-before 0.5.2:
-------------
-
-- TLB code protection support
-- basic VGA optimizations
-- disable SMC handling for ARM/SPARC/PPC
-
short term:
----------
+- debug option in 'configure' script + disable -fomit-frame-pointer
+- Precise VGA timings for old games/demos (malc patch)
+- merge PIC spurious interrupt patch
+- merge Solaris patch
+- warning for OS/2: must not use 128 MB memory (merge bochs cmos patch ?)
+- config file (at least for windows/Mac OS X)
+- commit message if execution of code in IO memory
+- update doc: PCI infos.
+- VNC patch + Synaptic patch.
+- basic VGA optimizations
+- physical memory cache (reduce qemu-fast address space size to about 32 MB)
+- better code fetch (different exception handling + CS.limit support)
+- do not resize vga if invalid size.
+- avoid looping if only exceptions
+- cycle counter for all archs
+- TLB code protection support for PPC
+- see openMosix Doc
+- disable SMC handling for ARM/SPARC/PPC (not finished)
+- see undefined flags for BTx insn
- user/kernel PUSHL/POPL in helper.c
- keyboard output buffer filling timing emulation
-- verify tb_flush() with a20 and TLBs
-
-- cmos clock update and timers
+- return UD exception if LOCK prefix incorrectly used
- test ldt limit < 7 ?
- tests for each target CPU
- fix CCOP optimisation
- fix arm fpu rounding (at least for float->integer conversions)
- SMP support
+ppc specific:
+------------
+- TLB invalidate not needed if msr_pr changes
+- SPR_ENCODE() not useful
+- enable shift optimizations ?
+
lower priority:
--------------
+- more friendly BIOS (logo)
+- int15 ah=86: use better timing
- suppress shift_mem ops
- fix some 16 bit sp push/pop overflow (pusha/popa, lcall lret)
-- sysenter/sysexit emulation
-- optimize FPU operations (evaluate x87 stack pointer statically) and
- fix cr0.TS emulation
+- optimize FPU operations (evaluate x87 stack pointer statically)
- add IPC syscalls
- use -msoft-float on ARM
- use kernel traps for unaligned accesses on ARM ?
-- handle rare page fault cases (in particular if page fault in heplers or
+- handle rare page fault cases (in particular if page fault in helpers or
in syscall emulation code).
- fix thread stack freeing (use kernel 2.5.x CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID)
- more syscalls (in particular all 64 bit ones, IPCs, fix 64 bit
cases of self modifying code.
- use gcc as a backend to generate better code (easy to do by using
op-i386.c operations as local inline functions).
-- add SSE2/MMX operations
