Buffer object allocation is relatively + straightforward and largely provided by Linux's shmem layer, which + provides memory to back each object. When mapped into the GTT + or used in a command buffer, the backing pages for an object are + flushed to memory and marked write combined so as to be coherent + with the GPU. Likewise, when the GPU finishes rendering to an object, + if the CPU accesses it, it must be made coherent with the CPU's view + of memory, usually involving GPU cache flushing of various kinds. + This core CPU<->GPU coherency management is provided by the GEM + set domain function, which evaluates an object's current domain and + performs any necessary flushing or synchronization to put the object + into the desired coherency domain (note that the object may be busy, + i.e. an active render target; in that case the set domain function + will block the client and wait for rendering to complete before + performing any necessary flushing operations). + </para> + <para> + Perhaps the most important GEM function is providing a command + execution interface to clients. Client programs construct command + buffers containing references to previously allocated memory objects + and submit them to GEM. At that point, GEM will take care to bind + all the objects into the GTT, execute the buffer, and provide + necessary synchronization between clients accessing the same buffers. + This often involves evicting some objects from the GTT and re-binding + others (a fairly expensive operation), and providing relocation + support which hides fixed GTT offsets from clients. Clients must + take care not to submit command buffers that reference more objects + than can fit in the GTT or GEM will reject them and no rendering + will occur. Similarly, if several objects in the buffer require + fence registers to be allocated for correct rendering (e.g. 2D blits + on pre-965 chips), care must be taken not to require more fence + registers than are available to the client.

That means a guest page table contains more ptes than the host, + so multiple shadow pages are needed to shadow one guest page. + For first-level shadow pages, role.quadrant can be 0 or 1 and denotes the + first or second 512-gpte block in the guest page table. For second-level + page tables, each 32-bit gpte is converted to two 64-bit sptes + (since each first-level guest page is shadowed by two first-level + shadow pages) so role.quadrant takes values in the range 0..3.

While this counter is nonzero, the + page cannot be destroyed. See role.invalid. + multimapped: + Whether there exist multiple sptes pointing at this page. + parent_pte/parent_ptes: + If multimapped is zero, parent_pte points at the single spte that points at + this page's spt.

This is equivalent to the state of the tlb when a pte is + changed but before the tlb entry is flushed.

Used to quickly locate all unsychronized + pages reachable from a given page. + +Reverse map +=========== + +The mmu maintains a reverse mapping whereby all ptes mapping a page can be +reached given its gfn. This is used, for example, when swapping out a page. + +Synchronized and unsynchronized pages +===================================== + +The guest uses two events to synchronize its tlb and page tables: tlb flushes +and page invalidations (invlpg). + +A tlb flush means that we need to synchronize all sptes reachable from the +guest's cr3. This is expensive, so we keep all guest page tables write +protected, and synchronize sptes to gptes when a gpte is written. + +A special case is when a guest page table is reachable from the current +guest cr3. In this case, the guest is obliged to issue an invlpg instruction +before using the translation. We take advantage of that by removing write +protection from the guest page, and allowing the guest to modify it freely. +We synchronize modified gptes when the guest invokes invlpg. This reduces +the amount of emulation we have to do when the guest modifies multiple gptes, +or when the a guest page is no longer used as a page table and is used for +random guest data. + +As a side effect we have to resynchronize all reachable unsynchronized shadow +pages on a tlb flush. + + +Reaction to events +================== + +- guest page fault (or npt page fault, or ept violation) + +This is the most complicated event.

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. Even if the device was in a low-power state before the system sleep +because of runtime power management, afterwards it should be back in its +full-power state. There are multiple reasons why it's best to do this; they are +discussed in more detail in Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt. -When any driver sees that its device_can_wakeup(dev), it should make sure -to use the relevant hardware signals to trigger a system wakeup event. -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 PCI's PME# signal. +However, the details here may again be platform-specific. 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.

Hardware and Platform Support for PCI Power Management +========================================================= + +1.1. Native and Platform-Based Power Management +----------------------------------------------- +In general, power management is a feature allowing one to save energy by putting +devices into states in which they draw less power (low-power states) at the +price of reduced functionality or performance. + +Usually, a device is put into a low-power state when it is underutilized or +completely inactive. However, when it is necessary to use the device once +again, it has to be put back into the "fully functional" state (full-power +state). This may happen when there are some data for the device to handle or +as a result of an external event requiring the device to be active, which may +be signaled by the device itself. + +PCI devices may be put into low-power states in two ways, by using the device +capabilities introduced by the PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification, +or with the help of platform firmware, such as an ACPI BIOS. In the first +approach, that is referred to as the native PCI power management (native PCI PM) +in what follows, the device power state is changed as a result of writing a +specific value into one of its standard configuration registers. The second +approach requires the platform firmware to provide special methods that may be +used by the kernel to change the device's power state. + +Devices supporting the native PCI PM usually can generate wakeup signals called +Power Management Events (PMEs) to let the kernel know about external events +requiring the device to be active. After receiving a PME the kernel is supposed +to put the device that sent it into the full-power state. However, the PCI Bus +Power Management Interface Specification doesn't define any standard method of +delivering the PME from the device to the CPU and the operating system kernel. +It is assumed that the platform firmware will perform this task and therefore, +even though a PCI device is set up to generate PMEs, it also may be necessary to +prepare the platform firmware for notifying the CPU of the PMEs coming from the +device (e.g. by generating interrupts). + +In turn, if the methods provided by the platform firmware are used for changing +the power state of a device, usually the platform also provides a method for +preparing the device to generate wakeup signals. In that case, however, it +often also is necessary to prepare the device for generating PMEs using the +native PCI PM mechanism, because the method provided by the platform depends on +that. + +Thus in many situations both the native and the platform-based power management +mechanisms have to be used simultaneously to obtain the desired result. + +1.2. Native PCI Power Management +-------------------------------- +The PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification (PCI PM Spec) was +introduced between the PCI 2.1 and PCI 2.2 Specifications. It defined a +standard interface for performing various operations related to power +management. + +The implementation of the PCI PM Spec is optional for conventional PCI devices, +but it is mandatory for PCI Express devices. If a device supports the PCI PM +Spec, it has an 8 byte power management capability field in its PCI +configuration space. This field is used to describe and control the standard +features related to the native PCI power management. + +The PCI PM Spec defines 4 operating states for devices (D0-D3) and for buses +(B0-B3). The higher the number, the less power is drawn by the device or bus +in that state. However, the higher the number, the longer the latency for +the device or bus to return to the full-power state (D0 or B0, respectively). + +There are two variants of the D3 state defined by the specification. The first +one is D3hot, referred to as the software accessible D3, because devices can be +programmed to go into it. The second one, D3cold, is the state that PCI devices +are in when the supply voltage (Vcc) is removed from them. It is not possible +to program a PCI device to go into D3cold, although there may be a programmable +interface for putting the bus the device is on into a state in which Vcc is +removed