  This document is the preliminary draft of a manual to help people
  understand the inner workings of dosemu.  It is the goal of this
  document to create new dosemu hackers.  This concept was inspired by
  the linux kernel hackers guide.

  This Guide was concieved and originally written by "Corey Sweeney"
  <corey@interaccess.com>. It has been completely revised. It is now
  generated automatically directly from the source code. Special thanks
  to "James B. MacLean" <macleajb@ednet.ns.ca> for supplying the
  original information. (It was mostly ripped out of a mail message.)
  "Jochen Hein" has made many useful comments & suggestions.

  At the end if this document is a section detailing how this guide is
  put together. This may help you when trying to locate the relevant
  pieces of code. If you add new code, it would be useful if the
  relevant markers are added where appropriate.

  This file is a collective effort. If you don't like one of the
  explanations, or want to add anything, please send me something!





  22..  TThhee MMaaiinn ggrroouupp ooff MMoodduulleess

  These files are used to start DOSEMU as well as hold globally called
  functions and global vars.





  22..11..  ddooss..cc IInnffoorrmmaattiioonn

  Initial program executed to run DOSEMU. Gets access to libdosemu and
  sets international character parms. Finally calls entry point of
  DOSEMU emulate() function which is loaded above the usual DOS memory
  area from 0 - 1meg. Emulate() is in emu.c.


  22..22..  FFuunnccttiioonnss iinn ddooss..cc

  These are the functions defined in dos.c.


  22..22..11..  ddoosseemmuu



  Arguments are:

  +o  argc - Count of argumnents.

  +o  argc - Actual arguments.

     Function created by entry point into libdosemu. Called to jump into
     the emulate function of DOSEMU.





  22..33..  eemmuu..cc IInnffoorrmmaattiioonn

  Here is where DOSEMU gets booted. From emu.c external calls are made
  to the specific I/O systems (video/keyboard/serial/etc...) to
  initialize them. Memory is cleared/set up and the boot sector is read
  from the boot drive. Many SIGNALS are set so that DOSEMU can exploit
  things like timers, I/O signals, illegal instructions, etc... When
  every system gives the green light, vm86() is called to switch into
  vm86 mode and start executing i86 code.

  The vm86() function will return to DOSEMU when certain `exceptions`
  occur as when some interrupt instructions occur (0xcd).

  The top level function emulate() is called from dos.c by way of a dll
  entry point.


  22..44..  FFuunnccttiioonnss iinn eemmuu..cc

  These are the functions defined in emu.c.


  22..44..11..  jjmmpp__eemmuullaattee


  call the emulate function by way of the dll headers. Always make sure
  that this line is the first of emu.c and link emu.o as the first
  object file to the lib








  22..44..22..  SSIIGG__iinntt


  The IRQ numbers to monitor are taken from config.sillyint, each bit
  corresponding to one IRQ. The higher 16 bit are defining the use of
  SIGIO





  22..44..33..  eemmuullaattee



  Arguments are:

  +o  argc - Argument count.

  +o  argv - Arguments.

     Emulate gets called from dos.c. It initializes DOSEMU to prepare it
     for running in vm86 mode. This involves catching signals, preparing
     memory, calling all the initialization functions for the I/O
     subsystems (video/serial/etc...), getting the boot sector
     instructions and calling vm86().





  22..55..  RReemmaarrkkss iinn eemmuu..cc

  DOSEMU must not work within the 1 meg DOS limit, so start of code is
  loaded at a higher address, at some time this could conflict with
  other shared libs. If DOSEMU is compiled statically (without shared
  libs), and org instruction is used to provide the jump above 1 meg.

     All signals that wish to be handled properly in context with the
     execution of vm86() mode, and signals that wish to use non-
     reentrant functions should add themselves to the
     ADDSET_SIGNALS_THAT_QUEUE define and use SETQSIG(). To that end
     they will also need to be set up in an order such as SIGIO.

  The `vm86_struct` is used to pass all the necessary status/registers
  to DOSEMU when running in vm86 mode.

  -----

  We assume system call restarting... under linux 0.99pl8 and earlier,
  this was the default.  SA_RESTART was defined in 0.99pl8 to explicitly
  request restarting (and thus does nothing).  However, if this ever
  changes, I want to be safe

  -----

  DOSEMU keeps system wide configuration status in a structure called
  config.

  -----

  The var `fatalerr` can be given a true value at any time to have
  DOSEMU exit on the next return from vm86 mode.

  -----

  The var 'running_DosC' is set by the DosC kernel and is used to handle
  some things differently, e.g. the redirector.  It interfaces via
  INTe6,0xDC (DOS_HELPER_DOSC), but only if running_DosC is !=0. At the
  very startup DosC issues a INTe6,0xdcDC to set running_DosC with the
  contents of BX (which is the internal DosC version).

     This part is fairly flexible...you specify the debugging flags you
     wish with -D string.  The string consists of the following
     characters: +   turns the following options on (initial state) -
     turns the following options off a   turns all the options on/off,

     is most verbose) #   where # is a letter from the valid option list
     (see docs), turns that option off/on depending on the +/- state.

  Any option letter can occur in any place.  Even meaningless
  combinations, such as "01-a-1+0vk" will be parsed without error, so be
  careful. Some options are set by default, some are clear. This is
  subject to my whim.  You can ensure which are set by explicitly

  We are caching ldt here for speed reasons and for Windows 3.1.  I
  would love to have an readonly ldt-alias (located in the first 16MByte
  for use with 16-Bit descriptors (WIN-LDT)). This is on my wish list
  for the kernel hackers (Linus mainly) :-))))))).


  -----

  DPMI is designed such that the stack change needs a task switch.  We
  are doing it via an SIGSEGV - instead of one task switch we have now
  four :-(.  Arrgh this is the point where I should start to include
  DPMI stuff in the kernel, but then we could include the rest of dosemu
  too.  Would Linus love this? I don't :-((((.  Anyway I would love to
  see first a working DPMI port, maybe we will later (with version 0.9
  or similar :-)) start with it to get a really fast dos
  emulator...............

