This patch removes the declaration of doWriteback as there is no
implementation for this member function.
|
|
This patch removes unused commands and attributes from the packet to
avoid any confusion. It is part of an effort to clear up how and where
different commands and attributes are used.

This patch changes the organisation of the JSON output slightly to
make it easier to traverse and use the files. Most importantly, the
hierarchical dictionaries now use keys that correspond to the
attribute names also in the case of VectorParams (used to be
e.f. "cpu0 cpu1"). It also adds the name and the path to each
SimObject directory entry. Before this patch, to get cpu0, you would
have to query dict['system']['cpu0 cpu1'][0] and this could be a dict
with 'cpu0' : { cpu parameters }. Now you use dict['system']['cpu'][0]
and get { cpu parameters } (where one is "name" : "cpu0").
Additionally this patch includes more verbose information about the
ports, specifying their role, and using a JSON array rather than a
concatenated string for the peer.

This patch moves the DMA device to its own set of files, splitting it
from the IO device. There are no behavioural changes associated with
this patch.
The patch also grabs the opportunity to do some very minor tidying up,
including some white space removal and pruning some redundant
parameters.
Besides the immediate benefits of the separation-of-concerns, this
patch also makes upcoming changes more streamlined as it split the
devices that are only slaves and the DMA device that also acts as a
master.

This patch makes the (device) DmaPort non-snooping and removes the
recvSnoop constructor parameter and instead introduces a
SnoopingDmaPort subclass for the ARM table walker.
Functionality is unchanged, as are the stats, and the patch merely
clarifies that the normal DMA ports are not snooping (although they
may issue requests that are snooped by others, as done with PCI, PCIe,
AMBA4 ACE etc).
Currently this port is declared in the ARM table walker as it is not
used anywhere else. If other ports were to have similar behaviour it
could be moved in a future patch.

This patch turns the existing warning into a fatal, as there should
never be any cases where a (non-vector) port is assigned to and then
later connected to something else. If this behaviour is allowed, as it
used to be, there are cases where the wrong number of C++ ports are
created when instantiating objects with VectorPorts (obviously that
could be fixed, but the better approach is to simply not allow it).

The scheduling of the deadlock check event was being done incorrectly as the
clock was not being multiplied, so as to convert the time into ticks. This
patch removes that bug.

This patch moves the ECF and EZF bits to individual registers (ecfBit and
ezfBit) and the CF and OF bits to cfofFlag registers. This is being done
so as to lower the read after write dependencies on the the condition code
register. Ultimately we will have the following registers [ZAPS], [OF],
[CF], [ECF], [EZF] and [DF]. Note that this is only one part of the
solution for lowering the dependencies. The other part will check whether
or not the condition code register needs to be actually read. This would
be done through a separate patch.

Shuffle the 32 bit values into position, and then add in parallel.

If the length argument to mmap is larger than the arbitrary but reasonable
limit of 4GB, there's a good chance that the value is nonsense and not
intentional. Rather than attempting to satisfy the mmap anyway, this change
makes gem5 warn to make it more apparent what's going wrong.

This patch changes a hardcoded index 0 to the appropriate CPU index so
that fastmem is set correctly for all the CPUs in the system.

Raw interrupt was not being set when interrupt was disabled.
This patch sets the raw interrupt regardless of the mask.

0x40000000 is reservered for external AXI addresses. This address
range is not used currently. Removed the range from the bridge.

Revised system visualization to reflect structure and memory hierarchy.
Improved visualization: less congested and cluttered; more colorful.
Nodes reflect components; directed edges reflect dirctional relation, from
a master port to a slave port. Requires pydot.
|
|
Fixed broken code which visualizes the system configuration by generating a
tree from each component's children, starting from root.
Requires DOT (hence pydot).

Symbol tables masked with the loadAddrMask create redundant entries
that could conflict with kernel function events that rely on the
original addresses. This patch guards the creation of those masked
symbol tables by default, with an option to enable them when needed
(for early-stage kernel debugging, etc.)

Track the point in the initialization where statistics have been registered.
After this point registering new masterIds can no longer work as some
SimObjects may have sized stats vectors based on the previous value. If someone
tries to register a masterId after this point the simulator executes fatal().

An older revision of the data sheet specified that txdctl.gran was 1 the granularity was
based on cache block and gran being 0 is based on descriptor count. The newer version of
the data sheet reverses this errata

Lots of accumulated older changes too.

This patch adds a communication monitor MemObject that can be inserted
between a master and slave port to provide a range of statistics about
the communication passing through it. The communication monitor is
non-invasive and does not change any properties or timing of the
packets, with the exception of adding a sender state to be able to
track latency. The statistics are only collected in timing mode (not
atomic) to avoid slowing down any fast forwarding.
An example of the statistics captured by the monitor are: read/write
burst lengths, bandwidth, request-response latency, outstanding
transactions, inter transaction time, transaction count, and address
distribution. The monitor can be used in combination with periodic
resetting and dumping of stats (through schedStatEvent) to study the
behaviour over time.
In future patches, a selection of convenience scripts will be added to
aid in visualising the statistics collected by the monitor.

This patch adds a guarding if-statement to avoid forwarding
uncacheable requests (or rather their corresponding request packets)
to bus snoopers. These packets should never have any effect on the
caches, and thus there is no need to forward them to the snoopers.
|
|
This patch fixes a bug that caused snoop requests to be placed in a
packet queue. Instead, the packet is now sent immediately using
sendTimingSnoopReq, thus bypassing the packet queue and any normal
responses waiting to be sent.

This patch moves send/recvTiming and send/recvTimingSnoop from the
Port base class to the MasterPort and SlavePort, and also splits them
into separate member functions for requests and responses:
send/recvTimingReq, send/recvTimingResp, and send/recvTimingSnoopReq,
send/recvTimingSnoopResp. A master port sends requests and receives
responses, and also receives snoop requests and sends snoop
responses. A slave port has the reciprocal behaviour as it receives
requests and sends responses, and sends snoop requests and receives
snoop responses.
For all MemObjects that have only master ports or slave ports (but not
both), e.g. a CPU, or a PIO device, this patch merely adds more
clarity to what kind of access is taking place. For example, a CPU
port used to call sendTiming, and will now call
sendTimingReq. Similarly, a response previously came back through
recvTiming, which is now recvTimingResp. For the modules that have
both master and slave ports, e.g. the bus, the behaviour was
previously relying on branches based on pkt->isRequest(), and this is
now replaced with a direct call to the apprioriate member function
depending on the type of access. Please note that send/recvRetry is
still shared by all the timing accessors and remains in the Port base
class for now (to maintain the current bus functionality and avoid
changing the statistics of all regressions).
The packet queue is split into a MasterPort and SlavePort version to
facilitate the use of the new timing accessors. All uses of the
PacketQueue are updated accordingly.
With this patch, the type of packet (request or response) is now well
defined for each type of access, and asserts on pkt->isRequest() and
pkt->isResponse() are now moved to the appropriate send member
functions. It is also worth noting that sendTimingSnoopReq no longer
returns a boolean, as the semantics do not alow snoop requests to be
rejected or stalled. All these assumptions are now excplicitly part of
the port interface itself.

The kernel originally used to generate the stats is different from the one
at use on zizzer. This patch updates the stats with the correct kernel in
use.

The disp displacement was left off the load microop so the wrong value was
used.
