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 various debugging support in the Power Management
37 code. This is helpful when debugging and reporting PM bugs, like
41 bool "Verbose Power Management debugging"
45 This option enables verbose messages from the Power Management code.
47 config DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND
48 bool "Keep console(s) enabled during suspend/resume (DANGEROUS)"
49 depends on PM_DEBUG && PM_SLEEP
52 This option turns off the console suspend mechanism that prevents
53 debug messages from reaching the console during the suspend/resume
54 operations. This may be helpful when debugging device drivers'
55 suspend/resume routines, but may itself lead to problems, for example
56 if netconsole is used.
59 bool "Suspend/resume event tracing"
60 depends on PM_DEBUG && X86 && PM_SLEEP && EXPERIMENTAL
63 This enables some cheesy code to save the last PM event point in the
64 RTC across reboots, so that you can debug a machine that just hangs
65 during suspend (or more commonly, during resume).
67 To use this debugging feature you should attempt to suspend the machine,
68 then reboot it, then run
70 dmesg -s 1000000 | grep 'hash matches'
72 CAUTION: this option will cause your machine's real-time clock to be
73 set to an invalid time after a resume.

102 bool "Suspend to RAM and standby"
104 depends on SUSPEND_UP_POSSIBLE || SUSPEND_SMP_POSSIBLE
107 Allow the system to enter sleep states in which main memory is
108 powered and thus its contents are preserved, such as the
109 suspend-to-RAM state (i.e. the ACPI S3 state).
111 config HIBERNATION_UP_POSSIBLE
113 depends on X86 || PPC64_SWSUSP || FRV || PPC32

119 depends on (X86 && !X86_VOYAGER) || PPC64_SWSUSP
124 bool "Hibernation (aka 'suspend to disk')"
125 depends on PM && SWAP
126 depends on HIBERNATION_UP_POSSIBLE || HIBERNATION_SMP_POSSIBLE
128 Enable the suspend to disk (STD) functionality, which is usually
129 called "hibernation" in user interfaces. STD checkpoints the
130 system and powers it off; and restores that checkpoint on reboot.
132 You can suspend your machine with 'echo disk > /sys/power/state'.
133 Alternatively, you can use the additional userland tools available
134 from <http://suspend.sf.net>.
136 In principle it does not require ACPI or APM, although for example
137 ACPI will be used for the final steps when it is available. One
138 of the reasons to use software suspend is that the firmware hooks
139 for suspend states like suspend-to-RAM (STR) often don't work very
142 It creates an image which is saved in your active swap. Upon the next
143 boot, pass the 'resume=/dev/swappartition' argument to the kernel to
144 have it detect the saved image, restore memory state from it, and
145 continue to run as before. If you do not want the previous state to
146 be reloaded, then use the 'noresume' kernel command line argument.
147 Note, however, that fsck will be run on your filesystems and you will
148 need to run mkswap against the swap partition used for the suspend.
150 It also works with swap files to a limited extent (for details see
151 <file:Documentation/power/swsusp-and-swap-files.txt>).
153 Right now you may boot without resuming and resume later but in the
154 meantime you cannot use the swap partition(s)/file(s) involved in
155 suspending. Also in this case you must not use the filesystems
156 that were mounted before the suspend. In particular, you MUST NOT
157 MOUNT any journaled filesystems mounted before the suspend or they
158 will get corrupted in a nasty way.
160 For more information take a look at <file:Documentation/power/swsusp.txt>.
162 config PM_STD_PARTITION
163 string "Default resume partition"
164 depends on HIBERNATION
167 The default resume partition is the partition that the suspend-
168 to-disk implementation will look for a suspended disk image.
170 The partition specified here will be different for almost every user.
171 It should be a valid swap partition (at least for now) that is turned
172 on before suspending.
174 The partition specified can be overridden by specifying:
176 resume=/dev/<other device>
178 which will set the resume partition to the device specified.
180 Note there is currently not a way to specify which device to save the
181 suspended image to. It will simply pick the first available swap
185 tristate "Advanced Power Management Emulation"
186 depends on PM && SYS_SUPPORTS_APM_EMULATION
188 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
189 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
190 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
191 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
192 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
193 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
195 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
196 and more information, read <file:Documentation/pm.txt> and the
197 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
198 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
200 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
201 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
202 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
204 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
205 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
206 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
207 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
