The prepare phase is meant to prevent races by preventing new devices + from being registered; the PM core would never know that all the + children of a device had been suspended if new children could be + registered at will. (By contrast, devices may be unregistered at any + time.) Unlike the other suspend-related phases, during the prepare + phase the device tree is traversed top-down. + + The prepare phase uses only a bus callback. After the callback method + returns, no new children may be registered below the device. The method + may also prepare the device or driver in some way for the upcoming + system power transition, but it should not put the device into a + low-power state. + + 2. The suspend methods should quiesce the device to stop it from performing + I/O. They also may save the device registers and put it into the + appropriate low-power state, depending on the bus type the device is on, + and they may enable wakeup events. + + 3. The suspend_noirq phase occurs after IRQ handlers have been disabled, + which means that the driver's interrupt handler will not be called while + the callback method is running. The methods should save the values of + the device's registers that weren't saved previously and finally put the + device into the appropriate low-power state. + + The majority of subsystems and device drivers need not implement this + callback. However, bus types allowing devices to share interrupt + vectors, like PCI, generally need it; otherwise a driver might encounter + an error during the suspend phase by fielding a shared interrupt + generated by some other device after its own device had been set to low + power. + +At the end of these phases, drivers should have stopped all I/O transactions +(DMA, IRQs), saved enough state that they can re-initialize or restore previous +state (as needed by the hardware), and placed the device into a low-power state. +On many platforms they will gate off one or more clock sources; sometimes they +will also switch off power supplies or reduce voltages. (Drivers supporting +runtime PM may already have performed some or all of these steps.) + +If device_may_wakeup(dev) returns true, the device should be prepared for +generating hardware wakeup signals to trigger a system wakeup event when the +system is in the sleep state. For example, enable_irq_wake() might identify +GPIO signals hooked up to a switch or other external hardware, and +pci_enable_wake() does something similar for the PCI PME signal. + +If any of these callbacks returns an error, the system won't enter the desired +low-power state. Instead the PM core will unwind its actions by resuming all +the devices that were suspended. + + +Leaving System Suspend +---------------------- +When resuming from standby or memory sleep, the phases are: + + resume_noirq, resume, complete. + + 1. The resume_noirq callback methods should perform any actions needed + before the driver's interrupt handlers are invoked. This generally + means undoing the actions of the suspend_noirq phase. If the bus type + permits devices to share interrupt vectors, like PCI, the method should + bring the device and its driver into a state in which the driver can + recognize if the device is the source of incoming interrupts, if any, + and handle them correctly. + + For example, the PCI bus type's ->pm.resume_noirq() puts the device into + the full-power state (D0 in the PCI terminology) and restores the + standard configuration registers of the device. Then it calls the + device driver's ->pm.resume_noirq() method to perform device-specific + actions. + + 2. The resume methods should bring the the device back to its operating + state, so that it can perform normal I/O. This generally involves + undoing the actions of the suspend phase. + + 3. The complete phase uses only a bus callback. The method should undo the + actions of the prepare phase. Note, however, that new children may be + registered below the device as soon as the resume callbacks occur; it's + not necessary to wait until the complete phase. + +At the end of these phases, drivers should be as functional as they were before +suspending: I/O can be performed using DMA and IRQs, and the relevant clocks are +gated on.

For example, +some systems support multiple "run" states, and the mode in effect at +the end of resume might not be the one which preceded suspension. +That means availability of certain clocks or power supplies changed, +which could easily affect how a driver works. + +Drivers need to be able to handle hardware which has been reset since the +suspend methods were called, for example by complete reinitialization. +This may be the hardest part, and the one most protected by NDA'd documents +and chip errata. It's simplest if the hardware state hasn't changed since +the suspend was carried out, but that can't be guaranteed (in fact, it ususally +is not the case). + +Drivers must also be prepared to notice that the device has been removed +while the system was powered down, whenever that's physically possible. +PCMCIA, MMC, USB, Firewire, SCSI, and even IDE are common examples of busses +where common Linux platforms will see such removal. Details of how drivers +will notice and handle such removals are currently bus-specific, and often +involve a separate thread. + +These callbacks may return an error value, but the PM core will ignore such +errors since there's nothing it can do about them other than printing them in +the system log. + + +Entering Hibernation +-------------------- +Hibernating the system is more complicated than putting it into the standby or +memory sleep state, because it involves creating and saving a system image. +Therefore there are more phases for hibernation, with a different set of +callbacks. These phases always run after tasks have been frozen and memory has +been freed. + +The general procedure for hibernation is to quiesce all devices (freeze), create +an image of the system memory while everything is stable, reactivate all +devices (thaw), write the image to permanent storage, and finally shut down the +system (poweroff). The phases used to accomplish this are: + + prepare, freeze, freeze_noirq, thaw_noirq, thaw, complete, + prepare, poweroff, poweroff_noirq + + 1. The prepare phase is discussed in the "Entering System Suspend" section + above. + + 2. The freeze methods should quiesce the device so that it doesn't generate + IRQs or DMA, and they may need to save the values of device registers. + However the device does not have to be put in a low-power state, and to + save time it's best not to do so. Also, the device should not be + prepared to generate wakeup events. + + 3. The freeze_noirq phase is analogous to the suspend_noirq phase discussed + above, except again that the device should not be put in a low-power + state and should not be allowed to generate wakeup events. + +At this point the system image is created. All devices should be inactive and +the contents of memory should remain undisturbed while this happens, so that the +image forms an atomic snapshot of the system state. + + 4. The thaw_noirq phase is analogous to the resume_noirq phase discussed + above. The main difference is that its methods can assume the device is + in the same state as at the end of the freeze_noirq phase. + + 5. The thaw phase is analogous to the resume phase discussed above. Its + methods should bring the device back to an operating state, so that it + can be used for saving the image if necessary. + + 6. The complete phase is discussed in the "Leaving System Suspend" section + above. + +At this point the system image is saved, and the devices then need to be +prepared for the upcoming system shutdown. This is much like suspending them +before putting the system into the standby or memory sleep state, and the phases +are similar. + + 7. The prepare phase is discussed above. + + 8. The poweroff phase is analogous to the suspend phase. + + 9. The poweroff_noirq phase is analogous to the suspend_noirq phase. + +The poweroff and poweroff_noirq callbacks should do essentially the same things +as the suspend and suspend_noirq callbacks. The only notable difference is that +they need not store the device register values, because the registers should +already have been stored during the freeze or freeze_noirq phases. + + +Leaving Hibernation +------------------- +Resuming from hibernation is, again, more complicated than resuming from a sleep +state in which the contents of main memory are preserved, because it requires +a system image to be loaded into memory and the pre-hibernation memory contents +to be restored before control can be passed back to the image kernel. + +Although in principle, the image might be loaded into memory and the +pre-hibernation memory contents restored by the boot loader, in practice this +can't be done because boot loaders aren't smart enough and there is no +established protocol for passing the necessary information. So instead, the +boot loader loads a fresh instance of the kernel, called the boot kernel, into +memory and passes control to it in the usual way. Then the boot kernel reads +the system image, restores the pre-hibernation memory contents, and passes +control to the image kernel. Thus two different kernels are involved in +resuming from hibernation. In fact, the boot kernel may be completely different +from the image kernel: a different configuration and even a different version. +This has important consequences for device drivers and their subsystems. + +To be able to load the system image into memory, the boot kernel needs to +include at least a subset of device drivers allowing it to access the storage +medium containing the image, although it doesn't need to include all of the +drivers present in the image kernel. After the image has been loaded, the +devices managed by the boot kernel need to be prepared for passing control back +to the image kernel. This is very similar to the initial steps involved in +creating a system image, and it is accomplished in the same way, using prepare, +freeze, and freeze_noirq phases. However the devices affected by these phases +are only those having drivers in the boot kernel; other devices will still be in +whatever state the boot loader left them. + +Should the restoration of the pre-hibernation memory contents fail, the boot +kernel would go through the "thawing" procedure described above, using the +thaw_noirq, thaw, and complete phases, and then continue running normally. This +happens only rarely. Most often the pre-hibernation memory contents are +restored successfully and control is passed to the image kernel, which then +becomes responsible for bringing the system back to the working state. + +To achieve this, the image kernel must restore the devices' pre-hibernation +functionality. The operation is much like waking up from the memory sleep +state, although it involves different phases: + + restore_noirq, restore, complete + + 1. The restore_noirq phase is analogous to the resume_noirq phase. + + 2. The restore phase is analogous to the resume phase. + + 3. The complete phase is discussed above. + +The main difference from resume[_noirq] is that restore[_noirq] must assume the +device has been accessed and reconfigured by the boot loader or the boot kernel. +Consequently the state of the device may be different from the state remembered +from the freeze and freeze_noirq phases. The device may even need to be reset +and completely re-initialized. In many cases this difference doesn't matter, so +the resume[_noirq] and restore[_norq] method pointers can be set to the same +routines. Nevertheless, different callback pointers are used in case there is a +situation where it actually matters. -If a driver (or bus, or class) fails it suspend method, the system won't -enter the desired low power state; it will resume all the devices it's -suspended so far. -Note that drivers may need to perform different actions based on the target -system lowpower/sleep state.
