2228 6290 d 3 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/ Fix ticket #28.
In switch_to_userspace(), the uarg argument is in %i2, not in %i3.
 
2227 6290 d 11 h decky /trunk/kernel/ start shutdown infrastructure  
2216 6291 d 21 h decky /trunk/ make thread ID 64 bit (task ID is 64 bit already)
cleanup thread syscalls
 
2170 6298 d 19 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 6300 d 22 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 6301 d 19 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/mm/ Fix TSB size.  
2143 6302 d 2 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Remove unneeded enum member.  
2141 6302 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 6303 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 6338 d 20 h jermar /trunk/ Fix small problem in sparc64 port.

Bump version to 0.2.0.4 (Sunset).
 
2125 6346 d 21 h decky /trunk/ experimental support for Objective C
(disabled by default)
 
2107 6354 d 20 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 6355 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 6359 d 4 h decky /trunk/kernel/ move ipc structures to ipc.h  
2091 6361 d 0 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/ Fix creating the kkbdpoll() kernel thread on sparc64 SMP machines.
This fixes Ticket #19.
 
2089 6361 d 4 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes
 
2083 6367 d 4 h decky /trunk/kernel/ typedef elimination  
2082 6367 d 4 h decky /trunk/ __asm__ __volatile__ -> asm volatile  
2079 6367 d 22 h decky /trunk/kernel/ remove some typedefs in favor of anonymous structures  
2078 6368 d 0 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 6370 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 6371 d 21 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)  
2068 6379 d 4 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Formatting and indentation fixes.  
2067 6382 d 2 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ More formatting changes.  
2065 6385 d 19 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Coding style fixes and formatting improvements.  
2058 6398 d 6 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/ Improve comments.  
2056 6399 d 9 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Fix mismatched byteswapping macros on sparc64.  
2055 6399 d 9 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/ sparc64 work:
- No need to lock kernel stack and userspace window buffer into DTLB.
 
2054 6399 d 19 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Fix important comment in kernel/arch/sparc64/src/proc/scheduler.c.

Improve framebuffer code.

Formatting and indentation fixes.
 
2049 6403 d 5 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/ More formatting and indentation changes.  
2048 6403 d 22 h jermar /trunk/ Formatting and indentation changes.  
2047 6405 d 20 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Convert sparc64 critical section barriers to RMO memory model.
More portable, no confusion from documentation.
 
2046 6405 d 22 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Another comment fix.  
2045 6405 d 22 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Fix comment.  
2044 6405 d 23 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 6405 d 23 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/ Make the sparc64 kernel compile again.  
2038 6406 d 18 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/ Remove old stuff.

sparc64 is not yet ready for get_cycle().
 
2034 6407 d 3 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ get_cycle() for sparc64.  
2025 6408 d 18 h jermar /trunk/ Coding style fixes.
