4490 5684 d 12 h decky /trunk/kernel/ remove redundant index_t and count_t types (which were always quite ambiguous and not actually needed)  
3973 5780 d 20 h decky /trunk/kernel/ kernel memory management revisited (phase 2): map physical memory according to zones
- ia32: register reserved and ACPI zones
- pareas are now used only for mapping of present physical memory (hw_area() is gone)
- firmware zones and physical addresses outside any zones are allowed to be mapped generally
- fix nasty antient bug in zones_insert_zone()
 
3940 5787 d 14 h decky /trunk/kernel/ make hw_area API more generic
this allows mapping of EGA VRAM on ia32/amd64
 
3908 5791 d 13 h decky /trunk/ overhaul pareas: use one single physical area for the physical address space not belonging to physical memory  
2141 6483 d 8 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.
 
2116 6533 d 17 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/ddi/ explicit typecast  
2107 6535 d 10 h jermar /trunk/ When clock() is called by an external interrupt dispatched by the IRQ dispatcher,
no spinlock can be held or the kernel will not be preemptive. This fixes Ticket #24.

Formating and indentation fixes.
 
2071 6552 d 11 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)  
2015 6591 d 11 h jermar /trunk/ Rework support for virtually indexed cache.
Instead of repeatedly flushing the data cache, which was a huge overkill, refuse to create an illegal address alias
in the kernel (again) and allocate appropriate page color in userspace instead. Extend the detection also to
SYS_PHYSMEM_MAP syscall.

Add support for tracking physical memory areas mappable by SYS_PHYSMEM_MAP.

Lots of coding style changes.
 
2012 6594 d 9 h jermar /trunk/ Eliminate confusion between SYS_MAP_PHYSMEM and sys_physmem_map.
The syscall is to be called SYS_PHYSMEM_MAP from now on and the functions that participate in its implementation are
called *physmem_map().
 
1888 6677 d 15 h jermar /trunk/ C99 compliant header guards (hopefully) everywhere in the kernel.
Formatting and indentation changes.
Small improvements in sparc64.
 
1839 6717 d 16 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ finish security context isolation  
1787 6742 d 13 h decky / move kernel/trunk, uspace/trunk and boot/trunk to trunk/kernel, trunk/uspace and trunk/boot  
1780 6749 d 14 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Replace old __u?? types with respective C99 variants (e.g. uint32_t, int64_t, uintptr_t etc.).  
1708 6767 d 20 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Fix some broken doxygen comments.  
1705 6769 d 20 h cejka /kernel/trunk/ Added file with modules definitions and descriptions.
We are able to change modules order and their description in one place.
 
1702 6770 d 17 h cejka /kernel/trunk/ Kernel doxygen comments updated.  
1589 6778 d 13 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/src/ Improve comments regarding liveliness of threads and tasks.  
1588 6778 d 14 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/src/ In task_kill(), remove the task from the tasks_btree before proceeding.
Thus, when the kernel finds the task in the tasks_btree and locks it before
releasing tasks_lock, it is guaranteed that the task will not be destroyed
until the lock is held. If the kernel needs to unlock the task, do some operation
and lock it again, it should increase its refcount before doing so. In that case,
when releasing the lock, it must decrement the refcount and if it reaches
zero, it must call task_destroy().
 
1494 6782 d 7 h palkovsky /kernel/trunk/generic/ Removes unnecessary parameter for map_physmem syscall.  
1429 6786 d 22 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/ Make ddi_physmem_map() accept address space area flags instead of writable switch.
Thus even these types of address space areas can turn caching on, if it is desired.
 
1425 6787 d 12 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/ Make address space backend data a union.  
1424 6787 d 14 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Move the sharing functionality to address space area backends.
Add backend for continuous regions of physical memory.
Sharing for these areas works automagically now.
 
1409 6791 d 9 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/ Some shared memory stuff (not completed).
Support for address space area backends.
Add ELF and anonymous memory backends.
 
1297 6807 d 16 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Add SYS_CAP_GRANT and SYS_CAP_REVOKE syscalls.
Move SYS_PREEMPT_CONTROL to ddi.c.
Add some comments and fix some small issues.
 
1288 6809 d 20 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Complete implementation of copy_from_uspace() and copy_to_uspace()
for amd64 and ia32. Other architectures still compile and run,
but need to implement their own assembly-only memcpy(), memcpy_from_uspace(),
memcpy_to_uspace() and their failover parts. For these architectures
only dummy implementations are provided.
 
1278 6812 d 13 h palkovsky /kernel/trunk/ Changed interrupt_control to preemption_control.  
1248 6817 d 15 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Add some @file doxygen comments and improve already existing comments.  
1239 6818 d 14 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/ Prevent race in as_area_send() by allowing the address space area to be
created with AS_AREA_ATTR_PARTIAL attribute.
 
1227 6821 d 16 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Reorganize syscall names to better correspond to kernel architecture.
Add dummy placeholders for SYS_AS_AREA_SHARE_APPROVE and
SYS_AS_AREA_SHARE_PERFORM syscalls.
 
1212 6822 d 14 h palkovsky /kernel/trunk/ Added uspace call to enable/disable interrupts.  
1191 6830 d 23 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Kernel support for SYS_ENABLE_IOSPACE.
amd64 and ia32 provide dummy implementation thereof.
 
1178 6832 d 15 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Add task_find_by_id().
Add kernel support for SYS_MAP_PHYSMEM.
