[PATCH] PM: Hide CONFIG_PM from users

[PATCH] PM: Hide CONFIG_PM from users

[Mark Brown]

It is very rare to find a current system which is both sufficiently
resource constrained to want to compile out power management support
and sufficiently power insensitive to be able to tolerate doing so.
Since having the configuration option requires non-zero effort to
maintain, with ifdefery in most drivers, but it is used with vanishing
rarity it is simpler to just remove the option.

Begin doing so by hiding it from users - this should attract complaints
from any active users. The option is left disabled for the IA64 Ski
simulator which is a partial simulator for IA64 systems mostly missing
device support. This is a very limited use case which is unlikely to
ever want to enable most drivers.

The following architectures do not source "kernel/power/Kconfig":

alpha
cris
h8300
Kconfig
m32r
m68k
m68knommu
microblaze
parisc
score
sparc
tile
um
xtensa

Which means that (for now) I don't have to care that CONFIG_PM becomes
unclearable. Other people may care, though...

The whole point of the patch is that (other than the IA64 emulator which
explicitly requires that CONFIG_PM be disabled) I strongly suspect that
nobody is actually using this configuration except as a result of
randconfig type testing.

Well, either make it dependent on CONFIG_EXPERT or remove the option altogether.

The goal is the latter but when I saw the IA64 emulator there I didn't
want to make it instabuggy.  The current patch means we get the UI
effect of the change (especially in terms of avoiding it turning up in
randconfigs or whatever).

Several powerpc configs have CONFIG_PM (implicitly) disabled (e.g. the
server configs), so this will unexpectedly turn it on for them.

Do you mean that these systems require CONFIG_PM be turned off, or just
that people tend not to turn it on?  If the latter would you expect any
ill effects from doing so?

I don't know the answer to either question without testing.  All I am
saying is that currently the default for CONFIG_PM is "off" and you are
changing it to be "on" and there may not have been any testing done of
that in some situations.   We don't know where it was explicitly
turned off any more since we shrank our defconfig files (which was done
automatically) ... since it is off by default, it doesn't need to be
mentioned in a defconfig unless it needs to be turned on.

My suspicion would be that it'll have been turned off by someone hitting
return through a config upgrade rather than through deliberate effort.
On the other hand if it is essential for some machines to have it
disabled they probably want to have somethnig in Kconfig.

Yeah, but we can't tell if CONFIG_PM is turned off on purpose in those
defconfigs, or just off because noone explicitly turned it on.

At least some of the powerpc defconfigs were added with CONFIG_PM
disabled.  I assume that was on purpose (though it may not have been).

I'd not be so sure - since it's a bool without an explicit default set
Kconfig will default to disabling it and if anything enabling it is the
option that requires special effort.

This may be a naive suggestion, but have you considered simply _asking_
the people who added those defconfigs?

I'm rather hoping that they'll notice the mailing list thread or that
someone else who knows what's going on with them does - as Geert pointed
out there's a considerable number of defconfigs that have this turned
off.  It seems more sensible to get some idea if this seems sane to
people in the general case before going trying to identify and contact
so many individuals.

If there are systems that really require disabling CONFIG_PM we probably
need to add stuff to Kconfig to make sure it can't be enabled anyway;
this shouldn't enable any new configurations.

Well, as I've just said, I don't like this change.  I'd very much prefer it if
CONFIG_PM_OPS were renamed to CONFIG_PM.

Surely you're joking. I mean, do _you_ scan every message that comes
through lkml and its various sister lists?

Do a git blame and add them to the CC:. It's the polite thing to do.

Actually I do at least scan most of the lists.

It's also going to result in the mail not going to the mailing lists as
there's a limit on the number of people you can CC enforced by vger
which probably isn't constructive.  It's moot now but as I said in the
text you've helpfully cut I'd have suggested contacting them after the
thread had come to a conclusion.

I think it would be better to simply rename CONFIG_PM_OPS into CONFIG_PM.

However, there's a number of things that I'm afraid wouldn't build correctly
if none of CONFIG_PM_SLEEP and CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME were set in that case.

Anyway, I'll try to prepare a patch doing that and see what happens.
Stay tuned.

Rafael

That still leaves the IA64 emulator to worry about but I'm not
fundamentally opposed to that, it achieves a similar effect.  The main
thing I'm looking for here is to cut down on the configuration options
we have to maintain.

