102 If you do not get any matches (or they appear to be false
103 positives), it is possible that the last PM event point
104 referred to a device created by a loadable kernel module. In
105 this case cat /sys/power/pm_trace_dev_match (see below) after
106 your system is started up and the kernel modules are loaded.

114Description:
115 The /sys/power/pm_trace_dev_match file contains the name of the
116 device associated with the last PM event point saved in the RTC
117 across reboots when pm_trace has been used. More precisely it
118 contains the list of current devices (including those
119 registered by loadable kernel modules since boot) which match
120 the device hash in the RTC at boot, with a newline after each
121 one.
122
123 The advantage of this file over the hash matches printed to the
124 kernel log (see /sys/power/pm_trace), is that it includes
125 devices created after boot by loadable kernel modules.
126
127 Due to the small hash size necessary to fit in the RTC, it is
128 possible that more than one device matches the hash, in which
129 case further investigation is required to determine which
130 device is causing the problem. Note that genuine RTC clock
131 values (such as when pm_trace has not been used), can still
132 match a device and output it's name here.

165Description:
166 The /sys/power/reserved_size file allows user space to control
167 the amount of memory reserved for allocations made by device
168 drivers during the "device freeze" stage of hibernation. It can
169 be written a string representing a non-negative integer that
170 will be used as the amount of memory to reserve for allocations
171 made by device drivers' "freeze" callbacks, in bytes.
