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