ts.out

This is on the late 2020 9310 XPS edition, with the AX500 Wifi card.

s2idle enter / exit seem to work without any obvious problems.

However, S0ix residency is not achieved (if my undestanding is correct), making the power consumption at about 5% per hour (50% overnight).

Some debug traces:

# cat /sys/class/drm/card0/power/rc6_residency_ms

Feel free to ask for further information if needed !

Thanks !

I should also mention that the BIOS has been updated to the latest available version from DELL at this date (v2.0.0).
Comment 3 Stelian Pop 2021-02-22 11:39:12 UTC
/sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_dmc_info shows zero DC5 -> DC6 transitions, and the counter for DC3 -> DC5 transitions keeps incrementing even over suspend cycles (from my reading of the documentation "By design, DC5 value is reset after DC9 entry." it would mean DC9 is never entered.

I've booted with drm.debug=0xe and captured a new dmesg log over the suspend cycle. Just before going into suspend, I see:

i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm:intel_display_power_suspend_late [i915]] Enabling DC9
i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm:gen9_set_dc_state [i915]] Setting DC state from 00 to 08

I'm not sure how to interpret this DC5/DC9 discrepancy.

Logs attached.

It looks like it worked with a pre-2.0.0 BIOS: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/ath11k/2021-February/001092.html

Is there something I can do except waiting for Dell to release an updated BIOS ?

Comment 8 Wren Turkal 2021-03-07 04:43:18 UTC
I have a question. Does this happen on the XPS 13 without the AX500 card (the developer model) and the 2.0.0 bios?

FWIW, I have one of these laptops, and suspend is totally broken for me. It also appears to not reboot via software trigger (like by running `systemctl reboot`).

I am running the very tip of Linus' master branch right now.

Suspend was working on earlier kernels with an earlier bios verison. I am not sure if this is the bios or the OS. Do we happen to know if suspend is broken on the Windows OS that these laptops ship with? I have blown Windows away on my laptop, so I actually don't know.
Comment 9 Stelian Pop 2021-03-07 08:26:52 UTC
I kept W10 on my laptop ("just in case"), but I never use it.

If somebody knows how to check if S0ix residency is achieved under W10, I can easily test.
Comment 10 Stelian Pop 2021-03-07 17:03:42 UTC
I discovered the powercfg.exe /SleepStudy W10 tool, and the output (over about 2h of time the laptop being lid closed) seems to show that Sleep works well.

I am experiencing a similar issue: ~2.5 W drain when suspended.
Also late 2020 XPS 9310 with 2.0 BIOS on 5.11.7-051107 kernel.

With or without powertop --auto-tune I get zero low power residency before and after suspend:

Comment 13 Stelian Pop 2021-04-08 21:27:19 UTC
Some news: I have updated tonight to BIOS v2.1.1, and seen no change in behaviour: S0ix is still broken here.

FWIW, I'm running 5.11.12 at the moment.
Comment 14 Stelian Pop 2021-04-23 19:27:39 UTC
Updated again to BIOS v2.2.0, Linux v5.11.16.

Still no change :(
Comment 15 EP 2021-04-27 01:25:34 UTC
I'm on 5.12.0-051200-generic, with v2.2.0 BIOS.

Still zero low power residency before and after suspend:
# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle/low_power_idle_system_residency_us 
0
# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle/low_power_idle_cpu_residency_us
0
A more accurate estimate of the power drain during suspend is 1.6W.

On the bright side, my sound card is now recognized out of the box.
Comment 16 wendy.wang 2021-05-25 06:48:00 UTC
Hi,
Are you still see PC3 only by "cat /sys/kernel/debug/pmc_core/package_cstate_show"?

In order to get S0ix, the first step is to enter PC10. Looks like your gfx driver and DMC FW is loaded.
Can you please double check if your audio driver is loaded correctly? 
try "lspci -vvv" output.

Also suggest check PCI device D3 status:
Below are the commands:
echo -n "file pci-driver.c +p" > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control
echo N > /sys/module/printk/parameters/console_suspend
echo 1 > /sys/power/pm_debug_message
turbostat -o tc.out rtcwake -m freeze -s 60
after resume back, check turbostat log: tc.log and dmesg log: dmesg | grep "PCI PM"
Comment 17 wendy.wang 2021-05-25 06:50:29 UTC
For the audio driver,
Currently you are running snd_hda_intel, which is a legacy driver.

