2143 6336 d 13 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Remove unneeded enum member.  
2141 6337 d 5 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 6338 d 9 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 6373 d 8 h jermar /trunk/ Fix small problem in sparc64 port.

Bump version to 0.2.0.4 (Sunset).
 
2106 6389 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 6393 d 16 h decky /trunk/kernel/ move ipc structures to ipc.h  
2089 6395 d 16 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes
 
2083 6401 d 15 h decky /trunk/kernel/ typedef elimination  
2082 6401 d 16 h decky /trunk/ __asm__ __volatile__ -> asm volatile  
2079 6402 d 10 h decky /trunk/kernel/ remove some typedefs in favor of anonymous structures  
2076 6404 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 6406 d 8 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)  
2068 6413 d 16 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Formatting and indentation fixes.  
2065 6420 d 7 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Coding style fixes and formatting improvements.  
2056 6433 d 20 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Fix mismatched byteswapping macros on sparc64.  
2054 6434 d 7 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Fix important comment in kernel/arch/sparc64/src/proc/scheduler.c.

Improve framebuffer code.

Formatting and indentation fixes.
 
2048 6438 d 10 h jermar /trunk/ Formatting and indentation changes.  
2047 6440 d 8 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Convert sparc64 critical section barriers to RMO memory model.
More portable, no confusion from documentation.
 
2046 6440 d 10 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Another comment fix.  
2045 6440 d 10 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Fix comment.  
2044 6440 d 11 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.
 
2038 6441 d 6 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/ Remove old stuff.  
2037 6441 d 7 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Backout change from revision 2034.
sparc64 is not yet ready for get_cycle().
 
2034 6441 d 15 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ get_cycle() for sparc64.  
2025 6443 d 6 h jermar /trunk/ Coding style fixes.  
2023 6443 d 9 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ add dummy cycle.h  
2015 6445 d 9 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.
 
2009 6450 d 8 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Initial support for handling illegal virtual aliases on sparc64.  
2008 6452 d 9 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/ Add dcache_flush() function that flushes D-Cache on sparc64.  
2007 6453 d 7 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.
 
2003 6454 d 13 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ cleanup endian conversion macros  
1984 6465 d 9 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/ sparc64 work:
- untested support for Psycho PCI controller
 
1978 6467 d 9 h jermar /trunk/ sparc64 code to support physical memory that starts on non-zero addresses.
Still needs to be tested on systems with such setup.
 
1976 6473 d 14 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/ sparc64 context does not have to include the CLEANWIN register.  
1954 6489 d 7 h jermar /trunk/ Minor changes. Some coding style fixes and also a type (tee vs. tree).
One AS -> as change.
 
1949 6493 d 16 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/ Remove notes about automatically generated context_offset.h
and replace it with a proper copyright notice.
 
1948 6493 d 19 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Remove broken, outdated and unused gencontext.c utilities.  
1946 6496 d 6 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/ sparc64 work.
- Improve panic screen on data_access_exception
by dumping contents of DSFSR and DSFAR.
- Change the FHC enable interrupt code to only
set the IMAP_V bit.
 
1942 6497 d 8 h jermar /trunk/ Convert ia64 to the new IRQ and notification scheme.  
1921 6501 d 10 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Changes in ns16550 and z8530 drivers.
Add some stuff for IRQ notifications to irq_t.
