3862 5748 d 8 h rimsky /branches/sparc/kernel/ Changed the structure of header files, which have sun4u and sun4v versions. Implemented some sun4v TSB functions.  
3665 5812 d 8 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ Merged latest trunk changes into the sparc brach.  
3593 5827 d 8 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ Merged latest trunk changes into sparc branch.  
3492 5861 d 12 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ Changes in trunk merged into the sparc branch. SILO's ramdisk issue solved by the CONFIG_RD_EXTERNAL option.  
3397 5893 d 17 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ Merged recent changes from trunk into the Sparc branch.  
3343 5917 d 14 h decky /branches/sparc/ add sparc branch  
3222 5959 d 15 h svoboda /trunk/ Merge program-loader related stuff from dynload branch to trunk. (huge)  
3186 5974 d 12 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Support for active mutexes. Active mutexes implement busy waiting, pretty much
in the same way as spinlocks, but can be passed to condition variables, which is
the motivation for this enhancement.
 
3137 5983 d 19 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/proc/ Maintain cache coherence after sys_task_spawn() copies ELF image from user space.  
3063 5994 d 16 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/proc/ support for SYS_SPAWN syscall
proper printf formatting
change the way init tasks are created
 
2802 6053 d 20 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Fix initialization of answerbox->task in ipc_answerbox_init.
Contributed by Jiri Svoboda.
 
2745 6091 d 19 h decky /trunk/ code cleanup (mostly signed/unsigned)
allow extra compiler warnings
 
2712 6117 d 17 h decky /trunk/kernel/ prettyprint output  
2632 6179 d 6 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/proc/ try to kill the tasks fewer times by introducing a delay in iterations  
2504 6304 d 12 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Give the AVL tree walkers the possibility to take an argument.
Each walker is now supposed to return a bool value to support walk termination.

Switch over from the tasks_btree B+tree to tasks_tree AVL tree.
This makes the fix for ticket #48 complete.
 
2446 6362 d 15 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ More efficient and simpler task termination.

Based on the assumption, that after its creation, only the task itself can create more threads for itself,
the last thread with userspace context to execute thread_exit() will perform futex and IPC cleanup. When
the task has no threads, it is destroyed. Both the cleanup and destruction is controlled by reference
counting.

As for userspace threads, even though there could be a global garbage collector for joining threads, it is
much simpler if the uinit thread detaches itself before switching to userspace.

task_kill() is now an idempotent operation. It just instructs the threads within a task to exit.

Change in the name of a thread state: Undead -> JoinMe.
 
2436 6364 d 11 h jermar /trunk/ Fix two memory leaks.

In kernel, kernel_uarg structure needs to be deallocated when a thread
with userspace context is destroyed.

In userspace, the return value of the SYS_THREAD_CREATE must be checked
for error conditions and in case of error, uarg and stack must be freed
up.
 
2227 6416 d 1 h decky /trunk/kernel/ start shutdown infrastructure  
2216 6417 d 11 h decky /trunk/ make thread ID 64 bit (task ID is 64 bit already)
cleanup thread syscalls
 
2183 6419 d 15 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.
