12+
At least one global system-wide transition needs to be carried out for the
13+
system to get from the working state into one of the supported
14+
:doc:`sleep states <sleep-states>`. Hibernation requires more than one
15+
transition to occur for this purpose, but the other sleep states, commonly
16+
referred to as *system-wide suspend* (or simply *system suspend*) states, need
17+
only one.
18+
19+
For those sleep states, the transition from the working state of the system into
20+
the target sleep state is referred to as *system suspend* too (in the majority
21+
of cases, whether this means a transition or a sleep state of the system should
22+
be clear from the context) and the transition back from the sleep state into the
23+
working state is referred to as *system resume*.
24+
25+
The kernel code flows associated with the suspend and resume transitions for
26+
different sleep states of the system are quite similar, but there are some
27+
significant differences between the :ref:`suspend-to-idle <s2idle>` code flows
28+
and the code flows related to the :ref:`suspend-to-RAM <s2ram>` and
29+
:ref:`standby <standby>` sleep states.
30+
31+
The :ref:`suspend-to-RAM <s2ram>` and :ref:`standby <standby>` sleep states
32+
cannot be implemented without platform support and the difference between them
33+
boils down to the platform-specific actions carried out by the suspend and
34+
resume hooks that need to be provided by the platform driver to make them
35+
available. Apart from that, the suspend and resume code flows for these sleep
36+
states are mostly identical, so they both together will be referred to as
37+
*platform-dependent suspend* states in what follows.
38+
39+
40+
.. _s2idle_suspend:
41+
42+
Suspend-to-idle Suspend Code Flow
43+
=================================
44+
45+
The following steps are taken in order to transition the system from the working
46+
state to the :ref:`suspend-to-idle <s2idle>` sleep state:
47+
48+
1. Invoking system-wide suspend notifiers.
49+
50+
Kernel subsystems can register callbacks to be invoked when the suspend
51+
transition is about to occur and when the resume transition has finished.
52+
53+
That allows them to prepare for the change of the system state and to clean
54+
up after getting back to the working state.
55+
56+
2. Freezing tasks.
57+
58+
Tasks are frozen primarily in order to avoid unchecked hardware accesses
59+
from user space through MMIO regions or I/O registers exposed directly to
60+
it and to prevent user space from entering the kernel while the next step
61+
of the transition is in progress (which might have been problematic for
62+
various reasons).
63+
64+
All user space tasks are intercepted as though they were sent a signal and
65+
put into uninterruptible sleep until the end of the subsequent system resume
66+
transition.
67+
68+
The kernel threads that choose to be frozen during system suspend for
69+
specific reasons are frozen subsequently, but they are not intercepted.
70+
Instead, they are expected to periodically check whether or not they need
71+
to be frozen and to put themselves into uninterruptible sleep if so. [Note,
72+
however, that kernel threads can use locking and other concurrency controls
73+
available in kernel space to synchronize themselves with system suspend and
74+
resume, which can be much more precise than the freezing, so the latter is
75+
not a recommended option for kernel threads.]
76+
77+
3. Suspending devices and reconfiguring IRQs.
78+
79+
Devices are suspended in four phases called *prepare*, *suspend*,
80+
*late suspend* and *noirq suspend* (see :ref:`driverapi_pm_devices` for more
81+
information on what exactly happens in each phase).
82+
83+
Every device is visited in each phase, but typically it is not physically
84+
accessed in more than two of them.
85+
86+
The runtime PM API is disabled for every device during the *late* suspend
87+
phase and high-level ("action") interrupt handlers are prevented from being
88+
invoked before the *noirq* suspend phase.
89+
90+
Interrupts are still handled after that, but they are only acknowledged to
91+
interrupt controllers without performing any device-specific actions that
92+
would be triggered in the working state of the system (those actions are
93+
deferred till the subsequent system resume transition as described
94+
`below <s2idle_resume_>`_).
95+
96+
IRQs associated with system wakeup devices are "armed" so that the resume
97+
transition of the system is started when one of them signals an event.
98+
99+
4. Freezing the scheduler tick and suspending timekeeping.
100+
101+
When all devices have been suspended, CPUs enter the idle loop and are put
102+
into the deepest available idle state. While doing that, each of them
103+
"freezes" its own scheduler tick so that the timer events associated with
104+
the tick do not occur until the CPU is woken up by another interrupt source.
105+
106+
The last CPU to enter the idle state also stops the timekeeping which
107+
(among other things) prevents high resolution timers from triggering going
108+
forward until the first CPU that is woken up restarts the timekeeping.
109+
That allows the CPUs to stay in the deep idle state relatively long in one
110+
go.
111+
112+
From this point on, the CPUs can only be woken up by non-timer hardware
113+
interrupts. If that happens, they go back to the idle state unless the
114+
interrupt that woke up one of them comes from an IRQ that has been armed for
115+
system wakeup, in which case the system resume transition is started.
116+
117+
118+
.. _s2idle_resume:
119+
120+
Suspend-to-idle Resume Code Flow
121+
================================
122+
123+
The following steps are taken in order to transition the system from the
124+
:ref:`suspend-to-idle <s2idle>` sleep state into the working state:
125+
126+
1. Resuming timekeeping and unfreezing the scheduler tick.
127+
128+
When one of the CPUs is woken up (by a non-timer hardware interrupt), it
129+
leaves the idle state entered in the last step of the preceding suspend
130+
transition, restarts the timekeeping (unless it has been restarted already
131+
by another CPU that woke up earlier) and the scheduler tick on that CPU is
132+
unfrozen.
