    ARM: smp: flush L1 cache in cpu_die() · 51acdfd1
    Russell King authored
    Flush the L1 cache for the CPU which is going down in cpu_die() so
    that we don't end up with all platforms doing this.  This ensures
    that any cache lines we own are pushed out before the cache becomes
    inaccessible.
    
    We may end up subsequently creating some dirty cache lines - for
    example, with the complete() call, but this update must become
    visible to other CPUs before __cpu_die() can proceed.  Subsequent
    accesses from the platforms cpu_die() function should _not_ matter.
    
    Also place a mb() after the complete() call to ensure that this is
    visible to other CPUs.
