the sun2 mainbus signal handler needs to OR together like signals from
the different buses; right now the state of a signal on the mainbus is
just the state of the signal on the last bus that happened to call it
out.  this will cause interrupts to get lost (but because of cooperative
threading, this probably isn't manifesting now).

clean up posix-serial callouts to be like 3c400

is the (brief) extension word handling correct for PC-relative
EAs when there are multiple brief extension words?  (i.e., is
first_ea_extword_offset updated (does it need to be?))

in type 8 frames, we currently store the address as it appeared
on the bus - i.e., only 24 bits, not the full 32.  maybe this is
incorrect?

should tme_m68k_rte_start have more RESTARTING checks?

are the data input buffer and data output buffers being kept in the
right endianness in both the trap frames and in the ic buffers?

watch out for (raw[0] << 4) possibly staying 8-bit and then overflowing
in tme_m68k_insn_buffer_xfer

optimization: have the fast executor only execute an instruction if
there are TME_M68K_INSN_WORDS_MAX * sizeof(tme_uint16_t) bytes
available.  note that this does *not* eliminate the need for the
group0 hook entirely, since while we guarantee that we won't fault on
an instruction fetch, we still might fault on data in
mid-instruction-fetch.  this optimization would however remove a
test and goto in the fast FETCH macros.

sun-sc's slow cycle implementation is broken; it should use the new
bus-device dma support

if a tlb_fill function invalidates previous TLBs, make sure that it
invalidates before it fills (since it may be filling the same
structure it wants to invalidate.)

m68k: lowering the interrupt priority mask below 7 when the external
priority is 7 causes another NMI to be recognized.

TLBs filled for DVMA space for the VME bus shouldn't refer to the
obmem bus fault handler, right?

file a PR against NetBSD/sun3 1.6.x:
sys/arch/sun3/dev/if_ie.c:ie_readframe(), when NBPFILTER == 0, calls
ieget() with NULL for its int *to_bpf argument.  this ultimately
causes a NULL dereference in (the inline expansion of) check_eh() -
witness a "clrl 0" instruction in the compiler output for
ie_readframe().  proper fix is to remove the *to_bpf = 0 in check_eh().

file a PR against NetBSD/sun3:
XXX FIXME - this hack works around a bug in NetBSD/sun3, present
since revision 1.49 of src/sys/arch/sun3/conf/GENERIC (when the
sun3x port was merged into the sun3 port).  in this revision, the
declaration for cgtwo0 changed:

-cgtwo0 at vmes0 addr 0xff400000 level 4 vect 0xA8
+cgtwo0 at vme2 addr 0x400000 ipl 4 vect 0xA8

because the cg2mmap() function in src/sys/arch/sun3/dev/cg2.c
doesn't add the 0xff000000 mask to the configured physical
address (needed because the cgtwo is an A24 device), when Xsun
mmap()s the cgtwo it gets a mapping of physical address 0x400000
in VME space instead of the correct 0xff400000.  the sparc cgtwo
driver gets this right.

- bus: DRQ(x) and DACK(x), with an UNSPEC
- ncr5380: bug where a SCSI callout deferred because of a higher-priority callout isn't put into later_callouts

in ncr5380.c:_tme_ncr5380_bus_tlb_fill(), the structure assignment
of *tlb from *ncr5380->tme_ncr5380_dma_tlb may copy fields partially
and/or out-of-order, such that the subsequent relevance test succeeds
when it should fail?  we should probably test at least the important,
invalidating fields in *ncr5380->tme_ncr5380_dma_tlb instead of the
local *tlb?  XXX actually, ncr5380.c needs to use the new TLB
valid/invalid tests, and be made more thread-safe.

in ncr5380.c:_tme_ncr5380_scsi_cycle(), we test if tme_scsi_dma_in
points to the internal FIFO to determine if the transfer was a read;
however, if the transfer was a write this value may be garbage (under
NDEBUG, it isn't initialized in _tme_ncr5380_callout()) that happens
to match the internal FIFO anyways.

the SCSI DMA structure needs to be expanded to support tme_shared
pointers and bus boundary values, and scsi-bus.c needs to use
tme_memory_bus_read_buffer(), tme_memory_bus_write_buffer() as
appropriate.

need barriers in the m68k read/write/fetch, etc. functions

remove the locks argument from the generic bus-device DMA functions, since
elements are only supposed to have a single mutex (and provide a pointer
to the mutex in the struct tme_bus_device, or maybe have the mutex in the
struct tme_bus_device).

bus-device-auto.sh: keep bus router from device structure in a local,
in case it gets changed during a callout

ncr53c9x: the SS2 esp is really an ESP100A, not an ESP100.

sparc: for long-lived idle types, print address when first detected

sparc: most unimplemented instructions cause NULL dereferences from opcode table

gtk-keyboard.c: some X servers actually *don't* give locking behavior
to the Caps_Lock, Num_Lock, etc., keysyms, and this causes problems.

sun4: FAILURE: SEVAR (60000004) Power-Up, Exp = 00000000, Obs = ffed9000

add [] to all tr character classes, so they work for SysV

sparc: convert tme_sparc_ls_tlb_map from a struct tme_bus_tlb to a new struct type,
since it uses various fields that will disappear in the bus cycle transition.

