2 bool "Power Management support"
3 depends on !IA64_HP_SIM
5 "Power Management" means that parts of your computer are shut
6 off or put into a power conserving "sleep" mode if they are not
7 being used. There are two competing standards for doing this: APM
8 and ACPI. If you want to use either one, say Y here and then also
9 to the requisite support below.
11 Power Management is most important for battery powered laptop
12 computers; if you have a laptop, check out the Linux Laptop home
13 page on the WWW at <http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/> or
14 Tuxmobil - Linux on Mobile Computers at <http://www.tuxmobil.org/>
15 and the Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
16 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
18 Note that, even if you say N here, Linux on the x86 architecture
19 will issue the hlt instruction if nothing is to be done, thereby
20 sending the processor to sleep and saving power.
23 bool "Legacy Power Management API (DEPRECATED)"
27 Support for pm_register() and friends. This old API is obsoleted
33 bool "Power Management Debug Support"
36 This option enables verbose debugging support in the Power Management
37 code. This is helpful when debugging and reporting various PM bugs,
40 config DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND
41 bool "Keep console(s) enabled during suspend/resume (DANGEROUS)"
42 depends on PM && PM_DEBUG
45 This option turns off the console suspend mechanism that prevents
46 debug messages from reaching the console during the suspend/resume
47 operations. This may be helpful when debugging device drivers'
48 suspend/resume routines, but may itself lead to problems, for example
49 if netconsole is used.
52 bool "Suspend/resume event tracing"
53 depends on PM && PM_DEBUG && X86_32 && EXPERIMENTAL
56 This enables some cheesy code to save the last PM event point in the
57 RTC across reboots, so that you can debug a machine that just hangs
58 during suspend (or more commonly, during resume).
60 To use this debugging feature you should attempt to suspend the machine,
61 then reboot it, then run
63 dmesg -s 1000000 | grep 'hash matches'
65 CAUTION: this option will cause your machine's real-time clock to be
66 set to an invalid time after a resume.
68 config PM_SYSFS_DEPRECATED
69 bool "Driver model /sys/devices/.../power/state files (DEPRECATED)"
70 depends on PM && SYSFS
73 The driver model started out with a sysfs file intended to provide
74 a userspace hook for device power management. This feature has never
75 worked very well, except for limited testing purposes, and so it will
76 be removed. It's not clear that a generic mechanism could really
77 handle the wide variability of device power states; any replacements
78 are likely to be bus or driver specific.
80 config SOFTWARE_SUSPEND
81 bool "Software Suspend"
82 depends on PM && SWAP && ((X86 && (!SMP || SUSPEND_SMP)) || ((FRV || PPC32) && !SMP))
84 Enable the possibility of suspending the machine.
85 It doesn't need ACPI or APM.
86 You may suspend your machine by 'swsusp' or 'shutdown -z <time>'
87 (patch for sysvinit needed).
89 It creates an image which is saved in your active swap. Upon next
90 boot, pass the 'resume=/dev/swappartition' argument to the kernel to
91 have it detect the saved image, restore memory state from it, and
92 continue to run as before. If you do not want the previous state to
93 be reloaded, then use the 'noresume' kernel argument. However, note
94 that your partitions will be fsck'd and you must re-mkswap your swap
95 partitions. It does not work with swap files.
97 Right now you may boot without resuming and then later resume but
98 in meantime you cannot use those swap partitions/files which were
99 involved in suspending. Also in this case there is a risk that buffers
100 on disk won't match with saved ones.
102 For more information take a look at <file:Documentation/power/swsusp.txt>.
104 (For now, swsusp is incompatible with PAE aka HIGHMEM_64G on i386.
105 we need identity mapping for resume to work, and that is trivial
106 to get with 4MB pages, but less than trivial on PAE).
108 config PM_STD_PARTITION
109 string "Default resume partition"
110 depends on SOFTWARE_SUSPEND
113 The default resume partition is the partition that the suspend-
114 to-disk implementation will look for a suspended disk image.
116 The partition specified here will be different for almost every user.
117 It should be a valid swap partition (at least for now) that is turned
118 on before suspending.
120 The partition specified can be overridden by specifying:
122 resume=/dev/<other device>
124 which will set the resume partition to the device specified.
126 Note there is currently not a way to specify which device to save the
127 suspended image to. It will simply pick the first available swap
132 depends on HOTPLUG_CPU && X86 && PM
