The WaitRec structure in the Process class is unnecessary. There
is a member declaration inside of the Process class, waitList,
that uses the WaitRec definition. However, waitList is unused so
they are both dead bits of code. This changeset removes both the
WaitRec struct and waitList member from Process.

The slicc compiler currently treats && and || with the same precedence.
This is highly non-intuitive to people used to C, and was probably an
error. This patch makes && bind tighter than ||.
For example, previously:
if (A || B && C)
compiled to:
if ((A || B) && C)
With this patch, it compiles to:
if (A || (B && C))

It's currently possible to change the log level in gem5 by tweaking a
set of global variables. These variables are currently exposed to
Python using SWIG. This mechanism is far from ideal for two reasons:
First, changing the log level requires that the Python world enables
or disables individual levels. Ideally, this should be a single call
where a log level is selected. Second, exporting global variables is
poorly supported by most Python frameworks. SWIG puts variables in
their own namespace and PyBind doesn't seem to support it at all.
This changeset refactors the logging code to create a more abstract
interface. Each log level is associated with an instance of a Logger
class. This class contains common functionality, an enable flag, and a
verbose flag.
Available LogLevels are described by the LogLevel class. Lower log
levels are used for more critical messages (PANIC being level 0) and
higher levels for less critical messages. The highest log level that
is printed is controlled by calling Logger:setLevel().

Add a mechanism to configure the stat output format using a URL-like
syntax. This makes it possible to specify both an output format
(currently, only text is supported) and override default
parameters.
On the Python-side, this is implemented using a helper function
(m5.stats.addStatVisitor) that adds a visitor to the list of active
stat visitors. The helper function parses a URL-like stat
specification to determine the stat output type. Optional parameters
can be specified to change how stat visitors behave.
For example, to output stats in text format without stat descriptions:
m5.stats.addStatVisitor("text://stats.txt?desc=False")
From the command line:
gem5.opt --stats-file="text://stats.txt?desc=False"
Internally, the stat framework uses the _url_factory decorator
to wrap a Python function with the fn(path, **kwargs) signature in a
function that takes a parsed URL as its only argument. The path and
keyword arguments are automatically derived from the URL in the
wrapper function.
New output formats can be registered in the m5.stats.factories
dictionary. This dictionary contains a mapping between format names
(URL schemes) and factory methods.
To retain backwards compatibility, the code automatically assumes that
the user wants text output if no format has been specified (i.e., when
specifying a plain path).

This changeset adds functionality that allows system calls to retry without
affecting thread context state such as the program counter or register values
for the associated thread context (when system calls return with a retry
fault).
This functionality is needed to solve problems with blocking system calls
in multi-process or multi-threaded simulations where information is passed
between processes/threads. Blocking system calls can cause deadlock because
the simulator itself is single threaded. There is only a single thread
servicing the event queue which can cause deadlock if the thread hits a
blocking system call instruction.
To illustrate the problem, consider two processes using the producer/consumer
sharing model. The processes can use file descriptors and the read and write
calls to pass information to one another. If the consumer calls the blocking
read system call before the producer has produced anything, the call will
block the event queue (while executing the system call instruction) and
deadlock the simulation.
The solution implemented in this changeset is to recognize that the system
calls will block and then generate a special retry fault. The fault will
be sent back up through the function call chain until it is exposed to the
cpu model's pipeline where the fault becomes visible. The fault will trigger
the cpu model to replay the instruction at a future tick where the call has
a chance to succeed without actually going into a blocking state.
In subsequent patches, we recognize that a syscall will block by calling a
non-blocking poll (from inside the system call implementation) and checking
for events. When events show up during the poll, it signifies that the call
would not have blocked and the syscall is allowed to proceed (calling an
underlying host system call if necessary). If no events are returned from the
poll, we generate the fault and try the instruction for the thread context
at a distant tick. Note that retrying every tick is not efficient.
As an aside, the simulator has some multi-threading support for the event
queue, but it is not used by default and needs work. Even if the event queue
was completely multi-threaded, meaning that there is a hardware thread on
the host servicing a single simulator thread contexts with a 1:1 mapping
between them, it's still possible to run into deadlock due to the event queue
barriers on quantum boundaries. The solution of replaying at a later tick
is the simplest solution and solves the problem generally.

This changeset updates an assert in src/mem/cache/mshr.cc which was
erroneously catching invalidated prefetch requests. These requests can
become invalidated if another component writes (an exclusive access)
to this location during the time that the read request is in
flight. The original assert made the assumption that these cases can
only occur for reads generated by the CPU, and hence
prefetcher-generated requests would sometimes trip the assert.

