CPU0 is often special +and excluded from CPU hotplug. On X86 the kernel option +*CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0* has to be enabled in order to be able to +shutdown CPU0. Alternatively the kernel command option *cpu0_hotplug* can be +used. Some known dependencies of CPU0: + +* Resume from hibernate/suspend. Hibernate/suspend will fail if CPU0 is offline. +* PIC interrupts. CPU0 can't be removed if a PIC interrupt is detected. + +Please let Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com> know if you find any dependencies +on CPU0. + +The CPU hotplug coordination +============================ + +The offline case +---------------- +Once a CPU has been logically shutdown the teardown callbacks of registered +hotplug states will be invoked, starting with ``CPUHP_ONLINE`` and terminating +at state ``CPUHP_OFFLINE``. This includes: + +* If tasks are frozen due to a suspend operation then *cpuhp_tasks_frozen* + will be set to true. +* All processes are migrated away from this outgoing CPU to new CPUs. + The new CPU is chosen from each process' current cpuset, which may be + a subset of all online CPUs. +* All interrupts targeted to this CPU are migrated to a new CPU +* timers are also migrated to a new CPU +* Once all services are migrated, kernel calls an arch specific routine + ``__cpu_disable()`` to perform arch specific cleanup. + +Using the hotplug API +--------------------- +It is possible to receive notifications once a CPU is offline or onlined. This +might be important to certain drivers which need to perform some kind of setup +or clean up functions based on the number of available CPUs: :: + + #include <linux/cpuhotplug.h> + + ret = cpuhp_setup_state(CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN, "X/Y:online", + Y_online, Y_prepare_down); + +*X* is the subsystem and *Y* the particular driver. The *Y_online* callback +will be invoked during registration on all online CPUs. If an error +occurs during the online callback the *Y_prepare_down* callback will be +invoked on all CPUs on which the online callback was previously invoked. +After registration completed, the *Y_online* callback will be invoked +once a CPU is brought online and *Y_prepare_down* will be invoked when a +CPU is shutdown. All resources which were previously allocated in +*Y_online* should be released in *Y_prepare_down*. +The return value *ret* is negative if an error occurred during the +registration process. Otherwise a positive value is returned which +contains the allocated hotplug for dynamically allocated states +(*CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN*). It will return zero for predefined states. + +The callback can be remove by invoking ``cpuhp_remove_state()``. In case of a +dynamically allocated state (*CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN*) use the returned state. +During the removal of a hotplug state the teardown callback will be invoked. + +Multiple instances +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +If a driver has multiple instances and each instance needs to perform the +callback independently then it is likely that a ''multi-state'' should be used. +First a multi-state state needs to be registered: :: + + ret = cpuhp_setup_state_multi(CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN, "X/Y:online, + Y_online, Y_prepare_down); + Y_hp_online = ret; + +The ``cpuhp_setup_state_multi()`` behaves similar to ``cpuhp_setup_state()`` +except it prepares the callbacks for a multi state and does not invoke +the callbacks. This is a one time setup. +Once a new instance is allocated, you need to register this new instance: :: + + ret = cpuhp_state_add_instance(Y_hp_online, &d->node); + +This function will add this instance to your previously allocated +*Y_hp_online* state and invoke the previously registered callback +(*Y_online*) on all online CPUs. The *node* element is a ``struct +hlist_node`` member of your per-instance data structure. + +On removal of the instance: :: + cpuhp_state_remove_instance(Y_hp_online, &d->node) + +should be invoked which will invoke the teardown callback on all online +CPUs. + +Manual setup +~~~~~~~~~~~~ +Usually it is handy to invoke setup and teardown callbacks on registration or +removal of a state because usually the operation needs to performed once a CPU +goes online (offline) and during initial setup (shutdown) of the driver. However +each registration and removal function is also available with a ``_nocalls`` +suffix which does not invoke the provided callbacks if the invocation of the +callbacks is not desired. During the manual setup (or teardown) the functions +``get_online_cpus()`` and ``put_online_cpus()`` should be used to inhibit CPU +hotplug operations. + + +The ordering of the events +-------------------------- +The hotplug states are defined in ``include/linux/cpuhotplug.h``: + +* The states *CPUHP_OFFLINE* … *CPUHP_AP_OFFLINE* are invoked before the + CPU is up. +* The states *CPUHP_AP_OFFLINE* … *CPUHP_AP_ONLINE* are invoked + just the after the CPU has been brought up. The interrupts are off and + the scheduler is not yet active on this CPU. Starting with *CPUHP_AP_OFFLINE* + the callbacks are invoked on the target CPU. +* The states between *CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN* and *CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN_END* are + reserved for the dynamic allocation. +* The states are invoked in the reverse order on CPU shutdown starting with + *CPUHP_ONLINE* and stopping at *CPUHP_OFFLINE*. Here the callbacks are + invoked on the CPU that will be shutdown until *CPUHP_AP_OFFLINE*. + +A dynamically allocated state via *CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN* is often enough. +However if an earlier invocation during the bring up or shutdown is required +then an explicit state should be acquired. An explicit state might also be +required if the hotplug event requires specific ordering in respect to +another hotplug event. + +Testing of hotplug states +========================= +One way to verify whether a custom state is working as expected or not is to +shutdown a CPU and then put it online again. It is also possible to put the CPU +to certain state (for instance *CPUHP_AP_ONLINE*) and then go back to +*CPUHP_ONLINE*. This would simulate an error one state after *CPUHP_AP_ONLINE* +which would lead to rollback to the online state. + +All registered states are enumerated in ``/sys/devices/system/cpu/hotplug/states``: :: + + $ tail /sys/devices/system/cpu/hotplug/states + 138: mm/vmscan:online + 139: mm/vmstat:online + 140: lib/percpu_cnt:online + 141: acpi/cpu-drv:online + 142: base/cacheinfo:online + 143: virtio/net:online + 144: x86/mce:online + 145: printk:online + 168: sched:active + 169: online + +To rollback CPU4 to ``lib/percpu_cnt:online`` and back online just issue: :: + + $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu4/hotplug/state + 169 + $ echo 140 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu4/hotplug/target + $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu4/hotplug/state + 140 + +It is important to note that the teardown callbac of state 140 have been +invoked.

That is, a +part of the CPU's address space is interpreted not as accesses to +memory, but as accesses to a device. Some architectures define devices +to be at a fixed address, but most have some method of discovering +devices. The PCI bus walk is a good example of such a scheme. This +document does not cover how to receive such an address, but assumes you +are starting with one. Physical addresses are of type unsigned long. + +This address should not be used directly. Instead, to get an address +suitable for passing to the accessor functions described below, you +should call :c:func:`ioremap()`. An address suitable for accessing +the device will be returned to you. + +After you've finished using the device (say, in your module's exit +routine), call :c:func:`iounmap()` in order to return the address +space to the kernel. Most architectures allocate new address space each +time you call :c:func:`ioremap()`, and they can run out unless you +call :c:func:`iounmap()`. + +Accessing the device +-------------------- + +The part of the interface most used by drivers is reading and writing +memory-mapped registers on the device. Linux provides interfaces to read +and write 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit and 64-bit quantities. Due to a +historical accident, these are named byte, word, long and quad accesses. +Both read and write accesses are supported; there is no prefetch support +at this time. + +The functions are named readb(), readw(), readl(), readq(), +readb_relaxed(), readw_relaxed(), readl_relaxed(), readq_relaxed(), +writeb(), writew(), writel() and writeq(). + +Some devices (such as framebuffers) would like to use larger transfers than +8 bytes at a time. For these devices, the :c:func:`memcpy_toio()`, +:c:func:`memcpy_fromio()` and :c:func:`memset_io()` functions are +provided. Do not use memset or memcpy on IO addresses; they are not +guaranteed to copy data in order. + +The read and write functions are defined to be ordered. That is the +compiler is not permitted to reorder the I/O sequence. When the ordering +can be compiler optimised, you can use __readb() and friends to +indicate the relaxed ordering. Use this with care. + +While the basic functions are defined to be synchronous with respect to +each other and ordered with respect to each other the busses the devices +sit on may themselves have asynchronicity. In particular many authors +are burned by the fact that PCI bus writes are posted asynchronously. A +driver author must issue a read from the same device to ensure that +writes have occurred in the specific cases the author cares. This kind +of property cannot be hidden from driver writers in the API. In some +cases, the read used to flush the device may be expected to fail (if the +card is resetting, for example). In that case, the read should be done +from config space, which is guaranteed to soft-fail if the card doesn't +respond. + +The following is an example of flushing a write to a device when the +driver would like to ensure the write's effects are visible prior to +continuing execution:: + + static inline void + qla1280_disable_intrs(struct scsi_qla_host *ha) + { + struct device_reg *reg; + + reg = ha->iobase; + /* disable risc and host interrupts */ + WRT_REG_WORD(®->ictrl, 0); + /* + * The following read will ensure that the above write + * has been received by the device before we return from this + * function. + */ + RD_REG_WORD(®->ictrl); + ha->flags.ints_enabled = 0; + } + +In addition to write posting, on some large multiprocessing systems +(e.g. SGI Challenge, Origin and Altix machines) posted writes won't be +strongly ordered coming from different CPUs. Thus it's important to +properly protect parts of your driver that do memory-mapped writes with +locks and use the :c:func:`mmiowb()` to make sure they arrive in the +order intended. Issuing a regular readX() will also ensure write ordering, +but should only be used when the +driver has to be sure that the write has actually arrived at the device +(not that it's simply ordered with respect to other writes), since a +full readX() is a relatively expensive operation. + +Generally, one should use :c:func:`mmiowb()` prior to releasing a spinlock +that protects regions using :c:func:`writeb()` or similar functions that +aren't surrounded by readb() calls, which will ensure ordering +and flushing. The following pseudocode illustrates what might occur if +write ordering isn't guaranteed via :c:func:`mmiowb()` or one of the +readX() functions:: + + CPU A: spin_lock_irqsave(&dev_lock, flags) + CPU A: ... + CPU A: writel(newval, ring_ptr); + CPU A: spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev_lock, flags) + ... + CPU B: spin_lock_irqsave(&dev_lock, flags) + CPU B: writel(newval2, ring_ptr); + CPU B: ... + CPU B: spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev_lock, flags) + +In the case above, newval2 could be written to ring_ptr before newval. +Fixing it is easy though:: + + CPU A: spin_lock_irqsave(&dev_lock, flags) + CPU A: ... + CPU A: writel(newval, ring_ptr); + CPU A: mmiowb(); /* ensure no other writes beat us to the device */ + CPU A: spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev_lock, flags) + ... + CPU B: spin_lock_irqsave(&dev_lock, flags) + CPU B: writel(newval2, ring_ptr); + CPU B: ... + CPU B: mmiowb(); + CPU B: spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev_lock, flags) + +See tg3.c for a real world example of how to use :c:func:`mmiowb()` + +PCI ordering rules also guarantee that PIO read responses arrive after any +outstanding DMA writes from that bus, since for some devices the result of +a readb() call may signal to the driver that a DMA transaction is +complete. In many cases, however, the driver may want to indicate that the +next readb() call has no relation to any previous DMA writes +performed by the device. The driver can use readb_relaxed() for +these cases, although only some platforms will honor the relaxed +semantics. Using the relaxed read functions will provide significant +performance benefits on platforms that support it. The qla2xxx driver +provides examples of how to use readX_relaxed(). In many cases, a majority +of the driver's readX() calls can safely be converted to readX_relaxed() +calls, since only a few will indicate or depend on DMA completion. + +Port Space Accesses +=================== + +Port Space Explained +-------------------- + +Another form of IO commonly supported is Port Space. This is a range of +addresses separate to the normal memory address space. Access to these +addresses is generally not as fast as accesses to the memory mapped +addresses, and it also has a potentially smaller address space. + +Unlike memory mapped IO, no preparation is required to access port +space. + +Accessing Port Space +-------------------- + +Accesses to this space are provided through a set of functions which +allow 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit accesses; also known as byte, word and +long. These functions are :c:func:`inb()`, :c:func:`inw()`, +:c:func:`inl()`, :c:func:`outb()`, :c:func:`outw()` and +:c:func:`outl()`. + +Some variants are provided for these functions. Some devices require +that accesses to their ports are slowed down. This functionality is +provided by appending a ``_p`` to the end of the function. +There are also equivalents to memcpy.

