【Linux kernel】Linux电源管理(4)_Power Management Interface

1. 前言

Linux电源管理中,相当多的部分是在处理Hibernate、Suspend、Runtime PM等功能。而这些功能都基于一套相似的逻辑,即“Power management interface”。该Interface的代码实现于“include/linux/pm.h”、“drivers/base/power/main.c”等文件中。主要功能是:对下,定义Device PM相关的回调函数,让各个Driver实现;对上,实现统一的PM操作函数,供PM核心逻辑调用。

因此在对Hibernate、Suspend、Runtime PM等功能解析之前,有必要先熟悉一下PM Interface,这就是本文的主要目的。

2. device PM callbacks

在一个系统中,数量最多的是设备,耗电最多的也是设备,因此设备的电源管理是Linux电源管理的核心内容。而设备电源管理最核心的操作就是:在合适的时机(如不再使用,如暂停使用),将设备置为合理的状态(如关闭,如睡眠)。这就是device PM callbacks的目的:定义一套统一的方式,让设备在特定的时机,步调一致的进入类似的状态(可以想象一下军训时的“一二一”口令)。

在旧版本的内核中,这些PM callbacks分布在设备模型的大型数据结构中,如struct bus_type中的suspend、suspend_late、resume、resume_late,如struct device_driver/struct class/struct device_type中的suspend、resume。很显然这样不具备良好的封装特性,因为随着设备复杂度的增加,简单的suspend、resume已经不能满足电源管理的需求,就需要扩充PM callbacks,就会不可避免的改动这些数据结构。

于是新版本的内核,就将这些Callbacks统一封装为一个数据结构----struct dev_pm_ops,上层的数据结构只需要包含这个结构即可。这样如果需要增加或者修改PM callbacks,就不用改动上层结构了(这就是软件设计中抽象和封装的生动体现,像艺术一样优雅)。当然,内核为了兼容旧的设计,也保留了上述的suspend/resume类型的callbacks,只是已不建议使用,本文就不再介绍它们了。

相信每一个熟悉了旧版本内核的Linux工程师,看到struct dev_pm_ops时都会虎躯一震,这玩意也太复杂了吧!不信您请看:

