2170 6293 d 6 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 6295 d 9 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 6296 d 6 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/mm/ Fix TSB size.  
2143 6296 d 12 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Remove unneeded enum member.  
2141 6297 d 4 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 6298 d 8 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 6333 d 7 h jermar /trunk/ Fix small problem in sparc64 port.

Bump version to 0.2.0.4 (Sunset).
 
2128 6340 d 9 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.
 
2125 6341 d 8 h decky /trunk/ experimental support for Objective C
(disabled by default)
 
2110 6348 d 7 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/ia64/ Minor cleanup in ia64.  
2107 6349 d 6 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 6349 d 15 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 6353 d 15 h decky /trunk/kernel/ move ipc structures to ipc.h  
2101 6354 d 9 h decky /trunk/kernel/ fix signed/unsigned comparison and integer overflow  
2100 6354 d 9 h decky /trunk/kernel/ signed/unsigned comparison, explicit typecast  
2099 6354 d 10 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ia32/src/ explicit cast on pointer arithmetic  
2097 6354 d 10 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ia32/src/smp/ fix signed/unsigned comparison

2091 6355 d 11 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/ Fix creating the kkbdpoll() kernel thread on sparc64 SMP machines.
This fixes Ticket #19.
 
2089 6355 d 15 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes
 
2087 6356 d 10 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Indentaion and formatting changes even Martin will like :-)  
2083 6361 d 14 h decky /trunk/kernel/ typedef elimination  
2082 6361 d 15 h decky /trunk/ __asm__ __volatile__ -> asm volatile  
2079 6362 d 9 h decky /trunk/kernel/ remove some typedefs in favor of anonymous structures  
2078 6362 d 11 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/ When invalidating entire TLBs on sparc64, make sure to also invalidate any (locked) global entries.
This fixes Ticket #21.
Fix a comment in start.S stating that the kernel installs a global entry for itself. All entries installed by the kernel
are local to some memory context.
 
2076 6364 d 16 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.
