(32 parts per page.) + Some MIPS non-R3000 speed fixes. + Experimenting with MIPS instruction combination for some + addiu+bne+sw loops, and sw+sw+sw. + Adding support (again) for larger-than-4KB pages in MIPS tlbw*. + Continuing on SPARC emulation: adding load/store instructions. +20060704 Fixing a virtual vs physical page shift bug in the new tlbw* + implementation. Problem noticed by Jakub Jermar. (Many thanks.) + Moving rfe and eret to cpu_mips_instr.c, since that is the + only place that uses them nowadays. +20060705 Removing the BSD license from the "testmachine" include files, + placing them in the public domain instead; this enables the + testmachine stuff to be used from projects which are + incompatible with the BSD license for some reason. +20060707 Adding instruction combinations for the R2000/R3000 L1 + I-cache invalidation code used by NetBSD/pmax 3.0, lui+addiu, + various branches followed by addiu or nop, and jr ra followed + by addiu. The time it takes to perform a full NetBSD/pmax R3000 + install on the laptop has dropped from 573 seconds to 539. :-) +20060708 Adding a framebuffer controller device (dev_fbctrl), which so + far can be used to change the fb resolution during runtime, but + in the future will also be useful for accelerated block fill/ + copy, and possibly also simplified character output. + Adding an instruction combination for NetBSD/pmax' strlen. +20060709 Minor fixes: reading raw files in src/file.c wasn't memblock + aligned, removing buggy multi_sw MIPS instruction combination, + etc. +20060711 Adding a machine_qemu.c, which contains a "qemu_mips" machine. + (It mimics QEMU's MIPS machine mode, so that a test kernel + made for QEMU_MIPS also can run in GXemul... at least to some + extent.) Adding a short section about how to run this mode to + doc/guestoses.html. +20060714 Misc. minor code cleanups. +20060715 Applying a patch which adds getchar() to promemul/yamon.c + (from Oleksandr Tymoshenko). + Adding yamon.h from NetBSD, and rewriting yamon.c to use it + (instead of ugly hardcoded numbers) + some cleanup. +20060716 Found and fixed the bug which broke single-stepping of 64-bit + programs between 0.4.0 and 0.4.0.1 (caused by too quick + refactoring and no testing). Hopefully this fix will not + break too many other things. +20060718 Continuing on the 8253 PIT; it now works with Linux/QEMU_MIPS. + Re-adding the sw+sw+sw instr comb (the problem was that I had + ignored endian issues); however, it doesn't seem to give any + big performance gain. +20060720 Adding a dummy Transputer mode (T414, T800 etc) skeleton (only + the 'j' and 'ldc' instructions are implemented so far). :-} +20060721 Adding gtreg.h from NetBSD, updating dev_gt.c to use it, plus + misc. other updates to get Linux 2.6 for evbmips/malta working + (thanks to Alec Voropay for the details). + FINALLY found and fixed the bug which made tlbw* for non-R3000 + buggy; it was a reference count problem in the dyntrans core. +20060722 Testing stuff; things seem stable enough for a new release. + +============== RELEASE 0.4.1 ============== +
