2272 6272 d 2 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Indentation and formatting fixes.  
2231 6282 d 4 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.
 
2216 6284 d 0 h decky /trunk/ make thread ID 64 bit (task ID is 64 bit already)
cleanup thread syscalls
 
2143 6294 d 5 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Remove unneeded enum member.  
2141 6294 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.
 
2134 6296 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.
 
2129 6331 d 0 h jermar /trunk/ Fix small problem in sparc64 port.

Bump version to 0.2.0.4 (Sunset).
 
2106 6347 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 6351 d 8 h decky /trunk/kernel/ move ipc structures to ipc.h  
2089 6353 d 7 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes
 
2083 6359 d 7 h decky /trunk/kernel/ typedef elimination  
2082 6359 d 7 h decky /trunk/ __asm__ __volatile__ -> asm volatile  
2079 6360 d 2 h decky /trunk/kernel/ remove some typedefs in favor of anonymous structures  
2076 6362 d 8 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 6364 d 0 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)  
2068 6371 d 7 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Formatting and indentation fixes.  
2065 6377 d 22 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Coding style fixes and formatting improvements.  
2056 6391 d 12 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Fix mismatched byteswapping macros on sparc64.  
2054 6391 d 22 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Fix important comment in kernel/arch/sparc64/src/proc/scheduler.c.

Improve framebuffer code.

Formatting and indentation fixes.
 
2048 6396 d 1 h jermar /trunk/ Formatting and indentation changes.  
2047 6397 d 23 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Convert sparc64 critical section barriers to RMO memory model.
More portable, no confusion from documentation.
 
2046 6398 d 1 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Another comment fix.  
2045 6398 d 1 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Fix comment.  
2044 6398 d 2 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/ On sparc64's tick interrupt, adjust the TICK_COMPARE register instead of the TICK
register. The TICK register now increments linearily and can be used by the get_cycle()
function.
 
2038 6398 d 22 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/ Remove old stuff.  
2037 6398 d 22 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Backout change from revision 2034.
sparc64 is not yet ready for get_cycle().
 
2034 6399 d 6 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ get_cycle() for sparc64.  
2025 6400 d 21 h jermar /trunk/ Coding style fixes.  
2023 6401 d 1 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ add dummy cycle.h  
2015 6403 d 0 h jermar /trunk/ Rework support for virtually indexed cache.
Instead of repeatedly flushing the data cache, which was a huge overkill, refuse to create an illegal address alias
in the kernel (again) and allocate appropriate page color in userspace instead. Extend the detection also to
SYS_PHYSMEM_MAP syscall.

Add support for tracking physical memory areas mappable by SYS_PHYSMEM_MAP.

Lots of coding style changes.
 
2009 6407 d 23 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Initial support for handling illegal virtual aliases on sparc64.  
2008 6410 d 0 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/ Add dcache_flush() function that flushes D-Cache on sparc64.  
2007 6410 d 22 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Introduce page colors. So far, only sparc64 uses correct page color bits. Other architectures have a dummy define
specifying zero bits for a page color.

There is a new check of page color in as_area_share(). Because of lack of support for this in the userspace, the
check has been #ifef'ed out.
 
2003 6412 d 5 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ cleanup endian conversion macros  
1984 6423 d 0 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/ sparc64 work:
- untested support for Psycho PCI controller
 
1978 6425 d 0 h jermar /trunk/ sparc64 code to support physical memory that starts on non-zero addresses.
Still needs to be tested on systems with such setup.
 
1976 6431 d 6 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/ sparc64 context does not have to include the CLEANWIN register.  
1954 6446 d 23 h jermar /trunk/ Minor changes. Some coding style fixes and also a type (tee vs. tree).
One AS -> as change.
 
1949 6451 d 7 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/ Remove notes about automatically generated context_offset.h
and replace it with a proper copyright notice.
 
1948 6451 d 10 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Remove broken, outdated and unused gencontext.c utilities.
