* | power_supply: add CHARGE_COUNTER property and olpc_battery support for itAndres Salomon2008-05-13
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds PROP_CHARGE_COUNTER to the power supply class (documenting it as well). The OLPC battery driver uses this for spitting out its ACR values (in uAh). We have some rounding errors (the data sheet claims 416.7, the math actually works out to 416.666667, so we're forced to choose between overflows or precision loss. I chose precision loss, and stuck w/ data sheet values), but I don't think anyone will care that much.

* PM: Handle device registrations during suspend/resumeRafael J. Wysocki2008-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Modify the PM core to protect its data structures, specifically the dpm_active list, from being corrupted if a child of the currently suspending device is registered concurrently with its ->suspend() callback. In that case, since the new device (the child) is added to dpm_active after its parent, the PM core will attempt to suspend it after the parent, which is wrong. Introduce a new member of struct dev_pm_info, called 'sleeping', and use it to check if the parent of the device being added to dpm_active has been suspended, in which case the device registration fails. Also, use 'sleeping' for checking if the ordering of devices on dpm_active is correct. Introduce variable 'all_sleeping' that will be set to 'true' once all devices have been suspended and make new device registrations fail until 'all_sleeping' is reset to 'false', in order to avoid having unsuspended devices around while the system is going into a sleep state. Remove pm_sleep_rwsem which is not necessary any more. Special thanks to Alan Stern for discussions and suggestions that lead to the creation of this patch. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* PM: Introduce PM_EVENT_HIBERNATE callback stateRafael J. Wysocki2008-02-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During the last step of hibernation in the "platform" mode (with the help of ACPI) we use the suspend code, including the devices' ->suspend() methods, to prepare the system for entering the ACPI S4 system sleep state. But at least for some devices the operations performed by the ->suspend() callback in that case must be different from its operations during regular suspend. For this reason, introduce the new PM event type PM_EVENT_HIBERNATE and pass it to the device drivers' ->suspend() methods during the last phase of hibernation, so that they can distinguish this case and handle it as appropriate. Modify the drivers that handle PM_EVENT_SUSPEND in a special way and need to handle PM_EVENT_HIBERNATE in the same way. These changes are necessary to fix a hibernation regression related to the i915 driver (ref. http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/22/488). Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* serial: turn serial console suspend a boot rather than compile time optionAndres Salomon2007-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, there's a CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND that allows one to stop the serial console from being suspended when the rest of the machine goes to sleep. This is incredibly useful for debugging power management-related things; however, having it as a compile-time option has proved to be incredibly inconvenient for us (OLPC). There are plenty of times that we want serial console to not suspend, but for the most part we'd like serial console to be suspended. This drops CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND, and replaces it with a kernel boot parameter (no_console_suspend). By default, the serial console will be suspended along with the rest of the system; by passing 'no_console_suspend' to the kernel during boot, serial console will remain alive during suspend. For now, this is pretty serial console specific; further fixes could be applied to make this work for things like netconsole. Signed-off-by: Andres Salomon <dilinger@debian.org> Acked-by: "Rafael J.

* freezer: do not send signals to kernel threadsRafael J. Wysocki2007-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The freezer should not send signals to kernel threads, since that may lead to subtle problems. In particular, commit b74d0deb968e1f85942f17080eace015ce3c332c has changed recalc_sigpending_tsk() so that it doesn't clear TIF_SIGPENDING. For this reason, if the freezer continues to send fake signals to kernel threads and the freezing of kernel threads fails, some of them may be running with TIF_SIGPENDING set forever. Accordingly, recalc_sigpending_tsk() shouldn't set the task's TIF_SIGPENDING flag if TIF_FREEZE is set. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* PM: Rename struct pm_ops and related thingsRafael J. Wysocki2007-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The name of 'struct pm_ops' suggests that it is related to the power management in general, but in fact it is only related to suspend.  Moreover, its name should indicate what this structure is used for, so it seems reasonable to change it to 'struct platform_suspend_ops'.  In that case, the name of the global variable of this type used by the PM core and the names of related functions should be changed accordingly.

* Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by defaultRafael J. Wysocki2007-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't care for the freezing of tasks at all. It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is done in this patch. The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable() function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional) change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to describe the freezing of tasks more accurately. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fixes] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* USB: add USB-Persist facilityAlan Stern2007-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch (as886) adds the controversial USB-persist facility, allowing USB devices to persist across a power loss during system suspend. The facility is controlled by a new Kconfig option (with appropriate warnings about the potential dangers); when the option is off the behavior will remain the same as it is now. But when the option is on, people will be able to use suspend-to-disk and keep their USB filesystems intact -- something particularly valuable for small machines where the root filesystem is on a USB device!

| * updated Documentation/power/devices.txtDavid Brownell2006-09-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This turned into a rewrite of Documentation/power/devices.txt: - Provide more of the "big picture" - Fixup some of the horribly ancient/obsolete description of device suspend() semantics; lots of text just got deleted. - Add a decent description of PM_EVENT_* codes, including the new PRETHAW code needed in some swsusp scenarios. - Describe the new PM factorization from Linus: * class suspend, current suspend, then suspend_late * NOT suspend_prepare, it wasn't really usable * resume_early, current resume, class resume. - Updates power/state docs to be correct, and deprecate its usage except for driver testing.

* | [PATCH] PM: Add pm_trace switchRafael J. Wysocki2006-09-26
|/ | | | | | | | | | | Add the pm_trace attribute in /sys/power which has to be explicitly set to one to really enable the "PM tracing" code compiled in when CONFIG_PM_TRACE is set (which modifies the machine's CMOS clock in unpredictable ways).
