Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!

For example, PCI drivers implement suspend() and +resume() methods in struct pci_driver. The PCI core is simply +responsible for translating the pointers to PCI-specific ones and +calling the low-level driver. + +This is done to a) ease transition to the new power management methods +and leverage the existing PM code in various bus drivers; b) allow +buses to implement generic and default PM routines for devices, and c) +make the flow of execution obvious to the reader. + + +System Power Management + +When the system enters a low-power state, the device tree is walked in +a depth-first fashion to transition each device into a low-power +state. The ordering of the device tree is guaranteed by the order in +which devices get registered - children are never registered before +their ancestors, and devices are placed at the back of the list when +registered. By walking the list in reverse order, we are guaranteed to +suspend devices in the proper order. + +Devices are suspended once with interrupts enabled. Drivers are +expected to stop I/O transactions, save device state, and place the +device into a low-power state. Drivers may sleep, allocate memory, +etc. at will. + +Some devices are broken and will inevitably have problems powering +down or disabling themselves with interrupts enabled. For these +special cases, they may return -EAGAIN. This will put the device on a +list to be taken care of later. When interrupts are disabled, before +we enter the low-power state, their drivers are called again to put +their device to sleep. + +On resume, the devices that returned -EAGAIN will be called to power +themselves back on with interrupts disabled. Once interrupts have been +re-enabled, the rest of the drivers will be called to resume their +devices. On resume, a driver is responsible for powering back on each +device, restoring state, and re-enabling I/O transactions for that +device. + +System devices follow a slightly different API, which can be found in + + include/linux/sysdev.h + drivers/base/sys.c + +System devices will only be suspended with interrupts disabled, and +after all other devices have been suspended. On resume, they will be +resumed before any other devices, and also with interrupts disabled. + + +Runtime Power Management + +Many devices are able to dynamically power down while the system is +still running. This feature is useful for devices that are not being +used, and can offer significant power savings on a running system. + +In each device's directory, there is a 'power' directory, which +contains at least a 'state' file. Reading from this file displays what +power state the device is currently in. Writing to this file initiates +a transition to the specified power state, which must be a decimal in +the range 1-3, inclusive; or 0 for 'On'. + +The PM core will call the ->suspend() method in the bus_type object +that the device belongs to if the specified state is not 0, or +->resume() if it is. + +Nothing will happen if the specified state is the same state the +device is currently in. + +If the device is already in a low-power state, and the specified state +is another, but different, low-power state, the ->resume() method will +first be called to power the device back on, then ->suspend() will be +called again with the new state. + +The driver is responsible for saving the working state of the device +and putting it into the low-power state specified. If this was +successful, it returns 0, and the device's power_state field is +updated. + +The driver must take care to know whether or not it is able to +properly resume the device, including all step of reinitialization +necessary. (This is the hardest part, and the one most protected by +NDA'd documents). + +The driver must also take care not to suspend a device that is +currently in use. It is their responsibility to provide their own +exclusion mechanisms. + +The runtime power transition happens with interrupts enabled. If a +device cannot support being powered down with interrupts, it may +return -EAGAIN (as it would during a system power management +transition), but it will _not_ be called again, and the transaction +will fail. + +There is currently no way to know what states a device or driver +supports a priori. This will change in the future. + +pm_message_t meaning + +pm_message_t has two fields. event ("major"), and flags. If driver +does not know event code, it aborts the request, returning error. Some +drivers may need to deal with special cases based on the actual type +of suspend operation being done at the system level.

