2016-04-07mem: Add priority to QueuedPrefetcherRekai Gonzalez Alberquilla
Queued prefetcher entries now count with a priority field. The idea is to add packets ordered by priority and then by age. For the existing algorithms in which priority doesn't make sense, it is set to 0 for all deferred packets in the queue.
2016-04-07mem: Handful extra features for BasePrefetcherRekai Gonzalez Alberquilla
Some common functionality added to the base prefetcher, mainly dealing with extracting the block address, page address, block index inside the page and some other information that can be inferred from the block address. This is used for some prefetching algorithms, and having the methods in the base, as well as the block size and other information is the sensible way.

2015-05-27mem: Add unused prefetch counter in cachesRekai Gonzalez Alberquilla
Added stat to the cache to account for HardPF'ed blocks that are evicted before being referenced (over-prefetching).
2016-04-07mem: Remove threadId from memory request classMitch Hayenga
In general, the ThreadID parameter is unnecessary in the memory system as the ContextID is what is used for the purposes of locks/wakeups. Since we allocate sequential ContextIDs for each thread on MT-enabled CPUs, ThreadID is unnecessary as the CPUs can identify the requesting thread through sideband info (SenderState / LSQ entries) or ContextID offset from the base ContextID for a cpu. This is a re-spin of 20264eb after the revert (bd1c6789) and includes some fixes of that commit.
2016-04-05cpu: Implement per-thread GHRsMitch Hayenga
Branch predictors that use GHRs should index them on a per-thread basis. This makes that so. This is a re-spin of fb51231 after the revert (bd1c6789).
2016-04-05cpu: Add an indirect branch target predictorMitch Hayenga
This patch adds a configurable indirect branch predictor that can be indexed by a combination of GHR and path history hashes. Implements the functionality described in: "Target prediction for indirect jumps" by Chang, Hao, and Patt http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=264209 This is a re-spin of fb9d142 after the revert (bd1c6789).
2016-04-05cpu: Fix BTB threading oversightMitch Hayenga
The extant BTB code doesn't hash on the thread id but does check the thread id for 'btb hits'. This results in 1-thread of a multi-threaded workload taking a BTB entry, and all other threads missing for the same branch missing.
2016-04-06misc: Bail out of DVFS dot if we cannot resolve the domainsSascha Bischoff
This changeset updates the dot output to bail out if it is unable to resolve the voltage or clock domains (which will cause it to raise an AttributeError). Additionally, the DVFS dot output is disabled by default for speed purposes. Minor fixup for 0aeca8f.

