When fetching from the microcode ROM, if the PC is set so that it isn't in the
cache block that's been fetched the CPU will get stuck. The fetch stage
notices that it's in the ROM so it doesn't try to fetch from the current PC.
It then later notices that it's outside of the current cache block so it skips
generating instructions expecting to continue once the right bytes have been
fetched. This change lets the fetch stage attempt to generate instructions,
and only checks if the bytes it's going to use are valid if it's really going
to use them.

Currently, functions associated with a controller go into separate files.
This patch puts all the functions in the controller's .cc file. This should
hopefully take away some time from compilation.
|
|
The patch on Ruby functional accesses made changes to the process of
instantiating controllers and sequencers. The DMA controller and
sequencer was not updated, hence this patch.
|
|
|
|
The dma controller in configs/ruby/MI_example.py was not being set correctly.
This patch fixes it.

remove this regression till the fix for the hwrei instruction is put in

Prefetch requests issued from the L2 or below wouldn't check if valid data is
present higher in the system. If a prefetch into the L2 occured at the same
time as writeback from a higher-level cache the dirty data could be replaced
in by unmodified data in memory.

Implemented a pipeline activity viewer as a python script (util/o3-pipeview.py)
and modified O3 code base to support an extra trace flag (O3PipeView) for
generating traces to be used as inputs by the tool.

SWP and SWPB now throw an undefined instruction exception if
SCTLR.SW == 0. This also required the MIDR to be changed
slightly so programs can correctly determine that gem5 supports
the ARM v7 behavior of SWP/SWPB (in ARM v6, SWP/SWPB were
deprecated, but not disabled at CPU startup).
|
|
Adds MISCREG_ID_MMFR2 and removes break on access to MISCREG_CLIDR. Both
registers now return values that are consistent with current ARM
implementations.

This patch implements the copyRegs() function for the x86 architecture.
The patch assumes that no side effects other than TLB invalidation need
to be considered while copying the registers. This may not hold true in
future.

Branch predictor could not predict a branch in a nested loop because:
1. The global history was not updated after a mispredict squash.
2. The global history was updated in the fetch stage. The choice predictors
that were updated used the changed global history. This is incorrect, as
it incorporates the state of global history after the branch in
encountered. Fixed update to choice predictor using the global history
state before the branch happened.
3. The global predictor table was also updated using the global history state
before the branch happened as above.
Additionally, parameters to initialize ctr and history size were reversed.

Fixed up the patch from Yasuko Watanabe that enabled pipelining of fetch accessess to
icache to work with recent changes to main repository.
Also added in ability for fetch stage to delay issuing the fault carrying
nop when a pipeline fetch causes a fault and no fetch bandwidth is available
until the next cycle.

Missing "!" made multiprocessor interrupts operate incorrectly.

change hwrei back to being a non-control instruction so O3-FS mode will work
add squash in inorder that will catch a hwrei (or any other genric instruction)
that isnt a control inst but changes the PC. Additional testing still needs to be done
for inorder-FS mode but this change will free O3 development back up in the interim

All protocols must specify their name
The include statement allows any file to include another file.
|
|
|
|
This makes it possible to use the grammar multiple times and use the multiple
instances concurrently. This makes implementing an include statement as part
of a grammar possible.

This change simplifies the code surrounding operand type handling and makes it
depend only on the ctype that goes with each operand type. Future changes will
allow defining operand types by their ctypes directly, convert the ISAs over
to that style of definition, and then remove support for the old style. These
changes are to make it easier to use non-builtin types like classes or
structures as the type for operands.

Addition of functional access support to Ruby necessitated some changes to
the way coherence protocols are written. I had forgotten to update the
Network_test protocol. This patch makes those updates.

readBytes and writeBytes had the word "bytes" in their names because they
accessed blobs of bytes. This distinguished them from the read and write
functions which handled higher level data types. Because those functions don't
exist any more, this change renames readBytes and writeBytes to more general
names, readMem and writeMem, which reflect the fact that they are how you read
and write memory. This also makes their names more consistent with the
register reading/writing functions, although those are still read and set for
some reason.

If a fault was returned by the CPU when a store initiated it's write, the
store instruction would ignore the fault. This change fixes that.
|
|
The previous commit on functional access support in Ruby did not have
some of the files required. This patch adds those files to the repository.
|
|
This patch updates the regression outputs for Ruby memtest. This was
required because of the changes carried out by the addition of functional
access support to Ruby.
|
|
This patch removes unnecessary slashes from a couple of python scripts.
|
|
This patch rpovides functional access support in Ruby. Currently only
the M5Port of RubyPort supports functional accesses. The support for
functional through the PioPort will be added as a separate patch.
|
|
The patch corrects the print statement which prints the current and
the next pc. Instead of the next upc, the next pc was being printed.

the -/+ signs were flipped for nmsub_s, nmsub_d, and nmadd_d
