+ The data cache could lead to incorrect results because it doesn't know
+ about volatile variables, thus making it impossible to debug
+ functions which use memory mapped I/O devices.
+
+ set remotecache 0
+
+ In those cases.
+
+ In general the dcache speeds up performance, some speed improvement
+ comes from the actual caching mechanism, but the major gain is in
+ the reduction of the remote protocol overhead; instead of reading
+ or writing a large area of memory in 4 byte requests, the cache
+ bundles up the requests into 32 byte (actually LINE_SIZE) chunks.
+ Reducing the overhead to an eighth of what it was. This is very
+ obvious when displaying a large amount of data,
+
+ eg, x/200x 0
+
+ caching | no yes
+ ----------------------------
+ first time | 4 sec 2 sec improvement due to chunking
+ second time | 4 sec 0 sec improvement due to caching
+
+ The cache structure is unusual, we keep a number of cache blocks
+ (DCACHE_SIZE) and each one caches a LINE_SIZEed area of memory.
+ Within each line we remember the address of the line (always a
+ multiple of the LINE_SIZE) and a vector of bytes over the range.
+ There's another vector which contains the state of the bytes.
+
+ ENTRY_BAD means that the byte is just plain wrong, and has no
+ correspondence with anything else (as it would when the cache is
+ turned on, but nothing has been done to it.
+
+ ENTRY_DIRTY means that the byte has some data in it which should be
+ written out to the remote target one day, but contains correct
+ data. ENTRY_OK means that the data is the same in the cache as it
+ is in remote memory.
+
+
+ The ENTRY_DIRTY state is necessary because GDB likes to write large
+ lumps of memory in small bits. If the caching mechanism didn't
+ maintain the DIRTY information, then something like a two byte
+ write would mean that the entire cache line would have to be read,
+ the two bytes modified and then written out again. The alternative
+ would be to not read in the cache line in the first place, and just
+ write the two bytes directly into target memory. The trouble with
+ that is that it really nails performance, because of the remote
+ protocol overhead. This way, all those little writes are bundled
+ up into an entire cache line write in one go, without having to
+ read the cache line in the first place.
