3493 5774 d 21 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ More changes making the code US-III-conformant (mainly in mm).  
3492 5777 d 23 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ Changes in trunk merged into the sparc branch. SILO's ramdisk issue solved by the CONFIG_RD_EXTERNAL option.  
3489 5781 d 23 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ More files made conform the US-III specification. (Changes concern mainly TSB.)  
3479 5793 d 4 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ Names containing 'UPA' replaced with strings containing more general 'ICBUS'. SMART_FIRMWARE option replaced with CPU autodetection + new option CONFIG_A_OUT_ISOFS_B.

3145 5899 d 9 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ On sparc64, when the operand to the FLUSH instruction doesn't matter, the
instruction's semantics is to flush the pipeline.
 
3134 5900 d 7 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/ Add smc_coherence_block().  
3133 5900 d 21 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/ Add smc_coherence() macro to all architectures.
So far, only amd64, ia32, ia64 and sparc64 are implemented.
 
3104 5908 d 10 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/ Declare arguments for memstr.h operations as pointers instead of uintptr_t.  
3071 5911 d 3 h decky /trunk/kernel/ reflect changes in generic code
proper formatting directives
coding style
 
3070 5911 d 3 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ introduce portable formatting directives
remove common types
 
2860 5959 d 22 h cejka /trunk/ Context handling unified for sparc64.  
2797 5971 d 22 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Each architecture should only announce its endianity.
The conversion macros should be defined only once.
 
2794 5972 d 22 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Add macros for byte swapping of uint16_t's.  
2725 6029 d 3 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)
 
2721 6030 d 4 h decky /trunk/kernel/ convert e820list to a generic physmem command  
2610 6111 d 1 h jermar /trunk/ Support for six syscall arguments for sparc64.
There is a minor stability issue which needs to be fixed (kernel panics upon entering kconsole from the
console task).
 
2510 6182 d 22 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Experimental support for the cgsix framebuffer, which is found on old Ultra 1
worksations, and the SBUS bus and devices. Not tested.
 
2272 6321 d 23 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Indentation and formatting fixes.  
2231 6332 d 1 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/ Fix a nasty bug in the TLB miss handlers on sparc64.
After we no longer lock the kernel stack in the DTLB,
there is a real danger of nested DTLB misses. The nested
miss can very easily clobber the DTLB Tag Access register.
Therefore, the original miss may not read this register, but
it has to receive its value as an argument. The argument
value is saved in the trap table when it is guaranteed that
the nested TLB miss will not occur.
 
2216 6333 d 22 h decky /trunk/ make thread ID 64 bit (task ID is 64 bit already)
cleanup thread syscalls
 
2143 6344 d 2 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Remove unneeded enum member.  
2141 6344 d 18 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 6345 d 22 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.
 
2129 6380 d 21 h jermar /trunk/ Fix small problem in sparc64 port.

Bump version to 0.2.0.4 (Sunset).
 
2106 6397 d 4 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 6401 d 5 h decky /trunk/kernel/ move ipc structures to ipc.h  
2089 6403 d 4 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes
 
2083 6409 d 4 h decky /trunk/kernel/ typedef elimination  
2082 6409 d 5 h decky /trunk/ __asm__ __volatile__ -> asm volatile  
2079 6409 d 23 h decky /trunk/kernel/ remove some typedefs in favor of anonymous structures  
2076 6412 d 5 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 6413 d 21 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)  
2068 6421 d 5 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Formatting and indentation fixes.