from all devices on the bus. + +PCI bus power management, however, is not supported by the Linux kernel at the +time of this writing and therefore it is not covered by this document. + +Note that every PCI device can be in the full-power state (D0) or in D3cold, +regardless of whether or not it implements the PCI PM Spec. In addition to +that, if the PCI PM Spec is implemented by the device, it must support D3hot +as well as D0. The support for the D1 and D2 power states is optional. + +PCI devices supporting the PCI PM Spec can be programmed to go to any of the +supported low-power states (except for D3cold). While in D1-D3hot the +standard configuration registers of the device must be accessible to software +(i.e. the device is required to respond to PCI configuration accesses), although +its I/O and memory spaces are then disabled. This allows the device to be +programmatically put into D0. Thus the kernel can switch the device back and +forth between D0 and the supported low-power states (except for D3cold) and the +possible power state transitions the device can undergo are the following: + ++----------------------------+ +| Current State | New State | ++----------------------------+ +| D0 | D1, D2, D3 | ++----------------------------+ +| D1 | D2, D3 | ++----------------------------+ +| D2 | D3 | ++----------------------------+ +| D1, D2, D3 | D0 | ++----------------------------+ + +The transition from D3cold to D0 occurs when the supply voltage is provided to +the device (i.e. power is restored). In that case the device returns to D0 with +a full power-on reset sequence and the power-on defaults are restored to the +device by hardware just as at initial power up. + +PCI devices supporting the PCI PM Spec can be programmed to generate PMEs +while in a low-power state (D1-D3), but they are not required to be capable +of generating PMEs from all supported low-power states. In particular, the +capability of generating PMEs from D3cold is optional and depends on the +presence of additional voltage (3.3Vaux) allowing the device to remain +sufficiently active to generate a wakeup signal. + +1.3. ACPI Device Power Management +--------------------------------- +The platform firmware support for the power management of PCI devices is +system-specific. However, if the system in question is compliant with the +Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) Specification, like the +majority of x86-based systems, it is supposed to implement device power +management interfaces defined by the ACPI standard. + +For this purpose the ACPI BIOS provides special functions called "control +methods" that may be executed by the kernel to perform specific tasks, such as +putting a device into a low-power state. These control methods are encoded +using special byte-code language called the ACPI Machine Language (AML) and +stored in the machine's BIOS. The kernel loads them from the BIOS and executes +them as needed using an AML interpreter that translates the AML byte code into +computations and memory or I/O space accesses. This way, in theory, a BIOS +writer can provide the kernel with a means to perform actions depending +on the system design in a system-specific fashion. + +ACPI control methods may be divided into global control methods, that are not +associated with any particular devices, and device control methods, that have +to be defined separately for each device supposed to be handled with the help of +the platform. This means, in particular, that ACPI device control methods can +only be used to handle devices that the BIOS writer knew about in advance. The +ACPI methods used for device power management fall into that category. + +The ACPI specification assumes that devices can be in one of four power states +labeled as D0, D1, D2, and D3 that roughly correspond to the native PCI PM +D0-D3 states (although the difference between D3hot and D3cold is not taken +into account by ACPI). Moreover, for each power state of a device there is a +set of power resources that have to be enabled for the device to be put into +that state. These power resources are controlled (i.e. enabled or disabled) +with the help of their own control methods, _ON and _OFF, that have to be +defined individually for each of them. + +To put a device into the ACPI power state Dx (where x is a number between 0 and +3 inclusive) the kernel is supposed to (1) enable the power resources required +by the device in this state using their _ON control methods and (2) execute the +_PSx control method defined for the device. In addition to that, if the device +is going to be put into a low-power state (D1-D3) and is supposed to generate +wakeup signals from that state, the _DSW (or _PSW, replaced with _DSW by ACPI +3.0) control method defined for it has to be executed before _PSx. Power +resources that are not required by the device in the target power state and are +not required any more by any other device should be disabled (by executing their +_OFF control methods). If the current power state of the device is D3, it can +only be put into D0 this way. + +However, quite often the power states of devices are changed during a +system-wide transition into a sleep state or back into the working state. ACPI +defines four system sleep states, S1, S2, S3, and S4, and denotes the system +working state as S0. In general, the target system sleep (or working) state +determines the highest power (lowest number) state the device can be put +into and the kernel is supposed to obtain this information by executing the +device's _SxD control method (where x is a number between 0 and 4 inclusive). +If the device is required to wake up the system from the target sleep state, the +lowest power (highest number) state it can be put into is also determined by the +target state of the system. The kernel is then supposed to use the device's +_SxW control method to obtain the number of that state. It also is supposed to +use the device's _PRW control method to learn which power resources need to be +enabled for the device to be able to generate wakeup signals. + +1.4. Wakeup Signaling +--------------------- +Wakeup signals generated by PCI devices, either as native PCI PMEs, or as +a result of the execution of the _DSW (or _PSW) ACPI control method before +putting the device into a low-power state, have to be caught and handled as +appropriate. If they are sent while the system is in the working state +(ACPI S0), they should be translated into interrupts so that the kernel can +put the devices generating them into the full-power state and take care of the +events that triggered them. In turn, if they are sent while the system is +sleeping, they should cause the system's core logic to trigger wakeup. + +On ACPI-based systems wakeup signals sent by conventional PCI devices are +converted into ACPI General-Purpose Events (GPEs) which are hardware signals +from the system core logic generated in response to various events that need to +be acted upon. Every GPE is associated with one or more sources of potentially +interesting events. In particular, a GPE may be associated with a PCI device +capable of signaling wakeup. The information on the connections between GPEs +and event sources is recorded in the system's ACPI BIOS from where it can be +read by the kernel. + +If a PCI device known to the system's ACPI BIOS signals wakeup, the GPE +associated with it (if there is one) is triggered. The GPEs associated with PCI +bridges may also be triggered in response to a wakeup signal from one of the +devices below the bridge (this also is the case for root bridges) and, for +example, native PCI PMEs from devices unknown to the system's ACPI BIOS may be +handled this way. + +A GPE may be triggered when the system is sleeping (i.e. when it is in one of +the ACPI S1-S4 states), in which case system wakeup is started by its core logic +(the device that was the source of the signal causing the system wakeup to occur +may be identified later). The GPEs used in such situations are referred to as +wakeup GPEs. + +Usually, however, GPEs are also triggered when the system is in the working +state (ACPI S0) and in that case the system's core logic generates a System +Control Interrupt (SCI) to notify the kernel of the event. Then, the SCI +handler identifies the GPE that caused the interrupt to be generated which, +in turn, allows the kernel to identify the source of the event (that may be +a PCI device signaling wakeup). The GPEs used for notifying the kernel of +events occurring while the system is in the working state are referred to as +runtime GPEs. + +Unfortunately, there is no standard way of handling wakeup signals sent by +conventional PCI devices on systems that are not ACPI-based, but there is one +for PCI Express devices. Namely, the PCI Express Base Specification introduced +a native mechanism for converting native PCI PMEs into interrupts generated by +root ports. For conventional PCI devices native PMEs are out-of-band, so they +are routed separately and they need not pass through bridges (in principle they +may be routed directly to the system's core logic), but for PCI Express devices +they are in-band messages that have to pass through the PCI Express hierarchy, +including the root port on