33 /* The data cache could lead to incorrect results because it doesn't
34 know about volatile variables, thus making it impossible to debug
35 functions which use memory mapped I/O devices. Set the nocache
36 memory region attribute in those cases.
37
38 In general the dcache speeds up performance. Some speed improvement
39 comes from the actual caching mechanism, but the major gain is in
40 the reduction of the remote protocol overhead; instead of reading
41 or writing a large area of memory in 4 byte requests, the cache
42 bundles up the requests into LINE_SIZE chunks, reducing overhead
43 significantly. This is most useful when accessing a large amount
44 of data, such as when performing a backtrace.
45
46 The cache is a splay tree along with a linked list for replacement.
47 Each block caches a LINE_SIZE area of memory. Within each line we
48 remember the address of the line (which must be a multiple of
49 LINE_SIZE) and the actual data block.
50
51 Lines are only allocated as needed, so DCACHE_SIZE really specifies the
52 *maximum* number of lines in the cache.
53
54 At present, the cache is write-through rather than writeback: as soon
55 as data is written to the cache, it is also immediately written to
56 the target. Therefore, cache lines are never "dirty". Whether a given
57 line is valid or not depends on where it is stored in the dcache_struct;
58 there is no per-block valid flag. */
59
60 /* NOTE: Interaction of dcache and memory region attributes
61
62 As there is no requirement that memory region attributes be aligned
63 to or be a multiple of the dcache page size, dcache_read_line() and
64 dcache_write_line() must break up the page by memory region. If a
65 chunk does not have the cache attribute set, an invalid memory type
66 is set, etc., then the chunk is skipped. Those chunks are handled
67 in target_xfer_memory() (or target_xfer_memory_partial()).
68
69 This doesn't occur very often. The most common occurance is when
70 the last bit of the .text segment and the first bit of the .data
71 segment fall within the same dcache page with a ro/cacheable memory
72 region defined for the .text segment and a rw/non-cacheable memory
73 region defined for the .data segment. */
