Algor: PCI and ISA and LOCAL interrupts! --> wdc could start working |
-------------- |
| 6 |
Add interrupt controller in dev_algor.c. |
|
| 7 |
|
x) FIX THE NON-R3000 TRANSLATION CACHE INVALIDATION BOTTLENECKS! |
| 8 |
|
x) Find a way to get rid of the cpu_create_or_reset_tc in the |
| 9 |
|
R2000/R3000 cache isolation code. (NetBSD works without it, |
| 10 |
|
but not Ultrix and Linux yet.) |
| 11 |
|
x) Formalize the statistics gathering stuff for dyntrans... |
| 12 |
|
x) ... and use it to optimize MIPS dyntrans stuff. |
| 13 |
|
x) Clock framework? Go through all clock devices, make sure they |
| 14 |
|
return correct data, and run at correct speeds! |
| 15 |
|
x) Optimizations, continuing on 64-bit issues etc with dyntrans |
| 16 |
|
x) Dyntrans with SMP... lots of work to be done here. |
| 17 |
|
x) Dyntrans with cache emulation... lots of work here as well. |
| 18 |
|
x) Actually use the settings object, better debugger stuff, etc. |
| 19 |
|
x) Wait for new releases of NetBSD, and test with those. |
| 20 |
|
|

|
-------------- |
| 22 |
|
|
| 23 |
|
SMP: |
| 24 |
|
o) dev_mp doesn't work well with dyntrans yet |
| 25 |
|
o) In general, IPIs, CAS, LL/SC etc must be made to work with dyntrans |
| 26 |
|
|
| 27 |
|
MIPS: |
| 28 |
|
o) Fix invalidate_asid so it works well for non-R3000 too! |
| 29 |
|
x) [Re]add an interrupt-asserted bit for MIPS, to speed up |
| 30 |
|
interrupt handling slightly? |
| 31 |
|
+) Print a warning on the first reserved instruction. |
| 32 |
|
+) Some more work on opcodes. |
| 33 |
|
x) MIPS64 revision 2. |
| 34 |
|
x) _MAYBE_ TX79 and R5900 actually differ in their |
| 35 |
|
opcodes? Check this carefully! |
| 36 |
|
o) Dyntrans: Count register updates are probably not 100% correct yet. |
| 37 |
|
o) Dyntrans: SMP correctness |
| 38 |
|
o) Refactor code for performance and readability/maintainability. |
| 39 |
|
o) Instruction combinations? Possible candidates (but profile first!): |
| 40 |
|
o) multiple loads/stores in a row |
| 41 |
|
o) strlen, memset loops etc |
| 42 |
|
o) compare + branch |
| 43 |
|
o) DROTR32 and similar MIPS64 rev 2 instructions, which have |
| 44 |
|
a rotation bit which differs from previous ISAs. |
| 45 |
|
o) EI and DI instructions for MIPS64/32 rev 2. NOTE: These are |
| 46 |
|
_NOT_ the same as for R5900! |
| 47 |
|
o) R4000 and others: |
| 48 |
|
x) watchhi/watchlo exceptions, and other exception |
| 49 |
|
handling details |
| 50 |
|
o) R10000 and others: (R12000, R14000 ?) |
| 51 |
|
x) memory space, exceptions, ... |
| 52 |
|
x) use cop0 framemask for tlb lookups |
| 53 |

Dyntrans: |

TOP Priority: |
x) Move the mips_init_64bit_dummy_tables() etc calls into |
| 57 |
x) 64-bit stuff: good generic virtual memory translation, and |
src/cpu.c, for all 64-bit cpus? |
| 58 |
other structures. not all 64 bits need to be used |
x) 64-bit "phystranslation" lookup as in 32-bit mode? Would probably |
| 59 |
(e.g. Alpha) |
help performance a bit. |
| 60 |
x) Delay slots! |
x) Common fatal_abort() function, which drops into the debugger |
| 61 |
x) Old MIPS -> dyntrans! |
without continuing. |

