4490 5502 d 1 h decky /trunk/kernel/ remove redundant index_t and count_t types (which were always quite ambiguous and not actually needed)  
4274 5552 d 23 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/ fix compilation in non-SMP configurations  
4254 5559 d 22 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/ Address issues with IRQ notifications.  
4148 5579 d 9 h decky /trunk/ as kernel little brother drivers are not needed anymore, the device numbers do not have to be correlated between kernel and uspace in any way
introduce new syscall sys_device_assign_devno() for generating system-wide unique device numbers for uspace
 
3973 5598 d 9 h decky /trunk/kernel/ kernel memory management revisited (phase 2): map physical memory according to zones
- ia32: register reserved and ACPI zones
- pareas are now used only for mapping of present physical memory (hw_area() is gone)
- firmware zones and physical addresses outside any zones are allowed to be mapped generally
- fix nasty antient bug in zones_insert_zone()
 
3968 5599 d 23 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/ddi/ Fix argument order.  
3964 5601 d 7 h decky /trunk/kernel/ switch between the preference of kernel/uspace IRQ hash table  
3950 5604 d 1 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/ddi/ Fix UP builds.  
3947 5604 d 3 h jermar /trunk/ This is the evil commit. In particular, it does:

- introduces more powerful pseudo code for userspace IRQ top-half handlers
- changes the internals of IRQ dispatching
- simplifies the kernel's i8042 driver
- adapts the uspace i8042 driver to make use of the new pseudocode
- breaks all other architectures except ia32
- breaks almost all existing drivers
- breaks switching between uspace and kernel drivers
 
3940 5605 d 3 h decky /trunk/kernel/ make hw_area API more generic
this allows mapping of EGA VRAM on ia32/amd64
 
3908 5609 d 1 h decky /trunk/ overhaul pareas: use one single physical area for the physical address space not belonging to physical memory  
3906 5609 d 21 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ IRQ handlers are using one superfluous argument and an unused elipsis.
On the other hand, IRQ claim functions would need to be passed the instance
argument.
 
3655 5688 d 0 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Add additional members to the irq_t structure so that an interrupt-driven driver
does not need to know how to clear the level interrupt. The z8530 was modified
in this way and is much more generic. The ns16550 driver has also been modified,
but awaits testing. The sparc64 interrupt mapping and dispatch code is now using
the new info and calls the clear-interrupt-routine itself.
 
2218 6289 d 21 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)
 
2141 6300 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.
 
2117 6351 d 6 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/ddi/ explicit typecast  
2116 6351 d 6 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/ddi/ explicit typecast  
2107 6352 d 23 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.
 
2089 6359 d 7 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes
 
2071 6370 d 0 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)  
2015 6409 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.
 
2012 6411 d 22 h jermar /trunk/ Eliminate confusion between SYS_MAP_PHYSMEM and sys_physmem_map.
The syscall is to be called SYS_PHYSMEM_MAP from now on and the functions that participate in its implementation are
called *physmem_map().
 
1933 6461 d 23 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Implement efficient IPC notification cleanup.  
1926 6462 d 10 h decky /trunk/kernel/ cleanup for new IRQ subsystem  
1923 6462 d 23 h jermar /trunk/ Replace the old IRQ dispatcher and IPC notifier with new implementation.
Note that all architectures except for sparc64 are now broken
and don't even compile.
 
1922 6464 d 7 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ More IRQ stuff.
Modify the IRQ hash table functions to support lookup based on inr and devno.
Add method member to irq_t.
 
1921 6465 d 1 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Changes in ns16550 and z8530 drivers.
Add some stuff for IRQ notifications to irq_t.
 
1920 6465 d 9 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Move the new IRQ redirector to ddi/.
Add function for assigning unique device numbers.
Change sparc64/drivers/kbd.c to assign devno to keyboard.
 
1888 6495 d 3 h jermar /trunk/ C99 compliant header guards (hopefully) everywhere in the kernel.
Formatting and indentation changes.
Small improvements in sparc64.
 
1839 6535 d 4 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ finish security context isolation  
1787 6560 d 2 h decky / move kernel/trunk, uspace/trunk and boot/trunk to trunk/kernel, trunk/uspace and trunk/boot  
1780 6567 d 3 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Replace old __u?? types with respective C99 variants (e.g. uint32_t, int64_t, uintptr_t etc.).  
1708 6585 d 9 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Fix some broken doxygen comments.  
1705 6587 d 9 h cejka /kernel/trunk/ Added file with modules definitions and descriptions.
We are able to change modules order and their description in one place.
 
1702 6588 d 6 h cejka /kernel/trunk/ Kernel doxygen comments updated.  
1589 6596 d 2 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/src/ Improve comments regarding liveliness of threads and tasks.  
1588 6596 d 2 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/src/ In task_kill(), remove the task from the tasks_btree before proceeding.
Thus, when the kernel finds the task in the tasks_btree and locks it before
releasing tasks_lock, it is guaranteed that the task will not be destroyed
until the lock is held. If the kernel needs to unlock the task, do some operation
and lock it again, it should increase its refcount before doing so. In that case,
when releasing the lock, it must decrement the refcount and if it reaches
zero, it must call task_destroy().
 
1494 6599 d 20 h palkovsky /kernel/trunk/generic/ Removes unnecessary parameter for map_physmem syscall.  
1429 6604 d 10 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/ Make ddi_physmem_map() accept address space area flags instead of writable switch.
Thus even these types of address space areas can turn caching on, if it is desired.
 
1425 6605 d 0 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/ Make address space backend data a union.
