2233 6281 d 14 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ use the hlt instruction more properly  
2232 6281 d 15 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/mips32/src/ add support for halt/reboot in MSIM  
2231 6281 d 19 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.
 
2230 6281 d 19 h jermar /trunk/uspace/ Remove printf() serialization from thread1 test in tester.
The agreement among developers seems to be that:
- there _must_ be a futex to serialize access to printf()
- there _must_ be pseudo thread serialization in printf()
- the best place for this is vprintf(), the one that goes to console
 
2229 6281 d 21 h jermar /trunk/ Revert some of the changes introduced in revision 2209.
I think it is not correct to remove serialization of pseudo threads in printf_core.c.
With thread-level futex serialization, several pseudo threads running in one thread could easily deadlock
the task.

Add a dedicated futex serialization to thread1.c test only.
 
2228 6281 d 21 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/ Fix ticket #28.
In switch_to_userspace(), the uarg argument is in %i2, not in %i3.
 
2227 6282 d 5 h decky /trunk/kernel/ start shutdown infrastructure  
2226 6282 d 5 h decky /trunk/contrib/conf/ MIPS boot image has grown  
2225 6282 d 5 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/mips32/ the bss and common sections have to be in .data output section to be properly generated in the binary image
(this might break IRIX, but it is already unmaintaned)
 
2224 6282 d 11 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/console/ detach joined thread  
2223 6282 d 11 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/ add mcall0 command (calling a function on each CPU)  
2222 6282 d 14 h decky /trunk/kernel/ map kernel pages explicitly as writable (this solves compatibility issues with Intel Core 2)
make VESA framebuffer initialization more robust
 
2221 6282 d 16 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ia32/src/boot/ fix typo in comment  
2220 6282 d 16 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ia32/src/boot/ check for PSE support, add error message on PSE not present
make initial mapping explicitly writeable, turn PAE explicitly off (just in case)
 
2219 6282 d 17 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/amd64/src/boot/ add error message on no long mode support  
2218 6283 d 11 h decky /trunk/kernel/ support the possibility to send EOI or Interrupt Acknowledgement
prior to processing the interrupt
(this is essential on some architectures to prevent preemption deadlock)
 
2217 6283 d 12 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/ia32/src/smp/ On SMP amd64 and ia32 systems, release the irq->lock
before calling clock() from the interrupt handler.
This is important for maintaining kernel preemption
since no preemption can take place while a spinlock
is held.
 
2216 6283 d 15 h decky /trunk/ make thread ID 64 bit (task ID is 64 bit already)
cleanup thread syscalls
 
2211 6283 d 17 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/synch/ reflect the renaming of printflock to printf_lock  
2210 6283 d 17 h decky /trunk/ use more useful values  
2209 6283 d 17 h decky /trunk/uspace/ use futex instead of pthread serialization
synchronize only output to stdout
cleanup
 
2208 6283 d 17 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ use spinlock only on console output, not other print functions
cleanup
 
2193 6284 d 20 h decky /trunk/uspace/tester/ reimplement all tests from original ipcc
(cleanup needed)
 
2192 6284 d 20 h decky /trunk/uspace/libc/arch/sparc64/include/ fix uspace atomic_add according kernel code  
2188 6284 d 21 h decky /trunk/ new user space testing framework (unfinished)  
2187 6284 d 22 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ add syscall for getting current thread ID  
2186 6284 d 23 h decky /trunk/uspace/tester/ rename ipcc.c to tester.c  
2185 6284 d 23 h decky /trunk/ rename ipcc to tester  
2184 6285 d 1 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/lib/ add zetta (sextillion) prefix
make constants explicitly unsigned
 
2183 6285 d 19 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 6290 d 13 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 6292 d 15 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 6292 d 16 h decky /trunk/boot/arch/ remove duplicate dependency  
2144 6293 d 13 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/mm/ Fix TSB size.  
2143 6293 d 19 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Remove unneeded enum member.  
2142 6293 d 20 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/include/mm/ Remove out of date comment.  
2141 6294 d 11 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 6294 d 12 h decky /trunk/contrib/toolchain/ move to GCC 4.1.2, make scripts really host platform independent
remove orphaned libobjc
 
2138 6294 d 15 h decky /trunk/contrib/toolchain/ revert previous change (libobjc is actually HOST platform dependent)  
2134 6295 d 15 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.
