++ 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 1.1298 2006/07/22 11:27:46 debug Exp $ 20060626 Continuing on SPARC emulation (beginning on the 'save' instruction, register windows, etc). 20060629 Planning statistics gathering (new -s command line option), and renaming speed_tricks to allow_instruction_combinations. 20060630 Some minor manual page updates. Various cleanups. Implementing the -s command line option. 20060701 FINALLY found the bug which prevented Linux and Ultrix from running without the ugly hack in the R2000/R3000 cache isol code; it was the phystranslation hint array which was buggy. Removing the phystranslation hint code completely, for now. 20060702 Minor dyntrans cleanups; invalidation of physpages now only invalidate those parts of a page that have actually been translated. (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 ==============
++ 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 1.982 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.
++ 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 ==============
