PM: Introduce library for device-specific OPPs (v7)

2010-10-16T23:57:50Z

SoCs have a standard set of tuples consisting of frequency and voltage pairs that the device will support per voltage domain. These are called Operating Performance Points or OPPs. The actual definitions of OPP varies over silicon versions. For a specific domain, we can have a set of {frequency, voltage} pairs. As the kernel boots and more information is available, a default set of these are activated based on the precise nature of device. Further on operation, based on conditions prevailing in the system (such as temperature), some OPP availability may be temporarily controlled by the SoC frameworks. To implement an OPP, some sort of power management support is necessary hence this library depends on CONFIG_PM. Contributions include: Sanjeev Premi for the initial concept: http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/50998/ Kevin Hilman for converting original design to device-based. Kevin Hilman and Paul Walmsey for cleaning up many of the function abstractions, improvements and data structure handling. Romit Dasgupta for using enums instead of opp pointers. Thara Gopinath, Eduardo Valentin and Vishwanath BS for fixes and cleanups. Linus Walleij for recommending this layer be made generic for usage in other architectures beyond OMAP and ARM. Mark Brown, Andrew Morton, Rafael J. Wysocki, Paul E. McKenney for valuable improvements.

PM: Add sysfs attr for rechecking dev hash from PM trace

2010-10-16T23:57:50Z

If the device which fails to resume is part of a loadable kernel module it won't be checked at startup against the magic number stored in the RTC. Add a read-only sysfs attribute /sys/power/pm_trace_dev_match which contains a list of newline separated devices (usually just the one) which currently match the last magic number. This allows the device which is failing to resume to be found after the modules are loaded again. Signed-off-by: James Hogan Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

PM / Hibernate: Modify signature used to mark swap

2010-10-16T23:57:49Z

Since we are adding compression to the kernel's hibernate code, change signature used by it to mark swap spaces, so that earlier kernels don't attempt to restore compressed images they cannot handle. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Acked-by: Pavel Machek

PM: Allow wakeup events to abort freezing of tasks

2010-10-16T23:57:49Z

If there is a wakeup event during the freezing of tasks, suspend or hibernation will fail anyway. Since try_to_freeze_tasks() can take up to 20 seconds to complete or fail, aborting it as soon as a wakeup event is detected improves the worst case wakeup latency. Based on a patch from Arve Hjønnevåg. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Acked-by: Pavel Machek

PM / Hibernate: Make some boot messages look less scary

2010-10-16T23:57:48Z

The hibernate resume code checks if there is an image to resume from on every boot and, if the kernel is built with CONFIG_PM_DEBUG set and the image is not present, it prints some scary messages suggesting there was a boot error of some sort. Apparently, some users are confused by them, so make them look less scary and adjust the other hibernate resume debug messages to match them. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

PM / Wakeup: Introduce wakeup source objects and event statistics (v3)

2010-10-16T23:57:43Z

Introduce struct wakeup_source for representing system wakeup sources within the kernel and for collecting statistics related to them. Make the recently introduced helper functions pm_wakeup_event(), pm_stay_awake() and pm_relax() use struct wakeup_source objects internally, so that wakeup statistics associated with wakeup devices can be collected and reported in a consistent way (the definition of pm_relax() is changed, which is harmless, because this function is not called directly by anyone yet). Introduce new wakeup-related sysfs device attributes in /sys/devices/.../power for reporting the device wakeup statistics. Change the global wakeup events counters event_count and events_in_progress into atomic variables, so that it is not necessary to acquire a global spinlock in pm_wakeup_event(), pm_stay_awake() and pm_relax(), which should allow us to avoid lock contention in these functions on SMP systems with many wakeup devices.

PM / Hibernate: Make default image size depend on total RAM size

2010-10-16T23:57:43Z

The default hibernation image size is currently hard coded and euqal to 500 MB, which is not a reasonable default on many contemporary systems. Make it equal 2/5 of the total RAM size (this is slightly below the maximum, i.e. 1/2 of the total RAM size, and seems to be generally suitable). Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Tested-by: M.
