Author: marcel Date: Wed Oct 21 18:38:02 2009 New Revision: 198341 URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/198341Log: o Introduce vm_sync_icache() for making the I-cache coherent with the memory or D-cache, depending on the semantics of the platform. vm_sync_icache() is basically a wrapper around pmap_sync_icache(), that translates the vm_map_t argumument to pmap_t. o Introduce pmap_sync_icache() to all PMAP implementation. For powerpc it replaces the pmap_page_executable() function, added to solve the I-cache problem in uiomove_fromphys(). o In proc_rwmem() call vm_sync_icache() when writing to a page that has execute permissions. This assures that when breakpoints are written, the I-cache will be coherent and the process will actually hit the breakpoint. o This also fixes the Book-E PMAP implementation that was missing necessary locking while trying to deal with the I-cache coherency in pmap_enter() (read: mmu_booke_enter_locked). The key property of this change is that the I-cache is made coherent *after* writes have been done. Doing it in the PMAP layer when adding or changing a mapping means that the I-cache is made coherent *before* any writes happen. The difference is key when the I-cache prefetches.
mumble, yet another pmap function that lacks a man page:( /bz -- Bjoern A. Zeeb It will not break if you know what you are doing. _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
