SLEEPGRAPH 8
NAME
sleepgraph - Suspend/Resume timing analysis
SYNOPSIS
sleepgraph [ OPTIONS ] [ COMMAND ]
DESCRIPTION
sleepgraph is designed to assist kernel and OS developers in optimizing their linux stack's suspend/resume time. Using a kernel image built with a few extra options enabled, the tool will execute a suspend and capture dmesg and ftrace data until resume is complete. This data is transformed into a device timeline and an optional callgraph to give a detailed view of which devices/subsystems are taking the most time in suspend/resume.

If no specific command is given, the default behavior is to initiate a suspend/resume.

Generates output files in subdirectory: suspend-yymmdd-HHMMSS html timeline : <hostname>_<mode>.html raw dmesg file : <hostname>_<mode>_dmesg.txt raw ftrace file : <hostname>_<mode>_ftrace.txt

OPTIONS

-h Print the help text.

-v Print the current tool version.

-verbose Print extra information during execution and analysis.

-config file Pull arguments and config options from a file.

-m mode Mode to initiate for suspend e.g. standby, freeze, mem (default: mem).

-o name Overrides the output subdirectory name when running a new test. Use {date}, {time}, {hostname} for current values. e.g. suspend-{hostname}-{date}-{time}

-rtcwake t | off Use rtcwake to autoresume after t seconds (default: 15). Set t to "off" to disable rtcwake and require a user keypress to resume.

-addlogs Add the dmesg and ftrace logs to the html output. They will be viewable by clicking buttons in the timeline.

-turbostat Use turbostat to execute the command in freeze mode (default: disabled). This will provide turbostat output in the log which will tell you which actual power modes were entered.

-result file Export a results table to a text file for parsing.

-sync Sync the filesystems before starting the test. This reduces the size of the sys_sync call which happens in the suspend_prepare phase.

-rs enable/disable During test, enable/disable runtime suspend for all devices. The test is delayed by 5 seconds to allow runtime suspend changes to occur. The settings are restored after the test is complete.

-display on/off/standby/suspend Switch the display to the requested mode for the test using the xset command. This helps maintain the consistency of test data for better comparison.

-skiphtml Run the test and capture the trace logs, but skip the timeline generation.

"advanced"

-gzip Gzip the trace and dmesg logs to save space. The tool can also read in gzipped logs for processing.

-cmd str Run the timeline over a custom suspend command, e.g. pm-suspend. By default the tool forces suspend via /sys/power/state so this allows testing over an OS's official suspend method. The output file will change to hostname_command.html and will autodetect which suspend mode was triggered.

-filter "d1,d2,..." Filter out all but these device callbacks. These strings can be device names or module names. e.g. 0000:00:02.0, ata5, i915, usb, etc.

-mindev t Discard all device callbacks shorter than t milliseconds (default: 0.0). This reduces the html file size as there can be many tiny callbacks which are barely visible. The value is a float: e.g. 0.001 represents 1 us.

-proc Add usermode process info into the timeline (default: disabled).

-dev Add kernel source calls and threads to the timeline (default: disabled).

-x2 Run two suspend/resumes back to back (default: disabled).

-x2delay t Include t ms delay between multiple test runs (default: 0 ms).

-predelay t Include t ms delay before 1st suspend (default: 0 ms).

-postdelay t Include t ms delay after last resume (default: 0 ms).

-multi n d Execute n consecutive tests at d seconds intervals. The outputs will be created in a new subdirectory with a summary page: suspend-xN-{date}-{time}.

"ftrace debug"

-f Use ftrace to create device callgraphs (default: disabled). This can produce very large outputs, i.e. 10MB - 100MB.

-ftop Use ftrace on the top level call: "suspend_devices_and_enter" only (default: disabled). This option implies -f and creates a single callgraph covering all of suspend/resume.

-maxdepth level limit the callgraph trace depth to level (default: 0=all). This is the best way to limit the output size when using callgraphs via -f.

-expandcg pre-expand the callgraph data in the html output (default: disabled)

-fadd file Add functions to be graphed in the timeline from a list in a text file

-mincg t Discard all callgraphs shorter than t milliseconds (default: 0.0). This reduces the html file size as there can be many tiny callgraphs which are barely visible in the timeline. The value is a float: e.g. 0.001 represents 1 us.

-cgfilter "func1,func2,..." Reduce callgraph output in the timeline by limiting it certain devices. The argument can be a single device name or a comma delimited list. (default: none)

-cgskip file Reduce callgraph timeline size by skipping over uninteresting functions in the trace, e.g. printk or console_unlock. The functions listed in this file will show up as empty leaves in the callgraph with only the start/end times displayed. cgskip.txt is used automatically if found in the path, so use "off" to disable completely (default: cgskip.txt)

-cgphase p Only show callgraph data for phase p (e.g. suspend_late).

-cgtest n In an x2 run, only show callgraph data for test n (e.g. 0 or 1).

-timeprec n Number of significant digits in timestamps (0:S, [3:ms], 6:us).

-bufsize N Set trace buffer size to N kilo-bytes (default: all of free memory up to 3GB)

COMMANDS

-summary indir Create a summary page of all tests in indir. Creates summary.html in the current folder. The output page is a table of tests with suspend and resume values sorted by suspend mode, host, and kernel. Includes test averages by mode and links to the test html files. Use -genhtml to include tests with missing html.

-modes List available suspend modes.

-status Test to see if the system is able to run this tool. Use this along with any options you intend to use to see if they will work.

-fpdt Print out the contents of the ACPI Firmware Performance Data Table.

-battery Print out battery status and current charge.

-wifi Print out wifi status and connection details.

-xon/-xoff/-xstandby/-xsuspend Test xset by attempting to switch the display to the given mode. This is the same command which will be issued by -display mode.

-xstat Get the current DPMS display mode.

-sysinfo Print out system info extracted from BIOS. Reads /dev/mem directly instead of going through dmidecode.

-devinfo Print out the pm settings of all devices which support runtime suspend.

-flist Print the list of ftrace functions currently being captured. Functions that are not available as symbols in the current kernel are shown in red. By default, the tool traces a list of important suspend/resume functions in order to better fill out the timeline. If the user has added their own with -fadd they will also be checked.

-flistall Print all ftrace functions capable of being captured. These are all the possible values you can add to trace via the -fadd argument.

"rebuild"

-ftrace file Create HTML output from an existing ftrace file.

-dmesg file Create HTML output from an existing dmesg file.
