<p>Need to get the DTrace provider working. This is the epicenter of DTrace
and it is the first step to making the rest of it work from the kernel side
of things. Userland stuff is 98% done. The other 2% will be addressed later
when some kernel dependencies are satisfied.</p>
<p>DTrace is a dynamic tracing facility designed by Sun Microsystems and
released in Solaris 10. They have since released the major part of
Solaris under the banner of OpenSolaris and the Common Development and
Distribution License (CDDL) 1.0.</p>

<h2>Cache detection support for sparc64</h2>

<p><strong>Mailing list</strong>: <a
href="mailto:freebsd-sparc64@FreeBSD.org">freebsd-sparc64@FreeBSD.org</a></p>
<p>The current page coloring algorithm in the VM does auto tuning of the
number of colors based upon cache size and associativity. On sparc64
the corresponding variables are not set. The goal of this entry is to
detect the cache size and associativity (this information may already
be available, or at least not much code has to be written) and set the
corresponding variables.</p>
<p><strong>Requirements</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Knowledge of C.</li>
<li>A sparc64 system to test/debug with.</li>
