docs: power: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst
Convert the PM documents to ReST, in order to allow them to build with Sphinx. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and indentation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

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).

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

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.

3. The third reason is to prevent user space processes and some kernel threads

+Power supply class has predefined set of attributes, this eliminates code
+duplication across drivers. Power supply class insist on reusing its
+predefined attributes *and* their units.
+
+So, userspace gets predictable set of attributes and their units for any
+kind of power supply, and can process/present them to a user in consistent
+manner. Results for different power supplies and machines are also directly
+comparable.
+
+See drivers/power/supply/ds2760_battery.c and drivers/power/supply/pda_power.c
+for the example how to declare and handle attributes.

+
+ All voltages, currents, charges, energies, time and temperatures in µV,
+ µA, µAh, µWh, seconds and tenths of degree Celsius unless otherwise
+ stated. It's driver's job to convert its raw values to units in which

+
+Postfixes:
+
+_AVG
+ *hardware* averaged value, use it if your hardware is really able to
+ report averaged values.
+_NOW
+ momentary/instantaneous values.
+
+STATUS
+ this attribute represents operating status (charging, full,
+ discharging (i.e. powering a load), etc.). This corresponds to
+ `BATTERY_STATUS_*` values, as defined in battery.h.
+
+CHARGE_TYPE
+ batteries can typically charge at different rates.
+ This defines trickle and fast charges. For batteries that
+ are already charged or discharging, 'n/a' can be displayed (or
+ 'unknown', if the status is not known).
+
+AUTHENTIC
+ indicates the power supply (battery or charger) connected
+ to the platform is authentic(1) or non authentic(0).
+
+HEALTH
+ represents health of the battery, values corresponds to
+ POWER_SUPPLY_HEALTH_*, defined in battery.h.
+
+VOLTAGE_OCV
+ open circuit voltage of the battery.
+
+VOLTAGE_MAX_DESIGN, VOLTAGE_MIN_DESIGN
+ design values for maximal and minimal power supply voltages.
+ Maximal/minimal means values of voltages when battery considered
+ "full"/"empty" at normal conditions. Yes, there is no direct relation
+ between voltage and battery capacity, but some dumb
+ batteries use voltage for very approximated calculation of capacity.
+ Battery driver also can use this attribute just to inform userspace
+ about maximal and minimal voltage thresholds of a given battery.
+
+VOLTAGE_MAX, VOLTAGE_MIN
+ same as _DESIGN voltage values except that these ones should be used
+ if hardware could only guess (measure and retain) the thresholds of a
+ given power supply.
+
+VOLTAGE_BOOT
+ Reports the voltage measured during boot
+
+CURRENT_BOOT
+ Reports the current measured during boot
+
+CHARGE_FULL_DESIGN, CHARGE_EMPTY_DESIGN
+ design charge values, when battery considered full/empty.
+
+ENERGY_FULL_DESIGN, ENERGY_EMPTY_DESIGN
+ same as above but for energy.
+
+CHARGE_FULL, CHARGE_EMPTY
+ These attributes means "last remembered value of charge when battery
+ became full/empty". It also could mean "value of charge when battery
+ considered full/empty at given conditions (temperature, age)".
+ I.e. these attributes represents real thresholds, not design values.
+
+ENERGY_FULL, ENERGY_EMPTY
+ same as above but for energy.
+
+CHARGE_COUNTER
+ the current charge counter (in µAh). This could easily
+ be negative; there is no empty or full value. It is only useful for
+ relative, time-based measurements.
+
+PRECHARGE_CURRENT
+ the maximum charge current during precharge phase of charge cycle
+ (typically 20% of battery capacity).
+
+CHARGE_TERM_CURRENT
+ Charge termination current. The charge cycle terminates when battery
+ voltage is above recharge threshold, and charge current is below
+ this setting (typically 10% of battery capacity).
+
+CONSTANT_CHARGE_CURRENT
+ constant charge current programmed by charger.
+
+
+CONSTANT_CHARGE_CURRENT_MAX
+ maximum charge current supported by the power supply object.
+
+CONSTANT_CHARGE_VOLTAGE
+ constant charge voltage programmed by charger.
+CONSTANT_CHARGE_VOLTAGE_MAX
+ maximum charge voltage supported by the power supply object.
+
+INPUT_CURRENT_LIMIT
+ input current limit programmed by charger. Indicates
+ the current drawn from a charging source.
+
+CHARGE_CONTROL_LIMIT
+ current charge control limit setting
+CHARGE_CONTROL_LIMIT_MAX

