In case any of you still use psim, I uncovered two more bugs (sorry if
these are repeats) ...
The first concerns the allocation of Open Firmware's htab. The bug
exposes itself when you simulate with lots of memory, causing psim to
complain that the htab location is incompatible with the htabmask. The
code calculates an incorrect htabmask. In file gdb/sim/ppc/hw_htab.c,
function htab_decode_hash_table(), look for:
if ((htab_ra & INSERTED32(*htabmask, 7, 15)) != 0) {
device_error(parent, "htaborg 0x%lx not aligned to htabmask
0x%lx",
(unsigned long)*htaborg, (unsigned long)*htabmask);
}
And change to:
if ((htab_ra & (htab_nr_bytes-1)) != 0) {
device_error(parent, "htaborg 0x%lx not aligned to htabmask
0x%lx",
(unsigned long)*htaborg, (unsigned long)*htabmask);
}
After fixing this problem, it is no longer necessary to manually
configure OpenFirmware's layout in memory.
The second bug also concerns the emulated Open Firmware. The client
interface function "nextprop" never returns the first property. In the
file gdb/sim/ppc/emul_chirp.c, in chirp_emul_nextprop(), look for the
statement:
next_prop = device_next_property(prev_prop);
And change to:
if( *previous == '\0' )
next_prop = prev_prop; /* Return the first property! */
else
next_prop = device_next_property(prev_prop);
