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"
27 Support for pm_register() and friends.
32 bool "Power Management Debug Support"
35 This option enables verbose debugging support in the Power Management
36 code. This is helpful when debugging and reporting various PM bugs,
39 config DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND
40 bool "Keep console(s) enabled during suspend/resume (DANGEROUS)"
41 depends on PM && PM_DEBUG
44 This option turns off the console suspend mechanism that prevents
45 debug messages from reaching the console during the suspend/resume
46 operations. This may be helpful when debugging device drivers'
47 suspend/resume routines, but may itself lead to problems, for example
48 if netconsole is used.
51 bool "Suspend/resume event tracing"
52 depends on PM && PM_DEBUG && X86_32 && EXPERIMENTAL
55 This enables some cheesy code to save the last PM event point in the
56 RTC across reboots, so that you can debug a machine that just hangs
57 during suspend (or more commonly, during resume).
59 To use this debugging feature you should attempt to suspend the machine,
60 then reboot it, then run
62 dmesg -s 1000000 | grep 'hash matches'
64 CAUTION: this option will cause your machine's real-time clock to be
65 set to an invalid time after a resume.
67 config PM_SYSFS_DEPRECATED
68 bool "Driver model /sys/devices/.../power/state files (DEPRECATED)"
69 depends on PM && SYSFS
72 The driver model started out with a sysfs file intended to provide
73 a userspace hook for device power management. This feature has never
74 worked very well, except for limited testing purposes, and so it will
75 be removed. It's not clear that a generic mechanism could really
76 handle the wide variability of device power states; any replacements
77 are likely to be bus or driver specific.
79 config SOFTWARE_SUSPEND
80 bool "Software Suspend"
81 depends on PM && SWAP && ((X86 && (!SMP || SUSPEND_SMP)) || ((FRV || PPC32) && !SMP))
83 Enable the possibility of suspending the machine.
84 It doesn't need ACPI or APM.
85 You may suspend your machine by 'swsusp' or 'shutdown -z <time>'
86 (patch for sysvinit needed).
88 It creates an image which is saved in your active swap. Upon next
89 boot, pass the 'resume=/dev/swappartition' argument to the kernel to
90 have it detect the saved image, restore memory state from it, and
91 continue to run as before. If you do not want the previous state to
92 be reloaded, then use the 'noresume' kernel argument. However, note
93 that your partitions will be fsck'd and you must re-mkswap your swap
94 partitions. It does not work with swap files.
96 Right now you may boot without resuming and then later resume but
97 in meantime you cannot use those swap partitions/files which were
98 involved in suspending. Also in this case there is a risk that buffers
99 on disk won't match with saved ones.
101 For more information take a look at <file:Documentation/power/swsusp.txt>.
103 (For now, swsusp is incompatible with PAE aka HIGHMEM_64G on i386.
104 we need identity mapping for resume to work, and that is trivial
105 to get with 4MB pages, but less than trivial on PAE).
107 config PM_STD_PARTITION
108 string "Default resume partition"
109 depends on SOFTWARE_SUSPEND
112 The default resume partition is the partition that the suspend-
113 to-disk implementation will look for a suspended disk image.
115 The partition specified here will be different for almost every user.
116 It should be a valid swap partition (at least for now) that is turned
117 on before suspending.
119 The partition specified can be overridden by specifying:
121 resume=/dev/<other device>
123 which will set the resume partition to the device specified.
125 Note there is currently not a way to specify which device to save the
126 suspended image to. It will simply pick the first available swap
131 depends on HOTPLUG_CPU && X86 && PM