Can have a try with SOF driver:
In etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
Add one line:
options snd-intel-dspcfg dsp_driver=3

Then reboot and double check the PC10 status.
Comment 18 Stelian Pop 2021-05-25 08:57:07 UTC
I have modified the sound config, and confirmed it used the correct driver:

0000:00:1f.3 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound Technology Audio Controller (rev 20)
	Subsystem: Dell Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound Technology Audio Controller

Still no luck:

I have activated the PCI PM debug messages, find the results below. If the (slightly edited) dmesg there are severals suspend attempts, at first my USB-C switch was connected (with ethernet, HDMI, power), the last attempt is with the switch disconnected.

Thanks for the log,
From dmesg, ISH is in D0, did not enter D3, would you mind trying to disable ISH from BIOS, recheck the Package C-state?

Comment 22 Stelian Pop 2021-05-25 20:43:54 UTC
Hi,

That ISH device seems to be an ALS.

I looked all over the BIOS, there is nothing obviously related to a light sensor. I tried disabling other things like keyboard illumination etc, to no avail.

So what next ?
Comment 23 wendy.wang 2021-05-26 03:15:52 UTC
Hi,

I compared your PCI log with mine, I realized that ish is not the problem(I did not realize it before, sorry for that), but your PCIe root ports D3hot should be the issue.

[ 1098.929935] pcieport 10000:e0:06.0: PCI PM: Suspend power state: D3hot

[ 1098.966050] pcieport 0000:00:1d.0: PCI PM: Suspend power state: D3hot

Meanwhile I notice your system enabled VMD device, can you please show your PCI output with command: lspci -tvv

Please double check if you can disable VMD from BIOS to see any deeper Package C-state?
For S0ix, currently mainline kernel VMD Linux driver has issue to put NVMe PCIe root port into D3cold, which is working in progress.
Comment 24 Stelian Pop 2021-05-26 10:01:27 UTC
Many thanks, changing in the BIOS the disk driver from RAID to AHCI did the job.

It seems to work perfectly now, even with my external HDMI/ethernet/USB switch attached.

I'll attach below the new turbostat output and dmesg (first suspend is without any external devices connected, second one is with the external USB-C switch attached).

Hi,
I'm glad to hear you finally get s0ix working on your machine.
Checked your Working dmesg output, it shows below: NVMe and its PCIe root port are in D0 but S0ix works? I'm a little confused.

Comment 28 Stelian Pop 2021-05-26 15:42:27 UTC
Turbostat output says CPU%LPI SYS%LPI are at 95% or so, so I think S0ix works.

Maybe the power consumption isn't great is some devices are left in D0, I don't know.

I'll leave the laptop overnight in suspend, and see the battery percentage tomorrow morning.
Comment 29 wendy.wang 2021-05-27 02:17:57 UTC
Talked to our kernel developer, NVMe D0 should be expected for Kabylake to enter S0ix. Something else on the board blocks the S0ix.
Our engineer will try to reproduce the problem first, then update here.

Please ignore this message.

Learned from our kernel developer, NVMe D0 is expected in AHCI mode for Dell XPS 13 9310(Ice lake) to enter S0ix.
We can close this bug since S0ix is achieved and residency is high.
If you are interested in the VMD mode status, here is the bugzilla link to track the VMD driver update: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=213047
Comment 31 Stelian Pop 2021-05-27 07:12:52 UTC
For the record, overnight (10 hours span) the battery went down from 98% to 93%, so s2idle S0ix power saving definitely works (before switching from RAID to AHCI my laptop barely survived overnight).

I still haven't been able to make opportunistic S0ix work (achieve S0ix residency during normal usage), so it's not perfect yet.
Comment 32 Godmar Back 2023-01-07 18:45:35 UTC
On my 2022 Dell Latitude 9520 with BIOS 0.17.1 the same problem occurs when running Linux 6.1.1 (built via Ubuntu mainline). 

It appears that the method of changing the "Storage" setting in the BIOS from "RAID" (VDM) to "AHCI" also fixes the issue of the machine not entering S0ix state.

My new laptop is finally usable.
Comment 33 Leho Kraav 2024-05-09 19:17:06 UTC
One year later, how are y'all doing on your XPS S0ix ability?

Still broken on the 9315 for me.
