|
+Description:
|
|
|
+ The /sys/power/state file controls the system power state.
|
|
|
+ Reading from this file returns what states are supported,
|
|
|
+ which is hard-coded to 'standby' (Power-On Suspend), 'mem'
|
|
|
+ (Suspend-to-RAM), and 'disk' (Suspend-to-Disk).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Writing to this file one of these strings causes the system to
|
|
|
+ transition into that state. Please see the file
|
|
|
+ Documentation/power/states.txt for a description of each of
|
|
|
+ these states.

|
|
|
+Description:
|
|
|
+ The /sys/power/disk file controls the operating mode of the
|
|
|
+ suspend-to-disk mechanism. Reading from this file returns
|
|
|
+ the name of the method by which the system will be put to
|
|
|
+ sleep on the next suspend. There are four methods supported:
|
|
|
+ 'firmware' - means that the memory image will be saved to disk
|
|
|
+ by some firmware, in which case we also assume that the
|
|
|
+ firmware will handle the system suspend.
|
|
|
+ 'platform' - the memory image will be saved by the kernel and
|
|
|
+ the system will be put to sleep by the platform driver (e.g.
|
|
|
+ ACPI or other PM registers).
|
|
|
+ 'shutdown' - the memory image will be saved by the kernel and
|
|
|
+ the system will be powered off.
|
|
|
+ 'reboot' - the memory image will be saved by the kernel and
|
|
|
+ the system will be rebooted.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ The suspend-to-disk method may be chosen by writing to this
|
|
|
+ file one of the accepted strings:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ 'firmware'
|
|
|
+ 'platform'
|
|
|
+ 'shutdown'
|
|
|
+ 'reboot'
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ It will only change to 'firmware' or 'platform' if the system
|
|
|
+ supports that.

|
|
|
+Description:
|
|
|
+ The /sys/power/image_size file controls the size of the image
|
|
|
+ created by the suspend-to-disk mechanism. It can be written a
|
|
|
+ string representing a non-negative integer that will be used
|
|
|
+ as an upper limit of the image size, in bytes. The kernel's
|
|
|
+ suspend-to-disk code will do its best to ensure the image size
|
|
|
+ will not exceed this number. However, if it turns out to be
|
|
|
+ impossible, the kernel will try to suspend anyway using the
|
|
|
+ smallest image possible. In particular, if "0" is written to
|
|
|
+ this file, the suspend image will be as small as possible.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Reading from this file will display the current image size
|
|
|
+ limit, which is set to 500 MB by default.

|
|
|
+Description:
|
|
|
+ The /sys/power/pm_trace file controls the code which saves the
|
|
|
+ last PM event point in the RTC across reboots, so that you can
|
|
|
+ debug a machine that just hangs during suspend (or more
|
|
|
+ commonly, during resume). Namely, the RTC is only used to save
|
|
|
+ the last PM event point if this file contains '1'. Initially
|
|
|
+ it contains '0' which may be changed to '1' by writing a
|
|
|
+ string representing a nonzero integer into it.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ To use this debugging feature you should attempt to suspend
|
|
|
+ the machine, then reboot it and run
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ dmesg -s 1000000 | grep 'hash matches'
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ CAUTION: Using it will cause your machine's real-time (CMOS)
|
|
|
+ clock to be set to a random invalid time after a resume.