sparc64 recode: don't assist membar instructions
sparc64 recode: don't redispatch return instructions; instead they
should return a value for the TME_SPARC_IREG_PC_NEXT register, and we
should set pc_advance and reg_guest_pc so PCs won't get updated by the
TME_SPARC_RECODE_INSN_UPDATE_PCS code.  (but what about a return in a
branch delay slot? - just add it to
_tme_sparc_recode_insn_branch_delay_bad())

sparc64 recode: make the %rcc flags thunk only do 64-bit flags (the
32-bit flags shouldn't be needed)

recode: we must document that tme_recode_insns_thunk() REQUIRES that
guest read/write instructions THAT ARE READS have
TME_RECODE_OPERAND_ZERO for tme_recode_insn_operand_src[1] (this frees
tme_recode_insns_thunk() from having to skip _src[1] on a read).
this should be an assert().

tme_bus_tlb_map() - check that addr_offset can be a tme_bus_addr_t,
no matter what tme_bus_addr_t's size.

sparc64 recode: TME_SPARC_RECODE_SRC_HASH_SIZE_ELEMENT assumes
that sizeof(tme_sparc_recode_src_key_t) >= sizeof(tme_recode_thunk_off_t)

sparc64 FPU: the new operations (especially FMOVcc) are always
present, no matter what the architecture.  this exposes us to guests.

x86 recode: stack alignment correct for a read/write assist call on an
x86_64 host?

SUN-ULTRA-1: make the onboard esp0 revision 2, and the onboard
ncr53c9x a variant esp200

sparc64 recode: a redispatch should probably encourage thunk
generation (otherwise, after a wrpsr we'll interpret instructions
until the next branch), something similar to the encouragement
at the end of the sparc-execute.c recode thunk running.

sparc execute: note that the V8 execute_trap ISP description notes
that if a trap is taken preinstruction when annul != 0, the PCs are
just advanced past the annulled instruction when they are saved for
the trap (i.e., in the trap case, the annulled instruction isn't
fetched).  if we put the annulled bit into tme_sparc, we wouldn't have
to force _tme_sparc_instruction_burst_remaining to be at least one
after an annulling branch (if the burst was zero, we'll fetch the
annulled instruction at the beginning of the next burst) and we'll get
better emulation (because a real CPU doesn't fetch an annulled
instruction when the previous instruction traps - but how could this
happen, anyways?  how can you annul an instruction but take a trap
before it's fetched?  maybe that's only possible by a trap for an
interrupt?)

sparc preemptive threading: an std must execute atomically; we must
do one store instead of two.

stp103x: there may be a race on setting TICK.INT_DIS, where you
may still get a tick interrupt afterwards?

make a version of tme_misc_cycles_spin_until() that doesn't
do too many gettimeofday() calls?

sparc64 recode: do we need to address-mask PC in
_tme_sparc_recode_recode()?

sparc64 recode: we should address-mask the PC_next_nexts made
in the assist functions.

sparc32 external: remove the interrupt acknowledge cycle

make tme_sjlj_sleep_yield() and tme_sjlj_cond_sleep_yield() return
immediately if the time to sleep is zero (because otherwise,
tme_sjlj_yield() will think the thread is blocked).

sparc64 recode assist: it's only necessary to set PC_next_next if
the instruction handler might redispatch; are there any assist
types where we know that the handler will not redispatch?

replace some gettimeofday() calls with tme_gettimeofday(),
also with tme_thread_long() as needed.

sunfb bus transition: instead of initializing the completion error,
tme_sunfb_bus_cycle_transition() should poison it and make sure that
the cycle handler defines it *and* the fast cycle types.

sparc execute: check for an external check at the beginning of
tme_sparc_thread():TME_SPARC_MODE_EXECUTION, and truncate the
execution burst if true?

sparc optimization: in tme_sparc${arch}_ls(), push the poisoning of an
unusable TLB entry before the address_map call, into the address_map
functions (and only if they trap).

sparc: in tme_sparc${arch}_ls(), should a TME_SPARC_LSINFO_OP_ATOMIC
start out as TME_BUS_CYCLE_READ?  this would at least make a TLB miss
report the access as a read.  the ultrasparc manual isn't clear if
atomics are always reported in SFSR as writes.

threading: any threading implementation must call tme_thread_long() as
needed, including in its own tme_*_yield() functions as needed.

NetBSD/sparc (>=5.x only?): on some hosts and some debugging setups,
keys will unexpectedly repeat in the guest when large updates are
happening on the text console:
  1. original keypress, starts key repeat callout
  2. user process writes a lot to the console kd device
  3. kd.c:kd_putfb() does splsoftclock() and calls prom_putstr()
  4. while prom_putstr() is running, the key release interrupt
     happens.  since we're at splsoftclock(), the zs soft interrupt
     for the key release is held pending.  (the key repeat callout is
     only cancelled in the soft interrupt path.)
  5. while prom_putstr() is running, the key repeat callout expires.
     since we're at splsoftclock(), the callout is held pending.  it
     is now too late to avoid the key repeating.
  6. prom_putstr() finally finishes.  the key repeat callout is called
     (either before or after the zs soft interrupt, it doesn't matter)
     and repeats the key.
in a non-debugging setup (-DNDEBUG, -DTME_NO_LOG, etc.) the emulator
seems fast enough that prom_putstr() finishes before the key repeat
callout expires, which is why this problem probably won't get fixed.
(before recode, we may have avoided the problem because the emulator
was actually too slow - the key release interrupt could have happened
even before we got to the prom_putstr() point.)
