Subject: [PATCH] Pentium IV cacheline size.
Date: Sat, 13 Oct 2001 12:57:33 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20011013125733.A10917@suse.de> (raw)
Currently, we're using a L1_CACHE_SHIFT value of 7
for Pentium 4, which equates to 128 byte cache lines.
Curious, I dumped the info on the only P4 I could find,
and noticed they were 64 byte.
Upon checking the documentation, they're 64 byte there too.
Is this just a thinko on someones part, or was there a
rationale behind this that I've not realised ?
If it is wrong, patch below sets it back to 64 bytes.
regards,
Dave.
