NetBSD 4.x was written at Microsoft Research by Alessandro Forin and Neil Pittman. Microsoft Corporation has donated full copyright to The NetBSD Foundation. Could you provide us the reference pointer to the eMIPS project? It's long time ago last I saw Mr. Forin name in CS research field.

Hmm, but `boot' variable ("3/rz2/netbsd -aN") is still kept and `enet' is cleared even after abort by haltbutton without powercycle. Anyway, NULL pointer dereference is a bad thing. The original code used to be ok for long time, at the age. Toru Nishimura / ALKYL Technology

map fixup code is necessary. I would emphasis here that whole VIPT issue lies in MI part of VM, which is unware of colour match scheme and makes VIPT alias by itself, not in VM MD part. Toru Nishimura / ALKYL Technology

more cache index is selected for given a physical address. Consider the reason why VIPT alias issue vanishes when PAGE_SIZE is increased. It would make the number of colour into one _by_matching_ low order bits (= colour selector field) of VPN and PFN. Toru Nishimura / ALKYL Technology

amming practice. This rule is clearly documented in _many_ CPU architecture documents with VIPT cache. - mmap(2) must refuse to map mixed colour VA. - dynamic linker should pay attention to map share library at "colour boundary." This ensure cache lines shared between processes
