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.

The computation for link utilization was incorrect for the flexible network.
The utilization was being divided twice by the total time.

This patch makes some rather trivial simplifications to the bus in
that it changes the use of BusMasterPort and BusSlavePort pointers to
simply use MasterPort and SlavePort (iterators are also updated
accordingly).
This change is a step towards a future patch that introduces a
separation of the interface and the structural port itself.
|
|
This patch introduces the PortId type, moves the definition of
INVALID_PORT_ID to the Port class, and also gives every port an id to
reflect the fact that each element in a vector port has an
identifier/index.
Previously the bus and Ruby testers (and potentially other users of
the vector ports) added the id field in their port subclasses, and now
this functionality is always present as it is moved to the base class.

This patch changes the guards for the definition of hash functions to
also exclude the int64_t and uint64_t hash functions in the case we
are using the c++0x STL <unordered_map> (and <hash>) or the TR1
version of the same header. Previously the guard only covered the hash
function for strings, but it seems there is also no need to define a
hash for the 64-bit integer types, and this has caused problems with
builds on 32-bit Ubuntu.

It's possible for two page table walks to overlap which will go in the same
place in the TLB's trie. They would land on top of each other, so this change
adds some code which detects if an address already matches an entry and if so
throws away the new one.
|
|
This is to avoid collision with non-generated files.
|
|
We should try to keep this synced with the wiki
(which I also just updated, but which was
previously inconsistent).

trie.hh uses assert, but it wasn't explicitly including cassert.

This way the user gets a nice message instead of a less nice segfault.

Multithreaded programs did not run by just specifying the binary once on the
command line of SE mode.The default mode is multi-programmed mode. Added
check in SE mode to run multi-threaded programs in case only one program is
specified with multiple CPUS. Default mode is still multi-programmed mode.
|
|
Added the options to Options.py for FS mode with backward compatibility. It is
good to provide an option to specify the disk image and the memory size from
command line since a lot of disk images are created to support different
benchmark suites as well as per user needs. Change in program also leads to
change in memory requirements. These options provide the interface to provide
both disk image and memory size from the command line and gives more
flexibility.

Put the { on the same line as the if and put a space between the if and the
open paren. Also, use the # format modifier which puts a 0x in front of hex
values automatically. If the ExtMachInst type isn't integral and actually
prints something more complicated, the # falls away harmlessly and we aren't
left with a phantom 0x followed by a bunch of unrelated text.
|
|
The parameter is _machInst, which is very similar to the member machInst. If
machInst is used to pass the parameter to a lower level constructor, what
really happens is that machInst is set to whatever it already happened to be,
effectively leaving it uninitialized.
|
|
This change also adjusts the TlbEntry class so that it stores the number of
address bits wide a page is rather than its size in bytes. In other words,
instead of storing 4K for a 4K page, it stores 12. 12 is easy to turn into 4K,
but it's a little harder going the other way.
|
|
|
|
This change adds a trie data structure which stores an arbitrary pointer type
based on an address and a number of relevant bits. Then lookups can be done
against the trie where the tree is traversed and the first legitimate match
found is returned.
|

This patch simplifies future patches by changing the pointer type used
in a number of the Ruby testers to use MasterPort instead of using a
derived CpuPort class. There is no reason for using the more
specialised pointers, and there is no longer a need to do any casting.
With the latest changes to the tester, organising ports as readers and
writes, things got a bit more complicated, and the "type" now had to
be removed to be able to fall back to using MasterPort rather than
CpuPort.

This patch simplifies the packet by removing the broadcast flag and
instead more firmly relying on (and enforcing) the semantics of
transactions in the classic memory system, i.e. request packets are
routed from a master to a slave based on the address, and when they
are created they have neither a valid source, nor destination. On
their way to the slave, the request packet is updated with a source
field for all modules that multiplex packets from multiple master
(e.g. a bus). When a request packet is turned into a response packet
(at the final slave), it moves the potentially populated source field
to the destination field, and the response packet is routed through
any multiplexing components back to the master based on the
destination field.
Modules that connect multiplexing components, such as caches and
bridges store any existing source and destination field in the sender
state as a stack (just as before).
The packet constructor is simplified in that there is no longer a need
to pass the Packet::Broadcast as the destination (this was always the
case for the classic memory system). In the case of Ruby, rather than
using the parameter to the constructor we now rely on setDest, as
there is already another three-argument constructor in the packet
class.
In many places where the packet information was printed as part of
DPRINTFs, request packets would be printed with a numeric "dest" that
would always be -1 (Broadcast) and that field is now removed from the
printing.
