++ trunk/HISTORY (local) $Id: HISTORY,v 1.1480 2007/02/19 01:34:42 debug Exp $ 20061029 Changing usleep(1) calls in the debugger to usleep(10000) 20061107 Adding a new disk image option (-d o...) which sets the ISO9660 filesystem base offset; also making some other hacks to allow NetBSD/dreamcast and homebrew demos/games to boot directly from a filesystem image. Moving Dreamcast-specific stuff in the documentation to its own page (dreamcast.html). Adding a border to the Dreamcast PVR framebuffer. 20061108 Adding a -T command line option (again?), for halting the emulator on unimplemented memory accesses. 20061109 Continuing on various SH4 and Dreamcast related things. The emulator should now halt on more unimplemented device accesses, instead of just printing a warning, forcing me to actually implement missing stuff :) 20061111 Continuing on SH4 and Dreamcast stuff. Adding a bogus Landisk (SH4) machine mode. 20061112 Implementing some parts of the Dreamcast GDROM device. With some ugly hacks, NetBSD can (barely) mount an ISO image. 20061113 NetBSD/dreamcast now starts booting from the Live CD image, but crashes randomly quite early on in the boot process. 20061122 Beginning on a skeleton interrupt.h and interrupt.c for the new interrupt subsystem. 20061124 Continuing on the new interrupt system; taking the first steps to attempt to connect CPUs (SuperH and MIPS) and devices (dev_cons and SH4 timer interrupts) to it. Many things will probably break from now on. 20061125 Converting dev_ns16550, dev_8253 to the new interrupt system. Attempting to begin to convert the ISA bus. 20061130 Incorporating a patch from Brian Foley for the configure script, which checks for X11 libs in /usr/X11R6/lib64 (which is used on some Linux systems). 20061227 Adding a note in the man page about booting from Dreamcast CDROM images (i.e. that no external kernel is needed). 20061229 Continuing on the interrupt system rewrite: beginning to convert more devices, adding abort() calls for legacy interrupt system calls so that everything now _has_ to be rewritten! Almost all machine modes are now completely broken. 20061230 More progress on removing old interrupt code, mostly related to the ISA bus + devices, the LCA bus (on AlphaBook1), and the Footbridge bus (for CATS). And some minor PCI stuff. Connecting the ARM cpu to the new interrupt system. The CATS, NetWinder, and QEMU_MIPS machine modes now work with the new interrupt system :) 20061231 Connecting PowerPC CPUs to the new interrupt system. Making PReP machines (IBM 6050) work again. Beginning to convert the GT PCI controller (for e.g. Malta and Cobalt emulation). Some things work, but not everything. Updating Copyright notices for 2007. 20070101 Converting dev_kn02 from legacy style to devinit; the 3max machine mode now works with the new interrupt system :-] 20070105 Beginning to convert the SGI O2 machine to the new interrupt system; finally converting O2 (IP32) devices to devinit, etc. 20070106 Continuing on the interrupt system redesign/rewrite; KN01 (PMAX), KN230, and Dreamcast ASIC interrupts should work again, moving out stuff from machine.h and devices.h into the corresponding devices, beginning the rewrite of i80321 interrupts, etc. 20070107 Beginning on the rewrite of Eagle interrupt stuff (PReP, etc). 20070117 Beginning the rewrite of Algor (V3) interrupts (finally changing dev_v3 into devinit style). 20070118 Removing the "bus" registry concept from machine.h, because it was practically meaningless. Continuing on the rewrite of Algor V3 ISA interrupts. 20070121 More work on Algor interrupts; they are now working again, well enough to run NetBSD/algor. :-) 20070122 Converting VR41xx (HPCmips) interrupts. NetBSD/hpcmips can be installed using the new interrupt system :-) 20070123 Making the testmips mode work with the new interrupt system. 