This patch ensures cases like %0.6u, %06f, and %.6u are processed correctly.
The case like %06f is ambiguous and was made to match printf. Also, this patch
removes the goto statement in cprintf.cc in favor of a function call.

This patch adds a VncInput base class which VncServer inherits from.
Another class can implement the same interface and be used instead
of the VncServer, for example a class that replays Vnc traffic.

This patch takes the Linux thread info support scattered across
different ISA implementations (currently in ARM, ALPHA, and MIPS), and
unifies them into a single file.
Adds a few more helper functions to read out TGID, mm, etc.
ISA-specific information (e.g., ALPHA PCBB register) is now moved to
the corresponding isa_traits.hh files.

Changeset 4f54b0f229b5 removed the call to doDrain in changeToTiming
based on the assumption that the system does not need draining when
running in atomic mode. This is a false assumption since at least the
System class requires the system to be drained before it allows
switching of memory modes. This patch reverts that part of the
changeset.

This patch merely fixes a few typos in the port comments.
|
|
This patch updates the stats for the regressions that were affected by
the typo in the simple-atomic-mp configuration.
|
|
This patch fixes a minor typo that managed to sneak into the
simple-atomic-mp regression configuration.
|
|
This patch updates the stats to reflect the changes in the L2 MSHRs,
as the latter are now uniform across the regressions.
|
|
This patch unified the L1 and L2 caches used throughout the
regressions instead of declaring different, but very similar,
configurations in the different scripts.
The patch also changes the default L2 configuration to match what it
used to be for the fs and se scripts (until the last patch that
updated the regressions to also make use of the cache config). The
MSHRs and targets per MSHR are now set to a more realistic default of
20 and 12, respectively.
As a result of both the aforementioned changes, many of the regression
stats are changed. A follow-on patch will bump the stats.

This patch sets the is_icache param for the L1 caches used in
the MESI and the MOESI CMP directory protocols.
|
|
This patch replaces hard coded values used in Ruby's configuration files
for setting directory bits with values based on the block size in use.
|
|
This patch adds an additional check to ensure that the fastmem option
is only used if the system is using the Atomic CPU.
|
|
This patch removes a segment of dead code that is never used.
|
|
This patch unifies the naming of the default L1 and L2 caches in the
regression configs to be in line with what is used in the se and fs
scripts.
|
|
This patch updates the stats to reflect the change in the default
system clock from 1 THz to 1GHz. The changes are due to the DMA
devices now injecting requests at a lower pace.
|
|
This patch changes the default system clock from 1THz to 1GHz. This
clock is used by all modules that do not override the default (parent
clock), and primarily affects the IO subsystem. Every DMA device uses
its clock to schedule the next transfer, and the change will thus
cause this inter-transfer delay to be longer.
The default clock of the bus is removed, as the clock inherited from
the system provides exactly the same value.
A follow-on patch will bump the stats.

This patch bumps the stats to match the use of SimpleDRAM instead of
SimpleMemory in all inorder and O3 regressions, and also all
full-system regressions. A number of performance-related stats change,
and a whole bunch of stats are added for the memory controller.
|
|
This patch favours using SimpleDRAM with the default timing instead of
SimpleMemory for all regressions that involve the o3 or inorder CPU,
or are full system (in other words, where the actual performance of
the memory is important for the overall performance).
Moving forward, the solution for FSConfig and the users of fs.py and
se.py is probably something similar to what we use to choose the CPU
type. I envision a few pre-set configurations SimpleLPDDR2,
SimpleDDR3, etc that can be choosen by a dram_type option. Feedback on
this part is welcome.
This patch changes plenty stats and adds all the DRAM controller
related stats. A follow-on patch updates the relevant statistics. The
total run-time for the entire regression goes up with ~5% with this
patch due to the added complexity of the SimpleDRAM model. This is a
concious trade-off to ensure that the model is properly tested.
|
|
This patch uses the common L1, L2 and IOCache configuration for the
regressions that all share the same cache parameters. There are a few
regressions that use a slightly different configuration (memtest,
o3-timing=mp, simple-atomic-mp and simple-timing-mp), and the latter
are not changed in this patch. They will be updated in a future patch.
The common cache configurations are changed to match the ones used in
the regressions, and are slightly changed with respect to what they
were. Hopefully this means we can converge on a common base
configuration, used both in the normal user configurations and
regressions.
As only regressions that shared the same cache configuration are
updated, no regressions are affected.

This patch simplifies the scheduling of the next walk for the ARM
table walker. Previously it used the CPU clock, but as the table
walker inherits the clock from the CPU, it is cleaner to simply use
its own clock (which is the same).
|
|
This patch updates the stats after removing the zero-time send used in
the DMA port.
|
|
This patch removes the zero-time loop used to send items from the DMA
port transmit list. Instead of having a loop, the DMA port now uses an
event to schedule sending of a single packet.
Ultimately this patch serves to ease the transition to a blocking
4-phase handshake.
A follow-on patch will update the regression statistics.

|
This patch brings the t1000 stats up to date.

