4490 5578 d 0 h decky /trunk/kernel/ remove redundant index_t and count_t types (which were always quite ambiguous and not actually needed)  
3790 5724 d 7 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/ Make newlines in panic messages consistent. Add periods at end of messages so that it is obvious whether they are printed entirely.  
3382 5852 d 22 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Fix the rare case when the anon or ELF backend uses PFN 0 for mapping.  
3104 5940 d 12 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/ Declare arguments for memstr.h operations as pointers instead of uintptr_t.  
2745 6040 d 8 h decky /trunk/ code cleanup (mostly signed/unsigned)
allow extra compiler warnings
 
2141 6376 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 6378 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.
 
2132 6379 d 7 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Fix coding style in the address space area backends.  
2089 6435 d 6 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes
 
2076 6444 d 7 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 6445 d 23 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)  
1954 6528 d 22 h jermar /trunk/ Minor changes. Some coding style fixes and also a type (tee vs. tree).
One AS -> as change.
 
1787 6636 d 1 h decky / move kernel/trunk, uspace/trunk and boot/trunk to trunk/kernel, trunk/uspace and trunk/boot  
1780 6643 d 2 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Replace old __u?? types with respective C99 variants (e.g. uint32_t, int64_t, uintptr_t etc.).  
1760 6654 d 4 h palkovsky /kernel/trunk/ Changed interface of frame_alloc/free to use address of frame instead of the pfn.
This makes it impossible to use >4GB of memory on 32-bit machines, but who cares...
 
1757 6657 d 7 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Cleanup of comments.  
1702 6664 d 5 h cejka /kernel/trunk/ Kernel doxygen comments updated.  
1545 6674 d 5 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/src/mm/ Add reference to shared frames of anonymous address space area.  
1426 6680 d 22 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/src/mm/ Support for sharing address space areas backed up by ELF image.  
1425 6681 d 0 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/ Make address space backend data a union.