Most drivers will do very +little; others, especially for platforms with small batteries (like cell +phones), will do a lot. + +This writeup gives an overview of how drivers interact with system-wide +power management goals, emphasizing the models and interfaces that are +shared by everything that hooks up to the driver model core. Read it as +background for the domain-specific work you'd do with any specific driver. + + +Two Models for Device Power Management +====================================== + +Drivers will use one or both of these models to put devices into low-power +states: + + System Sleep model: + + Drivers can enter low-power states as part of entering system-wide + low-power states like "suspend" (also known as "suspend-to-RAM"), or + (mostly for systems with disks) "hibernation" (also known as + "suspend-to-disk"). + + This is something that device, bus, and class drivers collaborate on + by implementing various role-specific suspend and resume methods to + cleanly power down hardware and software subsystems, then reactivate + them without loss of data. + + Some drivers can manage hardware wakeup events, which make the system + leave the low-power state. This feature may be enabled or disabled + using the relevant :file:`/sys/devices/.../power/wakeup` file (for + Ethernet drivers the ioctl interface used by ethtool may also be used + for this purpose); enabling it may cost some power usage, but let the + whole system enter low-power states more often. + + Runtime Power Management model: + + Devices may also be put into low-power states while the system is + running, independently of other power management activity in principle. + However, devices are not generally independent of each other (for + example, a parent device cannot be suspended unless all of its child + devices have been suspended). Moreover, depending on the bus type the + device is on, it may be necessary to carry out some bus-specific + operations on the device for this purpose. Devices put into low power + states at run time may require special handling during system-wide power + transitions (suspend or hibernation). + + For these reasons not only the device driver itself, but also the + appropriate subsystem (bus type, device type or device class) driver and + the PM core are involved in runtime power management. As in the system + sleep power management case, they need to collaborate by implementing + various role-specific suspend and resume methods, so that the hardware + is cleanly powered down and reactivated without data or service loss. + +There's not a lot to be said about those low-power states except that they are +very system-specific, and often device-specific. Also, that if enough devices +have been put into low-power states (at runtime), the effect may be very similar +to entering some system-wide low-power state (system sleep) ... and that +synergies exist, so that several drivers using runtime PM might put the system +into a state where even deeper power saving options are available. + +Most suspended devices will have quiesced all I/O: no more DMA or IRQs (except +for wakeup events), no more data read or written, and requests from upstream +drivers are no longer accepted. A given bus or platform may have different +requirements though. + +Examples of hardware wakeup events include an alarm from a real time clock, +network wake-on-LAN packets, keyboard or mouse activity, and media insertion +or removal (for PCMCIA, MMC/SD, USB, and so on). + +Interfaces for Entering System Sleep States +=========================================== + +There are programming interfaces provided for subsystems (bus type, device type, +device class) and device drivers to allow them to participate in the power +management of devices they are concerned with. These interfaces cover both +system sleep and runtime power management. + + +Device Power Management Operations +---------------------------------- + +Device power management operations, at the subsystem level as well as at the +device driver level, are implemented by defining and populating objects of type +|struct dev_pm_ops| defined in :file:`include/linux/pm.h`. The roles of the +methods included in it will be explained in what follows. For now, it should be +sufficient to remember that the last three methods are specific to runtime power +management while the remaining ones are used during system-wide power +transitions. + +There also is a deprecated "old" or "legacy" interface for power management +operations available at least for some subsystems. This approach does not use +|struct dev_pm_ops| objects and it is suitable only for implementing system +sleep power management methods in a limited way. Therefore it is not described +in this document, so please refer directly to the source code for more +information about it. + + +Subsystem-Level Methods +----------------------- + +The core methods to suspend and resume devices reside in +|struct dev_pm_ops| pointed to by the :c:member:`ops` member of +|struct dev_pm_domain|, or by the :c:member:`pm` member of |struct bus_type|, +|struct device_type| and |struct class|. They are mostly of interest to the +people writing infrastructure for platforms and buses, like PCI or USB, or +device type and device class drivers. They also are relevant to the writers of +device drivers whose subsystems (PM domains, device types, device classes and +bus types) don't provide all power management methods. + +Bus drivers implement these methods as appropriate for the hardware and the +drivers using it; PCI works differently from USB, and so on. Not many people +write subsystem-level drivers; most driver code is a "device driver" that builds +on top of bus-specific framework code. + +For more information on these driver calls, see the description later; +they are called in phases for every device, respecting the parent-child +sequencing in the driver model tree. + + +:file:`/sys/devices/.../power/wakeup` files +------------------------------------------- + +All device objects in the driver model contain fields that control the handling +of system wakeup events (hardware signals that can force the system out of a +sleep state). These fields are initialized by bus or device driver code using +:c:func:`device_set_wakeup_capable()` and :c:func:`device_set_wakeup_enable()`, +defined in :file:`include/linux/pm_wakeup.h`. + +The :c:member:`power.can_wakeup` flag just records whether the device (and its +driver) can physically support wakeup events. The +:c:func:`device_set_wakeup_capable()` routine affects this flag. The +:c:member:`power.wakeup` field is a pointer to an object of type +|struct wakeup_source| used for controlling whether or not the device should use +its system wakeup mechanism and for notifying the PM core of system wakeup +events signaled by the device. This object is only present for wakeup-capable +devices (i.e. devices whose :c:member:`can_wakeup` flags are set) and is created +(or removed) by :c:func:`device_set_wakeup_capable()`. + +Whether or not a device is capable of issuing wakeup events is a hardware +matter, and the kernel is responsible for keeping track of it. By contrast, +whether or not a wakeup-capable device should issue wakeup events is a policy +decision, and it is managed by user space through a sysfs attribute: the +:file:`power/wakeup` file. User space can write the "enabled" or "disabled" +strings to it to indicate whether or not, respectively, the device is supposed +to signal system wakeup. This file is only present if the +:c:member:`power.wakeup` object exists for the given device and is created (or +removed) along with that object, by :c:func:`device_set_wakeup_capable()`. +Reads from the file will return the corresponding string. + +The initial value in the :file:`power/wakeup` file is "disabled" for the +majority of devices; the major exceptions are power buttons, keyboards, and +Ethernet adapters whose WoL (wake-on-LAN) feature has been set up with ethtool. +It should also default to "enabled" for devices that don't generate wakeup +requests on their own but merely forward wakeup requests from one bus to another +(like PCI Express ports). + +The :c:func:`device_may_wakeup()` routine returns true only if the +:c:member:`power.wakeup` object exists and the corresponding :file:`power/wakeup` +file contains the "enabled" string. This information is used by subsystems, +like the PCI bus type code, to see whether or not to enable the devices' wakeup +mechanisms. If device wakeup mechanisms are enabled or disabled directly by +drivers, they also should use :c:func:`device_may_wakeup()` to decide what to do +during a system sleep transition. Device drivers, however, are not expected to +call :c:func:`device_set_wakeup_enable()` directly in any case. + +It ought to be noted that system wakeup is conceptually different from "remote +wakeup" used by runtime power management, although it may be supported by the +same physical mechanism. Remote wakeup is a feature allowing devices in +low-power states to trigger specific interrupts to signal conditions in which +they should be put into the full-power state. Those interrupts may or may not +be used to signal system wakeup events, depending on the hardware design. On +some systems it is impossible to trigger them from system sleep states. In any +case, remote wakeup should always be enabled for runtime power management for +all devices and drivers that support it. + + +:file:`/sys/devices/.../power/control` files +-------------------------------------------- + +Each device in the driver model has a flag to control whether it is subject to +runtime power management. This flag, :c:member:`runtime_auto`, is initialized +by the bus type (or generally subsystem) code using :c:func:`pm_runtime_allow()` +or :c:func:`pm_runtime_forbid()`; the default is to allow runtime power +management. + +The setting can be adjusted by user space by writing either "on" or "auto" to +the device's :file:`power/control` sysfs file. Writing "auto" calls +:c:func:`pm_runtime_allow()`, setting the flag and allowing the device to be +runtime power-managed by its driver. Writing "on" calls +:c:func:`pm_runtime_forbid()`, clearing the flag, returning the device to full +power if it was in a low-power state, and preventing the +device from being runtime power-managed. User space can check the current value +of the :c:member:`runtime_auto` flag by reading that file. + +The device's :c:member:`runtime_auto` flag has no effect on the handling of +system-wide power transitions. In particular, the device can (and in the +majority of cases should and will) be put into a low-power state during a +system-wide transition to a sleep state even though its :c:member:`runtime_auto` +flag is clear. + +For more information about the runtime power management framework, refer to +:file:`Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt`. + + +Calling Drivers to Enter and Leave System Sleep States +====================================================== + +When the system goes into a sleep state, each device's driver is asked to +suspend the device by putting it into a state compatible with the target +system state. That's usually some version of "off", but the details are +system-specific. Also, wakeup-enabled devices will usually stay partly +functional in order to wake the system. + +When the system leaves that low-power state, the device's driver is asked to +resume it by returning it to full power. The suspend and resume operations +always go together, and both are multi-phase operations. + +For simple drivers, suspend might quiesce the device using class code +and then turn its hardware as "off" as possible during suspend_noirq. The +matching resume calls would then completely reinitialize the hardware +before reactivating its class I/O queues. + +More power-aware drivers might prepare the devices for triggering system wakeup +events. + + +Call Sequence Guarantees +------------------------ + +To ensure that bridges and similar links needing to talk to a device are +available when the device is suspended or resumed, the device hierarchy is +walked in a bottom-up order to suspend devices. A top-down