2141 6291 d 0 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 6292 d 4 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.
 
2133 6292 d 4 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Coding style and indentation fixes.  
2132 6293 d 10 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Fix coding style in the address space area backends.  
2128 6334 d 4 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 6335 d 1 h decky /trunk/kernel/ small cleanup, more work coming  
2125 6335 d 3 h decky /trunk/ experimental support for Objective C
(disabled by default)
 
2124 6335 d 5 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ implement simple realloc()  
2123 6341 d 8 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ add forgotten unsigned  
2122 6341 d 8 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ explicit typecast, fix signed/unsigned comparison  
2121 6341 d 8 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ remove anonymous structure, add static qualifier  
2106 6343 d 10 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.
 
2094 6348 d 6 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ avoid conflict with potential keyword  
2089 6349 d 10 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes
 
2087 6350 d 6 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Indentaion and formatting changes even Martin will like :-)  
2083 6355 d 10 h decky /trunk/kernel/ typedef elimination  
2076 6358 d 11 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 6360 d 3 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)  
2069 6362 d 1 h jermar /trunk/ Improve formatting.  
2059 6383 d 12 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Improve indentation and formatting.  
2052 6389 d 6 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ pretty-print slabs  
2048 6392 d 4 h jermar /trunk/ Formatting and indentation changes.  
2035 6395 d 8 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/ more fancy kconsole output  
2015 6399 d 3 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 6404 d 2 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Initial support for handling illegal virtual aliases on sparc64.  
2007 6407 d 1 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.
 
2000 6410 d 12 h decky /trunk/kernel/ move files to more proper locations  
1999 6410 d 12 h decky /trunk/ start RAM disk support  
1981 6420 d 11 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Indentation, formatting and minor changes.  
1954 6443 d 2 h jermar /trunk/ Minor changes. Some coding style fixes and also a type (tee vs. tree).
One AS -> as change.
 
1950 6447 d 6 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Indentation changes and coding style fixes in slab.c and slab.h.  
1915 6461 d 3 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ A quote from from SPARC V9 specification:

The Y register is deprecated; it is provided only for compatibility with previous versions
of the architecture. It should not be used in new SPARC-V9 software. It is
recommended that all instructions that reference the Y register (i.e., SMUL,
SMULcc, UMUL, UMULcc, MULScc, SDIV, SDIVcc, UDIV, UDIVcc, RDY, and
WRY) be avoided. See the appropriate pages in Appendix A, “Instruction Definitions,”
for suitable substitute instructions.

Still gcc is generating code which uses Y and some of the instructions above.
This change modifies the preemptible_handler() to preserve the Y register
across preemption.
 
1914 6461 d 9 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Add function for printing out info about address space.  
1904 6471 d 8 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ IPI/cross-call support for sparc64.
SMP on sparc64 is now fully supported.
 
1894 6480 d 1 h jermar /trunk/ Add balloc() (a.k.a boot allocator):
- balloc() only needs to know how to allocate memory.
- Memory allocated via balloc() is supposed to be passed to kernel and never freed by boot itself.
- make kernel aware of boot allocations

More work on OFW device tree:
- use balloc() to efficiently and safely allocate memory for the canonical copy of the device tree

sparc64 boot:
- pass OFW device tree root node pointer to kernel
 
1891 6481 d 1 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ sparc64 work:
- Experimental support for TSB (Translation Storage Buffer).
 
1890 6481 d 12 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 6482 d 3 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
 
1854 6501 d 12 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Define architecture-specific thread sub-constructors and sub-destructors on all architectures.
Define the THREAD_FLAG_USPACE which means that the thread runs in user space.
The forementioned changes allow for allocating of user window buffer on sparc64
threads that execute in userspace.

A lot of formatting and indentation fixes.
 
1851 6509 d 10 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ sparc64 work.
Define the istate structure.
Move the identity-mapping handler to assembly.
Make the preemptible handler more general so that TL=1 MMU exceptions can make use of it.

Little bit of formatting and indentation.
