3862 5804 d 10 h rimsky /branches/sparc/kernel/ Changed the structure of header files, which have sun4u and sun4v versions. Implemented some sun4v TSB functions.  
3397 5949 d 19 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ Merged recent changes from trunk into the Sparc branch.  
3343 5973 d 16 h decky /branches/sparc/ add sparc branch  
3104 6048 d 1 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/ Declare arguments for memstr.h operations as pointers instead of uintptr_t.  
2745 6147 d 21 h decky /trunk/ code cleanup (mostly signed/unsigned)
allow extra compiler warnings
 
2141 6484 d 9 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 13 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 6486 d 19 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/mm/ Fix coding style in the address space area backends.  
2089 6542 d 19 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes
 
2076 6551 d 20 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 6553 d 12 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)  
1954 6636 d 11 h jermar /trunk/ Minor changes. Some coding style fixes and also a type (tee vs. tree).
One AS -> as change.
 
1787 6743 d 14 h decky / move kernel/trunk, uspace/trunk and boot/trunk to trunk/kernel, trunk/uspace and trunk/boot  
1780 6750 d 15 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Replace old __u?? types with respective C99 variants (e.g. uint32_t, int64_t, uintptr_t etc.).  
1760 6761 d 16 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 6764 d 20 h jermar /kernel/trunk/ Cleanup of comments.  
1702 6771 d 18 h cejka /kernel/trunk/ Kernel doxygen comments updated.  
1545 6781 d 18 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/src/mm/ Add reference to shared frames of anonymous address space area.  
1426 6788 d 11 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/src/mm/ Support for sharing address space areas backed up by ELF image.  
1425 6788 d 12 h jermar /kernel/trunk/generic/ Make address space backend data a union.