order is +used to resume those devices. + +The ordering of the device hierarchy is defined by the order in which devices +get registered: a child can never be registered, probed or resumed before +its parent; and can't be removed or suspended after that parent. + +The policy is that the device hierarchy should match hardware bus topology. +[Or at least the control bus, for devices which use multiple busses.] +In particular, this means that a device registration may fail if the parent of +the device is suspending (i.e. has been chosen by the PM core as the next +device to suspend) or has already suspended, as well as after all of the other +devices have been suspended. Device drivers must be prepared to cope with such +situations. + + +System Power Management Phases +------------------------------ + +Suspending or resuming the system is done in several phases. Different phases +are used for suspend-to-idle, shallow (standby), and deep ("suspend-to-RAM") +sleep states and the hibernation state ("suspend-to-disk"). Each phase involves +executing callbacks for every device before the next phase begins. Not all +buses or classes support all these callbacks and not all drivers use all the +callbacks. The various phases always run after tasks have been frozen and +before they are unfrozen. Furthermore, the ``*_noirq phases`` run at a time +when IRQ handlers have been disabled (except for those marked with the +IRQF_NO_SUSPEND flag). + +All phases use PM domain, bus, type, class or driver callbacks (that is, methods +defined in ``dev->pm_domain->ops``, ``dev->bus->pm``, ``dev->type->pm``, +``dev->class->pm`` or ``dev->driver->pm``). These callbacks are regarded by the +PM core as mutually exclusive. Moreover, PM domain callbacks always take +precedence over all of the other callbacks and, for example, type callbacks take +precedence over bus, class and driver callbacks. To be precise, the following +rules are used to determine which callback to execute in the given phase: + + 1. If ``dev->pm_domain`` is present, the PM core will choose the callback + provided by ``dev->pm_domain->ops`` for execution. + + 2. Otherwise, if both ``dev->type`` and ``dev->type->pm`` are present, the + callback provided by ``dev->type->pm`` will be chosen for execution. + + 3. Otherwise, if both ``dev->class`` and ``dev->class->pm`` are present, + the callback provided by ``dev->class->pm`` will be chosen for + execution. + + 4. Otherwise, if both ``dev->bus`` and ``dev->bus->pm`` are present, the + callback provided by ``dev->bus->pm`` will be chosen for execution. + +This allows PM domains and device types to override callbacks provided by bus +types or device classes if necessary. + +The PM domain, type, class and bus callbacks may in turn invoke device- or +driver-specific methods stored in ``dev->driver->pm``, but they don't have to do +that. + +If the subsystem callback chosen for execution is not present, the PM core will +execute the corresponding method from the ``dev->driver->pm`` set instead if +there is one. + + +Entering System Suspend +----------------------- + +When the system goes into the freeze, standby or memory sleep state, +the phases are: ``prepare``, ``suspend``, ``suspend_late``, ``suspend_noirq``. + + 1. The ``prepare`` phase is meant to prevent races by preventing new + devices from being registered; the PM core would never know that all the + children of a device had been suspended if new children could be + registered at will. [By contrast, from the PM core's perspective, + devices may be unregistered at any time.] Unlike the other + suspend-related phases, during the ``prepare`` phase the device + hierarchy is traversed top-down. + + After the ``->prepare`` callback method returns, no new children may be + registered below the device. The method may also prepare the device or + driver in some way for the upcoming system power transition, but it + should not put the device into a low-power state. + + For devices supporting runtime power management, the return value of the + prepare callback can be used to indicate to the PM core that it may + safely leave the device in runtime suspend (if runtime-suspended + already), provided that all of the device's descendants are also left in + runtime suspend. Namely, if the prepare callback returns a positive + number and that happens for all of the descendants of the device too, + and all of them (including the device itself) are runtime-suspended, the + PM core will skip the ``suspend``, ``suspend_late`` and + ``suspend_noirq`` phases as well as all of the corresponding phases of + the subsequent device resume for all of these devices. In that case, + the ``->complete`` callback will be invoked directly after the + ``->prepare`` callback and is entirely responsible for putting the + device into a consistent state as appropriate. + + Note that this direct-complete procedure applies even if the device is + disabled for runtime PM; only the runtime-PM status matters. It follows + that if a device has system-sleep callbacks but does not support runtime + PM, then its prepare callback must never return a positive value. This + is because all such devices are initially set to runtime-suspended with + runtime PM disabled. + + 2. The ``->suspend`` methods should quiesce the device to stop it from + performing I/O. They also may save the device registers and put it into + the appropriate low-power state, depending on the bus type the device is + on, and they may enable wakeup events. + + 3. For a number of devices it is convenient to split suspend into the + "quiesce device" and "save device state" phases, in which cases + ``suspend_late`` is meant to do the latter. It is always executed after + runtime power management has been disabled for the device in question. + + 4. The ``suspend_noirq`` phase occurs after IRQ handlers have been disabled, + which means that the driver's interrupt handler will not be called while + the callback method is running. The ``->suspend_noirq`` methods should + save the values of the device's registers that weren't saved previously + and finally put the device into the appropriate low-power state. + + The majority of subsystems and device drivers need not implement this + callback. However, bus types allowing devices to share interrupt + vectors, like PCI, generally need it; otherwise a driver might encounter + an error during the suspend phase by fielding a shared interrupt + generated by some other device after its own device had been set to low + power. + +At the end of these phases, drivers should have stopped all I/O transactions +(DMA, IRQs), saved enough state that they can re-initialize or restore previous +state (as needed by the hardware), and placed the device into a low-power state. +On many platforms they will gate off one or more clock sources; sometimes they +will also switch off power supplies or reduce voltages. [Drivers supporting +runtime PM may already have performed some or all of these steps.] + +If :c:func:`device_may_wakeup(dev)` returns ``true``, the device should be +prepared for generating hardware wakeup signals to trigger a system wakeup event +when the system is in the sleep state. For example, :c:func:`enable_irq_wake()` +might identify GPIO signals hooked up to a switch or other external hardware, +and :c:func:`pci_enable_wake()` does something similar for the PCI PME signal. + +If any of these callbacks returns an error, the system won't enter the desired +low-power state. Instead, the PM core will unwind its actions by resuming all +the devices that were suspended. + + +Leaving System Suspend +---------------------- + +When resuming from freeze, standby or memory sleep, the phases are: +``resume_noirq``, ``resume_early``, ``resume``, ``complete``. + + 1. The ``->resume_noirq`` callback methods should perform any actions + needed before the driver's interrupt handlers are invoked. This + generally means undoing the actions of the ``suspend_noirq`` phase. If + the bus type permits devices to share interrupt vectors, like PCI, the + method should bring the device and its driver into a state in which the + driver can recognize if the device is the source of incoming interrupts, + if any, and handle them correctly. + + For example, the PCI bus type's ``->pm.resume_noirq()`` puts the device + into the full-power state (D0 in the PCI terminology) and restores the + standard configuration registers of the device. Then it calls the + device driver's ``->pm.resume_noirq()`` method to perform device-specific + actions. + + 2. The ``->resume_early`` methods should prepare devices for the execution + of the resume methods. This generally involves undoing the actions of + the preceding ``suspend_late`` phase. + + 3. The ``->resume`` methods should bring the device back to its operating + state, so that it can perform normal I/O. This generally involves + undoing the actions of the ``suspend`` phase. + + 4. The ``complete`` phase should undo the actions of the ``prepare`` phase. + For this reason, unlike the other resume-related phases, during the + ``complete`` phase the device hierarchy is traversed bottom-up. + + Note, however, that new children may be registered below the device as + soon as the ``->resume`` callbacks occur; it's not necessary to wait + until the ``complete`` phase with that. + + Moreover, if the preceding ``->prepare`` callback returned a positive + number, the device may have been left in runtime suspend throughout the + whole system suspend and resume (the ``suspend``, ``suspend_late``, + ``suspend_noirq`` phases of system suspend and the ``resume_noirq``, + ``resume_early``, ``resume`` phases of system resume may have been + skipped for it). In that case, the ``->complete`` callback is entirely + responsible for putting the device into a consistent state after system + suspend if necessary. [For example, it may need to queue up a runtime + resume request for the device for this purpose.] To check if that is + the case, the ``->complete`` callback can consult the device's + ``power.direct_complete`` flag. Namely, if that flag is set when the + ``->complete`` callback is being run, it has been called directly after + the preceding ``->prepare`` and special actions may be required + to make the device work correctly afterward. + +At the end of these phases, drivers should be as functional as they were before +suspending: I/O can be performed using DMA and IRQs, and the relevant clocks are +gated on. + +However, the details here may again be platform-specific. For example, +some systems support multiple "run" states, and the mode in effect at +the end of resume might not be the one which preceded suspension. +That means availability of certain clocks or power supplies changed, +which could easily affect how a driver works. + +Drivers need to be able to handle hardware which has been reset since all of the +suspend methods were called, for example by complete reinitialization. +This may be the hardest part, and the one most protected by NDA'd documents +and chip errata. It's simplest if the hardware state hasn't changed since +the suspend was carried out, but that can only be guaranteed if the target +system sleep entered was suspend-to-idle. For the other system sleep states +that may not be the case (and usually isn't for ACPI-defined system sleep +states, like S3). + +Drivers must also be prepared to notice that the device has been removed +while the system was powered down, whenever that's physically possible. +PCMCIA, MMC, USB, Firewire, SCSI, and even IDE are common examples of busses +where common Linux platforms will see such removal. Details of how drivers +will notice and handle such removals are currently bus-specific, and often +involve a separate thread. + +These callbacks may return an error value, but the PM core will ignore such +errors since there's nothing it can do about them other than printing them in +the system log. + + +Entering Hibernation +-------------------- + +Hibernating the system is more complicated than putting it into sleep states, +because it involves creating and saving a system image. Therefore there are +more phases for hibernation, with a different set of callbacks. These