Situation is a little different between u/swsusp and khiberantion.
u/swsusp:
platform_start();
suspend console();
device_suspend(PMSG_FREEZE);
platform_pre_snapshot();
disable_nonboot_cpus();
local_irq_disable();
device_power_down(PMSG_FREEZE);
/* create snapshot */
device_power_up();
local_irq_enable();
enable_nonboot_cpus();
platform_finish();
device_resume();
resume_console();
/* write the image out */
hibernation_ops->start();
suspend_console();
device_suspend(PMSG_SUSPEND);
hibernation_ops->prepare();
disable_nonboot_cpus();
local_irq_disable();
device_power_down(PMSG_SUSPEND);
hibernation_ops->enter();
khibernation:
suspend_console();
platform_start();
device_suspend(PMSG_FREEZE);
platform_pre_snapshot();
disable_nonboot_cpus();
local_irq_disable();
device_power_down(PMSG_FREEZE);
/* jump to kexeced (hibernating) kernel */
/* in kexeced kernel */
device_power_up();
local_irq_eanble();
enable_nonboot_cpus();
device_resume();
resume_console();
/* write the image */
suspend_console();
device_suspend(PMSG_FREEZE);
disable_nonboot_cpus();
local_irq_disable();
device_power_down(PMSG_FREEZE);
/* jump to original (hibernated) kernel */
/* in original kernel */
hibernation_ops->enter();
The difference is:
- In u/swsusp, ACPI methods are executed twice, before writing out the
image and after writing out the image.
- After writing out the image, the PMSG_SUSPEND is used instead of
PMSG_FREEZE.
Some questions:
- What is the difference between PMSG_SUSPEND and PMSG_FREEZE?
- The ACPI methods should be executed once or twice? According to ACPI
specification?