the path from the device to the Root Complex. Thus +it was possible to introduce a mechanism by which a root port generates an +interrupt whenever it receives a PME message from one of the devices below it. +The PCI Express Requester ID of the device that sent the PME message is then +recorded in one of the root port's configuration registers from where it may be +read by the interrupt handler allowing the device to be identified. [PME +messages sent by PCI Express endpoints integrated with the Root Complex don't +pass through root ports, but instead they cause a Root Complex Event Collector +(if there is one) to generate interrupts.] + +In principle the native PCI Express PME signaling may also be used on ACPI-based +systems along with the GPEs, but to use it the kernel has to ask the system's +ACPI BIOS to release control of root port configuration registers. The ACPI +BIOS, however, is not required to allow the kernel to control these registers +and if it doesn't do that, the kernel must not modify their contents. Of course +the native PCI Express PME signaling cannot be used by the kernel in that case. + + +2. PCI Subsystem and Device Power Management +============================================ + +2.1. Device Power Management Callbacks +-------------------------------------- +The PCI Subsystem participates in the power management of PCI devices in a +number of ways. First of all, it provides an intermediate code layer between +the device power management core (PM core) and PCI device drivers. +Specifically, the pm field of the PCI subsystem's struct bus_type object, +pci_bus_type, points to a struct dev_pm_ops object, pci_dev_pm_ops, containing +pointers to several device power management callbacks: + +const struct dev_pm_ops pci_dev_pm_ops = { + .prepare = pci_pm_prepare, + .complete = pci_pm_complete, + .suspend = pci_pm_suspend, + .resume = pci_pm_resume, + .freeze = pci_pm_freeze, + .thaw = pci_pm_thaw, + .poweroff = pci_pm_poweroff, + .restore = pci_pm_restore, + .suspend_noirq = pci_pm_suspend_noirq, + .resume_noirq = pci_pm_resume_noirq, + .freeze_noirq = pci_pm_freeze_noirq, + .thaw_noirq = pci_pm_thaw_noirq, + .poweroff_noirq = pci_pm_poweroff_noirq, + .restore_noirq = pci_pm_restore_noirq, + .runtime_suspend = pci_pm_runtime_suspend, + .runtime_resume = pci_pm_runtime_resume, + .runtime_idle = pci_pm_runtime_idle, +}; + +These callbacks are executed by the PM core in various situations related to +device power management and they, in turn, execute power management callbacks +provided by PCI device drivers. They also perform power management operations +involving some standard configuration registers of PCI devices that device +drivers need not know or care about. + +The structure representing a PCI device, struct pci_dev, contains several fields +that these callbacks operate on: + +struct pci_dev { + ... + pci_power_t current_state; /* Current operating state. */ + int pm_cap; /* PM capability offset in the + configuration space */ + unsigned int pme_support:5; /* Bitmask of states from which PME# + can be generated */ + unsigned int pme_interrupt:1;/* Is native PCIe PME signaling used? */ + unsigned int d1_support:1; /* Low power state D1 is supported */ + unsigned int d2_support:1; /* Low power state D2 is supported */ + unsigned int no_d1d2:1; /* D1 and D2 are forbidden */ + unsigned int wakeup_prepared:1; /* Device prepared for wake up */ + unsigned int d3_delay; /* D3->D0 transition time in ms */ + ... +}; + +They also indirectly use some fields of the struct device that is embedded in +struct pci_dev. + +2.2. Device Initialization +-------------------------- +The PCI subsystem's first task related to device power management is to +prepare the device for power management and initialize the fields of struct +pci_dev used for this purpose. This happens in two functions defined in +drivers/pci/pci.c, pci_pm_init() and platform_pci_wakeup_init(). + +The first of these functions checks if the device supports native PCI PM +and if that's the case the offset of its power management capability structure +in the configuration space is stored in the pm_cap field of the device's struct +pci_dev object. Next, the function checks which PCI low-power states are +supported by the device and from which low-power states the device can generate +native PCI PMEs. The power management fields of the device's struct pci_dev and +the struct device embedded in it are updated accordingly and the generation of +PMEs by the device is disabled. + +The second function checks if the device can be prepared to signal wakeup with +the help of the platform firmware, such as the ACPI BIOS. If that is the case, +the function updates the wakeup fields in struct device embedded in the +device's struct pci_dev and uses the firmware-provided method to prevent the +device from signaling wakeup. + +At this point the device is ready for power management. For driverless devices, +however, this functionality is limited to a few basic operations carried out +during system-wide transitions to a sleep state and back to the working state. + +2.3. Runtime Device Power Management +------------------------------------ +The PCI subsystem plays a vital role in the runtime power management of PCI +devices. For this purpose it uses the general runtime power management +(runtime PM) framework described in Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt. +Namely, it provides subsystem-level callbacks: + + pci_pm_runtime_suspend() + pci_pm_runtime_resume() + pci_pm_runtime_idle() + +that are executed by the core runtime PM routines. It also implements the +entire mechanics necessary for handling runtime wakeup signals from PCI devices +in low-power states, which at the time of this writing works for both the native +PCI Express PME signaling and the ACPI GPE-based wakeup signaling described in +Section 1. + +First, a PCI device is put into a low-power state, or suspended, with the help +of pm_schedule_suspend() or pm_runtime_suspend() which for PCI devices call +pci_pm_runtime_suspend() to do the actual job. For this to work, the device's +driver has to provide a pm->runtime_suspend() callback (see below), which is +run by pci_pm_runtime_suspend() as the first action. If the driver's callback +returns successfully, the device's standard configuration registers are saved, +the device is prepared to generate wakeup signals and, finally, it is put into +the target low-power state. + +The low-power state to put the device into is the lowest-power (highest number) +state from which it can signal wakeup. The exact method of signaling wakeup is +system-dependent and is determined by the PCI subsystem on the basis of the +reported capabilities of the device and the platform firmware. To prepare the +device for signaling wakeup and put it into the selected low-power state, the +PCI subsystem can use the platform firmware as well as the device's native PCI +PM capabilities, if supported. + +It is expected that the device driver's pm->runtime_suspend() callback will +not attempt to prepare the device for signaling wakeup or to put it into a +low-power state. The driver ought to leave these tasks to the PCI subsystem +that has all of the information necessary to perform them. + +A suspended device is brought back into the "active" state, or resumed, +with the help of pm_request_resume() or pm_runtime_resume() which both call +pci_pm_runtime_resume() for PCI devices. Again, this only works if the device's +driver provides a pm->runtime_resume() callback (see below). However, before +the driver's callback is executed, pci_pm_runtime_resume() brings the device +back into the full-power state, prevents it from signaling wakeup while in that +state and restores its standard configuration registers. Thus the driver's +callback need not worry about the PCI-specific aspects of the device resume. + +Note that generally pci_pm_runtime_resume() may be called in two different +situations. First, it may be called at the request of the device's driver, for +example if there are some data for it to process. Second, it may be called +as a result of a wakeup signal from the device itself (this sometimes is +referred to as "remote wakeup"). Of course, for this purpose the wakeup signal +is handled in one of the ways described in Section 1 and finally converted into +a notification for the PCI subsystem after the source device has been +identified. + +The pci_pm_runtime_idle() function, called for PCI devices by pm_runtime_idle() +and pm_request_idle(), executes the device driver's pm->runtime_idle() +callback, if defined, and if that callback doesn't return error code (or is not +present at all), suspends the device with the help of pm_runtime_suspend(). +Sometimes pci_pm_runtime_idle() is called automatically by the PM core (for +example, it is called right after the device has just been resumed), in which +cases it is expected to suspend the device if that makes sense. Usually, +however, the PCI subsystem doesn't really know if the device really can be +suspended, so it lets the device's driver decide by running its +pm->runtime_idle() callback. + +2.4. System-Wide Power Transitions +---------------------------------- +There are a few different types of system-wide power