Latency Tolerance Reporting (LTR) allows Endpoints and Switch Upstream Ports to report their latency requirements to upstream components. If ASPM L1 PM substates are enabled, the LTR information helps determine when a Link enters L1.2 [1]. Software must set the maximum latency values in the LTR Capability based on characteristics of the platform, then set LTR Mechanism Enable in the Device Control 2 register in the PCIe Capability. The device can then use LTR to report its latency tolerance. If the device reports a maximum latency value of zero, that means the device requires the highest possible performance and the ASPM L1.2 substate is effectively disabled. We put devices in D3 for suspend, and we assume their internal state is lost. On resume, previously we did not restore the LTR Capability, but we did restore the LTR Mechanism Enable bit, so devices would request the highest possible performance and ASPM L1.2 wouldn't be used.

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.
