++ 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 1.1325 2006/08/15 15:38:37 debug Exp $ 20060723 More Transputer instructions (pfix, nfix, opr, mint, ldl, ldlp, eqc, rev, ajw, stl, stlf, sthf, sub, ldnl, ldnlp, ldpi, move, wcnt, add, bcnt). Adding more SPARC instructions (andcc, addcc, bl, rdpr). Progress on the igsfb framebuffer used by NetBSD/netwinder. Enabling 8-bit fills in dev_fb. NetBSD/netwinder 3.0.1 can now run from a disk image :-) 20060724 Cleanup/performance fix for 64-bit virtual translation table updates (by removing the "timestamp" stuff). A full NetBSD/pmax 3.0.1 install for R4400 has dropped from 667 seconds to 584 :) Fixing the igsfb "almost vga" color (it is 24-bit, not 18-bit). Adding some MIPS instruction combinations (3*lw, and 3*addu). The 8048 keyboard now turns off interrupt enable between the KBR_ACK and the KBR_RSTDONE, to work better with Linux 2.6. Not causing PPC DEC interrupts if PPC_NO_DEC is set for a specific CPU; NetBSD/bebox gets slightly further than before. Adding some more SPARC instructions: branches, udiv. 20060725 Refreshing dev_pckbc.c a little. Cleanups for the SH emulation mode, and adding the first "compact" (16-bit) instructions: various simple movs, nop, shll, stc, or, ldc. 20060726 Adding dummy "pcn" (AMD PCnet NIC) PCI glue. 20060727 Various cleanups; removing stuff from cpu.h, such as running_translated (not really meaningful anymore), and page flags (breaking into the debugger clears all translations anyway). Minor MIPS instruction combination updates. 20060807 Expanding the 3*sw and 3*lw MIPS instruction combinations to work with 2* and 4* too, resulting in a minor performance gain. Implementing a usleep hack for the RM52xx/MIPS32/MIPS64 "wait" instruction (when emulating 1 cpu). 20060808 Experimenting with some more MIPS instruction combinations. Implementing support for showing a (hardcoded 12x22) text cursor in igsfb. 20060809 Simplifying the NetBSD/evbmips (Malta) install instructions somewhat (by using a NetBSD/pmax ramdisk install kernel). 20060812 Experimenting more with the MIPS 'wait' instruction. PCI configuration register writes can now be handled, which allow PCI IDE controllers to work with NetBSD/Malta 3.0.1 and NetBSD/cobalt 3.0.1. (Previously only NetBSD 2.1 worked.) 20060813 Updating dev_gt.c based on numbers from Alec Voropay, to enable Linux 2.6 to use PCI on Malta. Continuing on Algor interrupt stuff. 20060814 Adding support for routing ISA interrupts to two different interrupts, making it possible to run NetBSD/algor :-) 20060814-15 Testing for the release. ============== RELEASE 0.4.2 ==============
++ 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 1.1264 2006/06/25 11:08:04 debug Exp $ 20060624 Replacing the error-prone machine type initialization stuff with something more reasonable. Finally removing the old "cpu_run" kludge; moving around stuff in machine.c and emul.c to better suit the dyntrans system. Various minor dyntrans cleanups (renaming translate_address to translate_v2p, and experimenting with template physpages). 20060625 Removing the speed hack which separated the vph entries into two halves (code vs data); things seem a lot more stable now. Minor performance hack: R2000/R3000 cache isolation now only clears address translations when going into isolation, not when going out of it. Fixing the MIPS interrupt problems by letting mtc0 immediately cause interrupts. ============== RELEASE 0.4.0.1 ==============
