*ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power
|
|
Interface) is an open industry specification
|
|
establishing industry-standard interfaces for
|
|
OS-directed configuration and power management
|
|
on laptops, desktops, and servers.
|
|
|
|
ACPI enables new power management technology
|
|
to evolve independently in operating systems
|
|
and hardware while ensuring that they continue
|
|
to work together.
|
|
|
|
This paper begins with a brief overview
|
|
of ACPI features, a description of the
|
|
Linux/ACPI implementation, and the state of
|
|
Linux/ACPI deployment.
|
|
|
|
Detailed discussion of key technical areas
|
|
follows, highlighting recent progress in Linux
|
|
as well as current and future challenges. The
|
|
focus areas this year include plug-and-play
|
|
configuration; processor power management;
|
|
CPU, IO and memory hot-plug; laptop hot-keys;
|
|
video control and suspend/resume. In addition,
|
|
the ACPI 3.0 specification was published after
|
|
OLS last year, so we're now able to discuss
|
|
Linux's response to {ACPI 3.0} in some detail.