phases +always run after tasks have been frozen and enough memory has been freed. + +The general procedure for hibernation is to quiesce all devices ("freeze"), +create an image of the system memory while everything is stable, reactivate all +devices ("thaw"), write the image to permanent storage, and finally shut down +the system ("power off"). The phases used to accomplish this are: ``prepare``, +``freeze``, ``freeze_late``, ``freeze_noirq``, ``thaw_noirq``, ``thaw_early``, +``thaw``, ``complete``, ``prepare``, ``poweroff``, ``poweroff_late``, +``poweroff_noirq``. + + 1. The ``prepare`` phase is discussed in the "Entering System Suspend" + section above. + + 2. The ``->freeze`` methods should quiesce the device so that it doesn't + generate IRQs or DMA, and they may need to save the values of device + registers. However the device does not have to be put in a low-power + state, and to save time it's best not to do so. Also, the device should + not be prepared to generate wakeup events. + + 3. The ``freeze_late`` phase is analogous to the ``suspend_late`` phase + described earlier, except that the device should not be put into a + low-power state and should not be allowed to generate wakeup events. + + 4. The ``freeze_noirq`` phase is analogous to the ``suspend_noirq`` phase + discussed earlier, except again that the device should not be put into + a low-power state and should not be allowed to generate wakeup events. + +At this point the system image is created. All devices should be inactive and +the contents of memory should remain undisturbed while this happens, so that the +image forms an atomic snapshot of the system state. + + 5. The ``thaw_noirq`` phase is analogous to the ``resume_noirq`` phase + discussed earlier. The main difference is that its methods can assume + the device is in the same state as at the end of the ``freeze_noirq`` + phase. + + 6. The ``thaw_early`` phase is analogous to the ``resume_early`` phase + described above. Its methods should undo the actions of the preceding + ``freeze_late``, if necessary. + + 7. The ``thaw`` phase is analogous to the ``resume`` phase discussed + earlier. Its methods should bring the device back to an operating + state, so that it can be used for saving the image if necessary. + + 8. The ``complete`` phase is discussed in the "Leaving System Suspend" + section above. + +At this point the system image is saved, and the devices then need to be +prepared for the upcoming system shutdown. This is much like suspending them +before putting the system into the suspend-to-idle, shallow or deep sleep state, +and the phases are similar. + + 9. The ``prepare`` phase is discussed above. + + 10. The ``poweroff`` phase is analogous to the ``suspend`` phase. + + 11. The ``poweroff_late`` phase is analogous to the ``suspend_late`` phase. + + 12. The ``poweroff_noirq`` phase is analogous to the ``suspend_noirq`` phase. + +The ``->poweroff``, ``->poweroff_late`` and ``->poweroff_noirq`` callbacks +should do essentially the same things as the ``->suspend``, ``->suspend_late`` +and ``->suspend_noirq`` callbacks, respectively. The only notable difference is +that they need not store the device register values, because the registers +should already have been stored during the ``freeze``, ``freeze_late`` or +``freeze_noirq`` phases. + + +Leaving Hibernation +------------------- + +Resuming from hibernation is, again, more complicated than resuming from a sleep +state in which the contents of main memory are preserved, because it requires +a system image to be loaded into memory and the pre-hibernation memory contents +to be restored before control can be passed back to the image kernel. + +Although in principle the image might be loaded into memory and the +pre-hibernation memory contents restored by the boot loader, in practice this +can't be done because boot loaders aren't smart enough and there is no +established protocol for passing the necessary information. So instead, the +boot loader loads a fresh instance of the kernel, called "the restore kernel", +into memory and passes control to it in the usual way. Then the restore kernel +reads the system image, restores the pre-hibernation memory contents, and passes +control to the image kernel. Thus two different kernel instances are involved +in resuming from hibernation. In fact, the restore kernel may be completely +different from the image kernel: a different configuration and even a different +version. This has important consequences for device drivers and their +subsystems. + +To be able to load the system image into memory, the restore kernel needs to +include at least a subset of device drivers allowing it to access the storage +medium containing the image, although it doesn't need to include all of the +drivers present in the image kernel. After the image has been loaded, the +devices managed by the boot kernel need to be prepared for passing control back +to the image kernel. This is very similar to the initial steps involved in +creating a system image, and it is accomplished in the same way, using +``prepare``, ``freeze``, and ``freeze_noirq`` phases. However, the devices +affected by these phases are only those having drivers in the restore kernel; +other devices will still be in whatever state the boot loader left them. + +Should the restoration of the pre-hibernation memory contents fail, the restore +kernel would go through the "thawing" procedure described above, using the +``thaw_noirq``, ``thaw_early``, ``thaw``, and ``complete`` phases, and then +continue running normally. This happens only rarely. Most often the +pre-hibernation memory contents are restored successfully and control is passed +to the image kernel, which then becomes responsible for bringing the system back +to the working state. + +To achieve this, the image kernel must restore the devices' pre-hibernation +functionality. The operation is much like waking up from a sleep state (with +the memory contents preserved), although it involves different phases: +``restore_noirq``, ``restore_early``, ``restore``, ``complete``. + + 1. The ``restore_noirq`` phase is analogous to the ``resume_noirq`` phase. + + 2. The ``restore_early`` phase is analogous to the ``resume_early`` phase. + + 3. The ``restore`` phase is analogous to the ``resume`` phase. + + 4. The ``complete`` phase is discussed above. + +The main difference from ``resume[_early|_noirq]`` is that +``restore[_early|_noirq]`` must assume the device has been accessed and +reconfigured by the boot loader or the restore kernel. Consequently, the state +of the device may be different from the state remembered from the ``freeze``, +``freeze_late`` and ``freeze_noirq`` phases. The device may even need to be +reset and completely re-initialized. In many cases this difference doesn't +matter, so the ``->resume[_early|_noirq]`` and ``->restore[_early|_norq]`` +method pointers can be set to the same routines. Nevertheless, different +callback pointers are used in case there is a situation where it actually does +matter. + + +Power Management Notifiers +========================== + +There are some operations that cannot be carried out by the power management +callbacks discussed above, because the callbacks occur too late or too early. +To handle these cases, subsystems and device drivers may register power +management notifiers that are called before tasks are frozen and after they have +been thawed. Generally speaking, the PM notifiers are suitable for performing +actions that either require user space to be available, or at least won't +interfere with user space. + +For details refer to :doc:`notifiers`. + + +Device Low-Power (suspend) States +================================= + +Device low-power states aren't standard. One device might only handle +"on" and "off", while another might support a dozen different versions of +"on" (how many engines are active?), plus a state that gets back to "on" +faster than from a full "off". + +Some buses define rules about what different suspend states mean. PCI +gives one example: after the suspend sequence completes, a non-legacy +PCI device may not perform DMA or issue IRQs, and any wakeup events it +issues would be issued through the PME# bus signal. Plus, there are +several PCI-standard device states, some of which are optional. + +In contrast, integrated system-on-chip processors often use IRQs as the +wakeup event sources (so drivers would call :c:func:`enable_irq_wake`) and +might be able to treat DMA completion as a wakeup event (sometimes DMA can stay +active too, it'd only be the CPU and some peripherals that sleep). + +Some details here may be platform-specific. Systems may have devices that +can be fully active in certain sleep states, such as an LCD display that's +refreshed using DMA while most of the system is sleeping lightly ... and +its frame buffer might even be updated by a DSP or other non-Linux CPU while +the Linux control processor stays idle. + +Moreover, the specific actions taken may depend on the target system state. +One target system state might allow a given device to be very operational; +another might require a hard shut down with re-initialization on resume. +And two different target systems might use the same device in different +ways; the aforementioned LCD might be active in one product's "standby", +but a different product using the same SOC might work differently. + + +Device Power Management Domains +=============================== + +Sometimes devices share reference clocks or other power resources. In those +cases it generally is not possible to put devices into low-power states +individually. Instead, a set of devices sharing a power resource can be put +into a low-power state together at the same time by turning off the shared +power resource. Of course, they also need to be put into the full-power state +together, by turning the shared power resource on. A set of devices with this +property is often referred to as a power domain. A power domain may also be +nested inside another power domain. The nested domain is referred to as the +sub-domain of the parent domain. + +Support for power domains is provided through the :c:member:`pm_domain` field of +|struct device|. This field is a pointer to an object of type +|struct dev_pm_domain|, defined in :file:`include/linux/pm.h``, providing a set +of power management callbacks analogous to the subsystem-level and device driver +callbacks that are executed for the given device during all power transitions, +instead of the respective subsystem-level callbacks. Specifically, if a +device's :c:member:`pm_domain` pointer is not NULL, the ``->suspend()`` callback +from the object pointed to by it will be executed instead of its subsystem's +(e.g. bus type's) ``->suspend()`` callback and analogously for all of the +remaining callbacks. In other words, power management domain callbacks, if +defined for the given device, always take precedence over the callbacks provided +by the device's subsystem (e.g. bus type). + +The support for device power management domains is only relevant to platforms +needing to use the same device driver power management callbacks in many +different power domain configurations and wanting to avoid incorporating the +support for power domains into subsystem-level callbacks, for example by +modifying the platform bus type. Other platforms need not implement it or take +it into account in any way. + +Devices may be defined as IRQ-safe which indicates to the PM core that their +runtime PM callbacks may be invoked with disabled interrupts (see +:file:`Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt` for more information). If an +IRQ-safe device belongs to a PM domain, the runtime PM of the domain will be +disallowed, unless the domain itself is defined as IRQ-safe. However, it +makes sense to define a PM domain as IRQ-safe only if all the devices in it +are IRQ-safe. Moreover, if an IRQ-safe domain has a parent domain, the runtime +PM of the parent is only allowed if the parent itself is IRQ-safe too with the +additional restriction that all child domains of an IRQ-safe parent must also +be IRQ-safe. + + +Runtime Power Management +======================== + +Many devices are able to dynamically power down while the system is still +running. This feature is useful for devices that are not being used, and +can offer significant power savings on a running system. These devices +often support a range of runtime power states, which might use names such +as "off", "sleep", "idle", "active", and so on. Those states will in some +cases (like PCI) be partially constrained by the bus the device uses, and will +usually include hardware states that are also used in system sleep states. + +A system-wide power transition can be started while some devices are in low +power states due to runtime power management. The system sleep PM callbacks +should recognize such situations and react to them appropriately, but the +necessary actions are subsystem-specific. + +In some cases the decision may be made at the subsystem level while in other +cases the device driver may be left to decide. In some cases it may be +desirable to leave a suspended device in that state during a system-wide power +transition, but in other cases the device must be put back into the full-power +state temporarily, for example so that its system wakeup capability can be +disabled. This all depends on the hardware and the design of the subsystem and +device driver in question. + +During system-wide resume from a sleep state it's easiest to put devices into +the full-power state, as explained in :file:`Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt`. +Refer to that document for more information regarding this particular issue as +well as for information on the device runtime power management framework in +general. