After a lot of thinking and browsing in the SVM arch forums I assume now that it shold be fine to enter to paged real mode under SVM guest.
The test case to consider:
(paged) real mode guest -> entering Pmode (not paged) -> disabling the Pmode back
Ths assumption still should be validated with real AMD hardware
Context: AMD's manual about CR0 intercept priority :
"Checks non-memory exceptions (CPL, illegal bit combinations, etc.) before the intercept"
The check for 'paged real mode' suposed to be illegal bit combination ...
- memory: initialize ISA and PCI ROM variables in init_memory()
- sb16: remove items from runtime menu in destructor
- gui debugger: show dialog contents (TODO: fix remaining display issues)
- TODO: fix deadlock in bx_wx_gui::handle_events()
- bx_list_c: added support for removing parameter with other parent list
- USB HC's: remove item from runtime config on simulation exit
- initialize bx_user_quit in bx_begin_simulation()
- only remove optional plugin from list if alrady unloaded
The Windows version looks almost stable, but the GTK version fails in some cases.
That's why the classic wx debugger is still available if BX_DEBUGGER_GUI is set to 0.
- added function close_debug_dialog() to handle the simulation stop case in wx
- disable all the wx debugger related code if BX_DEBUGGER_GUI is set to 1
- added enhanced debugger specific init code similar to the code in sdl.cc
- include debugger related resources on Windows
- TODO: make the GTK / wxGTK case stable and remove the wx debugger
- after parsing command line only update actions if default has changed
- bx_init_hardware(): extra update of log actions in quick start mode not needed
- isempty() returns 1 if string length is 0 or string has special value "none"
- sprint() copies the formatted / converted string into a buffer
- use new methods in some parts of the code (TODO: win32 dialogs)
- check for the special value "none" to avoid failures
- moved 'user_shortcut' option to the keyboard option
- added new bx_param_c option value BOCHSRC_HIDDEN for parameters that should
only be available in the config interface. The new bochsrc option save and
parser function skip parameters with this flag set. This is useful for
parameters that will be set from the parser in a different way.
- save keyboard bochsrc line using the parameter list directly
- parse keyboard bochsrc options (except 'keymap') using the parameter list
- user shortcut: old-style syntax has already been removed
- increased minimum value for the keyboard's 'serial_delay'
