sparc fixes (Blue Swirl)
[qemu.git] / TODO
1 short term:
2 ----------
3 - debug option in 'configure' script + disable -fomit-frame-pointer
4 - Precise VGA timings for old games/demos (malc patch)
5 - merge PIC spurious interrupt patch
6 - merge Solaris patch
7 - warning for OS/2: must not use 128 MB memory (merge bochs cmos patch ?)
8 - config file (at least for windows/Mac OS X)
9 - commit message if execution of code in IO memory
10 - update doc: PCI infos.
11 - VNC patch + Synaptic patch.
12 - basic VGA optimizations
13 - physical memory cache (reduce qemu-fast address space size to about 32 MB)
14 - better code fetch (different exception handling + CS.limit support)
15 - do not resize vga if invalid size.
16 - avoid looping if only exceptions
17 - cycle counter for all archs
18 - TLB code protection support for PPC
19 - see openMosix Doc
20 - disable SMC handling for ARM/SPARC/PPC (not finished)
21 - see undefined flags for BTx insn
22 - user/kernel PUSHL/POPL in helper.c
23 - keyboard output buffer filling timing emulation
24 - return UD exception if LOCK prefix incorrectly used
25 - test ldt limit < 7 ?
26 - tests for each target CPU
27 - fix CCOP optimisation
28 - fix all remaining thread lock issues (must put TBs in a specific invalid
29 state, find a solution for tb_flush()).
30 - fix arm fpu rounding (at least for float->integer conversions)
31 - SMP support
32
33 ppc specific:
34 ------------
35 - TLB invalidate not needed if msr_pr changes
36 - SPR_ENCODE() not useful
37 - enable shift optimizations ?
38
39 lower priority:
40 --------------
41 - more friendly BIOS (logo)
42 - int15 ah=86: use better timing
43 - suppress shift_mem ops
44 - fix some 16 bit sp push/pop overflow (pusha/popa, lcall lret)
45 - optimize FPU operations (evaluate x87 stack pointer statically)
46 - add IPC syscalls
47 - use -msoft-float on ARM
48 - use kernel traps for unaligned accesses on ARM ?
49 - handle rare page fault cases (in particular if page fault in helpers or
50 in syscall emulation code).
51 - fix thread stack freeing (use kernel 2.5.x CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID)
52 - more syscalls (in particular all 64 bit ones, IPCs, fix 64 bit
53 issues, fix 16 bit uid issues)
54 - use page_unprotect_range in every suitable syscall to handle all
55 cases of self modifying code.
56 - use gcc as a backend to generate better code (easy to do by using
57 op-i386.c operations as local inline functions).
