to decide what to declare. It is much more evil to do this when the
other include file belongs to someone else. Teach this to check the
other possible include guard for Xlib.h. Fixes NetBSD native X build.
* patch-aa is for tap detection bug.
* patch-bb is for build on NetBSD 4.
The patch-aa requires bump of PKGREVISION.

cdrom: convert Mode 1 Form 1 sectors to Mode 1 raw if requested
[R. Belmont]
Added byuu's cothread library, along with a wrapper class. Switched to
using one cothread for each executable device. This functionality is
strictly internal and should result in no changes in scheduling
behavior. However, it now becomes possible to exit out of a device's
execution in the midst of an instruction by calling
machine().scheduler().make_active(). Note that this is somewhat
dangerous for cores that have logic at the start of their execute loop
to check for interrupts or other conditions, as those checks will be
skipped upon resume, so consider this sort of early exiting to be
highly experimental for now. [Aaron Giles, Miodrag Milanovic, byuu]
(Please Note: cothread usage is behind a compile-time define as per now,
they will be reenabled in the next dev cycle)
Convert Namco C352 to modern C++ device [R. Belmont]

memory: Change the gc into a refcounter, for speed reasons.
[O. Galibert]
Fix inverted check on anonymous timers prior to saving state. Also fix
bug where we fail to ignore the permanent non-expiring anonymous
timer. Added code to log timers, and we now log them at each save
attempt as well as at restore time. Should fix most recent save state
releated regressions. [Aaron Giles]

- Modernised internal memory map;
- MDEC is now an internal device of the PlayStation CPU;
- Root counter & Serial I/O converted to internal CPU devices;
- Moved PlayStation IRQ code to sub device of the CPU;
Switch input ports to use function-based constructors instead of
tokens. Remove the old tokenizing helpers. Add basic classes for
ports, fields, settings, and dip locations as a first step. These will
be fully cleaned up later. Added machine() method to field to hide all
the necessary indirection. Changed custom/changed handlers into
generic read/write handlers, and added wrappers to convert them to
device read/write lines. [Aaron Giles]
Changed input read/write and crosshair callbacks into delegates.
Changed signature for callbacks to take an input_field_config
reference instead of pointer. [Aaron Giles]
Removed legacy trampolines from eeprom_device, taking advantage of new
input port support for delegates. [Aaron Giles]
mc6845.c: Converted to C++. [Wilbert Pol]
Fixed the disassembly of the "mov ax, mem" instructions (opcodes A0-
A3) in the i386 and NEC disassemblers. The argument (the memory
address) was being displayed as a signed number, which doesn't make
any sense. [Alex Jackson]
Fixed a tiny bug with the debugger hex dump command: the printable
characters in ASCII range from 32 to 12*6*, not 127. [Alex Jackson]
Fixed input regression with Racin' Force, allowing it to boot again
[Angelo Salese]
Gave labels to many inputs in Midway's T, Wolf and Y Unit games as
well as CPS1 and CPS3. [Joe Caporale]
Implemented experimental HLSL post-processing support on Direct3D 9
targets. [Ryan Holtz, Bat Country Entertainment]
* 5-pass post-processing: Upscale, Post-Process, Store Last Frame,
Defocus 1, Defocus 2
* Many tunable effects including: Scanlines, defocus, linear
deconvergence, radial deconvergence, pincushion, RGB colorspace
convolution, YIQ colorspace convolution, saturation, simulated dot
crawl, simulated chroma subsampling, aperture masking, and more.
* Requires a GPU that supports Shader Model 3.0 to be enabled and a
powerful GPU, the entire pipeline consists of approximately 30
texel fetches and approximately 230 arthimetic ops.
* Will supersample the framebuffer up to 9x in both X and Y, but this
requires an enormously powerful GPU that has not been invented;
users with Radeon 5000-class cards should limit themselves to 3x,
Radeon 4000 to 1.5x.
* The default configuration will NOT appear to do anything; it
requires tuning to the user's liking.
* Should nicely fall back in all cases except missing shaders, and it
might fall back correctly in that case as well. Report any
anomalies.
- For obvious reasons, the Direct3D8 renderer cannont support this.
Enable Visual Studio basic run-time checks in non-optimized builds
[Oliver Stoneberg]
Flush stderr, so the data is actually written when output is being
redirected [Oliver Stoneberg]
i286 - Added 286 LOADALL and triple fault resets. [Carl]

