4638 5404 d 22 h rimsky /branches/sparc/kernel/ SMP on Niagara made working: debugged the problem with the 'non-deterministic' symptoms, implemented the IPI mechanism.  
4130 5524 d 18 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ Cleanup of the Niagara port. The main purpose of these changes is to make it easy to find out which code is generic, which is sun4u-specific and which is sun4v-specific.  
3862 5562 d 15 h rimsky /branches/sparc/kernel/ Changed the structure of header files, which have sun4u and sun4v versions. Implemented some sun4v TSB functions.  
3798 5580 d 15 h rimsky /branches/sparc/kernel/ Implemented preemptible trap handler for sun4v for trapping from kernel (not userspace). Not properly tested/debugged yet. HelenOS now reaches the as_install_arch function (where it, of course, fails).  
3783 5592 d 16 h rimsky /branches/sparc/kernel/arch/sparc64/ Machine description traversal implemented. Now used to detect CPU frequency.  
3771 5595 d 16 h rimsky /branches/sparc/kernel/arch/sparc64/ Forgotten files comitted to repository.  
3664 5626 d 15 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ Added some SunBlade 1500 stuff (part of it is just temporary - e.g. the new visual). Some small fixes and enhancements.  
3618 5636 d 15 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ Support for framebuffers, where the first pixel is mapped to a different address than the OBP 'reg' property claims. Cleanup, comments, C-style.  
3582 5647 d 4 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ Made changes making HelenOS run on US-IV CPUs. Minor refactoring of the SGCN driver.  
3489 5679 d 19 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ More files made conform the US-III specification. (Changes concern mainly TSB.)  
3479 5690 d 23 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ Names containing 'UPA' replaced with strings containing more general 'ICBUS'. SMART_FIRMWARE option replaced with CPU autodetection + new option CONFIG_A_OUT_ISOFS_B.  
3467 5697 d 16 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ SMP and CPU initialiation modified to work even with Serengeti OFW tree layout; support for output to the Simics CLI console added (see my blog); some header files modified to conform US-III definition. Now HelenOS (on the sample configuration - usiii.simics) is able to run some userspace tasks.  
3343 5731 d 21 h decky /branches/sparc/ add sparc branch  
3071 5808 d 22 h decky /trunk/kernel/ reflect changes in generic code
proper formatting directives
coding style
 
2272 6219 d 19 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Indentation and formatting fixes.  
2141 6242 d 14 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 6243 d 18 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.
 
2089 6301 d 0 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes
 
2071 6311 d 17 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)  
2055 6339 d 5 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/ sparc64 work:
- No need to lock kernel stack and userspace window buffer into DTLB.
