Over time, many features have been introduced into the Linux kernel to tackle various Power Management related needs. Most features rely upon the device model to provide its features, making each feature in isolation have rather understandable behavior and straight forward APIs. Complexity can creep in however when those various features interact with each other. We'll therefore cover features in isolation: system-wide suspend, hibernation, runtime power management, power domains, Quality of Service, etc. On each new step added, we'll stop to reflect on potential interactions or conflicts with previously seen features. Some of those will come from concrete issues encountered during the upstreaming effort of Suspend-to-RAM support on an automative SoC, the TI J7200 platform.
