CVS commit: syssrc/sys/arch



Module Name:    syssrc
Committed By:   fredette
Date:           Sun Aug 11 22:29:09 UTC 2002

Modified Files:
        syssrc/sys/arch/hp700/hp700: genassym.cf
        syssrc/sys/arch/hp700/include: cpu.h
        syssrc/sys/arch/hppa/hppa: hpt.h pmap.c trap.S
        syssrc/sys/arch/hppa/include: pte.h

Log Message:
Significant pmap changes to no longer rely on the "U-bit" (TLB_UNCACHEABLE)
to deal with aliasing of regular memory pages, because many processors don't
support it.

Now, the pmap marks all mappings of a page that has any non-equivalent
aliasing and any writable mapping, and the fault handlers watch for this
and flush other mappings out of the TLB and cache before (re)entering a
conflicting mapping.

When a page has non-equivalent aliasing, only one writable mapping at
a time may be in the TLB and cache.  If no writable mapping is in the
TLB and cache, any number of read-only mappings may be.

The PA7100LC/PA7300LC fault handlers have not been converted yet.
