General
 | 
			
		||||
-------
 | 
			
		||||
- [ls][dw][lr] report broken (aligned) BadVAddr
 | 
			
		||||
- Unimplemented ASEs:
 | 
			
		||||
  - MIPS16
 | 
			
		||||
  - MDMX
 | 
			
		||||
  - SmartMIPS
 | 
			
		||||
  - DSP r1
 | 
			
		||||
  - DSP r2
 | 
			
		||||
- MT ASE only partially implemented and not functional
 | 
			
		||||
- Shadow register support only partially implemented,
 | 
			
		||||
  lacks set switching on interrupt/exception.
 | 
			
		||||
- 34K ITC not implemented.
 | 
			
		||||
- A general lack of documentation, especially for technical internals.
 | 
			
		||||
  Existing documentation is x86-centric.
 | 
			
		||||
- Reverse endianness bit not implemented
 | 
			
		||||
- The TLB emulation is very inefficient:
 | 
			
		||||
  Qemu's softmmu implements a x86-style MMU, with separate entries
 | 
			
		||||
  for read/write/execute, a TLB index which is just a modulo of the
 | 
			
		||||
  virtual address, and a set of TLBs for each user/kernel/supervisor
 | 
			
		||||
  MMU mode.
 | 
			
		||||
  MIPS has a single entry for read/write/execute and only one MMU mode.
 | 
			
		||||
  But it is fully associative with randomized entry indices, and uses
 | 
			
		||||
  up to 256 ASID tags as additional matching criterion (which roughly
 | 
			
		||||
  equates to 256 MMU modes). It also has a global flag which causes
 | 
			
		||||
  entries to match regardless of ASID.
 | 
			
		||||
  To cope with these differences, Qemu currently flushes the TLB at
 | 
			
		||||
  each ASID change. Using the MMU modes to implement ASIDs hinges on
 | 
			
		||||
  implementing the global bit efficiently.