/*** struct dev_pm_ops - device PM callbacks.** @prepare: The principal role of this callback is to prevent new children of*	the device from being registered after it has returned (the driver's*	subsystem and generally the rest of the kernel is supposed to prevent*	new calls to the probe method from being made too once @prepare() has*	succeeded).  If @prepare() detects a situation it cannot handle (e.g.*	registration of a child already in progress), it may return -EAGAIN, so*	that the PM core can execute it once again (e.g. after a new child has*	been registered) to recover from the race condition.*	This method is executed for all kinds of suspend transitions and is*	followed by one of the suspend callbacks: @suspend(), @freeze(), or*	@poweroff().  If the transition is a suspend to memory or standby (that*	is, not related to hibernation), the return value of @prepare() may be*	used to indicate to the PM core to leave the device in runtime suspend*	if applicable.  Namely, if @prepare() returns a positive number, the PM*	core will understand that as a declaration that the device appears to be*	runtime-suspended and it may be left in that state during the entire*	transition and during the subsequent resume if all of its descendants*	are left in runtime suspend too.  If that happens, @complete() will be*	executed directly after @prepare() and it must ensure the proper*	functioning of the device after the system resume.*	The PM core executes subsystem-level @prepare() for all devices before*	starting to invoke suspend callbacks for any of them, so generally*	devices may be assumed to be functional or to respond to runtime resume*	requests while @prepare() is being executed.  However, device drivers*	may NOT assume anything about the availability of user space at that*	time and it is NOT valid to request firmware from within @prepare()*	(it's too late to do that).  It also is NOT valid to allocate*	substantial amounts of memory from @prepare() in the GFP_KERNEL mode.*	[To work around these limitations, drivers may register suspend and*	hibernation notifiers to be executed before the freezing of tasks.]** @complete: Undo the changes made by @prepare().  This method is executed for*	all kinds of resume transitions, following one of the resume callbacks:*	@resume(), @thaw(), @restore().  Also called if the state transition*	fails before the driver's suspend callback: @suspend(), @freeze() or*	@poweroff(), can be executed (e.g. if the suspend callback fails for one*	of the other devices that the PM core has unsuccessfully attempted to*	suspend earlier).*	The PM core executes subsystem-level @complete() after it has executed*	the appropriate resume callbacks for all devices.  If the corresponding*	@prepare() at the beginning of the suspend transition returned a*	positive number and the device was left in runtime suspend (without*	executing any suspend and resume callbacks for it), @complete() will be*	the only callback executed for the device during resume.  In that case,*	@complete() must be prepared to do whatever is necessary to ensure the*	proper functioning of the device after the system resume.  To this end,*	@complete() can check the power.direct_complete flag of the device to*	learn whether (unset) or not (set) the previous suspend and resume*	callbacks have been executed for it.** @suspend: Executed before putting the system into a sleep state in which the*	contents of main memory are preserved.  The exact action to perform*	depends on the device's subsystem (PM domain, device type, class or bus*	type), but generally the device must be quiescent after subsystem-level*	@suspend() has returned, so that it doesn't do any I/O or DMA.*	Subsystem-level @suspend() is executed for all devices after invoking*	subsystem-level @prepare() for all of them.** @suspend_late: Continue operations started by @suspend().  For a number of*	devices @suspend_late() may point to the same callback routine as the*	runtime suspend callback.** @resume: Executed after waking the system up from a sleep state in which the*	contents of main memory were preserved.  The exact action to perform*	depends on the device's subsystem, but generally the driver is expected*	to start working again, responding to hardware events and software*	requests (the device itself may be left in a low-power state, waiting*	for a runtime resume to occur).  The state of the device at the time its*	driver's @resume() callback is run depends on the platform and subsystem*	the device belongs to.  On most platforms, there are no restrictions on*	availability of resources like clocks during @resume().*	Subsystem-level @resume() is executed for all devices after invoking*	subsystem-level @resume_noirq() for all of them.** @resume_early: Prepare to execute @resume().  For a number of devices*	@resume_early() may point to the same callback routine as the runtime*	resume callback.** @freeze: Hibernation-specific, executed before creating a hibernation image.*	Analogous to @suspend(), but it should not enable the device to signal*	wakeup events or change its power state.  The majority of subsystems*	(with the notable exception of the PCI bus type) expect the driver-level*	@freeze() to save the device settings in memory to be used by @restore()*	during the subsequent resume from hibernation.*	Subsystem-level @freeze() is executed for all devices after invoking*	subsystem-level @prepare() for all of them.** @freeze_late: Continue operations started by @freeze().  Analogous to*	@suspend_late(), but it should not enable the device to signal wakeup*	events or change its power state.** @thaw: Hibernation-specific, executed after creating a hibernation image OR*	if the creation of an image has failed.  Also executed after a failing*	attempt to restore the contents of main memory from such an image.*	Undo the changes made by the preceding @freeze(), so the device can be*	operated in the same way as immediately before the call to @freeze().*	Subsystem-level @thaw() is executed for all devices after invoking*	subsystem-level @thaw_noirq() for all of them.  It also may be executed*	directly after @freeze() in case of a transition error.** @thaw_early: Prepare to execute @thaw().  Undo the changes made by the*	preceding @freeze_late().** @poweroff: Hibernation-specific, executed after saving a hibernation image.*	Analogous to @suspend(), but it need not save the device's settings in*	memory.*	Subsystem-level @poweroff() is executed for all devices after invoking*	subsystem-level @prepare() for all of them.** @poweroff_late: Continue operations started by @poweroff().  Analogous to*	@suspend_late(), but it need not save the device's settings in memory.** @restore: Hibernation-specific, executed after restoring the contents of main*	memory from a hibernation image, analogous to @resume().** @restore_early: Prepare to execute @restore(), analogous to @resume_early().** @suspend_noirq: Complete the actions started by @suspend().  