++ trunk/HISTORY (local) $Id: HISTORY,v 1.1497 2007/03/18 03:41:36 debug Exp $ 20070224 Minor update to the initialization of the ns16550 in machine_walnut.c, to allow that machine type to boot with the new interrupt system (although it is still a dummy machine). Adding a wdc at 0x14000000 to machine_landisk.c, and fixing the SCIF serial interrupts of the SH4 cpu enough to get NetBSD/landisk booting from a disk image :-) Adding a preliminary install instruction skeleton to guestoses.html. 20070306 Adding SH-IPL+G PROM emulation, and also passing the "end" symbol in r5 on bootup, for Landisk emulation. This is enough to get OpenBSD/landisk to install :) Adding a preliminary install instruction skeleton to the documentation. SuperH emulation is still shaky, though :-/ 20070307 Fixed a strangeness in memory_sh.c (read/write was never returned for any page). (Unknown whether this fixes any actual problems, though.) 20070308 dev_ram.c fix: invalidate code translations on writes to RAM, emulated as separate devices. Linux/dreamcast gets further in the boot process than before, but still bugs out in userland. Fixing bugs in the "stc.l gbr,@-rN" and "ldc.l @rN+,gbr" SuperH instructions (they should NOT check the MD bit), allowing the Linux/dreamcast Live CD to reach userland correctly :-) 20070310 Changing the cpu name "Alpha" in src/useremul.c to "21364" to unbreak userland syscall emulation of FreeBSD/Alpha binaries. 20070314 Applying a patch from Michael Yaroslavtsev which fixes the previous Linux lib64 patch to the configure script. 20070315 Adding a (dummy) sun4v machine type, and SPARC T1 cpu type. 20070316 Creating a new directory, src/disk, and moving diskimage.c to it. Separating out bootblock loading stuff from emul.c into new files in src/disk. Adding some more SPARC registers. 20070318 Preparing/testing for a minirelease, 0.4.4.1. ============== RELEASE 0.4.4.1 ==============
++ 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 1.1421 2006/11/06 05:32:37 debug Exp $ 20060816 Adding a framework for emulated/virtual timers (src/timer.c), using only setitimer(). Rewriting the mc146818 to use the new timer framework. 20060817 Adding a call to gettimeofday() every now and then (once every second, at the moment) to resynch the timer if it drifts. Beginning to convert the ISA timer interrupt mechanism (8253 and 8259) to use the new timer framework. Removing the -I command line option. 20060819 Adding the -I command line option again, with new semantics. Working on Footbridge timer interrupts; NetBSD/NetWinder and NetBSD/CATS now run at correct speed, but unfortunately with HUGE delays during bootup. 20060821 Some minor m68k updates. Adding the first instruction: nop. :) Minor Alpha emulation updates. 20060822 Adding a FreeBSD development specific YAMON environment variable ("khz") (as suggested by Bruce M. Simpson). Moving YAMON environment variable initialization from machine_evbmips.c into promemul/yamon.c, and adding some more variables. Continuing on the LCA PCI bus controller (for Alpha machines). 20060823 Continuing on the timer stuff: experimenting with MIPS count/ compare interrupts connected to the timer framework. 20060825 Adding bogus SCSI commands 0x51 (SCSICDROM_READ_DISCINFO) and 0x52 (SCSICDROM_READ_TRACKINFO) to the SCSI emulation layer, to allow NetBSD/pmax 4.0_BETA to be installed from CDROM. Minor updates to the LCA PCI controller. 20060827 Implementing a CHIP8 cpu mode, and a corresponding CHIP8 machine, for fun. Disassembly support for all instructions, and most of the common instructions have been implemented: mvi, mov_imm, add_imm, jmp, rand, cls, sprite, skeq_imm, jsr, skne_imm, bcd, rts, ldr, str, mov, or, and, xor, add, sub, font, ssound, sdelay, gdelay, bogus skup/skpr, skeq, skne. 20060828 Beginning to convert the CHIP8 cpu in the CHIP8 machine to a (more correct) RCA 180x cpu. (Disassembly for all 1802 instructions has been implemented, but no execution yet, and no 1805 extended instructions.) 20060829 Minor Alpha emulation updates. 