Alan Stern 15bcb91d7e PM / Runtime: Implement autosuspend support 
This patch (as1427) implements the "autosuspend" facility for runtime
PM.  A few new fields are added to the dev_pm_info structure and
several new PM helper functions are defined, for telling the PM core
whether or not a device uses autosuspend, for setting the autosuspend
delay, and for marking periods of device activity.

Drivers that do not want to use autosuspend can continue using the
same helper functions as before; their behavior will not change.  In
addition, drivers supporting autosuspend can also call the old helper
functions to get the old behavior.

The details are all explained in Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt
and Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-power.

What: /sys/devices/.../power/
Date: January 2009
Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
Description:
The /sys/devices/.../power directory contains attributes
allowing the user space to check and modify some power
management related properties of given device.
What: /sys/devices/.../power/wakeup
Date: January 2009
Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
Description:
The /sys/devices/.../power/wakeup attribute allows the user
space to check if the device is enabled to wake up the system
from sleep states, such as the memory sleep state (suspend to
RAM) and hibernation (suspend to disk), and to enable or disable
it to do that as desired.
Some devices support "wakeup" events, which are hardware signals
used to activate the system from a sleep state. Such devices
have one of the following two values for the sysfs power/wakeup
file:
+ "enabled\n" to issue the events;
+ "disabled\n" not to do so;
In that cases the user space can change the setting represented
by the contents of this file by writing either "enabled", or
"disabled" to it.
For the devices that are not capable of generating system wakeup
events this file contains "\n". In that cases the user space
cannot modify the contents of this file and the device cannot be
enabled to wake up the system.
What: /sys/devices/.../power/control
Date: January 2009
Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
Description:
The /sys/devices/.../power/control attribute allows the user
space to control the run-time power management of the device.
All devices have one of the following two values for the
power/control file:
+ "auto\n" to allow the device to be power managed at run time;
+ "on\n" to prevent the device from being power managed;
The default for all devices is "auto", which means that they may
be subject to automatic power management, depending on their
drivers. Changing this attribute to "on" prevents the driver
from power managing the device at run time. Doing that while
the device is suspended causes it to be woken up.
What: /sys/devices/.../power/async
Date: January 2009
Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
Description:
The /sys/devices/.../async attribute allows the user space to
enable or diasble the device's suspend and resume callbacks to
be executed asynchronously (ie. in separate threads, in parallel
with the main suspend/resume thread) during system-wide power
transitions (eg. suspend to RAM, hibernation).
All devices have one of the following two values for the
power/async file:
+ "enabled\n" to permit the asynchronous suspend/resume;
+ "disabled\n" to forbid it;
The value of this attribute may be changed by writing either
"enabled", or "disabled" to it.
It generally is unsafe to permit the asynchronous suspend/resume
of a device unless it is certain that all of the PM dependencies
of the device are known to the PM core. However, for some
devices this attribute is set to "enabled" by bus type code or
device drivers and in that cases it should be safe to leave the
default value.
What: /sys/devices/.../power/wakeup_count
Date: September 2010
Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
Description:
The /sys/devices/.../wakeup_count attribute contains the number
of signaled wakeup events associated with the device. This
attribute is read-only. If the device is not enabled to wake up
the system from sleep states, this attribute is empty.
What: /sys/devices/.../power/wakeup_active_count
Date: September 2010
Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
Description:
The /sys/devices/.../wakeup_active_count attribute contains the
number of times the processing of wakeup events associated with
the device was completed (at the kernel level). This attribute
is read-only. If the device is not enabled to wake up the
system from sleep states, this attribute is empty.
What: /sys/devices/.../power/wakeup_hit_count
Date: September 2010
Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
Description:
The /sys/devices/.../wakeup_hit_count attribute contains the
number of times the processing of a wakeup event associated with
the device might prevent the system from entering a sleep state.
This attribute is read-only. If the device is not enabled to
wake up the system from sleep states, this attribute is empty.
What: /sys/devices/.../power/wakeup_active
Date: September 2010
Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
Description:
The /sys/devices/.../wakeup_active attribute contains either 1,
or 0, depending on whether or not a wakeup event associated with
the device is being processed (1). This attribute is read-only.
If the device is not enabled to wake up the system from sleep
states, this attribute is empty.
What: /sys/devices/.../power/wakeup_total_time_ms
Date: September 2010
Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
Description:
The /sys/devices/.../wakeup_total_time_ms attribute contains
the total time of processing wakeup events associated with the
device, in milliseconds. This attribute is read-only. If the
device is not enabled to wake up the system from sleep states,
this attribute is empty.
What: /sys/devices/.../power/wakeup_max_time_ms
Date: September 2010
Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
Description:
The /sys/devices/.../wakeup_max_time_ms attribute contains
the maximum time of processing a single wakeup event associated
with the device, in milliseconds. This attribute is read-only.
If the device is not enabled to wake up the system from sleep
states, this attribute is empty.
What: /sys/devices/.../power/wakeup_last_time_ms
Date: September 2010
Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
Description:
The /sys/devices/.../wakeup_last_time_ms attribute contains
the value of the monotonic clock corresponding to the time of
signaling the last wakeup event associated with the device, in
milliseconds. This attribute is read-only. If the device is
not enabled to wake up the system from sleep states, this
attribute is empty.
What: /sys/devices/.../power/autosuspend_delay_ms
Date: September 2010
Contact: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>
Description:
The /sys/devices/.../power/autosuspend_delay_ms attribute
contains the autosuspend delay value (in milliseconds). Some
drivers do not want their device to suspend as soon as it
becomes idle at run time; they want the device to remain
inactive for a certain minimum period of time first. That
period is called the autosuspend delay. Negative values will
prevent the device from being suspended at run time (similar
to writing "on" to the power/control attribute). Values >=
1000 will cause the autosuspend timer expiration to be rounded
up to the nearest second.
Not all drivers support this attribute. If it isn't supported,
attempts to read or write it will yield I/O errors.
