2017-08-05ACPI / PM: Prefer suspend-to-idle over S3 on some systemsRafael J. Wysocki
Modify the ACPI system sleep support setup code to select suspend-to-idle as the default system sleep state if (1) the ACPI_FADT_LOW_POWER_S0 flag is set in the FADT and (2) the Low Power Idle S0 _DSM interface has been discovered and (3) the default sleep state was not selected from the kernel command line. The main motivation for this change is that systems where the (1) and (2) conditions are met typically ship with OSes that don't exercise the S3 path in the platform firmware which remains untested and turns out to be non-functional at least in some cases.

Revert commit 08b98d329165 (PM / sleep / ACPI: Use the ACPI_FADT_LOW_POWER_S0 flag) as it caused system suspend (in the default configuration) to fail on Dell XPS13 (9360) with the Kaby Lake processor.

2016-11-21PM / sleep: System sleep state selection interface reworkRafael J. Wysocki
There are systems in which the platform doesn't support any special sleep states, so suspend-to-idle (PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE) is the only available system sleep state. However, some user space frameworks only use the "mem" and (sometimes) "standby" sleep state labels, so the users of those systems need to modify user space in order to be able to use system suspend at all and that may be a pain in practice. Commit 0399d4db3edf (PM / sleep: Introduce command line argument for sleep state enumeration) attempted to address this problem by adding a command line argument to change the meaning of the "mem" string in /sys/power/state to make it trigger suspend-to-idle (instead of suspend-to-RAM). However, there also are systems in which the platform does support special sleep states, but suspend-to-idle is the preferred one anyway (it even may save more energy than the platform-provided sleep states in some cases) and the above commit doesn't help in those cases. For this reason, rework the system sleep state selection interface again (but preserve backwards compatibiliby). Namely, add a new sysfs file, /sys/power/mem_sleep, that will control the system suspend mode triggered by writing "mem" to /sys/power/state (in analogy with what /sys/power/disk does for hibernation). Make it select suspend-to-RAM ("deep" sleep) by default (if supported) and fall back to suspend-to-idle ("s2idle") otherwise and add a new command line argument, mem_sleep_default, allowing that default to be overridden if need be. At the same time, drop the relative_sleep_states command line argument that doesn't make sense any more. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2014-05-26PM / sleep: Introduce command line argument for sleep state enumerationRafael J. Wysocki
On some systems the platform doesn't support neither PM_SUSPEND_MEM nor PM_SUSPEND_STANDBY, so PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE is the only available system sleep state. However, some user space frameworks only use the "mem" and (sometimes) "standby" sleep state labels, so the users of those systems need to modify user space in order to be able to use system suspend at all and that is not always possible. For this reason, add a new kernel command line argument, relative_sleep_states, allowing the users of those systems to change the way in which the kernel assigns labels to system sleep states. Namely, for relative_sleep_states=1, the "mem", "standby" and "freeze" labels will enumerate the available system sleem states from the deepest to the shallowest, respectively, so that "mem" is always present in /sys/power/state and the other state strings may or may not be presend depending on what is supported by the platform. Update system sleep states documentation to reflect this change. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

This patch removes the firmware disk suspend mode which is the wrong approach, it is supposed to be used for implementing firmware-based disk suspend but cannot actually be used for that.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
