- In general the dcache speeds up performance, some speed improvement
+ 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_INVALID 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_VALID 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.

+ bundles up the requests into LINE_SIZE chunks, reducing overhead
+ significantly. This is most useful when accessing a large amount
+ of data, such as when performing a backtrace.
+
+ The cache is a splay tree along with a linked list for replacement.
+ Each block caches a LINE_SIZE area of memory. Wtihin each line we remember
+ the address of the line (which must be a multiple of LINE_SIZE) and the
+ actual data block.
+
+ Lines are only allocated as needed, so DCACHE_SIZE really specifies the
+ *maximum* number of lines in the cache.
+
+ At present, the cache is write-through rather than writeback: as soon
+ as data is written to the cache, it is also immediately written to
+ the target. Therefore, cache lines are never "dirty". Whether a given
+ line is valid or not depends on where it is stored in the dcache_struct;