Carry out any*	additional operations required for suspending the device that might be*	racing with its driver's interrupt handler, which is guaranteed not to*	run while @suspend_noirq() is being executed.*	It generally is expected that the device will be in a low-power state*	(appropriate for the target system sleep state) after subsystem-level*	@suspend_noirq() has returned successfully.  If the device can generate*	system wakeup signals and is enabled to wake up the system, it should be*	configured to do so at that time.  However, depending on the platform*	and device's subsystem, @suspend() or @suspend_late() may be allowed to*	put the device into the low-power state and configure it to generate*	wakeup signals, in which case it generally is not necessary to define*	@suspend_noirq().** @resume_noirq: Prepare for the execution of @resume() by carrying out any*	operations required for resuming the device that might be racing with*	its driver's interrupt handler, which is guaranteed not to run while*	@resume_noirq() is being executed.** @freeze_noirq: Complete the actions started by @freeze().  Carry out any*	additional operations required for freezing the device that might be*	racing with its driver's interrupt handler, which is guaranteed not to*	run while @freeze_noirq() is being executed.*	The power state of the device should not be changed by either @freeze(),*	or @freeze_late(), or @freeze_noirq() and it should not be configured to*	signal system wakeup by any of these callbacks.** @thaw_noirq: Prepare for the execution of @thaw() by carrying out any*	operations required for thawing the device that might be racing with its*	driver's interrupt handler, which is guaranteed not to run while*	@thaw_noirq() is being executed.** @poweroff_noirq: Complete the actions started by @poweroff().  Analogous to*	@suspend_noirq(), but it need not save the device's settings in memory.** @restore_noirq: Prepare for the execution of @restore() by carrying out any*	operations required for thawing the device that might be racing with its*	driver's interrupt handler, which is guaranteed not to run while*	@restore_noirq() is being executed.  Analogous to @resume_noirq().** @runtime_suspend: Prepare the device for a condition in which it won't be*	able to communicate with the CPU(s) and RAM due to power management.*	This need not mean that the device should be put into a low-power state.*	For example, if the device is behind a link which is about to be turned*	off, the device may remain at full power.  If the device does go to low*	power and is capable of generating runtime wakeup events, remote wakeup*	(i.e., a hardware mechanism allowing the device to request a change of*	its power state via an interrupt) should be enabled for it.** @runtime_resume: Put the device into the fully active state in response to a*	wakeup event generated by hardware or at the request of software.  If*	necessary, put the device into the full-power state and restore its*	registers, so that it is fully operational.** @runtime_idle: Device appears to be inactive and it might be put into a*	low-power state if all of the necessary conditions are satisfied.*	Check these conditions, and return 0 if it's appropriate to let the PM*	core queue a suspend request for the device.** Several device power state transitions are externally visible, affecting* the state of pending I/O queues and (for drivers that touch hardware)* interrupts, wakeups, DMA, and other hardware state.  There may also be* internal transitions to various low-power modes which are transparent* to the rest of the driver stack (such as a driver that's ON gating off* clocks which are not in active use).** The externally visible transitions are handled with the help of callbacks* included in this structure in such a way that, typically, two levels of* callbacks are involved.  First, the PM core executes callbacks provided by PM* domains, device types, classes and bus types.  They are the subsystem-level* callbacks expected to execute callbacks provided by device drivers, although* they may choose not to do that.  If the driver callbacks are executed, they* have to collaborate with the subsystem-level callbacks to achieve the goals* appropriate for the given system transition, given transition phase and the* subsystem the device belongs to.** All of the above callbacks, except for @complete(), return error codes.* However, the error codes returned by @resume(), @thaw(), @restore(),* @resume_noirq(), @thaw_noirq(), and @restore_noirq(), do not cause the PM* core to abort the resume transition during which they are returned.  The* error codes returned in those cases are only printed to the system logs for* debugging purposes.  Still, it is recommended that drivers only return error* codes from their resume methods in case of an unrecoverable failure (i.e.* when the device being handled refuses to resume and becomes unusable) to* allow the PM core to be modified in the future, so that it can avoid* attempting to handle devices that failed to resume and their children.** It is allowed to unregister devices while the above callbacks are being* executed.  However, a callback routine MUST NOT try to unregister the device* it was called for, although it may unregister children of that device (for* example, if it detects that a child was unplugged while the system was* asleep).** There also are callbacks related to runtime power management of devices.* Again, as a rule these callbacks are executed by the PM core for subsystems* (PM domains, device types, classes and bus types) and the subsystem-level* callbacks are expected to invoke the driver callbacks.  Moreover, the exact* actions to be performed by a device driver's callbacks generally depend on* the platform and subsystem the device belongs to.** Refer to Documentation/power/runtime_pm.rst for more information about the* role of the @runtime_suspend(), @runtime_resume() and @runtime_idle()* callbacks in device runtime power management.*/
struct dev_pm_ops {int (*prepare)(struct device *dev);void (*complete)(struct device *dev);int (*suspend)(struct device *dev);int (*resume)(struct device *dev);int (*freeze)(struct device *dev);int (*thaw)(struct device *dev);int (*poweroff)(struct device *dev);int (*restore)(struct device *dev);int (*suspend_late)(struct device *dev);int (*resume_early)(struct device *dev);int (*freeze_late)(struct device *dev);int (*thaw_early)(struct device *dev);int (*poweroff_late)(struct device *dev);int (*restore_early)(struct device *dev);int (*suspend_noirq)(struct device *dev);int (*resume_noirq)(struct device *dev);int (*freeze_noirq)(struct device *dev);int (*thaw_noirq)(struct device *dev);int (*poweroff_noirq)(struct device *dev);int (*restore_noirq)(struct device *dev);int (*runtime_suspend)(struct device *dev);int (*runtime_resume)(struct device *dev);int (*runtime_idle)(struct device *dev);ANDROID_KABI_RESERVE(1);
};

