2134 6272 d 6 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 6273 d 13 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Fix coding style in the address space area backends.  
2089 6329 d 13 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes
 
2076 6338 d 14 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 6340 d 5 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)  
2000 6390 d 15 h decky /trunk/kernel/ move files to more proper locations  
1787 6530 d 8 h decky / move kernel/trunk, uspace/trunk and boot/trunk to trunk/kernel, trunk/uspace and trunk/boot  
1780 6537 d 9 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Replace old __u?? types with respective C99 variants (e.g. uint32_t, int64_t, uintptr_t etc.).  
1760 6548 d 10 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 6551 d 14 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Cleanup of comments.  
1702 6558 d 12 h cejka /kernel/trunk/ Kernel doxygen comments updated.  
1550 6568 d 10 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/src/mm/ Remove left over piece of code for increasing reference count in ELF backend.  
1546 6568 d 11 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/src/mm/ Add reference to shared frames of ELF image backed address space area.  
1426 6575 d 4 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/src/mm/ Support for sharing address space areas backed up by ELF image.  
1425 6575 d 6 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/ Make address space backend data a union.  
1424 6575 d 8 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.