  NOTE: Using DIRECT_DPMI_CONTEXT_SWITCH we avoid these 4  taskswitches
  actually doing 0. We don't need a 'physical' taskswitch (not having
  different TSS for us and DPMI), we only need a complete register
  (context) replacement. For back-switching, however, we need the
  sigcontext technique, so we build a proper sigcontext structure even
  for 'hand made taskswitch'. (Hans Lermen, June 1996)

  dpmi_control is called only from dpmi_run when in_dpmi_dos_int==0


  -----

  Hopefully the below LAR can serve as a replacement for the KERNEL_LDT,
  which we are abandoning now. Especially the 'accessed-bit' will get
  updated in the ldt-cache with the code below.  Most DPMI-clients
  fortunately _are_ using LAR also to get this info, however, some do
  not. Some of those which do _not_, atleast use the DPMI-GetDescriptor
  function, so this may solve the problem.  (Hans Lermen, July 1996)

  -----

  Handling of the virtual interrupt flag is still not correct and there
  are many open questions since DPMI specifications are unclear in this
  point.  An example: If IF=1 in protected mode and real mode code is
  called which is disabling interrupts via cli and returning to
  protected mode, is IF then still one or zero?  I guess I have to think
  a lot about this and to write a small dpmi client running under a
  commercial dpmi server :-).

  -----

  Here we handle all prefixes prior switching to the appropriate
  routines The exception CS:EIP will point to the first prefix that
  effects the the faulting instruction, hence, 0x65 0x66 is same as 0x66
  0x65.  So we collect all prefixes and remember them.  - Hans Lermen

  Here the sleeping lion will be awoken and eat much of CPU time !!!

  The result of setting VM86_SCREEN_BITMAP (at state of Linux 1.1.56):
  Each vm86 call will set 32 pages of video mem RD-only (there may be
  1000000 per second) Write access to RD-only page results in page-fault
  (mm/memory.c), which will set a bit in current->screen_bitmap and
  calls do_wp_page() which does __get_free_page(GFP_KERNEL) but frees it
  immediatly, because copy-on-write is not neccessary and sets RD/WR for
  the page.  (this could happen 32000000 per second, if the CPU were
  fast enough) It would be better to get the DIRTY-bit directly from the
  page table, isn't it?  A special syscall in emumodule could do this.

  These are the functions defined in env/video/vgaemu.c.


  55..99..11..  VVGGAA__eemmuullaattee__oouuttbb


  Emulates writes to VGA ports.  This is a hardware emulation function.


  Arguments are:

  +o  port  - The port being written to.

  +o  value - The value written,



  55..99..22..  VVGGAA__eemmuullaattee__iinnbb


  Emulates reads from VGA ports.  This is a hardware emulation function.


  Arguments are:

  +o  port  - The port being read from.



  55..99..33..  vvggaa__eemmuu__ffaauulltt


  vga_emu_fault() is used to catch video access, and handle it.  This
  function is called from arch/linux/async/sigsegv.c::dosemu_fault1().
  The sigcontext_struct is defined in include/cpu.h.  Now it catches
  only changes in a 4K page, but maybe it is useful to catch each video
  access. The problem when you do that is, you have to simulate each
  instruction which could write to the video memory.  It is easy to get
  the place where the exception happens (scp->cr2), but what are those
  changes?  An other problem is, it could eat a lot of time, but it does
  now also.


  Arguments are:

  +o  scp - A pointer to a struct sigcontext_struct holding some relevant
     data.



  55..99..44..  vvggaa__eemmuu__iinniitt


  vga_emu_init() must be called before using the VGAEmu functions.  It
  is only called from env/video/X.c::X_init() at the moment.  This
  function basically initializes the global variable `vga' and allocates
  the VGA memory.

  It does in particular *not* map any memory into the range 0xa0000 -
  0xc0000, this is done as part of a VGA mode switch.

  There should be an accompanying vga_emu_done().


  Arguments are:

  +o  vedt - Pointer to struct describing the type of display we are
     actually

  +o  attached to.



  55..99..55..  vvggaa__eemmuu__uuppddaattee


  vga_emu_update() scans the VGA memory for dirty (= written to since
  last update) pages and returns the changed area in *veut. See the
  definition of vga_emu_update_type in env/video/vgaemu_inside.h for
  details.

  You will need to call this function repeatedly until it returns 0 to
  grab all changes. You can specify an upper limit for the size of the
  area that will be returned using `veut->max_max_len' and
  `veut->max_len'.  See the example in env/video/X.c how this works.

  If the return value of vga_emu_update() is >= 0, it is the number of
  changed pages, -1 means there are still changed pages but the maximum
  update chunk size (`veut->max_max_len') was exceeded.

  This function does in its current form not work for Hercules modes; it
  does, however work for text modes, although this feature is currently
  not used.


  Arguments are:

  +o  veut - A pointer to a vga_emu_update_type object holding all
     relevant info.



  55..99..66..  vvggaa__eemmuu__sswwiittcchh__bbaannkk


  vga_emu_switch_bank() is used to emulate video-bankswitching.

  This function returns True on success and False on error, usually
  indicating an invalid bank number.


  Arguments are:

  +o  bank - The bank to switch to.



  55..99..77..  vvggaa__eemmuu__ffiinndd__mmooddee


  Searches a video mode with the requested mode number.

  The search starts with the mode *after* the mode `vmi' points to.  If
  `vmi' == NULL, starts at the beginning of the internal mode table.
  `mode' may be a standard VGA mode number (0 ... 0x7f) or a VESA mode
  number (>= 0x100). The mode number may have its don't-clear-bit (bit 7
  or bit 15) or its use-lfb-bit (bit 14) set.  The special mode number
  -1 will match any mode and may be used to scan through the whole
  table.

  Returns NULL if no mode was found and a pointer into the mode table
  otherwise. The returned pointer is a suitable argument for subsequent
  calls to this function.

  You should (and can) access the mode table only through this function.


  Arguments are:

  +o  mode   - video mode.

  +o  vmi    - pointer into internal mode list



  55..99..88..  vvggaa__eemmuu__sseettmmooddee


  Set a video mode.