20060830 Beginning to experiment a little with PCI IDE for SGI O2. Fixing the cursor key mappings for MobilePro 770 emulation. Fixing the LK201 warning caused by recent NetBSD/pmax. The MIPS R41xx standby, suspend, and hibernate instructions now behave like the RM52xx/MIPS32/MIPS64 wait instruction. Fixing dev_wdc so it calculates correct (64-bit) offsets before giving them to diskimage_access(). 20060831 Continuing on Alpha emulation (OSF1 PALcode). 20060901 Minor Alpha updates; beginning on virtual memory pagetables. Removed the limit for max nr of devices (in preparation for allowing devices' base addresses to be changed during runtime). Adding a hack for MIPS [d]mfc0 select 0 (except the count register), so that the coproc register is simply copied. The MIPS suspend instruction now exits the emulator, instead of being treated as a wait instruction (this causes NetBSD/ hpcmips to get correct 'halt' behavior). The VR41xx RTC now returns correct time. Connecting the VR41xx timer to the timer framework (fixed at 128 Hz, for now). Continuing on SPARC emulation, adding more instructions: restore, ba_xcc, ble. The rectangle drawing demo works :) Removing the last traces of the old ENABLE_CACHE_EMULATION MIPS stuff (not usable with dyntrans anyway). 20060902 Splitting up src/net.c into several smaller files in its own subdirectory (src/net/). 20060903 Cleanup of the files in src/net/, to make them less ugly. 20060904 Continuing on the 'settings' subsystem. Minor progress on the SPARC emulation mode. 20060905 Cleanup of various things, and connecting the settings infrastructure to various subsystems (emul, machine, cpu, etc). Changing the lk201 mouse update routine to not rely on any emulated hardware framebuffer cursor coordinates, but instead always do (semi-usable) relative movements. 20060906 Continuing on the lk201 mouse stuff. Mouse behaviour with multiple framebuffers (which was working in Ultrix) is now semi-broken (but it still works, in a way). Moving the documentation about networking into its own file (networking.html), and refreshing it a bit. Adding an example of how to use ethernet frame direct-access (udp_snoop). 20060907 Continuing on the settings infrastructure. 20060908 Minor updates to SH emulation: for 32-bit emulation: delay slots and the 'jsr @Rn' instruction. I'm putting 64-bit SH5 on ice, for now. 20060909-10 Implementing some more 32-bit SH instructions. Removing the 64-bit mode completely. Enough has now been implemented to run the rectangle drawing demo. :-) 20060912 Adding more SH instructions. 20060916 Continuing on SH emulation (some more instructions: div0u, div1, rotcl/rotcr, more mov instructions, dt, braf, sets, sett, tst_imm, dmuls.l, subc, ldc_rm_vbr, movt, clrt, clrs, clrmac). Continuing on the settings subsystem (beginning on reading/ writing settings, removing bugs, and connecting more cpus to the framework). 20060919 More work on SH emulation; adding an ldc banked instruction, and attaching a 640x480 framebuffer to the Dreamcast machine mode (NetBSD/dreamcast prints the NetBSD copyright banner :-), and then panics). 20060920 Continuing on the settings subsystem. 20060921 Fixing the Footbridge timer stuff so that NetBSD/cats and NetBSD/netwinder boot up without the delays. 20060922 Temporarily hardcoding MIPS timer interrupt to 100 Hz. With 'wait' support disabled, NetBSD/malta and Linux/malta run at correct speed. 20060923 Connecting dev_gt to the timer framework, so that NetBSD/cobalt runs at correct speed. Moving SH4-specific memory mapped registers into its own device (dev_sh4.c). Running with -N now prints "idling" instead of bogus nr of instrs/second (which isn't valid anyway) while idling. 20060924 Algor emulation should now run at correct speed. Adding disassembly support for some MIPS64 revision 2 instructions: ext, dext, dextm, dextu. 20060926 The timer framework now works also when the MIPS wait instruction is used. 20060928 Re-implementing checks for coprocessor availability for MIPS cop0 instructions. (Thanks to Carl van Schaik for noticing the lack of cop0 availability checks.) 