2218 6261 d 20 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 6261 d 21 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 6262 d 0 h decky /trunk/ make thread ID 64 bit (task ID is 64 bit already)
cleanup thread syscalls
 
2211 6262 d 1 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/synch/ reflect the renaming of printflock to printf_lock  
2210 6262 d 2 h decky /trunk/ use more useful values  
2208 6262 d 2 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ use spinlock only on console output, not other print functions
cleanup
 
2188 6263 d 6 h decky /trunk/ new user space testing framework (unfinished)  
2187 6263 d 7 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ add syscall for getting current thread ID  
2185 6263 d 7 h decky /trunk/ rename ipcc to tester  
2184 6263 d 9 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/lib/ add zetta (sextillion) prefix
make constants explicitly unsigned
 
2183 6264 d 3 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 6268 d 21 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 6271 d 0 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.
 
2144 6271 d 22 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/mm/ Fix TSB size.  
2143 6272 d 4 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Remove unneeded enum member.  
2142 6272 d 4 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/include/mm/ Remove out of date comment.  
2141 6272 d 20 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 6274 d 0 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 6274 d 0 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Coding style and indentation fixes.  
2132 6275 d 7 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Fix coding style in the address space area backends.  
2129 6308 d 23 h jermar /trunk/ Fix small problem in sparc64 port.

Bump version to 0.2.0.4 (Sunset).
 
2128 6316 d 0 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 6316 d 10 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/lib/ add forgotten implementation  
2126 6316 d 21 h decky /trunk/kernel/ small cleanup, more work coming  
2125 6317 d 0 h decky /trunk/ experimental support for Objective C
(disabled by default)
 
2124 6317 d 1 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ implement simple realloc()  
2123 6323 d 4 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ add forgotten unsigned  
2122 6323 d 4 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ explicit typecast, fix signed/unsigned comparison  
2121 6323 d 4 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ remove anonymous structure, add static qualifier  
2120 6323 d 4 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/include/syscall/ specify syscall handler arguments  
2119 6323 d 5 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/syscall/ explicit typecast

2113 6323 d 7 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/console/ explicit typecast, fix signed/unsigned comparison

2110 6323 d 23 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/ia64/ Minor cleanup in ia64.
