英特尔架构手册说,当第一次对内存页进行写访问时,CPU 会设置页表条目的脏位。我对这个问题有疑问。
1. The 'dirty bit' in this context is used for guaranteeing the correctness of disk swapping in, out of memory pages. is this correct?
2. Is this automatically performed by the hardware? or is this an implementation of operating system?
3. If it is automatically performed by the hardware, is there any noteworthy difference compared to the usual memory updates which are performed by software instructions?
先感谢您。
