Because suspend-to-idle is always supported and on x86 it is the only way to suspend the system if S3 is not supported by the platform, the kernel attempts to enter low-power S0 idle in the suspend-to-idle flow regardless of whether or not the ACPI_FADT_LOW_POWER_S0 flag is set in the FADT. However, if that flag is not set, residency counters associated with low-power S0 idle may not count and the platform may refuse to put the EC into a low-power mode, for example. For this reason, print diagnostic messages when the platform should achieve significant energy savings in low-power S0 idle (because the ACPI_FADT_LOW_POWER_S0 flag is set in the FADT) and when suspend-to-idle becomes the default suspend method (because low-power S0 idle should be equally or more efficient than S3, if available).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