20070127 Beginning to convert DEC5800 devices to devinit, and to the new interrupt system. Converting Playstation 2 devices to devinit, and converting the interrupt system. Also fixing a severe bug: the interrupt mask register on Playstation 2 is bitwise _toggled_ on writes. 20070128 Removing the dummy NetGear machine mode and the 8250 device (which was only used by the NetGear machine). Beginning to convert the MacPPC GC (Grand Central) interrupt controller to the new interrupt system. Converting Jazz interrupts (PICA61 etc.) to the new interrupt system. NetBSD/arc can be installed again :-) Fixing the JAZZ timer (hardcoding it at 100 Hz, works with NetBSD and it is better than a completely dummy timer as it was before). Converting dev_mp to the new interrupt system, although I haven't had time to actually test it yet. Completely removing src/machines/interrupts.c, cpu_interrupt and cpu_interrupt_ack in src/cpu.c, and src/include/machine_interrupts.h! Adding fatal error messages + abort() in the few places that are left to fix. Converting dev_z8530 to the new interrupt system. FINALLY removing the md_int struct completely from the machine struct. SH4 fixes (adding a PADDR invalidation in the ITLB replacement code in memory_sh.c); the NetBSD/dreamcast LiveCD now runs all the way to the login prompt, and can be interacted with :-) Converting the CPC700 controller (PCI and interrupt controller for PM/PPC) to the new interrupt system. 20070129 Fixing MACE ISA interrupts (SGI IP32 emulation). Both NetBSD/ sgimips' and OpenBSD/sgi's ramdisk kernels can now be interacted with again. 20070130 Moving out the MIPS multi_lw and _sw instruction combinations so that they are auto-generated at compile time instead. 20070131 Adding detection of amd64/x86_64 hosts in the configure script, for doing initial experiments (again :-) with native code generation. Adding a -k command line option to set the size of the dyntrans cache, and a -B command line option to disable native code generation, even if GXemul was compiled with support for native code generation for the specific host CPU architecture. 20070201 Experimenting with a skeleton for native code generation. Changing the default behaviour, so that native code generation is now disabled by default, and has to be enabled by using -b on the command line. 20070202 Continuing the native code generation experiments. Making PCI interrupts work for Footbridge again. 20070203 More native code generation experiments. Removing most of the native code generation experimental code, it does not make sense to include any quick hacks like this. Minor cleanup/removal of some more legacy MIPS interrupt code. 20070204 Making i80321 interrupts work again (for NetBSD/evbarm etc.), and fixing the timer at 100 Hz. 20070206 Experimenting with removing the wdc interrupt slowness hack. 20070207 Lowering the number of dyntrans TLB entries for MIPS from 192 to 128, resulting in a minor speed improvement. Minor optimization to the code invalidation routine in cpu_dyntrans.c. 20070208 Increasing (experimentally) the nr of dyntrans instructions per loop from 60 to 120. 20070210 Commenting out (experimentally) the dyntrans_device_danger detection in memory_rw.c. Changing the testmips and baremips machines to use a revision 2 MIPS64 CPU by default, instead of revision 1. Removing the dummy i960, IA64, x86, AVR32, and HP PA-RISC files, the PC bios emulation, and the Olivetti M700 (ARC) and db64360 emulation modes. 20070211 Adding an "mp" demo to the demos directory, which tests the SMP functionality of the testmips machine. Fixing PReP interrupts some more. NetBSD/prep now boots again. 20070216 Adding a "nop workaround" for booting Mach/PMAX to the documentation; thanks to Artur Bujdoso for the values. Converting more of the MacPPC interrupt stuff to the new system. Beginning to convert BeBox interrupts to the new system. PPC603e should NOT have the PPC_NO_DEC flag! Removing it. Correcting BeBox clock speed (it was set to 100 in the NetBSD bootinfo block, but should be 33000000/4), allowing NetBSD to start without using the (incorrect) PPC_NO_DEC hack. 20070217 Implementing (slow) AltiVec vector loads and stores, allowing NetBSD/macppc to finally boot using the GENERIC kernel :-) Updating the documentation with install instructions for NetBSD/macppc. 20070218-19 Regression testing for the release. ============== RELEASE 0.4.4 ==============