Other stuff: |

| 74 |
|
it gives slightly higher peformance sometimes, it increases |
| 75 |
|
the complexity of the code too much! |
| 76 |
|
|
| 77 |
|
Alpha: |
| 78 |
|
o) Virtual memory (tlbs etc) |
| 79 |
|
o) Get {NetBSD,OpenBSD,Linux}/alpha booting. :) |
| 80 |
|
|
| 81 |
|
SPARC: |
| 82 |
|
o) Add all registers (floating point, control regs etc) |
| 83 |
|
o) Save/restore register windows etc! |
| 84 |
|
o) Disassemly of some more instructions. |
| 85 |
|
o) Are sll etc 32-bit sign-extending or zero-extending? |
| 86 |
|
o) Finish the cmp (subcc) flag computation code. |
| 87 |
|
o) Finish the GDB register stuff. |
| 88 |
|
|
| 89 |
|
Debugger: |
| 90 |
|
o) How does SMP debugging work? Does it simply use "threads"? |
| 91 |
|
What if the guest OS (running on an emulated SMP machine) |
| 92 |
|
has a usertask running, with userland threads? |
| 93 |
|
o) Try to make the debugger more modular and, if possible, reentrant! |
| 94 |
|
o) Remove the emul command? (But show network info if showing |
| 95 |
|
machines?) |
| 96 |
|
o) Generalize the expression evaluator. (debugger_expr.c?) |
| 97 |
|
settable variables ("show nr of instructions on average") |
| 98 |
|
emul[x] defaults to current emul |
| 99 |
|
machine[x] defaults to current machine |
| 100 |
|
cpu[x] defaults to currently focused cpu |
| 101 |
|
registers cpu arch dependent (#-prefix) |
| 102 |
|
symbols @-prefix |
| 103 |
|
numeric constants decimal, hex, and octal ($-prefix) |
| 104 |
|
boolean yes,no, true,false |
| 105 |
|
operators (+ - * / % & | ^ !) |
| 106 |
|
parentheses for grouping subexpressions |
| 107 |
|
NOTE: the change from % to # for register prefix! |
| 108 |
|
examples: |
| 109 |
|
emul[0].machine[2].cpu[0].pc |
| 110 |
|
machine[test2].cpu[1].ra = main |
| 111 |
|
settings.show_trace_tree = yes |
| 112 |
|
|
| 113 |
|
Settings: |
| 114 |
|
o) Remove a setting. |
| 115 |
|
o) Read/write a setting given a name. (Read as |
| 116 |
|
string and/or int64_t simultaneously?) |
| 117 |
|
|
| 118 |
|
Help command should have subsections! One for "expressions", |
| 119 |
|
mirrored in the documentation, but the internal help should |
| 120 |
|
be the one that should be considered correct. |
| 121 |
|
o) see src/debugger.c for more |
| 122 |
|
|
| 123 |
|
POWER/PowerPC: |
| 124 |
|
x) PPC optimizations; instr combs |
| 125 |
|
x) 64-bit stuff |
| 126 |
|
x) find and fix the bug which causes NetBSD/macppc to fail after |
| 127 |
|
an install! |
| 128 |
|
x) macppc: adb controller; keyboard (for framebuffer mode) |
| 129 |
|
x) make OpenBSD/macppc work (PCI controller stuff) |
| 130 |
|
|
| 131 |
|
Algor: |
| 132 |
|
PCI and ISA and LOCAL interrupts! --> wdc could start working |
| 133 |
|
Add interrupt controller in dev_algor.c. |
| 134 |
|
|
| 135 |
|
ARM: |
| 136 |
|
o) try to get netbsd/evbarm 3.x running (iq80321) |
| 137 |
|
o) make the xscale counter registers (ccnt) work |
| 138 |
|
o) make the ata controller usable for FreeBSD! |
| 139 |
|
o) zaurus for openbsd... |
| 140 |
|
o) debian/cats crashes because of unimplemented coproc stuff. |
| 141 |
|
fix this? |
| 142 |
|
|
| 143 |
|
Cache simulation: |
| 144 |
|
o) Separate from the CPU concept, so that multi-core CPUs sharing |
| 145 |
|
e.g. a L2 cache can be simulated (?) |
| 146 |
|
o) Instruction cache emulation is easiest (if separate from the |
| 147 |
|
data cache); similar hack as the S;I; hack in cpu_dyntrans.c. |
| 148 |
|
NOTE: if the architecture has a delay slot, then an instruction |
| 149 |
|
slot can actually be executed as 2 instructions. |
| 150 |
|
o) Data cache emulation = harder; each arch's load/store routines |
| 151 |
|
must include support? running one instruction at a time and |
| 152 |
|
having a cpu-dependant lookup function for each instruction |
| 153 |
|
is another option (easier to implement, but very very slow). |
| 154 |
|
|
| 155 |
|
Documentation: |
| 156 |
|
o) machines, cpus, devices. |
| 157 |
|
o) Automagic documentation generation: |
| 158 |
|
x) REMEMBER that several machines/devices can be in |
| 159 |
|
the same source file! |
| 160 |
|
o) Try to rewrite the install instructions for those machines |
| 161 |
|
that use 3MAX into using CATS? (To remove the need to a raw |
| 162 |
|
ffs partition using up all of the disk image.) |
| 163 |
