I am merging the code in order to start making shortcuts between VMX emulation and SVM emulation.
Of course SVM emulation is incomplete, completely untested and not expected to work.
But someone could already take a look one the code and give some suggestions.
Also looking for anybody with existing SVM kernels - as simple as possible - for testing.
Status:
- exceptions intercept is not implemented yet
- IO intercept is not implemented yet
- MSR intercept is not implemented yet
- virtual interrupts are not implemented yet
- CPUID is not implemented yet
No advanced SVM featurez planned - I am implementing the very basic 'Pacifica' document from 2005 using QEMU code as reference.
XOP: few instructions are still missing, coming soon
BX_PANIC(("VPERMILPS_VpsHpsWpsVIbR: not implemented yet"));
BX_PANIC(("VPERMILPD_VpdHpdWpdVIbR: not implemented yet"));
BX_PANIC(("VPMADCSSWD_VdqHdqWdqVIbR: not implemented yet"));
BX_PANIC(("VPMADCSWD_VdqHdqWdqVIbR: not implemented yet"));
BX_PANIC(("VFRCZPS_VpsWpsR: not implemented yet"));
BX_PANIC(("VFRCZPD_VpdWpdR: not implemented yet"));
BX_PANIC(("VFRCZSS_VssWssR: not implemented yet"));
BX_PANIC(("VFRCZSD_VsdWsdR: not implemented yet"));
So now the same single option will choose not only the CPUID flags but also VMX capabilities matching real HW machine.
Removed cpuid of core2_extreme_x9770 from the cpudb. I don't remember its VMX capabilities anyway.
There is another Penryn model in the cpudb - core2_penryn_t9600.
32-bit CPU using Bochs binary compiled with x86-64 support.
The commit also fixes some init.cc issues with initialization of SYSCALL/SYSRET MSR in AMD hosts and also includes code reorg.
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.
