2134 6286 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.		  
2129 6321 d 0 h jermar /trunk/ Fix small problem in sparc64 port.

Bump version to 0.2.0.4 (Sunset).		  
2125 6329 d 1 h decky /trunk/ experimental support for Objective C
(disabled by default)		  
2107 6337 d 0 h jermar /trunk/ When clock() is called by an external interrupt dispatched by the IRQ dispatcher,
no spinlock can be held or the kernel will not be preemptive. This fixes Ticket #24.

Formating and indentation fixes.		  
2106 6337 d 8 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 6341 d 8 h decky /trunk/kernel/ move ipc structures to ipc.h  
2091 6343 d 4 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/ Fix creating the kkbdpoll() kernel thread on sparc64 SMP machines.
This fixes Ticket #19.		  
2089 6343 d 8 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes		  
2083 6349 d 7 h decky /trunk/kernel/ typedef elimination  
2082 6349 d 8 h decky /trunk/ __asm__ __volatile__ -> asm volatile  
2079 6350 d 2 h decky /trunk/kernel/ remove some typedefs in favor of anonymous structures  
2078 6350 d 4 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/ When invalidating entire TLBs on sparc64, make sure to also invalidate any (locked) global entries.
This fixes Ticket #21.
Fix a comment in start.S stating that the kernel installs a global entry for itself. All entries installed by the kernel
are local to some memory context.		  
2076 6352 d 9 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 6354 d 0 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)  
2068 6361 d 8 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Formatting and indentation fixes.  
2067 6364 d 6 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ More formatting changes.  
2065 6367 d 23 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Coding style fixes and formatting improvements.  
2058 6380 d 10 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/ Improve comments.  
2056 6381 d 12 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/include/ Fix mismatched byteswapping macros on sparc64.  
2055 6381 d 13 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/ sparc64 work:
- No need to lock kernel stack and userspace window buffer into DTLB.
