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.
49 depends on PM_DEBUG && PM_SLEEP && EXPERIMENTAL
54 This enables code to save the last PM event point across
55 reboot. The architecture needs to support this, x86 for
56 example does by saving things in the RTC, see below.
58 The architecture specific code must provide the extern
59 functions from <linux/resume-trace.h> as well as the
60 <asm/resume-trace.h> header with a TRACE_RESUME() macro.
62 The way the information is presented is architecture-
63 dependent, x86 will print the information during a
67 bool "Suspend/resume event tracing"
68 depends on CAN_PM_TRACE
73 This enables some cheesy code to save the last PM event point in the
74 RTC across reboots, so that you can debug a machine that just hangs
75 during suspend (or more commonly, during resume).
77 To use this debugging feature you should attempt to suspend the
78 machine, reboot it and then run
80 dmesg -s 1000000 | grep 'hash matches'
82 CAUTION: this option will cause your machine's real-time clock to be
83 set to an invalid time after a resume.
88 depends on ARCH_SUSPEND_POSSIBLE || ARCH_HIBERNATION_POSSIBLE
95 depends on SUSPEND || HIBERNATION
99 bool "Suspend to RAM and standby"
100 depends on PM && ARCH_SUSPEND_POSSIBLE
103 Allow the system to enter sleep states in which main memory is
104 powered and thus its contents are preserved, such as the
105 suspend-to-RAM state (e.g. the ACPI S3 state).
107 config SUSPEND_FREEZER
108 bool "Enable freezer for suspend to RAM/standby" \
109 if ARCH_WANTS_FREEZER_CONTROL || BROKEN
113 This allows you to turn off the freezer for suspend. If this is
114 done, no tasks are frozen for suspend to RAM/standby.
116 Turning OFF this setting is NOT recommended! If in doubt, say Y.
119 bool "Hibernation (aka 'suspend to disk')"
120 depends on PM && SWAP && ARCH_HIBERNATION_POSSIBLE
122 Enable the suspend to disk (STD) functionality, which is usually
123 called "hibernation" in user interfaces. STD checkpoints the
124 system and powers it off; and restores that checkpoint on reboot.
126 You can suspend your machine with 'echo disk > /sys/power/state'
127 after placing resume=/dev/swappartition on the kernel command line
128 in your bootloader's configuration file.
130 Alternatively, you can use the additional userland tools available
131 from <http://suspend.sf.net>.
133 In principle it does not require ACPI or APM, although for example
134 ACPI will be used for the final steps when it is available. One
135 of the reasons to use software suspend is that the firmware hooks
136 for suspend states like suspend-to-RAM (STR) often don't work very
139 It creates an image which is saved in your active swap. Upon the next
140 boot, pass the 'resume=/dev/swappartition' argument to the kernel to
141 have it detect the saved image, restore memory state from it, and
142 continue to run as before. If you do not want the previous state to
143 be reloaded, then use the 'noresume' kernel command line argument.
144 Note, however, that fsck will be run on your filesystems and you will
145 need to run mkswap against the swap partition used for the suspend.
147 It also works with swap files to a limited extent (for details see
148 <file:Documentation/power/swsusp-and-swap-files.txt>).
150 Right now you may boot without resuming and resume later but in the
151 meantime you cannot use the swap partition(s)/file(s) involved in
152 suspending. Also in this case you must not use the filesystems
153 that were mounted before the suspend. In particular, you MUST NOT
154 MOUNT any journaled filesystems mounted before the suspend or they
155 will get corrupted in a nasty way.
157 For more information take a look at <file:Documentation/power/swsusp.txt>.
159 config PM_STD_PARTITION
160 string "Default resume partition"
161 depends on HIBERNATION
164 The default resume partition is the partition that the suspend-
165 to-disk implementation will look for a suspended disk image.
167 The partition specified here will be different for almost every user.
168 It should be a valid swap partition (at least for now) that is turned
169 on before suspending.
171 The partition specified can be overridden by specifying:
173 resume=/dev/<other device>
175 which will set the resume partition to the device specified.
177 Note there is currently not a way to specify which device to save the
178 suspended image to. It will simply pick the first available swap
182 tristate "Advanced Power Management Emulation"
183 depends on PM && SYS_SUPPORTS_APM_EMULATION
185 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
186 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
187 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
188 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
189 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
190 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
192 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
193 and more information, read <file:Documentation/pm.txt> and the
194 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
195 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
197 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
198 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
199 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
201 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
202 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
203 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
204 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
