2494 6183 d 15 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Implement a new mechanism for copying data between two address spaces based on
IPC. New system method IPC_M_DATA_SEND is introduced. The implementation is
generic and does not make use of any possible architecture optimizations such as
direct copy from one address space to another.
 
2493 6183 d 19 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/include/ipc/ Collapse IPC method numbers.  
2476 6204 d 15 h jermar /trunk/ Cleanup.  
2471 6207 d 16 h jermar /trunk/ Greatly improve comments in the IPC layer.
Now I think I finally start to understand our IPC internals :-)
 
2465 6216 d 21 h jermar /trunk/ Merge arm32 into trunk.  
2462 6218 d 16 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Replace gcc-specific __FUNCTION__ with C99 __func__.
suncc's xregs=no%float can be used only on sparc64.
 
2451 6220 d 16 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ JoinMe -> Lingering  
2446 6223 d 20 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ More efficient and simpler task termination.

Based on the assumption, that after its creation, only the task itself can create more threads for itself,
the last thread with userspace context to execute thread_exit() will perform futex and IPC cleanup. When
the task has no threads, it is destroyed. Both the cleanup and destruction is controlled by reference
counting.

As for userspace threads, even though there could be a global garbage collector for joining threads, it is
much simpler if the uinit thread detaches itself before switching to userspace.

task_kill() is now an idempotent operation. It just instructs the threads within a task to exit.

Change in the name of a thread state: Undead -> JoinMe.
 
2445 6223 d 22 h decky /trunk/ initial merge of branches/fs
(not finished, huge cleanup is needed)
 
2444 6224 d 12 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ First fixes for suncc support.
It is going to be a long way...
 
2441 6224 d 14 h decky /trunk/kernel/ fix ICC compilation  
2440 6224 d 15 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Fix the problem with sys_thread_create() by splitting the create and attach functionality of
thread_create(). Now it is possible to specify a flag that will cause thread_create() to only allocate and
initialize the thread structure. A call to thread_attach() will make the thread visible to the system.
This arrangement makes it easier to undo creation of a thread in case of a failure in sys_thread_create().
 
2310 6248 d 17 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Cleanup the waitq_wakeup() interface.
Replace numeric constants (i.e. 0)
and boolean constants (i.e. false) with
more readable WAKEUP_FIRST. Also change the
type of the second argument of waitq_wakeup()
to a newly introduced type wakeup_mode_t.

Fix behaviour of waitq_wakeup() in case
that WAKEUP_ALL semantics is required
but no threads are sleeping in the wait
queue. This is a similar fix to that of
Jan Hudecek committed in the RCU branch,
but, IMHO, is more straightforward and
also doesn't eat up previous missed
wakeups.
 
2275 6265 d 17 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ add fancy uptime kconsole command  
2268 6267 d 17 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Document and assert proper usage of THREAD_FLAG_WIRED.
Original patch by Jan Hudecek.
 
2227 6277 d 6 h decky /trunk/kernel/ start shutdown infrastructure  
2218 6278 d 12 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)
 
2216 6278 d 16 h decky /trunk/ make thread ID 64 bit (task ID is 64 bit already)
cleanup thread syscalls
 
2208 6278 d 18 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ use spinlock only on console output, not other print functions
cleanup
 
2187 6279 d 23 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ add syscall for getting current thread ID  
2183 6280 d 20 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 6285 d 14 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.
 
2142 6288 d 21 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/include/mm/ Remove out of date comment.  
2128 6332 d 17 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.
 
2126 6333 d 13 h decky /trunk/kernel/ small cleanup, more work coming  
2125 6333 d 16 h decky /trunk/ experimental support for Objective C
(disabled by default)
 
2124 6333 d 18 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ implement simple realloc()  
2122 6339 d 20 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ explicit typecast, fix signed/unsigned comparison  
2120 6339 d 21 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/include/syscall/ specify syscall handler arguments  
2109 6341 d 0 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Revert thread_interrupt_sleep() to waitq_interrupt_sleep().
I'd prefer that this, IMO, waitq related stuff stays together.
 
2107 6341 d 15 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 6341 d 23 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 6345 d 23 h decky /trunk/kernel/ move ipc structures to ipc.h  
2103 6346 d 16 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/include/ move timeout_t to timeout.h
move other helper types to thread.h
 
2098 6346 d 18 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ avoid conflict with potential keyword  
2096 6346 d 18 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/include/ move thread_t to thread.h  
2094 6346 d 18 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ avoid conflict with potential keyword  
2093 6346 d 19 h decky /trunk/kernel/ spinlock extern declaration macro  
2092 6346 d 20 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/include/ move cpu_t to cpu.h  
2090 6347 d 19 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/include/proc/ cleanup garbage