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/pm/index.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/pm/index.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..2f6d0e9cf6b7 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/pm/index.rst @@ -0,0 +1,16 @@ +======================= +Device Power Management +======================= + +.. toctree:: + + devices + notifiers + types + +.. only:: subproject and html + + Indices + ======= + + * :ref:`genindex` diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/pm/notifiers.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/pm/notifiers.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..62f860026992 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/pm/notifiers.rst @@ -0,0 +1,70 @@ +============================= +Suspend/Hibernation Notifiers +============================= + +:: + + Copyright (c) 2016 Intel Corp., Rafael J.

This applies to +both voltage regulators (where voltage output is controllable) and +current sinks (where current limit is controllable). + +Note that additional (and currently more complete) documentation is +available in the Linux kernel source under +``Documentation/power/regulator``. + +Glossary +-------- + +The regulator API uses a number of terms which may not be familiar: + +Regulator + + Electronic device that supplies power to other devices. Most regulators + can enable and disable their output and some can also control their + output voltage or current. + +Consumer + + Electronic device which consumes power provided by a regulator. These + may either be static, requiring only a fixed supply, or dynamic, + requiring active management of the regulator at runtime. + +Power Domain + + The electronic circuit supplied by a given regulator, including the + regulator and all consumer devices. The configuration of the regulator + is shared between all the components in the circuit. + +Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) + + An IC which contains numerous regulators and often also other + subsystems. In an embedded system the primary PMIC is often equivalent + to a combination of the PSU and southbridge in a desktop system. + +Consumer driver interface +========================= + +This offers a similar API to the kernel clock framework. Consumer +drivers use `get <#API-regulator-get>`__ and +`put <#API-regulator-put>`__ operations to acquire and release +regulators. Functions are provided to `enable <#API-regulator-enable>`__ +and `disable <#API-regulator-disable>`__ the regulator and to get and +set the runtime parameters of the regulator. + +When requesting regulators consumers use symbolic names for their +supplies, such as "Vcc", which are mapped into actual regulator devices +by the machine interface. + +A stub version of this API is provided when the regulator framework is +not in use in order to minimise the need to use ifdefs. + +Enabling and disabling +---------------------- + +The regulator API provides reference counted enabling and disabling of +regulators. Consumer devices use the :c:func:`regulator_enable()` and +:c:func:`regulator_disable()` functions to enable and disable +regulators. Calls to the two functions must be balanced. + +Note that since multiple consumers may be using a regulator and machine +constraints may not allow the regulator to be disabled there is no +guarantee that calling :c:func:`regulator_disable()` will actually +cause the supply provided by the regulator to be disabled. Consumer +drivers should assume that the regulator may be enabled at all times. + +Configuration +------------- + +Some consumer devices may need to be able to dynamically configure their +supplies. For example, MMC drivers may need to select the correct +operating voltage for their cards. This may be done while the regulator +is enabled or disabled. + +The :c:func:`regulator_set_voltage()` and +:c:func:`regulator_set_current_limit()` functions provide the primary +interface for this.

Read it as -background for the domain-specific work you'd do with any specific driver. - - -Two Models for Device Power Management -====================================== -Drivers will use one or both of these models to put devices into low-power -states: - - System Sleep model: - Drivers can enter low-power states as part of entering system-wide - low-power states like "suspend" (also known as "suspend-to-RAM"), or - (mostly for systems with disks) "hibernation" (also known as - "suspend-to-disk"). - - This is something that device, bus, and class drivers collaborate on - by implementing various role-specific suspend and resume methods to - cleanly power down hardware and software subsystems, then reactivate - them without loss of data. - - Some drivers can manage hardware wakeup events, which make the system - leave the low-power state. This feature may be enabled or disabled - using the relevant /sys/devices/.../power/wakeup file (for Ethernet - drivers the ioctl interface used by ethtool may also be used for this - purpose); enabling it may cost some power usage, but let the whole - system enter low-power states more often. - - Runtime Power Management model: - Devices may also be put into low-power states while the system is - running, independently of other power management activity in principle. - However, devices are not generally independent of each other (for - example, a parent device cannot be suspended unless all of its child - devices have been suspended). Moreover, depending on the bus type the - device is on, it may be necessary to carry out some bus-specific - operations on the device for this purpose. Devices put into low power - states at run time may require special handling during system-wide power - transitions (suspend or hibernation). - - For these reasons not only the device driver itself, but also the - appropriate subsystem (bus type, device type or device class) driver and - the PM core are involved in runtime power management. As in the system - sleep power management case, they need to collaborate by implementing - various role-specific suspend and resume methods, so that the hardware - is cleanly powered down and reactivated without data or service loss. - -There's not a lot to be said about those low-power states except that they are -very system-specific, and often device-specific. Also, that if enough devices -have been put into low-power states (at runtime), the effect may be very similar -to entering some system-wide low-power state (system sleep) ... and that -synergies exist, so that several drivers using runtime PM might put the system -into a state where even deeper power saving options are available. - -Most suspended devices will have quiesced all I/O: no more DMA or IRQs (except -for wakeup events), no more data read or written, and requests from upstream -drivers are no longer accepted. A given bus or platform may have different -requirements though. - -Examples of hardware wakeup events include an alarm from a real time clock, -network wake-on-LAN packets, keyboard or mouse activity, and media insertion -or removal (for PCMCIA, MMC/SD, USB, and so on). - - -Interfaces for Entering System Sleep States -=========================================== -There are programming interfaces provided for subsystems (bus type, device type, -device class) and device drivers to allow them to participate in the power -management of devices they are concerned with. These interfaces cover both -system sleep and runtime power management. - - -Device Power Management Operations ----------------------------------- -Device power management operations, at the subsystem level as well as at the -device driver level, are implemented by defining and populating objects of type -struct dev_pm_ops: - -struct dev_pm_ops { - int (*prepare)(struct device *dev); - void (*complete)(struct device *dev); - int (*suspend)(struct device *dev); - int (*resume)(struct device *dev); - int (*freeze)(struct device *dev); - int (*thaw)(struct device *dev); - int (*poweroff)(struct device *dev); - int (*restore)(struct device *dev); - int (*suspend_late)(struct device *dev); - int (*resume_early)(struct device *dev); - int (*freeze_late)(struct device *dev); - int (*thaw_early)(struct device *dev); - int (*poweroff_late)(struct device *dev); - int (*restore_early)(struct device *dev); - int (*suspend_noirq)(struct device *dev); - int (*resume_noirq)(struct device *dev); - int (*freeze_noirq)(struct device *dev); - int (*thaw_noirq)(struct device *dev); - int (*poweroff_noirq)(struct device *dev); - int (*restore_noirq)(struct device *dev); - int (*runtime_suspend)(struct device *dev); - int (*runtime_resume)(struct device *dev); - int (*runtime_idle)(struct device *dev); -}; - -This structure is defined in include/linux/pm.h and the methods included in it -are also described in that file. Their roles will be explained in what follows. -For now, it should be sufficient to remember that the last three methods are -specific to runtime power management while the remaining ones are used during -system-wide power transitions. - -There also is a deprecated "old" or "legacy" interface for power management -operations available at least for some subsystems. This approach does not use -struct dev_pm_ops objects and it is suitable only for implementing system sleep -power management methods. Therefore it is not described in this document, so -please refer directly to the source code for more information about it. - - -Subsystem-Level Methods ------------------------ -The core methods to suspend and resume devices reside in struct dev_pm_ops -pointed to by the ops member of struct dev_pm_domain, or by the pm member of -struct bus_type, struct device_type and struct class. They are mostly of -interest to the people writing infrastructure for platforms and buses, like PCI -or USB, or device type and device class drivers. They also are relevant to the -writers of device drivers whose subsystems (PM domains, device types, device -classes and bus types) don't provide all power management methods. - -Bus drivers implement these methods as appropriate for the hardware and the -drivers using it; PCI works differently from USB, and so on. Not many people -write subsystem-level drivers; most driver code is a "device driver" that builds -on top of bus-specific framework code. - -For more information on these driver calls, see the description later; -they are called in phases for every device, respecting the parent-child -sequencing in the driver model tree. - - -/sys/devices/.../power/wakeup