I once noticed that our pmap miss some calls to alpha_pal_imb(). I did
suspect it may cause problems like the ones you see. Unfortunately, I
did almost nothing to fix that, but still have plans :-(. At that time,
I made this change to pmap.c (cut & pasted)
@@ -2176,6 +2183,8 @@
*pte = newpte;
if (origpte)
pmap_invalidate_page(pmap, va);
+ if (prot & VM_PROT_EXECUTE)
+ alpha_pal_imb();
}
}
and probably didn't see such gremlins since that, but it may be
coincidence. (I got a feeling that the weird things I seen in a
nightmare, not in reality...)
(I suspect a little it may be 164sx specific.)
