2141 6287 d 21 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 6289 d 2 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 6290 d 8 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Fix coding style in the address space area backends.  
2089 6346 d 8 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes
 
2076 6355 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 6357 d 1 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)  
2000 6407 d 10 h decky /trunk/kernel/ move files to more proper locations  
1787 6547 d 3 h decky / move kernel/trunk, uspace/trunk and boot/trunk to trunk/kernel, trunk/uspace and trunk/boot  
1780 6554 d 4 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Replace old __u?? types with respective C99 variants (e.g. uint32_t, int64_t, uintptr_t etc.).  
1760 6565 d 5 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 6568 d 9 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Cleanup of comments.  
1702 6575 d 7 h cejka /kernel/trunk/ Kernel doxygen comments updated.  
1550 6585 d 5 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/src/mm/ Remove left over piece of code for increasing reference count in ELF backend.  
1546 6585 d 7 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/src/mm/ Add reference to shared frames of ELF image backed address space area.  
1426 6591 d 23 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/src/mm/ Support for sharing address space areas backed up by ELF image.  
1425 6592 d 1 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/ Make address space backend data a union.  
1424 6592 d 3 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Move the sharing functionality to address space area backends.
Add backend for continuous regions of physical memory.
Sharing for these areas works automagically now.
