PM / Runtime: Implement autosuspend support

2010-10-16T23:57:48+00:00

This patch (as1427) implements the "autosuspend" facility for runtime
PM.  A few new fields are added to the dev_pm_info structure and
several new PM helper functions are defined, for telling the PM core
whether or not a device uses autosuspend, for setting the autosuspend
delay, and for marking periods of device activity.

Drivers that do not want to use autosuspend can continue using the
same helper functions as before; their behavior will not change.  In
addition, drivers supporting autosuspend can also call the old helper
functions to get the old behavior.

The details are all explained in Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt
and Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-power.

PM / Runtime: Add no_callbacks flag

2010-10-16T23:57:47+00:00

Some devices, such as USB interfaces, cannot be power-managed
independently of their parents, i.e., they cannot be put in low power
while the parent remains at full power.  This patch (as1425) creates a
new "no_callbacks" flag, which tells the PM core not to invoke the
runtime-PM callback routines for the such devices but instead to
assume that the callbacks always succeed.  In addition, the
non-debugging runtime-PM sysfs attributes for the devices are removed,
since they are pretty much meaningless.

The advantage of this scheme comes not so much from avoiding the
callbacks themselves, but rather from the fact that without the need
for a process context in which to run the callbacks, more work can be
done in interrupt context.

PM / Wakeup: Introduce wakeup source objects and event statistics (v3)

2010-10-16T23:57:43+00:00

Introduce struct wakeup_source for representing system wakeup sources
within the kernel and for collecting statistics related to them.
Make the recently introduced helper functions pm_wakeup_event(),
pm_stay_awake() and pm_relax() use struct wakeup_source objects
internally, so that wakeup statistics associated with wakeup devices
can be collected and reported in a consistent way (the definition of
pm_relax() is changed, which is harmless, because this function is
not called directly by anyone yet).  Introduce new wakeup-related
sysfs device attributes in /sys/devices/.../power for reporting the
device wakeup statistics.

Change the global wakeup events counters event_count and
events_in_progress into atomic variables, so that it is not necessary
to acquire a global spinlock in pm_wakeup_event(), pm_stay_awake()
and pm_relax(), which should allow us to avoid lock contention in
these functions on SMP systems with many wakeup devices.

PM / Runtime: Add runtime PM statistics (v3)

2010-07-19T00:01:06+00:00

In order for PowerTOP to be able to report how well the new runtime PM is
working for the various drivers, the kernel needs to export some basic
statistics in sysfs.

This patch adds two sysfs files in the runtime PM domain that expose the
total time a device has been active, and the time a device has been
suspended.

With this PowerTOP can compute the activity percentage

Active %age = 100 * (delta active) / (delta active + delta suspended)

and present the information to the user.

I've written the PowerTOP code (slated for version 1.12) already, and the
output looks like this:

Runtime Device Power Management statistics
Active  Device name
 10.0%	06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller

[version 2: fix stat update bugs noticed by Alan Stern]
[version 3: rebase to -next and move the sysfs declaration]

PM / Runtime: Make runtime_status attribute not debug-only (v. 2)

2010-07-19T00:00:36+00:00

This patch (as1404b) makes the runtime_status sysfs attribute available
even in the absence of CONFIG_PM_ADVANCED_DEBUG, and it changes the
routine to display "unsupported" when runtime PM is disabled for a
device.  Although not strictly 100% accurate, this will almost always
be correct.

PM: Make it possible to avoid races between wakeup and system sleep

2010-07-18T23:58:48+00:00

One of the arguments during the suspend blockers discussion was that
the mainline kernel didn't contain any mechanisms making it possible
to avoid races between wakeup and system suspend.

Generally, there are two problems in that area.  First, if a wakeup
event occurs exactly when /sys/power/state is being written to, it
may be delivered to user space right before the freezer kicks in, so
the user space consumer of the event may not be able to process it
before the system is suspended.  Second, if a wakeup event occurs
after user space has been frozen, it is not generally guaranteed that
the ongoing transition of the system into a sleep state will be
aborted.

To address these issues introduce a new global sysfs attribute,
/sys/power/wakeup_count, associated with a running counter of wakeup
events and three helper functions, pm_stay_awake(), pm_relax(), and
pm_wakeup_event(), that may be used by kernel subsystems to control
the behavior of this attribute and to request the PM core to abort
system transitions into a sleep state already in progress.

