2745 5934 d 11 h decky /trunk/ code cleanup (mostly signed/unsigned)
allow extra compiler warnings
 
2725 5955 d 8 h decky /trunk/kernel/ remove config.memory_size, get_memory_size() and memory_init.{c|d}
the amount of available memory can be calculated from the sizes of the zones
add FRAMES2SIZE, SIZE2KB and SIZE2MB functions/macros (code readability)
 
2712 5960 d 8 h decky /trunk/kernel/ prettyprint output  
2647 6007 d 4 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Fix a bug in anonymous address space area sharing. Call the backend's share
function only if the source area is not already shared. Otherwise increment the
sh_info refcount. Without this fix, the kernel will try to recreate the pagemap
if three and more address space areas attempt to share the same data.
 
2556 6085 d 12 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Rename as_get_size() to as_area_get_size() and add a doxygen comment.  
2467 6193 d 5 h jermar /trunk/ Improve comments for arch-specific implementations of hierarchical
4-level page tables. Improve formatting.
 
2222 6259 d 2 h decky /trunk/kernel/ map kernel pages explicitly as writable (this solves compatibility issues with Intel Core 2)
make VESA framebuffer initialization more robust
 
2183 6262 d 7 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 6267 d 0 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.
 
2141 6270 d 23 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 6272 d 3 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 6272 d 3 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Coding style and indentation fixes.  
2132 6273 d 10 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Fix coding style in the address space area backends.  
2128 6314 d 3 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 6315 d 0 h decky /trunk/kernel/ small cleanup, more work coming  
2125 6315 d 3 h decky /trunk/ experimental support for Objective C
(disabled by default)
 
2124 6315 d 4 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ implement simple realloc()  
2123 6321 d 7 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ add forgotten unsigned  
2122 6321 d 7 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ explicit typecast, fix signed/unsigned comparison  
2121 6321 d 7 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ remove anonymous structure, add static qualifier  
2106 6323 d 9 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 6328 d 5 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ avoid conflict with potential keyword  
2089 6329 d 9 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes
 
2087 6330 d 5 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Indentaion and formatting changes even Martin will like :-)  
2083 6335 d 9 h decky /trunk/kernel/ typedef elimination  
2076 6338 d 10 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 6340 d 2 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)  
2069 6342 d 0 h jermar /trunk/ Improve formatting.  
2059 6363 d 11 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Improve indentation and formatting.  
2052 6369 d 6 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ pretty-print slabs  
2048 6372 d 4 h jermar /trunk/ Formatting and indentation changes.  
2035 6375 d 8 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/ more fancy kconsole output  
2015 6379 d 2 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 6384 d 1 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Initial support for handling illegal virtual aliases on sparc64.  
2007 6387 d 0 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 6390 d 12 h decky /trunk/kernel/ move files to more proper locations  
1999 6390 d 12 h decky /trunk/ start RAM disk support  
1981 6400 d 10 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Indentation, formatting and minor changes.  
1954 6423 d 1 h jermar /trunk/ Minor changes. Some coding style fixes and also a type (tee vs. tree).
One AS -> as change.
 
1950 6427 d 5 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Indentation changes and coding style fixes in slab.c and slab.h.
