4679 5577 d 7 h rimsky /branches/sparc/kernel/ Enhancing the way how even distribution of threads over processor cores is achieved.  
4638 5597 d 8 h rimsky /branches/sparc/kernel/ SMP on Niagara made working: debugged the problem with the 'non-deterministic' symptoms, implemented the IPI mechanism.  
3993 5730 d 1 h rimsky /branches/sparc/kernel/ Implemented preemptible trap handler for userspace (including syscalls - did not forget enabling interrupts for them) and the ralated stuff. Implemented handlers of instruction/data MMU miss/protection. Now some userspace tasks are run; there are, however, still some bugs causing unexpected data MMU misses.  
3862 5755 d 1 h rimsky /branches/sparc/kernel/ Changed the structure of header files, which have sun4u and sun4v versions. Implemented some sun4v TSB functions.  
3770 5788 d 2 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ Working on Niagara port - TLB initialization, MMU fault status area initialization, hypercall enhancement, modified tick.c so that the (hyperprivileged) TICK register does not have to be accessed. Now the initialization phase proceeds, but some parts of it are omitted for now (e.g. CPU initialization).  
3742 5795 d 11 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ The sparc branch synchronized with trunk at revision 3722 (trunk@3722).  
3665 5819 d 1 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ Merged latest trunk changes into the sparc brach.  
3593 5834 d 1 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ Merged latest trunk changes into sparc branch.  
3492 5868 d 5 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ Changes in trunk merged into the sparc branch. SILO's ramdisk issue solved by the CONFIG_RD_EXTERNAL option.  
3397 5900 d 10 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ Merged recent changes from trunk into the Sparc branch.  
3343 5924 d 7 h decky /branches/sparc/ add sparc branch  
3240 5943 d 13 h decky / move unfinished ObjC support to a separate branch  
3222 5966 d 8 h svoboda /trunk/ Merge program-loader related stuff from dynload branch to trunk. (huge)  
3208 5968 d 4 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ The real intention of the previous commit was to put the boundary
on 4 GiB, not 16 GiB.
 
3207 5968 d 4 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Introduce FRAME_LOW_16_GiB slab/frame allocator flag. When specified, the
allocators will not allocate memory above 16 GiB. Each architecture needs to
make sure not to merge zones from below and above 16 GiB. Allocations that
require memory below 16 GiB need to be altered to use this flag.
 
3206 5968 d 6 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Avoid deadlock during the 'zone n' kconsole command. Buddy allocator detail is
no longer printed because the effort to avoid the deadlock was simply not worth
it.
 
3205 5968 d 8 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Fix deadlock in the 'zones' kconsole command.  
3188 5981 d 1 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Finer grained waiting for memory with consideration of the number
of available memory frames.
 
3187 5981 d 5 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Get rid of the infamous "Sleep not implemented" panic during low memory
condition. Use a condition variable to implement the sleep. As of now, the
condition is rather coarse and can cause that threads may sleep unnecessarily.
Needs to be fine tuned and based on the amount of memory available.
 
3186 5981 d 5 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Support for active mutexes. Active mutexes implement busy waiting, pretty much
in the same way as spinlocks, but can be passed to condition variables, which is
the motivation for this enhancement.
 
3185 5982 d 4 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ cstyle for frame.c  
3183 5982 d 9 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Avoid easy deadlock while printing slab cache statistics.  
3180 5983 d 15 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ cstyle for slab.c  
3143 5990 d 7 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/ Implement smc_coherence[_block]() for ppc32  
3142 5990 d 8 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Fix build when smc_coherence_block() is defined as an empty macro  
3141 5990 d 11 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Maintain cache coherence when the ELF backend duplicates a frame from an
executable segment.
 
3130 5992 d 16 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Add a comment explaining the reason for a memory barrier after page table update in detail.  
3128 5993 d 5 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Issue a memory barrier after modifying a page table mapping in order to
prevent memory prefetching.
 
3104 5998 d 16 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/ Declare arguments for memstr.h operations as pointers instead of uintptr_t.  
3057 6001 d 9 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ proper printf formatting  
3007 6009 d 5 h jermar /trunk/ Improve linking and loading of boot ELF images.

2745 6098 d 12 h decky /trunk/ code cleanup (mostly signed/unsigned)
allow extra compiler warnings
 
2725 6119 d 9 h decky /trunk/kernel/ remove config.memory_size, get_memory_size() and memory_init.{c|d}
the amount of available memory can be calculated from the sizes of the zones
add FRAMES2SIZE, SIZE2KB and SIZE2MB functions/macros (code readability)
 
2712 6124 d 10 h decky /trunk/kernel/ prettyprint output  
2647 6171 d 5 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.
 
2556 6249 d 13 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Rename as_get_size() to as_area_get_size() and add a doxygen comment.  
2467 6357 d 6 h jermar /trunk/ Improve comments for arch-specific implementations of hierarchical
4-level page tables. Improve formatting.
 
2222 6423 d 3 h decky /trunk/kernel/ map kernel pages explicitly as writable (this solves compatibility issues with Intel Core 2)
make VESA framebuffer initialization more robust
 
2183 6426 d 8 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 6431 d 1 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.
