Change the behavior of the newly introduced
/sys/power/pm_print_times attribute so that its initial value
depends on initcall_debug, but setting it to 0 will cause device
suspend/resume times not to be printed, even if initcall_debug has
been set.  This way, the people who use initcall_debug for reasons
other than PM debugging will be able to switch the suspend/resume
times printing off, if need be.

Android uses one wakelock statistics that is only necessary for
opportunistic sleep.  Namely, the prevent_suspend_time field
accumulates the total time the given wakelock has been locked
while "automatic suspend" was enabled.  Add an analogous field,
prevent_sleep_time, to wakeup sources and make it behave in a similar
way.

Introduce a mechanism by which the kernel can trigger global
transitions to a sleep state chosen by user space if there are no
active wakeup sources.

It consists of a new sysfs attribute, /sys/power/autosleep, that
can be written one of the strings returned by reads from
/sys/power/state, an ordered workqueue and a work item carrying out
the "suspend" operations.  If a string representing the system's
sleep state is written to /sys/power/autosleep, the work item
triggering transitions to that state is queued up and it requeues
itself after every execution until user space writes "off" to
/sys/power/autosleep.

That work item enables the detection of wakeup events using the
functions already defined in drivers/base/power/wakeup.c (with one
small modification) and calls either pm_suspend(), or hibernate() to
put the system into a sleep state.  If a wakeup event is reported
while the transition is in progress, it will abort the transition and
the "system suspend" work item will be queued up again.

<title>PM / Sleep: Introduce "late suspend" and "early resume" of devices</title>

<content type='text'>
The current device suspend/resume phases during system-wide power
transitions appear to be insufficient for some platforms that want
to use the same callback routines for saving device states and
related operations during runtime suspend/resume as well as during
system suspend/resume.  In principle, they could point their
.suspend_noirq() and .resume_noirq() to the same callback routines
as their .runtime_suspend() and .runtime_resume(), respectively,
but at least some of them require device interrupts to be enabled
while the code in those routines is running.

It also makes sense to have device suspend-resume callbacks that will
be executed with runtime PM disabled and with device interrupts
enabled in case someone needs to run some special code in that
context during system-wide power transitions.

Apart from this, .suspend_noirq() and .resume_noirq() were introduced
as a workaround for drivers using shared interrupts and failing to
prevent their interrupt handlers from accessing suspended hardware.
It appears to be better not to use them for other porposes, or we may
have to deal with some serious confusion (which seems to be happening
already).

For the above reasons, introduce new device suspend/resume phases,
"late suspend" and "early resume" (and analogously for hibernation)
whose callback will be executed with runtime PM disabled and with
device interrupts enabled and whose callback pointers generally may
point to runtime suspend/resume routines.

<title>PM / Hibernate: Rewrite unlock_system_sleep() to fix s2disk regression</title>

Commit 33e638b, "PM / Sleep: Use the freezer_count() functions in
[un]lock_system_sleep() APIs" introduced an undesirable change in the
behaviour of unlock_system_sleep() since freezer_count() internally calls
try_to_freeze() - which we don't need in unlock_system_sleep().

And commit bcda53f, "PM / Sleep: Replace mutex_[un]lock(&amp;pm_mutex) with
[un]lock_system_sleep()" made these APIs wide-spread. This caused a
regression in suspend-to-disk where snapshot_read() and snapshot_write()
were getting frozen due to the try_to_freeze embedded in
unlock_system_sleep(), since these functions were invoked when the freezing
condition was still in effect.

Fix this by rewriting unlock_system_sleep() by open-coding freezer_count()
and dropping the try_to_freeze() part. Not only will this fix the
regression but this will also ensure that the API only does what it is
intended to do, and nothing more, under the hood.

While at it, make the code more correct and robust by ensuring that the
PF_FREEZER_SKIP flag gets cleared with pm_mutex held, to avoid a race with
the freezer.

Also, to be on the safer side, open-code freezer_do_not_count() as well
(inside lock_system_sleep()), to ensure that any unrelated modification to
freezer[_do_not]_count() does not break things again!

The [un]lock_system_sleep() APIs were originally introduced to mutually
exclude memory hotplug and hibernation.

Directly using mutex_lock(&amp;pm_mutex) to achieve mutual exclusion with
suspend or hibernation code can lead to freezing failures. However, the
APIs [un]lock_system_sleep() can be safely used to achieve the same,
without causing freezing failures.

So, since it would be beneficial to modify all the existing users of
mutex_lock(&amp;pm_mutex) (in all parts of the kernel), so that they use these
safe APIs intead, make these APIs generic by removing the restriction that
they work only when CONFIG_HIBERNATE_CALLBACKS is set. Moreover, that
restriction didn't buy us anything anyway.

<title>PM / Memory-hotplug: Avoid task freezing failures</title>

<id>6a76b7a9cc93dec6ae58d70f1257d234291908e0</id>
<content type='text'>
The lock_system_sleep() function is used in the memory hotplug code at
several places in order to implement mutual exclusion with hibernation.
However, this function tries to acquire the 'pm_mutex' lock using
mutex_lock() and hence blocks in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state if it doesn't
get the lock. This would lead to task freezing failures and hence
hibernation failure as a consequence, even though the hibernation call path
successfully acquired the lock.

But it is to be noted that, since this task tries to acquire pm_mutex, if it
blocks due to this, we are *100% sure* that this task is not going to run
as long as hibernation sequence is in progress, since hibernation releases
'pm_mutex' only at the very end, when everything is done.
And this means, this task is going to be anyway blocked for much more longer
than what the freezer intends to achieve; which means, freezing and thawing
doesn't really make any difference to this task!

So, to fix freezing failures, we just ask the freezer to skip freezing this
task, since it is already "frozen enough".

But instead of calling freezer_do_not_count() and freezer_count() as it is,
we use only the relevant parts of those functions, because restrictions
such as 'the task should be a userspace one' etc., might not be relevant in
this scenario.

The lock_system_sleep() function is used in the memory hotplug code at
several places in order to implement mutual exclusion with hibernation.
However, this function tries to acquire the 'pm_mutex' lock using
mutex_lock() and hence blocks in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state if it doesn't
get the lock. This would lead to task freezing failures and hence
hibernation failure as a consequence, even though the hibernation call path
successfully acquired the lock.

But it is to be noted that, since this task tries to acquire pm_mutex, if it
blocks due to this, we are *100% sure* that this task is not going to run
as long as hibernation sequence is in progress, since hibernation releases
'pm_mutex' only at the very end, when everything is done.
And this means, this task is going to be anyway blocked for much more longer
than what the freezer intends to achieve; which means, freezing and thawing
doesn't really make any difference to this task!

So, to fix freezing failures, we just ask the freezer to skip freezing this
task, since it is already "frozen enough".

But instead of calling freezer_do_not_count() and freezer_count() as it is,
we use only the relevant parts of those functions, because restrictions
such as 'the task should be a userspace one' etc., might not be relevant in
this scenario.
