3422 5730 d 14 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ as_area_resize() should use as instead of AS.  
3384 5742 d 17 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ cstyle  
3383 5743 d 2 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Fix panic caused by not setting new area flags in as_area_change_flags(), as pointed out by Jakub.  
3382 5743 d 14 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Fix the rare case when the anon or ELF backend uses PFN 0 for mapping.  
3240 5776 d 1 h decky / move unfinished ObjC support to a separate branch  
3222 5798 d 20 h svoboda /trunk/ Merge program-loader related stuff from dynload branch to trunk. (huge)  
3208 5800 d 16 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ The real intention of the previous commit was to put the boundary
on 4 GiB, not 16 GiB.		  
3207 5800 d 16 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Introduce FRAME_LOW_16_GiB slab/frame allocator flag. When specified, the
allocators will not allocate memory above 16 GiB. Each architecture needs to
make sure not to merge zones from below and above 16 GiB. Allocations that
require memory below 16 GiB need to be altered to use this flag.		  
3206 5800 d 18 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Avoid deadlock during the 'zone n' kconsole command. Buddy allocator detail is
no longer printed because the effort to avoid the deadlock was simply not worth
it.		  
3205 5800 d 20 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Fix deadlock in the 'zones' kconsole command.  
3188 5813 d 13 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Finer grained waiting for memory with consideration of the number
of available memory frames.		  
3187 5813 d 17 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Get rid of the infamous "Sleep not implemented" panic during low memory
condition. Use a condition variable to implement the sleep. As of now, the
condition is rather coarse and can cause that threads may sleep unnecessarily.
Needs to be fine tuned and based on the amount of memory available.		  
3186 5813 d 17 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Support for active mutexes. Active mutexes implement busy waiting, pretty much
in the same way as spinlocks, but can be passed to condition variables, which is
the motivation for this enhancement.		  
3185 5814 d 17 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ cstyle for frame.c  
3183 5814 d 21 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Avoid easy deadlock while printing slab cache statistics.  
3180 5816 d 3 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ cstyle for slab.c  
3143 5822 d 19 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/ Implement smc_coherence[_block]() for ppc32  
3142 5822 d 20 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Fix build when smc_coherence_block() is defined as an empty macro  
3141 5822 d 23 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Maintain cache coherence when the ELF backend duplicates a frame from an
executable segment.		  
3130 5825 d 4 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Add a comment explaining the reason for a memory barrier after page table update in detail.  
3128 5825 d 17 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Issue a memory barrier after modifying a page table mapping in order to
prevent memory prefetching.		  
3104 5831 d 4 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/ Declare arguments for memstr.h operations as pointers instead of uintptr_t.  
3057 5833 d 21 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ proper printf formatting  
3007 5841 d 17 h jermar /trunk/ Improve linking and loading of boot ELF images.
(Contributed by Jiri Svoboda)		  
2745 5931 d 0 h decky /trunk/ code cleanup (mostly signed/unsigned)
allow extra compiler warnings		  
2725 5951 d 21 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 5956 d 22 h decky /trunk/kernel/ prettyprint output  
2647 6003 d 17 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 6082 d 1 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Rename as_get_size() to as_area_get_size() and add a doxygen comment.  
2467 6189 d 18 h jermar /trunk/ Improve comments for arch-specific implementations of hierarchical
4-level page tables. Improve formatting.		  
2222 6255 d 15 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 6258 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 6263 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.		  
2141 6267 d 12 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 6268 d 16 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 6268 d 17 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Coding style and indentation fixes.  
2132 6269 d 23 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Fix coding style in the address space area backends.  
2128 6310 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 6311 d 13 h decky /trunk/kernel/ small cleanup, more work coming  
2125 6311 d 16 h decky /trunk/ experimental support for Objective C
(disabled by default)
