>Description:
As far as I can tell there's no way for userland code to sync
instruction cache, which is necessary for self-modifying code.
Cf. ARM's ARM_SYNC_ICACHE sysarch(2) syscall and its arm_sync_icache()
wrapper.
NetBSD/sh3 currently doesn't provide any architecture-dependent system
calls.
>How-To-Repeat:
Stumbled into this when testing a forth I wrote with the Forth 2012 test suite that prods the system just right to make icache problem apparent.
