  30 /* The data cache could lead to incorrect results because it doesn't
  31    know about volatile variables, thus making it impossible to debug
  32    functions which use memory mapped I/O devices.  Set the nocache
  33    memory region attribute in those cases.
  34
  35    In general the dcache speeds up performance.  Some speed improvement
  36    comes from the actual caching mechanism, but the major gain is in
  37    the reduction of the remote protocol overhead; instead of reading
  38    or writing a large area of memory in 4 byte requests, the cache
  39    bundles up the requests into LINE_SIZE chunks, reducing overhead
  40    significantly.  This is most useful when accessing a large amount
  41    of data, such as when performing a backtrace.
  42
  43    The cache is a splay tree along with a linked list for replacement.
  44    Each block caches a LINE_SIZE area of memory.  Within each line we
  45    remember the address of the line (which must be a multiple of
  46    LINE_SIZE) and the actual data block.
  47
  48    Lines are only allocated as needed, so DCACHE_SIZE really specifies the
  49    *maximum* number of lines in the cache.
  50
  51    At present, the cache is write-through rather than writeback: as soon
  52    as data is written to the cache, it is also immediately written to
  53    the target.  Therefore, cache lines are never "dirty".  Whether a given
  54    line is valid or not depends on where it is stored in the dcache_struct;
  55    there is no per-block valid flag.  */
  56
  57 /* NOTE: Interaction of dcache and memory region attributes
  58
  59    As there is no requirement that memory region attributes be aligned
  60    to or be a multiple of the dcache page size, dcache_read_line() and
  61    dcache_write_line() must break up the page by memory region.  If a
  62    chunk does not have the cache attribute set, an invalid memory type
  63    is set, etc., then the chunk is skipped.  Those chunks are handled
  64    in target_xfer_memory() (or target_xfer_memory_partial()).
  65
  66    This doesn't occur very often.  The most common occurance is when
  67    the last bit of the .text segment and the first bit of the .data
  68    segment fall within the same dcache page with a ro/cacheable memory
  69    region defined for the .text segment and a rw/non-cacheable memory
  70    region defined for the .data segment.  */
