1config PM
2	bool "Power Management support"
3	depends on !IA64_HP_SIM
4	---help---
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.
10
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>.
17
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.
21
22config PM_LEGACY
23	bool "Legacy Power Management API (DEPRECATED)"
24	depends on PM
25	default n
26	---help---
27	   Support for pm_register() and friends.  This old API is obsoleted
28	   by the driver model.
29
30	   If unsure, say N.
31
32config PM_DEBUG
33	bool "Power Management Debug Support"
34	depends on PM
35	---help---
36	This option enables various debugging support in the Power Management
37	code. This is helpful when debugging and reporting PM bugs, like
38	suspend support.
39
40config PM_VERBOSE
41	bool "Verbose Power Management debugging"
42	depends on PM_DEBUG
43	default n
44	---help---
45	This option enables verbose messages from the Power Management code.
46
47config CAN_PM_TRACE
48	def_bool y
49	depends on PM_DEBUG && PM_SLEEP && EXPERIMENTAL
50
51config PM_TRACE
52	bool
53	help
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.
57
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.
61
62	  The way the information is presented is architecture-
63	  dependent, x86 will print the information during a
64	  late_initcall.
65
66config PM_TRACE_RTC
67	bool "Suspend/resume event tracing"
68	depends on CAN_PM_TRACE
69	depends on X86
70	select PM_TRACE
71	default n
72	---help---
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).
76
77	To use this debugging feature you should attempt to suspend the machine,
78	then reboot it, then run
79
80		dmesg -s 1000000 | grep 'hash matches'
81
82	CAUTION: this option will cause your machine's real-time clock to be
83	set to an invalid time after a resume.
84
85config PM_SLEEP_SMP
86	bool
87	depends on SMP
88	depends on ARCH_SUSPEND_POSSIBLE || ARCH_HIBERNATION_POSSIBLE
89	depends on PM_SLEEP
90	select HOTPLUG_CPU
91	default y
92
93config PM_SLEEP
94	bool
95	depends on SUSPEND || HIBERNATION
96	default y
97
98config SUSPEND
99	bool "Suspend to RAM and standby"
100	depends on PM && ARCH_SUSPEND_POSSIBLE
101	default y
102	---help---
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).
106
107config SUSPEND_FREEZER
108	bool "Enable freezer for suspend to RAM/standby" \
109		if ARCH_WANTS_FREEZER_CONTROL || BROKEN
110	depends on SUSPEND
111	default y
112	help
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.
115
116	  Turning OFF this setting is NOT recommended! If in doubt, say Y.
117
118config HIBERNATION
119	bool "Hibernation (aka 'suspend to disk')"
120	depends on PM && SWAP && ARCH_HIBERNATION_POSSIBLE
121	---help---
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.
125
126	  You can suspend your machine with 'echo disk > /sys/power/state'.
127	  Alternatively, you can use the additional userland tools available
128	  from <http://suspend.sf.net>.
129
130	  In principle it does not require ACPI or APM, although for example
131	  ACPI will be used for the final steps when it is available.  One
132	  of the reasons to use software suspend is that the firmware hooks
133	  for suspend states like suspend-to-RAM (STR) often don't work very
134	  well with Linux.
135
136	  It creates an image which is saved in your active swap. Upon the next
137	  boot, pass the 'resume=/dev/swappartition' argument to the kernel to
138	  have it detect the saved image, restore memory state from it, and
139	  continue to run as before. If you do not want the previous state to
140	  be reloaded, then use the 'noresume' kernel command line argument.
141	  Note, however, that fsck will be run on your filesystems and you will
142	  need to run mkswap against the swap partition used for the suspend.
143
144	  It also works with swap files to a limited extent (for details see
145	  <file:Documentation/power/swsusp-and-swap-files.txt>).
146
147	  Right now you may boot without resuming and resume later but in the
148	  meantime you cannot use the swap partition(s)/file(s) involved in
149	  suspending.  Also in this case you must not use the filesystems
150	  that were mounted before the suspend.  In particular, you MUST NOT
151	  MOUNT any journaled filesystems mounted before the suspend or they
152	  will get corrupted in a nasty way.
153
154	  For more information take a look at <file:Documentation/power/swsusp.txt>.
155
156config PM_STD_PARTITION
157	string "Default resume partition"
158	depends on HIBERNATION
159	default ""
160	---help---
161	  The default resume partition is the partition that the suspend-
162	  to-disk implementation will look for a suspended disk image.
163
164	  The partition specified here will be different for almost every user.
165	  It should be a valid swap partition (at least for now) that is turned
166	  on before suspending.
167
168	  The partition specified can be overridden by specifying:
169
170		resume=/dev/<other device>
171
172	  which will set the resume partition to the device specified.
173
174	  Note there is currently not a way to specify which device to save the
175	  suspended image to. It will simply pick the first available swap
176	  device.
177
178config APM_EMULATION
179	tristate "Advanced Power Management Emulation"
180	depends on PM && SYS_SUPPORTS_APM_EMULATION
181	help
182	  APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
183	  techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
184	  APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
185	  reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
186	  battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
187	  notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
188
189	  In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
190	  and more information, read <file:Documentation/pm.txt> and the
191	  Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
192	  <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
193
194	  This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
195	  manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
196	  VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
197
198	  Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
199	  much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
200	  random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
201	  anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
202	  APM in your BIOS).
