28 // Interface for updating the instruction cache. Whenever the VM modifies
29 // code, part of the processor instruction cache potentially has to be flushed.
30
31 // On the x86, this is a no-op -- the I-cache is guaranteed to be consistent
32 // after the next jump, and the VM never modifies instructions directly ahead
33 // of the instruction fetch path.
34
35 // [phh] It's not clear that the above comment is correct, because on an MP
36 // system where the dcaches are not snooped, only the thread doing the invalidate
37 // will see the update. Even in the snooped case, a memory fence would be
38 // necessary if stores weren't ordered. Fortunately, they are on all known
39 // x86 implementations.