20060929 Implementing an instruction combination hack which treats NetBSD/pmax' idle loop as a wait-like instruction. 20060930 The ENTRYHI_R_MASK was missing in (at least) memory_mips_v2p.c, causing TLB lookups to sometimes succeed when they should have failed. (A big thank you to Juli Mallett for noticing the problem.) Adding disassembly support for more MIPS64 revision 2 opcodes (seb, seh, wsbh, jalr.hb, jr.hb, synci, ins, dins, dinsu, dinsm, dsbh, dshd, ror, dror, rorv, drorv, dror32). Also implementing seb, seh, dsbh, dshd, and wsbh. Implementing an instruction combination hack for Linux/pmax' idle loop, similar to the NetBSD/pmax case. 20061001 Changing the NetBSD/sgimips install instructions to extract files from an iso image, instead of downloading them via ftp. 20061002 More-than-31-bit userland addresses in memory_mips_v2p.c were not actually working; applying a fix from Carl van Schaik to enable them to work + making some other updates (adding kuseg support). Fixing hpcmips (vr41xx) timer initialization. Experimenting with O(n)->O(1) reduction in the MIPS TLB lookup loop. Seems to work both for R3000 and non-R3000. 20061003 Continuing a little on SH emulation (adding more control registers; mini-cleanup of memory_sh.c). 20061004 Beginning on a dev_rtc, a clock/timer device for the test machines; also adding a demo, and some documentation. Fixing a bug in SH "mov.w @(disp,pc),Rn" (the result wasn't sign-extended), and adding the addc and ldtlb instructions. 20061005 Contining on SH emulation: virtual to physical address translation, and a skeleton exception mechanism. 20061006 Adding more SH instructions (various loads and stores, rte, negc, muls.w, various privileged register-move instructions). 20061007 More SH instructions: various move instructions, trapa, div0s, float, fdiv, ftrc. Continuing on dev_rtc; removing the rtc demo. 20061008 Adding a dummy Dreamcast PROM module. (Homebrew Dreamcast programs using KOS libs need this.) Adding more SH instructions: "stc vbr,rn", rotl, rotr, fsca, fmul, fadd, various floating-point moves, etc. A 256-byte demo for Dreamcast runs :-) 20061012 Adding the SH "lds Rm,pr" and bsr instructions. 20061013 More SH instructions: "sts fpscr,rn", tas.b, and some more floating point instructions, cmp/str, and more moves. Adding a dummy dev_pvr (Dreamcast graphics controller). 20061014 Generalizing the expression evaluator (used in the built-in debugger) to support parentheses and +-*/%^&|. 20061015 Removing the experimental tlb index hint code in mips_memory_v2p.c, since it didn't really have any effect. 20061017 Minor SH updates; adding the "sts pr,Rn", fcmp/gt, fneg, frchg, and some other instructions. Fixing missing sign- extension in an 8-bit load instruction. 20061019 Adding a simple dev_dreamcast_rtc. Implementing memory-mapped access to the SH ITLB/UTLB arrays. 20061021 Continuing on various SH and Dreamcast things: sh4 timers, debug messages for dev_pvr, fixing some virtual address translation bugs, adding the bsrf instruction. The NetBSD/dreamcast GENERIC_MD kernel now reaches userland :) Adding a dummy dev_dreamcast_asic.c (not really useful yet). Implementing simple support for Store Queues. Beginning on the PVR Tile Accelerator. 20061022 Generalizing the PVR framebuffer to support off-screen drawing, multiple bit-depths, etc. (A small speed penalty, but most likely worth it.) Adding more SH instructions (mulu.w, fcmp/eq, fsub, fmac, fschg, and some more); correcting bugs in "fsca" and "float". 20061024 Adding the SH ftrv (matrix * vector) instruction. Marcus Comstedt's "tatest" example runs :) (wireframe only). Correcting disassembly for SH floating point instructions that use the xd* registers. Adding the SH fsts instruction. In memory_device_dyntrans_access(), only the currently used range is now invalidated, and not the entire device range. 20061025 Adding a dummy AVR32 cpu mode skeleton. 20061026 Various Dreamcast updates; beginning on a Maple bus controller. 