files ------------------------------------ -All device objects in the driver model contain fields that control the handling -of system wakeup events (hardware signals that can force the system out of a -sleep state). These fields are initialized by bus or device driver code using -device_set_wakeup_capable() and device_set_wakeup_enable(), defined in -include/linux/pm_wakeup.h. - -The "power.can_wakeup" flag just records whether the device (and its driver) can -physically support wakeup events. The device_set_wakeup_capable() routine -affects this flag. The "power.wakeup" field is a pointer to an object of type -struct wakeup_source used for controlling whether or not the device should use -its system wakeup mechanism and for notifying the PM core of system wakeup -events signaled by the device. This object is only present for wakeup-capable -devices (i.e. devices whose "can_wakeup" flags are set) and is created (or -removed) by device_set_wakeup_capable(). - -Whether or not a device is capable of issuing wakeup events is a hardware -matter, and the kernel is responsible for keeping track of it. By contrast, -whether or not a wakeup-capable device should issue wakeup events is a policy -decision, and it is managed by user space through a sysfs attribute: the -"power/wakeup" file. User space can write the strings "enabled" or "disabled" -to it to indicate whether or not, respectively, the device is supposed to signal -system wakeup. This file is only present if the "power.wakeup" object exists -for the given device and is created (or removed) along with that object, by -device_set_wakeup_capable(). Reads from the file will return the corresponding -string. - -The "power/wakeup" file is supposed to contain the "disabled" string initially -for the majority of devices; the major exceptions are power buttons, keyboards, -and Ethernet adapters whose WoL (wake-on-LAN) feature has been set up with -ethtool. It should also default to "enabled" for devices that don't generate -wakeup requests on their own but merely forward wakeup requests from one bus to -another (like PCI Express ports). - -The device_may_wakeup() routine returns true only if the "power.wakeup" object -exists and the corresponding "power/wakeup" file contains the string "enabled". -This information is used by subsystems, like the PCI bus type code, to see -whether or not to enable the devices' wakeup mechanisms. If device wakeup -mechanisms are enabled or disabled directly by drivers, they also should use -device_may_wakeup() to decide what to do during a system sleep transition. -Device drivers, however, are not supposed to call device_set_wakeup_enable() -directly in any case. - -It ought to be noted that system wakeup is conceptually different from "remote -wakeup" used by runtime power management, although it may be supported by the -same physical mechanism. Remote wakeup is a feature allowing devices in -low-power states to trigger specific interrupts to signal conditions in which -they should be put into the full-power state. Those interrupts may or may not -be used to signal system wakeup events, depending on the hardware design. On -some systems it is impossible to trigger them from system sleep states. In any -case, remote wakeup should always be enabled for runtime power management for -all devices and drivers that support it. - -/sys/devices/.../power/control files ------------------------------------- -Each device in the driver model has a flag to control whether it is subject to -runtime power management. This flag, called runtime_auto, is initialized by the -bus type (or generally subsystem) code using pm_runtime_allow() or -pm_runtime_forbid(); the default is to allow runtime power management. - -The setting can be adjusted by user space by writing either "on" or "auto" to -the device's power/control sysfs file. Writing "auto" calls pm_runtime_allow(), -setting the flag and allowing the device to be runtime power-managed by its -driver. Writing "on" calls pm_runtime_forbid(), clearing the flag, returning -the device to full power if it was in a low-power state, and preventing the -device from being runtime power-managed. User space can check the current value -of the runtime_auto flag by reading the file. - -The device's runtime_auto flag has no effect on the handling of system-wide -power transitions. In particular, the device can (and in the majority of cases -should and will) be put into a low-power state during a system-wide transition -to a sleep state even though its runtime_auto flag is clear. - -For more information about the runtime power management framework, refer to -Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt. - - -Calling Drivers to Enter and Leave System Sleep States -====================================================== -When the system goes into a sleep state, each device's driver is asked to -suspend the device by putting it into a state compatible with the target -system state. That's usually some version of "off", but the details are -system-specific. Also, wakeup-enabled devices will usually stay partly -functional in order to wake the system. - -When the system leaves that low-power state, the device's driver is asked to -resume it by returning it to full power. The suspend and resume operations -always go together, and both are multi-phase operations. - -For simple drivers, suspend might quiesce the device using class code -and then turn its hardware as "off" as possible during suspend_noirq. The -matching resume calls would then completely reinitialize the hardware -before reactivating its class I/O queues. - -More power-aware drivers might prepare the devices for triggering system wakeup -events. - - -Call Sequence Guarantees ------------------------- -To ensure that bridges and similar links needing to talk to a device are -available when the device is suspended or resumed, the device tree is -walked in a bottom-up order to suspend devices. A top-down order is -used to resume those devices. - -The ordering of the device tree is defined by the order in which devices -get registered: a child can never be registered, probed or resumed before -its parent; and can't be removed or suspended after that parent. - -The policy is that the device tree should match hardware bus topology. -(Or at least the control bus, for devices which use multiple busses.) -In particular, this means that a device registration may fail if the parent of -the device is suspending (i.e. has been chosen by the PM core as the next -device to suspend) or has already suspended, as well as after all of the other -devices have been suspended. Device drivers must be prepared to cope with such -situations. - - -System Power Management Phases ------------------------------- -Suspending or resuming the system is done in several phases. Different phases -are used for freeze, standby, and memory sleep states ("suspend-to-RAM") and the -hibernation state ("suspend-to-disk"). Each phase involves executing callbacks -for every device before the next phase begins. Not all busses or classes -support all these callbacks and not all drivers use all the callbacks. The -various phases always run after tasks have been frozen and before they are -unfrozen. Furthermore, the *_noirq phases run at a time when IRQ handlers have -been disabled (except for those marked with the IRQF_NO_SUSPEND flag). - -All phases use PM domain, bus, type, class or driver callbacks (that is, methods -defined in dev->pm_domain->ops, dev->bus->pm, dev->type->pm, dev->class->pm or -dev->driver->pm). These callbacks are regarded by the PM core as mutually -exclusive. Moreover, PM domain callbacks always take precedence over all of the -other callbacks and, for example, type callbacks take precedence over bus, class -and driver callbacks. To be precise, the following rules are used to determine -which callback to execute in the given phase: - - 1. If dev->pm_domain is present, the PM core will choose the callback - included in dev->pm_domain->ops for execution - - 2. Otherwise, if both dev->type and dev->type->pm are present, the callback - included in dev->type->pm will be chosen for execution. - - 3. Otherwise, if both dev->class and dev->class->pm are present, the - callback included in dev->class->pm will be chosen for execution. - - 4. Otherwise, if both dev->bus and dev->bus->pm are present, the callback - included in dev->bus->pm will be chosen for execution. - -This allows PM domains and device types to override callbacks provided by bus -types or device classes if necessary. - -The PM domain, type, class and bus callbacks may in turn invoke device- or -driver-specific methods stored in dev->driver->pm, but they don't have to do -that. - -If the subsystem callback chosen for execution is not present, the PM core will -execute the corresponding method from dev->driver->pm instead if there is one. - - -Entering System Suspend ------------------------ -When the system goes into the freeze, standby or memory sleep state, -the phases are: - - prepare, suspend, suspend_late, suspend_noirq. - - 1. The prepare phase is meant to prevent races by preventing new devices - from being registered; the PM core would never know that all the - children of a device had been suspended if new children could be - registered at will. (By contrast, devices may be unregistered at any - time.) Unlike the other suspend-related phases, during the prepare - phase the device tree is traversed top-down. - - After the prepare callback method returns, no new children may be - registered below the device. The method may also prepare the device or - driver in some way for the upcoming system power transition, but it - should not put the device into a low-power state. - - For devices supporting runtime power management, the return value of the - prepare callback can be used to indicate to the PM core that it may - safely leave the device in runtime suspend (if runtime-suspended - already), provided that all of the device's descendants are also left in - runtime suspend. Namely, if the prepare callback returns a positive - number and that happens for all of the descendants of the device too, - and all of them (including the device itself) are runtime-suspended, the - PM core will skip the suspend, suspend_late and suspend_noirq suspend - phases as well as the resume_noirq, resume_early and resume phases of - the following system resume for all of these devices. In that case, - the complete callback will be called directly after the prepare callback - and is entirely responsible for bringing the device back to the - functional state as appropriate. - - Note that this direct-complete procedure applies even if the device is - disabled for runtime PM; only the runtime-PM status matters. It follows - that if a device has system-sleep callbacks but does not support runtime - PM, then its prepare callback must never return a positive value. This - is because all devices are initially set to runtime-suspended with - runtime PM disabled. - - 2. The suspend methods should quiesce the device to stop it from performing - I/O. They also may save the device registers and put it into the - appropriate low-power state, depending on the bus type the device is on, - and they may enable wakeup events. - - 3 For a number of devices it is convenient to split suspend into the - "quiesce device" and "save device state" phases, in which cases - suspend_late is meant to do the latter. It is always executed after - runtime power management has been disabled for all devices. - - 4. The suspend_noirq phase occurs after IRQ handlers have been disabled, - which means that the driver's interrupt handler will not be called while - the callback method is running. The methods should save the values of - the device's registers that weren't saved previously and finally put the - device into the appropriate low-power state. - - The majority of subsystems and device drivers need not implement this - callback. However, bus types allowing devices to share interrupt - vectors, like PCI, generally need it; otherwise a driver might encounter - an error during the suspend phase by fielding a shared interrupt - generated by some other