System Power Management API.

Functions

bool pm_state_force(uint8_t cpu, const struct pm_state_info *info)

Force usage of given power state.

This function overrides decision made by PM policy forcing usage of given power state upon next entry of the idle thread.

Note

This function can only run in thread context

Parameters:

  • cpu – CPU index.

  • info – Power state which should be used in the ongoing suspend operation.

void pm_notifier_register(struct pm_notifier *notifier)

Register a power management notifier.

Register the given notifier from the power management notification list.

Parameters:
int pm_notifier_unregister(struct pm_notifier *notifier)

Unregister a power management notifier.

Remove the given notifier from the power management notification list. After that this object callbacks will not be called.

Parameters:
Returns:

0 if the notifier was successfully removed, a negative value otherwise.

const struct pm_state_info *pm_state_next_get(uint8_t cpu)

Gets the next power state that will be used.

This function returns the next power state that will be used by the SoC.

Parameters:

  • cpu – CPU index.

Returns:

next pm_state_info that will be used

struct pm_notifier
#include <pm.h>

Power management notifier struct

This struct contains callbacks that are called when the target enters and exits power states.

As currently implemented the entry callback is invoked when transitioning from PM_STATE_ACTIVE to another state, and the exit callback is invoked when transitioning from a non-active state to PM_STATE_ACTIVE. This behavior may change in the future.

Note

These callbacks can be called from the ISR of the event that caused the kernel exit from idling.

Note

It is not allowed to call pm_notifier_unregister or pm_notifier_register from these callbacks because they are called with the spin locked in those functions.

Public Members

Enums

enum pm_state

Power management state

Values:

enumerator PM_STATE_ACTIVE

Runtime active state.

The system is fully powered and active.

Note

This state is correlated with ACPI G0/S0 state

enumerator PM_STATE_RUNTIME_IDLE

Runtime idle state.

Runtime idle is a system sleep state in which all of the cores enter deepest possible idle state and wait for interrupts, no requirements for the devices, leaving them at the states where they are.

Note

This state is correlated with ACPI S0ix state

enumerator PM_STATE_SUSPEND_TO_IDLE

Suspend to idle state.

The system goes through a normal platform suspend where it puts all of the cores in deepest possible idle state and may puts peripherals into low-power states. No operating state is lost (ie. the cpu core does not lose execution context), so the system can go back to where it left off easily enough.

Note

This state is correlated with ACPI S1 state

enumerator PM_STATE_STANDBY

Standby state.

In addition to putting peripherals into low-power states all non-boot CPUs are powered off. It should allow more energy to be saved relative to suspend to idle, but the resume latency will generally be greater than for that state. But it should be the same state with suspend to idle state on uniprocessor system.

Note

This state is correlated with ACPI S2 state

enumerator PM_STATE_SUSPEND_TO_RAM

Suspend to ram state.

This state offers significant energy savings by powering off as much of the system as possible, where memory should be placed into the self-refresh mode to retain its contents. The state of devices and CPUs is saved and held in memory, and it may require some boot- strapping code in ROM to resume the system from it.

Note

This state is correlated with ACPI S3 state

enumerator PM_STATE_SUSPEND_TO_DISK

Suspend to disk state.

This state offers significant energy savings by powering off as much of the system as possible, including the memory. The contents of memory are written to disk or other non-volatile storage, and on resume it’s read back into memory with the help of boot-strapping code, restores the system to the same point of execution where it went to suspend to disk.

Note

This state is correlated with ACPI S4 state

enumerator PM_STATE_SOFT_OFF

Soft off state.

This state consumes a minimal amount of power and requires a large latency in order to return to runtime active state. The contents of system(CPU and memory) will not be preserved, so the system will be restarted as if from initial power-up and kernel boot.

Note

This state is correlated with ACPI G2/S5 state

enumerator PM_STATE_COUNT

Number of power management states (internal use)

Functions

uint8_t pm_state_cpu_get_all(uint8_t cpu, const struct pm_state_info **states)

Obtain information about all supported states by a CPU.