Overview +2. How the PCI Subsystem Does Power Management +3. PCI Utility Functions +4. PCI Device Drivers +5. Resources + +1. Overview +~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The PCI Power Management Specification was introduced between the PCI 2.1 and +PCI 2.2 Specifications. It a standard interface for controlling various +power management operations. + +Implementation of the PCI PM Spec is optional, as are several sub-components of +it. If a device supports the PCI PM Spec, the device will have an 8 byte +capability field in its PCI configuration space. This field is used to describe +and control the standard PCI power management features. + +The PCI PM spec defines 4 operating states for devices (D0 - D3) and for buses +(B0 - B3). The higher the number, the less power the device consumes. However, +the higher the number, the longer the latency is for the device to return to +an operational state (D0). + +There are actually two D3 states. When someone talks about D3, they usually +mean D3hot, which corresponds to an ACPI D2 state (power is reduced, the +device may lose some context). But they may also mean D3cold, which is an +ACPI D3 state (power is fully off, all state was discarded); or both. + +Bus power management is not covered in this version of this document. + +Note that all PCI devices support D0 and D3cold by default, regardless of +whether or not they implement any of the PCI PM spec. + +The possible state transitions that a device can undergo are: + ++---------------------------+ +| Current State | New State | ++---------------------------+ +| D0 | D1, D2, D3| ++---------------------------+ +| D1 | D2, D3 | ++---------------------------+ +| D2 | D3 | ++---------------------------+ +| D1, D2, D3 | D0 | ++---------------------------+ + +Note that when the system is entering a global suspend state, all devices will +be placed into D3 and when resuming, all devices will be placed into D0. +However, when the system is running, other state transitions are possible. + +2. How The PCI Subsystem Handles Power Management +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The PCI suspend/resume functionality is accessed indirectly via the Power +Management subsystem. At boot, the PCI driver registers a power management +callback with that layer. Upon entering a suspend state, the PM layer iterates +through all of its registered callbacks. This currently takes place only during +APM state transitions. + +Upon going to sleep, the PCI subsystem walks its device tree twice. Both times, +it does a depth first walk of the device tree. The first walk saves each of the +device's state and checks for devices that will prevent the system from entering +a global power state. The next walk then places the devices in a low power +state. + +The first walk allows a graceful recovery in the event of a failure, since none +of the devices have actually been powered down. + +In both walks, in particular the second, all children of a bridge are touched +before the actual bridge itself. This allows the bridge to retain power while +its children are being accessed. + +Upon resuming from sleep, just the opposite must be true: all bridges must be +powered on and restored before their children are powered on. This is easily +accomplished with a breadth-first walk of the PCI device tree. + + +3. PCI Utility Functions +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +These are helper functions designed to be called by individual device drivers. +Assuming that a device behaves as advertised, these should be applicable in most +cases. However, results may vary. + +Note that these functions are never implicitly called for the driver. The driver +is always responsible for deciding when and if to call these. + + +pci_save_state +-------------- + +Usage: + pci_save_state(dev, buffer); + +Description: + Save first 64 bytes of PCI config space. Buffer must be allocated by + caller. + + +pci_restore_state +----------------- + +Usage: + pci_restore_state(dev, buffer); + +Description: + Restore previously saved config space. (First 64 bytes only); + + If buffer is NULL, then restore what information we know about the + device from bootup: BARs and interrupt line. + + +pci_set_power_state +------------------- + +Usage: + pci_set_power_state(dev, state); + +Description: + Transition device to low power state using PCI PM Capabilities + registers. + + Will fail under one of the following conditions: + - If state is less than current state, but not D0 (illegal transition) + - Device doesn't support PM Capabilities + - Device does not support requested state + + +pci_enable_wake +--------------- + +Usage: + pci_enable_wake(dev, state, enable); + +Description: + Enable device to generate PME# during low power state using PCI PM + Capabilities. + + Checks whether if device supports generating PME# from requested state + and fail if it does not, unless enable == 0 (request is to disable wake + events, which is implicit if it doesn't even support it in the first + place). + + Note that the PMC Register in the device's PM Capabilties has a bitmask + of the states it supports generating PME# from. D3hot is bit 3 and + D3cold is bit 4. So, while a value of 4 as the state may not seem + semantically correct, it is. + + +4. PCI Device Drivers +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +These functions are intended for use by individual drivers, and are defined in +struct pci_driver: + + int (*save_state) (struct pci_dev *dev, u32 state); + int (*suspend) (struct pci_dev *dev, u32 state); + int (*resume) (struct pci_dev *dev); + int (*enable_wake) (struct pci_dev *dev, u32 state, int enable); + + +save_state +---------- + +Usage: + +if (dev->driver && dev->driver->save_state) + dev->driver->save_state(dev,state); + +The driver should use this callback to save device state. It should take into +account the current state of the device and the requested state in order to +avoid any unnecessary operations. + +For example, a video card that supports all 4 states (D0-D3), all controller +context is preserved when entering D1, but the screen is placed into a low power +state (blanked). + +The driver can also interpret this function as a notification that it may be +entering a sleep state in the near future. If it knows that the device cannot +enter the requested state, either because of lack of support for it, or because +the device is middle of some critical operation, then it should fail. + +This function should not be used to set any state in the device or the driver +because the device may not actually enter the sleep state (e.g. another driver +later causes causes a global state transition to fail). + +Note that in intermediate low power states, a device's I/O and memory spaces may +be disabled and may not be available in subsequent transitions to lower power +states. + + +suspend +------- + +Usage: + +if (dev->driver && dev->driver->suspend) + dev->driver->suspend(dev,state); + +A driver uses this function to actually transition the device into a low power +state. This should include disabling I/O, IRQs, and bus-mastering, as well as +physically transitioning the device to a lower power state; it may also include +calls to pci_enable_wake(). + +Bus mastering may be disabled by doing: + +pci_disable_device(dev); + +For devices that support the PCI PM Spec, this may be used to set the device's +power state to match the suspend() parameter: + +pci_set_power_state(dev,state); + +The driver is also responsible for disabling any other device-specific features +(e.g blanking screen, turning off on-card memory, etc). + +The driver should be sure to track the current state of the device, as it may +obviate the need for some operations. + +The driver should update the current_state field in its pci_dev structure in +this function, except for PM-capable devices when pci_set_power_state is used. + +resume +------ + +Usage: + +if (dev->driver && dev->driver->suspend) + dev->driver->resume(dev) + +The resume callback may be called from any power state, and is always meant to +transition the device to the D0 state. + +The driver is responsible for reenabling any features of the device that had +been disabled during previous suspend calls, such as IRQs and bus mastering, +as well as calling pci_restore_state(). + +If the device is currently in D3, it may need to be reinitialized in resume(). + + * Some types of devices, like bus controllers, will preserve context in D3hot + (using Vcc power). Their drivers will often want to avoid re-initializing + them after re-entering D0 (perhaps to avoid resetting downstream devices). + + * Other kinds of devices in D3hot will discard device context as part of a + soft reset when re-entering the D0 state. + + * Devices resuming from D3cold always go through a power-on reset. Some + device context can also be preserved using Vaux power. + + * Some systems hide D3cold resume paths from drivers. For example, on PCs + the resume path for suspend-to-disk often runs BIOS powerup code, which + will sometimes re-initialize the device. + +To handle resets during D3 to D0 transitions, it may be convenient to share +device initialization code between probe() and resume(). Device parameters +can also be saved before the driver suspends into D3, avoiding re-probe. + +If the device supports the PCI PM Spec, it can use this to physically transition +the device to D0: + +pci_set_power_state(dev,0); + +Note that if the entire system is transitioning out of a global sleep state, all +devices will be placed in the D0 state, so this is not necessary. However, in +the event that the device is placed in the D3 state during normal operation, +this call is necessary. It is impossible to determine which of the two events is +taking place in the driver, so it is always a good idea to make that call. + +The driver should take note of the state that it is resuming from in order to +ensure correct (and speedy) operation. + +The driver should update the current_state field in its pci_dev structure in +this function, except for PM-capable devices when pci_set_power_state is used. + + +enable_wake +----------- + +Usage: + +if (dev->driver && dev->driver->enable_wake) + dev->driver->enable_wake(dev,state,enable); + +This callback is generally only relevant for devices that support the PCI PM +spec and have the ability to generate a PME# (Power Management Event Signal) +to wake the system up. (However, it is possible that a device may support +some non-standard way of generating a wake event on sleep.) + +Bits 15:11 of the PMC (Power Mgmt Capabilities) Register in a device's +PM Capabilties describe what power states the device supports generating a +wake event from: + ++------------------+ +| Bit | State | ++------------------+ +| 11 | D0 | +| 12 | D1 | +| 13 | D2 | +| 14 | D3hot | +| 15 | D3cold | ++------------------+ + +A device can use this to enable wake events: + + pci_enable_wake(dev,state,enable); + +Note that to enable PME# from D3cold, a value of 4 should be passed to +pci_enable_wake (since it uses an index into a bitmask).