device after its own device had been set to low - power. - -At the end of these phases, drivers should have stopped all I/O transactions -(DMA, IRQs), saved enough state that they can re-initialize or restore previous -state (as needed by the hardware), and placed the device into a low-power state. -On many platforms they will gate off one or more clock sources; sometimes they -will also switch off power supplies or reduce voltages. (Drivers supporting -runtime PM may already have performed some or all of these steps.) - -If device_may_wakeup(dev) returns true, the device should be prepared for -generating hardware wakeup signals to trigger a system wakeup event when the -system is in the sleep state. For example, enable_irq_wake() might identify -GPIO signals hooked up to a switch or other external hardware, and -pci_enable_wake() does something similar for the PCI PME signal. - -If any of these callbacks returns an error, the system won't enter the desired -low-power state. Instead the PM core will unwind its actions by resuming all -the devices that were suspended. - - -Leaving System Suspend ----------------------- -When resuming from freeze, standby or memory sleep, the phases are: - - resume_noirq, resume_early, resume, complete. - - 1. The resume_noirq callback methods should perform any actions needed - before the driver's interrupt handlers are invoked. This generally - means undoing the actions of the suspend_noirq phase. If the bus type - permits devices to share interrupt vectors, like PCI, the method should - bring the device and its driver into a state in which the driver can - recognize if the device is the source of incoming interrupts, if any, - and handle them correctly. - - For example, the PCI bus type's ->pm.resume_noirq() puts the device into - the full-power state (D0 in the PCI terminology) and restores the - standard configuration registers of the device. Then it calls the - device driver's ->pm.resume_noirq() method to perform device-specific - actions. - - 2. The resume_early methods should prepare devices for the execution of - the resume methods. This generally involves undoing the actions of the - preceding suspend_late phase. - - 3 The resume methods should bring the device back to its operating - state, so that it can perform normal I/O. This generally involves - undoing the actions of the suspend phase. - - 4. The complete phase should undo the actions of the prepare phase. Note, - however, that new children may be registered below the device as soon as - the resume callbacks occur; it's not necessary to wait until the - complete phase. - - Moreover, if the preceding prepare callback returned a positive number, - the device may have been left in runtime suspend throughout the whole - system suspend and resume (the suspend, suspend_late, suspend_noirq - phases of system suspend and the resume_noirq, resume_early, resume - phases of system resume may have been skipped for it). In that case, - the complete callback is entirely responsible for bringing the device - back to the functional state after system suspend if necessary. [For - example, it may need to queue up a runtime resume request for the device - for this purpose.] To check if that is the case, the complete callback - can consult the device's power.direct_complete flag. Namely, if that - flag is set when the complete callback is being run, it has been called - directly after the preceding prepare and special action may be required - to make the device work correctly afterward. - -At the end of these phases, drivers should be as functional as they were before -suspending: I/O can be performed using DMA and IRQs, and the relevant clocks are -gated on. - -However, the details here may again be platform-specific. For example, -some systems support multiple "run" states, and the mode in effect at -the end of resume might not be the one which preceded suspension. -That means availability of certain clocks or power supplies changed, -which could easily affect how a driver works. - -Drivers need to be able to handle hardware which has been reset since the -suspend methods were called, for example by complete reinitialization. -This may be the hardest part, and the one most protected by NDA'd documents -and chip errata. It's simplest if the hardware state hasn't changed since -the suspend was carried out, but that can't be guaranteed (in fact, it usually -is not the case). - -Drivers must also be prepared to notice that the device has been removed -while the system was powered down, whenever that's physically possible. -PCMCIA, MMC, USB, Firewire, SCSI, and even IDE are common examples of busses -where common Linux platforms will see such removal. Details of how drivers -will notice and handle such removals are currently bus-specific, and often -involve a separate thread. - -These callbacks may return an error value, but the PM core will ignore such -errors since there's nothing it can do about them other than printing them in -the system log. - - -Entering Hibernation --------------------- -Hibernating the system is more complicated than putting it into the other -sleep states, because it involves creating and saving a system image. -Therefore there are more phases for hibernation, with a different set of -callbacks. These phases always run after tasks have been frozen and memory has -been freed. - -The general procedure for hibernation is to quiesce all devices (freeze), create -an image of the system memory while everything is stable, reactivate all -devices (thaw), write the image to permanent storage, and finally shut down the -system (poweroff). The phases used to accomplish this are: - - prepare, freeze, freeze_late, freeze_noirq, thaw_noirq, thaw_early, - thaw, complete, prepare, poweroff, poweroff_late, poweroff_noirq - - 1. The prepare phase is discussed in the "Entering System Suspend" section - above. - - 2. The freeze methods should quiesce the device so that it doesn't generate - IRQs or DMA, and they may need to save the values of device registers. - However the device does not have to be put in a low-power state, and to - save time it's best not to do so. Also, the device should not be - prepared to generate wakeup events. - - 3. The freeze_late phase is analogous to the suspend_late phase described - above, except that the device should not be put in a low-power state and - should not be allowed to generate wakeup events by it. - - 4. The freeze_noirq phase is analogous to the suspend_noirq phase discussed - above, except again that the device should not be put in a low-power - state and should not be allowed to generate wakeup events. - -At this point the system image is created. All devices should be inactive and -the contents of memory should remain undisturbed while this happens, so that the -image forms an atomic snapshot of the system state. - - 5. The thaw_noirq phase is analogous to the resume_noirq phase discussed - above. The main difference is that its methods can assume the device is - in the same state as at the end of the freeze_noirq phase. - - 6. The thaw_early phase is analogous to the resume_early phase described - above. Its methods should undo the actions of the preceding - freeze_late, if necessary. - - 7. The thaw phase is analogous to the resume phase discussed above. Its - methods should bring the device back to an operating state, so that it - can be used for saving the image if necessary. - - 8. The complete phase is discussed in the "Leaving System Suspend" section - above. - -At this point the system image is saved, and the devices then need to be -prepared for the upcoming system shutdown. This is much like suspending them -before putting the system into the freeze, standby or memory sleep state, -and the phases are similar. - - 9. The prepare phase is discussed above. - - 10. The poweroff phase is analogous to the suspend phase. - - 11. The poweroff_late phase is analogous to the suspend_late phase. - - 12. The poweroff_noirq phase is analogous to the suspend_noirq phase. - -The poweroff, poweroff_late and poweroff_noirq callbacks should do essentially -the same things as the suspend, suspend_late and suspend_noirq callbacks, -respectively. The only notable difference is that they need not store the -device register values, because the registers should already have been stored -during the freeze, freeze_late or freeze_noirq phases. - - -Leaving Hibernation -------------------- -Resuming from hibernation is, again, more complicated than resuming from a sleep -state in which the contents of main memory are preserved, because it requires -a system image to be loaded into memory and the pre-hibernation memory contents -to be restored before control can be passed back to the image kernel. - -Although in principle, the image might be loaded into memory and the -pre-hibernation memory contents restored by the boot loader, in practice this -can't be done because boot loaders aren't smart enough and there is no -established protocol for passing the necessary information. So instead, the -boot loader loads a fresh instance of the kernel, called the boot kernel, into -memory and passes control to it in the usual way. Then the boot kernel reads -the system image, restores the pre-hibernation memory contents, and passes -control to the image kernel. Thus two different kernels are involved in -resuming from hibernation. In fact, the boot kernel may be completely different -from the image kernel: a different configuration and even a different version. -This has important consequences for device drivers and their subsystems. - -To be able to load the system image into memory, the boot kernel needs to -include at least a subset of device drivers allowing it to access the storage -medium containing the image, although it doesn't need to include all of the -drivers present in the image kernel. After the image has been loaded, the -devices managed by the boot kernel need to be prepared for passing control back -to the image kernel. This is very similar to the initial steps involved in -creating a system image, and it is accomplished in the same way, using prepare, -freeze, and freeze_noirq phases. However the devices affected by these phases -are only those having drivers in the boot kernel; other devices will still be in -whatever state the boot loader left them. - -Should the restoration of the pre-hibernation memory contents fail, the boot -kernel would go through the "thawing" procedure described above, using the -thaw_noirq, thaw, and complete phases, and then continue running normally. This -happens only rarely. Most often the pre-hibernation memory contents are -restored successfully and control is passed to the image kernel, which then -becomes responsible for bringing the system back to the working state. - -To achieve this, the image kernel must restore the devices' pre-hibernation -functionality. The operation is much like waking up from the memory sleep -state, although it involves different phases: - - restore_noirq, restore_early, restore, complete - - 1. The restore_noirq phase is analogous to the resume_noirq phase. - - 2. The restore_early phase is analogous to the resume_early phase. - - 3. The restore phase is analogous to the resume phase. - - 4. The complete phase is discussed above. - -The main difference from resume[_early|_noirq] is that restore[_early|_noirq] -must assume the device has been accessed and reconfigured by the boot loader or -the boot kernel. Consequently the state of the device may be different from the -state remembered from the freeze, freeze_late and freeze_noirq phases. The -device may even need to be reset and completely re-initialized. In many cases -this difference doesn't matter, so the resume[_early|_noirq] and -restore[_early|_norq] method pointers can be set to the same routines. -Nevertheless, different callback pointers are used in case there is a situation -where it actually does matter. - - -Device Power Management Domains -------------------------------- -Sometimes devices share reference clocks or other power resources. In those -cases it generally is not possible to put devices into low-power states -individually. Instead, a set of devices