- the operands for bt, bts, arpl and `enter' were reversed.
- btr was reported as bts (with the correct operand order).
- cmpxchg was misplaced. It was misplaced differently in the
comments. It is misplaced differently again in the i486 manual.
I put it where the i586 manual and gas say it is.
- fucompp was misplaced.
- the rr table for(s) some versions of fstp, fcom and fcomp was non-null.
This caused some invalid opcodes to be reported as "" instead of as
"<bad instruction>".
- the word and long versions of the fi* instructions were reversed.
- aaa and daa were reversed.
Fixed bugs involving unusual operand sizes:
- 32-bit registers weren't always forced for bswap or for moves to and
from special registers.
- the operand sizes weren't reported for [l]call or [l]jmp.
- displacements weren't truncated mod 2^16 when the operand size was
16-bit.
- too-large displacements and offsets were fetched, and too-large
offsets were reported, when the operand size was 16-bit.
- sign extended immediate bytes were extended too far when the operand
size was 16-bit.
Fixed bugs involving usual operand sizes:
- 8-bit source registers weren't forced for mov[sz]b[wl].
- 16-bit source registers weren't forced for mov[sz]w[wl].
- immediate bytes were sometimes reported as sign extended even for
byte operations. Same for immediate words in word operations.
- the immediate byte was not reported as sign extended for `push'.
Finished Pentium support:
- cpuid, cmpxchg8b and rsm were missing.
Finished i287 support:
- fneni, fndisi and fsetpm were missing. These are harmless nops on
later FPUs.
Improvements:
- report invalid opcodes 0xd6 and 0xf1 using .byte. They are special
in not causing invalid operand exceptions when executed.
- report the immediate byte for unusual aam and aad instuctions.
Immediate bytes other than 0x0a always worked and are documented to
work on Pentiums.
This code was sent to me by Bruce Evans, and seems to fix some
possible kernel panic in case of an execution error. It did not
cause any problems on my system, but I did never observe the
problem this patch is supposed to fix, anyway.
This patch is a NOP, unless the kernel is built with "options
USER_LDT", and doesn't affect the GENERIC kernel for this reason.
I want to have it in 2.2: it fixes a bug ...

also implies VM_PROT_EXEC. We support it that way for now,
since the break system call by default gives VM_PROT_ALL. Now
we have a better chance of coalesing map entries when mixing
mmap/break type operations. This was contributing to excessive
numbers of map entries on the modula-3 runtime system. The
problem is still not "solved", but the situation makes more
sense.
Eventually, when we work on architectures where VM_PROT_READ
is orthogonal to VM_PROT_EXEC, we will have to visit this
issue carefully (esp. regarding security issues.)
is still broken - it doesn't restore the floating point state.
2.2-BETA users should disable it using npx0 flags 0x04 the same as
2.2-ALPHA users should have.
This makes unexpected faults (in an interrupt handler) more likely
to crash properly. It could be done even better (more robustly and
more efficiently) using lazy fault handling.
configure() where it always belonged. It was originally slightly
misplaced after configure(). Rev.138 left it completely misplaced
before the DEVFS, DRIVERS and CONFIGURE sysinits by not moving it
together with configure().
Restored the printing of bootinfo.bi_n_bios_used now that it can
be nonzero.
I've added an installation from optical disk drive facility.
This enables FreeBSD to be installed from an optical disk, which
may be formatted in "super floppy" style or sliced into MSDOS-FS
and UFS partitions.
Note: ncr.c should be reviewed by Stefan Esser <se@freebsd.org>
and cd.c by Joerg Wunsch <joerg@freebsd.org> before bringing this
into 2.2.

decrease the size of buffer_map to approx 2/3 of what it used to be
(buffer_map can be smaller now.) The original commit of these changes
increased the size of buffer_map to the point where the system would
not boot on large systems -- now large systems with large caches will
have even less problems than before.
consistent stack frame in fastmove() so that only one new fault handler
is necessary.
Should be in 2.2. Harmless until the i586 versions are reenabled.
substantially increasing buffer space. Specifically, we double
the number of buffers, but allocate only half the amount of memory
per buffer. Note that VDIR files aren't cached unless instantiated
in a buffer. This will significantly improve caching.
aic7xxx cards failing on certain motherboards, reverse the logic used to
control this feature. AHC_FORCE_PIO is replaced with AHC_ALLOW_MEMIO.
GENERIC no longer needs to specify the AHC_FORCE_PIO option since this is
the default.
user supplies a bad address, because they push a lot of stuff that the
fault handler doesn't know about onto the stack. This has been broken
for more than half a year despite being tested for almost half a year
in -current.
negative-logic flags (flags 0x01 and 0x02 for npx0, defaulting to unset = on).
This changes the default from off to on. The options have been in current
for several months with no problems reported.
Added a boot-time negative-logic flag for the old I5886_FAST_BCOPY option
which went away too soon (flag 0x04 for npx0, defaulting to unset = on).
Added a boot-time way to set the memory size (iosiz in config, iosize in
userconfig for npx0).
LINT:
Removed old options. Documented npx0's flags and iosiz.
options.i386:
Removed old options.
identcpu.c:
Don't set the function pointers here. Setting them has to be delayed
until after userconfig has had a chance to disable them and until after
a good npx0 has been detected.
machdep.c:
Use npx0's iosize instead of MAXMEM if it is nonzero.
support.s:
Added vectors and glue code for copyin() and copyout().
Fixed ifdefs for i586_bzero().
Added ifdefs for i586_bcopy().
npx.c:
Set the function pointers here.
Clear hw_float when an npx exists but is too broken to use.
Restored style from a year or three ago in npxattach().
if I586_CPU is defined. Note there is a runtime check so the code
won't be run for non-Pentium CPUs anyway.
2.2 candidate, this code has been tested for almost half year in -current.
handlers if interrupts are nested more than a few (3) deep. This
only reduces the maximum nesting level by 1 with the standard
drivers unless there is a related bug somewhere, but can't hurt
much (the worst case is returning to hoggish interrupt handler like
wdintr(), but such interrupt handlers hurt anyway).
Fixed a previously harmless race incrementing the interrupt nesting
level.
This should be in 2.1.6 and 2.2.
hardware interrupt counts add up to the total. Previously, software
interrupts generated by splz() were counted in the total. These
software interrupts seem to be very rare - there have apparently been
0 of them on freefall among the last 352448857 interrupts.
mappings with mlock. This problem only occurred because of the
quick unmap code not respecting the wired-ness of pages in the
process. In the future, we need to eliminate the dependency
intrinsic to the design of the code that wired pages actually
be mapped. It is kind-of bogus not to have wired pages mapped,
but it is also a weakness for the code to fall flat because
of a missing page.
This show fix a problem that Tor Egge has been having, and also
should be included into 2.2-RELEASE.
