PM / sleep: add configurable delay for pm_test
When CONFIG_PM_DEBUG=y, we provide a sysfs file (/sys/power/pm_test) for selecting one of a few suspend test modes, where rather than entering a full suspend state, the kernel will perform some subset of suspend steps, wait 5 seconds, and then resume back to normal operation. This mode is useful for (among other things) observing the state of the system just before entering a sleep mode, for debugging or analysis purposes. However, a constant 5 second wait is not sufficient for some sorts of analysis; for example, on an SoC, one might want to use external tools to probe the power states of various on-chip controllers or clocks. This patch turns this 5 second delay into a configurable module parameter, so users can determine how long to wait in this pseudo-suspend state before resuming the system. Example (wait 30 seconds); # echo 30 > /sys/module/suspend/parameters/pm_test_delay # echo core > /sys/power/pm_test # time echo mem > /sys/power/state ...