20061027 Continuing on the Maple bus. A bogus Controller, Keyboard, and Mouse can now be detected by NetBSD and KOS homebrew programs. Cleaning up the SH4 Timer Management Unit, and beginning on SH4 interrupts. Implementing the Dreamcast SYSASIC. 20061028 Continuing on the SYSASIC. Adding the SH fsqrt instruction. memory_sh.c now actually scans the ITLB. Fixing a bug in dev_sh4.c, related to associative writes into the memory-mapped UTLB array. NetBSD/dreamcast now reaches userland stably, and prints the "Terminal type?" message :-] Implementing enough of the Dreamcast keyboard to make NetBSD accept it for input. Enabling SuperH for stable (non-development) builds. Adding NetBSD/dreamcast to the documentation, although it doesn't support root-on-nfs yet. 20061029 Changing usleep(1) calls in the debugger to to usleep(10000) (according to Brian Foley, this makes GXemul run better on MacOS X). Making the Maple "Controller" do something (enough to barely interact with dcircus.elf). 20061030-31 Some progress on the PVR. More test programs start running (but with strange output). Various other SH4-related updates. 20061102 Various Dreamcast and SH4 updates; more KOS demos run now. 20061104 Adding a skeleton dev_mb8696x.c (the Dreamcast's LAN adapter). 20061105 Continuing on the MB8696x; NetBSD/dreamcast detects it as mbe0. Testing for the release. ============== RELEASE 0.4.3 ==============
++ trunk/HISTORY (local) $Id: HISTORY,v 1.1121 2006/02/18 21:03:08 debug Exp $ 20051126 Cobalt and PReP now work with the 21143 NIC. Continuing on Alpha dyntrans things. Fixing some more left-shift-by-24 to unsigned. 20051127 Working on OpenFirmware emulation; major cleanup/redesign. Progress on MacPPC emulation: NetBSD detects two CPUs (when running with -n 2), framebuffer output (for text) works. Adding quick-hack Bandit PCI controller and "gc" interrupt controller for MacPPC. 20051128 Changing from a Bandit to a Uni-North controller for macppc. Continuing on OpenFirmware and MacPPC emulation in general (obio controller, and wdc attached to the obio seems to work). 20051129 More work on MacPPC emulation (adding a dummy ADB controller). Continuing the PCI bus cleanup (endianness and tag composition) and rewriting all PCI controllers' access functions. 20051130 Various minor PPC dyntrans optimizations. Manually inlining some parts of the framebuffer redraw routine. Slowly beginning the conversion of the old MIPS emulation into dyntrans (but this will take quite some time to get right). Generalizing quick_pc_to_pointers. 20051201 Documentation update (David Muse has made available a kernel which simplifies Debian/DECstation installation). Continuing on the ADB bus controller. 20051202 Beginning a rewrite of the Zilog serial controller (dev_zs). 20051203 Continuing on the zs rewrite (now called dev_z8530); conversion to devinit style. Reworking some of the input-only vs output-only vs input-output details of src/console.c, better warning messages, and adding a debug dump. Removing the concept of "device state"; it wasn't really used. Changing some debug output (-vv should now be used to show all details about devices and busses; not shown during normal startup anymore). Beginning on some SPARC instruction disassembly support. 20051204 Minor PPC updates (WALNUT skeleton stuff). Continuing on the MIPS dyntrans rewrite. More progress on the ADB controller (a keyboard is "detected" by NetBSD and OpenBSD). Downgrading OpenBSD/arc as a guest OS from "working" to "almost working" in the documentation. Progress on Algor emulation ("v3" PCI controller). 20051205 Minor updates. 20051207 Sorting devices according to address; this reduces complexity of device lookups from O(n) to O(log n) in memory_rw (but no real performance increase (yet) in experiments). 20051210 Beginning the work on native dyntrans backends (by making a simple skeleton; so far only for Alpha hosts). 20051211 Some very minor SPARC updates. 20051215 Fixing a bug in the MIPS mul (note: not mult) instruction, so it also works with non-64-bit emulation. (Thanks to Alec Voropay for noticing the problem.) 