Hello,

I?m looking for a detailed document, including code sample, about
Cache Locking (locking instruction cache & data cache) on Intel
Pentium 4.

It should be similar to the documents I found below, which are for
XScale micro-architecture and CPU 80321.

http://www.intel.com/design/iio/papers/27387202.pdf
(look into section 4.5 and appendix C)

http://www.intel.com/design/intelxscale/27347302.pdf
(look into section 4.3.4 and 6.4)

I need it urgently. Please help.
Thank you.

I don't think Pentium processors support cache locking. The Software
Developer's Manual published by Intel certainly makes no mention of
cache locking anywhere among its three volumes.