privilege checks. [Carl]
i86 - Fixed shift instructions, helps detecting proper CPU [Miodrag
Milanovic]
i86 - Fixed handling of invalid instructions in 0x60-0x6f section
[Miodrag Milanovic]
Major clean-up and state machine conversion for the Sega ST-V / Saturn
driver [Angelo Salese]
HLSL Updates [Ryan Holtz, Bat Country Entertainment]
* Split color convolution and deconvergence into separate shaders for
potential GPU savings down the line
* Added light and heavy variants of the color convolution shader, the
former with YIQ colorspace removed
* Re-worked defocus to occur prior to shadow mask application, as it
would be on a real monitor.
* Split "pincushion" into "Pincushion" and "Screen Curvature", the
former affecting the only the displayed image and the latter only
affecting the shadow mask.
* Made major fixes to CVBS simulation, significantly increasing color
saturation
* Added magnet deconvergence via a shader uniform
* Improved phosphorescence
* Improved YIQ codec
* Added adjustable color carrier in YIQ processing mode.
* Fixed resolution-change crash and likely D3D performance regression
with -nohlsl on low-spec cards
* Created a new OSD function, osd_get_slider_list, which allows
OS-specific slider controls.
HLSL Post-Processing Updates: [Ryan Holtz, Bat Country Entertainment, cgwg]
* The defocus pass is now switched off when defocus_x and defocus_y
are zero, allowing finer-grained performance tuning.
* Removed YIQ convolution from the main color-convolution shader and
replaced it with a full composite encode/decode pass. This is slower,
but looks amazing(ly like a terrible TV) and can be turned off.
* More authentic NTSC dot crawl and bandwidth limiting.
i86 - Implemented POP CS and MOV CS,reg instructions that are 8086

Various Irem M92 / M107 fixes [Alex Jackson]
* Hooked up sound CPU interrupts properly, using the V35 builtin
interrupt controller, rather than generating the vectors in the
driver.
* Cleaned up ROM mirroring, using AM_REGION macros in the address
maps instead of memcpy()ing all over the place in the
DRIVER_INITs.
* Converted bankswitching to use configured banks. Only configure the
banks and install the bankswitch WRITE_HANDLER in the games that
actually use it (i.e. those with a full megabyte of program ROM).
This and the previous change make the drivers a lot less confusing
to look at... I hope.
* Converted both drivers to use a scanline timer device instead of a
hand-rolled one.
* Added save state support to m92.c. Everything necessary was already
saved, I just had to add the tag. However, presumably due to the
core emu_timer breakage (MT 4330, 4331) the save states don't
actually work at the moment. I've already reported this as MT
#4333

softlist: moved software list handling (in the Internal UI) to a
separate source, and made the code more similar to the File Manager
handling code. [Fabio Priuli]

version
* Added a detailed table of all known releases until now with usefull
notes to identify new Cart Regions/CD Revisions
* Renamed some CHDs to use the new Catalog # standard