++ trunk/HISTORY (local) $Id: HISTORY,v 1.1256 2006/06/23 20:43:44 debug Exp $ 20060219 Various minor updates. Removing the old MIPS16 skeleton code, because it will need to be rewritten for dyntrans anyway. 20060220-22 Removing the non-working dyntrans backend support. Continuing on the 64-bit dyntrans virtual memory generalization. 20060223 More work on the 64-bit vm generalization. 20060225 Beginning on MIPS dyntrans load/store instructions. Minor PPC updates (64-bit load/store, etc). Fixes for the variable-instruction-length framework, some minor AVR updates (a simple Hello World program works!). Beginning on a skeleton for automatically generating documen- tation (for devices etc.). 20060226 PPC updates (adding some more 64-bit instructions, etc). AVR updates (more instructions). FINALLY found and fixed the zs bug, making NetBSD/macppc accept the serial console. 20060301 Adding more AVR instructions. 20060304 Continuing on AVR-related stuff. Beginning on a framework for cycle-accurate device emulation. Adding an experimental "PAL TV" device (just a dummy so far). 20060305 Adding more AVR instructions. Adding a dummy epcom serial controller (for TS7200 emulation). 20060310 Removing the emul() command from configuration files, so only net() and machine() are supported. Minor progress on the MIPS dyntrans rewrite. 20060311 Continuing on the MIPS dyntrans rewrite (adding more instructions, etc). 20060315 Adding more instructions (sllv, srav, srlv, bgtz[l], blez[l], beql, bnel, slti[u], various loads and stores). 20060316 Removing the ALWAYS_SIGNEXTEND_32 option, since it was rarely used. Adding more MIPS dyntrans instructions, and fixing bugs. 20060318 Implementing fast loads/stores for MIPS dyntrans (big/little endian, 32-bit and 64-bit modes). 20060320 Making MIPS dyntrans the default configure option; use "--enable-oldmips" to use the old bintrans system. Adding MIPS dyntrans dmult[u]; minor updates. 20060322 Continuing... adding some more instructions. Adding a simple skeleton for demangling C++ "_ZN" symbols. 20060323 Moving src/debugger.c into a new directory (src/debugger/). 20060324 Fixing the hack used to load PPC ELFs (useful for relocated Linux/ppc kernels), and adding a dummy G3 machine mode. 20060325-26 Beginning to experiment with GDB remote serial protocol connections; adding a -G command line option for selecting which TCP port to listen to. 20060330 Beginning a major cleanup to replace things like "0x%016llx" with more correct "0x%016"PRIx64, etc. Continuing on the GDB remote serial protocol support. 20060331 More cleanup, and some minor GDB remote progress. 20060402 Adding a hack to the configure script, to allow compilation on systems that lack PRIx64 etc. 20060406 Removing the temporary FreeBSD/arm hack in dev_ns16550.c and replacing it with a better fix from Olivier Houchard. 20060407 A remote debugger (gdb or ddd) can now start and stop the emulator using the GDB remote serial protocol, and registers and memory can be read. MIPS only for now. 20060408 More GDB progress: single-stepping also works, and also adding support for ARM, PowerPC, and Alpha targets. Continuing on the delay-slot-across-page-boundary issue. 20060412 Minor update: beginning to add support for the SPARC target to the remote GDB functionality. 20060414 Various MIPS updates: adding more instructions for dyntrans (eret, add), and making some exceptions work. Fixing a bug in dmult[u]. Implementing the first SPARC instructions (sethi, or). 20060415 Adding "magic trap" instructions so that PROM calls can be software emulated in MIPS dyntrans. Adding more MIPS dyntrans instructions (ddiv, dadd) and fixing another bug in dmult. 20060416 More MIPS dyntrans progress: adding [d]addi, movn, movz, dsllv, rfi, an ugly hack for supporting R2000/R3000 style faked caches, preliminary interrupt support, and various other updates and bugfixes. 20060417 Adding more SPARC instructions (add, sub, sll[x], sra[x], srl[x]), and useful SPARC header definitions. Adding the first (trivial) x86/AMD64 dyntrans instructions (nop, cli/sti, stc/clc, std/cld, simple mov, inc ax). Various other x86 updates related to variable instruction length stuff. Adding unaligned loads/stores to the MIPS dyntrans mode (but still using the pre-dyntrans (slow) imlementation). 20060419 Fixing a MIPS dyntrans exception-in-delay-slot bug. Removing the old "show opcode statistics" functionality, since it wasn't really useful and isn't implemented for dyntrans. Single-stepping (or running with instruction trace) now looks ok with dyntrans with delay-slot architectures. 