Actually CONFIG_PM_OPS probably also wants to be on independantly of
those two sometimes for .poweroff() which I'd expect to run even if we
can't suspend.

If you worry about that, then add CONFIG_PM_POWEROFF and make CONFIG_PM(_OPS)
depend on it, but I don't think it really is worth it, because people
generally don't make the poweroff code depend on CONFIG_PM.

Actually not so much the IA64 emulator (which does have the !PM
dependency declared already - I expect that'd just be moved) as any
other platforms with an undeclared dependency on !PM.

This doesn't seem like it's a worse time than any other?

Yeah, but some people seem very keen on removing the pointers to the PM
ops entirely when CONFIG_PM is disabled which means that you end up with
varying idioms for what you do with the PM ops as stuff gets ifdefed
out.  Then again I'm not sure anything would make those people any
happier.

If they depend on !PM, they cannot set PM_SLEEP or PM_RUNTIME, right?
So, if PM is defined as PM_SLEEP || PM_RUNTIME, everything should be fine
in that respect I suppose.

It is, because I'm working on some other changes right now that this interferes
with quite a bit.  Whatever.

I really think we should do things that makes sense rather that worry about
who's going to like or dislike it (except for Linus maybe, but he tends to like
things that make sense anyway).  At this point I think the change I suggested
makes sense, because it (a) simplifies things and (b) follows the quite common
practice which is to make PM callbacks depend on CONFIG_PM.

Anyway, below is a proof-of-concept patch.  It builds for me with a few
different combinations of the relevant options, but YMMV.  It probably
should be split into two or three patches for merging, but I guess a single
patch is better for testing.  Please let me know if there are any problems
with it.

I'd appreciate it if people could review/test it and drop their comments.

Thanks,
Rafael

Many people make these callback dependent on PM not because it makes
much sense but because it is possible to do so. However, aside of
randconfig compile testing, nobody really tests drivers that implement
PM in the !CONFIG_PM setting.

That I can agree with, but I'm not sure whether it is an argument against
the patch I've just posted or for it?

More of an observation for your (b) justification. I'd probably force
CONFIG_PM to always 'y'w while we weeding references to it from
drivers...

We simply can't force CONFIG_PM to 'y', because some platforms want it to be 'n'.

OTOH, if CONFIG_PM = CONFIG_PM_SLEEP||CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME, we can just leave the
#ifdefs as they are and simply avoid adding new ones, or use CONFIG_PM for all
PM callbacks.

I _think_ the answer is "want", which doesn't change a lot, because I'm not
going to convince people to stop wanting things. :-)

For sh at least turning on CONFIG_PM without PM_SLEEP or PM_RUNTIME is
largely pointless, so the bulk of the defconfigs have it turned off. The
few platforms that do use CONFIG_PM for something also have more
comprehensive support implemented. The few times we do have it enabled
without one of the others supported is simply for build coverage, mostly
due to sharing drivers (whatever isn't already triggered through
rand/allyes/modconfigs).

I would expect that this is a common scenario for the bulk of the
defconfigs that reflect PM being a platform-specific vs architecture-wide
property regardless of architecture, however.

So, part of the issue here is that it's not clear if having the ifdefs
in the drivers is really something that makes sense.  It's not at all
clear that anyone is actually making active use of them on real systems
rather than just doing build coverage testing, it really feels like the
ifdefs that people are currently using are just being cargo culted
around.

The reason it's come up for me is that dev_pm_ops changes things a bit
as you've got to decide how to handle the struct itself and there's no
clear decision on what the best way forward for that is (is it OK to
leave the struct if it's empty?) so you end up with the approach you
need to take varying between maintainers which is annoying.

Ok, there's some real bang for bucks in this patch, nice! It's a beginning.

Reviewed-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Also, i've Cc:-ed Linus, to check whether the idea to make power management a 
permanent, core portion of Linux has any obvious downsides we missed.

Rafael, could you do a defconfig-ish x86 build with and without CONFIG_PM, and post 
the 'size vmlinux' comparison - so that we can see the size difference? We make some 
things CONFIG_EXPERT configurable just to enable folks who *really* want to cut down 
on kernel size to configure it out.

