PM: hibernate: add sysfs interface for hibernate_compression_threads

2025-10-30T19:07:00Z

Add a sysfs attribute `/sys/power/hibernate_compression_threads` to allow runtime configuration of the number of threads used for compressing and decompressing hibernation images. The new sysfs interface enables dynamic adjustment at runtime: # cat /sys/power/hibernate_compression_threads 3 # echo 4 > /sys/power/hibernate_compression_threads This change provides greater flexibility for debugging and performance tuning of hibernation without requiring a reboot.

PM: Add sysfs files to represent time spent in hardware sleep state

2023-04-20T17:06:12Z

Userspace can't easily discover how much of a sleep cycle was spent in a hardware sleep state without using kernel tracing and vendor specific sysfs or debugfs files. To make this information more discoverable, introduce 3 new sysfs files: 1) The time spent in a hw sleep state for last cycle. 2) The time spent in a hw sleep state since the kernel booted 3) The maximum time that the hardware can report for a sleep cycle. All of these files will be present only if the system supports s2idle. Reviewed-by: Hans de Goede Signed-off-by: Mario Limonciello Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

There are some ABI documents that, while they don't generate any warnings, they have issues when parsed by get_abi.pl script on its output result. Address them, in order to provide a clean output.

PM: suspend: Add sysfs attribute to control the "sync on suspend" behavior

2020-01-16T20:47:03Z

The sysfs attribute `/sys/power/sync_on_suspend` controls, whether or not filesystems are synced by the kernel before system suspend. Congruously, the behaviour of build-time switch CONFIG_SUSPEND_SKIP_SYNC is slightly changed: It now defines the run-tim default for the new sysfs attribute `/sys/power/sync_on_suspend`. The run-time attribute is added because the existing corresponding build-time Kconfig flag for (`CONFIG_SUSPEND_SKIP_SYNC`) is not flexible enough. E.g. Linux distributions that provide pre-compiled kernels usually want to stick with the default (sync filesystems before suspend) but under special conditions this needs to be changed. One example for such a special condition is user-space handling of suspending block devices (e.g. using `cryptsetup luksSuspend` or `dmsetup suspend`) before system suspend. The Kernel trying to sync filesystems after the underlying block device already got suspended obviously leads to dead-locks. Be aware that you have to take care of the filesystem sync yourself before suspending the system in those scenarios. Signed-off-by: Jonas Meurer Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki
