"bx_bool" which is always defined as Bit32u on all platforms. In Carbon
specific code, Boolean is still used because the Carbon header files
define it to unsigned char.
- this fixes bug [ 623152 ] MacOSX: Triple Exception Booting win95.
The bug was that some code in Bochs depends on Boolean to be a
32 bit value. (This should be fixed, but I don't know all the places
where it needs to be fixed yet.) Because Carbon defined Boolean as
an unsigned char, Bochs just followed along and used the unsigned char
definition to avoid compile problems. This exposed the dependency
on 32 bit Boolean on MacOS X only and led to major simulation problems,
that could only be reproduced and debugged on that platform.
- On the mailing list we debated whether to make all Booleans into "bool" or
our own type. I chose bx_bool for several reasons.
1. Unlike C++'s bool, we can guarantee that bx_bool is the same size on all
platforms, which makes it much less likely to have more platform-specific
simulation differences in the future. (I spent hours on a borrowed
MacOSX machine chasing bug 618388 before discovering that different sized
Booleans were the problem, and I don't want to repeat that.)
2. We still have at least one dependency on 32 bit Booleans which must be
fixed some time, but I don't want to risk introducing new bugs into the
simulation just before the 2.0 release.

bx_shadow_num_c able to handle pointers to 64 bit values. This
allows x86-64 and wxWindows to coexist.
- I had a number of duplicate constructors for bx_shadow_num_c,
with an without the description arg. I eliminated the ones
that had no description, and also removed the min/max arg from
all. I still need a bunch of constructors though, for
Bit64u*, Bit64s*, Bit32u*, Bit32s*, Bit16u*, Bit16s*, Bit8u*, Bit8s*.
Having all these constructors allows us to write
new bx_shadow_num (bxid, name, description, &value)
for basically any integer variable. They are all handled by the same class.
- these changes led to minor touchups in cpu/init.cc and iodev/keyboard.cc

SSE/SSE2 for Stanislav. Also, some method prototypes and
skeletal functions in access.cc for read/write double quadword
features.
Also cleaned up one warning in protect_ctrl.cc for non-64 bit compiles.
There was an unused variable, only used for 64-bit.
This is an interim update to allow others to test.
We have userland code running!!! (up to a point)
Able to start executing "sash" as /sbin/init in userland from linux 64 bit
kernel until it crashes trying to access a null pointer. No kernel panics
though, just a segfault loop.
into inline functions with asm() statements in cpu.h. This cleans
up the *.cc code (which now doesn't have any asm()s in it), and
centralizes the asm() code so constraints can be modified in one
place. This also makes it easier to cover more instructions
with asm()s for more efficient eflags handling.
hack with longjmp() back to cpu.cc main decode loop, and added a
check in there to return control when bx_guard.special_unwind_stack
is set (compiling with debugger enabled only).
If in the debugger you try to execute further instructions
(which you shouldn't), other fields need to be reset I would
think, such as EXT and errorno, and have to make sure ESP/EIP
are corrected properly. Basically, this hack is only good
for examining the current situation of a nasty fault.
to give the compiler some hints:
BX_CPP_AttrPrintf(formatArg, firstArg)
BX_CPP_AttrNoReturn()
The first is to tell the compiler that a function receives printf-like
arguments so it can do some smart argument checking w.r.t. the
format string. The 2nd tells the compiler that the function does
not ever return; it's not used yet, but I'd like to use it on
exception() after we fix the situation of it returning for debugging.
I fixed one parameter mismatch in cpu/ by deleting a deprecated
debug print statement. There are several other mismatches in
other code modules.
exit out of cpu_loop() and back to the caller can be honored.
Previously, code in this function was a part of cpu_loop so
a "return;" would already do that. Now, a value is passed
back to cpu_loop() to denote such a request, and then a return
is executed from cpu_loop().
I haven't tested this yet, but previously I must have broke
certain debugging requests by moving the code to a separate
function and not fixing the "return;" statements.
Symptom: Linux kernel 2.4.19 would hang in random places. CPU still
running, but in dle loop.
Cause: if APIC interrupt occurred while a PIC interrupt was pending, the
PIC interrupt would be lost. This is because either an APIC or PIC
interrupt would trash any pending interrupt event because INTR is only a state,
not an event queue.
Temporary fix: reworked apic.cc to have it's own copy of INTR state. cpu.cc now
checks for both cpu.INTR and local_apic.INTR.
Need to do further research to see if local_apic and pic can be integrated in such
a way as properly manage the combined effects of both devices accessing INTR state.
value and a change-mask, rather than passing all the boolean
change flags as arguments.