20060420 Minor hacks (removing the -B command line option when compiled for non-bintrans, and some other very minor updates). Adding (slow) MIPS dyntrans load-linked/store-conditional. 20060422 Applying fixes for bugs discovered by Nils Weller's nwcc (static DEC memmap => now per machine, and adding an extern keyword in cpu_arm_instr.c). Finally found one of the MIPS dyntrans bugs that I've been looking for (copy/paste spelling error BIG vs LITTLE endian in cpu_mips_instr_loadstore.c for 16-bit fast stores). FINALLY found the major MIPS dyntrans bug: slti vs sltiu signed/unsigned code in cpu_mips_instr.c. :-) Adding more MIPS dyntrans instructions (lwc1, swc1, bgezal[l], ctc1, tlt[u], tge[u], tne, beginning on rdhwr). NetBSD/hpcmips can now reach userland when using dyntrans :-) Adding some more x86 dyntrans instructions. Finally removed the old Alpha-specific virtual memory code, and replaced it with the generic 64-bit version. Beginning to add disassembly support for SPECIAL3 MIPS opcodes. 20060423 Continuing on the delay-slot-across-page-boundary issue; adding an end_of_page2 ic slot (like I had planned before, but had removed for some reason). Adding a quick-and-dirty fallback to legacy coprocessor 1 code (i.e. skipping dyntrans implementation for now). NetBSD/hpcmips and NetBSD/pmax (when running on an emulated R4400) can now be installed and run. :-) (Many bugs left to fix, though.) Adding more MIPS dyntrans instructions: madd[u], msub[u]. Cleaning up the SPECIAL2 vs R5900/TX79/C790 "MMI" opcode maps somewhat (disassembly and dyntrans instruction decoding). 20060424 Adding an isa_revision field to mips_cpu_types.h, and making sure that SPECIAL3 opcodes cause Reserved Instruction exceptions on MIPS32/64 revisions lower than 2. Adding the SPARC 'ba', 'call', 'jmpl/retl', 'and', and 'xor' instructions. 20060425 Removing the -m command line option ("run at most x instructions") and -T ("single_step_on_bad_addr"), because they never worked correctly with dyntrans anyway. Freshening up the man page. 20060428 Adding more MIPS dyntrans instructions: bltzal[l], idle. Enabling MIPS dyntrans compare interrupts. 20060429 FINALLY found the weird dyntrans bug, causing NetBSD etc. to behave strangely: some floating point code (conditional coprocessor branches) could not be reused from the old non-dyntrans code. The "quick-and-dirty fallback" only appeared to work. Fixing by implementing bc1* for MIPS dyntrans. More MIPS instructions: [d]sub, sdc1, ldc1, dmtc1, dmfc1, cfc0. Freshening up MIPS floating point disassembly appearance. 20060430 Continuing on C790/R5900/TX79 disassembly; implementing 128-bit "por" and "pextlw". 20060504 Disabling -u (userland emulation) unless compiled as unstable development version. Beginning on freshening up the testmachine include files, to make it easier to reuse those files (placing them in src/include/testmachine/), and beginning on a set of "demos" or "tutorials" for the testmachine functionality. Minor updates to the MIPS GDB remote protocol stub. Refreshing doc/experiments.html and gdb_remote.html. Enabling Alpha emulation in the stable release configuration, even though no guest OSes for Alpha can run yet. 20060505 Adding a generic 'settings' object, which will contain references to settable variables (which will later be possible to access using the debugger). 20060506 Updating dev_disk and corresponding demo/documentation (and switching from SCSI to IDE disk types, so it actually works with current test machines :-). 20060510 Adding a -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE hack for 64-bit Linux hosts, so that fseeko() doesn't give a warning. Updating the section about how dyntrans works (the "runnable IR") in doc/intro.html. Instruction updates (some x64=1 checks, some more R5900 dyntrans stuff: better mul/mult separation from MIPS32/64, adding ei and di). Updating MIPS cpuregs.h to a newer one (from NetBSD). Adding more MIPS dyntrans instructions: deret, ehb. 20060514 Adding disassembly and beginning implementation of SPARC wr and wrpr instructions. 