CPU models (e.g., O3CPU) issue instruction fetches for the whole cache
block rather than a specific instruction. Consequently the TLB lookups
translate the cache block virtual address. When the TLB lookup fails,
however, the Prefetch Abort must be raised for the PC of the
instruction that caused the fault rather than for the address of the
block.
This change fixes the way we instantiate the PrefetchAbort faults to
use the PC of the request rather the address of the instruction fetch
request.

Several large changes happen in this patch.
The FDEntry class is rewritten so that file descriptors now correspond to
types: 'File' which is normal file-backed file with the file open on the
host machine, 'Pipe' which is a pipe that has been opened on the host machine,
and 'Device' which does not have an open file on the host yet acts as a pseudo
device with which to issue ioctls. Other types which might be added in the
future are directory entries and sockets (off the top of my head).
The FDArray class was create to hold most of the file descriptor handling
that was stuffed into the Process class. It uses shared pointers and
the std::array type to hold the FDEntries mentioned above.
The changes to these two classes needed to be propagated out to the rest
of the code so there were quite a few changes for that. Also, comments were
added where I thought they were needed to help others and extend our
DOxygen coverage.

Moves aux_vector into its own .hh and .cc files just to get it out of the
already crowded Process files. Arguably, it could stay there, but it's
probably better just to move it and give it files.
The changeset looks ugly around the Process header file, but the goal here is
to move methods and members around so that they're not defined randomly
throughout the entire header file. I expect this is likely one of the reasons
why I several unused variables related to this class. So, the methods are
declared first followed by members. I've tried to aggregate them together
so that similar entries reside near one another.
There are other changes coming to this code so this is by no means the
final product.

The numCpus method is misleading in that it's not really a measure of
how many CPUs might be executing a process, but how many thread contexts
are assigned to the process at any given point in time.
It's nice to highlight this distinction because thread contexts are never
reused in the same way that a CPU can be reused for multiple processes.
The reason that there is no reuse is that there is no CPU scheduler for SE.
The tru64 code intends to use this method and the accompanying contextIDs
field to support SMT and track the number of threads with some system calls.
With the up coming clone and exec patches, this paradigm must change. There
needs to be a 1:1 mapping between the thread contexts and processes so that
the process state between threads is allowed to vary when needed by Linux.
This should not break SMT for tru64 if the Process class is refactored so that
multiple Processes can share state between themselves. The following patches
will do the refactoring incrementally as features are added.
|
|
It looks like tru64 has some nxm* system calls, but the two fields that
are defined in the Process class are unused by any of the code. There doesn't
appear to be any reference in the tru64 code.
|
|
The EIOProcess class was removed recently and it was the only other class
which derived from Process. Since every Process invocation is also a
LiveProcess invocation, it makes sense to simplify the organization by
combining the fields from LiveProcess into Process.
|
|
Turns out that SPARC SE mode relied on M5_pid being "0" in
all cases. The entries in the SPARC TLBs are accessed with
M5_pid as their context. This is buggy in the sense that it
will never work with more than one process or any
initialization that doesn't have the M5_pid value passed in
as "0".
cd7f3a1dbf55 broke the SPARC build because it deletes M5_pid
and uses a _pid with a default of "100" instead. This caused
the SPARC TLB to never return any valid lookups for any
request; the program never moved past the first instruction
with SPARC SE in the regression tester.
The solution proposed in this changeset is to initialize
the address space identification register with the PID value
that is passed into the process class as a parameter from
Python. This should return the correct responses from the TLB
since the insertions and lookups into the page table will be
using the same PID.
Furthermore, there are corner cases in the code which elevate
privileges and revert to using context "0" as the context in
the TLB. I believe that these are related to kernel level
traps and hypervisor privilege escalations, but I'm not
completely sure. I've tried to address the corner cases
properly, but it would be beneficial to have someone who is
familiar with the SPARC architecture to take a look at this
fix.

Assertion in the respondEvent erroneously fired.
The assertion verifies that the controller has not moved to a low-power
state prior to receiving read data from the memory.
The original assertion triggered if the state was not:
PWR_IDLE or PWR_ACT.
In the case that failed, a periodic refresh event occurred around the
read. The REF is stalled until the final read burst is issued
and the subsequent PRE closes the bank. While the PRE will temporarily
move the state to PWR_IDLE, state will immediately transition to PWR_REF
due to the pending refresh operation. This state does not match the
assertion, which is subsequently triggered.
Fixed the assertion by explicitly checking that the state is not a low
power state