transitions, described in +Documentation/power/devices.txt. Each of them requires devices to be handled +in a specific way and the PM core executes subsystem-level power management +callbacks for this purpose. They are executed in phases such that each phase +involves executing the same subsystem-level callback for every device belonging +to the given subsystem before the next phase begins. These phases always run +after tasks have been frozen. + +2.4.1. System Suspend + +When the system is going into a sleep state in which the contents of memory will +be preserved, such as one of the ACPI sleep states S1-S3, the phases are: + + prepare, suspend, suspend_noirq. + +The following PCI bus type's callbacks, respectively, are used in these phases: + + pci_pm_prepare() + pci_pm_suspend() + pci_pm_suspend_noirq() + +The pci_pm_prepare() routine first puts the device into the "fully functional" +state with the help of pm_runtime_resume(). Then, it executes the device +driver's pm->prepare() callback if defined (i.e. if the driver's struct +dev_pm_ops object is present and the prepare pointer in that object is valid). + +The pci_pm_suspend() routine first checks if the device's driver implements +legacy PCI suspend routines (see Section 3), in which case the driver's legacy +suspend callback is executed, if present, and its result is returned. Next, if +the device's driver doesn't provide a struct dev_pm_ops object (containing +pointers to the driver's callbacks), pci_pm_default_suspend() is called, which +simply turns off the device's bus master capability and runs +pcibios_disable_device() to disable it, unless the device is a bridge (PCI +bridges are ignored by this routine). Next, the device driver's pm->suspend() +callback is executed, if defined, and its result is returned if it fails. +Finally, pci_fixup_device() is called to apply hardware suspend quirks related +to the device if necessary. + +Note that the suspend phase is carried out asynchronously for PCI devices, so +the pci_pm_suspend() callback may be executed in parallel for any pair of PCI +devices that don't depend on each other in a known way (i.e. none of the paths +in the device tree from the root bridge to a leaf device contains both of them). + +The pci_pm_suspend_noirq() routine is executed after suspend_device_irqs() has +been called, which means that the device driver's interrupt handler won't be +invoked while this routine is running. It first checks if the device's driver +implements legacy PCI suspends routines (Section 3), in which case the legacy +late suspend routine is called and its result is returned (the standard +configuration registers of the device are saved if the driver's callback hasn't +done that). Second, if the device driver's struct dev_pm_ops object is not +present, the device's standard configuration registers are saved and the routine +returns success. Otherwise the device driver's pm->suspend_noirq() callback is +executed, if present, and its result is returned if it fails. Next, if the +device's standard configuration registers haven't been saved yet (one of the +device driver's callbacks executed before might do that), pci_pm_suspend_noirq() +saves them, prepares the device to signal wakeup (if necessary) and puts it into +a low-power state. + +The low-power state to put the device into is the lowest-power (highest number) +state from which it can signal wakeup while the system is in the target sleep +state. Just like in the runtime PM case described above, the mechanism of +signaling wakeup is system-dependent and determined by the PCI subsystem, which +is also responsible for preparing the device to signal wakeup from the system's +target sleep state as appropriate. + +PCI device drivers (that don't implement legacy power management callbacks) are +generally not expected to prepare devices for signaling wakeup or to put them +into low-power states. However, if one of the driver's suspend callbacks +(pm->suspend() or pm->suspend_noirq()) saves the device's standard configuration +registers, pci_pm_suspend_noirq() will assume that the device has been prepared +to signal wakeup and put into a low-power state by the driver (the driver is +then assumed to have used the helper functions provided by the PCI subsystem for +this purpose). PCI device drivers are not encouraged to do that, but in some +rare cases doing that in the driver may be the optimum approach. + +2.4.2. System Resume + +When the system is undergoing a transition from a sleep state in which the +contents of memory have been preserved, such as one of the ACPI sleep states +S1-S3, into the working state (ACPI S0), the phases are: + + resume_noirq, resume, complete. + +The following PCI bus type's callbacks, respectively, are executed in these +phases: + + pci_pm_resume_noirq() + pci_pm_resume() + pci_pm_complete() + +The pci_pm_resume_noirq() routine first puts the device into the full-power +state, restores its standard configuration registers and applies early resume +hardware quirks related to the device, if necessary. This is done +unconditionally, regardless of whether or not the device's driver implements +legacy PCI power management callbacks (this way all PCI devices are in the +full-power state and their standard configuration registers have been restored +when their interrupt handlers are invoked for the first time during resume, +which allows the kernel to avoid problems with the handling of shared interrupts +by drivers whose devices are still suspended). If legacy PCI power management +callbacks (see Section 3) are implemented by the device's driver, the legacy +early resume callback is executed and its result is returned. Otherwise, the +device driver's pm->resume_noirq() callback is executed, if defined, and its +result is returned. + +The pci_pm_resume() routine first checks if the device's standard configuration +registers have been restored and restores them if that's not the case (this +only is necessary in the error path during a failing suspend). Next, resume +hardware quirks related to the device are applied, if necessary, and if the +device's driver implements legacy PCI power management callbacks (see +Section 3), the driver's legacy resume callback is executed and its result is +returned. Otherwise, the device's wakeup signaling mechanisms are blocked and +its driver's pm->resume() callback is executed, if defined (the callback's +result is then returned). + +The resume phase is carried out asynchronously for PCI devices, like the +suspend phase described above, which means that if two PCI devices don't depend +on each other in a known way, the pci_pm_resume() routine may be executed for +the both of them in parallel. + +The pci_pm_complete() routine only executes the device driver's pm->complete() +callback, if defined. + +2.4.3. System Hibernation + +System hibernation is more complicated than system suspend, because it requires +a system image to be created and written into a persistent storage medium. The +image is created atomically and all devices are quiesced, or frozen, before that +happens. + +The freezing of devices is carried out after enough memory has been freed (at +the time of this writing the image creation requires at least 50% of system RAM +to be free) in the following three phases: + + prepare, freeze, freeze_noirq + +that correspond to the PCI bus type's callbacks: + + pci_pm_prepare() + pci_pm_freeze() + pci_pm_freeze_noirq() + +This means that the prepare phase is exactly the same as for system suspend. +The other two phases, however, are different. + +The pci_pm_freeze() routine is quite similar to pci_pm_suspend(), but it runs +the device driver's pm->freeze() callback, if defined, instead of pm->suspend(), +and it doesn't apply the suspend-related hardware quirks. It is executed +asynchronously for different PCI devices that don't depend on each other in a +known way. + +The pci_pm_freeze_noirq() routine, in turn, is similar to +pci_pm_suspend_noirq(), but it calls the device driver's pm->freeze_noirq() +routine instead of pm->suspend_noirq(). It also doesn't attempt to prepare the +device for signaling wakeup and put it into a low-power state. Still, it saves +the device's standard configuration registers if they haven't been saved by one +of the driver's callbacks. + +Once the image has been created, it has to be saved. However, at this point all +devices are frozen and they cannot handle I/O, while their ability to handle +I/O is obviously necessary for the image saving. Thus they have to be brought +back to the fully functional state and this is done in the following phases: + + thaw_noirq, thaw, complete + +using the following PCI bus type's callbacks: + + pci_pm_thaw_noirq() + pci_pm_thaw() + pci_pm_complete() + +respectively. + +The first of them, pci_pm_thaw_noirq(), is analogous to pci_pm_resume_noirq(), +but it doesn't put the device into the full power state and doesn't attempt to +restore its standard configuration registers. It also executes the device +driver's pm->thaw_noirq() callback, if defined, instead of pm->resume_noirq(). + +The pci_pm_thaw() routine is similar to pci_pm_resume(), but it runs the device +driver's pm->thaw() callback instead of pm->resume(). It is executed +asynchronously for different PCI devices