Well, short answer is no. On SMP we do need to save CPU registers
but if just one single cpu is shutdown L2 is still on.
cpu_suspend saves regs on the stack that has to be cleaned from
L2 before shutting a CPU down which make things more complicated than
they should.
Hang on. Please explain something to me here. You've mentioned a few
times that cpu_suspend() can't be used because of the L2 cache. Why
is this the case?
OMAP appears to have code in its sleep path - which has been converted
to cpu_suspend() support - to deal with the L2 issues.
OMAP is very different, because it doesn't use cpu_suspend. It saves
it's state to SAR ram, which is mapped uncached, which avoids L2
problems.
I'm afraid your information is out of date. See:
I think the confusion is OMAP3 and OMAP4. Colin was talking about OMAP4
which isn't merged in mainline yet where as you were referring OMAP3
clean-ups happened recently.
