2472 6160 d 3 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/ipc/ Some left-over stuff from the last commit (IPC cleanup and improved
comments.)
 
2471 6160 d 3 h jermar /trunk/ Greatly improve comments in the IPC layer.
Now I think I finally start to understand our IPC internals :-)
 
2470 6164 d 1 h jermar /trunk/ Fix a double-free recently introduced in revision r2436.
Add a comment clarifying the life-cycle of the kernel_uarg structure.

Comment out the freeing of userspace thread stack while still running on it.
This should be fixed by implementing userspace version of thread_join().
 
2467 6164 d 5 h jermar /trunk/ Improve comments for arch-specific implementations of hierarchical
4-level page tables. Improve formatting.
 
2465 6169 d 8 h jermar /trunk/ Merge arm32 into trunk.  
2462 6171 d 2 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Replace gcc-specific __FUNCTION__ with C99 __func__.
suncc's xregs=no%float can be used only on sparc64.
 
2451 6173 d 3 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ JoinMe -> Lingering  
2447 6176 d 7 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/main/ Split accidently joined lines.  
2446 6176 d 7 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ More efficient and simpler task termination.

Based on the assumption, that after its creation, only the task itself can create more threads for itself,
the last thread with userspace context to execute thread_exit() will perform futex and IPC cleanup. When
the task has no threads, it is destroyed. Both the cleanup and destruction is controlled by reference
counting.

As for userspace threads, even though there could be a global garbage collector for joining threads, it is
much simpler if the uinit thread detaches itself before switching to userspace.

task_kill() is now an idempotent operation. It just instructs the threads within a task to exit.

Change in the name of a thread state: Undead -> JoinMe.
 
2445 6176 d 8 h decky /trunk/ initial merge of branches/fs
(not finished, huge cleanup is needed)
 
2444 6176 d 23 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ First fixes for suncc support.
It is going to be a long way...
 
2441 6177 d 1 h decky /trunk/kernel/ fix ICC compilation  
2440 6177 d 1 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Fix the problem with sys_thread_create() by splitting the create and attach functionality of
thread_create(). Now it is possible to specify a flag that will cause thread_create() to only allocate and
initialize the thread structure. A call to thread_attach() will make the thread visible to the system.
This arrangement makes it easier to undo creation of a thread in case of a failure in sys_thread_create().
 
2436 6178 d 3 h jermar /trunk/ Fix two memory leaks.

In kernel, kernel_uarg structure needs to be deallocated when a thread
with userspace context is destroyed.

In userspace, the return value of the SYS_THREAD_CREATE must be checked
for error conditions and in case of error, uarg and stack must be freed
up.
 
2359 6190 d 12 h jermar /trunk/ Improve comments for the IPC subsystem.
Fix formatting and indentation.
 
2319 6198 d 12 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/console/ run mcall only on active CPUs  
2310 6201 d 4 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Cleanup the waitq_wakeup() interface.
Replace numeric constants (i.e. 0)
and boolean constants (i.e. false) with
more readable WAKEUP_FIRST. Also change the
type of the second argument of waitq_wakeup()
to a newly introduced type wakeup_mode_t.

Fix behaviour of waitq_wakeup() in case
that WAKEUP_ALL semantics is required
but no threads are sleeping in the wait
queue. This is a similar fix to that of
Jan Hudecek committed in the RCU branch,
but, IMHO, is more straightforward and
also doesn't eat up previous missed
wakeups.
 
2285 6213 d 12 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/proc/ Formatting and indentation fixes.  
2275 6218 d 4 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ add fancy uptime kconsole command  
2272 6219 d 4 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Indentation and formatting fixes.  
2268 6220 d 3 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Document and assert proper usage of THREAD_FLAG_WIRED.
Original patch by Jan Hudecek.
 
2229 6229 d 9 h jermar /trunk/ Revert some of the changes introduced in revision 2209.
I think it is not correct to remove serialization of pseudo threads in printf_core.c.
With thread-level futex serialization, several pseudo threads running in one thread could easily deadlock
the task.

Add a dedicated futex serialization to thread1.c test only.
 
2227 6229 d 16 h decky /trunk/kernel/ start shutdown infrastructure  
2224 6229 d 23 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/console/ detach joined thread  
2223 6229 d 23 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/ add mcall0 command (calling a function on each CPU)  
2222 6230 d 2 h decky /trunk/kernel/ map kernel pages explicitly as writable (this solves compatibility issues with Intel Core 2)
make VESA framebuffer initialization more robust
 
2218 6230 d 23 h decky /trunk/kernel/ support the possibility to send EOI or Interrupt Acknowledgement
prior to processing the interrupt
(this is essential on some architectures to prevent preemption deadlock)
 
2216 6231 d 3 h decky /trunk/ make thread ID 64 bit (task ID is 64 bit already)
cleanup thread syscalls
 
2211 6231 d 4 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/synch/ reflect the renaming of printflock to printf_lock  
2208 6231 d 5 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ use spinlock only on console output, not other print functions
cleanup
 
2187 6232 d 10 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ add syscall for getting current thread ID  
2185 6232 d 10 h decky /trunk/ rename ipcc to tester  
2184 6232 d 12 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/lib/ add zetta (sextillion) prefix
make constants explicitly unsigned
 
2183 6233 d 7 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Continue to de-oversynchronize the kernel.
- replace as->refcount with an atomic counter; accesses to this
reference counter are not to be done when the as->lock mutex is held;
this gets us rid of mutex_lock_active();

Remove the possibility of a deadlock between TLB shootdown and asidlock.
- get rid of mutex_lock_active() on as->lock
- when locking the asidlock spinlock, always do it conditionally and with
preemption disabled; in the unsuccessful case, enable interrupts and try again
- there should be no deadlock between TLB shootdown and the as->lock mutexes
- PLEASE REVIEW !!!

Add DEADLOCK_PROBE's to places where we have spinlock_trylock() loops.
 
2170 6238 d 0 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Simplify synchronization in as_switch().
The function was oversynchronized, which
was causing deadlocks on the address
space mutex.

Now, address spaces can only be switched
when the asidlock is held. This also protects
stealing of ASIDs. No other synchronization
is necessary.
 
2142 6241 d 7 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/include/mm/ Remove out of date comment.  
2141 6241 d 23 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 6243 d 3 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 6243 d 3 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Coding style and indentation fixes.  
2132 6244 d 10 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Fix coding style in the address space area backends.