that don't depend on each other in a +known way. + +The complete phase it the same as for system resume. + +After saving the image, devices need to be powered down before the system can +enter the target sleep state (ACPI S4 for ACPI-based systems). This is done in +three phases: + + prepare, poweroff, poweroff_noirq + +where the prepare phase is exactly the same as for system suspend. The other +two phases are analogous to the suspend and suspend_noirq phases, respectively. +The PCI subsystem-level callbacks they correspond to + + pci_pm_poweroff() + pci_pm_poweroff_noirq() + +work in analogy with pci_pm_suspend() and pci_pm_poweroff_noirq(), respectively, +although they don't attempt to save the device's standard configuration +registers. + +2.4.4. System Restore + +System restore requires a hibernation image to be loaded into memory and the +pre-hibernation memory contents to be restored before the pre-hibernation system +activity can be resumed. + +As described in Documentation/power/devices.txt, the hibernation image is loaded +into memory by a fresh instance of the kernel, called the boot kernel, which in +turn is loaded and run by a boot loader in the usual way. After the boot kernel +has loaded the image, it needs to replace its own code and data with the code +and data of the "hibernated" kernel stored within the image, called the image +kernel. For this purpose all devices are frozen just like before creating +the image during hibernation, in the + + prepare, freeze, freeze_noirq + +phases described above. 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 (that will only affect the devices having +drivers in the boot kernel), and then continue running normally. + +If the pre-hibernation memory contents are restored successfully, which is the +usual situation, control is passed to the image kernel, which then becomes +responsible for bringing the system back to the working state. To achieve this, +it must restore the devices' pre-hibernation functionality, which is done much +like waking up from the memory sleep state, although it involves different +phases: + + restore_noirq, restore, complete + +The first two of these are analogous to the resume_noirq and resume phases +described above, respectively, and correspond to the following PCI subsystem +callbacks: + + pci_pm_restore_noirq() + pci_pm_restore() + +These callbacks work in analogy with pci_pm_resume_noirq() and pci_pm_resume(), +respectively, but they execute the device driver's pm->restore_noirq() and +pm->restore() callbacks, if available. + +The complete phase is carried out in exactly the same way as during system +resume. + + +3. PCI Device Drivers and Power Management +========================================== + +3.1. Power Management Callbacks +------------------------------- +PCI device drivers participate in power management by providing callbacks to be +executed by the PCI subsystem's power management routines described above and by +controlling the runtime power management of their devices. + +At the time of this writing there are two ways to define power management +callbacks for a PCI device driver, the recommended one, based on using a +dev_pm_ops structure described in Documentation/power/devices.txt, and the +"legacy" one, in which the .suspend(), .suspend_late(), .resume_early(), and +.resume() callbacks from struct pci_driver are used. The legacy approach, +however, doesn't allow one to define runtime power management callbacks and is +not really suitable for any new drivers. Therefore it is not covered by this +document (refer to the source code to learn more about it). + +It is recommended that all PCI device drivers define a struct dev_pm_ops object +containing pointers to power management (PM) callbacks that will be executed by +the PCI subsystem's PM routines in various circumstances. A pointer to the +driver's struct dev_pm_ops object has to be assigned to the driver.pm field in +its struct pci_driver object. Once that has happened, the "legacy" PM callbacks +in struct pci_driver are ignored (even if they are not NULL). + +The PM callbacks in struct dev_pm_ops are not mandatory and if they are not +defined (i.e. the respective fields of struct dev_pm_ops are unset) the PCI +subsystem will handle the device in a simplified default manner. If they are +defined, though, they are expected to behave as described in the following +subsections. + +3.1.1. prepare() + +The prepare() callback is executed during system suspend, during hibernation +(when a hibernation image is about to be created), during power-off after +saving a hibernation image and during system restore, when a hibernation image +has just been loaded into memory. + +This callback is only necessary if the driver's device has children that in +general may be registered at any time. In that case the role of the prepare() +callback is to prevent new children of the device from being registered until +one of the resume_noirq(), thaw_noirq(), or restore_noirq() callbacks is run. + +In addition to that the prepare() callback may carry out some operations +preparing the device to be suspended, although it should not allocate memory +(if additional memory is required to suspend the device, it has to be +preallocated earlier, for example in a suspend/hibernate notifier as described +in Documentation/power/notifiers.txt). + +3.1.2. suspend() + +The suspend() callback is only executed during system suspend, after prepare() +callbacks have been executed for all devices in the system. + +This callback is expected to quiesce the device and prepare it to be put into a +low-power state by the PCI subsystem. It is not required (in fact it even is +not recommended) that a PCI driver's suspend() callback save the standard +configuration registers of the device, prepare it for waking up the system, or +put it into a low-power state. All of these operations can very well be taken +care of by the PCI subsystem, without the driver's participation. + +However, in some rare case it is convenient to carry out these operations in +a PCI driver. Then, pci_save_state(), pci_prepare_to_sleep(), and +pci_set_power_state() should be used to save the device's standard configuration +registers, to prepare it for system wakeup (if necessary), and to put it into a +low-power state, respectively. Moreover, if the driver calls pci_save_state(), +the PCI subsystem will not execute either pci_prepare_to_sleep(), or +pci_set_power_state() for its device, so the driver is then responsible for +handling the device as appropriate. + +While the suspend() callback is being executed, the driver's interrupt handler +can be invoked to handle an interrupt from the device, so all suspend-related +operations relying on the driver's ability to handle interrupts should be +carried out in this callback. + +3.1.3. suspend_noirq() + +The suspend_noirq() callback is only executed during system suspend, after +suspend() callbacks have been executed for all devices in the system and +after device interrupts have been disabled by the PM core. + +The difference between suspend_noirq() and suspend() is that the driver's +interrupt handler will not be invoked while suspend_noirq() is running. Thus +suspend_noirq() can carry out operations that would cause race conditions to +arise if they were performed in suspend(). + +3.1.4. freeze() + +The freeze() callback is hibernation-specific and is executed in two situations, +during hibernation, after prepare() callbacks have been executed for all devices +in preparation for the creation of a system image, and during restore, +after a system image has been loaded into memory from persistent storage and the +prepare() callbacks have been executed for all devices. + +The role of this callback is analogous to the role of the suspend() callback +described above. In fact, they only need to be different in the rare cases when +the driver takes the responsibility for putting the device into a low-power state. -The first walk allows a graceful recovery in the event of a failure, since none -of the devices have actually been powered down. - -In both walks, in particular the second, all children of a bridge are touched -before the actual bridge itself. This allows the bridge to retain power while -its children are being accessed. - -Upon resuming from sleep, just the opposite must be true: all bridges must be -powered on and restored before their children are powered on. This is easily -accomplished with a breadth-first walk of the PCI device tree. - - -3. PCI Utility Functions -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -These are helper functions designed to be called by individual device drivers. -Assuming that a device behaves as advertised, these should be applicable in most -cases. However, results may vary. - -Note that these functions are never implicitly called for the driver. The driver -is always responsible for deciding when and if to call these. - - -pci_save_state --------------- - -Usage: - pci_save_state(struct pci_dev *dev); - -Description: - Save first 64 bytes of PCI config space, along with any additional - PCI-Express or PCI-X information. - - -pci_restore_state ------------------ - -Usage: - pci_restore_state(struct pci_dev *dev); - -Description: - Restore previously