2233 6277 d 8 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ use the hlt instruction more properly  
2232 6277 d 9 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/mips32/src/ add support for halt/reboot in MSIM  
2231 6277 d 13 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.
 
2228 6277 d 16 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/ Fix ticket #28.
In switch_to_userspace(), the uarg argument is in %i2, not in %i3.
 
2227 6277 d 23 h decky /trunk/kernel/ start shutdown infrastructure  
2225 6277 d 23 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/mips32/ the bss and common sections have to be in .data output section to be properly generated in the binary image
(this might break IRIX, but it is already unmaintaned)
 
2222 6278 d 8 h decky /trunk/kernel/ map kernel pages explicitly as writable (this solves compatibility issues with Intel Core 2)
make VESA framebuffer initialization more robust
 
2221 6278 d 10 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ia32/src/boot/ fix typo in comment  
2220 6278 d 10 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ia32/src/boot/ check for PSE support, add error message on PSE not present
make initial mapping explicitly writeable, turn PAE explicitly off (just in case)
 
2219 6278 d 11 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/amd64/src/boot/ add error message on no long mode support  
2218 6279 d 6 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)
 
2217 6279 d 7 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/ia32/src/smp/ On SMP amd64 and ia32 systems, release the irq->lock
before calling clock() from the interrupt handler.
This is important for maintaining kernel preemption
since no preemption can take place while a spinlock
is held.
 
2216 6279 d 9 h decky /trunk/ make thread ID 64 bit (task ID is 64 bit already)
cleanup thread syscalls
 
2170 6286 d 7 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.
 
2161 6288 d 10 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/mm/ Fix TSB bug during TSB refill.
When one wants to enable a TSB entry, he or she should set the
entry invalid bit to false, as opposed to setting it to true.
 
2144 6289 d 7 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/mm/ Fix TSB size.  
2143 6289 d 14 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Remove unneeded enum member.  
2141 6290 d 6 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 6291 d 10 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 6326 d 8 h jermar /trunk/ Fix small problem in sparc64 port.

Bump version to 0.2.0.4 (Sunset).
 
2128 6333 d 10 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.
 
2125 6334 d 9 h decky /trunk/ experimental support for Objective C
(disabled by default)
 
2110 6341 d 8 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/ia64/ Minor cleanup in ia64.  
2107 6342 d 8 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.
 
2106 6342 d 16 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 6346 d 16 h decky /trunk/kernel/ move ipc structures to ipc.h  
2101 6347 d 10 h decky /trunk/kernel/ fix signed/unsigned comparison and integer overflow  
2100 6347 d 11 h decky /trunk/kernel/ signed/unsigned comparison, explicit typecast  
2099 6347 d 11 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ia32/src/ explicit cast on pointer arithmetic  
2097 6347 d 11 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ia32/src/smp/ fix signed/unsigned comparison  
2095 6347 d 12 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ia32/src/smp/ fix signed/unsigned comparison  
2091 6348 d 12 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/ Fix creating the kkbdpoll() kernel thread on sparc64 SMP machines.
This fixes Ticket #19.
 
2089 6348 d 16 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes
 
2087 6349 d 12 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Indentaion and formatting changes even Martin will like :-)  
2083 6354 d 16 h decky /trunk/kernel/ typedef elimination  
2082 6354 d 16 h decky /trunk/ __asm__ __volatile__ -> asm volatile  
2079 6355 d 10 h decky /trunk/kernel/ remove some typedefs in favor of anonymous structures  
2078 6355 d 12 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/ When invalidating entire TLBs on sparc64, make sure to also invalidate any (locked) global entries.
This fixes Ticket #21.
Fix a comment in start.S stating that the kernel installs a global entry for itself. All entries installed by the kernel
are local to some memory context.
 
2076 6357 d 17 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 6359 d 9 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)
