@ljs @vbabka But based on the Korean age system and law I was old enough to drink, still don't know why she asked

@ljs @vbabka yup I tried to get wine on a flight around my 18th birthday, and the stewardess asked if I'm over 18. my birthday is August 6 and it was August 6 in South Korea and August 5 in the US, and the flight was on the Pacific Ocean ;) but I got the wine anyway

Designing VIPT caches where size/associativity <= PAGE_SIZE is a way to avoid the synonym problem, no?

It gets tricky when size/associativity > PAGE_SIZE and it seems both Intel and ARM have patents to deal with it

@ljs LOL yes but I have never thought this was weird; it has been like this for a long time.

The traditional Korean age system has been retired in South Korea, and now we use the international standard aging system.

I was 24 in the Korean age system, but now I'm legally 22 :P

@ljs yes this semester is finished and it's summer break!
(but still have 3 semesters left T.T)

btw I was supposed to do an internship at a cloud company this year but seems I am almost ditched so now looking for undergraduate research internships :P

@ljs @kernellogger @sj

or a prompt confirming if you really know what you're doing ;)

BTW what would be different if it were in /sys/kernel/mm?

started wondering where it's documented that x86 processors deal with the synonym problem, as they use VIPT data caches.

on ARMv8 processors there is an architectural guarantee that data caches acts as PIPT cache even if it's actually VIPT, so it's guaranteed not to suffer from D-cache aliasing.

I've been heard that there is a similar guarantee on x86 processors but haven't found any official references about it - errr, I guess it's time to read some part of the intel manual.

btw this is quite old but is very nice introduction:

LOL what
you mean /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches?

Ah, I added sj because IIRC he's planning implement an auto tuner for DAMON parameters - no one should be like "bpftune can tune everything and make more parameters"

it would have been horrible if i.e. active/inactive list balancing was implemented as a kernel parameter :P

@ljs @kernellogger @sj

That's a perspective I didn't have, and it makes sense. So, it's like performing CPR on this messed-up situation?

@kernellogger

@sj you might be interested in adapting DAMON parameters?
btw I wonder how broad range of parameters could be covered
