2170 6291 d 22 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 6294 d 1 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 6294 d 23 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/mm/ Fix TSB size.  
2141 6295 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 6297 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.
 
2089 6354 d 7 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes
 
2078 6361 d 4 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 6363 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 6365 d 0 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)  
2048 6397 d 1 h jermar /trunk/ Formatting and indentation changes.  
2016 6402 d 7 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/mm/ The D-cache line size is actually 32 bytes on UltraSPARC II, IIi (and also IIe).  
2015 6404 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.
 
2010 6408 d 23 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/mm/ Fix comment.  
2009 6408 d 23 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Initial support for handling illegal virtual aliases on sparc64.  
2008 6411 d 0 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/ Add dcache_flush() function that flushes D-Cache on sparc64.  
2001 6414 d 21 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Indentation and comment fixes.  
1996 6421 d 2 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Add option to compile the sparc64 kernel without the TTE_CV bit support.
The bit is not used by default now.
Enabling it may theoretically lead to physical memory inconsistencies until code that
mitigates the problem is written.
 
1988 6422 d 22 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/mm/ Update comment and move initialization code away from application processor codepath.  
1987 6423 d 1 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/ Take the possible difference between kernel and physical address into account in TSB and userspace window buffer
allocation and deallocation code.
 
1983 6425 d 4 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/mm/ sparc64 work:
- fix computation of the frame allocator configuration frame
- mark the first physical frame unavailable, no matter what is its address

Because of that, we can now boot past the frame_arch_init() on the Ultra 60 now.
 
1982 6425 d 8 h jermar /trunk/ Modify the sparc64 startup code to not cause MMU traps before it takes over the TLB and
the trap table. Fix several PA2KA and KA2PA omittions or errors. Fix configuration to pass
the DEFS variable along.
 
1960 6447 d 0 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/mm/ Fix the following bug:

Ticket #3 data_access_exception after killing task on sparc64
 
1946 6454 d 21 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/ sparc64 work.
- Improve panic screen on data_access_exception
by dumping contents of DSFSR and DSFAR.
- Change the FHC enable interrupt code to only
set the IMAP_V bit.
 
1918 6465 d 0 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/mm/ Omitted comma.  
1917 6465 d 1 h jermar /trunk/ sparc64 work:
- hw_map() can now support up to 8M requests
- CPU stacks are now locked in DTLB of the respective processor
- kernel in the boot phase no longer relies on the stack provided by OpenFirmware
- instead of of doing FLUSHW during kernel startup, simply set the
window state registers to the wanted state
- NWINDOW -> NWINDOWS
- Add/fix some comments and copyrights.
 
1905 6475 d 10 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/ Small fixes.
The sparc64 kernel now compiles again even if not compiled with SMP support.
 
1903 6477 d 0 h jermar /trunk/ SMP stuff for sparc64.
Almost complete except for IPIs.
The absence of IPI support deadlocks
the kernel when more CPUs are configured.
 
1892 6485 d 10 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/mm/ Small improvement in initialization of sparc64's TBSs.  
1891 6485 d 22 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ sparc64 work:
- Experimental support for TSB (Translation Storage Buffer).
 
1890 6486 d 9 h jermar /trunk/ - Create a dedicated slab cache for as_t objects and switch from malloc/free to slab_alloc/slab_free for
them.

- Slightly fix and improve both the kernel and userspace atomic_add() on sparc64.

- More TSB work on the sparc64 front.
 
1889 6487 d 0 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Fix bug in mm/as.c:
- as_area_destroy() should not work with AS but as

sparc64 work:
- start implementing TSB support
 
1888 6490 d 3 h jermar /trunk/ C99 compliant header guards (hopefully) everywhere in the kernel.
Formatting and indentation changes.
Small improvements in sparc64.
 
1880 6493 d 23 h jermar /trunk/ Small improvements here and there.  
1870 6498 d 23 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Handle more sparc64 traps and improve handling of already handled traps.  
1868 6499 d 6 h jermar /trunk/ sparc64 work.
- the syscall wrapper needs to use the "memory"
clobber specifier to prevent over-optimization.
- on sparc64, the user address space spans the whole
64-bit space and therefore the macro
USER_ADDRESS_SPACE_SIZE_ARCH, as it was defined,
overflows to 0
- stop using USER_ADDRESS_SPACE_SIZE_ARCH and define
MAX_HEAP_SIZE instead
- in our situation when kernel and user address spaces
are separate, the G (global) bit cannot be used
(there is no point in it anymore)
- add the DEBUG() macro to stdio.h; DEBUG() uses
SYS_IO and is a good debugging tool for getting
early userspace to work
 
1865 6500 d 1 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ sparc64 kernel fixes  
1864 6500 d 21 h jermar /trunk/ sparc64 update.
- Prototype userspace layer implementation that
at least relates to sparc64 and compiles cleanly.
- Fixes for kernel's preemptible_handler and code
related to running userspace.
- Enable userspace. Several dozen instructions
are now run in userspace! We are pretty near
the userspace milestone for sparc64.
 
1860 6504 d 2 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ A lot of untested sparc64 stuff:
- Write ASID to hardware when a thread is about to run in userspace.
- Add userspace() and switch_to_userspace() functions.
- Handle special cases when the userspace spill/fill handler causes MMU trap.
- Resolve some TODOs in the existing sparc64 code.
- sparc64 has now C99 compliant header guards.
- Formatting and indentation fixes.
 
1859 6504 d 9 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/ sparc64 work.
- Convert interrupt_vector trap handler and some mm related trap handlers to
use preemptibe_handler(), which is essential for traps coming from userspace.
- Add fast_data_access_protection() handler.
 
1852 6509 d 2 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ sparc64 work.
Bunch of changes in preparation for sparc64 mm and userspace support.
Fix alignment of hardcoded_* variables in linker script.
