4490 5443 d 1 h decky /trunk/kernel/ remove redundant index_t and count_t types (which were always quite ambiguous and not actually needed)  
3790 5589 d 9 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/ Make newlines in panic messages consistent. Add periods at end of messages so that it is obvious whether they are printed entirely.  
3382 5717 d 23 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Fix the rare case when the anon or ELF backend uses PFN 0 for mapping.  
3143 5797 d 4 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/ Implement smc_coherence[_block]() for ppc32  
3142 5797 d 5 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Fix build when smc_coherence_block() is defined as an empty macro  
3141 5797 d 8 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Maintain cache coherence when the ELF backend duplicates a frame from an
executable segment.
 
3104 5805 d 13 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/ Declare arguments for memstr.h operations as pointers instead of uintptr_t.  
3007 5816 d 2 h jermar /trunk/ Improve linking and loading of boot ELF images.

2745 5905 d 9 h decky /trunk/ code cleanup (mostly signed/unsigned)
allow extra compiler warnings
 
2647 5978 d 2 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 6164 d 3 h jermar /trunk/ Improve comments for arch-specific implementations of hierarchical
4-level page tables. Improve formatting.
 
2141 6241 d 21 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 1 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 6244 d 8 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Fix coding style in the address space area backends.  
2089 6300 d 7 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes
 
2076 6309 d 9 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 6311 d 0 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)  
2000 6361 d 10 h decky /trunk/kernel/ move files to more proper locations

1780 6508 d 4 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Replace old __u?? types with respective C99 variants (e.g. uint32_t, int64_t, uintptr_t etc.).
