Subject: [PATCH 0/3] PM: runtime: add new runtime metrics and summary
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 11:43:19 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110-pm-runtime-summary-v1-0-12ebf283db78@kernel.org> (raw)
Add a new set additional PM runtime metrics to improve power management
debugging and reporting (these metrics may be useful to userspace
utilities such as Powertop).
MOTIVATION:
The current implementation only measures the duration a device spends in
suspended or active mode, which is very limiting. We can't find out how
many times a device changed state or what its shortest suspend cycle
was (to detect a sort of power "thrashing" behaviour).
NEW FEATURES:
This series introduces the following new metrics:
- resume_count : number of successful transitions to active
- suspend_count: number of successful transitions to suspended
- last_suspended_time: duration of the most recent sleep cycle (ns)
- min_suspended_time / max_suspended_sleep: shortest and longest sleep
cycle durations to help detect power thrashing (ns)
By reading the debugfs file /sys/kernel/debug/pm_runtime_summary, you
get the following table describing the power stats of each device with
runtime PM enabled:
Device Status Resumes Suspends Active(ms) Suspend(ms) Last(ms) Min(ms) Max(ms)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0000:00:02.0 active 1 0 45688 0 0 0 0
0000:00:1f.0 active 1 0 45687 0 0 0 0
0000:00:1f.2 active 1 0 45686 0 0 0 0
0000:00:1f.3 suspended 1 1 1658 44028 0 0 0
00:03:0 active 15 14 19627 25899 42 5 14811
00:03:0.0 active 14 13 19626 25900 42 5 14811
TESTING:
Tested with an x86_64 defconfig kernel and QEMU.
AI ASSISTANCE:
Gemini was used to prepare this series.
