This is the start of the Experimental USB Debugger (currently for the
Windows platform only).
Currently only supports the UHCI and xHCI controllers. The remaining
function of these two controllers and the two remaining controllers are
in the works and will be added to when time allows.
The User.dbk has been updated with (temporary) html files at
https://www.fysnet.net/bochs/user/index.html showing the process to
invoke and use the USB debugger (Section 5.8).
In its completion, this debugger will allow you to view and modify most
aspects of the specified USB controller. For example, currently you can
view and modify a TRB listed in the xHCI's Command or Event Ring. Other
aspects will be added.
I do not use and am not fluent in the use of `configure`,
`configure.ac`, and associated configuration files. I also don't use the
`gui/Makefile.in` file.
Someone that is more fluent in the way these files work, please add the
necessary items to successfully compile this PR.

This parameter defines the file name for the flash BIOS config space loaded
startup if existing and saved on exit if modified. The Bochs BIOS doesn't
use this feature yet. Updated 'romimage' option documentation.
This PR adds the ability to choose which companion controller the EHCI
uses.
`#usb_ehci: enabled=1, companion=uhci`
`#usb_ehci: enabled=1, companion=ohci`
UHCI is enabled by default:
`#usb_ehci: enabled=1`
This breaks up `usb_ohci.cc/h` into `usb_ohci.cc/h` and `ohci_core.cc/h`
to be like the existing `usb_uhci.cc/h` and `uhci_core.cc/h`.
This adds the ability to define a Port Routing string in the
`HcspPortRoute` register, and is optional via the `EHCI_PORT_ROUTE`
define.
Currently `EHCI_N_CC` and `EHCI_N_PCC` must remain as currently set (3
and 2 respectively), however with a little more work, I think these can
be modified and have up to 7 companion controllers with more ports per
companion, as long as the combined total is <= 15 total ports.
Please verify the `Makefile.in` changes. I do not use GCC and can not
verify it is correct.
refactoring of port_e9_hack configuration options
do not allow port e9 access for all rings if port_e9_hack is not enabled

This PR is for "I/O Interface to Bochs Debugger" from ring3 (port range:
**0x8A00 - 0x8A01**)
PR #64 was for E9 HACK (port **0xE9**)
By enabling the iodebug's 'all_rings' option, you can utilize the port
I/O Interface to Bochs Debugger from ring3. This PR allows the code
running inside Bochs (ring3) to monitor memory ranges, trace individual
instructions, and observe register values during execution.

IMO very useful for:
- user-mode sandbox (ex Cuckoo)
- malware analysis
- API/SYSCALL hook/monitor from ring3
- automation + instrumentation from user mode code
...
A complement for PR #64
**This PR is 100% backward compatibility**
btw, @stlintel I'm not certain about:
- if misc is the ideal location for this.. should I create a new
iodebug-option for this?
- should I remove the #if in 'new bx_param_bool_c'?
- the new .bochsrc entry makes sense for you?
By enabling the 'all_rings' option, you can utilize the port e9 hack
from ring3
IMO very useful for:
- user-mode sandbox (ex Cuckoo)
- malware analysis
- API/SYSCALL logger with a simple hook from ring3
- automation + instrumentation from user mode code
- ...
So yes, from this PR a user-mode-sandbox can display on the console of
the system running Bochs anything that is written to 0xE9 port
**This PR is 100% backward compatibility**
btw, @stlintel I'm not certain if **bochs/config.cc** is the ideal
location to define **bool port_e9_hack_all_rings** (unmapped io/dev is
better?)
- Moved main option from the portX parameter to the optionsX parameter. Added
new option "path" for the disk, cdrom and floppy devices, "ports" for the
USB hub and "file" for the USB printer. The legacy syntax is still supported.
- Register USB device state after init() to ensure all options that may have
effect on the save/restore list are applied.
- Report available devices on top of log file similar to hdimage, network and
sound modules.
- Changed USB device type variable typein host controllers to int.
- Prepared improved usbdev_ctl init / exit implementation.
- TODO: Create list of USB devices dynamicly from available plugins.
loaded in bochsrc with "plugin_ctrl" or with their own name, the user plugin
option and the special cases for PLUGTYPE_USER are no longer needed. Updated
example patch to make it work with the latest SVN code.
implementing disk image support with an external C++ class. With the new code
it's now easier to implement support for additional disk images formats, so we
don't need the old stub anymore.
TODO #1; Add some missing HID key codes.
TODO #2: Add key event queue to avoid losing events.
TODO #3: Unify keyboard and keypad code.
TODO #4: Support multiple non-modifier keys pressed at the same time.
TODO #5: Share keyboard indicators with the legacy PS/2 keyboard.
The latest release is from 2001 and it will not work on modern Linux systems.
Parts of the SVGALib code have been moved to the Linux kernel and the X11 and
SDL libraries are using it as a video driver.
- Now cursor can appear in two different modes (if supported by terminal)
- Simplified text cursor handling.
- Show a status bar if terminal has enough lines for it. Added "show IPS" output
there unless display library option "hideIPS" is used.
- Reset FTP session state in case of login failure.
- Improved FTP server status output.
- Added special error messages for 2 unimplemented commands.
- Updated vnet / socket / slirp networking module infos in source and docs.
- Enable packet logging in text format if file name is specified with the
"script" parameter.
- Don't start RX timer if vnet server returns 0.
- Added TCP header structure for future extensions.
