| config PM |
| bool "Power Management support" |
| ---help--- |
| "Power Management" means that parts of your computer are shut |
| off or put into a power conserving "sleep" mode if they are not |
| being used. There are two competing standards for doing this: APM |
| and ACPI. If you want to use either one, say Y here and then also |
| to the requisite support below. |
| |
| Power Management is most important for battery powered laptop |
| computers; if you have a laptop, check out the Linux Laptop home |
| page on the WWW at <http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/> or |
| Tuxmobil - Linux on Mobile Computers at <http://www.tuxmobil.org/> |
| and the Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from |
| <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. |
| |
| Note that, even if you say N here, Linux on the x86 architecture |
| will issue the hlt instruction if nothing is to be done, thereby |
| sending the processor to sleep and saving power. |
| |
| config PM_DEBUG |
| bool "Power Management Debug Support" |
| depends on PM |
| ---help--- |
| This option enables verbose debugging support in the Power Management |
| code. This is helpful when debugging and reporting various PM bugs, |
| like suspend support. |
| |
| config SOFTWARE_SUSPEND |
| bool "Software Suspend" |
| depends on PM && SWAP && (X86 || ((FVR || PPC32) && !SMP)) |
| ---help--- |
| Enable the possibility of suspending the machine. |
| It doesn't need APM. |
| You may suspend your machine by 'swsusp' or 'shutdown -z <time>' |
| (patch for sysvinit needed). |
| |
| It creates an image which is saved in your active swap. Upon next |
| boot, pass the 'resume=/dev/swappartition' argument to the kernel to |
| have it detect the saved image, restore memory state from it, and |
| continue to run as before. If you do not want the previous state to |
| be reloaded, then use the 'noresume' kernel argument. However, note |
| that your partitions will be fsck'd and you must re-mkswap your swap |
| partitions. It does not work with swap files. |
| |
| Right now you may boot without resuming and then later resume but |
| in meantime you cannot use those swap partitions/files which were |
| involved in suspending. Also in this case there is a risk that buffers |
| on disk won't match with saved ones. |
| |
| For more information take a look at <file:Documentation/power/swsusp.txt>. |
| |
| config PM_STD_PARTITION |
| string "Default resume partition" |
| depends on SOFTWARE_SUSPEND |
| default "" |
| ---help--- |
| The default resume partition is the partition that the suspend- |
| to-disk implementation will look for a suspended disk image. |
| |
| The partition specified here will be different for almost every user. |
| It should be a valid swap partition (at least for now) that is turned |
| on before suspending. |
| |
| The partition specified can be overridden by specifying: |
| |
| resume=/dev/<other device> |
| |
| which will set the resume partition to the device specified. |
| |
| Note there is currently not a way to specify which device to save the |
| suspended image to. It will simply pick the first available swap |
| device. |
| |
| config SWSUSP_ENCRYPT |
| bool "Encrypt suspend image" |
| depends on SOFTWARE_SUSPEND && CRYPTO=y && (CRYPTO_AES=y || CRYPTO_AES_586=y || CRYPTO_AES_X86_64=y) |
| default "" |
| ---help--- |
| To prevent data gathering from swap after resume you can encrypt |
| the suspend image with a temporary key that is deleted on |
| resume. |
| |
| Note that the temporary key is stored unencrypted on disk while the |
| system is suspended. |
| |
| config SUSPEND_SMP |
| bool |
| depends on HOTPLUG_CPU && X86 && PM |
| default y |