Note that those usecases, even if they want a super-small kernel, might not care 
about PM at all while they care about size: small boot kernels in ROMs, or simple 
devices where CPU-idling implies deep low power mode, etc.

So the vmlinux size comparisons would be needed really. If it's 5k nobody will care. 
If it's 50k-100k that's borderline. In the other side of the scale we have the 1500+
#ifdef CONFIG_PM lines strewn around the kernel source, and the frequent !PM build
breakages.

In the meantime I've split it into a series of patches that should make it a
bit easier to diagnose problems, if there are any.  I'll post those patches
in replies to this message:

[1/5] - Deal with dependencies on CONFIG_PM in ACPI
[2/5] - Redefine CONFIG_PM as (CONFIG_PM_SLEEP || CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME)
[3/5] - Reorder options in kernel/power/Kconfig
[4/5] - Replace CONFIG_PM_OPS with CONFIG_PM
[5/5] - Clean up dependencies in kernel/power/Kconfig

The patch may _work_, but I really hate it. That function naming is insane:

acpi_pm_enabled() returns true if ACPI_SLEEP is _not_ enabled? That's
just crazy.

... followed by more crazy:

IOW, that function doesn't do anything _remotely_ like what the naming
indicates.

Any sane person would expect that a function called
'acpi_pm_enabled()' would return true if ACPI PM was enabled, and
false otherwise. But it's not what it does at all. Instead, what it
does is to say "if APM isn't enabled, let's enable ACPI and return
true". Except then for the non-ACPI sleep case, we just return true
regardless, which still looks damn odd, wouldn't you say?

That isn't good. Maybe it all does what you want it to do, but from a
code readability standpoint, it's just one honking big "WTF?". Please
don't do that. Call it something else. Make the naming actually follow
what the semantics are. Appropriate naming should also make it
sensible to return "true" when ACPI_SLEEP is disabled, and should make
the caller look sane.

Now, I don't know what that particular naming might be, but maybe it
would be about APM being enabled. Which is what the caller actually
seems to care about and talks about for the failure case. Maybe you
need separate functions for the "is APM enabled" case for the naming
to make sense. Hmm?

[PATCH 2/5] PM: Make CONFIG_PM depend on (CONFIG_PM_SLEEP || CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME)

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>

From the users' point of view CONFIG_PM is really only used for
making it possible to set CONFIG_SUSPEND, CONFIG_HIBERNATION,
CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME and (surprisingly enough) CONFIG_XEN_SAVE_RESTORE
(CONFIG_PM_OPP also depends on CONFIG_PM, but quite artificially).
However, both CONFIG_SUSPEND and CONFIG_HIBERNATION require platform
support (independent of CONFIG_PM) and it is not quite obvious that
CONFIG_PM has to be set for CONFIG_XEN_SAVE_RESTORE to be available.
Thus, from the users' point of view, it would be more logical to
automatically select CONFIG_PM if any of the above options depending
on it are set.

Make CONFIG_PM depend on (CONFIG_PM_SLEEP || CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME),
which will cause it to be selected when any of CONFIG_SUSPEND,
CONFIG_HIBERNATION, CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME, CONFIG_XEN_SAVE_RESTORE is
set and will clarify its meaning.

After redefining CONFIG_PM to depend on (CONFIG_PM_SLEEP ||
CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME) the CONFIG_PM_OPS option is redundant and can be
replaced with CONFIG_PM.

[PATCH 5/5] PM: Clean up Kconfig dependencies

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>

CONFIG_PM_SLEEP_ADVANCED_DEBUG should depend on CONFIG_PM_SLEEP
and CONFIG_CAN_PM_TRACE need not depend on EXPERIMENTAL.  Modify
kernel/power/Kconfig along those lines.

Ack on patches 2-5 in this series. It's just patch 1/5 that I think is
too ugly/odd to live.

It turns out that CONFIG_PM_SLEEP_ADVANCED_DEBUG is not used any more, so we
can simply get rid of it.

Thanks,

For 2.6.38-rc4, x86_64, CONFIG_NR_CPUS=4:

size vmlinux
   text     data       bss       dec      hex  filename

  41258     1904         0     43162                      delta


That is big enough for me to care.

