Systems using the MIPS Coherence Manager (CM) cannot support multi-core SMP with dcache aliasing. This is because CPU caches are VIPT, but interventions in CM-based systems provide only the physical address to remote caches. This means that interventions may behave incorrectly in the presence of an aliasing dcache, since the physical address used when handling an intervention may lead to operation on an aliased cache line rather than the correct line. Prevent us from running into this issue by refusing to boot secondary cores in systems where dcache aliasing may occur.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