20060515 Adding a SUN SPARC machine mode, with dummy SS20 and Ultra1 machines. Adding the 32-bit "rd psr" instruction. 20060517 Disassembly support for the general SPARC rd instruction. Partial implementation of the cmp (subcc) instruction. Some other minor updates (making sure that R5900 processors start up with the EIE bit enabled, otherwise Linux/playstation2 receives no interrupts). 20060519 Minor MIPS updates/cleanups. 20060521 Moving the MeshCube machine into evbmips; this seems to work reasonably well with a snapshot of a NetBSD MeshCube kernel. Cleanup/fix of MIPS config0 register initialization. 20060529 Minor MIPS fixes, including a sign-extension fix to the unaligned load/store code, which makes NetBSD/pmax on R3000 work better with dyntrans. (Ultrix and Linux/DECstation still don't work, though.) 20060530 Minor updates to the Alpha machine mode: adding an AlphaBook mode, an LCA bus (forwarding accesses to an ISA bus), etc. 20060531 Applying a bugfix for the MIPS dyntrans sc[d] instruction from Ondrej Palkovsky. (Many thanks.) 20060601 Minifix to allow ARM immediate msr instruction to not give an error for some valid values. More Alpha updates. 20060602 Some minor Alpha updates. 20060603 Adding the Alpha cmpbge instruction. NetBSD/alpha prints its first boot messages :-) on an emulated Alphabook 1. 20060612 Minor updates; adding a dev_ether.h include file for the testmachine ether device. Continuing the hunt for the dyntrans bug which makes Linux and Ultrix on DECstation behave strangely... FINALLY found it! It seems to be related to invalidation of the translation cache, on tlbw{r,i}. There also seems to be some remaining interrupt-related problems. 20060614 Correcting the implementation of ldc1/sdc1 for MIPS dyntrans (so that it uses 16 32-bit registers if the FR bit in the status register is not set). 20060616 REMOVING BINTRANS COMPLETELY! Removing the old MIPS interpretation mode. Removing the MFHILO_DELAY and instruction delay stuff, because they wouldn't work with dyntrans anyway. 20060617 Some documentation updates (adding "NetBSD-archive" to some URLs, and new Debian/DECstation installation screenshots). Removing the "tracenull" and "enable-caches" configure options. Improving MIPS dyntrans performance somewhat (only invalidate translations if necessary, on writes to the entryhi register, instead of doing it for all cop0 writes). 20060618 More cleanup after the removal of the old MIPS emulation. Trying to fix the MIPS dyntrans performance bugs/bottlenecks; only semi-successful so far (for R3000). 20060620 Minor update to allow clean compilation again on Tru64/Alpha. 20060622 MIPS cleanup and fixes (removing the pc_last stuff, which doesn't make sense with dyntrans anyway, and fixing a cross- page-delay-slot-with-exception case in end_of_page). Removing the old max_random_cycles_per_chunk stuff, and the concept of cycles vs instructions for MIPS emulation. FINALLY found and fixed the bug which caused NetBSD/pmax clocks to behave strangely (it was a load to the zero register, which was treated as a NOP; now it is treated as a load to a dummy scratch register). 20060623 Increasing the dyntrans chunk size back to N_SAFE_DYNTRANS_LIMIT, instead of N_SAFE_DYNTRANS_LIMIT/2. Preparing for a quick release, even though there are known bugs, and performance for non-R3000 MIPS emulation is very poor. :-/ Reverting to half the dyntrans chunk size again, because NetBSD/cats seemed less stable with full size chunks. :( NetBSD/sgimips 3.0 can now run :-) (With release 0.3.8, only NetBSD/sgimips 2.1 worked, not 3.0.) ============== RELEASE 0.4.0 ==============
++ 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 ==============