Parameters:

  • cpu – CPU index.

  • states – Where to store the list of supported states.

Returns:

Number of supported states.

struct pm_state_info
#include <state.h>

Information about a power management state

Public Members

uint8_t substate_id

Some platforms have multiple states that map to one Zephyr power state. This property allows the platform distinguish them. e.g:

power-states {
   state0: state0 {
           compatible = "zephyr,power-state";
           power-state-name = "suspend-to-idle";
           substate-id = <1>;
           min-residency-us = <10000>;
           exit-latency-us = <100>;
   };
   state1: state1 {
           compatible = "zephyr,power-state";
           power-state-name = "suspend-to-idle";
           substate-id = <2>;
           min-residency-us = <20000>;
           exit-latency-us = <200>;
   };
};
uint32_t min_residency_us

Minimum residency duration in microseconds. It is the minimum time for a given idle state to be worthwhile energywise.

Note

0 means that this property is not available for this state.

uint32_t exit_latency_us

Worst case latency in microseconds required to exit the idle state.

Note

0 means that this property is not available for this state.

Policy

group subsys_pm_sys_policy

System Power Management Policy API.

Defines

PM_ALL_SUBSTATES

Special value for ‘all substates’.

Typedefs

typedef void (*pm_policy_latency_changed_cb_t)(int32_t latency)

Callback to notify when maximum latency changes.

Param latency:

New maximum latency. Positive value represents latency in microseconds. SYS_FOREVER_US value lifts the latency constraint. Other values are forbidden.

Functions

void pm_policy_state_lock_get(enum pm_state state, uint8_t substate_id)

Increase a power state lock counter.

A power state will not be allowed on the first call of pm_policy_state_lock_get(). Subsequent calls will just increase a reference count, thus meaning this API can be safely used concurrently. A state will be allowed again after pm_policy_state_lock_put() is called as many times as pm_policy_state_lock_get().

Note that the PM_STATE_ACTIVE state is always allowed, so calling this API with PM_STATE_ACTIVE will have no effect.

See also

pm_policy_state_lock_put()

Parameters:

  • state – Power state.

  • substate_id – Power substate ID. Use PM_ALL_SUBSTATES to affect all the substates in the given power state.

void pm_policy_state_lock_put(enum pm_state state, uint8_t substate_id)

Decrease a power state lock counter.

See also

pm_policy_state_lock_get()

Parameters:

  • state – Power state.

  • substate_id – Power substate ID. Use PM_ALL_SUBSTATES to affect all the substates in the given power state.

Check if a power state lock is active (not allowed).

Parameters:

  • state – Power state.

  • substate_id – Power substate ID. Use PM_ALL_SUBSTATES to affect all the substates in the given power state.

static inline void pm_device_init_suspended(const struct device *dev)

Initialize a device state to PM_DEVICE_STATE_SUSPENDED.

By default device state is initialized to PM_DEVICE_STATE_ACTIVE. However in order to save power some drivers may choose to only initialize the device to the suspended state, or actively put the device into the suspended state. This function can therefore be used to notify the PM subsystem that the device is in PM_DEVICE_STATE_SUSPENDED instead of the default.

Parameters:

  • dev – Device instance.

static inline void pm_device_init_off(const struct device *dev)

Initialize a device state to PM_DEVICE_STATE_OFF.

By default device state is initialized to PM_DEVICE_STATE_ACTIVE. In general, this makes sense because the device initialization function will resume and configure a device, leaving it operational. However, when power domains are enabled, the device may be connected to a switchable power source, in which case it won’t be powered at boot. This function can therefore be used to notify the PM subsystem that the device is in PM_DEVICE_STATE_OFF instead of the default.

Parameters:

  • dev – Device instance.

void pm_device_busy_set(const struct device *dev)
