As Peter Jeremy mentioned in <http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2005-December/020731.html>, the primary suspect (optimized copy/zero routines) would never happen except on a real 586 CPU, and is totally disabled anyway. See sys/i386/isa/npx.c line 424-437 (line numbers from rev 1.163, salt to taste): #ifdef I586_CPU_XXX if (cpu_class == CPUCLASS_586 && npx_ex16 && npx_exists && [...] The #ifdef will never match, and even if it did, the if() would never kick in unless the CPU was actually a 586. The #ifdef has been disabled since rev 1.95 (2001/04/13). (This isn't to say that there isn't something else hiding somewhere that I686_CPU doesn't enable that it should, but just nipping another round of the copy routine discussion in the bud...) -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