133+
134+
If the interrupt that has woken up the CPU was armed for system wakeup,
135+
the system resume transition begins.
136+
137+
2. Resuming devices and restoring the working-state configuration of IRQs.
138+
139+
Devices are resumed in four phases called *noirq resume*, *early resume*,
140+
*resume* and *complete* (see :ref:`driverapi_pm_devices` for more
141+
information on what exactly happens in each phase).
142+
143+
Every device is visited in each phase, but typically it is not physically
144+
accessed in more than two of them.
145+
146+
The working-state configuration of IRQs is restored after the *noirq* resume
147+
phase and the runtime PM API is re-enabled for every device whose driver
148+
supports it during the *early* resume phase.
149+
150+
3. Thawing tasks.
151+
152+
Tasks frozen in step 2 of the preceding `suspend <s2idle_suspend_>`_
153+
transition are "thawed", which means that they are woken up from the
154+
uninterruptible sleep that they went into at that time and user space tasks
155+
are allowed to exit the kernel.
156+
157+
4. Invoking system-wide resume notifiers.
158+
159+
This is analogous to step 1 of the `suspend <s2idle_suspend_>`_ transition
160+
and the same set of callbacks is invoked at this point, but a different
161+
"notification type" parameter value is passed to them.
162+
163+
164+
Platform-dependent Suspend Code Flow
165+
====================================
166+
167+
The following steps are taken in order to transition the system from the working
168+
state to platform-dependent suspend state:
169+
170+
1. Invoking system-wide suspend notifiers.
171+
172+
This step is the same as step 1 of the suspend-to-idle suspend transition
173+
described `above <s2idle_suspend_>`_.
174+
175+
2. Freezing tasks.
176+
177+
This step is the same as step 2 of the suspend-to-idle suspend transition
178+
described `above <s2idle_suspend_>`_.
179+
180+
3. Suspending devices and reconfiguring IRQs.
181+
182+
This step is analogous to step 3 of the suspend-to-idle suspend transition
183+
described `above <s2idle_suspend_>`_, but the arming of IRQs for system
184+
wakeup generally does not have any effect on the platform.
185+
186+
There are platforms that can go into a very deep low-power state internally
187+
when all CPUs in them are in sufficiently deep idle states and all I/O
188+
devices have been put into low-power states. On those platforms,
189+
suspend-to-idle can reduce system power very effectively.
190+
191+
On the other platforms, however, low-level components (like interrupt
192+
controllers) need to be turned off in a platform-specific way (implemented
193+
in the hooks provided by the platform driver) to achieve comparable power
194+
reduction.
195+
196+
That usually prevents in-band hardware interrupts from waking up the system,
197+
which must be done in a special platform-dependent way. Then, the
198+
configuration of system wakeup sources usually starts when system wakeup
199+
devices are suspended and is finalized by the platform suspend hooks later
200+
on.
201+
202+
4. Disabling non-boot CPUs.
203+
204+
On some platforms the suspend hooks mentioned above must run in a one-CPU
205+
configuration of the system (in particular, the hardware cannot be accessed
206+
by any code running in parallel with the platform suspend hooks that may,
207+
and often do, trap into the platform firmware in order to finalize the
208+
suspend transition).
209+
210+
For this reason, the CPU offline/online (CPU hotplug) framework is used
211+
to take all of the CPUs in the system, except for one (the boot CPU),
212+
offline (typically, the CPUs that have been taken offline go into deep idle
213+
states).
214+
215+
This means that all tasks are migrated away from those CPUs and all IRQs are
216+
rerouted to the only CPU that remains online.
217+
218+
5. Suspending core system components.
219+
220+
This prepares the core system components for (possibly) losing power going
221+
forward and suspends the timekeeping.
222+
223+
6. Platform-specific power removal.
224+
225+
This is expected to remove power from all of the system components except
226+
for the memory controller and RAM (in order to preserve the contents of the
227+
latter) and some devices designated for system wakeup.
228+
229+
In many cases control is passed to the platform firmware which is expected
230+
to finalize the suspend transition as needed.
231+
232+
233+
Platform-dependent Resume Code Flow
234+
===================================
235+
236+
The following steps are taken in order to transition the system from a
237+
platform-dependent suspend state into the working state:
238+
239+
1. Platform-specific system wakeup.
240+
241+
The platform is woken up by a signal from one of the designated system
242+
wakeup devices (which need not be an in-band hardware interrupt) and
243+
control is passed back to the kernel (the working configuration of the
244+
platform may need to be restored by the platform firmware before the
245+
kernel gets control again).
246+
247+
2. Resuming core system components.
248+
249+
The suspend-time configuration of the core system components is restored and
250+
the timekeeping is resumed.
251+
252+
3. Re-enabling non-boot CPUs.
253+
254+
The CPUs disabled in step 4 of the preceding suspend transition are taken
255+
back online and their suspend-time configuration is restored.
256+
257+
4. Resuming devices and restoring the working-state configuration of IRQs.
258+
259+
This step is the same as step 2 of the suspend-to-idle suspend transition
260+
described `above <s2idle_resume_>`_.
261+
262+
5. Thawing tasks.
263+
264+
This step is the same as step 3 of the suspend-to-idle suspend transition
265+
described `above <s2idle_resume_>`_.
266+
267+
6. Invoking system-wide resume notifiers.
268+
269+
This step is the same as step 4 of the suspend-to-idle suspend transition
270+
described `above <s2idle_resume_>`_.
