- The general task was to make multiple CPU's which communicate
through their APICs. So instead of BX_CPU and BX_MEM, we now have
BX_CPU(x) and BX_MEM(y). For an SMP simulation you have several
processors in a shared memory space, so there might be processors
BX_CPU(0..3) but only one memory space BX_MEM(0). For cosimulation,
you could have BX_CPU(0) with BX_MEM(0), then BX_CPU(1) with
BX_MEM(1). WARNING: Cosimulation is almost certainly broken by the
SMP changes.
- to simulate multiple CPUs, you have to give each CPU time to execute
in turn. This is currently implemented using debugger guards. The
cpu loop steps one CPU for a few instructions, then steps the
next CPU for a few instructions, etc.
- there is some limited support in the debugger for two CPUs, for
example printing information from each CPU when single stepping.
- put /*comments symbols*/ around any chars after #endif. Other compilers
do not get it.
- fix cases in which a pointer is cast to a 32-bit int, then back to a
pointer. This breaks on a machine with 64-bit pointers. Examples:
FPU_sub arg 2 and FPU_div arg 2. The int->ptr->int conversions are
now done more safely by macros REGNO2PTR and PTR2INT.
- use GCC_ATTRIBUTE macro instead of __attribute__. For compilers that
do not support __attribute__, the macro can be defined to be nothing.
- in fpu_entry.c, arg1 of FPU_load_int32 is (s32*), but the calls to
it cast their data to (u32*).
- if compiler does NOT inline functions in poly.h, the "extern inline"
setting caused duplicate symbols to be created. Changed them to
"static inline" so that the mul_32_32 from different .c files do not
conflict.
- implemented setcc so that it doesn't use curly brackets inside parens
- comment out sigcontext structure definition, which conflicts with
non-linux or non-intel operating systems. It's not used by bochs anyway.