+ capacity level. This corresponds to POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY_LEVEL_*.
+
+TEMP
+ temperature of the power supply.
+TEMP_ALERT_MIN
+ minimum battery temperature alert.
+TEMP_ALERT_MAX
+ maximum battery temperature alert.
+TEMP_AMBIENT
+ ambient temperature.
+TEMP_AMBIENT_ALERT_MIN
+ minimum ambient temperature alert.
+TEMP_AMBIENT_ALERT_MAX
+ maximum ambient temperature alert.
+TEMP_MIN
+ minimum operatable temperature
+TEMP_MAX
+ maximum operatable temperature
+
+TIME_TO_EMPTY
+ seconds left for battery to be considered empty
+ (i.e. while battery powers a load)
+TIME_TO_FULL
+ seconds left for battery to be considered full
+ (i.e. while battery is charging)
+
+
+Battery <-> external power supply interaction
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Often power supplies are acting as supplies and supplicants at the same
+time. Batteries are good example. So, batteries usually care if they're
+externally powered or not.
+
+For that case, power supply class implements notification mechanism for
+batteries.
+
+External power supply (AC) lists supplicants (batteries) names in
+"supplied_to" struct member, and each power_supply_changed() call
+issued by external power supply will notify supplicants via
+external_power_changed callback.
+
+
+Devicetree battery characteristics
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Drivers should call power_supply_get_battery_info() to obtain battery
+characteristics from a devicetree battery node, defined in
+Documentation/devicetree/bindings/power/supply/battery.txt. This is
+implemented in drivers/power/supply/bq27xxx_battery.c.
+
+Properties in struct power_supply_battery_info and their counterparts in the
+battery node have names corresponding to elements in enum power_supply_property,
+for naming consistency between sysfs attributes and battery node properties.
+
+
+QA
+~~
+
+Q:
+ Where is POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_XYZ attribute?
+A:
+ If you cannot find attribute suitable for your driver needs, feel free
+ to add it and send patch along with your driver.
+
+ The attributes available currently are the ones currently provided by the
+ drivers written.
+
+ Good candidates to add in future: model/part#, cycle_time, manufacturer,
+ etc.
+
+
+Q:
+ I have some very specific attribute (e.g. battery color), should I add
+ this attribute to standard ones?
+A:
+ Most likely, no. Such attribute can be placed in the driver itself, if
+ it is useful. Of course, if the attribute in question applicable to
+ large set of batteries, provided by many drivers, and/or comes from
+ some general battery specification/standard, it may be a candidate to
+ be added to the core attribute set.
+
+
+Q:
+ Suppose, my battery monitoring chip/firmware does not provides capacity
+ in percents, but provides charge_{now,full,empty}. Should I calculate
+ percentage capacity manually, inside the driver, and register CAPACITY
+ attribute? The same question about time_to_empty/time_to_full.
+A:
+ Most likely, no. This class is designed to export properties which are
+ directly measurable by the specific hardware available.
+
+ Inferring not available properties using some heuristics or mathematical
+ model is not subject of work for a battery driver. Such functionality
+ should be factored out, and in fact, apm_power, the driver to serve
+ legacy APM API on top of power supply class, uses a simple heuristic of
+ approximating remaining battery capacity based on its charge, current,
+ voltage and so on. But full-fledged battery model is likely not subject
+ for kernel at all, as it would require floating point calculation to deal
+ with things like differential equations and Kalman filters. This is
+ better be handled by batteryd/libbattery, yet to be written.

