Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com> - -The power management subsystem provides userspace with a unified sysfs interface -for system sleep regardless of the underlying system architecture or platform. -The interface is located in the /sys/power/ directory (assuming that sysfs is -mounted at /sys). - -/sys/power/state is the system sleep state control file. - -Reading from it returns a list of supported sleep states, encoded as: - -- 'freeze' (Suspend-to-Idle) -- 'standby' (Power-On Suspend) -- 'mem' (Suspend-to-RAM) -- 'disk' (Suspend-to-Disk) - -Suspend-to-Idle is always supported. Suspend-to-Disk is always supported -too as long the kernel has been configured to support hibernation at all -(ie. CONFIG_HIBERNATION is set in the kernel configuration file). Support -for Suspend-to-RAM and Power-On Suspend depends on the capabilities of the -platform. - -If one of the strings listed in /sys/power/state is written to it, the system -will attempt to transition into the corresponding sleep state. Refer to -Documentation/admin-guide/pm/sleep-states.rst for a description of each of -those states. - -/sys/power/disk controls the operating mode of hibernation (Suspend-to-Disk). -Specifically, it tells the kernel what to do after creating a hibernation image. - -Reading from it returns a list of supported options encoded as: - -- 'platform' (put the system into sleep using a platform-provided method) -- 'shutdown' (shut the system down) -- 'reboot' (reboot the system) -- 'suspend' (trigger a Suspend-to-RAM transition) -- 'test_resume' (resume-after-hibernation test mode) - -The currently selected option is printed in square brackets. - -The 'platform' option is only available if the platform provides a special -mechanism to put the system to sleep after creating a hibernation image (ACPI -does that, for example). The 'suspend' option is available if Suspend-to-RAM -is supported. Refer to Documentation/power/basic-pm-debugging.rst for the -description of the 'test_resume' option. - -To select an option, write the string representing it to /sys/power/disk. - -/sys/power/image_size controls the size of hibernation images. - -It can be written a string representing a non-negative integer that will be -used as a best-effort upper limit of the image size, in bytes. The hibernation -core will do its best to ensure that the image size will not exceed that number. -However, if that turns out to be impossible to achieve, a hibernation image will -still be created and its size will be as small as possible. In particular, -writing '0' to this file will enforce hibernation images to be as small as -possible. - -Reading from this file returns the current image size limit, which is set to -around 2/5 of available RAM by default. - -/sys/power/pm_trace controls the PM trace mechanism saving the last suspend -or resume event point in the RTC across reboots. - -It helps to debug hard lockups or reboots due to device driver failures that -occur during system suspend or resume (which is more common) more effectively. - -If /sys/power/pm_trace contains '1', the fingerprint of each suspend/resume -event point in turn will be stored in the RTC memory (overwriting the actual -RTC information), so it will survive a system crash if one occurs right after -storing it and it can be used later to identify the driver that caused the crash -to happen (see Documentation/power/s2ram.rst for more information). - -Initially it contains '0' which may be changed to '1' by writing a string -representing a nonzero integer into it. |
