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 DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND
48	bool "Keep console(s) enabled during suspend/resume (DANGEROUS)"
49	depends on PM_DEBUG
50	default n
51	---help---
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.
57
58config PM_TRACE
59	bool "Suspend/resume event tracing"
60	depends on PM_DEBUG && X86_32 && EXPERIMENTAL
61	default n
62	---help---
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).
66
67	To use this debugging feature you should attempt to suspend the machine,
68	then reboot it, then run
69
70		dmesg -s 1000000 | grep 'hash matches'
71
72	CAUTION: this option will cause your machine's real-time clock to be
73	set to an invalid time after a resume.
74
75config SOFTWARE_SUSPEND
76	bool "Software Suspend (Hibernation)"
77	depends on PM && SWAP && (((X86 || PPC64_SWSUSP) && (!SMP || SUSPEND_SMP)) || ((FRV || PPC32) && !SMP))
78	---help---
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.
82
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>.
86
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
91	  well with Linux.
92
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.
100
101	  It also works with swap files to a limited extent (for details see
102	  <file:Documentation/power/swsusp-and-swap-files.txt>).
103
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.
110
111	  For more information take a look at <file:Documentation/power/swsusp.txt>.
112
113config PM_STD_PARTITION
114	string "Default resume partition"
115	depends on SOFTWARE_SUSPEND
116	default ""
117	---help---
118	  The default resume partition is the partition that the suspend-
119	  to-disk implementation will look for a suspended disk image.
120
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.
124
125	  The partition specified can be overridden by specifying:
126
127		resume=/dev/<other device>
128
129	  which will set the resume partition to the device specified.
130
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
133	  device.
134
135config SUSPEND_SMP
136	bool
137	depends on HOTPLUG_CPU && (X86 || PPC64) && PM
138	default y
139
140config APM_EMULATION
141	tristate "Advanced Power Management Emulation"
142	depends on PM && SYS_SUPPORTS_APM_EMULATION
143	help
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).
150
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>.
155
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.
159
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
164	  APM in your BIOS).
