2141 6254 d 17 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.
 
2139 6254 d 19 h decky /trunk/contrib/toolchain/ move to GCC 4.1.2, make scripts really host platform independent
remove orphaned libobjc
 
2138 6254 d 21 h decky /trunk/contrib/toolchain/ revert previous change (libobjc is actually HOST platform dependent)  
2134 6255 d 22 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.
 
2133 6255 d 22 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Coding style and indentation fixes.  
2132 6257 d 4 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Fix coding style in the address space area backends.  
2129 6290 d 20 h jermar /trunk/ Fix small problem in sparc64 port.

Bump version to 0.2.0.4 (Sunset).
 
2128 6297 d 22 h jermar /trunk/ Add arm32 architecture. The 32 suffix is used to specify that 16-bit Thumb
instructions are not used. The arm32 code is mostly composed of placeholders
that need to be replaced by real implementation. So far, the arm32 tree
only compiles. If run under GXEmul simulator, an infinit loop at the
kernel entry point will be entered.
 
2127 6298 d 7 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/lib/ add forgotten implementation  
2126 6298 d 18 h decky /trunk/kernel/ small cleanup, more work coming  
2125 6298 d 21 h decky /trunk/ experimental support for Objective C
(disabled by default)
 
2124 6298 d 23 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ implement simple realloc()  
2123 6305 d 1 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ add forgotten unsigned  
2122 6305 d 1 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ explicit typecast, fix signed/unsigned comparison  
2121 6305 d 2 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ remove anonymous structure, add static qualifier  
2120 6305 d 2 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/include/syscall/ specify syscall handler arguments  
2119 6305 d 2 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/syscall/ explicit typecast  
2118 6305 d 2 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/ explicit typecast, fix signed/unsigned comparison