+=======================
+Power Capping Framework
+=======================
+
+The power capping framework provides a consistent interface between the kernel
+and the user space that allows power capping drivers to expose the settings to
+user space in a uniform way.
+
+Terminology
+===========
+
+The framework exposes power capping devices to user space via sysfs in the
+form of a tree of objects. The objects at the root level of the tree represent
+'control types', which correspond to different methods of power capping. For
+example, the intel-rapl control type represents the Intel "Running Average
+Power Limit" (RAPL) technology, whereas the 'idle-injection' control type
+corresponds to the use of idle injection for controlling power.
+
+Power zones represent different parts of the system, which can be controlled and
+monitored using the power capping method determined by the control type the
+given zone belongs to. They each contain attributes for monitoring power, as
+well as controls represented in the form of power constraints. If the parts of
+the system represented by different power zones are hierarchical (that is, one
+bigger part consists of multiple smaller parts that each have their own power
+controls), those power zones may also be organized in a hierarchy with one
+parent power zone containing multiple subzones and so on to reflect the power
+control topology of the system. In that case, it is possible to apply power
+capping to a set of devices together using the parent power zone and if more
+fine grained control is required, it can be applied through the subzones.
+
+

+
+The above example illustrates a case in which the Intel RAPL technology,
+available in Intel® IA-64 and IA-32 Processor Architectures, is used. There is one
+control type called intel-rapl which contains two power zones, intel-rapl:0 and
+intel-rapl:1, representing CPU packages. Each of these power zones contains
+two subzones, intel-rapl:j:0 and intel-rapl:j:1 (j = 0, 1), representing the
+"core" and the "uncore" parts of the given CPU package, respectively. All of
+the zones and subzones contain energy monitoring attributes (energy_uj,
+max_energy_range_uj) and constraint attributes (constraint_*) allowing controls
+to be applied (the constraints in the 'package' power zones apply to the whole
+CPU packages and the subzone constraints only apply to the respective parts of
+the given package individually). Since Intel RAPL doesn't provide instantaneous
+power value, there is no power_uw attribute.
+
+In addition to that, each power zone contains a name attribute, allowing the
+part of the system represented by that zone to be identified.
+For example::
+
+ cat /sys/class/power_cap/intel-rapl/intel-rapl:0/name
+
+package-0
+---------
+
+The Intel RAPL technology allows two constraints, short term and long term,
+with two different time windows to be applied to each power zone. Thus for
+each zone there are 2 attributes representing the constraint names, 2 power
+limits and 2 attributes representing the sizes of the time windows. Such that,
+constraint_j_* attributes correspond to the jth constraint (j = 0,1).
+
+For example::
+
+ constraint_0_name
+ constraint_0_power_limit_uw
+ constraint_0_time_window_us
+ constraint_1_name
+ constraint_1_power_limit_uw
+ constraint_1_time_window_us

-Power Capping Framework
-==================================
-
-The power capping framework provides a consistent interface between the kernel
-and the user space that allows power capping drivers to expose the settings to
-user space in a uniform way.
-
-Terminology
-=========================
-The framework exposes power capping devices to user space via sysfs in the
-form of a tree of objects. The objects at the root level of the tree represent
-'control types', which correspond to different methods of power capping. For
-example, the intel-rapl control type represents the Intel "Running Average
-Power Limit" (RAPL) technology, whereas the 'idle-injection' control type
-corresponds to the use of idle injection for controlling power.
-
-Power zones represent different parts of the system, which can be controlled and
-monitored using the power capping method determined by the control type the
-given zone belongs to. They each contain attributes for monitoring power, as
-well as controls represented in the form of power constraints. If the parts of
-the system represented by different power zones are hierarchical (that is, one
-bigger part consists of multiple smaller parts that each have their own power
-controls), those power zones may also be organized in a hierarchy with one
-parent power zone containing multiple subzones and so on to reflect the power
-control topology of the system. In that case, it is possible to apply power
-capping to a set of devices together using the parent power zone and if more
-fine grained control is required, it can be applied through the subzones.
-
-

