The kernel supports four power management states generically, though
|
||||
one is generic and the other three are dependent on platform support
|
||||
code to implement the low-level details for each state.
|
||||
This file describes each state, what they are
|
||||
commonly called, what ACPI state they map to, and what string to write
|
||||
to /sys/power/state to enter that state
|
||||
|

state: Freeze / Low-Power Idle
|

ACPI state: S0
|
||||
String: "freeze"
|
||||
|
||||
This state is a generic, pure software, light-weight, low-power state.
|
||||
It allows more energy to be saved relative to idle by freezing user
|
||||
space and putting all I/O devices into low-power states (possibly
|
||||
lower-power than available at run time), such that the processors can
|
||||
spend more time in their idle states.
|
||||
This state can be used for platforms without Standby/Suspend-to-RAM
|
||||
support, or it can be used in addition to Suspend-to-RAM (memory sleep)
|
||||
to provide reduced resume latency.
