9 | This option determines the caching mode for the kernel. | ||
10 | |||
11 | Write-Back caching mode involves the all reads and writes causing | ||
12 | the affected cacheline to be read into the cache first before being | ||
13 | operated upon. Memory is not then updated by a write until the cache | ||
14 | is filled and a cacheline needs to be displaced from the cache to | ||
15 | make room. Only at that point is it written back. | ||
16 | |||
17 | Write-Through caching only fetches cachelines from memory on a | ||
18 | read. Writes always get written directly to memory. If the affected | ||
19 | cacheline is also in cache, it will be updated too. | ||
20 | |||
21 | The final option is to turn of caching entirely. | ||
