2141 6268 d 9 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 6269 d 13 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.
 
2133 6269 d 14 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Coding style and indentation fixes.  
2132 6270 d 20 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Fix coding style in the address space area backends.  
2128 6311 d 14 h jermar /trunk/ Add arm32 architecture. The 32 suffix is used to specify that 16-bit Thumb
instructions are not used. The arm32 code is mostly composed of placeholders
that need to be replaced by real implementation. So far, the arm32 tree
only compiles. If run under GXEmul simulator, an infinit loop at the
kernel entry point will be entered.
 
2126 6312 d 10 h decky /trunk/kernel/ small cleanup, more work coming  
2125 6312 d 13 h decky /trunk/ experimental support for Objective C
(disabled by default)
 
2124 6312 d 15 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ implement simple realloc()  
2123 6318 d 17 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ add forgotten unsigned  
2122 6318 d 17 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ explicit typecast, fix signed/unsigned comparison  
2121 6318 d 18 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ remove anonymous structure, add static qualifier  
2106 6320 d 19 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.
 
2094 6325 d 15 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ avoid conflict with potential keyword  
2089 6326 d 19 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes
 
2087 6327 d 15 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Indentaion and formatting changes even Martin will like :-)  
2083 6332 d 19 h decky /trunk/kernel/ typedef elimination  
2076 6335 d 21 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 6337 d 12 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)  
2069 6339 d 11 h jermar /trunk/ Improve formatting.  
2059 6360 d 21 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Improve indentation and formatting.
