Averything that required cpu.h include now has it explicitly and there are a lot of files not dependant by CPU at all which will compile a lot faster now ...
2. Fixed bug
[ 989478 ] I-Cache and undefined Instruktions
The L4 microkernel uses an undefined instruction to
trap for a special requests into the kernel (LOCK NOP).
The handler fixes this up and gives the user a special
code page with syscall stubs. If you're not using the
I-Cache optimization everthing works find on bochs. But
if you enable the I-Cache (--enable-icache), then the
undefined opcode exception is thrown only once for ever
virtual address it occurs. See the demodisk of the
L4KA::pistachio
(http://www.l4ka.org/projects/pistachio/download.php).
In this case the pingpong benchmark of this demo is of
interest. Everything runs fine until the program tries
to spawn a new task for its measurements. This new task
shares the code of the creating program. But the new
task stops executing at the undefined instruction
explained above and no exception is thrown.
I will continue the development in new softfloat-fpu-ver4 branch
Current version already implements ALL FPU instructions except
FSIN, FCOS, FSINCOS, FPTAN, FPATAN, FYL2XP1, F2XM1, FYL2X
I think it solved all currently reported bugs and feature requests
related to FPU code.
Please write your own test programms and test the implemntation in all ways you can.
Thanks,
Stanislav