++ trunk/HISTORY (local) $Id: HISTORY,v 1.1055 2005/11/25 22:48:36 debug Exp $ 20051031 Adding disassembly support for more ARM instructions (clz, smul* etc), and adding a hack to support "new tiny" pages for StrongARM. 20051101 Minor documentation updates (NetBSD 2.0.2 -> 2.1, and OpenBSD 3.7 -> 3.8, and lots of testing). Changing from 1-sector PIO mode 0 transfers to 128-sector PIO mode 3 (in dev_wdc). Various minor ARM dyntrans updates (pc-relative loads from within the same page as the instruction are now treated as constant "mov"). 20051102 Re-enabling instruction combinations (they were accidentally disabled). Dyntrans TLB entries are now overwritten using a round-robin scheme instead of randomly. This increases performance. Fixing a typo in file.c (thanks to Chuan-Hua Chang for noticing it). Experimenting with adding ATAPI support to dev_wdc (to make emulated *BSD detect cdroms as cdroms, not harddisks). 20051104 Various minor updates. 20051105 Continuing on the ATAPI emulation. Seems to work well enough for a NetBSD/cats installation, but not OpenBSD/cats. Various other updates. 20051106 Modifying the -Y command line option to allow scaleup with certain graphic controllers (only dev_vga so far), not just scaledown. Some minor dyntrans cleanups. 20051107 Beginning a cleanup up the PCI subsystem (removing the read_register hack, etc). 20051108 Continuing the cleanup; splitting up some pci devices into a normal autodev device and some separate pci glue code. 20051109 Continuing on the PCI bus stuff; all old pci_*.c have been incorporated into normal devices and/or rewritten as glue code only, adding a dummy Intel 82371AB PIIX4 for Malta (not really tested yet). Minor pckbc fix so that Linux doesn't complain. Working on the DEC 21143 NIC (ethernet mac rom stuff mostly). Various other minor fixes. 20051110 Some more ARM dyntrans fine-tuning (e.g. some instruction combinations (cmps followed by conditional branch within the same page) and special cases for DPIs with regform when the shifter isn't used). 20051111 ARM dyntrans updates: O(n)->O(1) for just-mark-as-non- writable in the generic pc_to_pointers function, and some other minor hacks. Merging Cobalt and evbmips (Malta) ISA interrupt handling, and some minor fixes to allow Linux to accept harddisk irqs. 20051112 Minor device updates (pckbc, dec21143, lpt, ...), most importantly fixing the ALI M1543/M5229 so that harddisk irqs work with Linux/CATS. 20051113 Some more generalizations of the PCI subsystem. Finally took the time to add a hack for SCSI CDROM TOCs; this enables OpenBSD to use partition 'a' (as needed by the OpenBSD installer), and Windows NT's installer to get a bit further. Also fixing dev_wdc to allow Linux to detect ATAPI CDROMs. Continuing on the DEC 21143. 20051114 Minor ARM dyntrans tweaks; ARM cmps+branch optimization when comparing with 0, and generalizing the xchg instr. comb. Adding disassembly of ARM mrrc/mcrr and q{,d}{add,sub}. 20051115 Continuing on various PPC things (BATs, other address trans- lation things, various loads/stores, BeBox emulation, etc.). Beginning to work on PPC interrupt/exception support. 20051116 Factoring out some code which initializes legacy ISA devices from those machines that use them (bus_isa). Continuing on PPC interrupt/exception support. 