2436 6234 d 20 h jermar /trunk/ Fix two memory leaks.

In kernel, kernel_uarg structure needs to be deallocated when a thread
with userspace context is destroyed.

In userspace, the return value of the SYS_THREAD_CREATE must be checked
for error conditions and in case of error, uarg and stack must be freed
up.
 
2359 6247 d 6 h jermar /trunk/ Improve comments for the IPC subsystem.
Fix formatting and indentation.
 
2319 6255 d 6 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/console/ run mcall only on active CPUs  
2310 6257 d 21 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Cleanup the waitq_wakeup() interface.
Replace numeric constants (i.e. 0)
and boolean constants (i.e. false) with
more readable WAKEUP_FIRST. Also change the
type of the second argument of waitq_wakeup()
to a newly introduced type wakeup_mode_t.

Fix behaviour of waitq_wakeup() in case
that WAKEUP_ALL semantics is required
but no threads are sleeping in the wait
queue. This is a similar fix to that of
Jan Hudecek committed in the RCU branch,
but, IMHO, is more straightforward and
also doesn't eat up previous missed
wakeups.
 
2285 6270 d 5 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/proc/ Formatting and indentation fixes.  
2275 6274 d 21 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ add fancy uptime kconsole command  
2272 6275 d 22 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Indentation and formatting fixes.  
2268 6276 d 21 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Document and assert proper usage of THREAD_FLAG_WIRED.
Original patch by Jan Hudecek.
 
2229 6286 d 2 h jermar /trunk/ Revert some of the changes introduced in revision 2209.
I think it is not correct to remove serialization of pseudo threads in printf_core.c.
With thread-level futex serialization, several pseudo threads running in one thread could easily deadlock
the task.

Add a dedicated futex serialization to thread1.c test only.
 
2227 6286 d 10 h decky /trunk/kernel/ start shutdown infrastructure  
2224 6286 d 16 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/console/ detach joined thread  
2223 6286 d 16 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/ add mcall0 command (calling a function on each CPU)  
2222 6286 d 19 h decky /trunk/kernel/ map kernel pages explicitly as writable (this solves compatibility issues with Intel Core 2)
make VESA framebuffer initialization more robust
 
2218 6287 d 17 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)
 
2216 6287 d 20 h decky /trunk/ make thread ID 64 bit (task ID is 64 bit already)
cleanup thread syscalls
 
2211 6287 d 22 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/synch/ reflect the renaming of printflock to printf_lock  
2208 6287 d 22 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ use spinlock only on console output, not other print functions
cleanup
 
2187 6289 d 3 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ add syscall for getting current thread ID  
2185 6289 d 4 h decky /trunk/ rename ipcc to tester  
2184 6289 d 6 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/lib/ add zetta (sextillion) prefix
make constants explicitly unsigned
 
2183 6290 d 0 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Continue to de-oversynchronize the kernel.
- replace as->refcount with an atomic counter; accesses to this
reference counter are not to be done when the as->lock mutex is held;
this gets us rid of mutex_lock_active();

Remove the possibility of a deadlock between TLB shootdown and asidlock.
- get rid of mutex_lock_active() on as->lock
- when locking the asidlock spinlock, always do it conditionally and with
preemption disabled; in the unsuccessful case, enable interrupts and try again
- there should be no deadlock between TLB shootdown and the as->lock mutexes
- PLEASE REVIEW !!!

Add DEADLOCK_PROBE's to places where we have spinlock_trylock() loops.
 
2170 6294 d 18 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.
 
2142 6298 d 1 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/include/mm/ Remove out of date comment.  
2141 6298 d 16 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 6299 d 20 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.
 
2133 6299 d 21 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Coding style and indentation fixes.  
2132 6301 d 3 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Fix coding style in the address space area backends.  
2128 6341 d 21 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.
 
2127 6342 d 6 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/lib/ add forgotten implementation  
2126 6342 d 17 h decky /trunk/kernel/ small cleanup, more work coming