20051216 More work on the fake/empty/simple/skeleton/whatever backend; performance doesn't increase, so this isn't really worth it, but it was probably worth it to prepare for a real backend later. 20051219 More instr call statistics gathering and analysis stuff. 20051220 Another fix for MIPS 'mul'. Also converting mul and {d,}cl{o,z} to dyntrans. memory_ppc.c syntax error fix (noticed by Peter Valchev). Beginning to move out machines from src/machine.c into individual files in src/machines (in a way similar to the autodev system for devices). 20051222 Updating the documentation regarding NetBSD/pmax 3.0. 20051223 - " - NetBSD/cats 3.0. 20051225 - " - NetBSD/hpcmips 3.0. 20051226 Continuing on the machine registry redesign. Adding support for ARM rrx (33-bit rotate). Fixing some signed/unsigned issues (exposed by gcc -W). 20051227 Fixing the bug which prevented a NetBSD/prep 3.0 install kernel from starting (triggered when an mtmsr was the last instruction on a page). Unfortunately not enough to get the kernel to run as well as the 2.1 kernels did. 20051230 Some dyntrans refactoring. 20051231 Continuing on the machine registry redesign. 20060101-10 Continuing... moving more machines. Moving MD interrupt stuff from machine.c into a new src/machines/interrupts.c. 20060114 Adding various mvmeppc machine skeletons. 20060115 Continuing on mvme* stuff. NetBSD/mvmeppc prints boot messages (for MVME1600) and reaches the root device prompt, but no specific hardware devices are emulated yet. 20060116 Minor updates to the mvme1600 emulation mode; the Eagle PCI bus seems to work without much modification, and a 21143 can be detected, interrupts might work (but untested so far). Adding a fake MK48Txx (mkclock) device, for NetBSD/mvmeppc. 20060121 Adding an aux control register for ARM. (A BIG thank you to Olivier Houchard for tracking down this bug.) 20060122 Adding more ARM instructions (smulXY), and dev_iq80321_7seg. 20060124 Adding disassembly of more ARM instructions (mia*, mra/mar), and some semi-bogus XScale and i80321 registers. 20060201-02 Various minor updates. Moving the last machines out of machine.c. 20060204 Adding a -c command line option, for running debugger commands before the simulation starts, but after all files have been loaded. Minor iq80321-related updates. 20060209 Minor hacks (DEVINIT macro, etc). Preparing for the generalization of the 64-bit dyntrans address translation subsystem. 20060216 Adding ARM ldrd (double-register load). 20060217 Continuing on various ARM-related stuff. 20060218 More progress on the ATA/wdc emulation for NetBSD/iq80321. NetBSD/evbarm can now be installed :-) Updating the docs, etc. Continuing on Algor emulation. ============== RELEASE 0.3.8 ==============
++ 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 1.1004 2005/10/27 14:01:10 debug Exp $ 20051011 Passing -A as the default boot arg for CATS (works fine with OpenBSD/cats). 20051012 Fixing the VGA cursor offset bug, and speeding up framebuffer redraws if character cells contain the same thing as during the last redraw. 20051013 Adding a slow strd ARM instruction hack. 20051017 Minor updates: Adding a dummy i80321 Verde controller (for XScale emulation), fixing the disassembly of the ARM "ldrd" instruction, adding "support" for less-than-4KB pages for ARM (by not adding them to translation tables). 20051020 Continuing on some HPCarm stuff. A NetBSD/hpcarm kernel prints some boot messages on an emulated Jornada 720. Making dev_ram work better with dyntrans (speeds up some things quite a bit). 20051021 Automatically generating some of the most common ARM load/store multiple instructions. 20051022 Better statistics gathering for the ARM load/store multiple. Various other dyntrans and device updates. 20051023 Various minor updates. 20051024 Continuing; minor device and dyntrans fine-tuning. Adding the first "reasonable" instruction combination hacks for ARM (the cores of NetBSD/cats' memset and memcpy). 