PM: Introduce suspend state PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE

2013-02-09T21:30:44Z

PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE state is a general state that does not need any platform specific support, it equals frozen processes + suspended devices + idle processors. Compared with PM_SUSPEND_MEMORY, PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE saves less power because the system is still in a running state. PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE has less resume latency because it does not touch BIOS, and the processors are in idle state. Compared with RTPM/idle, PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE saves more power as 1. the processor has longer sleep time because processes are frozen. The deeper c-state the processor supports, more power saving we can get. 2. PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE uses system suspend code path, thus we can get more power saving from the devices that does not have good RTPM support. This state is useful for 1) platforms that do not have STR, or have a broken STR. 2) platforms that have an extremely low power idle state, which can be used to replace STR. The following describes how PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE state works. 1. echo freeze > /sys/power/state 2. the processes are frozen. 3. all the devices are suspended. 4. all the processors are blocked by a wait queue 5. all the processors idles and enters (Deep) c-state. 6. an interrupt fires. 7. a processor is woken up and handles the irq. 8. if it is a general event, a) the irq handler runs and quites. b) goto step 4. 9. if it is a real wake event, say, power button pressing, keyboard touch, mouse moving, a) the irq handler runs and activate the wakeup source b) wakeup_source_activate() notifies the wait queue. c) system starts resuming from PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE 10. all the devices are resumed. 11. all the processes are unfrozen. 12. system is back to working. Known Issue: The wakeup of this new PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE state may behave differently from the previous suspend state. Take ACPI platform for example, there are some GPEs that only enabled when the system is in sleep state, to wake the system backk from S3/S4. But we are not touching these GPEs during transition to PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE. This means we may lose some wake event. But on the other hand, as we do not disable all the Interrupts during PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE, we may get some extra "wakeup" Interrupts, that are not available for S3/S4. The patches has been tested on an old Sony laptop, and here are the results: Average Power: 1. RPTM/idle for half an hour: 14.8W, 12.6W, 14.1W, 12.5W, 14.4W, 13.2W, 12.9W 2. Freeze for half an hour: 11W, 10.4W, 9.4W, 11.3W 10.5W 3. RTPM/idle for three hours: 11.6W 4. Freeze for three hours: 10W 5. Suspend to Memory: 0.5~0.9W Average Resume Latency: 1. RTPM/idle with a black screen: (From pressing keyboard to screen back) Less than 0.2s 2. Freeze: (From pressing power button to screen back) 2.50s 3. Suspend to Memory: (From pressing power button to screen back) 4.33s >From the results, we can see that all the platforms should benefit from this patch, even if it does not have Low Power S0.

Revert "NMI watchdog: fix for lockup detector breakage on resume"

2012-08-08T18:49:45Z

Revert commit 45226e9 (NMI watchdog: fix for lockup detector breakage on resume) which breaks resume from system suspend on my SH7372 Mackerel board (by causing a NULL pointer dereference to happen) and is generally wrong, because it abuses the CPU hotplug functionality in a shamelessly blatant way. The original issue should be addressed through appropriate syscore resume callback instead. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

NMI watchdog: fix for lockup detector breakage on resume

2012-07-31T00:25:13Z

On the suspend/resume path the boot CPU does not go though an offline->online transition. This breaks the NMI detector post-resume since it depends on PMU state that is lost when the system gets suspended. Fix this by forcing a CPU offline->online transition for the lockup detector on the boot CPU during resume. To provide more context, we enable NMI watchdog on Chrome OS. We have seen several reports of systems freezing up completely which indicated that the NMI watchdog was not firing for some reason. Debugging further, we found a simple way of repro'ing system freezes -- issuing the command 'tasket 1 sh -c "echo nmilockup > /proc/breakme"' after the system has been suspended/resumed one or more times. With this patch in place, the system freeze result in panics, as expected. These panics provide a nice stack trace for us to debug the actual issue causing the freeze.

ftrace: Disable function tracing during suspend/resume and hibernation, again

2012-07-01T11:31:22Z

If function tracing is enabled for some of the low-level suspend/resume functions, it leads to triple fault during resume from suspend, ultimately ending up in a reboot instead of a resume (or a total refusal to come out of suspended state, on some machines). This issue was explained in more detail in commit f42ac38c59e0a03d (ftrace: disable tracing for suspend to ram). However, the changes made by that commit got reverted by commit cbe2f5a6e84eebb (tracing: allow tracing of suspend/resume & hibernation code again). So, unfortunately since things are not yet robust enough to allow tracing of low-level suspend/resume functions, suspend/resume is still broken when ftrace is enabled. So fix this by disabling function tracing during suspend/resume & hibernation. Signed-off-by: Srivatsa S. Bhat Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

PM / Sleep: Move disabling of usermode helpers to the freezer

2012-03-28T21:30:21Z

The core suspend/hibernation code calls usermodehelper_disable() to avoid race conditions between the freezer and the starting of usermode helpers and each code path has to do that on its own. However, it is always called right before freeze_processes() and usermodehelper_enable() is always called right after thaw_processes(). For this reason, to avoid code duplication and to make the connection between usermodehelper_disable() and the freezer more visible, make freeze_processes() call it and remove the direct usermodehelper_disable() and usermodehelper_enable() calls from all suspend/hibernation code paths.

PM / Sleep: Drop suspend_stats_update()

2012-02-17T22:36:23Z

Since suspend_stats_update() is only called from pm_suspend(), move its code directly into that function and remove the static inline definition from include/linux/suspend.h. Clean_up pm_suspend() in the process. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Acked-by: Srivatsa S. Bhat

PM / Sleep: Make enter_state() in kernel/power/suspend.c static

2012-02-17T22:36:10Z

The enter_state() function in kernel/power/suspend.c should be static and state_store() in kernel/power/suspend.c should call pm_suspend() instead of it, so make that happen (which also reduces code duplication related to suspend statistics).

PM / Sleep: Introduce "late suspend" and "early resume" of devices

2012-01-29T19:38:29Z

The current device suspend/resume phases during system-wide power transitions appear to be insufficient for some platforms that want to use the same callback routines for saving device states and related operations during runtime suspend/resume as well as during system suspend/resume. In principle, they could point their .suspend_noirq() and .resume_noirq() to the same callback routines as their .runtime_suspend() and .runtime_resume(), respectively, but at least some of them require device interrupts to be enabled while the code in those routines is running. It also makes sense to have device suspend-resume callbacks that will be executed with runtime PM disabled and with device interrupts enabled in case someone needs to run some special code in that context during system-wide power transitions. Apart from this, .suspend_noirq() and .resume_noirq() were introduced as a workaround for drivers using shared interrupts and failing to prevent their interrupt handlers from accessing suspended hardware. It appears to be better not to use them for other porposes, or we may have to deal with some serious confusion (which seems to be happening already). For the above reasons, introduce new device suspend/resume phases, "late suspend" and "early resume" (and analogously for hibernation) whose callback will be executed with runtime PM disabled and with device interrupts enabled and whose callback pointers generally may point to runtime suspend/resume routines.
