The /sys/power/state file controls system sleep states.
|
||
|
|
Reading from this file returns the available sleep state
|
||
|
|
labels, which may be "mem", "standby", "freeze" and "disk"
|
||
|
|
(hibernation). The meanings of the first three labels depend on
|
||
|
|
the relative_sleep_states command line argument as follows:
|
||
|
|
1) relative_sleep_states = 1
|
||
|
|
"mem", "standby", "freeze" represent non-hibernation sleep
|
||
|
|
states from the deepest ("mem", always present) to the
|
||
|
|
shallowest ("freeze"). "standby" and "freeze" may or may
|
||
|
|
not be present depending on the capabilities of the
|
||
|
|
platform. "freeze" can only be present if "standby" is
|
||
|
|
present.
|
||
|
|
2) relative_sleep_states = 0 (default)
|
||
|
|
"mem" - "suspend-to-RAM", present if supported.
|
||
|
|
"standby" - "power-on suspend", present if supported.
|
||
|
|
"freeze" - "suspend-to-idle", always present.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Writing to this file one of these strings causes the system to
|
||
|
|
transition into the corresponding state, if available. See
|
||
|
|
Documentation/power/states.txt for a description of what
|
||
|
|
"suspend-to-RAM", "power-on suspend" and "suspend-to-idle" mean.

Description:
|

|
|
The /sys/power/disk file controls the operating mode of the
|
||
|
|
suspend-to-disk mechanism. Reading from this file returns
|
||
|
|
the name of the method by which the system will be put to
|
||
|
|
sleep on the next suspend. There are four methods supported:
|
||
|
|
'firmware' - means that the memory image will be saved to disk
|
||
|
|
by some firmware, in which case we also assume that the
|
||
|
|
firmware will handle the system suspend.
|
||
|
|
'platform' - the memory image will be saved by the kernel and
|
||
|
|
the system will be put to sleep by the platform driver (e.g.
|
||
|
|
ACPI or other PM registers).
|
||
|
|
'shutdown' - the memory image will be saved by the kernel and
|
||
|
|
the system will be powered off.
|
||
|
|
'reboot' - the memory image will be saved by the kernel and
|
||
|
|
the system will be rebooted.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Additionally, /sys/power/disk can be used to turn on one of the
|
||
|
|
two testing modes of the suspend-to-disk mechanism: 'testproc'
|
||
|
|
or 'test'. If the suspend-to-disk mechanism is in the
|
||
|
|
'testproc' mode, writing 'disk' to /sys/power/state will cause
|
||
|
|
the kernel to disable nonboot CPUs and freeze tasks, wait for 5
|
||
|
|
seconds, unfreeze tasks and enable nonboot CPUs. If it is in
|
||
|
|
the 'test' mode, writing 'disk' to /sys/power/state will cause
|
||
|
|
the kernel to disable nonboot CPUs and freeze tasks, shrink
|
||
|
|
memory, suspend devices, wait for 5 seconds, resume devices,
|
||
|
|
unfreeze tasks and enable nonboot CPUs. Then, we are able to
|
||
|
|
look in the log messages and work out, for example, which code
|
||
|
|
is being slow and which device drivers are misbehaving.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The suspend-to-disk method may be chosen by writing to this
|
||
|
|
file one of the accepted strings:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
'firmware'
|
||
|
|
'platform'
|
||
|
|
'shutdown'
|
||
|
|
'reboot'
|
||
|
|
'testproc'
|
||
|
|
'test'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It will only change to 'firmware' or 'platform' if the system
|
||
|
|
supports that.

Description:

The /sys/power/image_size file controls the size of the image
|

|
|
created by the suspend-to-disk mechanism. It can be written a
|
||
|
|
string representing a non-negative integer that will be used
|
||
|
|
as an upper limit of the image size, in bytes. The kernel's
|
||
|
|
suspend-to-disk code will do its best to ensure the image size
|
||
|
|
will not exceed this number. However, if it turns out to be
|
||
|
|
impossible, the kernel will try to suspend anyway using the
|
||
|
|
smallest image possible. In particular, if "0" is written to
|
||
|
|
this file, the suspend image will be as small as possible.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Reading from this file will display the current image size
|

|
|
limit, which is set to 500 MB by default.