20051117 Minor Malta fixes: RTC year offset = 80, disabling a speed hack which caused NetBSD to detect a too fast cpu, and adding a new hack to make Linux detect a faster cpu. Continuing on the Artesyn PM/PPC emulation mode. Adding an Algor emulation skeleton (P4032 and P5064); implementing some of the basics. Continuing on PPC emulation in general; usage of unimplemented SPRs is now easier to track, continuing on memory/exception related issues, etc. 20051118 More work on PPC emulation (tgpr0..3, exception handling, memory stuff, syscalls, etc.). 20051119 Changing the ARM dyntrans code to mostly use cpu->pc, and not necessarily use arm reg 15. Seems to work. Various PPC updates; continuing on the PReP emulation mode. 20051120 Adding a workaround/hack to dev_mc146818 to allow NetBSD/prep to detect the clock. 20051121 More cleanup of the PCI bus (memory and I/O bases, etc). Continuing on various PPC things (decrementer and timebase, WDCs on obio (on PReP) use irq 13, not 14/15). 20051122 Continuing on the CPC700 controller (interrupts etc) for PMPPC, and on PPC stuff in general. Finally! After some bug fixes to the virtual to physical addr translation, NetBSD/{prep,pmppc} 2.1 reach userland and are stable enough to be interacted with. More PCI updates; reverse-endian device access for PowerPC etc. 20051123 Generalizing the IEEE floating point subsystem (moving it out from src/cpus/cpu_mips_coproc.c into a new src/float_emul.c). Input via slave xterms was sometimes not really working; fixing this for ns16550, and a warning message is now displayed if multiple non-xterm consoles are active. Adding some PPC floating point support, etc. Various interrupt related updates (dev_wdc, _ns16550, _8259, and the isa32 common code in machine.c). NetBSD/prep can now be installed! :-) (Well, with some manual commands necessary before running sysinst.) Updating the documentation and various other things to reflect this. 20051124 Various minor documentation updates. Continuing the work on the DEC 21143 NIC. 20051125 LOTS of work on the 21143. Both OpenBSD and NetBSD work fine with it now, except that OpenBSD sometimes gives a time-out warning. Minor documentation updates. ============== RELEASE 0.3.7 ==============
++ trunk/HISTORY (local) $Id: HISTORY,v 1.982 2005/10/07 22:45:32 debug Exp $ 20050816 Some success in decoding the way the SGI O2 PROM draws graphics during bootup; lines/rectangles and bitmaps work, enough to show the bootlogo etc. :-) Adding more PPC instructions, and (dummy) BAT registers. 20050817 Updating the pckbc to support scancode type 3 keyboards (required in order to interact with the SGI O2 PROM). Adding more PPC instructions. 20050818 Adding more ARM instructions; general register forms. Importing armreg.h from NetBSD (ARM cpu ids). Adding a (dummy) CATS machine mode (using SA110 as the default CPU). Continuing on general dyntrans related stuff. 20050819 Register forms for ARM load/stores. Gaah! The Compaq C Compiler bug is triggered for ARM loads as well, not just PPC :-( Adding full support for ARM PC-relative load/stores, and load/ stores where the PC register is the destination register. Adding support for ARM a.out binaries. 20050820 Continuing to add more ARM instructions, and correcting some bugs. Continuing on CATS emulation. More work on the PPC stuff. 20050821 Minor PPC and ARM updates. Adding more machine types. 20050822 All ARM "data processing instructions" are now generated automatically. 20050824 Beginning the work on the ARM system control coprocessor. Adding support for ARM halfword load/stores, and signed loads. 20050825 Fixing an important bug related to the ARM condition codes. OpenBSD/zaurus and NetBSD/netwinder now print some boot messages. :) Adding a dummy SH (Hitachi SuperH) cpu family. Beginning to add some ARM virtual address translation. MIPS bugfixes: unaligned PC now cause an ADEL exception (at least for non-bintrans execution), and ADEL/ADES (not TLBL/TLBS) are used if userland tries to access kernel space. (Thanks to Joshua Wise for making me aware of these bugs.) 20050827 More work on the ARM emulation, and various other updates. 