[PATCH] swsusp: debugging
Add a swsusp debugging mode. This does everything that's needed for a suspend
except for actually suspending. So we can look in the log messages and work
out a) what code is being slow and b) which drivers are misbehaving.
(1)
# echo testproc > /sys/power/disk
# echo disk > /sys/power/state
This should turn off the non-boot CPU, freeze all processes, wait for 5
seconds and then thaw the processes and the CPU.
(2)
# echo test > /sys/power/disk
# echo disk > /sys/power/state
This should turn off the non-boot CPU, freeze all processes, shrink
memory, suspend all devices, wait for 5 seconds, resume the devices etc.