Description:
|

|
|
The /sys/power/pm_trace file controls the code which saves the
|
||
|
|
last PM event point in the RTC across reboots, so that you can
|
||
|
|
debug a machine that just hangs during suspend (or more
|
||
|
|
commonly, during resume). Namely, the RTC is only used to save
|
||
|
|
the last PM event point if this file contains '1'. Initially
|
||
|
|
it contains '0' which may be changed to '1' by writing a
|
||
|
|
string representing a nonzero integer into it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To use this debugging feature you should attempt to suspend
|
||
|
|
the machine, then reboot it and run
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
dmesg -s 1000000 | grep 'hash matches'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you do not get any matches (or they appear to be false
|
||
|
|
positives), it is possible that the last PM event point
|
||
|
|
referred to a device created by a loadable kernel module. In
|
||
|
|
this case cat /sys/power/pm_trace_dev_match (see below) after
|
||
|
|
your system is started up and the kernel modules are loaded.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CAUTION: Using it will cause your machine's real-time (CMOS)
|
||
|
|
clock to be set to a random invalid time after a resume.

|

|
Description:
|
||
|
|
The /sys/power/pm_trace_dev_match file contains the name of the
|
||
|
|
device associated with the last PM event point saved in the RTC
|
||
|
|
across reboots when pm_trace has been used. More precisely it
|
||
|
|
contains the list of current devices (including those
|
||
|
|
registered by loadable kernel modules since boot) which match
|
||
|
|
the device hash in the RTC at boot, with a newline after each
|
||
|
|
one.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The advantage of this file over the hash matches printed to the
|
||
|
|
kernel log (see /sys/power/pm_trace), is that it includes
|
||
|
|
devices created after boot by loadable kernel modules.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Due to the small hash size necessary to fit in the RTC, it is
|
||
|
|
possible that more than one device matches the hash, in which
|
||
|
|
case further investigation is required to determine which
|
||
|
|
device is causing the problem. Note that genuine RTC clock
|
||
|
|
values (such as when pm_trace has not been used), can still
|
||
|
|
match a device and output it's name here.

The /sys/power/pm_async file controls the switch allowing the

user space to enable or disable asynchronous suspend and resume

of devices. If enabled, this feature will cause some device

drivers' suspend and resume callbacks to be executed in parallel
|
||
|
|
with each other and with the main suspend thread. It is enabled
|

|
|
if this file contains "1", which is the default. It may be
|
||
|
|
disabled by writing "0" to this file, in which case all devices
|

will be suspended and resumed synchronously.

concurrent arrival of wakeup events. Reading from it returns

the current number of registered wakeup events and it blocks if
|
||
|
|
some wakeup events are being processed at the time the file is
|
||
|
|
read from. Writing to it will only succeed if the current
|

|
|
number of wakeup events is equal to the written value and, if

|
|
successful, will make the kernel abort a subsequent transition
|

the sleep state represented by that string is queued up. This

attempt will only succeed if there are no active wakeup sources

in the system at that time. After every execution, regardless
|

Description:

The /sys/power/wake_lock file allows user space to create

wakeup source objects and activate them on demand (if one of
|

|
those wakeup sources is active, reads from the
|
||
|
|
/sys/power/wakeup_count file block or return false). When a
|
||
|
|
string without white space is written to /sys/power/wake_lock,
|
||
|
|
it will be assumed to represent a wakeup source name. If there
|
||
|
|
is a wakeup source object with that name, it will be activated
|
||
|
|
(unless active already). Otherwise, a new wakeup source object
|
||
|
|
will be registered, assigned the given name and activated.
|
||
|
|
If a string written to /sys/power/wake_lock contains white
|
||
|
|
space, the part of the string preceding the white space will be
|
||
|
|
regarded as a wakeup source name and handled as descrived above.
|
||
|
|
The other part of the string will be regarded as a timeout (in
|
||
|
|
nanoseconds) such that the wakeup source will be automatically
|
||
|
|
deactivated after it has expired. The timeout, if present, is
|
||
|
|
set regardless of the current state of the wakeup source object
|
||
|
|
in question.
|

Reads from this file return a string consisting of the names of