The /sys/power/wakeup_count file may be read from or written to by
user space.  Reads will always succeed (unless interrupted by a
signal) and return the current value of the wakeup events counter.
Writes, however, will only succeed if the written number is equal to
the current value of the wakeup events counter.  If a write is
successful, it will cause the kernel to save the current value of the
wakeup events counter and to abort the subsequent system transition
into a sleep state if any wakeup events are reported after the write
has returned.

[The assumption is that before writing to /sys/power/state user space
will first read from /sys/power/wakeup_count.  Next, user space
consumers of wakeup events will have a chance to acknowledge or
veto the upcoming system transition to a sleep state.  Finally, if
the transition is allowed to proceed, /sys/power/wakeup_count will
be written to and if that succeeds, /sys/power/state will be written
to as well.  Still, if any wakeup events are reported to the PM core
by kernel subsystems after that point, the transition will be
aborted.]

Additionally, put a wakeup events counter into struct dev_pm_info and
make these per-device wakeup event counters available via sysfs,
so that it's possible to check the activity of various wakeup event
sources within the kernel.

To illustrate how subsystems can use pm_wakeup_event(), make the
low-level PCI runtime PM wakeup-handling code use it.

PM / Runtime: Add sysfs debug files

2010-05-10T21:08:17+00:00

Add a few sysfs files relating to runtime power management for
advanced debug purposes:

runtime_enabled: is runtime PM enabled for this device? States
	are "enabled", "disabled", "forbidden" or a combination
	of the latter two.

runtime_status:	what state is the device in currently? E.g., it
	reports "suspended" for runtime-suspended devices, and
        "active" for active devices. NOTE: if runtime_enabled
	returns "disabled", the value of this file may not
	reflect its physical state.

runtime_usage: the runtime PM usage count of a device

runtime_active_kids: the runtime PM children usage count of a device, or
	0 if the ignore_children flag is set.

Also, CONFIG_PM_SLEEP_ADVANCED_DEBUG is not defined in any Kconfig
file, so replace it with CONFIG_PM_ADVANCED_DEBUG.

PM: Add facility for advanced testing of async suspend/resume

2010-02-26T19:39:10+00:00

Add configuration switch CONFIG_PM_ADVANCED_DEBUG for compiling in
extra PM debugging/testing code allowing one to access some
PM-related attributes of devices from the user space via sysfs.

If CONFIG_PM_ADVANCED_DEBUG is set, add sysfs attribute power/async
for every device allowing the user space to access the device's
power.async_suspend flag and modify it, if desired.

PM / Runtime: Add sysfs switch for disabling device run-time PM

2010-02-26T19:39:08+00:00

Add new device sysfs attribute, power/control, allowing the user
space to block the run-time power management of the devices.  If this
attribute is set to "on", the driver of the device won't be able to power
manage it at run time (without breaking the rules) and the device will
always be in the full power state (except when the entire system goes
into a sleep state).

PCI ACPI: Rework PCI handling of wake-up

2008-07-07T23:26:28+00:00

* Introduce function acpi_pm_device_sleep_wake() for enabling and
  disabling the system wake-up capability of devices that are power
  manageable by ACPI.

* Introduce function acpi_bus_can_wakeup() allowing other (dependent)
  subsystems to check if ACPI is able to enable the system wake-up
  capability of given device.

* Introduce callback .sleep_wake() in struct pci_platform_pm_ops and
  for the ACPI PCI 'driver' make it use acpi_pm_device_sleep_wake().

* Introduce callback .can_wakeup() in struct pci_platform_pm_ops and
  for the ACPI 'driver' make it use acpi_bus_can_wakeup().

* Move the PME# handlig code out of pci_enable_wake() and split it
  into two functions, pci_pme_capable() and pci_pme_active(),
  allowing the caller to check if given device is capable of
  generating PME# from given power state and to enable/disable the
  device's PME# functionality, respectively.

* Modify pci_enable_wake() to use the new ACPI callbacks and the new
  PME#-related functions.

* Drop the generic .platform_enable_wakeup() callback that is not
  used any more.

* Introduce device_set_wakeup_capable() that will set the
  power.can_wakeup flag of given device.

* Rework PCI device PM initialization so that, if given device is
  capable of generating wake-up events, either natively through the
  PME# mechanism, or with the help of the platform, its
  power.can_wakeup flag is set and its power.should_wakeup flag is
  unset as appropriate.

* Make ACPI set the power.can_wakeup flag for devices found to be
  wake-up capable by it.

* Make the ACPI wake-up code enable/disable GPEs for devices that
  have the wakeup.flags.prepared flag set (which means that their
  wake-up power has been enabled).