-The above example illustrates a case in which the Intel RAPL technology,
-available in Intel® IA-64 and IA-32 Processor Architectures, is used. There is one
-control type called intel-rapl which contains two power zones, intel-rapl:0 and
-intel-rapl:1, representing CPU packages. Each of these power zones contains
-two subzones, intel-rapl:j:0 and intel-rapl:j:1 (j = 0, 1), representing the
-"core" and the "uncore" parts of the given CPU package, respectively. All of
-the zones and subzones contain energy monitoring attributes (energy_uj,
-max_energy_range_uj) and constraint attributes (constraint_*) allowing controls
-to be applied (the constraints in the 'package' power zones apply to the whole
-CPU packages and the subzone constraints only apply to the respective parts of
-the given package individually). Since Intel RAPL doesn't provide instantaneous
-power value, there is no power_uw attribute.
-
-In addition to that, each power zone contains a name attribute, allowing the
-part of the system represented by that zone to be identified.
-For example:
-
-cat /sys/class/power_cap/intel-rapl/intel-rapl:0/name
-package-0
-
-The Intel RAPL technology allows two constraints, short term and long term,
-with two different time windows to be applied to each power zone. Thus for
-each zone there are 2 attributes representing the constraint names, 2 power
-limits and 2 attributes representing the sizes of the time windows. Such that,
-constraint_j_* attributes correspond to the jth constraint (j = 0,1).
-
-For example:
- constraint_0_name
- constraint_0_power_limit_uw
- constraint_0_time_window_us
- constraint_1_name
- constraint_1_power_limit_uw
- constraint_1_time_window_us

+Regulator Driver Interface
+==========================
+
+The regulator driver interface is relatively simple and designed to allow

+
+Registration
+============
+
+Drivers can register a regulator by calling::
+
+ struct regulator_dev *regulator_register(struct regulator_desc *regulator_desc,
+ const struct regulator_config *config);
+
+This will register the regulator's capabilities and operations to the regulator
+core.
+
+Regulators can be unregistered by calling::
+
+ void regulator_unregister(struct regulator_dev *rdev);
+
+
+Regulator Events
+================
+
+Regulators can send events (e.g. overtemperature, undervoltage, etc) to
+consumer drivers by calling::
+
+ int regulator_notifier_call_chain(struct regulator_dev *rdev,

+ your hardware while system is suspended... well, it was not good idea;
+ but it will probably only crash.
+
+ ( ) suspend/resume support is needed to make it safe.
+
+ If you have any filesystems on USB devices mounted before software suspend,
+ they won't be accessible after resume and you may lose data, as though
+ you have unplugged the USB devices with mounted filesystems on them;
+ see the FAQ below for details. (This is not true for more traditional
+ power states like "standby", which normally don't turn USB off.)
+
+Swap partition:
+ You need to append resume=/dev/your_swap_partition to kernel command
+ line or specify it using /sys/power/resume.
+
+Swap file:
+ If using a swapfile you can also specify a resume offset using
+ resume_offset=<number> on the kernel command line or specify it
+ in /sys/power/resume_offset.
+
+After preparing then you suspend by::
+
+ echo shutdown > /sys/power/disk; echo disk > /sys/power/state
+
+- If you feel ACPI works pretty well on your system, you might try::
+
+ echo platform > /sys/power/disk; echo disk > /sys/power/state
+
+- If you would like to write hibernation image to swap and then suspend
+ to RAM (provided your platform supports it), you can try::
+
+ echo suspend > /sys/power/disk; echo disk > /sys/power/state
+
+- If you have SATA disks, you'll need recent kernels with SATA suspend
+ support. For suspend and resume to work, make sure your disk drivers
+ are built into kernel -- not modules. [There's way to make
+ suspend/resume with modular disk drivers, see FAQ, but you probably
+ should not do that.]
+
+If you want to limit the suspend image size to N bytes, do::