pic8259 - Added support for cascade mode, updated interface in all
drivers [Miodrag Milanovic]
upd7725.c: Implementation of the p0 and p1 output bits as device
lines; preliminary implementation of INT input line. [Lord Nightmare]
Replaced mamedriv.c with a new driver list mechanism that is generated
by the build tools. The emulator core now expects the presence of a
file called src/$(TARGET)/$(SUBTARGET).lst which is just a raw list of
driver names, one per line. C and C++ comments are still permitted.
This file is parsed by a new build tool makelist which extracts the
driver names, sorts them, and generates a file called drivlist.c,
which is consumed by the core. [Aaron Giles]
Added new osdcore function osd_malloc_array() which is identical to
osd_malloc() but obviously hints that the underlying allocation is for
an array. Updated all callers to use the appropriate form. Modified
the Windows allocator to only use guard pages for array-style
allocations, allowing us to enable them once again in debug builds.
[Aaron Giles]
Created new static class driver_list to wrap accesses to the list of
available drivers. Improved speed of driver lookups by relying on the
presorting done by makelist. [Aaron Giles]
Created helper class driver_enumerator as a helper for iterating
through the list of drivers. This class supports basic filtering and
iteration, and also serves as a temporary cache of machine_configs.
[Aaron Giles]
Created cli_frontend object to wrap all the CLI handling code in
clifront.c. Updated/simplified all the code to take advantage of the
driver_enumerator. [Aaron Giles]
Created media_auditor object to wrap all the auditing functions in
audit.c. Updated all users to the new interface. Note that the new
auditing mechanism is slightly out of sync with the romload code in
terms of finding ROMs owned by devices, so it may mis-report some
issues until the new ROM loading code is in. [Aaron Giles]
Added concept of a per-device searchpath. For most devices, their
searchpath is just the short name of the device. For driver_devices,
the searchpath is driver[;parent[;bios]]. This searchpath will
eventually be used by the rom loader to find ROMs. For now it is used
by the media auditor only. [Aaron Giles]
Created info_xml_creator object to wrap all the info generation
functions in info.c. Converted the file to C++ and cleaned up the
input processing code. [Aaron Giles]
model2.c: Corrected the revision level for Top Skater (USA) set
[The Dumping Union]
Various improvements to the Konami Viper driver [Ville Linde]
midqslvr: Add some hardware information [O. Galibert]
Added reverse-spin support to the stepper motor simulator
[James Wallace]
mpu4.c: Documented MOD 4 OKI program card ROM banking and improved the
BwB characteriser emulation. [James Wallace]
Fixed the I/O address in Intel 8257 DMA operations. [Curt Coder]
Fixes for non-native SDL builds on OS X [Paulo Cabral]
Added "Mandatory artwork is missing" error [Oliver St
Implemented 16-bit device callbacks. [Curt Coder]
Fix loading fonts on MacOSX. [Couriersud]
Delegates 2.0 implementation. Resdesigned how delegates work to make
them more flexible and simpler to use. Got rid of the proto_delegates
altogether in favor of supporting delegates that are bound to NULL
objects. Added a front-end template that supports "natural" syntax
favored by libraries like boost. Added support for static functions
that take reference parameters instead of pointer parameters for the
object type. Updated all delegate users in the system to the new
syntax. [Aaron Giles]
Changed the DIRECT_UPDATE_HANDLER to take a machine reference like
everything else in the system. Updated all users. [Aaron Giles]
Changed the FUNC() macro to automatically put an & in front of the
item passed. In general this works transparently, however it does have
the nice side-effect of catching situations where a variable is passed
instead of a function name. Fixed those cases to push the naming
upstream so that the name is now provided properly. Also added a
FUNC_NULL macro since FUNC(NULL) no longer works. [Aaron Giles]
tms5220.c: partially fixed perfect interpolation hack, disabled by
default. [Lord Nightmare]
segas24: Start untangling the Vogon poetry Atari Ace left is his wake.
Apply the new timing implementation per cgfm's analysis. Gain ground
is going to be stuck in free play mode. [O. Galibert]
tms5220.c: fixed perfect interpolation hack the rest of the way, now
it works as it did before 0.140 or so. [Lord Nightmare]
tms5220.c: improve perfect interpolation hack slightly, should be less
noisy after inhibit frames. [Lord Nightmare]

