the patch release notes by Zwane:
o Define symbols for constants like
o APIC arbitration
o Processor priority
o Various interrupt delivery fixes
o Focus processor checking
o ExtINT delivery
I need to release this now so that i don't fall too far behind CVS, when
it was part of the bochs-smp patch it could boot 2.4.18 4way. Apologies
for the whitespace changes.
Also remove patch.apic-ppr-zwane patch because it already included in
patch.apic-zwane.
I hope it will help to boot x86-64 or cmp systems required missed APIC
features !
now appear correctly as the Bochs panic message. Now we can get rid of messages
with the line number in the source file.
- updated / fixed description in biosdev.cc
- report WNASPI32.DLL version (some versions are not working properly)
- new variable isWindowsXP added (for future enhancements)
- PVR address in TOC for image files fixed (SF patch #977900 from Ben Lunt)
- converted tabs to spaces in modified sections
- changes to the original svga_cirrus patch:
* PCI memory/mmio PnP support, some emulation and compile fixes
* ported write mode 4 + 5 and some bufixes from cirrus vga in qemu
* new graphics API, hardware cursor support, configure option added (Robin Kay)
* partial support for transparent bitblt and bitblt write mask
data written to the port and where to get the data read from it. Available
modes are 'null' (no input/output), 'file' (output to a file specified as
the 'dev' parameter), 'term' (serial terminal) and 'raw' (use the real serial
port - under construction for win32).
- descriptions for serial and parallel options in bochsrc sample updated
memory handling in memory.cc removed)
- CRTC write protection implemented
- 16-bit read access to some VGA registers added
- memory handler code now conciders the status of the A20 line
* up to 5 slots can be specified with the 'i440fxsupport' config option
* the pci slot number are hardwired to pci device numbers
* the 'devfunc' value is returned the calling device (useful for multi-function
devices)
* the core of the i440FX chipset is hardwired to pci device 1 + 2; usb is still
optional and appears at device 1, function 2
- ne2k: enable pci features if connected to a pci slot
- ne2k: asic data port supports 32-bit access if ne2k-pci is active
- pci2isa: improved error messages for ELCR1 and ELCR2
* PCI initialization and configuration space handling added
* ASIC data port now supports 32-bit r/w if PCI is present
* PCI device will be enabled if the requested base address is >= 0x1000
- ne2k: 8390 command register is now present on all pages
- ne2k: some panics changed to errors, debug messages improved
- PCI host bridge is now a core plugin (if enabled) and initialized earlier
bochs.h already not include iodev.h which reduces compilation dependences for almost all cpu and fpu files, now cpu files will not be recompiled if iodev includes was changed
