Whenever the VM modifies // code, part of the processor instruction cache potentially has to be flushed. // On the x86, this is a no-op -- the I-cache is guaranteed to be consistent // after the next jump, and the VM never modifies instructions directly ahead // of the instruction fetch path. // [phh] It's not clear that the above comment is correct, because on an MP // system where the dcaches are not snooped, only the thread doing the invalidate // will see the update. Even in the snooped case, a memory fence would be // necessary if stores weren't ordered.