saved config space. - - -pci_set_power_state -------------------- - -Usage: - pci_set_power_state(struct pci_dev *dev, pci_power_t state); - -Description: - Transition device to low power state using PCI PM Capabilities - registers. - - Will fail under one of the following conditions: - - If state is less than current state, but not D0 (illegal transition) - - Device doesn't support PM Capabilities - - Device does not support requested state - - -pci_enable_wake ---------------- - -Usage: - pci_enable_wake(struct pci_dev *dev, pci_power_t state, int enable); - -Description: - Enable device to generate PME# during low power state using PCI PM - Capabilities. - - Checks whether if device supports generating PME# from requested state - and fail if it does not, unless enable == 0 (request is to disable wake - events, which is implicit if it doesn't even support it in the first - place). - - Note that the PMC Register in the device's PM Capabilities has a bitmask - of the states it supports generating PME# from. D3hot is bit 3 and - D3cold is bit 4. So, while a value of 4 as the state may not seem - semantically correct, it is. - - -4. PCI Device Drivers -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -These functions are intended for use by individual drivers, and are defined in -struct pci_driver: - - int (*suspend) (struct pci_dev *dev, pm_message_t state); - int (*resume) (struct pci_dev *dev); - - -suspend -------- - -Usage: - -if (dev->driver && dev->driver->suspend) - dev->driver->suspend(dev,state); - -A driver uses this function to actually transition the device into a low power -state. This should include disabling I/O, IRQs, and bus-mastering, as well as -physically transitioning the device to a lower power state; it may also include -calls to pci_enable_wake(). - -Bus mastering may be disabled by doing: - -pci_disable_device(dev); - -For devices that support the PCI PM Spec, this may be used to set the device's -power state to match the suspend() parameter: - -pci_set_power_state(dev,state); - -The driver is also responsible for disabling any other device-specific features -(e.g blanking screen, turning off on-card memory, etc). - -The driver should be sure to track the current state of the device, as it may -obviate the need for some operations. - -The driver should update the current_state field in its pci_dev structure in -this function, except for PM-capable devices when pci_set_power_state is used. - -resume ------- - -Usage: - -if (dev->driver && dev->driver->resume) - dev->driver->resume(dev) +In that cases the freeze() callback should not prepare the device system wakeup +or put it into a low-power state. Still, either it or freeze_noirq() should +save the device's standard configuration registers using pci_save_state(). -The resume callback may be called from any power state, and is always meant to -transition the device to the D0 state. +3.1.5. freeze_noirq() -The driver is responsible for reenabling any features of the device that had -been disabled during previous suspend calls, such as IRQs and bus mastering, -as well as calling pci_restore_state(). +The freeze_noirq() callback is hibernation-specific. It is executed during +hibernation, after prepare() and freeze() callbacks have been executed for all +devices in preparation for the creation of a system image, and during restore, +after a system image has been loaded into memory and after prepare() and +freeze() callbacks have been executed for all devices. It is always executed +after device interrupts have been disabled by the PM core. -If the device is currently in D3, it may need to be reinitialized in resume(). +The role of this callback is analogous to the role of the suspend_noirq() +callback described above and it very rarely is necessary to define +freeze_noirq(). - * Some types of devices, like bus controllers, will preserve context in D3hot - (using Vcc power). Their drivers will often want to avoid re-initializing - them after re-entering D0 (perhaps to avoid resetting downstream devices). +The difference between freeze_noirq() and freeze() is analogous to the +difference between suspend_noirq() and suspend(). - * Other kinds of devices in D3hot will discard device context as part of a - soft reset when re-entering the D0 state. - - * Devices resuming from D3cold always go through a power-on reset. Some - device context can also be preserved using Vaux power. +3.1.6. poweroff() - * Some systems hide D3cold resume paths from drivers. For example, on PCs - the resume path for suspend-to-disk often runs BIOS powerup code, which - will sometimes re-initialize the device. +The poweroff() callback is hibernation-specific. It is executed when the system +is about to be powered off after saving a hibernation image to a persistent +storage. prepare() callbacks are executed for all devices before poweroff() is +called. -To handle resets during D3 to D0 transitions, it may be convenient to share -device initialization code between probe() and resume(). Device parameters -can also be saved before the driver suspends into D3, avoiding re-probe. +The role of this callback is analogous to the role of the suspend() and freeze() +callbacks described above, although it does not need to save the contents of +the device's registers. In particular, if the driver wants to put the device +into a low-power state itself instead of allowing the PCI subsystem to do that, +the poweroff() callback should use pci_prepare_to_sleep() and +pci_set_power_state() to prepare the device for system wakeup and to put it +into a low-power state, respectively, but it need not save the device's standard +configuration registers. -If the device supports the PCI PM Spec, it can use this to physically transition -the device to D0: +3.1.7. poweroff_noirq() -pci_set_power_state(dev,0); +The poweroff_noirq() callback is hibernation-specific. It is executed after +poweroff() callbacks have been executed for all devices in the system. -Note that if the entire system is transitioning out of a global sleep state, all -devices will be placed in the D0 state, so this is not necessary. However, in -the event that the device is placed in the D3 state during normal operation, -this call is necessary. It is impossible to determine which of the two events is -taking place in the driver, so it is always a good idea to make that call. +The role of this callback is analogous to the role of the suspend_noirq() and +freeze_noirq() callbacks described above, but it does not need to save the +contents of the device's registers. -The driver should take note of the state that it is resuming from in order to -ensure correct (and speedy) operation. +The difference between poweroff_noirq() and poweroff() is analogous to the +difference between suspend_noirq() and suspend(). -The driver should update the current_state field in its pci_dev structure in -this function, except for PM-capable devices when pci_set_power_state is used. +3.1.8. resume_noirq() +The resume_noirq() callback is only executed during system resume, after the +PM core has enabled the non-boot CPUs. The driver's interrupt handler will not +be invoked while resume_noirq() is running, so this callback can carry out +operations that might race with the interrupt handler. +Since the PCI subsystem unconditionally puts all devices into the full power +state in the resume_noirq phase of system resume and restores their standard +configuration registers, resume_noirq() is usually not necessary. In general +it should only be used for performing operations that would lead to race +conditions if carried out by resume(). -A reference implementation -------------------------- -.suspend() -{ - /* driver specific operations */ +3.1.9. resume() - /* Disable IRQ */ - free_irq(); - /* If using MSI */ - pci_disable_msi(); +The resume() callback is only executed during system resume, after +resume_noirq() callbacks have been executed for all devices in the system and +device interrupts have been enabled by the PM core. - pci_save_state(); - pci_enable_wake(); - /* Disable IO/bus master/irq router */ - pci_disable_device(); - pci_set_power_state(pci_choose_state()); -} +This callback is responsible for restoring the pre-suspend configuration of the +device and bringing it back to the fully functional state.

It is executed after a +system image has been created and the non-boot CPUs have been enabled by the PM +core, in the thaw_noirq phase of hibernation. It also may be executed if the +loading of a hibernation image fails during system restore (it is then executed +after enabling the non-boot CPUs). The driver's interrupt handler will not be +invoked while thaw_noirq() is running. - request_irq(); - /* driver specific operations; */ -} +The role of this callback is analogous to the role of resume_noirq(). The +difference between these two callbacks is that thaw_noirq() is executed after +freeze() and freeze_noirq(), so in general it does not need to modify the +contents of the device's registers. -This is a typical implementation. Drivers can slightly change the order -of the operations in the implementation, ignore some operations or add -more driver specific operations in it, but drivers should do something like -this on the whole. +3.1.11. thaw() -5.

