The Bochs anyway even doesn't compile if cosimulation configured enabled.
But in the same time the cosimulation code only disturbs to the future development of Bochs debugger, for example adding x86-64 functionality ...
For those of you who still may want to see the cosimulation code inside I put it in patch and upload it Bochs CVS patches folder. Read comments for the patch ! ----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Separate interrupt function to 3 different functions (real_mode, long_mode, pmode)
2. Added PANIC messages for not implemented FAR CALL, FAR JUMP and FAR RET in long mode
of the decoder to test it in standalone mode. A few lines in cpu.h
were re-arranged to make this easy, but no real lines of code were
changed or generated.
Changed a few PANICs to INFOs after testing corresponding cases.
Manual says that GP(0) shouldd be generated in this case ALWAYS
Fixed instructions PANIC messages to ERROR for this case
And ... do not leave PANIC messages w/o taking care that user could push CONTINUE button and program should know to continue after the PANIC code line. Mainly in rerurn instructions were several problems ...
bochs.h already not include iodev.h which reduces compilation dependences for almost all cpu and fpu files, now cpu files will not be recompiled if iodev includes was changed
- v8086 priveleged instruction processing bug (was also reported by
LightCone Aug 7 2003)
- exception process bug (was reported by Diego Henriquez Sat Nov 15
01:16:51 CET 2003)
- segment validation with IRET instruction
- CS segment not present exception processing with IRET
1) fixed some errors running 32 bit compat mode. IMPORTANT FIX.
2) added IST processing (uses IST1-IST7 in 64 bit TSS)
3) cosmetic - debugging stuff to console.
* renamed CPU_ID to BX_CPU_ID.
with this new name there is no possibility for name contentions and BX_CPU_ID
definition could be moved out to NEED_CPU_REG_SHORTCUTS block
* returned back `unsigned BX_CPU::which_cpu(void)` function
* added BX_CPU_ID parameter for
BX_INSTR_PHY_READ(a20addr, len);
BX_INSTR_PHY_WRITE(a20addr, len);
now it will be
BX_INSTR_PHY_READ(cpu_id, a20addr, len);
BX_INSTR_PHY_WRITE(cpu_id, a20addr, len);
"bx_bool" which is always defined as Bit32u on all platforms. In Carbon
specific code, Boolean is still used because the Carbon header files
define it to unsigned char.
- this fixes bug [ 623152 ] MacOSX: Triple Exception Booting win95.
The bug was that some code in Bochs depends on Boolean to be a
32 bit value. (This should be fixed, but I don't know all the places
where it needs to be fixed yet.) Because Carbon defined Boolean as
an unsigned char, Bochs just followed along and used the unsigned char
definition to avoid compile problems. This exposed the dependency
on 32 bit Boolean on MacOS X only and led to major simulation problems,
that could only be reproduced and debugged on that platform.
- On the mailing list we debated whether to make all Booleans into "bool" or
our own type. I chose bx_bool for several reasons.
1. Unlike C++'s bool, we can guarantee that bx_bool is the same size on all
platforms, which makes it much less likely to have more platform-specific
simulation differences in the future. (I spent hours on a borrowed
MacOSX machine chasing bug 618388 before discovering that different sized
Booleans were the problem, and I don't want to repeat that.)
2. We still have at least one dependency on 32 bit Booleans which must be
fixed some time, but I don't want to risk introducing new bugs into the
simulation just before the 2.0 release.

