Remove unused fields and factor common fields into a
new PMach struct in port/portdat.h.
The fields machno, splpc and proc are not moved to
PMach as they are part of the known offsets from
assembly (l.s).
Previously, mmurelease() was always called with
palloc spinlock held.
This is unneccesary for some mmurelease()
implementations as they wont release pages
to the palloc pool.
This change removes pagechainhead() and
pagechaindone() and replaces them with just
freepages() call, which aquires the palloc
lock internally as needed.
freepages() avoids holding the palloc lock
while walking the linked list of pages,
avoding some lock contention.
we might as well handle the per process cycle
counter in the portable part instead of duplicating the code
in every arch and have inconsistent implementations.
we now have a portable kenter() and kexit() function,
that is ment to be used in trap/syscall from user,
which updates the counters.
some kernels missed initializing Mach.cyclefreq.
The swcursor used a 32x32 image for saving/restoring
screen contents for no reason.
Add a doflush argument to swcursorhide(), so that
disabling software cursor with a double buffered
softscreen is properly hidden. The doflush parameter
should be set to 0 in all other cases as swcursordraw()
will flushes both (current and previours) locations.
Make sure swcursorinit() and swcursorhide() clear the
visibility flag, even when gscreen is nil.
Remove the cursor locking and just do everything within
the drawlock. All cursor functions such as curson(),
cursoff() and setcursor() will be called drawlock
locked. This also means &cursor can be read.
Fix devmouse cursor reads and writes. We now have the
global cursor variable that is only modified under
the drawlock. So copy under drawlock.
Move the pc software cursor implementation into vgasoft
driver, so screen.c does not need to handle it as
a special case.
Remove unused functions such as drawhasclients().
replace machine specific userinit() by a portable
implemntation that uses kproc() to create the first
process. the initcode text is mapped using kmap(),
so there is no need for machine specific tmpmap()
functions.
initcode stack preparation should be done in init0()
where the stack is mapped and can be accessed directly.
replacing the machine specific userinit() allows some
big simplifications as sysrfork() and kproc() are now
the only callers of newproc() and we can avoid initializing
fields that we know are being initialized by these
callers.
rename autogenerated init.h and reboot.h headers.
the initcode[] and rebootcode[] blobs are now in *.i
files and hex generation was moved to portmkfile. the
machine specific mkfile only needs to specify how to
build rebootcode.out and initcode.out.
fault() now has an additional pc argument that is
used to detect fault on a non-executable segment.
that is, we check on read fault if the segment
has the SG_NOEXEC attribute and the program counter
is within faulting page.
a portable SG_NOEXEC segment attribute was added to allow
non-executable (physical) segments. which will set the
PTENOEXEC bits for putmmu().
in the future, this can be used to make non-executable
stack / bss segments.
the SG_DEVICE attribute was added to distinguish between
mmio regions and uncached memory. only matterns on arm64.
on arm, theres the issue that PTEUNCACHED would have
no bits set when using the hardware bit definitions.
this is the reason bcm, kw, teg2 and omap kernels use
arteficial PTE constants. on zynq, the XN bit was used
as a hack to give PTEUNCACHED a non-zero value and when
the bit is clear then cache attributes where added to
the pte.
to fix this, PTECACHED constant was added.
the portable mmu code in fault.c will now explicitely set
PTECACHED bits for cached memory and PTEUNCACHED for
uncached memory. that way the hardware bit definitions
can be used everywhere.
all screen implementations use a Memimage* internally
for the framebuffer, so we can return a shared reference
to its Memdata structure in attachscreen() instead of
a framebuffer data pointer.
this eleminates the softscreen == 0xa110c hack as we
always use shared Memdata* now.
we allow devether to create ethernet cards on attach. this is useull
for virtual cards like the sink driver, so we can create a sink
by simply: bind -a '#l2:sink ea=112233445566' /net
the detach routine was never called, so remove it from the few drivers
that attempted to implement it.
the only architecture dependence of devether was enabling interrupts,
which is now done at the end of the driver's reset() function now.
the wifi stack and dummy ethersink also go to port/.
do the IRQ2->IRQ9 hack for pc kernels in intrenabale(), so not
every caller of intrenable() has to be aware of it.
introducing the PFPU structue which allows the machine specific
code some flexibility on how to handle the FPU process state.
for example, in the pc and pc64 kernel, the FPsave structure is
arround 512 bytes. with avx512, it could grow up to 2K. instead
of embedding that into the Proc strucutre, it is more effective
to allocate it on first use of the fpu, as most processes do not
use simd or floating point in the first place. also, the FPsave
structure has special 16 byte alignment constraint, which further
favours dynamic allocation.
this gets rid of the memmoves in pc/pc64 kernels for the aligment.
there is also devproc, which is now checking if the fpsave area
is actually valid before reading it, avoiding debuggers to see
garbage data.
the Notsave structure is gone now, as it was not used on any
machine.
access to the axi segment hangs the machine when the fpga
is not programmed yet. to prevent access, we introduce a
new SG_FAULT flag, that when set on the Segment.type or
Physseg.attr, causes the fault handler to immidiately
return with an error (as if the segment would not be mapped).
during programming, we temporarily set the SG_FAULT flag
on the axi physseg, flush all processes tlb's that have
the segment mapped and when programming is done, we clear
the flag again.
introduce cpushutdown() function that does the common
operation of initiating shutdown, returning once all
cpu's got the message and are about to shutdown. this
avoids duplicated code which isnt really machine specific.
automatic reboot on panic only when *debug= is not set
and the machine is a cpu server or has no display,
otherwise just hang.
unlock()/iunlock():
we need to place the coherence() *before* "l->key = 0", so that any
stores that where done while holding the lock become observable
*before* other processors see the lock released.
cas()/tas():
place memory barrier before successfull return to prevent reordering.
making sure to close the dot in every kproc appears repetitive,
so instead stop inheriting the dot in kproc() as this is usually
never what you wanted in the first place.
