Subject: [patch] suspend debugging: simulate suspend-to-RAM
From: Ingo Molnar <[email protected]>
most resume bugs are due to the kernel hanging or crashing while trying
to resume a specific device. It is extremely hard to debug such hangs
because often when the hang happens there's no console available yet.
Make debugging such bugs easier by offering a resume mode that does not
actually call into the BIOS to turn off the machine. This, in
combination with earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,115200,keep ,
CONFIG_PM_DEBUG=y, CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND=y and
/sys/power/filter enables me to have a fully functional serial console
during the full suspend/resume cycle.
I debugged two suspend bugs in the -rt kernel this way already, so it's
pretty useful.