All devices are +suspended and put into D3. In many cases, all peripheral buses lose +power when entering STR, so devices must be able to handle the +transition back to the On state. + +For at least ACPI, STR requires some minimal boot-strapping code to +resume the system from STR. This may be true on other platforms. + +A transition from Suspend-to-RAM to the On state should take about +3-5 seconds. + + +State: Suspend-to-disk +ACPI State: S4 +String: "disk" + +This state offers the greatest power savings, and can be used even in +the absence of low-level platform support for power management. This +state operates similarly to Suspend-to-RAM, but includes a final step +of writing memory contents to disk. On resume, this is read and memory +is restored to its pre-suspend state. + +STD can be handled by the firmware or the kernel. If it is handled by +the firmware, it usually requires a dedicated partition that must be +setup via another operating system for it to use. Despite the +inconvenience, this method requires minimal work by the kernel, since +the firmware will also handle restoring memory contents on resume. + +If the kernel is responsible for persistantly saving state, a mechanism +called 'swsusp' (Swap Suspend) is used to write memory contents to +free swap space. swsusp has some restrictive requirements, but should +work in most cases. Some, albeit outdated, documentation can be found +in Documentation/power/swsusp.txt. + +Once memory state is written to disk, the system may either enter a +low-power state (like ACPI S4), or it may simply power down. Powering +down offers greater savings, and allows this mechanism to work on any +system. However, entering a real low-power state allows the user to +trigger wake up events (e.g. pressing a key or opening a laptop lid). + +A transition from Suspend-to-Disk to the On state should take about 30 +seconds, though it's typically a bit more with the current +implementation. diff --git a/Documentation/power/swsusp.txt b/Documentation/power/swsusp.txt new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..c7c3459fde43 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/power/swsusp.txt @@ -0,0 +1,235 @@ +From kernel/suspend.c: + + * BIG FAT WARNING ********************************************************* + * + * If you have unsupported (*) devices using DMA... + * ...say goodbye to your data. + * + * If you touch anything on disk between suspend and resume... + * ...kiss your data goodbye. + * + * If your disk driver does not support suspend...

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. + +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. + +Ethernet card in your server died. You want to replace it. Your +server is not hotplug capable. What do you do? Suspend to disk, +replace ethernet card, resume. If you are fast your users will not +even see broken connections. + + +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: My machine doesn't work with ACPI. How can I use swsusp than ? + +A: Do a reboot() syscall with right parameters.

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: A kernel thread must voluntarily freeze itself (call 'refrigerator'). +I found some kernel threads that don't do it, and they don't freeze +so the system can't sleep. Is this a known behavior? + +A: All such kernel threads need to be fixed, one by one. Select the +place where the thread is safe to be frozen (no kernel semaphores +should be held at that point and it must be safe to sleep there), and +add: + + if (current->flags & PF_FREEZE) + refrigerator(PF_FREEZE); + +If the thread is needed for writing the image to storage, you should +instead set the PF_NOFREEZE process flag when creating the thread. + + +Q: What is the difference between between "platform", "shutdown" and +"firmware" in /sys/power/disk? + +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" + +firmware: tell bios to save state itself [needs BIOS-specific suspend + partition, and has very little to do with swsusp] + +"platform" is actually right thing to do, but "shutdown" is most +reliable. + +Q: I do not understand why you have such strong objections to idea of +selective suspend. + +A: Do selective suspend during runtime power managment, that's okay.

(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 unneccessarily slow. If you want USB 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 heavilly, leading to very bad interactivity. + +A: Try running + +cat `cat /proc/[0-9]*/maps | grep / | sed 's:.* /:/:' | sort -u` > /dev/null + +after resume. swapoff -a; swapon -a may also be usefull. diff --git a/Documentation/power/tricks.txt b/Documentation/power/tricks.txt new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..c6d58d3da133 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/power/tricks.txt @@ -0,0 +1,27 @@ + swsusp/S3 tricks + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +Pavel Machek <pavel@suse.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.