  Switches to `mode' with text sizes `width' and `height' or (if no such
  mode was found) at least `width' and `height'.


  Arguments are:

  +o  mode   - The new video mode.

  +o  width  - Number of text columns.

  +o  height - Number of text rows.



  55..99..99..  ddiirrttyy__aallll__vviiddeeoo__ppaaggeess

  Set visible text page.

  `vga.display_start' is set to `page' * `page_size'.  This function
  works only in text modes.


  Arguments are:

  +o  page      - Number of the text page.

  +o  page_size - Size of one text page.

  55..1111..11..  vvbbee__iinniitt


  Initializes the VGA/VBE BIOS and the VBE support.


  Arguments are:

  +o  vedt - Pointer to struct describing the type of display we are
     actually

  +o  attached to.



  55..1111..22..  vveessaa__eemmuu__ffaauulltt


  vesa_emu_fault() is used to handle video ROM accesses.  This function
  is called from env/video/vgaemu.c:vga_emu_fault().  The
  sigcontext_struct is defined in include/cpu.h It just jumps over the
  instruction (LWORD (eip) += instr-len) which caused the write
  exception to the video ROM. It is needed for some dirty programs that
  try to write to a ROM (dos=high,umb seems to do this, but not on all
  PC's). We're sure now, nobody can write to the ROM and we don't crash
  on it, just ignore as it should be!


  Arguments are:

  +o  scp - A pointer to a struct sigcontext_struct holding some relevant
     data.



  55..1111..33..  ddoo__vveessaa__iinntt


  This is the VESA interrupt handler.

  It is called from base/bios/int10.c::int10(). The VESA interrupt is
  called with 0x4f in AH and the function number (0x00 ... 0x10) in AL.

  The VGA/VESA BIOS for VGAEmu.

  This is what DOS applications see as their video BIOS. It will be
  mapped at 0xc000:0x0000 and typically be less than one page in size.
  This video BIOS is write-protected, write accesses to this memory are
  emulated by vesa_emu_fault() in env/video/vesa.c.

  It doesn't have much functionality, just stores the VESA mode table
  and the protected mode interface necessary for VESA BIOS Extension
  (VBE) support.

  Note that some parts of the video BIOS are added by vbe_init() in
  env/video/vesa.c.

  The protected mode code for the VESA BIOS Extensions.

  We define some functions here that are required to support the VBE 2.0
  protected mode interface.

  The whole code _must_ be fully relocatable. It will be copied into the
  video BIOS during VBE initialization (cf. vbe_init()).

  figure out. Something is writing to one of the following ports: 0x3b4,
  0x3b5, 0x3b8, 0x3b9, 0x3ba, 0x3bb, 0x3bf.  The problem occurs at (at

  - AMD 386DX40, Trident 9000/512Kb ISA, Hercules Graphics Card Plus -
  Intel 486DX2/66, Cirrus Logic 5426/1Mb VLB, Hercules clone

     actually

  +o  attached to.

  vga_emu_update() scans the VGA memory for dirty (= written to since
  last update) pages and returns the changed area in *veut. See the
  definition of vga_emu_update_type in env/video/vgaemu_inside.h for
  details.

  You will need to call this function repeatedly until it returns 0 to
  grab all changes. You can specify an upper limit for the size of the
  area that will be returned using `veut->max_max_len' and
  `veut->max_len'.  See the example in env/video/X.c how this works.

  If the return value of vga_emu_update() is >= 0, it is the number of
  changed pages, -1 means there are still changed pages but the maximum
  update chunk size (`veut->max_max_len') was exceeded.

  This function does in its current form not work for Hercules modes; it
  does, however work for text modes, although this feature is currently
  not used.


  Arguments are:

  +o  veut - A pointer to a vga_emu_update_type object holding all
     relevant info.

  vga_emu_switch_bank() is used to emulate video-bankswitching.

  This function returns True on success and False on error, usually
  indicating an invalid bank number.


  Arguments are:

  Searches a video mode with the requested mode number.

  The search starts with the mode *after* the mode `vmi' points to.  If
  `vmi' == NULL, starts at the beginning of the internal mode table.
  `mode' may be a standard VGA mode number (0 ... 0x7f) or a VESA mode
  number (>= 0x100). The mode number may have its don't-clear-bit (bit 7
  or bit 15) or its use-lfb-bit (bit 14) set.  The special mode number
  -1 will match any mode and may be used to scan through the whole
  table.

  Returns NULL if no mode was found and a pointer into the mode table
  otherwise. The returned pointer is a suitable argument for subsequent
  calls to this function.

  You should (and can) access the mode table only through this function.


  Arguments are:

  +o  mode   - video mode.

  +o  vmi    - pointer into internal mode list

  Switches to `mode' with text sizes `width' and `height' or (if no such
  mode was found) at least `width' and `height'.


  Arguments are:

  This module contains the the translation part of the keyboard
  'server', which translates keysyms into the form in which they can be
  sent do DOS.

  The frontends will call one of the following functions to send
  keyboard events to DOS:



       putrawkey(t_rawkeycode code);
       putkey(Boolean make, t_keysym key)
       set_shiftstate(t_shiftstate s);



  Interface to serv_backend.c is through write_queue(bios_key, shift,
  raw).

  66..44..11..  ppuuttrraawwkkeeyy


  This function sends a raw keycode byte, e.g. read directly from the
  hardware, to DOS. It is both queued for the port60h emulation and
  processed for the BIOS keyboard buffer, using the national translation
  tables etc.

  For DOS applications using int16h we will therefore not have to load
  KEYB.EXE, others (e.g. games) need their own drivers anyway.

  This function is used if we are at the console and
  config.rawkeyboard=on.
  66..44..22..  ppuuttkkeeyy


  This does all the work of sending a key event to DOS.  scan  - the
  keycode, one of the KEY_ constants from new-kbd.h make  - TRUE for key
  press, FALSE for release ascii - the key's ascii value, or 0 for none.

  Applications using int16h will always see the ASCII code passed here
  independently of the scancode, so no character translation
  needs/should be done. As DOS expects characters in IBM Extended ASCII,
  the keyboard clients may have to do ISO->IBM character translation or
  similar!