20051025 Fixing a dyntrans-related bug in dev_vga. Also changing the dyntrans low/high access notification to only be updated on writes, not reads. Hopefully it will be enough. (dev_vga in charcell mode now seems to work correctly with both reads and writes.) Experimenting with gathering dyntrans statistics (which parts of emulated RAM that are actually executed), and adding instruction combination hacks for cache cleaning and a part of NetBSD's scanc() function. 20051026 Adding a bitmap for ARM emulation which indicates if a page is (specifically) user accessible; loads and stores with the t- flag set can now use the translation arrays, which results in a measurable speedup. 20051027 Dyntrans updates; adding an extra bitmap array for 32-bit emulation modes, speeding up the check whether a physical page has any code translations or not (O(n) -> O(1)). Doing a similar reduction of O(n) to O(1) by avoiding the scan through the translation entries on a translation update (32-bit mode only). Various other minor hacks. 20051029 Quick release, without any testing at all. ============== RELEASE 0.3.6.2 ==============
++ trunk/HISTORY (local) $Id: HISTORY,v 1.772 2005/06/04 12:02:16 debug Exp $ 20050428 Disabling the "-fmove-all-movables" option in the configure script, because it causes the compile to fail on OpenBSD/sgi. 20050502 Minor updates. 20050503 Removing the WRT54G mode (it was bogus anyway), and adding a comment about Windows NT for MIPS in doc/experiments.html. Minor updates to the x86 instruction decoding. 20050504 Adding some more x86 instructions. Adding support for reading files from ISO9660 CDROMs (including gzipped files). It's an ugly hack, but it seems to work. Various other minor updates (dev_vga.c, pc_bios.c etc). 20050505 Some more x86-related updates. Beginning (what I hope will be) a major code cleanup phase. "bootris" (an x86 bootsector) runs :-) 20050506 Adding some more x86 instructions. 20050507 tmpnam => mkstemp. Working on a hack to allow VGA charcells to be shown even when not running with X11. Adding more x86 instructions. 20050508 x86 32-bit SIB addressing fix, and more instructions. 20050509 Adding more x86 instructions. 20050510 Minor documentation updates, and other updates (x86 stuff etc.) 20050511 More x86-related updates. 20050513 Various updates, mostly x86-related. (Trying to fix flag calculation, factoring out the ugly shift/rotate code, and some other things.) 20050514 Adding support for loading some old i386 a.out executables. Finally beginning the cleanup of machine/PROM/bios dependant info. Some minor documentation updates. Trying to clean up ARCBIOS stuff a little. 20050515 Trying to make it possible to actually use more than one disk type per machine (floppy, ide, scsi). Trying to clean up the kbd vs PROM console stuff. (For PC and ARC emulation modes, mostly.) Beginning to add an 8259 interrupt controller, and connecting it to the x86 emulation. 20050516 The first x86 interrupts seem to work (keyboard stuff). Adding a 8253/8254 programmable interval timer skeleton. FreeDOS now reaches a command prompt and can be interacted with. 20050517 After some bugfixes, MS-DOS also (sometimes) reaches a command prompt now. Trying to fix the pckbc to work with MS-DOS' keyb.com, but no success yet. 20050518 Adding a simple 32-bit x86 MMU skeleton. 20050519 Some more work on the x86 stuff. (Beginning the work on paging, and various other fixes). 20050520 More updates. Working on dev_vga (4-bit graphics modes), adding 40 columns support to the PC bios emulation. Trying to add support for resizing windows when switching between graphics modes. 20050521 Many more x86-related updates. 20050522 Correcting the initial stack pointer's sign-extension for ARCBIOS emulation (thanks to Alec Voropay for noticing the error). Continuing on the cleanup (ARCBIOS etc). dev_vga updates. 20050523 More x86 updates: trying to add some support for protected mode interrupts (via gate descriptors) and many other fixes. More ARCBIOS cleanup. Adding a device flag which indicates that reads cause no side-effects. (Useful for the "dump" command in the debugger, and other things.) Adding support for directly starting up x86 ELFs, skipping the bootloader stage. (Most ELFs, however, are not suitable for this.) 20050524 Adding simple 32-bit x86 TSS task switching, but no privilege level support yet. More work on dev_vga. A small "Copper bars" demo works. :-) Adding support for Trap Flag (single-step exceptions), at least in real mode, and various other x86-related fixes. 