++ trunk/HISTORY (local) $Id: HISTORY,v 1.1613 2007/06/15 20:11:26 debug Exp $ 20070501 Continuing a little on m88k disassembly (control registers, more instructions). Adding a dummy mvme88k machine mode. 20070502 Re-adding MIPS load/store alignment exceptions. 20070503 Implementing more of the M88K disassembly code. 20070504 Adding disassembly of some more M88K load/store instructions. Implementing some relatively simple M88K instructions (br.n, xor[.u] imm, and[.u] imm). 20070505 Implementing M88K three-register and, or, xor, and jmp[.n], bsr[.n] including function call trace stuff. Applying a patch from Bruce M. Simpson which implements the SYSCON_BOARD_CPU_CLOCK_FREQ_ID object of the syscon call in the yamon PROM emulation. 20070506 Implementing M88K bb0[.n] and bb1[.n], and skeletons for ldcr and stcr (although no control regs are implemented yet). 20070509 Found and fixed the bug which caused Linux for QEMU_MIPS to stop working in 0.4.5.1: It was a faulty change to the MIPS 'sc' and 'scd' instructions I made while going through gcc -W warnings on 20070428. 20070510 Updating the Linux/QEMU_MIPS section in guestoses.html to use mips-test-0.2.tar.gz instead of 0.1. A big thank you to Miod Vallat for sending me M88K manuals. Implementing more M88K instructions (addu, subu, div[u], mulu, ext[u], clr, set, cmp). 20070511 Fixing bugs in the M88K "and" and "and.u" instructions (found by comparing against the manual). Implementing more M88K instructions (mask[.u], mak, bcnd (auto- generated)) and some more control register details. Cleanup: Removing the experimental AVR emulation mode and corresponding devices; AVR emulation wasn't really meaningful. Implementing autogeneration of most M88K loads/stores. The rectangle drawing demo (with -O0) for M88K runs :-) Beginning on M88K exception handling. More M88K instructions: tb0, tb1, rte, sub, jsr[.n]. Adding some skeleton MVME PROM ("BUG") emulation. 20070512 Fixing a bug in the M88K cmp instruction. Adding the M88K lda (scaled register) instruction. Fixing bugs in 64-bit (32-bit pairs) M88K loads/stores. Removing the unused tick_hz stuff from the machine struct. Implementing the M88K xmem instruction. OpenBSD/mvme88k gets far enough to display the Copyright banner :-) Implementing subu.co (guess), addu.co, addu.ci, ff0, and ff1. Adding a dev_mvme187, for MVME187-specific devices/registers. OpenBSD/mvme88k prints more boot messages. :) 20070515 Continuing on MVME187 emulation (adding more devices, beginning on the CMMUs, etc). Adding the M88K and.c, xor.c, and or.c instructions, and making sure that mul, div, etc cause exceptions if executed when SFD1 is disabled. 20070517 Continuing on M88K and MVME187 emulation in general; moving the CMMU registers to the CPU struct, separating dev_pcc2 from dev_mvme187, and beginning on memory_m88k.c (BATC and PATC). Fixing a bug in 64-bit (32-bit pairs) M88K fast stores. Implementing the clock part of dev_mk48txx. Implementing the M88K fstcr and xcr instructions. Implementing m88k_cpu_tlbdump(). Beginning on the implementation of a separate address space for M88K .usr loads/stores. 20070520 Removing the non-working (skeleton) Sandpoint, SonyNEWS, SHARK Dnard, and Zaurus machine modes. Experimenting with dyntrans to_be_translated read-ahead. It seems to give a very small performance increase for MIPS emulation, but a large performance degradation for SuperH. Hm. 20070522 Disabling correct SuperH ITLB emulation; it does not seem to be necessary in order to let SH4 guest OSes run, and it slows down userspace code. Implementing "samepage" branches for SuperH emulation, and some other minor speed hacks. 20070525 Continuing on M88K memory-related stuff: exceptions, memory transaction register contents, etc. Implementing the M88K subu.ci instruction. Removing the non-working (skeleton) Iyonix machine mode. OpenBSD/mvme88k reaches userland :-), starts executing /sbin/init's instructions, and issues a few syscalls, before crashing. 