Devices
IDE / AHCI
Added emulation layer for an ICH-9 AHCI controller (not yet stable). Tested with Linux, OpenBSD, Windows Vista and Windows 7. The AHCI emulation supports NCQ, so multiple read or write requests can be outstanding at the same time.
to use it, use the following command line snippet: -drive id=disk,file=<your image goes here>,if=none -device ahci,id=ahci -device ide-drive,drive=disk,bus=ahci.0
SCSI
Various bug fixes, no new features.
USB
Added USB support for remote wakeup, allowing the guest to suspend the USB bus when idle, which in turn reduces the CPU overhead of an idle machine.
The USB subsystem also got a bunch of patches to prepare it for USB 2.0 support.
virtio
virtio-pci can use ioeventfd for virtqueue notify. On systems that support KVM, the ioeventfd mechanism can be used to make virtqueue notify a lightweight exit by deferring hardware emulation to the iothread and allowing the VM to continue execution. This model is similar to how vhost receives virtqueue notifies. The result of this change is improved performance for userspace virtio devices. Virtio-blk throughput increases especially for multithreaded scenarios and virtio-net transmit throughput increases substantially. Read the commit message for more details.
Various fixes and stabilization for live-migration:
Various virtio-net improvements:
Make tx_timer timeout configurable
Limit number of packets sent per TX flush
Introduce a new bottom half packet TX
Fix cross-endianness support
PCI/PCI Express
Improved PCI Express support and functionalities with the implementation of:
flr (Function Level Reset)
aer (Advanced Error Reporting) and other improvements
A new monitor command to inject errors into the PCI bus: pcie_aer_inject_error
Implementation of Message Signaled Interrupts (MSI/MSI-X) support
Separation of the PCI bridge code from the main PCI code.
Sound
New Intel HD Audio support, adding three new devices:
intel-hda: Intel HD Audio Controller, the PCI device.
hda-duplex: HDA Codec. Attaches to the HDA bus. Supports 16bit stereo, rates 16k -> 96k, playback, recording and volume control (with CONFIG_MIXEMU=y).
hda-output: HDA Codec without recording support. Subset of the hda-duplex codec. Use this if you don't want your guests access your mic.
Usage: add '-device intel-hda -device hda-duplex' to your command line.
Tested guests:
Linux works.
Win7 works.
DOS (mpxplay) works.
WinXP doesn't work.
Real Time Clock
Fix binary/BCD mode switch
Video
Fix cirrus VGA crash with some guests
Fix curses big endian support
Block Drivers
qcow2
Added a writeback metadata cache. This improves performance of scenarios with lots of cluster allocations noticably (e.g. installation or after taking a snapshot), in some benchmarks by a factor of ten or more. Use cache=none or cache=writeback to take advantage from this change.
Copy snapshots out of QCOW2 disk, eg: qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O qcow2 -s snapshot_name src_img bck_img
Zero-copy read and write operations
Other fixes and code cleanups:
qcow2: Invalidate cache after failed read
block: Allow bdrv_flush to return errors
qcow2: Simplify image creation
qcow2: Fixes unaligned access on IA64
qed
Introduction of the QEMU Enhanced Disk (qed) image format. It is a disk image format that forgoes features found in qcow2 in favor of better levels of performance and data integrity. Due to its simpler on-disk layout, it is possible to safely perform metadata updates more efficiently.
More information about qed: http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/QED
Initial thread discussion: http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2010-09/msg00310.html
ceph/rbd
Introduction of the new ceph/rbd block driver. RBD is an block driver for the distributed file system Ceph.
More information about ceph: http://ceph.newdream.net/
nbd
Improve qemu-nbd performance by 4400 %. This patch combines the reply header and payload send operation.
Introduce NBD named exports.
Spice
New support for the SPICE protocol. The project main focus is to provide high-quality remote access to QEMU virtual machines. More information about SPICE can be found at the project's web site: http://spice-space.org/
New qxl device. qxl is a paravirtual graphics card. The qxl device is the bridge between the guest and the spice server (aka libspice-server). The spice server will send the rendering commands to the spice client, which will actually render them. The spice server is also able to render locally, which is done in case the guest wants read something from video memory. Local rendering is also used to support display over vnc and sdl. qxl is activated using -vga qxl. qxl supports multihead, additional cards can be added via '-device qxl.
Relevant commits:
spice: core bits
spice: add keyboard
spice: add mouse
spice: simple display
spice: add tablet support
spice: tls support
spice: make compression configurable.
spice: add config options for channel security.
spice: add config options for the listening address
spice: add misc config options
spice: add audio
spice: add qxl device
spice: connection events.
QMP / monitor
TODO: QMP is now stable, except for error reporting?
The work to facilitate the management of QEMU instances has been improved. QMP has received various fixes. Now it is possible to call a traditional monitor command through QMP, in case your application depends on the output or the command is not yet ported to QMP.
New commands:
query-spice / info spice
human-monitor-command
set_password
drive_del
block_resize command, allowing resizing of block devices while qemu is running. For virtio-blk the size is updated automatically when this command is issued on the host. IDE is not supported. For SCSI devices the new size can be updated in Linux guests by doing the following shell command:
echo > /sys/class/scsi_device/0:0:0:0/device/rescan
Tracing
Introduction of platform-independent tracing, more information about it: http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/Tracing
Documentation and tutorial: http://git.qemu.org/qemu.git/plain/docs/tracing.txt

Other stuff
Extend -option-rom command to have additional parameter bootindex
Little endian / big endian MMIO framework. Until now, most devices had special hacks to allow them to work on big and little endian systems (ppc / x86). With that framework, they should mostly work with both and not require and device specific hacks anymore.
