By enabling the 'all_rings' option, you can utilize the port e9 hack
from ring3
IMO very useful for:
- user-mode sandbox (ex Cuckoo)
- malware analysis
- API/SYSCALL logger with a simple hook from ring3
- automation + instrumentation from user mode code
- ...
So yes, from this PR a user-mode-sandbox can display on the console of
the system running Bochs anything that is written to 0xE9 port
**This PR is 100% backward compatibility**
btw, @stlintel I'm not certain if **bochs/config.cc** is the ideal
location to define **bool port_e9_hack_all_rings** (unmapped io/dev is
better?)
from Fixes in VM Entry Checks for Guest Segment Registers #51
Correction in checks for Code Segment (CS):
Previously, the DPL of CS was incorrectly compared with its own RPL.
According to Intel SDM, Vol. 3C, Chapter 27.3.1.2, for non-conforming code segments (type 9 or 11), the DPL of CS should be equal to the DPL of SS.
And for conforming code segments (type 13 or 15), the DPL of CS cannot be greater than the DPL of SS.
This way VMCS is not accessed multiple times which is important for some usages
Fixes in VM Entry Checks for Guest Segment Registers #51
Correction in Type range checks for DS, ES, FS, GS:
The original code erroneously applied the check for types less than 11, excluding types equal to 11.
This is not in accordance with Intel SDM, Vol. 3C, Chapter 27.3.1.2, which states that the check should include types equal to or less than 11.
This fix corrects this by including types equal to or less than 11 in the check.
This adds over-current signaling to the USBs four host controllers.
To signal an OC, use the runtime configuration and set the checkbox (GUI) or text config's parameter to 1.
This pull request also adds USB documentation to user.dbk.

The 'd.pcap_image_t pcapture' in usb_common.h called its constructor and set 'fd' to -1. However, in the usb_device_c() constructor, we then cleared all of 'd', resetting pcapture.fd back to zero. Then on Bochs exit, the pcap_image_t destructor tried to close the file since 'fd' was zero instead of -1. To fix this, I removed the pcap_image_t constructor and now call pcap_image_init() within the usb_device_c constructor.
Added examples for new options.
- xhci: model= option
- xhci: allow the user to select number of ports
- usb disk: proto= option (bbb or uasp)
Added xhci primary stream support.
(Secondary stream support is not included)
Added (experimental) usb disk protocol UASP for super- and high-speed usb disk devices.
(high-speed uasp support is not thoroughly tested)
xhci: fixed "change event" function
scsi: fixed bug in command 0x25
scsi: added command 9E/10