  An emulated hardware scancode is also sent to port60h.

  Note that you have to send both MAKE (press) and BREAK (release)
  events.  If no BREAK codes are available (e.g. terminal mode), send
  them immediately after the MAKE codes.  Also, shift keys should be
  sent (with ascii = 0).





  66..44..33..  sseett__sshhiiffttssttaattee


  This simply sets the keyboard server's shift state.

  USE WITH CAUTION: this changes the keyboard flags without generating
  the appropriate shift key make/break codes that normally come along
  with such changes. This function is mostly intended for start-up
  shiftstate synchronisation.

  Note also that you can't simply write to the shiftstate variable
  instead of using this function.

  This module handles interfacing to the DOS side both on int9/port60h
  level (if keybint=on), or on the bios buffer level.  Keycodes are
  buffered in a queue, which, however, has limited depth, so it
  shouldn't be used for pasting.

  This provides the EMM Memory Management for DOSEMU. It was originally
  part of the Mach Dos Emulator.

  Recent work in this area has involved a patch to the Kernel. If this
  is used and the DEFINE MMAP_EMS line used, a faster form of EMS memory
  support is included, using the /proc filesystem.

  In contrast to some of the comments (Yes, _I_ know the adage about
  that...)  we appear to be supporting EMS 4.0, not 3.2.  The following
  EMS 4.0 functions are not supported (yet): 0x4f (partial page map
  functions), 0x55 (map pages and jump), and 0x56 (map pages and call).
  OS handle support is missing, and raw page size is 16k (instead of
  4k).  Other than that, EMS 4.0 support appears complete.

  we trap this for two functions: simulating the EMMXXXX0 device and
  fudging the CONFIG.XXX and AUTOEXEC.XXX bootup files.

  note that the emulation herein may cause problems with programs that
  like to take control of certain int 21h functions, or that change
  functions that the true int 21h functions use.  An example of the
  latter is ANSI.SYS, which changes int 10h, and int 21h uses int 10h.
  for the moment, ANSI.SYS won't work anyway, so it's no problem.

  This function runs the specified caller function in response to an int
  instruction.  Where i is the interrupt function to execute and
  from_int specifies if we are comming directly from an int instruction.

  This function runs the instruction with the following model _CS:_IP is
  the address to start executing at after the caller function
  terminates, and _EFLAGS are the flags to use after termination.  For
  the simple case of an int instruction this is easy.  _CS:_IP =
  retCS:retIP and _FLAGS = retFLAGS as well equally the current values
  (retIP = curIP +2 technically).

  However if the function is called (from dos) by simulating an int
  instruction (something that is common with chained interrupt vectors)
  _CS:_IP = BIOS_SEG:HLT_OFF(i) and _FLAGS = curFLAGS while retCS,
  retIP, and retFlags are on the stack.  These I pop and place in the
  appropriate registers.

  This functions actions certainly correct for functions executing an
  int/iret discipline.  And almost certianly correct for functions
  executing an int/retf#2 discipline (with flag changes), as an iret is
  always possilbe.  However functions like dos int 0x25 and 0x26
  executing with a int/retf will not be handled correctlty by this
  function and if you need to handle them inside dosemu use a halt
  handler instead.

  Finally there is a possible trouble spot lurking in this code.
  Interrupts are only implicitly disabled when it calls the caller
  function, so if for some reason the main loop would be entered before
  the caller function returns wrong code may execute if the retFLAGS
  have interrupts enabled!

  This is only a real handicap for sequences of dosemu code execute for
  long periods of time as we try to improve timer response and prevent
  signal queue overflows! -- EB 10 March 1997

  Grumble do to code that executes before interrupts, and the semantics
  of default_interupt, I can't implement this function as I would like.
  In the tricky case of being called from dos by simulating an int
  instruction, I must leave retCS, retIP, on the stack.  But I can
  safely read retFlags so I do.  I pop retCS, and retIP just before
  returning to dos, as well as dropping the stack slot  that held
  retFlags.

  This improves consistency of interrupt handling, but not quite as much
  as if I could handle it the way I would like.  -- EB 30 Nov 1997

  Some video BIOSes need access to the PIT timer 2, and some (e.g.
  Matrox) directly read the timer output on port 0x61.  If we don't
  allow video port access, this will be totally emulated; else, we give
  temporary access to the needed ports (timer at 0x42, timer config at
  0x43 and timer out/speaker at 0x61), provided they were not previously
  enabled by SPKR_NATIVE - AV

  -----


  Many video BIOSes use hi interrupt vector locations as scratchpad area
  - this is because they come before DOS and feel safe to do it. But we
  are initializing vectors before video, so this only causes trouble. I
  assume no video BIOS will ever: - change vectors < 0xe0 (0:380-0:3ff
  area) - change anything in the vector area _after_ installation - AV

  This is the timer emulation for DOSEMU.  It emulates the Programmable
  Interval Timer (PIT), and also handles IRQ0 interrupt events.  A lot
  of animation and video game software are dependant on this module for
  high frequency timer interrupts (IRQ0).

  This code will actually generate 18.2 DOS interrupts/second (the code
  here itself will be triggered about 100 times per second). It will
  even happily attempt to generate faster clocks, right up to the point
  where it chokes.  Since the absolute best case timing we can get out
  of Linux is 100Hz, figure that anything approaching or exceeding that
  isn't going to work well.  (The code will attempt to generate up to
  10Khz interrupts per second at the moment.  Too bad that would
  probably overflow all internal queues really fast. :)

  Speaker emulation, now including port 61h, is also in here. [rz]

  do_sound handles the _emulated_ mode pc-speaker emulation.

  As far as I can determine all cases of the pc-speaker are now
  emulated.  But I am not sure where Rainer Zimmerman got his
  (pit[2].mode == 2) || (pit[2].mode == 3) test in the original
  implementation, it doesn't seem to cause problems though.