Turning on CONFIG_PM also forces a few other options on:

Hrm, that's pretty surprising.  It'd be interesting to know how much of
that is due to the PM core itself and how much of that is from drivers.
For the drivers CONFIG_PM isn't really the option they should be using
in the first place - they mostly want some combination of PM_SLEEP and
PM_RUNTIME for the specific functionality.  I'm running some checks now.

>  > CONFIG_PM_SLEEP=y

Raphael's patch will make this a user visible option in place of raw
CONFIG_PM by default so you'd be able to turn that off.

OK, on ARM with slightly more than an allnoconfig (allnoconfig itself
wouldn't build) I see:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
1361476	  71360	 167320	1600156	 186a9c	vmlinux.nopm
1364228	  71520	 167480	1603228	 18769c	vmlinux

   2752     160     160    3072

so 3K from CONFIG_PM there, mostly from the ARM VIC management code
which I suspect really wants to be under one of the more specific PM
options, though obviously this comes back to the issue with bitrotted
ifdefs for PM whcih pervades the kernel.

Raphael's patch will turn on CONFIG_PM in the correct circumstances, and
leave it off when not needed by other config options.  That means that
the size overhead will _not_ be an issue for me because CONFIG_PM
will not be enabled when not needed.

That's not the issue you seemed to be raising, though.  While PM is now
turned on by PM_SLEEP that'll end up getting turned on by default due to
the dependency on SUSPEND - you appeared to be raising the concern that
this could happen and surprise users.

No, that is not my concern.  I was saying that Raphael's patches do
not trigger any concern from me.

My concern was that in your very first email that started this thread,
you wrote:

and my understanding of this proposal was a goal to remove the ability
to have CONFIG_PM disabled, which results in increased memory usage
for some configurations.

Not really, the goal was to simplify the PM config options to ones that
are actually useful and cut down on the number of silly combinations
that the randconfigs turn up.  CONFIG_PM is there mostly for historical
reasons, it doesn't really mean much by itself except as a gate to other
options.

This comes from the fact that the options exposed and the use of them
doesn't really reflect the kernel power management infrastructure any
more.  The PM options at Kconfig level are really SUSPEND, HIBERNATION
and PM_RUNTIME but for historical reasons the idoms are all based on the
root PM option.  This gets fiddly and confusing as you move over build
coverage.

I'm confused.  Do you plan to retain the option to
turn off PM features completely, or not?  I thought that's
what CONFIG_PM did today.

Raphael's patches do that in a much better way than my original patch,
my original patch would have force CONFIG_PM on but still allowed all
the PM features that it controls to be turned on and off individually.

Or to put it another way, if you enable any of CONFIG_PM_SUSPEND, 
CONFIG_PM_HIBERNATION, or CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME, then CONFIG_PM will 
automatically be turned on.  Otherwise it will automatically be turned 
off.

Plus everything controlled by the old CONFIG_PM_OPS is now controlled
directly by CONFIG_PM.

I'm one of those people who *really* wants to cut down the kernel size.
I've recently worked on a product where the kernel RAM budget is ~1M.

I care about 5K.  (But honestly, I don't actively hunt stuff less than
10K in size, because
there's too many of them to chase, currently).

Proof by assertion that it is used with vanishing rarity.

That is not a good method of getting feedback from users.

 1) It immediately removes the ability to have CONFIG_PM undefined,
    without first giving active users a chance to provide feedback.

 2) The removal of that ability is not obvious ("make oldconfig" does
    not say anything about CONFIG_PM).  It is easy to overlook a
    config change that happens silently.

 3) The active users may not move to a newer version of the kernel
    that contains this change until after it has been decided that
    there are no users of the config option since no one complained
    in a timely manner.

Would it be appropriate to use Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt
if this truly will be removed?

Sure, hopefully if it's incorrect people will come out of the woodwork
to correct me :)

Note that it's not a terribly difficult change to reverse; if someone
urgently does need to do so then I'd be surprised if they were able to
build a kernel but not cope with that change.

It will expose the sub-options which actually do stuff, though - it's
only the top level option for PM.

I guess, though I'm a bit pessimistic about anyone actually noticing.
With Raphael's version it's not such a big deal as CONFIG_PM is selected
by other options that previously depended on it instead of being enabled
all the time.

Ok, how much memory do we talk about here?

Lots of embedded systems are AC powered or powered from some powerful
source -- such as alternator in car. PM can be unwanted complexity
there.

Ot maybe they are running under realtime hypervisor...
