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)"
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 && 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.
75 config SOFTWARE_SUSPEND
76 bool "Software Suspend (Hibernation)"
77 depends on PM && SWAP && (((X86 || PPC64_SWSUSP) && (!SMP || SUSPEND_SMP)) || ((FRV || PPC32) && !SMP))
79 Enable the suspend to disk (STD) functionality, which is usually
80 called "hibernation" in user interfaces. STD checkpoints the
81 system and powers it off; and restores that checkpoint on reboot.
83 You can suspend your machine with 'echo disk > /sys/power/state'.
84 Alternatively, you can use the additional userland tools available
85 from <http://suspend.sf.net>.
87 In principle it does not require ACPI or APM, although for example
88 ACPI will be used for the final steps when it is available. One
89 of the reasons to use software suspend is that the firmware hooks
90 for suspend states like suspend-to-RAM (STR) often don't work very
93 It creates an image which is saved in your active swap. Upon the next
94 boot, pass the 'resume=/dev/swappartition' argument to the kernel to
95 have it detect the saved image, restore memory state from it, and
96 continue to run as before. If you do not want the previous state to
97 be reloaded, then use the 'noresume' kernel command line argument.
98 Note, however, that fsck will be run on your filesystems and you will
99 need to run mkswap against the swap partition used for the suspend.
101 It also works with swap files to a limited extent (for details see
102 <file:Documentation/power/swsusp-and-swap-files.txt>).
104 Right now you may boot without resuming and resume later but in the
105 meantime you cannot use the swap partition(s)/file(s) involved in
106 suspending. Also in this case you must not use the filesystems
107 that were mounted before the suspend. In particular, you MUST NOT
108 MOUNT any journaled filesystems mounted before the suspend or they
109 will get corrupted in a nasty way.
111 For more information take a look at <file:Documentation/power/swsusp.txt>.
113 config PM_STD_PARTITION
114 string "Default resume partition"
115 depends on SOFTWARE_SUSPEND
118 The default resume partition is the partition that the suspend-
119 to-disk implementation will look for a suspended disk image.
121 The partition specified here will be different for almost every user.
122 It should be a valid swap partition (at least for now) that is turned
123 on before suspending.
125 The partition specified can be overridden by specifying:
127 resume=/dev/<other device>
129 which will set the resume partition to the device specified.
131 Note there is currently not a way to specify which device to save the
132 suspended image to. It will simply pick the first available swap
137 depends on HOTPLUG_CPU && (X86 || PPC64) && PM
141 tristate "Advanced Power Management Emulation"
142 depends on PM && SYS_SUPPORTS_APM_EMULATION
144 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
145 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
146 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
147 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
148 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
149 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
151 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
152 and more information, read <file:Documentation/pm.txt> and the
153 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
154 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
156 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
157 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
158 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
160 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
161 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
162 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
163 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