It is executed in the +restore_noirq phase of hibernation, when the boot kernel has passed control to +the image kernel and the non-boot CPUs have been enabled by the image kernel's +PM core. + +This callback is analogous to resume_noirq() with the exception that it cannot +make any assumption on the previous state of the device, even if the BIOS (or +generally the platform firmware) is known to preserve that state over a +suspend-resume cycle. + +For the vast majority of PCI device drivers there is no difference between +resume_noirq() and restore_noirq(). + +3.1.13. restore() + +The restore() callback is hibernation-specific. It is executed after +restore_noirq() callbacks have been executed for all devices in the system and +after the PM core has enabled device drivers' interrupt handlers to be invoked. + +This callback is analogous to resume(), just like restore_noirq() is analogous +to resume_noirq(). Consequently, the difference between restore_noirq() and +restore() is analogous to the difference between resume_noirq() and resume(). + +For the vast majority of PCI device drivers there is no difference between +resume() and restore(). + +3.1.14. complete() + +The complete() callback is executed in the following situations: + - during system resume, after resume() callbacks have been executed for all + devices, + - during hibernation, before saving the system image, after thaw() callbacks + have been executed for all devices, + - during system restore, when the system is going back to its pre-hibernation + state, after restore() callbacks have been executed for all devices. +It also may be executed if the loading of a hibernation image into memory fails +(in that case it is run after thaw() callbacks have been executed for all +devices that have drivers in the boot kernel). + +This callback is entirely optional, although it may be necessary if the +prepare() callback performs operations that need to be reversed. + +3.1.15. runtime_suspend() + +The runtime_suspend() callback is specific to device runtime power management +(runtime PM). It is executed by the PM core's runtime PM framework when the +device is about to be suspended (i.e. quiesced and put into a low-power state) +at run time. + +This callback is responsible for freezing the device and preparing it to be +put into a low-power state, but it must allow the PCI subsystem to perform all +of the PCI-specific actions necessary for suspending the device. + +3.1.16. runtime_resume() + +The runtime_resume() callback is specific to device runtime PM. It is executed +by the PM core's runtime PM framework when the device is about to be resumed +(i.e. put into the full-power state and programmed to process I/O normally) at +run time. + +This callback is responsible for restoring the normal functionality of the +device after it has been put into the full-power state by the PCI subsystem. +The device is expected to be able to process I/O in the usual way after +runtime_resume() has returned. + +3.1.17. runtime_idle() + +The runtime_idle() callback is specific to device runtime PM. It is executed +by the PM core's runtime PM framework whenever it may be desirable to suspend +the device according to the PM core's information. In particular, it is +automatically executed right after runtime_resume() has returned in case the +resume of the device has happened as a result of a spurious event. + +This callback is optional, but if it is not implemented or if it returns 0, the +PCI subsystem will call pm_runtime_suspend() for the device, which in turn will +cause the driver's runtime_suspend() callback to be executed. + +3.1.18. Pointing Multiple Callback Pointers to One Routine + +Although in principle each of the callbacks described in the previous +subsections can be defined as a separate function, it often is convenient to +point two or more members of struct dev_pm_ops to the same routine. There are +a few convenience macros that can be used for this purpose. + +The SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS macro declares a struct dev_pm_ops object with one +suspend routine pointed to by the .suspend(), .freeze(), and .poweroff() +members and one resume routine pointed to by the .resume(), .thaw(), and +.restore() members. The other function pointers in this struct dev_pm_ops are +unset. + +The UNIVERSAL_DEV_PM_OPS macro is similar to SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS, but it +additionally sets the .runtime_resume() pointer to the same value as +.resume() (and .thaw(), and .restore()) and the .runtime_suspend() pointer to +the same value as .suspend() (and .freeze() and .poweroff()). + +The SET_SYSTEM_SLEEP_PM_OPS can be used inside of a declaration of struct +dev_pm_ops to indicate that one suspend routine is to be pointed to by the +.suspend(), .freeze(), and .poweroff() members and one resume routine is to +be pointed to by the .resume(), .thaw(), and .restore() members. + +3.2. Device Runtime Power Management +------------------------------------ +In addition to providing device power management callbacks PCI device drivers +are responsible for controlling the runtime power management (runtime PM) of +their devices. + +The PCI device runtime PM is optional, but it is recommended that PCI device +drivers implement it at least in the cases where there is a reliable way of +verifying that the device is not used (like when the network cable is detached +from an Ethernet adapter or there are no devices attached to a USB controller). + +To support the PCI runtime PM the driver first needs to implement the +runtime_suspend() and runtime_resume() callbacks. It also may need to implement +the runtime_idle() callback to prevent the device from being suspended again +every time right after the runtime_resume() callback has returned +(alternatively, the runtime_suspend() callback will have to check if the +device should really be suspended and return -EAGAIN if that is not the case). + +The runtime PM of PCI devices is disabled by default. It is also blocked by +pci_pm_init() that runs the pm_runtime_forbid() helper function. If a PCI +driver implements the runtime PM callbacks and intends to use the runtime PM +framework provided by the PM core and the PCI subsystem, it should enable this +feature by executing the pm_runtime_enable() helper function. However, the +driver should not call the pm_runtime_allow() helper function unblocking +the runtime PM of the device. Instead, it should allow user space or some +platform-specific code to do that (user space can do it via sysfs), although +once it has called pm_runtime_enable(), it must be prepared to handle the +runtime PM of the device correctly as soon as pm_runtime_allow() is called +(which may happen at any time). [It also is possible that user space causes +pm_runtime_allow() to be called via sysfs before the driver is loaded, so in +fact the driver has to be prepared to handle the runtime PM of the device as +soon as it calls pm_runtime_enable().] + +The runtime PM framework works by processing requests to suspend or resume +devices, or to check if they are idle (in which cases it is reasonable to +subsequently request that they be suspended). These requests are represented +by work items put into the power management workqueue, pm_wq. Although there +are a few situations in which power management requests are automatically +queued by the PM core (for example, after processing a request to resume a +device the PM core automatically queues a request to check if the device is +idle), device drivers are generally responsible for queuing power management +requests for their devices. For this purpose they should use the runtime PM +helper functions provided by the PM core, discussed in +Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt. + +Devices can also be suspended and resumed synchronously, without placing a +request into pm_wq. In the majority of cases this also is done by their +drivers that use helper functions provided by the PM core for this purpose. + +For more information on the runtime PM of devices refer to +Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt. + + +4.

