3397 5721 d 6 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ Merged recent changes from trunk into the Sparc branch.  
3343 5745 d 2 h decky /branches/sparc/ add sparc branch  
3143 5811 d 3 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/ Implement smc_coherence[_block]() for ppc32  
3142 5811 d 3 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Fix build when smc_coherence_block() is defined as an empty macro  
3141 5811 d 6 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Maintain cache coherence when the ELF backend duplicates a frame from an
executable segment.
 
3104 5819 d 12 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/ Declare arguments for memstr.h operations as pointers instead of uintptr_t.  
3007 5830 d 0 h jermar /trunk/ Improve linking and loading of boot ELF images.

2745 5919 d 7 h decky /trunk/ code cleanup (mostly signed/unsigned)
allow extra compiler warnings
 
2647 5992 d 0 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Fix a bug in anonymous address space area sharing. Call the backend's share
function only if the source area is not already shared. Otherwise increment the
sh_info refcount. Without this fix, the kernel will try to recreate the pagemap
if three and more address space areas attempt to share the same data.
 
2467 6178 d 1 h jermar /trunk/ Improve comments for arch-specific implementations of hierarchical
4-level page tables. Improve formatting.
 
2141 6255 d 20 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 6257 d 0 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 6 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Fix coding style in the address space area backends.  
2089 6314 d 6 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes
 
2076 6323 d 7 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 6324 d 23 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)  
2000 6375 d 8 h decky /trunk/kernel/ move files to more proper locations  
1787 6515 d 1 h decky / move kernel/trunk, uspace/trunk and boot/trunk to trunk/kernel, trunk/uspace and trunk/boot  
1780 6522 d 2 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Replace old __u?? types with respective C99 variants (e.g. uint32_t, int64_t, uintptr_t etc.).  
1760 6533 d 3 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...