  The implementation of speaker_on & speaker_off can be found in
  src/base/speaker.c

  Major Changes from version written by Rainter Zimmerman.

  o Added support for programs that control the directly through bit 1
  of port61.

  o Added a generic interface to allow multiple speaker backends.

  o Implemented X speaker code so the emulated speaker now works in X.

  This is experimental TIMER-IRQ CHAIN code!  This is a function to
  determine whether it is time to invoke a new timer irq 0 event.
  Normally it is 18 times a second, but many video games set it to 100
  times per second or more.  Since the kernel cannot keep an accurate
  timer interrupt, the job of this routine is to perform a chained timer
  irq 0 right after the previous timer irq 0.  This routine should,
  ideally, be called right after the end of a timer irq, if possible.

  This would speed up high frequency timer interrupts if this code can
  be converted into an assembly macro equivalent!

  PLEASE NOTE

  This code has been replaced by interrupt scheduling code in pic.  The
  result is that we simply call pic_sched and run the dos interrupt.  If
  the new code causes no problems, I'll revise this section permanently.

  The pc-speaker emulator for Dosemu.

  This file contains functions to make a pc speaker beep for dosemu.

  Actuall emulation is done in src/base/dev/misc/timers.c in do_sound.

  Currenly emulation is only done when the new keyboard is enabled but
  with a little extra work it should be possible to enable it for the
  old keyboard code if necessary.

  For parts of dosemu that want to beep the pc-speaker (say the video
  bios) #include "speaker.h" Use 'speaker_on(ms, period)' to turn the
  pc-speaker on for 'ms' milliseconds with period 'period'.  The
  function returns immediately.

  Use 'speaker_off()' To turn the pc-speaker definentily off.  This is
  mostly useful when exiting the program to ensure you aren't killy
  someones ears :)

  given.  No mixing happens.

  For code that wants to implement speaker emulation.  The recommeded
  method is to add a file in src/base/speaker with the necessary code.
  Declare it's methods in speaker.h (or somewhere accessible to your
  code).  And call

  when your speaker code is ready to function.

  gp may be any void pointer value.

  gp is passed as the first argument to the functions arguments 'on' and
  'off' when global functions 'speaker_on' and 'speaker_off' are called.
  This allows important state information to be passed to the functions.
  And reduces reliance on global variables.

  The functions 'on' and 'off' besides the extra parameter are called
  just as the global functions 'speaker_on' and 'speaker_off' are called
  respectively.

  Before the registered function is no longer valid call to it's default
  speaker functions, which will always work.

  This file contains a simple system for passing information through to
  DOSEMU from the Linux side. It does not allow dynamic message passing,
  but it intended to provide useful information for the DOS user.

  As such, the current set of implemented commands are : GET_USER_ENVVAR
  and GET_COMMAND

  These are made available to the DOSEMU by using the DOS_HELPER
  interrupt (Currently 0xE6) and writing a string into a location passed
  to this interrupt handler using the registers. In the case of
  GET_USER_ENVVAR the string also contains the name of the environment
  variable to interrogate.  (The string is overwritten with the reply).

   drivers/aspi.c - emulate the DOS ASPI programming interface using
                      the Linux generic SCSI driver (/dev/sg?)
   basic aspi code shamelessly stolen from the wine
   project aspi.c written by  Bruce Milner <Bruce.Milner@genetics.utah.edu>

   hacked by         Karl Kiniger <ki@kretz.co.at>
   further hacked by Hans Lermen <lermen@dosemu.org>

   For now there are several limitations I am aware of:

   - Residual byte length reporting not handled
   - Only Linux supported so far
   - SG_BIG_BUFF may need to be adjusted and the sg driver therefore be recompiled
   - No posting routine possible - reentrancy needed for posting, since the
     posting routine may call ASPI services
   - Blocking read/write to/from /dev/sg? used
   - Too few sense bytes returned (16 instead of 18). This is a limitiation
       from the sg driver.
   - SCSI timeout may need to be increased - formatting a DAT tape may take some time
       set to 5 minutes for now.
   - 'Direction' table very incomplete (see below)
   - Debug output not well organized/formatted
   - no access control for now
   - Look at the various FIXME's
   - all hostadapters are mapped to _one_ single seen by DOS,
     but the targetID can be mapped differently.
   - LUNs have to be equal for real and DOS seen ones, because we
     don't translate the LUNs in the CDB.

  This is the code that allows and disallows port access within DOSEMU.
  The BOCHS port IO code was actually very cleverly done.  So the idea
  was stolen from there.

  This port I/O code (previously in portss.c, from Scott Bucholz) is
  based on a table access instead of a switch statement. This method is
  much more clean and easy to maintain, while not slower than a switch.

  Remains of the old code are emerging here and there, they will
  hopefully be moved back to where they belong, mainly video code.

  The following port_{in|out}{bwd} functions are the main entry points
  to the port code. They look into the port_handle_table and call the
  appropriate code, usually the std_port_ functions, but each device is
  free to register its own functions which in turn will call std_port or
  directly access I/O (like video code does), or emulate it - AV

  optimized versions for rep - basically we avoid changing privileges
  and iopl on and off lots of times. We are safe letting iopl=3 here
  since we don't exit from this code until finished.  This code is
  shared between VM86 and DPMI.


  -----

  find out whether the port address request is available; this way, try
  to deny uncoordinated access

  If it is not listed in /proc/ioports, register them (we need some
  syscall to do so bo 960609)...  (we have a module to do so AV 970813)
  if it is registered, we need the name of a device to open if we can't
  open it, we disallow access to that port

  -----

  We need to check if our required port range is in use by some device.
  So we look into proc/ioports to check the addresses. Fine, but at this
  point we must supply a device name ourselves, and we can't check from
  here if it's the right one. The device is then open and left open
  until dosemu ends; for the rest, in the original code the device
  wasn't used, just locked, and only then port access was granted.

  Here is where DOSEMU runs VM86 mode with the vm86() call which also
  has the registers that it will be called with. It will stop vm86 mode
  for many reasons, like trying to execute an interrupt, doing port I/O
  to ports not opened for I/O, etc ...

