PM: hibernate: Allow ACPI hardware signature to be honoured
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Theoretically, when the hardware signature in FACS changes, the OS
is supposed to gracefully decline to attempt to resume from S4:

 "If the signature has changed, OSPM will not restore the system
  context and can boot from scratch"

In practice, Windows doesn't do this and many laptop vendors do allow
the signature to change especially when docking/undocking, so it would
be a bad idea to simply comply with the specification by default in the
general case.

However, there are use cases where we do want the compliant behaviour
and we know it's safe. Specifically, when resuming virtual machines where
we know the hypervisor has changed sufficiently that resume will fail.
We really want to be able to *tell* the guest kernel not to try, so it
boots cleanly and doesn't just crash. This patch provides a way to opt
in to the spec-compliant behaviour on the command line.

A follow-up patch may do this automatically for certain "known good"
machines based on a DMI match, or perhaps just for all hypervisor
guests since there's no good reason a hypervisor would change the
hardware_signature that it exposes to guests *unless* it wants them
to obey the ACPI specification.

s3_bios and s3_mode.
s3_beep is for debugging; it makes the PC's speaker beep
as soon as the kernel's real-mode entry point is called.
s4_hwsig causes the kernel to check the ACPI hardware
signature during resume from hibernation, and gracefully
refuse to resume if it has changed. This complies with
the ACPI specification but not with reality, since
Windows does not do this and many laptops do change it
on docking. So the default behaviour is to allow resume
and simply warn when the signature changes, unless the
s4_hwsig option is enabled.
s4_nohwsig prevents ACPI hardware signature from being
used during resume from hibernation.

old_ordering causes the ACPI 1.0 ordering of the _PTS
control method, with respect to putting devices into
low power states, to be enforced (the ACPI 2.0 ordering
