2227 6255 d 0 h decky /trunk/kernel/ start shutdown infrastructure  
2225 6255 d 0 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/mips32/ the bss and common sections have to be in .data output section to be properly generated in the binary image
(this might break IRIX, but it is already unmaintaned)
 
2224 6255 d 7 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/console/ detach joined thread  
2223 6255 d 7 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/ add mcall0 command (calling a function on each CPU)  
2222 6255 d 10 h decky /trunk/kernel/ map kernel pages explicitly as writable (this solves compatibility issues with Intel Core 2)
make VESA framebuffer initialization more robust
 
2221 6255 d 11 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ia32/src/boot/ fix typo in comment  
2220 6255 d 11 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ia32/src/boot/ check for PSE support, add error message on PSE not present
make initial mapping explicitly writeable, turn PAE explicitly off (just in case)
 
2219 6255 d 13 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/amd64/src/boot/ add error message on no long mode support  
2218 6256 d 7 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)
 
2217 6256 d 8 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/ia32/src/smp/ On SMP amd64 and ia32 systems, release the irq->lock
before calling clock() from the interrupt handler.
This is important for maintaining kernel preemption
since no preemption can take place while a spinlock
is held.
 
2216 6256 d 10 h decky /trunk/ make thread ID 64 bit (task ID is 64 bit already)
cleanup thread syscalls
 
2211 6256 d 12 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/synch/ reflect the renaming of printflock to printf_lock  
2210 6256 d 12 h decky /trunk/ use more useful values  
2208 6256 d 13 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ use spinlock only on console output, not other print functions
cleanup
 
2188 6257 d 16 h decky /trunk/ new user space testing framework (unfinished)  
2187 6257 d 18 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ add syscall for getting current thread ID  
2185 6257 d 18 h decky /trunk/ rename ipcc to tester  
2184 6257 d 20 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/lib/ add zetta (sextillion) prefix
make constants explicitly unsigned
 
2183 6258 d 14 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 6263 d 8 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.
