Detailed change log :

 

- CPU

- Implemented EPT A/D extensions support. Bochs is fully aligned with rev043 of the of Intel® Architecture Manual.

- Implemented ADX (ADCX/ADOX) instructions support, the feature can be enabled using .bochsrc CPUID option.

- More than 10% CPU emulation speedup with even more optimal lazy flags handling, stack access optimizations and cross branch trace linking.

- Support for AMD's SVM hardware emulation in Bochs CPU, to enable configure with --enable-svm option

- Implemented AMD Extended XAPIC support, to enable set .bochsrc CPU APIC option to 'xapic_ext'

! Added Corei5 750 (Lynnfield) configuration to the CPUDB

! Added Turion64 (Tyler) configuration to the CPUDB

! Added AMD Phenom X3 8650 (Toliman) configuration to the CPUDB

! Added Corei7 3770K (Ivy Bridge) configuration to the CPUDB

- Bugfixes for CPU emulation correctness and stability (critical fixes for APIC/X2APIC, VMX and AVX/XOP emulation)

 

- Bochs Debugger and Instrumentation

- Implemented new debugger command 'info device [string]' that shows the state of the device specified in 'string'

- Improved debug dump for ne2k, pci, pic and vga/cirrus devices. Added debug dump for pci2isa, i/o apic, cmos, pit, floppy and dma devices.

- Added TLB to CPU param tree - now it can be browsed from Bochs internal debugger and Bochs debugger GUI through param tree interfaces

- Implemented 'writemem' debugger command to dump virtual memory block starting from selected linear address into a file

- Updated definition of instrumentation callbacks, see description in instrumentation.txt / Fixed instrumentation examples

 

- Configure and compile

- Moved disk imaging, networking, sound and USB devices to subdirectories in the iodev folder.

- pcidev: enable support for Linux kernel 3.x (Debian patch by Guillem Jover)

- debugger: generate parser / lexer files only if all required tools are present

 

- Config interface

- Added support for direct device plugin loading with bochsrc directive for devices which have the same name for the plugin and config option.

- The bochsrc option 'plugin_ctrl' can now be used to load/unload optional plugins directly when parsing the config file or command line. See the bochsrc sample for supported devices.

- Moved bochsrc parsing / writing and config parameter handling for networking,

sound and USB devices to the plugin device code. The options are only available when the corresponding plugin device is loaded.

- Added ability to set log action per device from .bochsrc.

- Added new command line option '-noconsole' to disable the console window on Windows host.

- Renamed PCI Pseudo NIC option to "pcipnic" (for direct plugin loading)

- Moved several related options to the new "keyboard" bochsrc option.

- Added new parameter 'rtc_sync' for the 'clock' option. If this option is enabled together with the realtime synchronization, the RTC runs at realtime speed.

- Moved MWAIT_IS_NOP bochsrc option from CPUID to CPU so it can be set even if cpu was configured using pre-defined CPUDB profile.

- Allow larger CPU 'quantum' values when emulating SMP systems for speed (quantum values up to 32 are allowed now).