20050525 Adding a new disk image prefix (gH;S;) which can be used to override the default nr of heads and sectors per track. 20050527 Various bug fixes, more work on the x86 mode (stack change on interrupts between different priv.levels), and some minor documentation updates. 20050528 Various fixes (x86 stuff). 20050529 More x86 fixes. An OpenBSD/i386 bootfloppy reaches userland and can be interacted with (although there are problems with key repetition). NetBSD/i386 triggers a serious CISC-related problem: instruction fetches across page boundaries, where the later part isn't actually part of the instruction. 20050530 Various minor updates. (Documentation updates, etc.) 20050531 Adding some experimental code (experiments/new_test_*) which could be useful for dynamic (but not binary) translation in the future. 20050602 Adding a dummy ARM skeleton. Fixing the pckbc key repetition problem (by adding release scancodes for all keypresses). 20050603 Minor updates for the next release. 20050604 Release testing. Minor updates. ============== RELEASE 0.3.3 ============== 20050604 There'll probably be a 0.3.3.1 release soon, with some very very tiny updates.
++ trunk/HISTORY (local) $Id: HISTORY,v 1.707 2005/04/27 16:37:33 debug Exp $ 20050408 Some minor updates to the wdc. Linux now doesn't complain anymore if a disk is non-present. 20050409 Various minor fixes (a bintrans bug, and some other things). The wdc seems to work with Playstation2 emulation, but there is a _long_ annoying delay when disks are detected. Fixing a really important bintrans bug (when devices and RAM are mixed within 4KB pages), which was triggered with NetBSD/playstation2 kernels. 20050410 Adding a dummy dev_ps2_ether (just so that NetBSD doesn't complain as much during bootup). Symbols starting with '$' are now ignored. Renaming dev_ps2_ohci.c to dev_ohci.c, etc. 20050411 Moving the bintrans-cache-isolation check from cpu_mips.c to cpu_mips_coproc.c. (I thought this would give a speedup, but it's not noticable.) Better playstation2 sbus interrupt code. Skip ahead many ticks if the count register is read manually. (This increases the speed of delay-loops that simply read the count register.) 20050412 Updates to the playstation2 timer/interrupt code. Some other minor updates. 20050413 NetBSD/cobalt runs from a disk image :-) including userland; updating the documentation on how to install NetBSD/cobalt using NetBSD/pmax (!). Some minor bintrans updates (no real speed improvement) and other minor updates (playstation2 now uses the -o options). 20050414 Adding a dummy x86 (and AMD64) mode. 20050415 Adding some (32-bit and 16-bit) x86 instructions. Adding some initial support for non-SCSI, non-IDE floppy images. (The x86 mode can boot from these, more or less.) Moving the devices/ and include/ directories to src/devices/ and src/include/, respectively. 20050416 Continuing on the x86 stuff. (Adding pc_bios.c and some simple support for software interrupts in 16-bit mode.) 20050417 Ripping out most of the x86 instruction decoding stuff, trying to rewrite it in a cleaner way. Disabling some of the least working CPU families in the configure script (sparc, x86, alpha, hppa), so that they are not enabled by default. 20050418 Trying to fix the bug which caused problems when turning on and off bintrans interactively, by flushing the bintrans cache whenever bintrans is manually (re)enabled. 20050419 Adding the 'lswi' ppc instruction. Minor updates to the x86 instruction decoding. 20050420 Renaming x86 register name indices from R_xx to X86_R_xx (this makes building on Tru64 nicer). 20050422 Adding a check for duplicate MIPS TLB entries on tlbwr/tlbwi. 20050427 Adding screenshots to guestoses.html. Some minor fixes and testing for the next release. ============== RELEASE 0.3.2 ==============