Recoded the POPF instruction in flag_ctrl.cc to use the
new writeEFlags() function, and to make it more sane.
Also, the old write_flags() and write_eflags() functions
redirect to writeEFlags() for now. Later, when we get
back in a development mode, it would be better to make
all calls use the new function and get rid of the old ones.
been using the Boolean type for a number of multi-bit fields on the
assumption that it is actually many bits wide. However, this assumption is
unsafe and has caused some bugs that are hard to track down.
- in the Carbon library on MacOS X, Boolean is defined to be an unsigned char.
This has been causing some of the EFLAGS accessors to fail (bits 8-31)
because they depended on Boolean being 32 bits wide. I changed these
accessors to return Bit32u instead. I believe that this will finally fix
[ 618388 ] Unable to boot under MacOS X.
- It would be possible to create a bochs specific type for booleans (bx_bool),
but it's cleaner to simply use "Boolean" when we actually mean a 1-bit true
or false field, and Bit8u/Bit32u when it is a multibit field.
32-bits rather than 64. This is possible, because there is
always an active null (heartbeat) timer, with periodicity
of less than or equal to the maximum 32-bit int value.
This generates a little less code in the hot part of cpu_loop,
and saved about 3% execution time on a Win95 boot.
Moved the asynchronous handling code from cpu_loop() to its
own function since it's a long path. This neatened up the
code a little (less gotos and all), and made it more clear
to use a "while (1)" around the iterative code in cpu_loop().
so that windows types can be used in fields, for example in cdrom.h:
#ifdef WIN32
HANDLE cdrom_interface::hFile;
#endif
- since every file includes bochs.h, I removed includes of <windows.h>
everywhere else
- modified: bochs.h cpu/extdb.cc gui/win32.cc gui/wx.cc iodev/cdrom.cc
iodev/eth_win32.cc iodev/floppy.cc
coverage of the high-frequency eflags instructions. That should
complete the asm() eflags updates for now, as we should be stabilizing
moving towards bochs 2.0.
These seem to be working better, are a more simple design,
easier to understand, and AFAIK don't have race conditions
in them like the old ones do.
Re-coded the apic timer, to return cycle accurate values
which vary with each iteration of a read from a guest OS.
The previous implementation had very poor resolution. It
also didn't check the mask bit to see if an apic timer
interrupt should occur on countdown to 0. The apic timer
now calls its own bochs timer, rather than tag on the
one in iodev/devices.cc.
I needed to use one new function which is an inline in
pc_sytem.h. That would have to be added to the old pc_system.h if
we have to back-out to it.
Linux/x86-64 now boots until it hits two undefined opcodes:
FXRSTOR (0f ae). This restores FPU, MMX, XMM and MXCSR registers
from a 512-byte region of memory. We don't implement this yet.
MOVNTDQ (66 0f e7). This is a move involving an XMM register.
The 0x66 prefix is used so it's a double quadword, rather than
MOVNTQ (0f e7) which operates on a single quadword.
The Linux kernel panic is on the MOVNTQD opcodes. Perhaps that's
because that opcode is used in exception handling of the 1st?
Looks like we need to implement some new instructions.
instead of winmm being a part of GUI_LINK_OPTS_WIN32 only, it is
placed in @DEVICE_LINE_OPTS@ so that it will be used for sdl, rfb, wx,
etc.
- solve compile problems when building bximage, niclist, and any other
console based program. The compile flags returned by wx-config and
sdl-config did strange things to these console programs, for example
redefining main to SDL_main. Because I wanted to use the
configure-generated CFLAGS to compile the programs, but I wanted to
avoid including GUI specific compile options, I split up the configure's
@CFLAGS@ variable into @CFLAGS@ and @GUI_CFLAGS@, and split
@CXXFLAGS@ into @CXXFLAGS@ and @GUI_CXXFLAGS@. All programs in the
Bochs binary will use both, but the console programs will just use
@CFLAGS@ or @CXXFLAGS@.
- gui/Makefile.in, I no longer use the gui specific CFLAGS variables,
SDL_CFLAGS and WX_CXXFLAGS. These values are included in CFLAGS and
CXXFLAGS now.
- modified: configure.in, configure, all Makefile.in's
restart another one in wxWindows. Fixed that. Also, on restart, the
apic id's left over from the first run were causing panics. Fixed that.
- modified: main.cc cpu/apic.cc cpu/cpu.h cpu/init.cc
up pc_system.h. Moved all variables under the private: section,
as well as a few member functions. The string instructions
were accessing a field directly (only reads), so I indirected
that via an inline member function for better abstraction.
