966f2c8133 - added new serial modes based on SF patch #1928848 by Eugene Toder
* "pipe-server" (win32 only): It makes bochs a named pipe server so other
     application can communicate with it using pipes API. Useful e.g. for remote
     kernel debugging.
  * "pipe-client" (win32 only)
  * "socket-server": for the use with gdb

e48647acc1 - updates related to the save/restore changes 2007-09-29 09:01:02 +00:00
Stanislav Shwartsman
071c5c1a26 A lot of changes but everything is really trivial.
Make save/restore default feature, the configure option for save/restore removed from configure script and save/restore made available forever. All code now assume it is exists. Bochs save/restore tree previosly called "save_restore" renamed to "bochs" tree and it will be havily used everywhere, starting from save/restore and ending by various bochs debugger functions. I am going to rework debugger code to get rid of debug CPU access functions and use this "bochs" param tree instead

f8c3968d42 Changes list made after CVS service crash:
- Fixed critical bug in CPU code added with one of the prev commits
  - Disasm support for SSE4
  - Rename PNI->SSE3 everywhere in the code
  - Correctly decode, disassemble and execute 'XCHG R8, rAX' x86-64 instruction
  - Correctly decode, disassemble and execute multi-byte NOP 0F F1 opcode
  - Fixed ENTER and LEAVE instructions in x86-64 mode
  - Added ability to turn ON instruction trace, only GUI support is missed.
    Instruction trace could be enabled if Bochs was compiled with disasm
  - More changes Bit32u -> bx_phy_address
  - Complete preliminary implementation of SMM in Bochs, SMI is still PANICs but if you press 'continue' everything should work OK
  - Small code cleanup
  - Update CHANGES and user docs

1d4fa8b327 Available back ability to use eip register as source in 'set reg = <expr>' cmd.
Setting the eip register still not available (deliberatelly).
I don't want to enable it util I find some easy interface to do it.
I don't want to allow setting of part of RIP register using 'set eip=<expr>' and leave the upper part unchanged ....

Remove unused test registres from debugger
Fix compilation error in cpu.h
Change trace-on/trace-off commands. Make one 'trace' command with usage of 'trace on/trace off'
