. Those are usually +initialized by BIOS, and kernel does not have enough information to +boot video card. (Kernel usually does not even contain video card +driver -- vesafb and vgacon are widely used). + +This is not problem for swsusp, because during swsusp resume, BIOS is +run normally so video card is normally initialized. It should not be +problem for S1 standby, because hardware should retain its state over +that. + +We either have to run video BIOS during early resume, or interpret it +using vbetool later, or maybe nothing is necessary on particular +system because video state is preserved. Unfortunately different +methods work on different systems, and no known method suits all of +them. + +Userland application called s2ram has been developed; it contains long +whitelist of systems, and automatically selects working method for a +given system. It can be downloaded from CVS at +www.sf.net/projects/suspend . If you get a system that is not in the +whitelist, please try to find a working solution, and submit whitelist +entry so that work does not need to be repeated. + +Currently, VBE_SAVE method (6 below) works on most +systems. Unfortunately, vbetool only runs after userland is resumed, +so it makes debugging of early resume problems +hard/impossible. Methods that do not rely on userland are preferable. + +Details +~~~~~~~ + +There are a few types of systems where video works after S3 resume: + +(1) systems where video state is preserved over S3. + +(2) systems where it is possible to call the video BIOS during S3 + resume. Unfortunately, it is not correct to call the video BIOS at + that point, but it happens to work on some machines. Use + acpi_sleep=s3_bios. + +(3) systems that initialize video card into vga text mode and where + the BIOS works well enough to be able to set video mode. Use + acpi_sleep=s3_mode on these. + +(4) on some systems s3_bios kicks video into text mode, and + acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode is needed. + +(5) radeon systems, where X can soft-boot your video card. You'll need + a new enough X, and a plain text console (no vesafb or radeonfb). See + http://www.doesi.gmxhome.de/linux/tm800s3/s3.html for more information. + Alternatively, you should use vbetool (6) instead. + +(6) other radeon systems, where vbetool is enough to bring system back + to life. It needs text console to be working. Do vbetool vbestate + save > /tmp/delme; echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep; vbetool post; vbetool + vbestate restore < /tmp/delme; setfont <whatever>, and your video + should work. + +(7) on some systems, it is possible to boot most of kernel, and then + POSTing bios works. Ole Rohne has patch to do just that at + http://dev.gentoo.org/~marineam/patch-radeonfb-2.6.11-rc2-mm2. + +(8) on some systems, you can use the video_post utility and or + do echo 3 > /sys/power/state && /usr/sbin/video_post - which will + initialize the display in console mode. If you are in X, you can switch + to a virtual terminal and back to X using CTRL+ALT+F1 - CTRL+ALT+F7 to get + the display working in graphical mode again. + +Now, if you pass acpi_sleep=something, and it does not work with your +bios, you'll get a hard crash during resume. Be careful. Also it is +safest to do your experiments with plain old VGA console. The vesafb +and radeonfb (etc) drivers have a tendency to crash the machine during +resume. + +You may have a system where none of above works. At that point you +either invent another ugly hack that works, or write proper driver for +your video card (good luck getting docs :-(). Maybe suspending from X +(proper X, knowing your hardware, not XF68_FBcon) might have better +chance of working. + +Table of known working notebooks: + + +=============================== =============================================== +Model hack (or "how to do it") +=============================== =============================================== +Acer Aspire 1406LC ole's late BIOS init (7), turn off DRI +Acer TM 230 s3_bios (2) +Acer TM 242FX vbetool (6) +Acer TM C110 video_post (8) +Acer TM C300 vga=normal (only suspend on console, not in X), + vbetool (6) or video_post (8) +Acer TM 4052LCi s3_bios (2) +Acer TM 636Lci s3_bios,s3_mode (4) +Acer TM 650 (Radeon M7) vga=normal plus boot-radeon (5) gets text + console back +Acer TM 660 ???
