The errata reads:
"There is an anomaly in the SA-110 device that may occur during DATA_ABORT
in environments that use demand-paging management schemes. This problem
has been seen only in demand-page memory-management operating systems when
a memory access crosses a page boundary from a mapped page to an unmapped
page during the sequence of data fetches."
It goes on to list some RTOSs that, since they do not use demand paging,
are not susceptible to the problem.
I heard that via a 3id party that and Intel rep. said Linux was not susceptible
to this problem. If true I'd like to know why.
Any know the real answer ?
thanks.
