2134 6275 d 17 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 6310 d 16 h jermar /trunk/ Fix small problem in sparc64 port.

Bump version to 0.2.0.4 (Sunset).		  
2125 6318 d 17 h decky /trunk/ experimental support for Objective C
(disabled by default)		  
2107 6326 d 15 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 6326 d 23 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 6331 d 0 h decky /trunk/kernel/ move ipc structures to ipc.h  
2091 6332 d 19 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/ Fix creating the kkbdpoll() kernel thread on sparc64 SMP machines.
This fixes Ticket #19.		  
2089 6332 d 23 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes		  
2083 6338 d 23 h decky /trunk/kernel/ typedef elimination  
2082 6339 d 0 h decky /trunk/ __asm__ __volatile__ -> asm volatile  
2079 6339 d 18 h decky /trunk/kernel/ remove some typedefs in favor of anonymous structures  
2078 6339 d 20 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 6342 d 0 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 6343 d 16 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)  
2068 6351 d 0 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Formatting and indentation fixes.  
2067 6353 d 22 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ More formatting changes.  
2065 6357 d 15 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Coding style fixes and formatting improvements.  
2058 6370 d 1 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/ Improve comments.  
2056 6371 d 4 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Fix mismatched byteswapping macros on sparc64.  
2055 6371 d 5 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/ sparc64 work:
- No need to lock kernel stack and userspace window buffer into DTLB.
