3477 5747 d 11 h rimsky /branches/sparc/kernel/arch/sparc64/ comments  
3467 5750 d 9 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ SMP and CPU initialiation modified to work even with Serengeti OFW tree layout; support for output to the Simics CLI console added (see my blog); some header files modified to conform US-III definition. Now HelenOS (on the sample configuration - usiii.simics) is able to run some userspace tasks.  
3450 5754 d 9 h rimsky /branches/sparc/kernel/arch/sparc64/ Made tlb.h conform US-III specification.  
3440 5755 d 18 h rimsky /branches/sparc/kernel/arch/sparc64/ TLB modifications in order to make functions tlb_print and tlb_invalidate_all work correctly in US-III.  
3397 5760 d 17 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ Merged recent changes from trunk into the Sparc branch.  
3343 5784 d 13 h decky /branches/sparc/ add sparc branch  
3233 5807 d 15 h decky /trunk/ remove dummy page coloring facility, which is currenty not used  
3145 5849 d 22 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ On sparc64, when the operand to the FLUSH instruction doesn't matter, the
instruction's semantics is to flush the pipeline.
 
3134 5850 d 20 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/ Add smc_coherence_block().  
3133 5851 d 10 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/ Add smc_coherence() macro to all architectures.
So far, only amd64, ia32, ia64 and sparc64 are implemented.
 
3104 5858 d 23 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/ Declare arguments for memstr.h operations as pointers instead of uintptr_t.  
3071 5861 d 15 h decky /trunk/kernel/ reflect changes in generic code
proper formatting directives
coding style
 
3070 5861 d 15 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ introduce portable formatting directives
remove common types
 
2860 5910 d 10 h cejka /trunk/ Context handling unified for sparc64.  
2797 5922 d 10 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Each architecture should only announce its endianity.
The conversion macros should be defined only once.
 
2794 5923 d 10 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Add macros for byte swapping of uint16_t's.  
2725 5979 d 16 h decky /trunk/kernel/ remove config.memory_size, get_memory_size() and memory_init.{c|d}
the amount of available memory can be calculated from the sizes of the zones
add FRAMES2SIZE, SIZE2KB and SIZE2MB functions/macros (code readability)
 
2721 5980 d 16 h decky /trunk/kernel/ convert e820list to a generic physmem command  
2610 6061 d 14 h jermar /trunk/ Support for six syscall arguments for sparc64.
There is a minor stability issue which needs to be fixed (kernel panics upon entering kconsole from the
console task).
 
2510 6133 d 10 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Experimental support for the cgsix framebuffer, which is found on old Ultra 1
worksations, and the SBUS bus and devices. Not tested.
 
2272 6272 d 12 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Indentation and formatting fixes.  
2231 6282 d 14 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/ Fix a nasty bug in the TLB miss handlers on sparc64.
After we no longer lock the kernel stack in the DTLB,
there is a real danger of nested DTLB misses. The nested
miss can very easily clobber the DTLB Tag Access register.
Therefore, the original miss may not read this register, but
it has to receive its value as an argument. The argument
value is saved in the trap table when it is guaranteed that
the nested TLB miss will not occur.
 
2216 6284 d 10 h decky /trunk/ make thread ID 64 bit (task ID is 64 bit already)
cleanup thread syscalls
 
2143 6294 d 15 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Remove unneeded enum member.  
2141 6295 d 7 h jermar /trunk/ The Ultimate Solution To Illegal Virtual Aliases.
It is better to avoid them completely than to fight them.
Switch the sparc64 port to 16K pages. The TLBs and TSBs
continue to operate with 8K pages only. Page tables and
other generic parts operate with 16K pages.

Because the MMU doesn't support 16K directly, each 16K
page is emulated by a pair of 8K pages. With 16K pages,
illegal aliases cannot be created in 16K D-cache.
 
2134 6296 d 11 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Reworked handling of illegal virtual aliases caused by frame reuse.
We moved the incomplete handling from backend's frame method to
backend's page_fault method. The page_fault method is the one that
can create an illegal alias if it writes the userspace frame using
kernel address with a different page color than the page to which is
this frame mapped in userspace. When we detect this, we do D-cache
shootdown on all processors (!!!).

If we add code that accesses userspace memory from kernel address
space, we will have to check for illegal virtual aliases at all such
places.

I tested this on a 4-way simulated E6500 and a real-world Ultra 5,
which has unfortunatelly only one processor.

This solves ticket #26.
 
2129 6331 d 10 h jermar /trunk/ Fix small problem in sparc64 port.

Bump version to 0.2.0.4 (Sunset).
 
2106 6347 d 17 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Merge as_t structure into one and leave the differring parts in as_genarch_t.

Indentation and formatting changes in header files.
 
2105 6351 d 18 h decky /trunk/kernel/ move ipc structures to ipc.h  
2089 6353 d 17 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes
 
2083 6359 d 17 h decky /trunk/kernel/ typedef elimination  
2082 6359 d 17 h decky /trunk/ __asm__ __volatile__ -> asm volatile  
2079 6360 d 12 h decky /trunk/kernel/ remove some typedefs in favor of anonymous structures  
2076 6362 d 18 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Beat the implicit illegal virtual alias created by reusing userspace frames.
In the anonymous and ELF backends, if the architecture has virtually indexed D-cache,
selectively flush cachelines belonging to the frame being freed.
This fixes Ticket #20.