  In a properly functioning emulator :-), sigsegv's will never come
  while in a non-reentrant system call (ioctl, select, etc).  Therefore,
  there's really no reason to worry about them, so I say that I'm NOT in
  a signal handler (I might make this a little clearer later, to show
  that the purpose of in_sighandler is to stop non-reentrant system
  calls from being reentered.  I reiterate: sigsegv's should only happen
  when I'm running the vm86 system call, so I really shouldn't be in a
  non-reentrant system call (except maybe vm86) - Robert Sanders

  Here we handle all prefixes prior switching to the appropriate
  routines The exception CS:EIP will point to the first prefix that
  effects the faulting instruction, hence, 0x65 0x66 is same as 0x66
  0x65.  So we collect all prefixes and remember them.  - Hans Lermen

  At the heart of the timing system in dosemu >= 0.67.11 is the
  availability of the system time as a 64-bit [type hitimer_t] monoton
  value.  (a 64-bit timer on a 200MHz CPU increments by 2^48 a day).
  Dosemu needs this time under two resolutions:


     - a MICROSECOND resolution for general timing purposes
     - a TICK(838ns) resolution for PIT


  On non-pentium machines, only the first one is available via the ker-
  nel call gettimeofday(). On the pentium and up, the situation is bet-
  ter since we have a cheap hi-res timer on-chip, and worse since this
  timer runs at a speed depending from the CPU clock (which we need to
  know/measure, and could be not 100% accurate esp. if the speed is a
  non-integer multiple of 33.3333).

  dosemu >= 0.67.11 can use both timing methods (call them 486 and
  pentium), and switch between them in a dynamic way when configuring.

  At the first level (local to the file cputime.c) there are the RAW
  timer functions, addressed by RAWcpuTIME(). These get the actual
  absolute CPU time in usecs.

  At the second level, GETcpuTIME() returns the relative, zero-based
  system time. This is where the 486/pentium switch happens.

  The third level is the actual timer interface for dosemu and is made
  of two functions:


    - GETusTIME(s)   gives the time in usecs
    - GETtickTIME(s) gives the time in ticks


  The 's' parameter can be used to control secondary time functions like
  'time stretching' (see the READMEs).  The function GETusSYSTIME()
  never activates this stretching, and is used only by the realtime
  thread-based 1-sec timer in rtc.c.

  All timing are RELATIVE to a base. The use of a based time allows us
  to play more freely with time, e.g. stop and restart it during
  debugging, stretch it, make it go at different speeds between real-
  time and CPU emulation, etc. The base has been chosen to be zero,
  because it will avoid overflows in calculations, produce more readable
  and more easily comparable debug log files, and also because only
  int0x1a and BIOS timer require knowledge of the actual time, PIT and
  PIC are not sensitive.

  IMPORTANT INFO about com[] variable array structure used in serial.c

  Most of the serial variables are stored in the com[] array.  The com[]
  array is a structure in itself.   Take a look at the about this.  Only
  the most commonly referenced global variables are listed here:

  config.num_ser         Number of serial ports active.
  com[x].base_port       The base port address of emulated serial port.
  com[x].real_comport    The COM port number.  com[x].interrupt
  The PIC interrupt level (based on IRQ number) com[x].mouse
  Flag  mouse (to enable extended features) com[x].fd              File
  descriptor for port device com[x].dev[]           Filename of port
  port device com[x].dev_locked      Flag whether device has been locked

  The arbritary example variable 'x' in com[x] can have a minimum value
  of 0 and a maximum value of (config.numser - 1).  There can be no gaps
  for the value 'x', even though gaps between actual COM ports are
  permitted.  It is strongly noted that the 'x' does not equal the COM
  port number.  This example code illustrates the fact, and how the
  com[] array works:

  for (i = 0; i < config.numser; i++) s_printf("COM port number %d has a
  base address of %x", com[i].real_comport, com[i].base_port);

  This function is the serial interrupts scheduler.  Its purpose is to
  update interrupt status and/or invoke a requested serial interrupt.
  If interrupts are not enabled, the Interrupt Identification Register
  is still updated and the function returns.  See pic_serial_run() below
  it is executed right at the instant the interrupt is actually invoked.

  Since it is not possible to run the interrupt on the spot, it triggers
  the interrupt via the pic_request() function (which is in pic.c) and
  sets a flag that an interrupt is going to be occur soon.

  Please read pic_serial_run() for more information about interrupts.
  [num = port, int_requested = the requested serial interrupt]






  99..1100..22..  ppiicc__sseerriiaall__rruunn


  This function is called by the priority iunterrupt controller when a
  serial interrupt occurs.  It executes the highest priority serial
  interrupt for that port. (Priority order is: RLSI, RDI, THRI, MSI)

  Because it is theoretically possible for things to change between the
  interrupt trigger and the actual interrupt, some checks must be
  repeated.





  99..1100..33..  sseerriiaall__rruunn


  This is the main housekeeping function, which should be called about
  20 to 100 times per second.  The more frequent, the better, up to a
  certain point.   However, it should be self-compensating if it
  executes 10 times or even 1000 times per second.   Serial performance
  increases with frequency of execution of serial_run.

  Serial mouse performance becomes more smooth if the time between calls
  to serial_run are smaller.

  I have not properly tested this INT74 - JES 96/10/20 I have removed
  it.  INT74 is irq 12.  Which I suppose is the proper irq for a ps2
  mouse.  It appears initial support was planned to support irq 12 and
  at Mouse_ROUTINE_OFF is a routine that acknowledges an irq.  That
  routine is probably what should be acknowledging irq12, and what int
  0x74 should point to.  I have disabled int0x74 support for now. --EB

  Whoever wrote the dos mouse driver spec was brain dead...  For some
  video modes the mouse driver appears to randomly pick a shift factor,
  possibly to keep at least a 640x200 resolution.

  The general programming documentation doesn't make this clear.  And
  says that in text modes it is safe to divide the resolution by 8 to
  get the coordinates in characters.

  The only safe way to handle the mouse driver is to call function 0x26
  Get max x & max y coordinates and scale whatever the driver returns
  yourself.

  To handle programs written by programmers who weren't so cautious a
  doctrine of least suprise has been implemented.