从Linux PM Core的角度来说,这些callbacks并不复杂,因为PM Core要做的就是在特定的电源管理阶段,调用相应的callbacks,例如在suspend/resume的过程中,PM Core会依次调用“prepare—>suspend—>suspend_late—>suspend_noirq-------wakeup--------->resume_noirq—>resume_early—>resume–>complete”。(*_noirq阶段需要在IRQ被关闭的情况下执行(除非他们被IRQ_WAKEUP标记)。)

但由于这些callbacks需要由具体的设备Driver实现,这就要求驱动工程师在设计每个Driver时,清晰的知道这些callbacks的使用场景、是否需要实现、怎么实现,这才是struct dev_pm_ops的复杂之处。

Linux kernel对struct dev_pm_ops的注释已经非常详细了,但要弄清楚每个callback的使用场景、背后的思考,并不是一件容易的事情。因此蜗蜗不准备在本文对它们进行过多的解释,而打算结合具体的电源管理行为,基于具体的场景,再进行解释。

3. device PM callbacks在设备模型中的体现

我们在介绍“Linux设备模型”时,曾多次提及电源管理相关的内容,那时蜗蜗采取忽略的方式,暂不说明。现在是时候回过头再去看看了。

Linux设备模型中的很多数据结构,都会包含struct dev_pm_ops变量,具体如下:

   1: struct bus_type {2:         ...3:         const struct dev_pm_ops *pm;4:         ...5: };6:  7: struct device_driver {8:         ...9:         const struct dev_pm_ops *pm;10:         ...11: };12:  13: struct class {14:         ...15:         const struct dev_pm_ops *pm;16:         ...17: };18:  19: struct device_type {20:         ...21:         const struct dev_pm_ops *pm;22: };23:  24: struct device {25:         ...26:         struct dev_pm_info      power;27:         struct dev_pm_domain    *pm_domain;28:         ...29: };

bus_type、device_driver、class、device_type等结构中的pm指针,比较容易理解,和旧的suspend/resume callbacks类似。我们重点关注一下device结构中的power和pm_domain变量。

◆power变量

power是一个struct dev_pm_info类型的变量,也在“include/linux/pm.h”中定义。从蜗蜗一直工作于的Linux-2.6.23内核,到写这篇文章所用的Linux-3.10.29内核,这个数据结构可是一路发展壮大,从那时的只有4个字段,到现在有40多个字段,简直是想起来什么就放什么啊!

power变量主要保存PM相关的状态,如当前的power_state、是否可以被唤醒、是否已经prepare完成、是否已经suspend完成等等。由于涉及的内容非常多,我们在具体使用的时候,顺便说明。

◆pm_domain指针

在当前的内核中,struct dev_pm_domain结构只包含了一个struct dev_pm_ops ops。蜗蜗猜测这是从可扩展性方面考虑的,后续随着内核的进化,可能会在该结构中添加其他内容。

所谓的PM Domain(电源域),是针对“device”来说的。bus_type、device_driver、class、device_type等结构,本质上代表的是设备驱动,电源管理的操作,由设备驱动负责,是理所应当的。但在内核中,由于各种原因,是允许没有driver的device存在的,那么怎么处理这些设备的电源管理呢?就是通过设备的电源域实现的。

4. device PM callbacks的操作函数

内核在定义device PM callbacks数据结构的同时,为了方便使用该数据结构,也定义了大量的操作API,这些API分为两类。

◆通用的辅助性质的API,直接调用指定设备所绑定的driver的、pm指针的、相应的callback,如

extern int pm_generic_prepare(struct device *dev);
extern int pm_generic_suspend_late(struct device *dev);
extern int pm_generic_suspend_noirq(struct device *dev);
extern int pm_generic_suspend(struct device *dev);
extern int pm_generic_resume_early(struct device *dev);
extern int pm_generic_resume_noirq(struct device *dev);
extern int pm_generic_resume(struct device *dev);
extern int pm_generic_freeze_noirq(struct device *dev);
extern int pm_generic_freeze_late(struct device *dev);
extern int pm_generic_freeze(struct device *dev);
extern int pm_generic_thaw_noirq(struct device *dev);
extern int pm_generic_thaw_early(struct device *dev);
extern int pm_generic_thaw(struct device *dev);
extern int pm_generic_restore_noirq(struct device *dev);
extern int pm_generic_restore_early(struct device *dev);
extern int pm_generic_restore(struct device *dev);
extern int pm_generic_poweroff_noirq(struct device *dev);
extern int pm_generic_poweroff_late(struct device *dev);
extern int pm_generic_poweroff(struct device *dev);
extern void pm_generic_complete(struct device *dev);

