Changeset 9739:245243cf497d --------------------------- cpu: Limit the size of the decode cache The decode cache can in some cases grow really large, which can even prevent some systems from booting. This changeset adds a the ability to limit the size of the decode cache and randomly prune a fraction of the cache once it reaches its upper limit. The default behavior on most architectures is now to allow 4k pages in the cache and prune 50% once this limit is reached.
