2134 6282 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 6317 d 8 h jermar /trunk/ Fix small problem in sparc64 port.

Bump version to 0.2.0.4 (Sunset).		  
2106 6333 d 15 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 6337 d 16 h decky /trunk/kernel/ move ipc structures to ipc.h  
2089 6339 d 15 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes		  
2083 6345 d 15 h decky /trunk/kernel/ typedef elimination  
2082 6345 d 16 h decky /trunk/ __asm__ __volatile__ -> asm volatile  
2079 6346 d 10 h decky /trunk/kernel/ remove some typedefs in favor of anonymous structures  
2076 6348 d 16 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 6350 d 8 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)  
2068 6357 d 16 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Formatting and indentation fixes.  
2065 6364 d 7 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Coding style fixes and formatting improvements.  
2056 6377 d 20 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Fix mismatched byteswapping macros on sparc64.  
2054 6378 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 6382 d 10 h jermar /trunk/ Formatting and indentation changes.  
2047 6384 d 7 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Convert sparc64 critical section barriers to RMO memory model.
More portable, no confusion from documentation.		  
2046 6384 d 10 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Another comment fix.  
2045 6384 d 10 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Fix comment.  
2044 6384 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 6385 d 6 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/ Remove old stuff.
