3973 5615 d 11 h decky /trunk/kernel/ kernel memory management revisited (phase 2): map physical memory according to zones
- ia32: register reserved and ACPI zones
- pareas are now used only for mapping of present physical memory (hw_area() is gone)
- firmware zones and physical addresses outside any zones are allowed to be mapped generally
- fix nasty antient bug in zones_insert_zone()
 
3940 5622 d 5 h decky /trunk/kernel/ make hw_area API more generic
this allows mapping of EGA VRAM on ia32/amd64
 
3908 5626 d 3 h decky /trunk/ overhaul pareas: use one single physical area for the physical address space not belonging to physical memory  
2141 6317 d 23 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.
 
2116 6368 d 8 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/ddi/ explicit typecast  
2107 6370 d 1 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.
 
2071 6387 d 2 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)  
2015 6426 d 2 h jermar /trunk/ Rework support for virtually indexed cache.
Instead of repeatedly flushing the data cache, which was a huge overkill, refuse to create an illegal address alias
in the kernel (again) and allocate appropriate page color in userspace instead. Extend the detection also to
SYS_PHYSMEM_MAP syscall.

Add support for tracking physical memory areas mappable by SYS_PHYSMEM_MAP.

Lots of coding style changes.
 
2012 6429 d 0 h jermar /trunk/ Eliminate confusion between SYS_MAP_PHYSMEM and sys_physmem_map.
The syscall is to be called SYS_PHYSMEM_MAP from now on and the functions that participate in its implementation are
called *physmem_map().
 
1888 6512 d 5 h jermar /trunk/ C99 compliant header guards (hopefully) everywhere in the kernel.
Formatting and indentation changes.
Small improvements in sparc64.
 
1839 6552 d 6 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ finish security context isolation  
1787 6577 d 4 h decky / move kernel/trunk, uspace/trunk and boot/trunk to trunk/kernel, trunk/uspace and trunk/boot  
1780 6584 d 5 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Replace old __u?? types with respective C99 variants (e.g. uint32_t, int64_t, uintptr_t etc.).  
1708 6602 d 11 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Fix some broken doxygen comments.  
1705 6604 d 11 h cejka /kernel/trunk/ Added file with modules definitions and descriptions.
We are able to change modules order and their description in one place.
 
1702 6605 d 8 h cejka /kernel/trunk/ Kernel doxygen comments updated.  
1589 6613 d 4 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/src/ Improve comments regarding liveliness of threads and tasks.  
1588 6613 d 4 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/src/ In task_kill(), remove the task from the tasks_btree before proceeding.
Thus, when the kernel finds the task in the tasks_btree and locks it before
releasing tasks_lock, it is guaranteed that the task will not be destroyed
until the lock is held. If the kernel needs to unlock the task, do some operation
and lock it again, it should increase its refcount before doing so. In that case,
when releasing the lock, it must decrement the refcount and if it reaches
zero, it must call task_destroy().
 
1494 6616 d 22 h palkovsky /kernel/trunk/generic/ Removes unnecessary parameter for map_physmem syscall.  
1429 6621 d 12 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/ Make ddi_physmem_map() accept address space area flags instead of writable switch.
Thus even these types of address space areas can turn caching on, if it is desired.