This is an interim update to allow others to test.
We have userland code running!!! (up to a point)
Able to start executing "sash" as /sbin/init in userland from linux 64 bit
kernel until it crashes trying to access a null pointer. No kernel panics
though, just a segfault loop.
hack with longjmp() back to cpu.cc main decode loop, and added a
check in there to return control when bx_guard.special_unwind_stack
is set (compiling with debugger enabled only).
If in the debugger you try to execute further instructions
(which you shouldn't), other fields need to be reset I would
think, such as EXT and errorno, and have to make sure ESP/EIP
are corrected properly. Basically, this hack is only good
for examining the current situation of a nasty fault.
Some things changed in the ctrl_xfer*.cc, fetchdecode*.cc,
and cpu.cc since the original patches, so I did some patch
integration by hand. Check the placement of the
macros BX_INSTR_FETCH_DECODE_COMPLETED() and BX_INSTR_OPCODE()
in cpu.cc to make sure I go them right. Also, I changed the
parameters to BX_INSTR_OPCODE() to update them to the new code.
I put some comments before each of these to help determine if
the placement is right.
These macros are only compiled in if you are gathering instrumentation
data from bochs, so they shouldn't effect others.
Since the SYSCALL replaces the LOADALL instruction, it is incompatible with
earlier CPU types.
At moment, the SYSCALL is only enabled by x86-64 emulation, but the code
can be incorporated in IA32 only emulations.
Instructions added:
0F 05 SYSCALL (replaces LOADALL)
0F 07 SYSRET (new)
TODO: restructure #if ... so that it can be used by non x86-64 emulations.
cpu64 directories. Instead of using the macros introduced in cpu.h rev 1.37
such as GetEFlagsDFLogical and SetEFlagsDF and ClearEFlagsDF, I made inline
methods on the BX_CPU_C object that access the eflags fields. The problem
with the macros is that they cannot be used outside the BX_CPU_C object. The
macros have now been removed, and all references to eflags now use these new
accessors.
- I debated whether to put the accessors as members of the BX_CPU_C object
or members of the bx_flags_reg_t struct. I chose to make them members
of BX_CPU_C for two reasons: 1. the lazy flags are implemented as
members of BX_CPU_C, and 2. the eflags are referenced in many many places
and it is more compact without having to put eflags in front of each. (The
real problem with compactness is having to write BX_CPU_THIS_PTR in front of
everything, but that's another story.)
- Kevin pointed out a major bug in my set accessor code. What a difference a
little tilde can make! That is fixed now.
- modified: load32bitOShack.cc debug/dbg_main.cc
and in both cpu and cpu64 directories:
cpu.cc cpu.h ctrl_xfer_pro.cc debugstuff.cc exception.cc flag_ctrl.cc
flag_ctrl_pro.cc init.cc io.cc io_pro.cc proc_ctrl.cc soft_int.cc
string.cc vm8086.cc
All the EFLAGS bits used to be cached in separate fields. I left
a few of them in separate fields for now - might remove them
at some point also. When the arithmetic fields are known
(ie they're not in lazy mode), they are all cached in a
32-bit EFLAGS image, just like the x86 EFLAGS register expects.
All other eflags are store in the 32-bit register also, with
a few also mirrored in separate fields for now.
The reason I did this, was so that on x86 hosts, asm() statements
can be #ifdef'd in to do the calculation and get the native
eflags results very cheaply. Just to test that it works, I
coded ADD_EdId() and ADD_EwIw() with some conditionally compiled
asm()s for accelerated eflags processing and it works.

tries to fix it. The shortcuts to register names such as AX and DL are
#defines in cpu/cpu.h, and they are defined in terms of BX_CPU_THIS_PTR.
When BX_USE_CPU_SMF=1, this works fine. (This is what bochs used for
a long time, and nobody used the SMF=0 mode at all.) To make SMP bochs
work, I had to get SMF=0 mode working for the CPU so that there could
be an array of cpus.
When SMF=0 for the CPU, BX_CPU_THIS_PTR is defined to be "this->" which
only works within methods of BX_CPU_C. Code outside of BX_CPU_C must
reference BX_CPU(num) instead.
- to try to enforce the correct use of AL/AX/DL/etc. shortcuts, they are
now only #defined when "NEED_CPU_REG_SHORTCUTS" is #defined. This is
only done in the cpu/*.cc code.
in BRANCH-smp-bochs revisions.
- The general task was to make multiple CPU's which communicate
through their APICs. So instead of BX_CPU and BX_MEM, we now have
BX_CPU(x) and BX_MEM(y). For an SMP simulation you have several
processors in a shared memory space, so there might be processors
BX_CPU(0..3) but only one memory space BX_MEM(0). For cosimulation,
you could have BX_CPU(0) with BX_MEM(0), then BX_CPU(1) with
BX_MEM(1). WARNING: Cosimulation is almost certainly broken by the
SMP changes.
- to simulate multiple CPUs, you have to give each CPU time to execute
in turn. This is currently implemented using debugger guards. The
cpu loop steps one CPU for a few instructions, then steps the
next CPU for a few instructions, etc.
- there is some limited support in the debugger for two CPUs, for
example printing information from each CPU when single stepping.

To see the commit logs for this use either cvsweb or
cvs update -r BRANCH-io-cleanup and then 'cvs log' the various files.
In general this provides a generic interface for logging.
logfunctions:: is a class that is inherited by some classes, and also
. allocated as a standalone global called 'genlog'. All logging uses
. one of the ::info(), ::error(), ::ldebug(), ::panic() methods of this
. class through 'BX_INFO(), BX_ERROR(), BX_DEBUG(), BX_PANIC()' macros
. respectively.
.
. An example usage:
. BX_INFO(("Hello, World!\n"));
iofunctions:: is a class that is allocated once by default, and assigned
as the iofunction of each logfunctions instance. It is this class that
maintains the file descriptor and other output related code, at this
point using vfprintf(). At some future point, someone may choose to
write a gui 'console' for bochs to which messages would be redirected
simply by assigning a different iofunction class to the various logfunctions
objects.
More cleanup is coming, but this works for now. If you want to see alot
of debugging output, in main.cc, change onoff[LOGLEV_DEBUG]=0 to =1.