All this code is bracketed by CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM. - -The initial port includes NUMAizing the bootmem allocator code by -encapsulating all the pieces of information into a bootmem_data_t -structure. Node specific calls have been added to the allocator. -In theory, any platform which uses the bootmem allocator should -be able to put the bootmem and mem_map data structures anywhere -it deems best. - -Each node's page allocation data structures have also been encapsulated -into a pg_data_t. The bootmem_data_t is just one part of this. To -make the code look uniform between NUMA and regular UMA platforms, -UMA platforms have a statically allocated pg_data_t too (contig_page_data). -For the sake of uniformity, the function num_online_nodes() is also defined -for all platforms. As we run benchmarks, we might decide to NUMAize -more variables like low_on_memory, nr_free_pages etc into the pg_data_t. - -The NUMA aware page allocation code currently tries to allocate pages -from different nodes in a round robin manner. This will be changed to -do concentratic circle search, starting from current node, once the -NUMA port achieves more maturity. The call alloc_pages_node has been -added, so that drivers can make the call and not worry about whether -it is running on a NUMA or UMA platform. +What is NUMA? + +This question can be answered from a couple of perspectives: the +hardware view and the Linux software view. + +From the hardware perspective, a NUMA system is a computer platform that +comprises multiple components or assemblies each of which may contain 0 +or more CPUs, local memory, and/or IO buses. For brevity and to +disambiguate the hardware view of these physical components/assemblies +from the software abstraction thereof, we'll call the components/assemblies +'cells' in this document. + +Each of the 'cells' may be viewed as an SMP [symmetric multi-processor] subset +of the system--although some components necessary for a stand-alone SMP system +may not be populated on any given cell. The cells of the NUMA system are +connected together with some sort of system interconnect--e.g., a crossbar or +point-to-point link are common types of NUMA system interconnects. Both of +these types of interconnects can be aggregated to create NUMA platforms with +cells at multiple distances from other cells. + +For Linux, the NUMA platforms of interest are primarily what is known as Cache +Coherent NUMA or ccNUMA systems. With ccNUMA systems, all memory is visible +to and accessible from any CPU attached to any cell and cache coherency +is handled in hardware by the processor caches and/or the system interconnect. + +Memory access time and effective memory bandwidth varies depending on how far +away the cell containing the CPU or IO bus making the memory access is from the +cell containing the target memory. For example, access to memory by CPUs +attached to the same cell will experience faster access times and higher +bandwidths than accesses to memory on other, remote cells. NUMA platforms +can have cells at multiple remote distances from any given cell. + +Platform vendors don't build NUMA systems just to make software developers' +lives interesting. Rather, this architecture is a means to provide scalable +memory bandwidth. However, to achieve scalable memory bandwidth, system and +application software must arrange for a large majority of the memory references +[cache misses] to be to "local" memory--memory on the same cell, if any--or +to the closest cell with memory. + +This leads to the Linux software view of a NUMA system: + +Linux divides the system's hardware resources into multiple software +abstractions called "nodes". Linux maps the nodes onto the physical cells +of the hardware platform, abstracting away some of the details for some +architectures. As with physical cells, software nodes may contain 0 or more +CPUs, memory and/or IO buses. And, again, memory accesses to memory on +"closer" nodes--nodes that map to closer cells--will generally experience +faster access times and higher effective bandwidth than accesses to more +remote cells. + +For some architectures, such as x86, Linux will "hide" any node representing a +physical cell that has no memory attached, and reassign any CPUs attached to +that cell to a node representing a cell that does have memory. Thus, on +these architectures, one cannot assume that all CPUs that Linux associates with +a given node will see the same local memory access times and bandwidth. + +In addition, for some architectures, again x86 is an example, Linux supports +the emulation of additional nodes. For NUMA emulation, linux will carve up +the existing nodes--or the system memory for non-NUMA platforms--into multiple +nodes. Each emulated node will manage a fraction of the underlying cells' +physical memory. NUMA emluation is useful for testing NUMA kernel and +application features on non-NUMA platforms, and as a sort of memory resource +management mechanism when used together with cpusets. +[see Documentation/cgroups/cpusets.txt] + +For each node with memory, Linux constructs an independent memory management +subsystem, complete with its own free page lists, in-use page lists, usage +statistics and locks to mediate access. In addition, Linux constructs for +each memory zone [one or more of DMA, DMA32, NORMAL, HIGH_MEMORY, MOVABLE], +an ordered "zonelist". A zonelist specifies the zones/nodes to visit when a +selected zone/node cannot satisfy the allocation request. This situation, +when a zone has no available memory to satisfy a request, is called +"overflow" or "fallback". + +Because some nodes contain multiple zones containing different types of +memory, Linux must decide whether to order the zonelists such that allocations +fall back to the same zone type on a different node, or to a different zone +type on the same node. This is an important consideration because some zones, +such as DMA or DMA32, represent relatively scarce resources. Linux chooses +a default zonelist order based on the sizes of the various zone types relative +to the total memory of the node and the total memory of the system. The +default zonelist order may be overridden using the numa_zonelist_order kernel +boot parameter or sysctl. [see Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt and +Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt] + +By default, Linux will attempt to satisfy memory allocation requests from the +node to which the CPU that executes the request is assigned. Specifically, +Linux will attempt to allocate from the first node in the appropriate zonelist +for the node where the request originates. This is called "local allocation." +If the "local" node cannot satisfy the request, the kernel will examine other +nodes' zones in the selected zonelist looking for the first zone in the list +that can satisfy the request. + +Local allocation will tend to keep subsequent access to the allocated memory +"local" to the underlying physical resources and off the system interconnect-- +as long as the task on whose behalf the kernel allocated some memory does not +later migrate away from that memory. The Linux scheduler is aware of the +NUMA topology of the platform--embodied in the "scheduling domains" data +structures [see Documentation/scheduler/sched-domains.txt]--and the scheduler +attempts to minimize task migration to distant scheduling domains. However, +the scheduler does not take a task's NUMA footprint into account directly. +Thus, under sufficient imbalance, tasks can migrate between nodes, remote +from their initial node and kernel data structures. + +System administrators and application designers can restrict a task's migration +to improve NUMA locality using various CPU affinity command line interfaces, +such as taskset(1) and numactl(1), and program interfaces such as +sched_setaffinity(2). Further, one can modify the kernel's default local +allocation behavior using Linux NUMA memory policy. +[see Documentation/vm/numa_memory_policy.] + +System administrators can restrict the CPUs and nodes' memories that a non- +privileged user can specify in the scheduling or NUMA commands and functions +using control groups and CPUsets. [see Documentation/cgroups/CPUsets.txt] + +On architectures that do not hide memoryless nodes, Linux will include only +zones [nodes] with memory in the zonelists. This means that for a memoryless +node the "local memory node"--the node of the first zone in CPU's node's +zonelist--will not be the node itself. Rather, it will be the node that the +kernel selected as the nearest node with memory when it built the zonelists. +So, default, local allocations will succeed with the kernel supplying the +closest available memory. This is a consequence of the same mechanism that +allows such allocations to fallback to other nearby nodes when a node that +does contain memory overflows. + +Some kernel allocations do not want or cannot tolerate this allocation fallback +behavior. Rather they want to be sure they get memory from the specified node +or get notified that the node has no free memory. This is usually the case when +a subsystem allocates per CPU memory resources, for example. + +A typical model for making such an allocation is to obtain the node id of the +node to which the "current CPU" is attached using one of the kernel's +numa_node_id() or CPU_to_node() functions and then request memory from only +the node id returned. When such an allocation fails, the requesting subsystem +may revert to its own fallback path. The slab kernel memory allocator is an +example of this. Or, the subsystem may choose to disable or not to enable +itself on allocation failure. The kernel profiling subsystem is an example of +this. + +If the architecture supports--does not hide--memoryless nodes, then CPUs +attached to memoryless nodes would always incur the fallback path overhead +or some subsystems would fail to initialize if they attempted to allocated +memory exclusively from a node without memory. To support such +architectures transparently, kernel subsystems can use the numa_mem_id() +or cpu_to_mem() function to locate the "local memory node" for the calling or +specified CPU. Again, this is the same node from which default, local page +allocations will be attempted. diff --git a/Documentation/vm/numa_memory_policy.txt b/Documentation/vm/numa_memory_policy.txt index be45dbb9d7f..6690fc34ef6 100644 --- a/Documentation/vm/numa_memory_policy.txt +++ b/Documentation/vm/numa_memory_policy.txt @@ -45,7 +45,7 @@ most general to most specific: to establish the task policy for a child task exec()'d from an executable image that has no awareness of memory policy.