sharing a power resource can be put -into a low-power state together at the same time by turning off the shared -power resource. Of course, they also need to be put into the full-power state -together, by turning the shared power resource on. A set of devices with this -property is often referred to as a power domain. A power domain may also be -nested inside another power domain. The nested domain is referred to as the -sub-domain of the parent domain. - -Support for power domains is provided through the pm_domain field of struct -device. This field is a pointer to an object of type struct dev_pm_domain, -defined in include/linux/pm.h, providing a set of power management callbacks -analogous to the subsystem-level and device driver callbacks that are executed -for the given device during all power transitions, instead of the respective -subsystem-level callbacks. Specifically, if a device's pm_domain pointer is -not NULL, the ->suspend() callback from the object pointed to by it will be -executed instead of its subsystem's (e.g. bus type's) ->suspend() callback and -analogously for all of the remaining callbacks. In other words, power -management domain callbacks, if defined for the given device, always take -precedence over the callbacks provided by the device's subsystem (e.g. bus -type). - -The support for device power management domains is only relevant to platforms -needing to use the same device driver power management callbacks in many -different power domain configurations and wanting to avoid incorporating the -support for power domains into subsystem-level callbacks, for example by -modifying the platform bus type. Other platforms need not implement it or take -it into account in any way. - -Devices may be defined as IRQ-safe which indicates to the PM core that their -runtime PM callbacks may be invoked with disabled interrupts (see -Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt for more information). If an IRQ-safe -device belongs to a PM domain, the runtime PM of the domain will be -disallowed, unless the domain itself is defined as IRQ-safe. However, it -makes sense to define a PM domain as IRQ-safe only if all the devices in it -are IRQ-safe. Moreover, if an IRQ-safe domain has a parent domain, the runtime -PM of the parent is only allowed if the parent itself is IRQ-safe too with the -additional restriction that all child domains of an IRQ-safe parent must also -be IRQ-safe. - -Device Low Power (suspend) States ---------------------------------- -Device low-power states aren't standard. One device might only handle -"on" and "off", while another might support a dozen different versions of -"on" (how many engines are active?), plus a state that gets back to "on" -faster than from a full "off". - -Some busses define rules about what different suspend states mean. PCI -gives one example: after the suspend sequence completes, a non-legacy -PCI device may not perform DMA or issue IRQs, and any wakeup events it -issues would be issued through the PME# bus signal. Plus, there are -several PCI-standard device states, some of which are optional. - -In contrast, integrated system-on-chip processors often use IRQs as the -wakeup event sources (so drivers would call enable_irq_wake) and might -be able to treat DMA completion as a wakeup event (sometimes DMA can stay -active too, it'd only be the CPU and some peripherals that sleep). - -Some details here may be platform-specific. Systems may have devices that -can be fully active in certain sleep states, such as an LCD display that's -refreshed using DMA while most of the system is sleeping lightly ... and -its frame buffer might even be updated by a DSP or other non-Linux CPU while -the Linux control processor stays idle. - -Moreover, the specific actions taken may depend on the target system state. -One target system state might allow a given device to be very operational; -another might require a hard shut down with re-initialization on resume. -And two different target systems might use the same device in different -ways; the aforementioned LCD might be active in one product's "standby", -but a different product using the same SOC might work differently. - - -Power Management Notifiers --------------------------- -There are some operations that cannot be carried out by the power management -callbacks discussed above, because the callbacks occur too late or too early. -To handle these cases, subsystems and device drivers may register power -management notifiers that are called before tasks are frozen and after they have -been thawed. Generally speaking, the PM notifiers are suitable for performing -actions that either require user space to be available, or at least won't -interfere with user space. - -For details refer to Documentation/power/notifiers.txt. - - -Runtime Power Management -======================== -Many devices are able to dynamically power down while the system is still -running. This feature is useful for devices that are not being used, and -can offer significant power savings on a running system. These devices -often support a range of runtime power states, which might use names such -as "off", "sleep", "idle", "active", and so on. Those states will in some -cases (like PCI) be partially constrained by the bus the device uses, and will -usually include hardware states that are also used in system sleep states. - -A system-wide power transition can be started while some devices are in low -power states due to runtime power management. The system sleep PM callbacks -should recognize such situations and react to them appropriately, but the -necessary actions are subsystem-specific. - -In some cases the decision may be made at the subsystem level while in other -cases the device driver may be left to decide. In some cases it may be -desirable to leave a suspended device in that state during a system-wide power -transition, but in other cases the device must be put back into the full-power -state temporarily, for example so that its system wakeup capability can be -disabled. This all depends on the hardware and the design of the subsystem and -device driver in question. - -During system-wide resume from a sleep state it's easiest to put devices into -the full-power state, as explained in Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt. Refer -to that document for more information regarding this particular issue as well as -for information on the device runtime power management framework in general. diff --git a/Documentation/power/freezing-of-tasks.txt b/Documentation/power/freezing-of-tasks.txt index 85894d83b352..af005770e767 100644 --- a/Documentation/power/freezing-of-tasks.txt +++ b/Documentation/power/freezing-of-tasks.txt @@ -197,7 +197,8 @@ tasks, since it generally exists anyway.

If the driver callbacks are executed, they + * have to collaborate with the subsystem-level callbacks to achieve the goals + * appropriate for the given system transition, given transition phase and the + * subsystem the device belongs to. + * + * All of the above callbacks, except for @complete(), return error codes. + * However, the error codes returned by @resume(), @thaw(), @restore(), + * @resume_noirq(), @thaw_noirq(), and @restore_noirq(), do not cause the PM + * core to abort the resume transition during which they are returned. The + * error codes returned in those cases are only printed to the system logs for + * debugging purposes. Still, it is recommended that drivers only return error + * codes from their resume methods in case of an unrecoverable failure (i.e. + * when the device being handled refuses to resume and becomes unusable) to + * allow the PM core to be modified in the future, so that it can avoid + * attempting to handle devices that failed to resume and their children. + * + * It is allowed to unregister devices while the above callbacks are being + * executed. However, a callback routine MUST NOT try to unregister the device + * it was called for, although it may unregister children of that device (for + * example, if it detects that a child was unplugged while the system was + * asleep). + * + * There also are callbacks related to runtime power management of devices. + * Again, as a rule these callbacks are executed by the PM core for subsystems + * (PM domains, device types, classes and bus types) and the subsystem-level + * callbacks are expected to invoke the driver callbacks. Moreover, the exact + * actions to be performed by a device driver's callbacks generally depend on + * the platform and subsystem the device belongs to. + * + * Refer to Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt for more information about the + * role of the @runtime_suspend(), @runtime_resume() and @runtime_idle() + * callbacks in device runtime power management. */ - struct dev_pm_ops { int (*prepare)(struct device *dev); void (*complete)(struct device *dev); @@ -391,7 +386,7 @@ const struct dev_pm_ops name = { \ SET_RUNTIME_PM_OPS(suspend_fn, resume_fn, idle_fn) \ } -/** +/* * PM_EVENT_ messages * * The following PM_EVENT_ messages are defined for the internal use of the PM @@ -487,7 +482,7 @@ const struct dev_pm_ops name = { \ #define PMSG_IS_AUTO(msg) (((msg).event & PM_EVENT_AUTO) != 0) -/** +/* * Device run-time power management status. * * These status labels are used internally by the PM core to indicate the @@ -517,7 +512,7 @@ enum rpm_status { RPM_SUSPENDING, }; -/** +/* * Device run-time power management request types. * * RPM_REQ_NONE Do nothing. @@ -616,15 +611,18 @@ extern void update_pm_runtime_accounting(struct device *dev); extern int dev_pm_get_subsys_data(struct device *dev); extern void dev_pm_put_subsys_data(struct device *dev); -/* - * Power domains provide callbacks that are executed during system suspend, - * hibernation, system resume and during runtime PM transitions along with - * subsystem-level and driver-level callbacks. +/** + * struct dev_pm_domain - power management domain representation. * + * @ops: Power management operations associated with this domain. * @detach: Called when removing a device from the domain. * @activate: Called before executing probe routines for bus types and drivers. * @sync: Called after successful driver probe. * @dismiss: Called after unsuccessful driver probe and after driver removal. + * + * Power domains provide callbacks that are executed during system suspend, + * hibernation, system resume and during runtime PM transitions instead of + * subsystem-level and driver-level callbacks. */ struct dev_pm_domain { struct dev_pm_ops ops; diff --git a/scripts/kernel-doc b/scripts/kernel-doc index 030fc633acd4..33c85dfdfce9 100755 --- a/scripts/kernel-doc +++ b/scripts/kernel-doc @@ -199,12 +199,12 @@ EOF # 'funcname()' - function # '$ENVVAR' - environmental variable # '&struct_name' - name of a structure (up to two words including 'struct') +# '&struct_name.member' - name of a structure member # '@parameter' - name of a parameter # '%CONST' - name of a constant. ## init lots of data - my $errors = 0; my $warnings = 0; my $anon_struct_union = 0; @@ -214,14 +214,19 @@ my $type_constant = '\%([-_\w]+)'; my $type_func = '(\w+)\(\)'; my $type_param = '\@(\w+(\.\.\.)?)'; my $type_fp_param = '\@(\w+)\(\)'; # Special RST handling for func ptr params -my $type_struct = '\&((struct\s*)*[_\w]+)'; -my $type_struct_xml = '\\&((struct\s*)*[_\w]+)'; my $type_env = '(\$\w+)'; -my $type_enum_full = '\&(enum)\s*([_\w]+)'; -my $type_struct_full = '\&(struct)\s*([_\w]+)'; -my $type_typedef_full = '\&(typedef)\s*([_\w]+)'; -my $type_union_full = '\&(union)\s*([_\w]+)'; -my $type_member = '\&([_\w]+)((\.|->)[_\w]+)'; +my $type_enum = '\&(enum\s*([_\w]+))'; +my $type_struct = '\&(struct\s*([_\w]+))'; +my $type_typedef = '\&(typedef\s*([_\w]+))'; +my $type_union = '\&(union\s*([_\w]+))'; +my $type_member = '\&([_\w]+)(\.|->)([_\w]+)'; +my $type_fallback = '\&([_\w]+)'; +my $type_enum_xml = '\&(enum\s*([_\w]+))'; +my $type_struct_xml = '\&(struct\s*([_\w]+))'; +my $type_typedef_xml = '\&(typedef\s*([_\w]+))'; +my $type_union_xml = '\&(union\s*([_\w]+))'; +my $type_member_xml = '\&([_\w]+)(\.|-\>)([_\w]+)'; +my $type_fallback_xml = '\&([_\w]+)'; my $type_member_func = $type_member .
