3664 5666 d 21 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ Added some SunBlade 1500 stuff (part of it is just temporary - e.g. the new visual). Some small fixes and enhancements.  
3618 5676 d 21 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ Support for framebuffers, where the first pixel is mapped to a different address than the OBP 'reg' property claims. Cleanup, comments, C-style.  
3582 5687 d 10 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ Made changes making HelenOS run on US-IV CPUs. Minor refactoring of the SGCN driver.  
3489 5720 d 1 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ More files made conform the US-III specification. (Changes concern mainly TSB.)  
3479 5731 d 6 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ Names containing 'UPA' replaced with strings containing more general 'ICBUS'. SMART_FIRMWARE option replaced with CPU autodetection + new option CONFIG_A_OUT_ISOFS_B.  
3467 5737 d 22 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ SMP and CPU initialiation modified to work even with Serengeti OFW tree layout; support for output to the Simics CLI console added (see my blog); some header files modified to conform US-III definition. Now HelenOS (on the sample configuration - usiii.simics) is able to run some userspace tasks.  
3343 5772 d 3 h decky /branches/sparc/ add sparc branch  
3071 5849 d 5 h decky /trunk/kernel/ reflect changes in generic code
proper formatting directives
coding style		  
2272 6260 d 1 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Indentation and formatting fixes.  
2141 6282 d 20 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 6284 d 0 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.		  
2089 6341 d 6 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes		  
2071 6351 d 23 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)  
2055 6379 d 12 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/ sparc64 work:
- No need to lock kernel stack and userspace window buffer into DTLB.		  
2049 6383 d 8 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/ More formatting and indentation changes.  
2038 6386 d 21 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/ Remove old stuff.  
2009 6395 d 23 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Initial support for handling illegal virtual aliases on sparc64.  
1917 6452 d 0 h jermar /trunk/ sparc64 work:
- hw_map() can now support up to 8M requests
- CPU stacks are now locked in DTLB of the respective processor
- kernel in the boot phase no longer relies on the stack provided by OpenFirmware
- instead of of doing FLUSHW during kernel startup, simply set the
window state registers to the wanted state
- NWINDOW -> NWINDOWS
- Add/fix some comments and copyrights.		  
1903 6464 d 0 h jermar /trunk/ SMP stuff for sparc64.
Almost complete except for IPIs.
The absence of IPI support deadlocks
the kernel when more CPUs are configured.		  
1899 6465 d 7 h jermar /trunk/ sparc64 work:
- Loader now starts all processors.
- Kernel halts all but the bootstrup processor for now.
- Read clock-frequency from the respective processor node in the device tree
