PM / runtime: add note about re-calling in during device probe()

2015-05-12T22:02:38+00:00

The sh_eth driver has come up with an issue where the runtime_pm
code suspends it during the probe() method due to the network
device registration re-calling into the driver.

Add a note about this into the documentation.

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These are mostly fixes and cleanups all over, although there are a few
  items that sort of fall into the new feature category.

  First off, we have new callbacks for PM domains that should help us to
  handle some issues related to device initialization in a better way.

  There also is some consolidation in the unified device properties API
  area allowing us to use that inferface for accessing data coming from
  platform initialization code in addition to firmware-provided data.

  We have some new device/CPU IDs in a few drivers, support for new
  chips and a new cpufreq driver too.

  Specifics:

   - Generic PM domains support update including new PM domain callbacks
     to handle device initialization better (Russell King, Rafael J
     Wysocki, Kevin Hilman)

   - Unified device properties API update including a new mechanism for
     accessing data provided by platform initialization code (Rafael J
     Wysocki, Adrian Hunter)

   - ARM cpuidle update including ARM32/ARM64 handling consolidation
     (Daniel Lezcano)

   - intel_idle update including support for the Silvermont Core in the
     Baytrail SOC and for the Airmont Core in the Cherrytrail and
     Braswell SOCs (Len Brown, Mathias Krause)

   - New cpufreq driver for Hisilicon ACPU (Leo Yan)

   - intel_pstate update including support for the Knights Landing chip
     (Dasaratharaman Chandramouli, Kristen Carlson Accardi)

   - QorIQ cpufreq driver update (Tang Yuantian, Arnd Bergmann)

   - powernv cpufreq driver update (Shilpasri G Bhat)

   - devfreq update including Tegra support changes (Tomeu Vizoso,
     MyungJoo Ham, Chanwoo Choi)

   - powercap RAPL (Running-Average Power Limit) driver update including
     support for Intel Broadwell server chips (Jacob Pan, Mathias Krause)

   - ACPI device enumeration update related to the handling of the
     special PRP0001 device ID allowing DT-style 'compatible' property
     to be used for ACPI device identification (Rafael J Wysocki)

   - ACPI EC driver update including limited _DEP support (Lan Tianyu,
     Lv Zheng)

   - ACPI backlight driver update including a new mechanism to allow
     native backlight handling to be forced on non-Windows 8 systems and
     a new quirk for Lenovo Ideapad Z570 (Aaron Lu, Hans de Goede)

   - New Windows Vista compatibility quirk for Sony VGN-SR19XN (Chen Yu)

   - Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups (Aaron Lu, Martin Kepplinger,
     Masanari Iida, Mika Westerberg, Nan Li, Rafael J Wysocki)

   - Fixes related to suspend-to-idle for the iTCO watchdog driver and
     the ACPI core system suspend/resume code (Rafael J Wysocki, Chen Yu)

   - PM tracing support for the suspend phase of system suspend/resume
     transitions (Zhonghui Fu)

   - Configurable delay for the system suspend/resume testing facility
     (Brian Norris)

   - PNP subsystem cleanups (Peter Huewe, Rafael J Wysocki)"

genirq / PM: describe IRQF_COND_SUSPEND

2015-03-06T00:28:14+00:00

With certain restrictions it is possible for a wakeup device to share
an IRQ with an IRQF_NO_SUSPEND user, and the warnings introduced by
commit cab303be91dc47942bc25de33dc1140123540800 are spurious. The new
IRQF_COND_SUSPEND flag allows drivers to tell the core when these
restrictions are met, allowing spurious warnings to be silenced.

This patch documents how IRQF_COND_SUSPEND is expected to be used,
updating some of the text now made invalid by its addition.

PM / sleep: add configurable delay for pm_test

2015-02-26T00:21:26+00:00

When CONFIG_PM_DEBUG=y, we provide a sysfs file (/sys/power/pm_test) for
selecting one of a few suspend test modes, where rather than entering a
full suspend state, the kernel will perform some subset of suspend
steps, wait 5 seconds, and then resume back to normal operation.

This mode is useful for (among other things) observing the state of the
system just before entering a sleep mode, for debugging or analysis
purposes. However, a constant 5 second wait is not sufficient for some
sorts of analysis; for example, on an SoC, one might want to use
external tools to probe the power states of various on-chip controllers
or clocks.

This patch turns this 5 second delay into a configurable module
parameter, so users can determine how long to wait in this
pseudo-suspend state before resuming the system.

Example (wait 30 seconds);

  # echo 30 > /sys/module/suspend/parameters/pm_test_delay
  # echo core > /sys/power/pm_test
  # time echo mem  > /sys/power/state
  ...
  [   17.583625] suspend debug: Waiting for 30 second(s).

genirq / PM: better describe IRQF_NO_SUSPEND semantics

2015-02-26T00:17:53+00:00

The IRQF_NO_SUSPEND flag is intended to be used for interrupts required
to be enabled during the suspend-resume cycle. This mostly consists of
IPIs and timer interrupts, potentially including chained irqchip
interrupts if these are necessary to handle timers or IPIs. If an
interrupt does not fall into one of the aforementioned categories,
requesting it with IRQF_NO_SUSPEND is likely incorrect.

Using IRQF_NO_SUSPEND does not guarantee that the interrupt can wake the
system from a suspended state. For an interrupt to be able to trigger a
wakeup, it may be necessary to program various components of the system.
In these cases it is necessary to use {enable,disabled}_irq_wake.

Unfortunately, several drivers assume that IRQF_NO_SUSPEND ensures that
an IRQ can wake up the system, and the documentation can be read
ambiguously w.r.t. this property.

This patch updates the documentation regarding IRQF_NO_SUSPEND to make
this caveat explicit, hopefully making future misuse rarer. Cleanup of
existing misuse will occur as part of later patch series.
