PAL_CACHE_INFO
cache if the cache contents never get flushed to memory (for example an
instruction cache).
•
stride
–
Unsigned 8-bit integer denoting the binary log of the most effective stride
in bytes for flushing the cache.
•
store_latency
–
Unsigned 8-bit integer denoting the number of cycles after issue
until the value is written into the cache. If the cache cannot accept a store (like an
instruction cache) the value returned will be 256 (0xff).
•
load_latency
–
Unsigned 8-bit integer denoting the number of processor cycles after
issue until the value may be used if it is found in the cache.
•
store_hints
–
8-bit vector denoting hints implemented by the processor store
instruction. For instruction caches this bit vector will be zero indicating no store
hints are supported.
•
load_hints
–
8-bit vector denoting hints implemented by the processor load
instruction.
The
config_info_2
return value has the following structure:
•
cache_size
–
Unsigned 32-bit integer denoting the size of the cache in bytes.
•
alias_boundary
–
Unsigned 8-bit integer indicating the binary log of the minimum
number of bytes which must separate aliased addresses in order to obtain the
highest performance.
•
tag_ls_bit
–
Unsigned 8-bit integer denoting the least-significant address bit of the
tag.
•
tag_ms_bit
–
Unsigned 8-bit integer denoting the most-significant address bit of the
tag.
