3492 6274 d 2 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ Changes in trunk merged into the sparc branch. SILO's ramdisk issue solved by the CONFIG_RD_EXTERNAL option.  
3397 6306 d 8 h rimsky /branches/sparc/ Merged recent changes from trunk into the Sparc branch.  
3343 6330 d 4 h decky /branches/sparc/ add sparc branch  
3222 6372 d 5 h svoboda /trunk/ Merge program-loader related stuff from dynload branch to trunk. (huge)  
3186 6387 d 3 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 6396 d 10 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/src/proc/ Maintain cache coherence after sys_task_spawn() copies ELF image from user space.  
3063 6407 d 6 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/proc/ support for SYS_SPAWN syscall
proper printf formatting
change the way init tasks are created
 
2802 6466 d 10 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Fix initialization of answerbox->task in ipc_answerbox_init.
Contributed by Jiri Svoboda.
 
2745 6504 d 10 h decky /trunk/ code cleanup (mostly signed/unsigned)
allow extra compiler warnings
 
2712 6530 d 7 h decky /trunk/kernel/ prettyprint output  
2632 6591 d 20 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/proc/ try to kill the tasks fewer times by introducing a delay in iterations  
2504 6717 d 2 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 6775 d 6 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 6777 d 2 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 6828 d 15 h decky /trunk/kernel/ start shutdown infrastructure  
2216 6830 d 1 h decky /trunk/ make thread ID 64 bit (task ID is 64 bit already)
cleanup thread syscalls
 
2183 6832 d 5 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.
 
2118 6891 d 6 h decky /trunk/kernel/generic/src/ explicit typecast, fix signed/unsigned comparison  
2109 6892 d 10 h jermar /trunk/kernel/generic/ Revert thread_interrupt_sleep() to waitq_interrupt_sleep().
I'd prefer that this, IMO, waitq related stuff stays together.
 
2089 6899 d 8 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes
