1891 6446 d 13 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ sparc64 work:
- Experimental support for TSB (Translation Storage Buffer).
 
1890 6447 d 0 h jermar /trunk/ - Create a dedicated slab cache for as_t objects and switch from malloc/free to slab_alloc/slab_free for
them.

- Slightly fix and improve both the kernel and userspace atomic_add() on sparc64.

- More TSB work on the sparc64 front.
 
1889 6447 d 15 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Fix bug in mm/as.c:
- as_area_destroy() should not work with AS but as

sparc64 work:
- start implementing TSB support
 
1888 6450 d 18 h jermar /trunk/ C99 compliant header guards (hopefully) everywhere in the kernel.
Formatting and indentation changes.
Small improvements in sparc64.
 
1882 6451 d 22 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Support for sparc64 FPU context.  
1881 6452 d 22 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.
 
1880 6454 d 14 h jermar /trunk/ Small improvements here and there.  
1877 6456 d 2 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Coding style fixes.
Remove unneeded sparc64 dummy functions.
 
1875 6457 d 15 h jermar /trunk/ sparc64 work.
- Changes to enable userspace keyboard drivers.
- Fix z8530 initialization (i.e. clear any pending Tx interrupts).
- Experimental support for framebuffers with inverted colors.
 
1870 6459 d 14 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Handle more sparc64 traps and improve handling of already handled traps.  
1868 6459 d 21 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 6460 d 16 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ sparc64 kernel fixes  
1864 6461 d 12 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.
 
1863 6463 d 14 h jermar /trunk/ Allow architectures to decide between inlined and not inlined version of syscall wrapper.
Implement inlined syscall wrapper for sparc64.
 
1862 6463 d 18 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ sparc64 work.
Kernel syscall support.
Modify the preemptive_handler for the use by syscalls.
 
1860 6464 d 17 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.
 
1856 6466 d 0 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ sparc64 work.
- Modify before_thread_runs_arch() to store addresses of the kernel stack and
userspace window buffer, resp., to registers %g6 and %g7, resp, in the
alternate and interrupt global sets.
- Modify after_thread_ran_arch() to sample %g7 from the alternate globals.
- Implement trap handler for spilling register windows into userspace window buffer.
- Implement assembly language functions to access %g6 and %g7 registers in the alternate sets.
- Initialize the trap table so that there are now also spill_1_normal, spill_2_normal,
spill_0_other and fill_1_normal handlers. These handlers are used in different situations
and for different purposes.
 
1855 6466 d 20 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ sparc64 work.

Fix bug introduced in revision 1852. When fixing CWP,
the input registers of the current window (i.e. output
registers of the window belonging to the interrupted
context) must be preserved. Preserve those registers
in memory. Sure there exist more efficient ways how to
copy the inputs.

Simplify before_thread_runs_arch(), resp. after_thread_ran_arch(),
and make them install, resp. uninstall, DTLB locked mapping for
eventual userspace window buffer.
 
1854 6467 d 0 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Define architecture-specific thread sub-constructors and sub-destructors on all architectures.
Define the THREAD_FLAG_USPACE which means that the thread runs in user space.
The forementioned changes allow for allocating of user window buffer on sparc64
threads that execute in userspace.

A lot of formatting and indentation fixes.
 
1851 6474 d 22 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.
