Since the SYSCALL replaces the LOADALL instruction, it is incompatible with
earlier CPU types.
At moment, the SYSCALL is only enabled by x86-64 emulation, but the code
can be incorporated in IA32 only emulations.
Instructions added:
0F 05 SYSCALL (replaces LOADALL)
0F 07 SYSRET (new)
TODO: restructure #if ... so that it can be used by non x86-64 emulations.
smarter. If you use --enable-x86-64, it has the following side
effects on other options:
- cpu level defaults to 6 instead of 5
- ignore bad msr defaults to on (Peter T. requested this)
- if cpu level is 6 or greater, these options are enabled by default.
- 4meg pages (PSE)
- physical address extensions (PAE)
- global pages (PGE)
- apic support
- a few weeks ago I changed the gui code so that it always made a copy
of the clipboard data using new Bit8u[] and passed it into the keyboard
code. But I didn't get the keyboard code quite right, and Christophe
noticed the incorrect malloc that I had forgotten to remove. I changed
it to work as I intended:
1. gui code allocates paste buffer (new), copies clipboard data in
2. gui code passes the buffer to the keyboard code, and forgets about it
3. keyboard code uses the buffer, then frees it when finished (delete)

. 4 ata interfaces support
. devices auto-detection
. 16bits/32bits device access
. EDD3.0 support
. ata/atapi layer rewrite
. added verious DEBUG_XXX to debug only parts of the bios, because we're running low on data space in debug mode
. moved ata data at offset 0x121 in EBDA. Previously, data was being overwritten by keyboard.sys
. added jump to [0x40:0x67] after reset if shutdown status is 0x05. Fixes bug [ 601166 ] CMOS Problem @ "0x0F Index 0x05 data"
. DMA controller init on POST entry

I got Win95 running with 32-bit paging/filesystem using the
recommended driver and these patches. Since the patches did
such a good job bracketing code modifications with a #define,
they might as well become part of the current CVS code.
use getB_CF() etc. getB_CF() and friends are only for a relatively
small number of cases where a true boolean/binary number (0 or 1) is required
rather than 0 or non-0 as is returned by get_CF().
loadSRegLMNominal() which should be used to load a segment register
in long-mode with nominal values which are compatible with existing
checks and expectations for descriptor cache values.
Fixed 64-bit iret to not do a descriptor fetch if SS selector is null.
Also load SS with loadSRegLMNorminal() in the same case.
was not correct (used == 0, rather than s&0xffc == 0). Also,
with a null SS selector, it was fetching the descriptor anyways.
Put more code inside the if (selector != NULL) clause.
For a temporary measure I added the local INIT_64_DESCRIPTOR
from segment_ctrl_pro.cc, and used it in the case that the
SS selector is null. We need to make a real function which
sets a descriptor in long-mode to nominal values. I'm going
to do that next... I can't stand seeing the current hacks. :^)
section title, and less like the grammar that you're supposed to use.
Someone on irc was confused because it was written in uppercase, but then
bochs did not accept the uppercase ATA0-MASTER parameter.
Fixed/updated/cleaned guest2host TLB speedups for Long mode.
I now can boot the Linux x86-64 kernel to the VFS mount message,
using all the accelerations.
these from interfering from a normal compile here's what I did.
In config.h.in (which will generate config.h after a configure),
I added a #define called KPL64Hacks:
#define KPL64Hacks
*After* running configure, you must set this by hand. It will
default to off, so you won't get my hacks in a normal compile.
This will go away soon. There is also a macro just after that
called BailBigRSP(). You don't need to enabled that, but you
can. In many of the instructions which seemed like they could
be hit by the fetchdecode64() process, but which also touched
EIP/ESP, I inserted a macro. Usually this macro expands to nothing.
If you like, you can enabled it, and it will panic if it finds
the upper bits of RIP/RSP set. This helped me find bugs.
Also, I cleaned up the emulation in ctrl_xfer{8,16,32}.cc.
There were some really old legacy code snippets which directly
accessed operands on the stack with access_linear. Lots of
ugly code instead of just pop_32() etc. Cleaning those up,
minimized the number of instructions which directly manipulate
the stack pointer, which should help in refining 64-bit support.