2016-04-05power: Add support for power modelsDavid Guillen Fandos
This patch adds some basic support for power models in gem5. The power interface is defined so it can interact with thermal models as well. It implements a simple power evaluator that can be used for simple power models that express power in the form of a math expression. These expressions can use stats within the same SimObject (or down its hierarchy) and some magic variables such as "temp" for temperature. In future patches we will extend this functionality to allow slightly more complex expressions. The model allows it to be extended to use other kinds of models. Finally, the thermal model is updated to use the power usage as input.
2014-12-09power: Low-power idle power state for idle CPUsAkash Bagdia
Add functionality to the BaseCPU that will put the entire CPU into a low-power idle state whenever all threads in it are idle.
2014-11-18power: Add power states to ClockedObjectAkash Bagdia
Add 4 power states to the ClockedObject, provides necessary access functions to check and update the power state. Default power state is UNDEFINED, it is responsibility of the respective simulation model to provide the startup state and any other logic for state change. Add number of transition stat. Add distribution of time spent in clock gated state. Add power state residency stat. Add dump call back function to allow stats update of distribution and residency stats.
2015-05-13sim: Thermal support for LinuxDavid Guillen Fandos
This patch enables Linux to read the temperature using hwmon infrastructure. In order to use this in your gem5 you need to compile the kernel using the following configs: CONFIG_HWMON=y CONFIG_SENSORS_VEXPRESS=y And a proper dts file (containing an entry such as): dcc { compatible = "arm,vexpress,config-bus"; arm,vexpress,config-bridge = <&v2m_sysreg>; temp@0 { compatible = "arm,vexpress-temp"; arm,vexpress-sysreg,func = <4 0>; label = "DCC"; }; };
2015-05-12sim: Adding thermal model supportDavid Guillen Fandos
This patch adds basic thermal support to gem5. It models energy dissipation through a circuital equivalent, which allows us to use RC networks. This lays down the basic infrastructure to do so, but it does not "work" due to the lack of power models. For now some hardcoded number is used as a PoC. The solver is embedded in the patch.
2016-04-05cpu: Add instruction opclass histogram to minorMitch Hayenga
2015-12-15misc: Add secondary dot output for DVFS domainsSascha Bischoff
This patch adds a secondary dot output file which shows the DVFS domains. This has been done separately for now to avoid cluttering the already existing diagram. Due to the way that the clock domains are assigned to components in gem5, this output must be generated after the C++ objects have been instantiated. This further motivates the need to generate this file separately to the current dot output, and not to replace it entirely.
2015-12-11sim: Add additional debug information when drainingSascha Bischoff
This patch adds some additional information when draining the system which allows the user to debug which SimObject(s) in the system is failing to drain. Only enabled for the builds with tracing enabled and is subject to the Drain debug flag being set at runtime.
2016-04-01sim: Fix clock_domain unserializationSascha Bischoff
This patch addresses an issue with the unserialization of clock domains. Previously, the previous performance level was not restored due to a bug in the code, which detected the post-unserialize update as superfluous. This patch splits the setting of the clock domain into two parts. The original interface of perfLevel is retained, but the actual update takes place in signalPerfLevelUpdate, which is private to the class. The perfLevel method checks that if the new performance level is different to the previous performance level, and will only call signalPerfLevelUpdate if there is a change. Therefore, the performance level is only updated, and voltage domains notified, if there is an actual change. The split functionality allows signalPerfLevelUpdate to be called by startup() to explicitly force an update post unserialization.
2016-04-05cpu: Query CPU for inst executed from PythonGeoffrey Blake
This patch adds the ability for the simulator to query the number of instructions a CPU has executed so far per hw-thread. This can be used to enable more flexible periodic events such as taking checkpoints starting 1s into simulation and X instructions thereafter.
2016-04-01syscall_emul: remove mmapFlagTableSteve Reinhardt
After all this it turns out we don't even use it.
2016-04-01syscall_emul: factor out flag tables into common fileSteve Reinhardt
The openFlagTable and mmapFlagTables for emulated Linux platforms are basically identical, but are specified repetitively for every platform. Use a common file that gets included for each platform so that we only have one copy, making them more consistent and simplifying changes (like adding #ifdefs). In the process, made some minor fixes that slipped through due to previous inconsistencies, and added more #ifdefs to try to fix building on alternative hosts.

2016-03-30style: Add a style checker that doesn't depend on MercurialAndreas Sandberg
The current style checker script, hgstyle.py, assumes that it is being run from Mercurial. This means that it depends on the Mercurial Python libraries, which aren't necessarily present if using git. This changeset adds a new style checker script, style.py, that has been designed to be run from the command line. The script has support for detecting which revision control system is used and is able to query both git and Mercurial for changes. This enables the script to operate on modified regions and/or all of the modified files in the repository.

2016-03-17base: add symbol support for dynamic librariesBrandon Potter
Libraries are loaded into the process address space using the mmap system call. Conveniently, this happens to be a good time to update the process symbol table with the library's incoming symbols so we handle the table update from within the system call. This works just like an application's normal symbols. The only difference between a dynamic library and a main executable is when the symbol table update occurs. The symbol table update for an executable happens at program load time and is finished before the process ever begins executing. Since dynamic linking happens at runtime, the symbol loading happens after the library is first loaded into the process address space. The library binary is examined at this time for a symbol section and that section is parsed for symbol types with specific bindings (global, local, weak). Subsequently, these symbols are added to the table and are available for use by gem5 for things like trace generation. Checkpointing should work just as it did previously. The address space (and therefore the library) will be recorded and the symbol table will be entirely recorded. (It's not possible to do anything clever like checkpoint a program and then load the program back with different libraries with LD_LIBRARY_PATH, because the library becomes part of the address space after being loaded.)
