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.
counters. These counters do not exist on all CPUs, but where they
do exist, can be used for counting events such as dcache misses that
would otherwise be difficult or impossible to instrument by code
inspection or hardware simulation.
pmc(9) is meant to be a general interface. Initially, the Intel XScale
counters are the only ones supported.
maps it with BTLB entries, to minimize the number of BTLB entries
needed.
Because the CPU type was often guessed incorrectly, the mapping of
HP board number to system name now includes information about the
expected CPU type.
be properly used by any misc. cloning device. While here, correct
a comment to indicate that "open" is the only entry point and that
everything else is handled with fileops.
