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.
