- return model=2 so that Linux recognizes the processor as having an APIC.
We don't really know what Hammer returns.
- in SetCR4, allow bits 9 and 10 to be written
the icache pageStamp check too early, before it was known
that the TLB entry would produce a physical address in
range of the normal part of physical memory. PCI accesses
were causing seg faults because of this. I haven't tested
this for PCI.
which says to paste getB_ with flag and then paste with (. It should
be "getB_##flag(void)". Some preprocessors are complaining about pasting
the symbol with the paren.
of (1 & (val32>>N)), and added a getB_?F() accessor for special
cases which need a strict binary value (exactly 0 or 1). Most
code only needed a value for logical comparison. I modified the
special cases which do need a binary number for shifting and
comparison between flags, to use the special getB_?F() accessor.
Cleaned up memory.cc functions a little, now that all accesses
are within a single page.
Fixed a (not very likely encountered) bug in fetchdecode.cc (and
fetchdecode64.cc) where a 2-byte opcode starting with a prefix
starts at the last offset on a page. There were no checks
on the segment overrides for a boundary condition. I added them.
The eflags enhancements added just a tiny bit of performance.
- don't allow MMX on cpu level < 5.
- require FPU support on cpu level >= 55
- don't allow MMX support without FPU support (moved this check from
cpu/i387.h to config.h)
so frequently.
Coded asm() statements for INC/DEC_ERX() instructions.
Cleaned up the iCache a litle including a bug fix. The
generation ID was decrementing the whole field including
some high meta bits. That could roll over after 1 Billion
cycles. I know only decrement if the field is valid, to
save the write.
I implemented inline functions which can serve the value of
the arithmetic flags if they are cached, and redirect to
the lazy_flags.cc routines if not.
Most of this was just prep work for adding more asm() statements
for native eflags processing when on x86.
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.
but if you hand edit cpu/cpu.h, and change BxICacheEntries,
you can try different sizes. I'll make this more flexible
with configure. For now, use "--enable-icache" with no parameters.
- Modified fetchdecode.cc/fetchdecode64.cc just enough so that
instructions which encode a direct address now use a memory
resolution function which just sticks the immediate address
into rm_addr. With cached instructions we need this.
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.
read all param values from CPU #0. The only solution I can come up with
is to change the siminterface handler function interface to pass a void*
to the callback function. I'll take care of it eventually.
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.
no longer used. Also rearranged that struct a little
to be more compressed. Over time, I'm going to reduce
it further, for use with future accelerations.
enhancement to bochs. You can now configure with
--enable-guest2host-tlb.
Force the support of big pages (PSE) when x86-64 is configured.
Reverted back to only one kind of TLB entry style, since everything
is ported.
Fixed one bug in io.cc with as_64 and the index registers.
There are others, as noticed by Peter.
class declaration, for example:
static const unsigned os_64=0, as_64=0;
After reading some suggestions on usenet, I changed these into
enums instead, like this:
enum { os_64=0, as_64=0 };
be used at all, and Peter didn't want it. "extdb.o" is compiled
into libcpu.a, if configured for it.
Removed a few #warnings for x86-64 compile, based on Peter's
line-item comments regarding the warnings I inserted during
the port/merge.
