| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a new sysfs file called 'charge_type' which displays the type of charging (unknown, n/a, trickle charge, or fast charging). This allows things like battery diagnostics to determine what the battery/EC is doing without resorting to changing the 'status' sysfs output.

* regulator: core - Rework machine API to remove string based functions.Liam Girdwood2008-10-132-78/+70
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This improves the machine level API in order to configure regulator constraints and consumers as platform data and removes the old string based API that required several calls to set up each regulator. The intention is to create a struct regulator_init_data, populate it's fields with constraints, consumers devices, etc and then register the regulator device from board.c in the standard Linux way. e.g. regulator LDO2 (supplying codec and sim) platform data. /* regulator LDO2 consumer devices */ static struct regulator_consumer_supply ldo2_consumers[] = { { .dev = &platform_audio_device.dev, .supply = "codec_avdd", }, { .dev = &platform_sim_device.dev, .supply = "sim_vcc", } }; /* regulator LDO2 constraints */ static struct regulator_init_data ldo2_data = { .constraints = { .min_uV = 3300000, .max_uV = 3300000, .valid_modes_mask = REGULATOR_MODE_NORMAL, .apply_uV = 1, }, .num_consumer_supplies = ARRAY_SIZE(ldo2_consumers), .consumer_supplies = ldo2_consumers, }; /* machine regulator devices with thier consumers and constraints */ static struct platform_device wm8350_regulator_devices[] = { { .name = "wm8350-regulator", .id = WM8350_LDO_2, .dev = { .platform_data = &ldo2_data, }, }, }; Changes in detail:- o Removed all const char* regulator config functions in machine API. o Created new struct regulator_init_data to contain regulator machine configuration constraints and consmuers. o Changed set_supply(), set_machine_constraints(), set_consumer_device_supply() to remove their string identifier parameters. Also made them static and moved functions nearer top of core.c. o Removed no longer used inline func to_rdev() o Added regulator_get_init_drvdata() to retrieve init data. o Added struct device* as parameter to regulator_register(). o Changed my email address.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds PROP_CHARGE_COUNTER to the power supply class (documenting it as well). The OLPC battery driver uses this for spitting out its ACR values (in uAh). We have some rounding errors (the data sheet claims 416.7, the math actually works out to 416.666667, so we're forced to choose between overflows or precision loss. I chose precision loss, and stuck w/ data sheet values), but I don't think anyone will care that much.

* PM: Handle device registrations during suspend/resumeRafael J. Wysocki2008-04-191-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Modify the PM core to protect its data structures, specifically the dpm_active list, from being corrupted if a child of the currently suspending device is registered concurrently with its ->suspend() callback. In that case, since the new device (the child) is added to dpm_active after its parent, the PM core will attempt to suspend it after the parent, which is wrong. Introduce a new member of struct dev_pm_info, called 'sleeping', and use it to check if the parent of the device being added to dpm_active has been suspended, in which case the device registration fails. Also, use 'sleeping' for checking if the ordering of devices on dpm_active is correct. Introduce variable 'all_sleeping' that will be set to 'true' once all devices have been suspended and make new device registrations fail until 'all_sleeping' is reset to 'false', in order to avoid having unsuspended devices around while the system is going into a sleep state. Remove pm_sleep_rwsem which is not necessary any more. Special thanks to Alan Stern for discussions and suggestions that lead to the creation of this patch. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* PM: Introduce PM_EVENT_HIBERNATE callback stateRafael J. Wysocki2008-02-231-5/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During the last step of hibernation in the "platform" mode (with the help of ACPI) we use the suspend code, including the devices' ->suspend() methods, to prepare the system for entering the ACPI S4 system sleep state. But at least for some devices the operations performed by the ->suspend() callback in that case must be different from its operations during regular suspend. For this reason, introduce the new PM event type PM_EVENT_HIBERNATE and pass it to the device drivers' ->suspend() methods during the last phase of hibernation, so that they can distinguish this case and handle it as appropriate. Modify the drivers that handle PM_EVENT_SUSPEND in a special way and need to handle PM_EVENT_HIBERNATE in the same way. These changes are necessary to fix a hibernation regression related to the i915 driver (ref. http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/22/488). Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* serial: turn serial console suspend a boot rather than compile time optionAndres Salomon2007-10-181-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, there's a CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND that allows one to stop the serial console from being suspended when the rest of the machine goes to sleep. This is incredibly useful for debugging power management-related things; however, having it as a compile-time option has proved to be incredibly inconvenient for us (OLPC). There are plenty of times that we want serial console to not suspend, but for the most part we'd like serial console to be suspended. This drops CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND, and replaces it with a kernel boot parameter (no_console_suspend). By default, the serial console will be suspended along with the rest of the system; by passing 'no_console_suspend' to the kernel during boot, serial console will remain alive during suspend. For now, this is pretty serial console specific; further fixes could be applied to make this work for things like netconsole. Signed-off-by: Andres Salomon <dilinger@debian.org> Acked-by: "Rafael J.

* freezer: do not send signals to kernel threadsRafael J. Wysocki2007-10-181-12/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The freezer should not send signals to kernel threads, since that may lead to subtle problems. In particular, commit b74d0deb968e1f85942f17080eace015ce3c332c has changed recalc_sigpending_tsk() so that it doesn't clear TIF_SIGPENDING. For this reason, if the freezer continues to send fake signals to kernel threads and the freezing of kernel threads fails, some of them may be running with TIF_SIGPENDING set forever. Accordingly, recalc_sigpending_tsk() shouldn't set the task's TIF_SIGPENDING flag if TIF_FREEZE is set. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The name of 'struct pm_ops' suggests that it is related to the power management in general, but in fact it is only related to suspend.  Moreover, its name should indicate what this structure is used for, so it seems reasonable to change it to 'struct platform_suspend_ops'.  In that case, the name of the global variable of this type used by the PM core and the names of related functions should be changed accordingly.

* PM: introduce hibernation and suspend notifiersRafael J. Wysocki2007-07-191-0/+50
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make it possible to register hibernation and suspend notifiers, so that subsystems can perform hibernation-related or suspend-related operations that should not be carried out by device drivers' .suspend() and .resume() routines.

* Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by defaultRafael J. Wysocki2007-07-173-54/+164
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't care for the freezing of tasks at all. It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is done in this patch. The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable() function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional) change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to describe the freezing of tasks more accurately. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fixes] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* USB: add USB-Persist facilityAlan Stern2007-07-121-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch (as886) adds the controversial USB-persist facility, allowing USB devices to persist across a power loss during system suspend. The facility is controlled by a new Kconfig option (with appropriate warnings about the potential dangers); when the option is off the behavior will remain the same as it is now. But when the option is on, people will be able to use suspend-to-disk and keep their USB filesystems intact -- something particularly valuable for small machines where the root filesystem is on a USB device!

* PCI: remove useless pci driver methodDavid Brownell2007-07-111-37/+0
| | | | | | | | | | Remove pointless and never-called enable_wake() hook from pci_driver and from documentation. Evidently this was introduced in the 2.4.6 kernel, but there's no evidence it was ever called; and it was rarely implemented.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [ With Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> ] Separate the hibernation (aka suspend to disk code) from the other suspend code. In particular: * Remove the definitions related to hibernation from include/linux/pm.h * Introduce struct hibernation_ops and a new hibernate() function to hibernate the system, defined in include/linux/suspend.h * Separate suspend code in kernel/power/main.c from hibernation-related code in kernel/power/disk.c and kernel/power/user.c (with the help of hibernation_ops) * Switch ACPI (the only user of pm_ops.pm_disk_mode) to hibernation_ops Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
