2268 6220 d 2 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Document and assert proper usage of THREAD_FLAG_WIRED.
Original patch by Jan Hudecek.
 
2229 6229 d 7 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 15 h decky /trunk/kernel/ start shutdown infrastructure  
2224 6229 d 21 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/console/ detach joined thread  
2223 6229 d 21 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/ add mcall0 command (calling a function on each CPU)  
2222 6230 d 0 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 22 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 1 h decky /trunk/ make thread ID 64 bit (task ID is 64 bit already)
cleanup thread syscalls
 
2211 6231 d 3 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/synch/ reflect the renaming of printflock to printf_lock  
2208 6231 d 3 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ use spinlock only on console output, not other print functions
cleanup
 
2187 6232 d 8 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ add syscall for getting current thread ID  
2185 6232 d 9 h decky /trunk/ rename ipcc to tester  
2184 6232 d 11 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/lib/ add zetta (sextillion) prefix
make constants explicitly unsigned
 
2183 6233 d 5 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 6237 d 23 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 6 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/include/mm/ Remove out of date comment.  
2141 6241 d 22 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 2 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 2 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Coding style and indentation fixes.  
2132 6244 d 8 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Fix coding style in the address space area backends.
