How does sleep really work in the Android kernel?
I’ve been wondering about this for a while, but couldn’t find anything about it. What exactly happens after the screen turns off? Does the kernel actually suspend and halt the CPU? If so, how are notifications received while sleeping? Is there a coprocessor involved?
I’m curious. It would be great if someone could point me towards some articles or videos about this.

Earlier I’ve read that it only keeps a single CPU core as active, at least for most of the time sleeping. But take this with a grain of salt, it was long ago so I may misremembered it, and also it might have changed a lot since then, but afaik this was a technique they once used (and may still do)