  As much as possible do the same as a standard dos mouse driver in the
  original vga modes 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,13,14,15,16,17,18,19.

  For other text modes allow the divide by 8 technique to work.  For
  other graphics modes return x & y in screen coordinates.  Except when
  those modes are either 40x?? or 320x???  and then handle the x
  resolution as in 40x25 and 320x200 modes.

  320x200 modes are slightly controversial as I have indications that
  not all mouse drivers do the same thing. So I have taken the simplest,
  and most common route, which is also long standing dosemu practice of
  always shifting by 1.

  pic.c is a fairly complete emulation of both 8259 Priority Interrupt
  Controllers.  It also includes provision for 16 lower level
  interrupts.  This implementation supports the following i/o commands:



        ICW1    bits 0 and 1     number of ICWs to expect
        ICW2    bits 3 - 7       base address of IRQs
        ICW3    no bits          accepted but ignored
        ICW4    no bits          accepted but ignored

        OCW1    all bits         sets interrupt mask
        OCW2    bits 7,5-0       EOI commands only
        OCW3    bits 0,1,5,6     select read register,
                                 select special mask mode

       Reads of both pic ports are supported completely.



  An important concept to understand in pic is the interrupt level.
  This is a value which represents the priority of the current
  interrupt.  It is used to identify interrupts, and IRQs can be mapped
  to these levels(see pic.h ). The currently active interrupt level is
  maintained in pic_ilevel, which is globally available,   A pic_ilevel
  of 32 means no interrupts are active; 0, the highest priority,
  represents the NMI.  IRQs 0 through 15 are mapped, in priority order,
  to values of 1-15 (there is no IRQ2 in an AT). Values of 16 - 31
  represent additional interrupt levels available for internal dosemu
  usage.


  More detail is available in the file README.pic

  Debug information:

  A debug flag of +r or 1r will generate debug messages concerning reads
  and writes to pic ports.  Many of these messages are not yet
  implemented.  A debug flag of 2r will generate messages concerning
  activation, nesting, and completion of interrupts.  A flag of -r or 0r
  will turn off debugging messages.  Flags may be combined: to get both
  1r and 2r, use a value of 3r.

  This is the pic debug message printer.  It writes out some basic
  information, followed by an informative message.  The basic
  information consists of: interrupt nesting counter change flag (+, -,
  or blank) interrupt nesting count (pic_icount) interrupt level change
  flag (+, -, or blank) current interrupt level interrupt in-service
  register interrupt mask register interrupt request register message
  part one decimal data value message part two

  If the message part 2 pointer is a null pointer, then only message
  part one (without the data value) is printed.

  The change flags are there to facilitate grepping for changes in
  pic_ilevel and pic_icount

  To avoid line wrap, the first seven values are printed without labels.
  Instead, a header line is printed every 15 messages.

  write_pic_0() and write_pic1() implement dos writes to the pic ports.
  They are called by the code that emulates inb and outb instructions.
  Each function implements both ports for the pic:  pic0 is on ports
  0x20 and 0x21; pic1 is on ports 0xa0 and 0xa1.  These functions take

  read_pic0 and read_pic1 return the values for the interrupt mask
  register (port 1), or either the in service register or interrupt
  request register, as determined by the last OCW3 command (port 0).
  These functions take a single parameter, which is a port number (0 or
  1).  They are called by code that emulates the inb instruction.

  The pic maintains an additional interrupt mask which is not visible to
  the DOS process.  This is normally cleared (enabling an interrupt)
  when an interrupt is initialized, but dosemu code may choose to use
  this mask internally.  One possible use is to implement the interrupt
  gate controlled by the OUT2 bit of the 16550A UART's Modem Control
  Register.  This mask is cleared by pic_unmaski() and set by
  pic_maski()





  1122..22..55..  ppiicc__sseettii


  pic_seti is used to initialize an interrupt for dosemu.  It requires
  three parameters.  The first parameter is the interrupt level, which
  man select the NMI, any of the IRQs, or any of the 16 extra levels (16
  - 31).  The second parameter is the dosemu function to be called when
  the interrupt is activated.  This function should call do_irq() if the
  DOS interruptis really to be activated.  If there is no special dosemu
  code to call, the second parameter can specify do_irq(), but see that
  description for some special considerations.





  1122..22..66..  rruunn__iirrqqss


  run_irqs, which is initiated via the macro pic_run, is the "brains" of
  the pic.  It is called from the vm86() loop, checks for the highest
  priority interrupt requested, and executes it.  This function is
  written in assembly language in order to take advantage of atomic
  (indivisible) instructions, so that it should be safe for a two
  process model, even in a multiple CPU machine.  A c language version
  was started, but it became impossible, even with in-line assembly
  macros, because such macros can only return a single result.  If I
  find a way to do it in c, I will, but don't hold your breath.





  1122..22..77..  ddoo__iirrqq


  do_irq() calls the correct do_int().  It then executes a vm86 loop
  until an outb( end-of-interrupt) is found.  For priority levels 0 and
  >15 (not real IRQs), vm86 executes once, then returns, since no outb20
  will come.  Returns: 0 = complete, 1 = interrupt not run because it
  directly calls our "bios"   See run_timer_tick() in timer.c for an
  example To assure notification when the irq completes, we push flags,
  ip, and cs here and fake cs:ip to PIC_[SEG,OFF], where there is a hlt.
  This makes the irq generate a sigsegv, which calls pic_iret when it
  completes.  pic_iret then pops the real cs:ip from the stack.  This
  routine is RE-ENTRANT - it calls run_irqs, which may call an interrupt
  routine, which may call do_irq().  Be Careful!  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  No
  single interrupt is ever re-entered.

  1122..22..88..  ppiicc__rreeqquueesstt


  pic_request triggers an interrupt.  There is presently no way to "un-
  trigger" an interrupt.  The interrupt will be initiated the next time
  pic_run is called, unless masked or superceded by a higher priority
  interrupt.  pic_request takes one argument, an interrupt level, which
  specifies the interrupt to be triggered.  If that interrupt is already
  active, the request will be queued until all active interrupts have
  been completed.  The queue is only one request deep for each
  interrupt, so it is the responsibility of the interrupt code to
  retrigger itself if more interrupts are needed.