+before suspend (it is limited to around 2/5 of available RAM by default).
+
+- The resume process checks for the presence of the resume device,
+ if found, it then checks the contents for the hibernation image signature.
+ If both are found, it resumes the hibernation image.
+
+- The resume process may be triggered in two ways:
+
+ 1) During lateinit: If resume=/dev/your_swap_partition is specified on
+ the kernel command line, lateinit runs the resume process. If the
+ resume device has not been probed yet, the resume process fails and
+ bootup continues.
+ 2) Manually from an initrd or initramfs: May be run from
+ the init script by using the /sys/power/resume file. It is vital
+ that this be done prior to remounting any filesystems (even as
+ read-only) otherwise data may be corrupted.
+
+Article about goals and implementation of Software Suspend for Linux
+====================================================================
+
+Author: Gábor Kuti
+Last revised: 2003-10-20 by Pavel Machek
+
+Idea and goals to achieve
+-------------------------
+
+Nowadays it is common in several laptops that they have a suspend button. 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? They seem to be resumed
+ during system suspend?
+
+A:
+ That's correct. We need to resume them if we want to write image to
+ disk. Whole sequence goes like
+
+ **Suspend part**
+
+ running system, user asks for suspend-to-disk
+
+ user processes are stopped
+
+ suspend(PMSG_FREEZE): devices are frozen so that they don't interfere
+ with state snapshot
+
+ state snapshot: copy of whole used memory is taken with interrupts disabled
+
+ resume(): devices are woken up so that we can write image to swap
+
+ write image to swap
+
+ suspend(PMSG_SUSPEND): suspend devices so that we can power off
+
+ turn the power off
+
+ **Resume part**
+
+ (is actually pretty similar)
+
+ running system, user asks for suspend-to-disk
+
+ user processes are stopped (in common case there are none,
+ but with resume-from-initrd, no one knows)
+
+ read image from disk
+
+ suspend(PMSG_FREEZE): devices are frozen so that they don't interfere
+ with image restoration
+
+ image restoration: rewrite memory with image
+
+ resume(): devices are woken up so that system can continue
+
+ thaw all user processes
+
+Q:
+ What is this 'Encrypt suspend image' for?
+
+A:
+ First of all: it is not a replacement for dm-crypt encrypted swap.
+ It cannot protect your computer while it is suspended. Instead it does
+ protect from leaking sensitive data after resume from suspend.
+
+ Think of the following: you suspend while an application is running
+ that keeps sensitive data in memory. The application itself prevents
+ the data from being swapped out. Suspend, however, must write these
+ data to swap to be able to resume later on. Without suspend encryption
+ your sensitive data are then stored in plaintext on disk. This means
+ that after resume your sensitive data are accessible to all
+ applications having direct access to the swap device which was used
+ for suspend. If you don't need swap after resume these data can remain
+ on disk virtually forever. Thus it can happen that your system gets
+ broken in weeks later and sensitive data which you thought were
+ encrypted and protected are retrieved and stolen from the swap device.
+ To prevent this situation you should use 'Encrypt suspend image'.
+
+ During suspend a temporary key is created and this key is used to
+ encrypt the data written to disk. When, during resume, the data was
+ read back into memory the temporary key is destroyed which simply
+ means that all data written to disk during suspend are then
+ inaccessible so they can't be stolen later on. The only thing that
+ you must then take care of is that you call 'mkswap' for the swap
+ partition used for suspend as early as possible during regular
+ boot. This asserts that any temporary key from an oopsed suspend or
+ from a failed or aborted resume is erased from the swap device.
+
+ As a rule of thumb use encrypted swap to protect your data while your
+ system is shut down or suspended. Additionally use the encrypted
+ suspend image to prevent sensitive data from being stolen after
+ resume.
+
+Q:
+ Can I suspend to a swap file?
+
+A:
+ Generally, yes, you can. However, it requires you to use the "resume=" and
+ "resume_offset=" kernel command line parameters, so the resume from a swap file
+ cannot be initiated from an initrd or initramfs image. See
+ swsusp-and-swap-files.txt for details.
+
+Q:
+ Is there a maximum system RAM size that is supported by swsusp?
+
+A:
+ It should work okay with highmem.
+
+Q:
+ Does swsusp (to disk) use only one swap partition or can it use
+ multiple swap partitions (aggregate them into one logical space)?
+
+A:
+ Only one swap partition, sorry.
+
+Q:
+ If my application(s) causes lots of memory & swap space to be used
+ (over half of the total system RAM), is it correct that it is likely
+ to be useless to try to suspend to disk while that app is running?
+
+A:
+ No, it should work okay, as long as your app does not mlock()
+ it. Just prepare big enough swap partition.
+
+Q:
+ What information is useful for debugging suspend-to-disk problems?
+
+A:
+ Well, last messages on the screen are always useful. If something
+ is broken, it is usually some kernel driver, therefore trying with as
+ little as possible modules loaded helps a lot. I also prefer people to
+ suspend from console, preferably without X running. Booting with
+ init=/bin/bash, then swapon and starting suspend sequence manually
+ usually does the trick. Then it is good idea to try with latest
+ vanilla kernel.
+
+Q:
+ How can distributions ship a swsusp-supporting kernel with modular
+ disk drivers (especially SATA)?
+
+A:
+ Well, it can be done, load the drivers, then do echo into
+ /sys/power/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.

