2797 5895 d 16 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Each architecture should only announce its endianity.
The conversion macros should be defined only once.
 
2794 5896 d 16 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Add macros for byte swapping of uint16_t's.  
2745 5932 d 0 h decky /trunk/ code cleanup (mostly signed/unsigned)
allow extra compiler warnings
 
2725 5952 d 21 h decky /trunk/kernel/ remove config.memory_size, get_memory_size() and memory_init.{c|d}
the amount of available memory can be calculated from the sizes of the zones
add FRAMES2SIZE, SIZE2KB and SIZE2MB functions/macros (code readability)
 
2721 5953 d 22 h decky /trunk/kernel/ convert e820list to a generic physmem command  
2610 6034 d 19 h jermar /trunk/ Support for six syscall arguments for sparc64.
There is a minor stability issue which needs to be fixed (kernel panics upon entering kconsole from the
console task).
 
2510 6106 d 16 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Experimental support for the cgsix framebuffer, which is found on old Ultra 1
worksations, and the SBUS bus and devices. Not tested.
 
2462 6197 d 15 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Replace gcc-specific __FUNCTION__ with C99 __func__.
suncc's xregs=no%float can be used only on sparc64.
 
2460 6197 d 16 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Better infrastructure for building with different compilers.
Separate ICC_CFLAGS added, SUNCC_CFLAGS extended.
 
2454 6198 d 14 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ A bit of infrastructure for building with different compilers.
CFLAGS split into GCC_CFLAGS and SUNCC_CFLAGS.
As of now, there are no separate ICC_CFLAGS, but can be easily added.
 
2272 6245 d 17 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Indentation and formatting fixes.  
2267 6247 d 16 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/mm/ Fix indentation.  
2266 6247 d 17 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/mm/ Add few assertions to tsb.c and clean it up a little bit.  
2252 6249 d 15 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/mm/ Move one MEMBAR instruction from a delay slot,
which is, due to SF Erratum #51, a potentionally
dangerous place for a MEMBAR to be.
 
2231 6255 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.
 
2228 6255 d 22 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/ Fix ticket #28.
In switch_to_userspace(), the uarg argument is in %i2, not in %i3.
 
2227 6256 d 6 h decky /trunk/kernel/ start shutdown infrastructure  
2216 6257 d 16 h decky /trunk/ make thread ID 64 bit (task ID is 64 bit already)
cleanup thread syscalls
 
2170 6264 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 6266 d 16 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 6267 d 14 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/mm/ Fix TSB size.  
2143 6267 d 20 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Remove unneeded enum member.  
2141 6268 d 12 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 6269 d 16 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 6304 d 15 h jermar /trunk/ Fix small problem in sparc64 port.

Bump version to 0.2.0.4 (Sunset).
 
2125 6312 d 16 h decky /trunk/ experimental support for Objective C
(disabled by default)
 
2107 6320 d 14 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 6320 d 22 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 6324 d 23 h decky /trunk/kernel/ move ipc structures to ipc.h  
2091 6326 d 18 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/ Fix creating the kkbdpoll() kernel thread on sparc64 SMP machines.
This fixes Ticket #19.
 
2089 6326 d 22 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes
 
2083 6332 d 22 h decky /trunk/kernel/ typedef elimination  
2082 6332 d 23 h decky /trunk/ __asm__ __volatile__ -> asm volatile  
2079 6333 d 17 h decky /trunk/kernel/ remove some typedefs in favor of anonymous structures  
2078 6333 d 19 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 6335 d 23 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 6337 d 15 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)  
2068 6344 d 23 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Formatting and indentation fixes.  
2067 6347 d 21 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ More formatting changes.  
2065 6351 d 14 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Coding style fixes and formatting improvements.
