4638 5646 d 7 h rimsky /branches/sparc/kernel/ SMP on Niagara made working: debugged the problem with the 'non-deterministic' symptoms, implemented the IPI mechanism.  
3493 5914 d 1 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ More changes making the code US-III-conformant (mainly in mm).  
3489 5921 d 4 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ More files made conform the US-III specification. (Changes concern mainly TSB.)  
3343 5973 d 6 h decky /branches/sparc/ add sparc branch  
2745 6147 d 11 h decky /trunk/ code cleanup (mostly signed/unsigned)
allow extra compiler warnings		  
2272 6461 d 4 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Indentation and formatting fixes.  
2141 6483 d 23 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 6485 d 3 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.		  
2089 6542 d 9 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes		  
2071 6553 d 2 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)  
2054 6581 d 1 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Fix important comment in kernel/arch/sparc64/src/proc/scheduler.c.

Improve framebuffer code.

Formatting and indentation fixes.		  
2048 6585 d 4 h jermar /trunk/ Formatting and indentation changes.  
2015 6592 d 2 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.		  
2009 6597 d 1 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Initial support for handling illegal virtual aliases on sparc64.  
1904 6664 d 7 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ IPI/cross-call support for sparc64.
SMP on sparc64 is now fully supported.		  
1903 6665 d 2 h jermar /trunk/ SMP stuff for sparc64.
Almost complete except for IPIs.
The absence of IPI support deadlocks
the kernel when more CPUs are configured.
