4581 5619 d 2 h mejdrech /branches/network/ Net: synchronized with trunk rev.4580  
4153 5720 d 1 h mejdrech /branches/network/ Networking: merged with trunk changes  
3386 5916 d 4 h decky /branches/network/ add new network branch (copy of current trunk)  
3382 5917 d 23 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Fix the rare case when the anon or ELF backend uses PFN 0 for mapping.  
3104 6005 d 13 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/ Declare arguments for memstr.h operations as pointers instead of uintptr_t.  
2745 6105 d 9 h decky /trunk/ code cleanup (mostly signed/unsigned)
allow extra compiler warnings
 
2141 6441 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 6443 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 6444 d 8 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Fix coding style in the address space area backends.  
2089 6500 d 7 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes
 
2076 6509 d 8 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 6511 d 0 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)  
1954 6593 d 23 h jermar /trunk/ Minor changes. Some coding style fixes and also a type (tee vs. tree).
One AS -> as change.
 
1787 6701 d 2 h decky / move kernel/trunk, uspace/trunk and boot/trunk to trunk/kernel, trunk/uspace and trunk/boot  
1780 6708 d 3 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Replace old __u?? types with respective C99 variants (e.g. uint32_t, int64_t, uintptr_t etc.).  
1760 6719 d 5 h palkovsky /kernel/trunk/ Changed interface of frame_alloc/free to use address of frame instead of the pfn.
This makes it impossible to use >4GB of memory on 32-bit machines, but who cares...
 
1757 6722 d 8 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Cleanup of comments.  
1702 6729 d 6 h cejka /kernel/trunk/ Kernel doxygen comments updated.  
1545 6739 d 6 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/src/mm/ Add reference to shared frames of anonymous address space area.  
1426 6745 d 23 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/src/mm/ Support for sharing address space areas backed up by ELF image.
