H A D | pmap.c | diff 100771 Sat Jul 27 19:57:38 MDT 2002 jake Implement a direct mapped address region, like alpha and ia64. This basically maps all of physical memory 1:1 to a range of virtual addresses outside of normal kva. The advantage of doing this instead of accessing phsyical addresses directly is that memory accesses will go through the data cache, and will participate in the normal cache coherency algorithm for invalidating lines in our own and in other cpus' data caches. So we don't have to flush the cache manually or send IPIs to do so on other cpus. Also, since the mappings never change, we don't have to flush them from the tlb manually. This makes pmap_copy_page and pmap_zero_page MP safe, allowing the idle zero proc to run outside of giant. Inspired by: ia64 |
