PM / core / docs: Convert sleep states API document to reST

Browse Source 
Move the document describing the system sleep state transitions API
for devices to Documentation/driver-api/pm/, convert it to reST and
update it to use current terminology.  Also remove the remaining
reference to the old version of it from pm.h.

The new document still contains references to some documents in the
.txt format that will be converted later.

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

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

System Power Management Phases

Suspending or resuming the system is done in several phases. Different phases

Moreover, if the preceding ``->prepare`` callback returned a positive

whole system suspend and resume (the ``suspend``, ``suspend_late``,

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

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:

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``,

``poweroff_noirq``.

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.
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.

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
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.

freeze_late, if necessary.

described above. Its methods should undo the actions of the preceding

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,
before putting the system into the suspend-to-idle, shallow or deep sleep state,
and the phases are similar.

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
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.

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,

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:

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.
Power Management Notifiers
==========================
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).
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.
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.
For details refer to :file:`Documentation/power/notifiers.txt`.
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 (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
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 enable_irq_wake) and might
be able to treat DMA completion as a wakeup event (sometimes DMA can stay
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).