以pm_generic_prepare为例,就是查看dev->driver->pm->prepare接口是否存在,如果存在,直接调用并返回结果。

◆和整体电源管理行为相关的API,目的是将各个独立的电源管理行为组合起来,组成一个较为简单的功能,如下

#ifdef CONFIG_PM_SLEEP
extern void device_pm_lock(void);
extern void dpm_resume_start(pm_message_t state);
extern void dpm_resume_end(pm_message_t state);
extern void dpm_resume_noirq(pm_message_t state);
extern void dpm_resume_early(pm_message_t state);
extern void dpm_resume(pm_message_t state);
extern void dpm_complete(pm_message_t state);extern void device_pm_unlock(void);
extern int dpm_suspend_end(pm_message_t state);
extern int dpm_suspend_start(pm_message_t state);
extern int dpm_suspend_noirq(pm_message_t state);
extern int dpm_suspend_late(pm_message_t state);
extern int dpm_suspend(pm_message_t state);
extern int dpm_prepare(pm_message_t state);

这些API的功能和动作解析如下。

dpm_prepare,执行所有设备的“->prepare() callback(s)”,内部动作为:

1)遍历dpm_list,依次取出挂在该list中的device指针。【注1:设备模型在添加设备(device_add)时,会调用device_pm_add接口,将该设备添加到全局链表dpm_list中,以方便后续的遍历操作。】2)调用内部接口device_prepare,执行实际的prepare动作。该接口会返回执行的结果。3)如果执行失败,打印错误信息。4)如果执行成功,将dev->power.is_prepared(就是上面我们提到的struct dev_pm_info类型的变量)设为TRUE,表示设备已经prepared了。同时,将该设备添加到dpm_prepared_list中(该链表保存了所有已经处于prepared状态的设备)。内部接口device_prepare的执行动作为:1)根据dev->power.syscore,断该设备是否为syscore设备。如果是,则直接返回(因为syscore设备会单独处理)。2)在prepare时期,调用pm_runtime_get_noresume接口,关闭Runtime suspend功能。以避免由Runtime suspend造成的不能正常唤醒的Issue。该功能会在complete时被重新开启。【注2:pm_runtime_get_noresume的实现很简单,就是增加该设备power变量的引用计数(dev->power.usage_count),Runtime PM会根据该计数是否大于零,判断是否开启Runtime PM功能。】3)调用device_may_wakeup接口,根据当前设备是否有wakeup source(dev->power.wakeup)以及是否允许wakeup(dev->power.can_wakeup),判定该设备是否是一个wakeup path(记录在dev->power.wakeup_path中)。【注3:设备的wake up功能,是指系统在低功耗状态下(如suspend、hibernate),某些设备具备唤醒系统的功能。这是电源管理过程的一部分。】4)根据优先顺序,获得用于prepare的callback函数。由于设备模型有bus、driver、device等多个层级,而prepare接口可能由任意一个层级实现。这里的优先顺序是指,只要优先级高的层级注册了prepare,就会优先使用它,而不会使用优先级低的prepare。优先顺序为:dev->pm_domain->ops、dev->type->pm、dev->class->pm、dev->bus->pm、dev->driver->pm(这个优先顺序同样适用于其它callbacks)。5)如果得到有限的prepare函数,调用并返回结果。

dpm_suspend,执行所有设备的“->suspend() callback(s)”,其内部动作和dpm_prepare类似:

1)遍历dpm_list,依次取出挂在该list中的device指针。2)调用内部接口device_suspend,执行实际的prepare动作。该接口会返回执行的结果。3)如果suspend失败,将该设备的信息记录在一个struct suspend_stats类型的数组中,并打印错误错误信息。4)最后将设备从其它链表(如dpm_prepared_list),转移到dpm_suspended_list链表中。内部接口device_suspend的动作和device_prepare类似,这里不再描述了。

dpm_suspend_start,依次执行dpm_prepare和dpm_suspend两个动作。

dpm_suspend_end,依次执行所有设备的“->suspend_late() callback(s)”以及所有设备的“->suspend_noirq() callback(s)”。动作和上面描述的类似,这里不再说明了。

dpm_resume、dpm_complete、dpm_resume_start、dpm_resume_end,是电源管理过程的唤醒动作,和dpm_suspend_xxx系列的接口类似。不再说明了。
