4638 5421 d 16 h rimsky /branches/sparc/kernel/ SMP on Niagara made working: debugged the problem with the 'non-deterministic' symptoms, implemented the IPI mechanism.  
4130 5541 d 12 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 5579 d 9 h rimsky /branches/sparc/kernel/ Changed the structure of header files, which have sun4u and sun4v versions. Implemented some sun4v TSB functions.  
3798 5597 d 9 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 5609 d 10 h rimsky /branches/sparc/kernel/arch/sparc64/ Machine description traversal implemented. Now used to detect CPU frequency.  
3771 5612 d 10 h rimsky /branches/sparc/kernel/arch/sparc64/ Forgotten files comitted to repository.  
3664 5643 d 9 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 5653 d 9 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 5663 d 22 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ Made changes making HelenOS run on US-IV CPUs. Minor refactoring of the SGCN driver.  
3489 5696 d 13 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ More files made conform the US-III specification. (Changes concern mainly TSB.)  
3479 5707 d 18 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 5714 d 10 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 5748 d 15 h decky /branches/sparc/ add sparc branch  
3071 5825 d 17 h decky /trunk/kernel/ reflect changes in generic code
proper formatting directives
coding style
 
2272 6236 d 13 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Indentation and formatting fixes.  
2141 6259 d 8 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 6260 d 12 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 6317 d 18 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes
 
2071 6328 d 11 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)  
2055 6356 d 0 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/ sparc64 work:
- No need to lock kernel stack and userspace window buffer into DTLB.
 
2049 6359 d 20 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/ More formatting and indentation changes.  
2038 6363 d 9 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/ Remove old stuff.  
2009 6372 d 11 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Initial support for handling illegal virtual aliases on sparc64.  
1917 6428 d 12 h jermar /trunk/ sparc64 work:
- hw_map() can now support up to 8M requests
- CPU stacks are now locked in DTLB of the respective processor
- kernel in the boot phase no longer relies on the stack provided by OpenFirmware
- instead of of doing FLUSHW during kernel startup, simply set the
window state registers to the wanted state
- NWINDOW -> NWINDOWS
- Add/fix some comments and copyrights.
 
1903 6440 d 12 h jermar /trunk/ SMP stuff for sparc64.
Almost complete except for IPIs.
The absence of IPI support deadlocks
the kernel when more CPUs are configured.
 
1899 6441 d 19 h jermar /trunk/ sparc64 work:
- Loader now starts all processors.
- Kernel halts all but the bootstrup processor for now.
- Read clock-frequency from the respective processor node in the device tree
 
1881 6455 d 19 h jermar /trunk/ sparc64 work:
- find a CPU node and read its clock_frequency attribute
- implement asm_delay_loop()
- set TICK_COMPARE register according to processor frequency
- small improvements at random places

OpenFirmware work:
- two new functions for walking the device tree

Generic boot loader work:
- added basic string functions

Usual pile of indentation and formatting fixes.
 
1787 6518 d 13 h decky / move kernel/trunk, uspace/trunk and boot/trunk to trunk/kernel, trunk/uspace and trunk/boot  
1731 6542 d 7 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Updates in Doxygen-style comments.
Make architecture specific modules appear conditionally in the documentation.
Add time management module.
Improve names of other modules and sort module order
to be more like in the design documentation.
 
1705 6545 d 20 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 6546 d 17 h cejka /kernel/trunk/ Kernel doxygen comments updated.  
640 6724 d 8 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ sparc64 work.
CPU identification.
