ef0d2142ab Allow cross-page trace linking again. 
The SMC problem was solved in following manner:

 - Every trace linked to another remembers when it was linked (a special timestamp value called traceLinkTimeStamp)
 - When true SMC happens it incremements the traceLinkTimeStamp
 - Jump to the linked trace won't be allowed if traceLinkTimeStamp in the link doesn't match traceLinkTimeStamp

So SMC effectively breaks all trace links and therefore I should not care for them anymore

5%-10% speedup on OS boot benchamarks observed

eda28b95f4 unfortunately this change is rquired to make SMAP and SMEP features to work. 
I observed ~5% emulation slowdown ... thinking about possible mitigations

this fixes TLB issue with SMAP and SMEP features.
these features introduce a new behavior when page can be inaccessible by System (CPL=0).
Current behavior is accessBits was not supporting it but legacy (from Bochs 2.3.6) was.
The wrong behavior can be observed if user access a user page and system access the same page later.
user access is fine and pass SMEP/SMA checks and stores the translation in TLB.
the system access will hit the TLB and nobody could detect that system cannot access that page.

40ba9c8d7b introducing new interface for handling CPU events based on vector of events and not on many not related variables. this is very initial implementation which takes into new interface only few events, more will code soon 2012-09-25 09:35:38 +00:00

c41cbe6d56 Link traces over taken branch optimization which makes handlers chaining even more efficient. 
I observed 5% speedup in all disk images over 2.6pre1.
The change is safe (passed all regressions) and I will be glad to make it into Bochs 2.6!

1b9f286945 - New way of CPUs scheduling in SMP mode brings up to 50% speedup to the 
SMP emulation. New implementation uses dynamic CPU quantum value and takes
   full advantage of the trace cache. Each emulated processor will execute
   the whole trace before switching to the next processor.
 * It is also safe to use large (up to 16 instructions) quantum values for
   the SMP emulation now and improve performance even further.

The same merge also completely fixes SF bug :
  [3312237] stepN command might be not working properly

Handlers chaining speedups are also supported with SMP emulation now.

CHECK_MAX_INSTRUCTIONS is not needed for debugger anymore.
Next step: eliminate it for SMP as well and remove cpu_loop parameter.
