3743 5606 d 12 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ Started to implement support for sun4v. Bootloader adapted to autodetect the architecture (sun4u, sun4v). Some generic sparc64 kernel files split into sun4u and sun4v versions (but the sun4u is still the default in many cases - in order to keep the code compilable). Implemented taking over the MMU. Implemented routines for performing the hypervisor API calls. Implemented a trivial standard output driver. HelenOS banner can now be printed from the kernel on Niagara.  
3742 5606 d 12 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ The sparc branch synchronized with trunk at revision 3722 (trunk@3722).  
3618 5640 d 2 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.  
3591 5645 d 10 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ Making the code compatible also with US-IV (US-IV+) - TLB size based on CPU autodetection, cleanup of code waking up APs. General cleanup.  
3493 5676 d 3 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ More changes making the code US-III-conformant (mainly in mm).  
3450 5705 d 4 h rimsky /branches/sparc/kernel/arch/sparc64/ Made tlb.h conform US-III specification.  
3440 5706 d 12 h rimsky /branches/sparc/kernel/arch/sparc64/ TLB modifications in order to make functions tlb_print and tlb_invalidate_all work correctly in US-III.  
3343 5735 d 8 h decky /branches/sparc/ add sparc branch  
2745 5909 d 13 h decky /trunk/ code cleanup (mostly signed/unsigned)
allow extra compiler warnings
 
2462 6175 d 4 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Replace gcc-specific __FUNCTION__ with C99 __func__.
suncc's xregs=no%float can be used only on sparc64.
 
2231 6233 d 8 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/ Fix a nasty bug in the TLB miss handlers on sparc64.
After we no longer lock the kernel stack in the DTLB,
there is a real danger of nested DTLB misses. The nested
miss can very easily clobber the DTLB Tag Access register.
Therefore, the original miss may not read this register, but
it has to receive its value as an argument. The argument
value is saved in the trap table when it is guaranteed that
the nested TLB miss will not occur.
 
2141 6246 d 1 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 6247 d 5 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 6304 d 11 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes
 
2078 6311 d 8 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/ When invalidating entire TLBs on sparc64, make sure to also invalidate any (locked) global entries.
This fixes Ticket #21.
Fix a comment in start.S stating that the kernel installs a global entry for itself. All entries installed by the kernel
are local to some memory context.
 
2071 6315 d 4 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)  
2048 6347 d 6 h jermar /trunk/ Formatting and indentation changes.  
2009 6359 d 3 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Initial support for handling illegal virtual aliases on sparc64.  
1996 6371 d 6 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Add option to compile the sparc64 kernel without the TTE_CV bit support.
The bit is not used by default now.
Enabling it may theoretically lead to physical memory inconsistencies until code that
mitigates the problem is written.
 
1946 6405 d 2 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/ sparc64 work.
- Improve panic screen on data_access_exception
by dumping contents of DSFSR and DSFAR.
- Change the FHC enable interrupt code to only
set the IMAP_V bit.
 
1905 6425 d 14 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/ Small fixes.
The sparc64 kernel now compiles again even if not compiled with SMP support.
 
1891 6436 d 3 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ sparc64 work:
- Experimental support for TSB (Translation Storage Buffer).
 
1880 6444 d 3 h jermar /trunk/ Small improvements here and there.  
1870 6449 d 4 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Handle more sparc64 traps and improve handling of already handled traps.  
1868 6449 d 10 h jermar /trunk/ sparc64 work.
- the syscall wrapper needs to use the "memory"
clobber specifier to prevent over-optimization.
- on sparc64, the user address space spans the whole
64-bit space and therefore the macro
USER_ADDRESS_SPACE_SIZE_ARCH, as it was defined,
overflows to 0
- stop using USER_ADDRESS_SPACE_SIZE_ARCH and define
MAX_HEAP_SIZE instead
- in our situation when kernel and user address spaces
are separate, the G (global) bit cannot be used
(there is no point in it anymore)
- add the DEBUG() macro to stdio.h; DEBUG() uses
SYS_IO and is a good debugging tool for getting
early userspace to work
 
1865 6450 d 5 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ sparc64 kernel fixes  
1864 6451 d 1 h jermar /trunk/ sparc64 update.
- Prototype userspace layer implementation that
at least relates to sparc64 and compiles cleanly.
- Fixes for kernel's preemptible_handler and code
related to running userspace.
- Enable userspace. Several dozen instructions
are now run in userspace! We are pretty near
the userspace milestone for sparc64.
 
1860 6454 d 6 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ A lot of untested sparc64 stuff:
- Write ASID to hardware when a thread is about to run in userspace.
- Add userspace() and switch_to_userspace() functions.
- Handle special cases when the userspace spill/fill handler causes MMU trap.
- Resolve some TODOs in the existing sparc64 code.
- sparc64 has now C99 compliant header guards.
- Formatting and indentation fixes.
 
1859 6454 d 13 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/sparc64/ sparc64 work.
- Convert interrupt_vector trap handler and some mm related trap handlers to
use preemptibe_handler(), which is essential for traps coming from userspace.
- Add fast_data_access_protection() handler.
 
1852 6459 d 6 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ sparc64 work.
Bunch of changes in preparation for sparc64 mm and userspace support.
Fix alignment of hardcoded_* variables in linker script.
 
1851 6464 d 11 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ sparc64 work.
Define the istate structure.
Move the identity-mapping handler to assembly.
Make the preemptible handler more general so that TL=1 MMU exceptions can make use of it.

Little bit of formatting and indentation.
 
1842 6476 d 11 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ i8042 and z8530 separated, the tree compiles again.
Now there is some duplicated code in i8042.c and z8530.c,
but that can be eliminated in slower pace.
 
1793 6502 d 13 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Change hw_map() on sparc64 to use virtual addresses that are
beyond the end of physical memory. It is beneficial in two
ways: first, physical memory is no longer being wasted by
otherwise necessary calls to frame_alloc() and, second,
virtual addresses for devices are now correctly allocated
and do not overlap with the 4M TLB-locked mapping for
kernel text and data.
 
1792 6503 d 2 h jermar /trunk/ Move functionality of tlb_arch_init() to take_over_tlb_and_tt().
Call take_over_tlb_and_tt() very early after the kernel starts
executing.
 
1787 6505 d 6 h decky / move kernel/trunk, uspace/trunk and boot/trunk to trunk/kernel, trunk/uspace and trunk/boot  
1780 6512 d 7 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Replace old __u?? types with respective C99 variants (e.g. uint32_t, int64_t, uintptr_t etc.).  
1735 6528 d 14 h decky /kernel/trunk/ make kernel prints case consistent  
1702 6533 d 10 h cejka /kernel/trunk/ Kernel doxygen comments updated.  
1221 6585 d 2 h decky /kernel/trunk/ printf-related and other code cleanup  
1196 6591 d 11 h cejka /kernel/trunk/ Printf ported back from uspace to kernel.
Printf calls changed to match new conventions.
