3233 5782 d 6 h decky /trunk/ remove dummy page coloring facility, which is currenty not used  
3145 5824 d 13 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ On sparc64, when the operand to the FLUSH instruction doesn't matter, the
instruction's semantics is to flush the pipeline.
 
3134 5825 d 11 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/ Add smc_coherence_block().  
3133 5826 d 0 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/ Add smc_coherence() macro to all architectures.
So far, only amd64, ia32, ia64 and sparc64 are implemented.
 
3104 5833 d 13 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/ Declare arguments for memstr.h operations as pointers instead of uintptr_t.  
3071 5836 d 6 h decky /trunk/kernel/ reflect changes in generic code
proper formatting directives
coding style
 
3070 5836 d 6 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ introduce portable formatting directives
remove common types
 
2860 5885 d 1 h cejka /trunk/ Context handling unified for sparc64.  
2797 5897 d 1 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Each architecture should only announce its endianity.
The conversion macros should be defined only once.
 
2794 5898 d 1 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Add macros for byte swapping of uint16_t's.  
2725 5954 d 7 h decky /trunk/kernel/ remove config.memory_size, get_memory_size() and memory_init.{c|d}
the amount of available memory can be calculated from the sizes of the zones
add FRAMES2SIZE, SIZE2KB and SIZE2MB functions/macros (code readability)
 
2721 5955 d 7 h decky /trunk/kernel/ convert e820list to a generic physmem command  
2610 6036 d 5 h jermar /trunk/ Support for six syscall arguments for sparc64.
There is a minor stability issue which needs to be fixed (kernel panics upon entering kconsole from the
console task).
 
2510 6108 d 1 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Experimental support for the cgsix framebuffer, which is found on old Ultra 1
worksations, and the SBUS bus and devices. Not tested.
 
2272 6247 d 3 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Indentation and formatting fixes.  
2231 6257 d 5 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/ Fix a nasty bug in the TLB miss handlers on sparc64.
After we no longer lock the kernel stack in the DTLB,
there is a real danger of nested DTLB misses. The nested
miss can very easily clobber the DTLB Tag Access register.
Therefore, the original miss may not read this register, but
it has to receive its value as an argument. The argument
value is saved in the trap table when it is guaranteed that
the nested TLB miss will not occur.
 
2216 6259 d 1 h decky /trunk/ make thread ID 64 bit (task ID is 64 bit already)
cleanup thread syscalls
 
2143 6269 d 5 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Remove unneeded enum member.  
2141 6269 d 21 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 6271 d 1 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.
