be992434e7 VM: make munmap(2) round length up, not down (reported by Althaf K Backer) 2010-01-05 09:40:07 +00:00

8d800b3df7 Make VM fix up memory for kernel that crosses region boundaries
too.

Add a test to make this happen (triggers a vm panic before this commit).

7e73260cf5 - enable remembering of device memory ranges set by PCI and
told to kernel
  - makes VM ask the kernel if a certain process is allowed
    to map in a range of physical memory (VM rounds it to page
    boundaries afterwards - but it's impossible to map anything
    smaller otherwise so I assume this is safe, i.e. there won't
    be anything else in that page; certainly no regular memory)
  - VM permission check cleanup (no more hardcoded calls, less
    hardcoded logic, more readable main loop), a loose end left
    by GQ
  - remove do_copy warning, as the ipc server triggers this but
    it's no more harmful than the special cases already excluded
    explicitly (VFS, PM, etc).

32fbbd370c - pages that points to page directory values of all processes,
shared with the kernel, mapped into kernel address space; 
   kernel is notified of its location. kernel segment size is
   increased to make it fit.
 - map in kernel and other processes that don't have their
   own page table using single 4MB (global) mapping.
 - new sanity check facility: objects that are allocated with
   the slab allocator are, when running with sanity checking on,
   marked readonly until they are explicitly unlocked using the USE()
   macro.
 - another sanity check facility: collect all uses of memory and
   see if they don't overlap with (a) eachother and (b) free memory
 - own munmap() and munmap_text() functions.
 - exec() recovers from out-of-memory conditions properly now; this
   solves some weird exec() behaviour
 - chew off memory from the same side of the chunk as where we
   start scanning, solving some memory fragmentation issues
 - use avl trees for freelist and phys_ranges in regions
 - implement most useful part of munmap()
 - remap() stuff is GQ's for shared memory

59e972f074 let drivers allocate memory at 64k physical boundary. 2009-02-12 12:26:08 +00:00

e4e3995fb0 don't force vm to print to serial; don't kill processes when they
have 'bad' memory ranges (as it's the requestor's fault)

68d0c4defe - code shared with exec() letting boot-time processes have
their own fully fledged virtual address space and freeing
   their pre-allocated heap+stack area (necessary to let memory
   driver map in arbitrary areas of memory for /dev/mem without
   sys_vm_map)
 - small optimization preallocating memory on exec
 - finished VR_DIRECT physical mapping code

c078ec0331 Basic VM and other minor improvements.
Not complete, probably not fully debugged or optimized.
