Starting convergence to new lazy flags scheme by Darek Mihocka (www.emulators.com). The new flags code is still being validated and perfected but I try to minimize the diff between 2 versionS
Averything that required cpu.h include now has it explicitly and there are a lot of files not dependant by CPU at all which will compile a lot faster now ...
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 ...
also extended by the REX.B field on Hammer) is passed to instructions.
I rearranged the bxInstruction_c to free up a field to be used
to pass this info when mod-rm bytes are not used. This got rid
of the ugly ((i->b1 & 7) + i->rex_b) code.
Probably shaved just a very little run time off Hammer emulation,
and even less on x86-32. The resultant is a little cleaner anyways.
in cpu.cc out of the main loop, and into the asynchronous
events handling. I went through all the code paths, and
there doesn't seem to be any reason for that code to be
in the hot loop.
Added another accessor for getting instruction data, called
modC0(). A lot of instructions test whether the mod field
of mod-nnn-rm is 0xc0 or not, ie., it's a register operation
and not memory. So I flag this in fetchdecode{,64}.cc.
This added on the order of 1% performance improvement for
a Win95 boot.
Macroized a few leftover calls to Write_RMV_virtual_xyz()
that didn't get modified in the x86-64 merge. Really, they
just call the real function for now, but I want to have them
available to do direct writes with the guest2host TLB pointers.
to bitfields. bxInstruction_c is now 24 bytes, including 4 for
the memory addr resolution function pointer, and 4 for the
execution function pointer (16 + 4 + 4).
Coded more accessors, to abstract access from most code.
with accessors. Had to touch a number of files to update the
access using the new accessors.
Moved rm_addr to the CPU structure, to slim down bxInstruction_c
and to prevent future instruction caching from getting sprayed
with writes to individual rm_addr fields. There only needs to
be one. Though need to deal with instructions which have
static non-modrm addresses, but which are using rm_addr since
that will change.
bxInstruction_c is down to about 40 bytes now. Trying to
get down to 24 bytes.
use accessors. This lets me work on compressing the
size of fetch-decode structure (now called bxInstruction_c).
I've reduced it down to about 76 bytes. We should be able
to do much better soon. I needed the abstraction of the
accessors, so I have a lot of freedom to re-arrange things
without making massive future changes.
Lost a few percent of performance in these mods, but my
main focus was to get the abstraction.
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.
