Dear Questions@FreeBSD.org,
Reading through the LINT config file on a dreary day, I ran into the
following:
#
# CPU_DISABLE_5X86_LSSER disables load store serialize (i.e. enables
# reorder). This option should not be used if you use memory mapped
# I/O device(s).
#
How do I identify any memory mapped I/O devices I may have in my system?
#
# CPU_FASTER_5X86_FPU enables faster FPU exception handler.
#
Why isn't this one set by the FAILSAFE option? Is this one processor
specific? I have an AMD K6-233, should I enable not it for some reason?
#
# CPU_WT_ALLOC enables write-through allocation.
#
What is write-through allocation? Will it slow down or speed up my
system?
Please CC me, as I am not on the list.
Enjoy,
Kees Jan
