4490 5683 d 11 h decky /trunk/kernel/ remove redundant index_t and count_t types (which were always quite ambiguous and not actually needed)  
4174 5755 d 3 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/ add malloc slab caches for up to 4 MB blocks  
3973 5779 d 19 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()
 
3972 5780 d 7 h decky /trunk/kernel/ kernel memory management revisited (phase 1): proper support for zone flags
- the zone_t structures are now statically allocated to be easily available
- the locking scheme was simplified
- new flags for non-available zones were introduced
- FRAME_LOW_4_GiB flag is removed, the functionality will be eventually reimplemented using a generic mechanism
 
3940 5786 d 13 h decky /trunk/kernel/ make hw_area API more generic
this allows mapping of EGA VRAM on ia32/amd64
 
3908 5790 d 11 h decky /trunk/ overhaul pareas: use one single physical area for the physical address space not belonging to physical memory  
3240 5990 d 20 h decky / move unfinished ObjC support to a separate branch  
3233 5994 d 15 h decky /trunk/ remove dummy page coloring facility, which is currenty not used  
3222 6013 d 14 h svoboda /trunk/ Merge program-loader related stuff from dynload branch to trunk. (huge)  
3208 6015 d 10 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ The real intention of the previous commit was to put the boundary
on 4 GiB, not 16 GiB.
 
3207 6015 d 10 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 6015 d 12 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.
 
3182 6029 d 16 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/include/mm/ cstyle for slab.h  
2745 6145 d 18 h decky /trunk/ code cleanup (mostly signed/unsigned)
allow extra compiler warnings
 
2725 6166 d 16 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)
 
2556 6296 d 19 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Rename as_get_size() to as_area_get_size() and add a doxygen comment.  
2465 6409 d 15 h jermar /trunk/ Merge arm32 into trunk.  
2444 6417 d 7 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ First fixes for suncc support.
It is going to be a long way...
 
2183 6473 d 14 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 6478 d 8 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.
