The default generated binary is now gem5.<type> instead of m5.<type>.
The latter does still work but gem5.<type> will be generated first and
then m5.<type> will be hard linked to it.

The end of the COPYING file was generated with:
% python ./util/find_copyrights.py configs src system tests util
Update -C command line option to spit out COPYING file

In particular, this avoids crashing when you do
an import (like "import pdb") inside a SimObject
subclass definition.

We were getting a spurious warning in the regressions that turned
out to be due to having the wrong value for TGT_MAP_ANONYMOUS for
Power Linux, but in the process of tracking it down I ended up
doing some cleanup of the mmap handling in general.

A significant contributor to the need for adoptOrphanParams()
is the practice of appending to SimObjectVectors which have
already been assigned as children. This practice sidesteps the
assignment operation for those appended SimObjects, which is
where parent/child relationships are typically established.
This patch reworks the config scripts that use append() on
SimObjectVectors, which all happen to be in the x86 system
configuration. At some point in the future, I hope to make
SimObjectVectors immutable (by deriving from tuple rather than
list), at which time this patch will be necessary for correct
operation. For now, it just avoids some of the warning
messages that get printed in adoptOrphanParams().

Re-enabling implicit parenting (see previous patch) causes current
Ruby config scripts to create some strange hierarchies and generate
several warnings. This patch makes three general changes to address
these issues.
1. The order of object creation in the ruby config files makes the L1
caches children of the sequencer rather than the controller; these
config ciles are rewritten to assign the L1 caches to the
controller first.
2. The assignment of the sequencer list to system.ruby.cpu_ruby_ports
causes the sequencers to be children of system.ruby, generating
warnings because they are already parented to their respective
controllers. Changing this attribute to _cpu_ruby_ports fixes this
because the leading underscore means this is now treated as a plain
Python attribute rather than a child assignment. As a result, the
configuration hierarchy changes such that, e.g.,
system.ruby.cpu_ruby_ports0 becomes system.l1_cntrl0.sequencer.
3. In the topology classes, the routers become children of some random
internal link node rather than direct children of the topology.
The topology classes are rewritten to assign the routers to the
topology object first.

Last summer's big rewrite of the initialization code (in
particular cset 6efc3672733b) got rid of the implicit parenting
that used to occur when an unparented SimObject was assigned as
a parameter value to another SimObject. The idea was that the
new adoptOrphanParams() step would catch these anyway so it was
unnecessary.
Unfortunately it turns out that adoptOrphanParams() has some
inherent instability in that the parent that does the adoption
depends on the config tree traversal order. Even making this
order deterministic (e.g., by traversing children in
alphabetical order) can introduce unwanted and unexpected
hierarchy changes between similar configs (e.g., when adding a
switch_cpu in place of a cpu), causing problems when trying to
restore checkpoints across similar configs. The hierarchy
created by implicit parenting is more stable and more
controllable, so this patch turns that behavior back on.
This patch also cleans up some long-standing holes regarding
parenting of SimObjects that are created in class definitions
(either in the body of the class, or as default parameters).
To avoid breaking some existing config files, this necessitated
changing the error on reparenting children to a warning. This
change fixes another bug where attempting to print the prior
error message would fail on reparenting SimObjectVectors
because they lack a _parent attribute. Some further issues
with SimObjectVectors were cleaned up by getting rid of the
get_parent() call (which could cause errors with some
SimObjectVectors where there was no single parent to return)
with has_parent() (since all the uses of get_parent() were just
boolean tests anyway).
Finally, since the adoptOrphanParam() step turned out to be so
problematic, we now issue a warning when it actually has to do
an adoption. Future cleanup of config files will get rid of
current warnings.

Also got rid of unused C++ unserializeAll() method
(this is now handled in Python)

Changed the --variants option to --test-variants and added a new
--compile-variants option for variants that are only compiled
(not tested). The former still defaults to 'opt' and the latter
defaults to 'debug,fast'.
Also changed the behavior when no tests are specified from just
compiling to running the 'quick' tests.
As a result, a plain 'util/regress' invocation will now compile
(but not test) the debug and fast builds, and compile and run the
quick regressions on the opt build. This should be the default
set of tests that are run before committing. Since the nightly
regressions use this same script, this will also be the new
nightly regression behavior.
Test-only regressions can still be done by setting --compile=''.
Compile-only regressions can be done by setting --test=''.

