Added Asynch I/O and Disk Support for various Disk formats
I’ve always wanted to have the option to have simulated devices behave more naturally with respect to I/O operations. By more naturally I mean that the current simulator model I/O is either polled (for asynchronous things link Muxes and Network), or it is performed in the middle of some instruction execution taking possibly many milliseconds (disk and/or tapes). The existing model creates quite deterministic behavior which helps to debug and understand issues, but it trades off potential instruction execution while performing these I/O operations in between instruction execution. To address this concept (while still retaining the potential advantages of the original model), I’ve designed an Asynch I/O model extension for simh. In order to flesh-out and debug this design, I’ve also refactored several devices to utilize this capability. Please read the attached 0readmeAsynchIO.txt file for concept details about the approach. In order to make disk devices easy to implement (within or without the AsynchIO framework), I’ve created a sim_disk.c library which is modeled on the sim_tape.c library to generalize disk I/O like tape I/O is generalized in sim_tape.c. This sim_disk.c library now provides that natural place to implement support for various disk implementation formats (just like sim_tape support several formats, and one day will be the place to add direct physical tape access). The current sim_disk library provides the framework for direct support of 3 different disk formats: 1) standard simh disk format 2) platform specific physical disk access and 3) platform independent Virtual Disk format. The Virtual Disk format is an implementation of the format described in the ”Microsoft Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) Image Format Specification”. The VHD specification is available for anyone to implement under the "Microsoft Open Specification Promise" described at http://www.microsoft.com/interop/osp/default.mspx. The VHD implementation includes support for: 1) Fixed sized disks 2) Dynamically expanding disks and 3) Differencing Disks. Dynamically expanding disks don’t change their “Virtual Size”, but they don’t consume disk space on the containing storage until the virtual sectors in the disk are actually written to (i.e. an RA81 or RA92 VHD with a VMS installed on it may initially only contain 30+ MB of files, and the resulting VHD will be 30+ MB). The VHD format contains meta data which describes the virtual device. Amongst this meta data is the simh device type which the VHD was originally created as. This metadata is therefore available whenever that VHD is attached to an emulated disk device in the future so the device type & size can be automatically be configured. Sim_disk_attach is used by device emulations to attach a simh/vhd/raw device to a simulated device. The following simh command switches are used by the sim_disk_attach API: -R Attach Read Only. -E Must Exist (if not specified an attempt to create the indicated virtual disk will be attempted). -F Open the indicated disk container in a specific format (default is to autodetect VHD defaulting to simh if the indicated container is not a VHD). -X When creating a VHD, create a fixed sized VHD (vs a Dynamically expanding one). -C Create a VHD and copy its contents from another disk (simh, VHD, or RAW format). -D Create a Differencing VHD (relative to an already existing VHD disk) Examples: sim> show rq RQ, address=20001468-2000146B*, no vector, 4 units RQ0, 159MB, not attached, write enabled, RD54, autosize, SIMH format RQ1, 159MB, not attached, write enabled, RD54, autosize, SIMH format RQ2, 159MB, not attached, write enabled, RD54, autosize, SIMH format RQ3, 409KB, not attached, write enabled, RX50, autosize, SIMH format sim> atta rq0 RA81.vhd sim> show rq0 RQ0, 456MB, attached to RA81.vhd, write enabled, RA81, autosize, VHD format sim> set rq2 ra92 sim> att rq2 -f vhd RA92.vhd RQ2: creating new file sim> sho rq2 RQ2, 1505MB, attached to RA92.vhd, write enabled, RA92, autosize, VHD format sim> ! dir RA92.vhd Volume in drive H is New Volume Volume Serial Number is F8DE-510C Directory of H:\Data 04/14/2011 12:57 PM 5,120 RA92.vhd 1 File(s) 5,120 bytes 0 Dir(s) 3,074,412,544 bytes free sim> atta rq3 -c RA92-1.vhd RA92.vhd sim> atta rq3 -c RA92-1.vhd RA92.vhd RQ3: creating new virtual disk 'RA92-1.vhd' RQ3: Copied 1505MB. 99% complete.
