2141 6359 d 11 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 6360 d 15 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 6395 d 14 h jermar /trunk/ Fix small problem in sparc64 port.

Bump version to 0.2.0.4 (Sunset).
 
2125 6403 d 15 h decky /trunk/ experimental support for Objective C
(disabled by default)
 
2107 6411 d 13 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 6411 d 21 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 6415 d 22 h decky /trunk/kernel/ move ipc structures to ipc.h

This fixes Ticket #19.
 
2089 6417 d 21 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes
 
2083 6423 d 21 h decky /trunk/kernel/ typedef elimination  
2082 6423 d 22 h decky /trunk/ __asm__ __volatile__ -> asm volatile  
2079 6424 d 16 h decky /trunk/kernel/ remove some typedefs in favor of anonymous structures  
2078 6424 d 18 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 6426 d 22 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.

2048 6460 d 16 h jermar /trunk/ Formatting and indentation changes.  
2047 6462 d 14 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Convert sparc64 critical section barriers to RMO memory model.
More portable, no confusion from documentation.
 
2046 6462 d 16 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Another comment fix.  
2045 6462 d 16 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Fix comment.  
2044 6462 d 17 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/ On sparc64's tick interrupt, adjust the TICK_COMPARE register instead of the TICK
register. The TICK register now increments linearily and can be used by the get_cycle()
function.
 
2043 6462 d 17 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/ Make the sparc64 kernel compile again.  
2038 6463 d 12 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/ Remove old stuff.  
2037 6463 d 12 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Backout change from revision 2034.
sparc64 is not yet ready for get_cycle().
 
2034 6463 d 20 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ get_cycle() for sparc64.  
2025 6465 d 12 h jermar /trunk/ Coding style fixes.  
2023 6465 d 15 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ add dummy cycle.h  
2016 6465 d 22 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/mm/ The D-cache line size is actually 32 bytes on UltraSPARC II, IIi (and also IIe).  
2015 6467 d 14 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.
 
2010 6472 d 13 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/mm/ Fix comment.  
2009 6472 d 14 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Initial support for handling illegal virtual aliases on sparc64.  
2008 6474 d 15 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/ Add dcache_flush() function that flushes D-Cache on sparc64.  
2007 6475 d 13 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.
