integrate it, if it looks good. Putting here for the CVS trail.
"This patch adds extra inline asm statements for the most important
instructions I found to be still resorting to lazy flags execution.
I counted the instructions that "hit" and "missed" when an eflag
value was needed - if there was a miss, the flag was not known and
had to be calculated with lazy_flags.cc. The culprit instruction
which last executed to affect the eflags was tallied."
parameter so we know which source modules are requesting
timers. Also added a SpewPeriodicTimerInfo #define in
case somebody is still having guest OS hang problems. If
enabled, this macro will force a brief dump of the active timers
list to the bochsout.txt file, every 5Million ticks.
If the lowest timer's period is extremely low, that would be
suspect.
testing. Please try these out if you want to help test
them or if your guest OS appears to be hanging with
no apparent activity. The old bochs internal timer
framework is broken in several areas.
I put these in the patches directory for now. After
a 'make all-clean', you can do something like:
mv pc_system.cc pc_system.cc-old
mv pc_system.h pc_system.h-old
cp patches/pc_system.cc-kpl .
cp patches/pc_system.h-kpl .
make
And let me know if A) they work for you and B) if they help
the hanging problem.
- moved cpu_online_map into the BX_CPU_C structure as a static member
(there is only one per bochs, not one per CPU)
- reduced the diffs in several places to make it more clear what had changed
- removed lots of whitespace diffs

This patch adds remote GDB stub capability to Bochs.
It's an updated version of the patched bochs 1.3pre1 in

I'm keeping a separate patch in case Christophe wants to make revisions
to his patch without my changes getting in the way.
I have just been working on the configuration interface part, for
example making it so that when you disable the ata[0123] channel, all the
devices controlled by that channel will be disabled as well. I haven't
gotten around to the wxWindows part, but these changes will make the
wxWindows work much easier. I will update this patch as my work progresses.
to diff configure...you'll have to run autoconf yourself.
- in config.h.in set BX_SUPPORT_MMX to 0, not 1. The configure script
will replace it with a 1 if appropriate. That's the way all other
options are done.
- you need to use patch -p1 for this
