/* 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 the nocache
|
|
memory region attribute 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.
|
|
*/
|
|
|
|
/* NOTE: Interaction of dcache and memory region attributes
|
|
|
|
As there is no requirement that memory region attributes be aligned
|
|
to or be a multiple of the dcache page size, dcache_read_line() and
|
|
dcache_write_line() must break up the page by memory region. If a
|
|
chunk does not have the cache attribute set, an invalid memory type
|
|
is set, etc., then the chunk is skipped. Those chunks are handled
|
|
in target_xfer_memory() (or target_xfer_memory_partial()).
|
|
|
|
This doesn't occur very often. The most common occurance is when
|
|
the last bit of the .text segment and the first bit of the .data
|
|
segment fall within the same dcache page with a ro/cacheable memory
|
|
region defined for the .text segment and a rw/non-cacheable memory
|
|
region defined for the .data segment. */
