2474 6224 d 18 h jermar /tags/0.2.0.5/ Add tag for HelenOS 0.2.0.5.  
2272 6284 d 21 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Indentation and formatting fixes.  
2231 6294 d 23 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 6296 d 19 h decky /trunk/ make thread ID 64 bit (task ID is 64 bit already)
cleanup thread syscalls
 
2143 6307 d 0 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Remove unneeded enum member.  
2141 6307 d 16 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 6308 d 20 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 6343 d 19 h jermar /trunk/ Fix small problem in sparc64 port.

Bump version to 0.2.0.4 (Sunset).
 
2106 6360 d 2 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 6364 d 3 h decky /trunk/kernel/ move ipc structures to ipc.h  
2089 6366 d 2 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes
 
2083 6372 d 2 h decky /trunk/kernel/ typedef elimination  
2082 6372 d 2 h decky /trunk/ __asm__ __volatile__ -> asm volatile  
2079 6372 d 21 h decky /trunk/kernel/ remove some typedefs in favor of anonymous structures  
2076 6375 d 3 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.
 
2071 6376 d 19 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)  
2068 6384 d 2 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Formatting and indentation fixes.  
2065 6390 d 17 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Coding style fixes and formatting improvements.  
2056 6404 d 7 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Fix mismatched byteswapping macros on sparc64.  
2054 6404 d 17 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Fix important comment in kernel/arch/sparc64/src/proc/scheduler.c.

Improve framebuffer code.

Formatting and indentation fixes.
 
2048 6408 d 20 h jermar /trunk/ Formatting and indentation changes.  
2047 6410 d 18 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Convert sparc64 critical section barriers to RMO memory model.
More portable, no confusion from documentation.
 
2046 6410 d 20 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Another comment fix.  
2045 6410 d 20 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Fix comment.  
2044 6410 d 21 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/ On sparc64's tick interrupt, adjust the TICK_COMPARE register instead of the TICK
register. The TICK register now increments linearily and can be used by the get_cycle()
function.
 
2038 6411 d 17 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/ Remove old stuff.  
2037 6411 d 17 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Backout change from revision 2034.
sparc64 is not yet ready for get_cycle().
 
2034 6412 d 1 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ get_cycle() for sparc64.  
2025 6413 d 16 h jermar /trunk/ Coding style fixes.  
2023 6413 d 20 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ add dummy cycle.h  
2015 6415 d 19 h jermar /trunk/ Rework support for virtually indexed cache.
Instead of repeatedly flushing the data cache, which was a huge overkill, refuse to create an illegal address alias
in the kernel (again) and allocate appropriate page color in userspace instead. Extend the detection also to
SYS_PHYSMEM_MAP syscall.

Add support for tracking physical memory areas mappable by SYS_PHYSMEM_MAP.

Lots of coding style changes.
 
2009 6420 d 18 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Initial support for handling illegal virtual aliases on sparc64.  
2008 6422 d 19 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/ Add dcache_flush() function that flushes D-Cache on sparc64.  
2007 6423 d 17 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Introduce page colors. So far, only sparc64 uses correct page color bits. Other architectures have a dummy define
specifying zero bits for a page color.

There is a new check of page color in as_area_share(). Because of lack of support for this in the userspace, the
check has been #ifef'ed out.
 
2003 6425 d 0 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ cleanup endian conversion macros  
1984 6435 d 19 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/ sparc64 work:
- untested support for Psycho PCI controller
 
1978 6437 d 19 h jermar /trunk/ sparc64 code to support physical memory that starts on non-zero addresses.
Still needs to be tested on systems with such setup.
 
1976 6444 d 1 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/ sparc64 context does not have to include the CLEANWIN register.  
1954 6459 d 18 h jermar /trunk/ Minor changes. Some coding style fixes and also a type (tee vs. tree).
One AS -> as change.
 
1949 6464 d 2 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/ Remove notes about automatically generated context_offset.h
and replace it with a proper copyright notice.