  1122..22..99..  ppiicc__iirreett


  pic_iret is used to sense that all active interrupts are really
  complete, so that interrupts queued by pic_request can be triggered.
  Interrupts end when they issue an outb 0x20 to the pic, however it is
  not yet safe at that time to retrigger interrupts, since the stack has
  not been restored to its initial state by an iret.  pic_iret is called
  whenever interrupts have been enabled by a popf, sti, or iret.  It
  determines if an iret was the cause by comparing stack contents with
  cs and ip.  If so, it decrements a count of interrupts on the stack
  (set by do_irq()).  If the count is then zero, pic_iret moves all
  queued interrupts to the interrupt request register.  It is possible
  for pic_iret to be fooled by dos code; for this reason active
  interrupts are checked, any queued interrupts that are also active
  will remain queued.  Also, some programs fake an iret, so that it is
  possible for pic_iret to fail.  See pic_watch for the watchdog timer
  that catches and fixes this event.





  1122..22..1100..  ppiicc__wwaattcchh


  pic_watch is a watchdog timer for pending interrupts.  If pic_iret
  somehow fails to activate a pending interrupt request for 2
  consecutive timer ticks, pic_watch will activate them anyway.
  pic_watch is called ONLY by timer_tick, the interval timer signal
  handler, so the two functions will probably be merged.





  1122..22..1111..  ppiicc__ppeennddiinngg

  This function returns a non-zero value if the designated interrupt has
  been requested and is not masked.  In these circumstances, it is
  important for a hardware emulation to return a status which does *not*
  reflect the event(s) which caused the request, until the interrupt
  actually gets processed.  This, in turn, hides the interrupt latency
  of pic from the dos software.

  The single parameter ilevel is the interrupt level (see pic.h) of the
  interrupt of interest.

  If the requested interrupt level is currently active, the returned
  status will depend upon whether the interrupt code has re-requested
  itself.  If no re-request has occurred, a value of false (zero) will
  be returned.




  1122..22..1122..  ppiicc__aaccttiivvaattee


  pic_activate requests any interrupts whose scheduled time has arrived.
  anything after pic_dos_time and before pic_sys_time is activated.
  pic_dos_time is advanced to the earliest time scheduled.




  1122..22..1133..  ppiicc__sscchheedd

  pic_sched schedules an interrupt for activation after a designated
  time interval.  The time measurement is in unis of 1193047/second, (
  or if using MONOTON_MICRO_TIMING in units of PIT_TICK_RATE/second )
  the same rate as the pit counters.  This is convenient for timer
  emulation, but can also be used for pacing other functions, such as
  serial emulation, incoming keystrokes, or video updates.  Some sample
  intervals:

  rate/sec:       5       7.5     11      13.45   15      30      60
  interval:       238608  159072  108459  88702   79536   39768   19884

  rate/sec:       120     180     200     240     360     480     720
  interval:       9942    6628    5965    4971    3314    2485    1657

  rate/sec:       960     1440    1920    2880    3840    5760    11520
  interval:       1243    829     621     414     311     207     103

  pic_sched expects two parameters: an interrupt level and an interval.
  To assure proper repeat scheduling, pic_sched should be called from
  within the interrupt handler for the same interrupt.  The maximum
  interval is 15 minutes (0x3fffffff).

  pic_push,pic_pop

  Pic maintains two stacks of the current interrupt level. an internal
  one is maintained by run_irqs, and is valid whenever the emulator code
  for an interrupt is active.  These functions maintain an external
  stack, which is valid from the time the dos interrupt code is called
  until the code has issued all necessary EOIs.  Because pic will not
  necessarily get control immediately after an EOI, another EOI (for
  another interrupt) could occur.  This external stack is kept strictly
  synchronized with the actions of the dos code to avoid any problems.
  pic_push and pic_pop maintain the external stack.

  The sound code provides emulation of the SB. The actual emulation
  provided depends upon the support available from the kernel sound
  driver. Because this is very OS dependant the driver code itself is
  kept in architecture specifc files under
  src/arch/osname/dosext/sound/. Communication is via a set of interface
  functions and the device independant structures.

  Arguments are:

  +o  port - The I/O port being read from.

     This handles all of the reads for the SB emulation. The value read
     is returned. The value of 0xFF indicates an invalid read. (assumes
     the ports float high when not pulled low by the hardware.)

  Arguments are:

  +o  port - The I/O port being read from.

     This handles all of the reads for the adlib (FM) emulation. The
     value read is returned. The value of 0xFF indicates an invalid
     read. (assumes the ports float high when not pulled low by the
     hardware.)  The FM emulation is not written yet. The current plan
     is to use the midi emulation where available as this is the most
     common use for the FM sound.

  Arguments are:

  +o  port - The I/O port being read from.

     The MPU-401 functionality is primarily provided by 'midid' - a
     standalone program. This makes most of the MPU-401 code simply a
     pass-through driver.





  1133..22..44..  ssbb__iioo__wwrriittee



  Arguments are:

  +o  port - The I/O port being written to.

  +o  value - The value being output.

     This handles the writes for the SB emulation. Very little of the
     processing is performed in this function as it basically consists
     of a very large switch() statement. The processing here is limited
     to trivial (1 line) items and distinguishing between the different
     actions and responses that the different revisions of the SB series
     give.





  1133..22..55..  ssbb__ddsspp__wwrriittee



  Arguments are:

  +o  value - The value being written to the DSP.

     The SB DSP is a complete I/O system in itself controlled via a
     number of data bytes. The number of bytes depends upon the
     function. The function to be executed is determined by the first
     byte.  If there is no existing command then the command is stored.
     This then used in the switch to identify the action to be taken.
     When the command has supplied all of its arguments, or failed, then
     the command storage is cleared. Each DSP function is responsible
     for clearing this itself.  Again, this function relies on other
     functions to do the real work, and apart from storing details of
     the command and parameters is basically a large switch statement.

  The Emulated DMA channels are provided by using files and writes.
