4638 5605 d 5 h rimsky /branches/sparc/kernel/ SMP on Niagara made working: debugged the problem with the 'non-deterministic' symptoms, implemented the IPI mechanism.  
4614 5612 d 1 h rimsky /branches/sparc/kernel/arch/sparc64/ Waking CPUs up on sun4v. Weird errors occur when accessing the THE structure.  
4369 5669 d 1 h rimsky /branches/sparc/kernel/arch/sparc64/ Kernel stack and userspace window buffer pointers are stored in scratchpad registers instead of memory.  
4130 5725 d 1 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ Cleanup of the Niagara port. The main purpose of these changes is to make it easy to find out which code is generic, which is sun4u-specific and which is sun4v-specific.  
4065 5730 d 22 h rimsky /branches/sparc/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/ minor cleanup  
3993 5737 d 22 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.  
3864 5758 d 23 h rimsky /branches/sparc/kernel/arch/sparc64/src/sun4v/ Allocated bigger memory block for the Machine Description. This was the problem which prevented running HelenOS on real Niagara. Now all kernel tests except for 'slab2' pass on real Niagara.  
3863 5759 d 22 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ Simics machine: modifications needed to run userspace (the next step will be to implement the trap handler for uspace); real machine: small fixes, after them the machine passes some parts of the initialization, but fails to determine CPU frequency (probably due to a different format of Machine Description).  
3835 5767 d 22 h rimsky /branches/sparc/kernel/arch/sparc64/ Niagara: Implemented (and debugged) installing identity mapping for kernel. Now all the kernel tests pass on Simics.  
3817 5775 d 22 h rimsky /branches/sparc/kernel/ Progress on Niagara: Commented out portions of mm, which are not required for kernel threads (temporarily). Scheduler is working. Implemented a driver of hypervisor's standard input. Kernel console is usable.  
3783 5792 d 23 h rimsky /branches/sparc/kernel/arch/sparc64/ Machine description traversal implemented. Now used to detect CPU frequency.  
3770 5795 d 23 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).  
3748 5803 d 0 h rimsky /branches/sparc/kernel/arch/sparc64/ Be careful to preserve the output registers when processing the fast data access MMU miss.  
3743 5803 d 8 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ Started to implement support for sun4v. Bootloader adapted to autodetect the architecture (sun4u, sun4v). Some generic sparc64 kernel files split into sun4u and sun4v versions (but the sun4u is still the default in many cases - in order to keep the code compilable). Implemented taking over the MMU. Implemented routines for performing the hypervisor API calls. Implemented a trivial standard output driver. HelenOS banner can now be printed from the kernel on Niagara.