Calculation of offset to copy from storeQueue[idx].data structure for load to
store forwarding fixed to be difference in bytes between store and load virtual
addresses. Previous method would induce bug where a load would index into
buffer at the wrong location.
|
|
If a split load fails on a blocked cache wbOutstanding can be decremented
twice if the first part of the split load succeeds and the second part fails.
Condition the decrementing on not having completed the first part of the load.

This patch fixes two problems with the O3 cpu model. The first is an issue
with an instruction fetch causing a fault on the next address while the
current macro-op is being issued. This happens when the micro-ops exceed
the fetch bandwdith and then on the next cycle the fetch stage attempts
to issue a request to the next line while it still has micro-ops to issue
if the next line faults a fault is attached to a micro-op in the currently
executing macro-op rather than a "nop" from the next instruction block.
This leads to an instruction incorrectly faulting when on fetch when
it had no reason to fault.
A similar problem occurs with interrupts. When an interrupt occurs the
fetch stage nominally stops issuing instructions immediately. This is incorrect
in the case of a macro-op as the current location might not be interruptable.

The virtual channels within "response" vnets are made buffers_per_data_vc
deep (default=4), while virtual channels within other vnets are made
buffers_per_ctrl_vc deep (default = 1). This is for accurate power estimates.

A recent patch broke the ruby network tester by adding -p inside Options.py
which conflicts with the -p inside ruby_network_test.py.
Have removed -p from ruby_network_test.py
|
|
maxinsts & max_inst redundant
prog_intvl and profile seem redundant, but profile looks to be unused
add -p option for progress intervals
|
|
Forgot to add this to MI_example in my previous patch.

Identifying response vnets versus other vnets will allow garnet to
determine which vnets will carry data packets, and which will carry
ctrl packets, and use appropriate buffer sizes (since data packets are larger
than ctrl packets). This in turn allows the orion power model to accurately
estimate buffer power.
|
|
Renamed (message) class to vnet for consistency with rest of ruby.
Moved some parameters specific to fixed/flexible garnet networks into their
corresponding py files.

This change further eliminates cases where condition codes were being read
just so they could be written without change because the instruction in
question was supposed to preserve them. This is done by creating the condition
code code based on the input rather than just doing a simple substitution.
|
|
If one of the condition codes isn't being used in the execution we should only
read it if the instruction might be dependent on it. With the preeceding changes
there are several more cases where we should dynamically pick instead of assuming
as we did before.
|
|
Break up the condition code bits into NZ, C, V registers. These are individually
written and this removes some incorrect dependencies between instructions.
|
|
Move the saturating bit (which is also saturating) from the renamed register
that holds the flags to the CPSR miscreg and adds a allows setting it in a
similar way to the FP saturating registers. This removes a dependency in
instructions that don't write, but need to preserve the Q bit.
|
|
This change splits out the condcodes from being one monolithic register
into three blocks that are updated independently. This allows CPUs
to not have to do RMW operations on the flags registers for instructions
that don't write all flags.
|
|
Debug flags are ExecUser, ExecKernel, and ExecAsid. ExecUser and
ExecKernel are set by default when Exec is specified. Use minus
sign with ExecUser or ExecKernel to remove user or kernel tracing
respectively.
|
|
Add registers and components to better support the VersatileEB board.
Made the MIDR and SYS_ID register parameters to ArmSystem and RealviewCtrl
respectively.

Instructions that load an address and are control instructions can
execute down the wrong path if they were predicted correctly and then
instructions following them are squashed. If an instruction is a
memory and control op use the predicted address for the next PC instead
of just advancing the PC. Without this change NPC is used for the next
instruction, but predPC is used to verify that the branch was successful
so the wrong path is silently executed.
|

we can add it back within python in some future changeset

Build a python list and dict of all stats and expose flags properly.
--HG--
rename : src/python/m5/stats.py => src/python/m5/stats/__init__.py

The network tester terminates after injecting for sim_cycles
(default=1000), instead of having to explicitly pass --maxticks from the
command line as before. If fixed_pkts is enabled, the tester only
injects maxpackets number of packets, else it keeps injecting till sim_cycles.
The tester also works with zero command line arguments now.

The options trace-help and trace-flags are no longer required. In there place,
the options debug-help and debug-flags have been provided.
|
|
|
|
The RubyMemory flag wasnt used in the code, creating large gaps in trace output. Replace cprintfs w/dprintfs
using RubyMemory in memory controller. DPRINTF also deprecate the usage of the setDebug() pure virtual
function in the AbstractMemoryOrCache Class as well the m_debug/cprintf functions in MemoryControl.hh/cc