20050828 More ARM updates. Finally taking the time to work on translation invalidation (i.e. invalidating translated code mappings when memory is written to). Hopefully this doesn't break anything. 20050829 Moving CPU related files from src/ to a new subdir, src/cpus/. Moving PROM emulation stuff from src/ to src/promemul/. Better debug instruction trace for ARM loads and stores. 20050830 Various ARM updates (correcting CMP flag calculation, etc). 20050831 PPC instruction updates. (Flag fixes, etc.) 20050901 Various minor PPC and ARM instruction emulation updates. Minor OpenFirmware emulation updates. 20050903 Adding support for adding arbitrary ARM coprocessors (with the i80321 I/O coprocessor as a first test). Various other ARM and PPC updates. 20050904 Adding some SHcompact disassembly routines. 20050907 (Re)adding a dummy HPPA CPU module, and a dummy i960 module. 20050908 Began hacking on some Apple Partition Table support. 20050909 Adding support for loading Mach-O (Darwin PPC) binaries. 20050910 Fixing an ARM bug (Carry flag was incorrectly updated for some data processing instructions); OpenBSD/cats and NetBSD/ netwinder get quite a bit further now. Applying a patch to dev_wdc, and a one-liner to dev_pcic, to make them work better when emulating new versions of OpenBSD. (Thanks to Alexander Yurchenko for the patches.) Also doing some other minor updates to dev_wdc. (Some cleanup, and finally converting to devinit, etc.) 20050912 IRIX doesn't have u_int64_t by default (noticed by Andreas <avr@gnulinux.nl>); configure updated to reflect this. Working on ARM register bank switching, CPSR vs SPSR issues, and beginning the work on interrupt/exception support. 20050913 Various minor ARM updates (speeding up load/store multiple, and fixing a ROR bug in R(); NetBSD/cats now boots as far as OpenBSD/cats). 20050917 Adding a dummy Atmel AVR (8-bit) cpu family skeleton. 20050918 Various minor updates. 20050919 Symbols are now loaded from Mach-O executables. Continuing the work on adding ARM exception support. 20050920 More work on ARM stuff: OpenBSD/cats and NetBSD/cats reach userland! :-) 20050921 Some more progress on ARM interrupt specifics. 20050923 Fixing linesize for VR4121 (patch by Yurchenko). Also fixing linesizes/cachesizes for some other VR4xxx. Adding a dummy Acer Labs M1543 PCI-ISA bridge (for CATS) and a dummy Symphony Labs 83C553 bridge (for Netwinder), usable by dev_footbridge. 20050924 Some PPC progress. 20050925 More PPC progress. 20050926 PPC progress (fixing some bugs etc); Darwin's kernel gets slightly further than before. 20050928 Various updates: footbridge/ISA/pciide stuff, and finally fixing the VGA text scroll-by-changing-the-base-offset bug. 20050930 Adding a dummy S3 ViRGE pci card for CATS emulation, which both NetBSD and OpenBSD detects as VGA. Continuing on Footbridge (timers, ISA interrupt stuff). 20051001 Continuing... there are still bugs, probably interrupt- related. 20051002 More work on the Footbridge (interrupt stuff). 20051003 Various minor updates. (Trying to find the bug(s).) 20051004 Continuing on the ARM stuff. 20051005 More ARM-related fixes. 20051007 FINALLY! Found and fixed 2 ARM bugs: 1 memory related, and the other was because of an error in the ARM manual (load multiple with the S-bit set should _NOT_ load usermode registers, as the manual says, but it should load saved registers, which may or may not happen to be usermode registers). NetBSD/cats and OpenBSD/cats seem to install fine now :-) except for a minor bug at the end of the OpenBSD/cats install. Updating the documentation, preparing for the next release. 20051008 Continuing with release testing and cleanup.
