++ 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.
