3343 5768 d 5 h decky /branches/sparc/ add sparc branch  
3233 5791 d 6 h decky /trunk/ remove dummy page coloring facility, which is currenty not used  
2141 6278 d 22 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.
 
2105 6335 d 9 h decky /trunk/kernel/ move ipc structures to ipc.h  
2089 6337 d 8 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes
 
2071 6348 d 1 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)  
2048 6380 d 2 h jermar /trunk/ Formatting and indentation changes.  
2007 6394 d 23 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Introduce page colors. So far, only sparc64 uses correct page color bits. Other architectures have a dummy define
specifying zero bits for a page color.

There is a new check of page color in as_area_share(). Because of lack of support for this in the userspace, the
check has been #ifef'ed out.
 
1978 6409 d 1 h jermar /trunk/ sparc64 code to support physical memory that starts on non-zero addresses.
Still needs to be tested on systems with such setup.
 
1857 6488 d 6 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/ sparc64 work.
More bits needed to reach the userspace milestone were added.
The preemptible_handler(), still a prototype, now contains all functionality it needs.
Some sanitation was added to functions expecting page-aligned pointers to
userspace window buffer.
 
1822 6517 d 10 h jermar /trunk/ sparc64 work.
1. Formatting fixes.
2. When writing to DMMU ASI's, simple membar() can be used in place of flush().
3. Substantial changes in the way the TLB is taken over.
4. Remove unneeded functions.

This is the first revision that also runs on a real world Ultra 5 with UltraSPARC IIi
processor.

Note that 3. needs further work as the current implementation depends on the fact
that the compiler will use registers for local variables in take_over_tlb_and_tt().
Rewrite of that function into assembly is to follow.
 
1787 6538 d 3 h decky / move kernel/trunk, uspace/trunk and boot/trunk to trunk/kernel, trunk/uspace and trunk/boot  
1780 6545 d 4 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Replace old __u?? types with respective C99 variants (e.g. uint32_t, int64_t, uintptr_t etc.).  
1702 6566 d 7 h cejka /kernel/trunk/ Kernel doxygen comments updated.  
1108 6648 d 23 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Small PTE_* macros and SET_PTL0_ADDRESS macro changes.  
977 6657 d 7 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Add sys_mremap() syscall.  
967 6657 d 11 h palkovsky /kernel/trunk/ Allowed userspace to include page.h.  
792 6693 d 7 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Page hash table architectures now use generic hash table to manage
mappings.
 
765 6697 d 0 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Add PAGE_WIDTH to aid divisions by PAGE_SIZE.  
758 6697 d 22 h jermar /kernel/trunk/arch/ sparc64 bugfix.
When disabling IMMU and DMMU the kernel has to perform synchronization operation
(e.g flush %r or membar #Sync instruction). There is no guarantee that the address
contained in %r is in DTLB and therefore the flush instruction can fault. Normally
this would be recognized and fixed by the OpenFirmware Fast Data MMU fault handler.
However, this handler lives in virtually mapped memory and an attempt to execute
there while the MMUs are disabled would result in a nested trap leading to error state.
Replacing flush %r instruction with membar #Sync, wich is sufficient in this case,
fixes this problem.
