2134 6257 d 1 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 6258 d 8 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Fix coding style in the address space area backends.  
2089 6314 d 7 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes
 
2076 6323 d 8 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 6325 d 0 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)  
2000 6375 d 10 h decky /trunk/kernel/ move files to more proper locations  
1787 6515 d 2 h decky / move kernel/trunk, uspace/trunk and boot/trunk to trunk/kernel, trunk/uspace and trunk/boot  
1780 6522 d 3 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Replace old __u?? types with respective C99 variants (e.g. uint32_t, int64_t, uintptr_t etc.).  
1760 6533 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 6536 d 8 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Cleanup of comments.  
1702 6543 d 6 h cejka /kernel/trunk/ Kernel doxygen comments updated.  
1550 6553 d 4 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/src/mm/ Remove left over piece of code for increasing reference count in ELF backend.  
1546 6553 d 6 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/src/mm/ Add reference to shared frames of ELF image backed address space area.  
1426 6559 d 23 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/src/mm/ Support for sharing address space areas backed up by ELF image.  
1425 6560 d 1 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/ Make address space backend data a union.  
1424 6560 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.
