2184 6281 d 10 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/lib/ add zetta (sextillion) prefix
make constants explicitly unsigned
 
2183 6282 d 5 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Continue to de-oversynchronize the kernel.
- replace as->refcount with an atomic counter; accesses to this
reference counter are not to be done when the as->lock mutex is held;
this gets us rid of mutex_lock_active();

Remove the possibility of a deadlock between TLB shootdown and asidlock.
- get rid of mutex_lock_active() on as->lock
- when locking the asidlock spinlock, always do it conditionally and with
preemption disabled; in the unsuccessful case, enable interrupts and try again
- there should be no deadlock between TLB shootdown and the as->lock mutexes
- PLEASE REVIEW !!!

Add DEADLOCK_PROBE's to places where we have spinlock_trylock() loops.
 
2170 6286 d 22 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Simplify synchronization in as_switch().
The function was oversynchronized, which
was causing deadlocks on the address
space mutex.

Now, address spaces can only be switched
when the asidlock is held. This also protects
stealing of ASIDs. No other synchronization
is necessary.
 
2161 6289 d 1 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/mm/ Fix TSB bug during TSB refill.
When one wants to enable a TSB entry, he or she should set the
entry invalid bit to false, as opposed to setting it to true.
 
2160 6289 d 1 h decky /trunk/boot/arch/ remove duplicate dependency  
2144 6289 d 23 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/mm/ Fix TSB size.  
2143 6290 d 5 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Remove unneeded enum member.  
2142 6290 d 6 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/include/mm/ Remove out of date comment.  
2141 6290 d 21 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.
 
2139 6290 d 22 h decky /trunk/contrib/toolchain/ move to GCC 4.1.2, make scripts really host platform independent
remove orphaned libobjc
 
2138 6291 d 1 h decky /trunk/contrib/toolchain/ revert previous change (libobjc is actually HOST platform dependent)  
2134 6292 d 1 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.
 
2133 6292 d 1 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Coding style and indentation fixes.  
2132 6293 d 8 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Fix coding style in the address space area backends.  
2129 6327 d 0 h jermar /trunk/ Fix small problem in sparc64 port.

Bump version to 0.2.0.4 (Sunset).
 
2128 6334 d 1 h jermar /trunk/ Add arm32 architecture. The 32 suffix is used to specify that 16-bit Thumb
instructions are not used. The arm32 code is mostly composed of placeholders
that need to be replaced by real implementation. So far, the arm32 tree
only compiles. If run under GXEmul simulator, an infinit loop at the
kernel entry point will be entered.
 
2127 6334 d 11 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/lib/ add forgotten implementation  
2126 6334 d 22 h decky /trunk/kernel/ small cleanup, more work coming  
2125 6335 d 1 h decky /trunk/ experimental support for Objective C
(disabled by default)
 
2124 6335 d 2 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ implement simple realloc()  
2123 6341 d 5 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ add forgotten unsigned  
2122 6341 d 5 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ explicit typecast, fix signed/unsigned comparison  
2121 6341 d 5 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ remove anonymous structure, add static qualifier  
2120 6341 d 6 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/include/syscall/ specify syscall handler arguments  
2119 6341 d 6 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/syscall/ explicit typecast  
2118 6341 d 6 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/ explicit typecast, fix signed/unsigned comparison

2114 6341 d 6 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/console/ explicit typecast  
2113 6341 d 8 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/console/ explicit typecast, fix signed/unsigned comparison  
2112 6341 d 8 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/adt/ explicit typecast, fix signed/unsigned comparison  
2111 6341 d 8 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/adt/ fix signed/unsigned comparison  
2110 6342 d 0 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/ia64/ Minor cleanup in ia64.  
2109 6342 d 9 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Revert thread_interrupt_sleep() to waitq_interrupt_sleep().
I'd prefer that this, IMO, waitq related stuff stays together.
 
2108 6342 d 9 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/console/ Cleanup kconsole.c  
2107 6342 d 23 h jermar /trunk/ When clock() is called by an external interrupt dispatched by the IRQ dispatcher,
no spinlock can be held or the kernel will not be preemptive. This fixes Ticket #24.

Formating and indentation fixes.
 
2106 6343 d 7 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 6347 d 8 h decky /trunk/kernel/ move ipc structures to ipc.h  
2104 6347 d 9 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/lib/ more fine order of magnitude display
