Subject:   TLB miss handler for alpha running FreeBSD-4.0
Message-ID:  <199909170410.XAA11255@cs.rice.edu>

Hi,
	as I understand it, TLB misses on the alpha are handled by the 
software (as opposed to x86 where they are handled in hardware). Can someone
help me with the FreeBSD code. I'm trying to locate the kernel code that
implements the TLB handler. I'd appreciate if someone can tell me how the 
control is given to the software (i.e. what trap is generated), how the
handler is called and finally how does the control return back. Thanks,



- Mohit