-Some warnings, first.
-
- * BIG FAT WARNING *********************************************************
- *
- * If you touch anything on disk between suspend and resume...
- * ...kiss your data goodbye.
- *
- * If you do resume from initrd after your filesystems are mounted...
- * ...bye bye root partition.
- * [this is actually same case as above]
- *
- * If you have unsupported (*) devices using DMA, you may have some
- * problems. If your disk driver does not support suspend... (IDE does),
- * it may cause some problems, too. If you change kernel command line
- * between suspend and resume, it may do something wrong. If you change
- * your hardware while system is suspended... well, it was not good idea;
- * but it will probably only crash.
- *
- * (*) suspend/resume support is needed to make it safe.
- *
- * If you have any filesystems on USB devices mounted before software suspend,
- * they won't be accessible after resume and you may lose data, as though
- * you have unplugged the USB devices with mounted filesystems on them;
- * see the FAQ below for details. (This is not true for more traditional
- * power states like "standby", which normally don't turn USB off.)
-
-Swap partition:
-You need to append resume=/dev/your_swap_partition to kernel command
-line or specify it using /sys/power/resume.
-
-Swap file:
-If using a swapfile you can also specify a resume offset using
-resume_offset=<number> on the kernel command line or specify it
-in /sys/power/resume_offset.
-
-After preparing then you suspend by
-
-echo shutdown > /sys/power/disk; echo disk > /sys/power/state
-
-. If you feel ACPI works pretty well on your system, you might try
-
-echo platform > /sys/power/disk; echo disk > /sys/power/state
-
-. If you would like to write hibernation image to swap and then suspend
-to RAM (provided your platform supports it), you can try
-
-echo suspend > /sys/power/disk; echo disk > /sys/power/state
-
-. If you have SATA disks, you'll need recent kernels with SATA suspend
-support. For suspend and resume to work, make sure your disk drivers
-are built into kernel -- not modules. [There's way to make
-suspend/resume with modular disk drivers, see FAQ, but you probably
-should not do that.]
-
-If you want to limit the suspend image size to N bytes, do
-
-echo N > /sys/power/image_size
-
-before suspend (it is limited to around 2/5 of available RAM by default).
-
-. The resume process checks for the presence of the resume device,
-if found, it then checks the contents for the hibernation image signature.
-If both are found, it resumes the hibernation image.
-
-. The resume process may be triggered in two ways:
- 1) During lateinit: If resume=/dev/your_swap_partition is specified on
- the kernel command line, lateinit runs the resume process. If the
- resume device has not been probed yet, the resume process fails and
- bootup continues.
- 2) Manually from an initrd or initramfs: May be run from
- the init script by using the /sys/power/resume file. It is vital
- that this be done prior to remounting any filesystems (even as
- read-only) otherwise data may be corrupted.

-Article about goals and implementation of Software Suspend for Linux
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Author: Gábor Kuti
-Last revised: 2003-10-20 by Pavel Machek
-
-Idea and goals to achieve
-
-Nowadays it is common in several laptops that they have a suspend button. 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?
-

-highmem and preemption. It also has a extensible architecture that

-
-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

- "suspended led"
-
-"platform" is actually right thing to do where supported, but
-"shutdown" is most reliable (except on ACPI systems).

-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.
