What: /sys/power/
Date: August 2006
Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
Description:
The /sys/power directory will contain files that will
provide a unified interface to the power management
subsystem.
What: /sys/power/state
Date: August 2006
Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
Description:
The /sys/power/state file controls the system power state.
Reading from this file returns what states are supported,
which is hard-coded to 'standby' (Power-On Suspend), 'mem'
(Suspend-to-RAM), and 'disk' (Suspend-to-Disk).
Writing to this file one of these strings causes the system to
transition into that state. Please see the file
Documentation/power/states.txt for a description of each of
these states.
What: /sys/power/disk
Date: August 2006
Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
Description:
The /sys/power/disk file controls the operating mode of the
suspend-to-disk mechanism. Reading from this file returns
the name of the method by which the system will be put to
sleep on the next suspend. There are four methods supported:
'firmware' - means that the memory image will be saved to disk
by some firmware, in which case we also assume that the
firmware will handle the system suspend.
'platform' - the memory image will be saved by the kernel and
the system will be put to sleep by the platform driver (e.g.
ACPI or other PM registers).
'shutdown' - the memory image will be saved by the kernel and
the system will be powered off.
'reboot' - the memory image will be saved by the kernel and
the system will be rebooted.
The suspend-to-disk method may be chosen by writing to this
file one of the accepted strings:
'firmware'
'platform'
'shutdown'
'reboot'
It will only change to 'firmware' or 'platform' if the system
supports that.
What: /sys/power/image_size
Date: August 2006
Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
Description:
The /sys/power/image_size file controls the size of the image
created by the suspend-to-disk mechanism. It can be written a
string representing a non-negative integer that will be used
as an upper limit of the image size, in bytes. The kernel's
suspend-to-disk code will do its best to ensure the image size
will not exceed this number. However, if it turns out to be
impossible, the kernel will try to suspend anyway using the
smallest image possible. In particular, if "0" is written to
this file, the suspend image will be as small as possible.
Reading from this file will display the current image size
limit, which is set to 500 MB by default.
What: /sys/power/pm_trace
Date: August 2006
Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
Description:
The /sys/power/pm_trace file controls the code which saves the
last PM event point in the RTC across reboots, so that you can
debug a machine that just hangs during suspend (or more
commonly, during resume). Namely, the RTC is only used to save
the last PM event point if this file contains '1'. Initially
it contains '0' which may be changed to '1' by writing a
string representing a nonzero integer into it.
To use this debugging feature you should attempt to suspend
the machine, then reboot it and run
dmesg -s 1000000 | grep 'hash matches'
CAUTION: Using it will cause your machine's real-time (CMOS)
clock to be set to a random invalid time after a resume.