20070526 Fixing bugs in dev_mk48txx, so that OpenBSD/mvme88k detects the correct time-of-day. Implementing a generic IRQ controller for the test machines (dev_irqc), similar to a proposed patch from Petr Stepan. Experimenting some more with translation read-ahead. Adding an "expect" script for automated OpenBSD/landisk install regression/performance tests. 20070527 Adding a dummy mmEye (SH3) machine mode skeleton. FINALLY found the strange M88K bug I have been hunting: I had not emulated the SNIP value for exceptions occurring in branch delay slots correctly. Implementing correct exceptions for 64-bit M88K loads/stores. Address to symbol lookups are now disabled when M88K is running in usermode (because usermode addresses don't have anything to do with supervisor addresses). 20070531 Removing the mmEye machine mode skeleton. 20070604 Some minor code cleanup. 20070605 Moving src/useremul.c into a subdir (src/useremul/), and cleaning up some more legacy constructs. Adding -Wstrict-aliasing and -fstrict-aliasing detection to the configure script. 20070606 Adding a check for broken GCC on Solaris to the configure script. (GCC 3.4.3 on Solaris cannot handle static variables which are initialized to 0 or NULL. :-/) Removing the old (non-working) ARC emulation modes: NEC RD94, R94, R96, and R98, and the last traces of Olivetti M700 and Deskstation Tyne. Removing the non-working skeleton WDSC device (dev_wdsc). 20070607 Thinking about how to use the host's cc + ld at runtime to generate native code. (See experiments/native_cc_ld_test.i for an example.) 20070608 Adding a program counter sampling timer, which could be useful for native code generation experiments. The KN02_CSR_NRMMOD bit in the DECstation 5000/200 (KN02) CSR should always be set, to allow a 5000/200 PROM to boot. 20070609 Moving out breakpoint details from the machine struct into a helper struct, and removing the limit on max nr of breakpoints. 20070610 Moving out tick functions into a helper struct as well (which also gets rid of the max limit). 20070612 FINALLY figured out why Debian/DECstation stopped working when translation read-ahead was enabled: in src/memory_rw.c, the call to invalidate_code_translation was made also if the memory access was an instruction load (if the page was mapped as writable); it shouldn't be called in that case. 20070613 Implementing some more MIPS32/64 revision 2 instructions: di, ei, ext, dext, dextm, dextu, and ins. 20070614 Implementing an instruction combination for the NetBSD/arm idle loop (making the host not use any cpu if NetBSD/arm inside the emulator is not using any cpu). Increasing the nr of ARM VPH entries from 128 to 384. 20070615 Removing the ENABLE_arch stuff from the configure script, so that all included architectures are included in both release and development builds. Moving memory related helper functions from misc.c to memory.c. Adding preliminary instructions for netbooting NetBSD/pmppc to guestoses.html; it doesn't work yet, there are weird timeouts. Beginning a total rewrite of the userland emulation modes (removing all emulation modes, beginning from scratch with NetBSD/MIPS and FreeBSD/Alpha only). 20070616 After fixing a bug in the DEC21143 NIC (the TDSTAT_OWN bit was only cleared for the last segment when transmitting, not all segments), NetBSD/pmppc boots with root-on-nfs without the timeouts. Updating guestoses.html. Removing the skeleton PSP (Playstation Portable) mode. Moving X11-related stuff in the machine struct into a helper struct. Cleanup of out-of-memory checks, to use a new CHECK_ALLOCATION macro (which prints a meaningful error message). Adding a COMMENT to each machine and device (for automagic .index comment generation). Doing regression testing for the next release. ============== RELEASE 0.4.6 ==============
++ 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 ==============
