---help---
|
|
"Power Management" means that parts of your computer are shut
|
|
off or put into a power conserving "sleep" mode if they are not
|
|
being used. There are two competing standards for doing this: APM
|
|
and ACPI. If you want to use either one, say Y here and then also
|
|
to the requisite support below.
|
|
|
|
Power Management is most important for battery powered laptop
|
|
computers; if you have a laptop, check out the Linux Laptop home
|
|
page on the WWW at <http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/> or
|
|
Tuxmobil - Linux on Mobile Computers at <http://www.tuxmobil.org/>
|
|
and the Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
|
|
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
|
|
|
|
Note that, even if you say N here, Linux on the x86 architecture
|
|
will issue the hlt instruction if nothing is to be done, thereby
|
|
sending the processor to sleep and saving power.

If unsure, say N.

config PM_DEBUG

bool "Power Management Debug Support"
|
|
depends on PM
|
|
---help---
|

This option enables verbose debugging support in the Power Management

code. This is helpful when debugging and reporting various PM bugs,
|
|
like suspend support.

bool "Keep console(s) enabled during suspend/resume (DANGEROUS)"
|
|
depends on PM && PM_DEBUG
|
|
default n
|
|
---help---
|
|
This option turns off the console suspend mechanism that prevents
|
|
debug messages from reaching the console during the suspend/resume
|
|
operations. This may be helpful when debugging device drivers'
|
|
suspend/resume routines, but may itself lead to problems, for example
|
|
if netconsole is used.

config PM_TRACE

bool "Suspend/resume event tracing"
|

default n
|
|
---help---
|
|
This enables some cheesy code to save 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).
|
|
|
|
To use this debugging feature you should attempt to suspend the machine,
|
|
then reboot it, then run
|
|
|
|
dmesg -s 1000000 | grep 'hash matches'
|
|
|
|
CAUTION: this option will cause your machine's real-time clock to be
|
|
set to an invalid time after a resume.

help
|
|
The driver model started out with a sysfs file intended to provide
|
|
a userspace hook for device power management. This feature has never
|
|
worked very well, except for limited testing purposes, and so it will
|
|
be removed. It's not clear that a generic mechanism could really
|
|
handle the wide variability of device power states; any replacements
|
|
are likely to be bus or driver specific.

---help---

Enable the suspend to disk (STD) functionality.
|
|
|
|
You can suspend your machine with 'echo disk > /sys/power/state'.
|
|
Alternatively, you can use the additional userland tools available
|
|
from <http://suspend.sf.net>.
|
|
|
|
In principle it does not require ACPI or APM, although for example
|
|
ACPI will be used if available.
|
|
|
|
It creates an image which is saved in your active swap. Upon the next
|
|
boot, pass the 'resume=/dev/swappartition' argument to the kernel to
|
|
have it detect the saved image, restore memory state from it, and
|
|
continue to run as before. If you do not want the previous state to
|
|
be reloaded, then use the 'noresume' kernel command line argument.
|
|
Note, however, that fsck will be run on your filesystems and you will
|
|
need to run mkswap against the swap partition used for the suspend.
|
|
|
|
It also works with swap files to a limited extent (for details see
|
|
<file:Documentation/power/swsusp-and-swap-files.txt>).
|
|
|
|
Right now you may boot without resuming and resume later but in the
|
|
meantime you cannot use the swap partition(s)/file(s) involved in
|
|
suspending. Also in this case you must not use the filesystems
|
|
that were mounted before the suspend. In particular, you MUST NOT
|
|
MOUNT any journaled filesystems mounted before the suspend or they
|
|
will get corrupted in a nasty way.
|
|
|
|
For more information take a look at <file:Documentation/power/swsusp.txt>.

---help---
|

The default resume partition is the partition that the suspend-
|
|
to-disk implementation will look for a suspended disk image.
|
|
|
|
The partition specified here will be different for almost every user.
|
|
It should be a valid swap partition (at least for now) that is turned
|
|
on before suspending.
|
|
|
|
The partition specified can be overridden by specifying:
|
|
|
|
resume=/dev/<other device>
|
|
|
|
which will set the resume partition to the device specified.
|
|
|
|
Note there is currently not a way to specify which device to save the
|
|
suspended image to. It will simply pick the first available swap
|
|
device.

APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
|
|
techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
|
|
APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
|
|
reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
|
|
battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
|
|
notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
|
|
|
|
In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
|
|
and more information, read <file:Documentation/pm.txt> and the
|
|
Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
|
|
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
|
|
|
|
This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
|
|
manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
|
|
VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
|
|
|
|
Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
|
|
much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
|
|
random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
|
|
anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
|
|
APM in your BIOS).
