   1 config 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
  22 config 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
  32 config PM_DEBUG
  33         bool "Power Management Debug Support"
  34         depends on PM
  35         ---help---
  36         This option enables verbose debugging support in the Power Management
  37         code. This is helpful when debugging and reporting various PM bugs,
  38         like suspend support.
  39
  40 config DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND
  41         bool "Keep console(s) enabled during suspend/resume (DANGEROUS)"
  42         depends on PM && PM_DEBUG
  43         default n
  44         ---help---
  45         This option turns off the console suspend mechanism that prevents
  46         debug messages from reaching the console during the suspend/resume
  47         operations.  This may be helpful when debugging device drivers'
  48         suspend/resume routines, but may itself lead to problems, for example
  49         if netconsole is used.
  50
  51 config PM_TRACE
  52         bool "Suspend/resume event tracing"
  53         depends on PM && PM_DEBUG && X86_32 && EXPERIMENTAL
  54         default n
  55         ---help---
  56         This enables some cheesy code to save the last PM event point in the
  57         RTC across reboots, so that you can debug a machine that just hangs
  58         during suspend (or more commonly, during resume).
  59
  60         To use this debugging feature you should attempt to suspend the machine,
  61         then reboot it, then run
  62
  63                 dmesg -s 1000000 | grep 'hash matches'
  64
  65         CAUTION: this option will cause your machine's real-time clock to be
  66         set to an invalid time after a resume.
  67
  68 config PM_SYSFS_DEPRECATED
  69         bool "Driver model /sys/devices/.../power/state files (DEPRECATED)"
  70         depends on PM && SYSFS
  71         default n
  72         help
  73           The driver model started out with a sysfs file intended to provide
  74           a userspace hook for device power management.  This feature has never
  75           worked very well, except for limited testing purposes, and so it will
  76           be removed.   It's not clear that a generic mechanism could really
  77           handle the wide variability of device power states; any replacements
  78           are likely to be bus or driver specific.
  79
  80 config SOFTWARE_SUSPEND
  81         bool "Software Suspend"
  82         depends on PM && SWAP && ((X86 && (!SMP || SUSPEND_SMP)) || ((FRV || PPC32) && !SMP))
  83         ---help---
  84           Enable the suspend to disk (STD) functionality.
  85
  86           You can suspend your machine with 'echo disk > /sys/power/state'.
  87           Alternatively, you can use the additional userland tools available
  88           from <http://suspend.sf.net>.
  89
  90           In principle it does not require ACPI or APM, although for example
  91           ACPI will be used if available.
  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>.

 113 config 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
 135 config SUSPEND_SMP

 140 config APM_EMULATION
 141         tristate "Advanced Power Management 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).
