2216 6266 d 3 h decky /trunk/ make thread ID 64 bit (task ID is 64 bit already)
cleanup thread syscalls		  
2143 6276 d 7 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Remove unneeded enum member.  
2141 6276 d 23 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 6278 d 3 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 6313 d 2 h jermar /trunk/ Fix small problem in sparc64 port.

Bump version to 0.2.0.4 (Sunset).		  
2106 6329 d 9 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 6333 d 10 h decky /trunk/kernel/ move ipc structures to ipc.h  
2089 6335 d 9 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes		  
2083 6341 d 9 h decky /trunk/kernel/ typedef elimination  
2082 6341 d 10 h decky /trunk/ __asm__ __volatile__ -> asm volatile  
2079 6342 d 4 h decky /trunk/kernel/ remove some typedefs in favor of anonymous structures  
2076 6344 d 10 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 6346 d 2 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)  
2068 6353 d 10 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Formatting and indentation fixes.  
2065 6360 d 1 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Coding style fixes and formatting improvements.  
2056 6373 d 14 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Fix mismatched byteswapping macros on sparc64.  
2054 6374 d 1 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Fix important comment in kernel/arch/sparc64/src/proc/scheduler.c.

Improve framebuffer code.

Formatting and indentation fixes.		  
2048 6378 d 4 h jermar /trunk/ Formatting and indentation changes.  
2047 6380 d 2 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Convert sparc64 critical section barriers to RMO memory model.
More portable, no confusion from documentation.		  
2046 6380 d 4 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Another comment fix.