I had forgotten to change the network test protocol while making changes to
ruby for supporting functional accesses. This patch updates the protocol so
that it can compile correctly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This patch adds support to different entities in the ruby memory system
for more reliable functional read/write accesses. Only the simple network
has been augmented as of now. Later on Garnet will also support functional
accesses.
The patch adds functional access code to all the different types of messages
that protocols can send around. These messages are functionally accessed
by going through the buffers maintained by the network entities.
The patch also rectifies some of the bugs found in coherence protocols while
testing the patch.
With this patch applied, functional writes always succeed. But functional
reads can still fail.
|
|
The Memtest tester allows for only one request to be outstanding for a
particular physical address. The check has been written separately for
reads and writes. This patch moves the check earlier than its current
position so that it need not be written separately for reads and writes.
|
|
Currently the Ruby System maintains pointer to only one of the memory
controllers. But there can be multiple controllers in the system. This
patch adds a vector of memory controllers.
|
|
The only place where this abstract class is in use is the memory controller,
which it self is an abstract class. Does not seem useful at all.
|
|
This patch adds support for function definitions to appear in slicc structs.
This is required for supporting functional accesses for different types of
messages. Subsequent patches will use this to development.
|
|
It seems unecessary that the BankedArray class needs to schedule an event
to figure out when the access ends. Instead only the time for the end of access
needs to be tracked.
|

Ruby system was recently converted to a clocked object. Such objects maintain
state related to the time that has passed so far. During the cache warmup, Ruby
system changes its own time and the global time. Later on, the global time is
restored. So Ruby system also needs to reset its own time.
|
|
This patch fixes the logic in the blocksize check such that the
warning is printed if the size is not 16, 32, 64 or 128.
|
|
This patch adds an additional level of ports in the inheritance
hierarchy, separating out the protocol-specific and protocl-agnostic
parts. All the functionality related to the binding of ports is now
confined to use BaseMaster/BaseSlavePorts, and all the
protocol-specific parts stay in the Master/SlavePort. In the future it
will be possible to add other protocol-specific implementations.
The functions used in the binding of ports, i.e. getMaster/SlavePort
now use the base classes, and the index parameter is updated to use
the PortID typedef with the symbolic InvalidPortID as the default.

This patch moves all the memory backing store operations from the
independent memory controllers to the global physical memory. The main
reason for this patch is to allow address striping in a future set of
patches, but at this point it already provides some useful
functionality in that it is now possible to change the number of
memory controllers and their address mapping in combination with
checkpointing. Thus, the host and guest view of the memory backing
store are now completely separate.
With this patch, the individual memory controllers are far simpler as
all responsibility for serializing/unserializing is moved to the
physical memory. Currently, the functionality is more or less moved
from AbstractMemory to PhysicalMemory without any major
changes. However, in a future patch the physical memory will also
resolve any ranges that are interleaved and properly assign the
backing store to the memory controllers, and keep the host memory as a
single contigous chunk per address range.
Functionality for future extensions which involve CPU virtualization
also enable the host to get pointers to the backing store.

This patch changes how the serialization of the system works. The base
class had a non-virtual serialize and unserialize, that was hidden by
a function with the same name for a number of subclasses (most likely
not intentional as the base class should have been virtual). A few of
the derived systems had no specialization at all (e.g. Power and x86
that simply called the System::serialize), but MIPS and Alpha adds
additional symbol table entries to the checkpoint.
Instead of overriding the virtual function, the additional entries are
now printed through a virtual function (un)serializeSymtab. The reason
for not calling System::serialize from the two related systems is that
a follow up patch will require the system to also serialize the
PhysicalMemory, and if this is done in the base class if ends up being
between the general parts and the specialized symbol table.
With this patch, the checkpoint is not modified, as the order of the
segments is unchanged.
|
|
This patch changes the data structure used to keep track of ports that
should be told to retry. As the bus is doing this in an FCFS way,
there is no point having a list. A deque is a better match (and is at
least in theory a better choice from a performance point of view).
|
|
This patch addresses a number of smaller issues identified by the code
inspection utility cppcheck. There are a number of identified leaks in
the arm/linux/system.cc (although the function only get's called once
so it is not a major problem), a few deletes in dev/x86/i8042.cc that
were not array deletes, and sprintfs where the character array had one
element less than needed. In the IIC tags there was a function
allocating an array of longs which is in fact never used.
|
|
This patch updates the stats to reflect the change in how cache
latencies are expressed. In addition, the latencies are now rounded to
multiples of the clock period, thus also affecting other stats.
|
|
This patch changes the cache-related latencies from an absolute time
expressed in Ticks, to a number of cycles that can be scaled with the
clock period of the caches. Ultimately this patch serves to enable
future work that involves dynamic frequency scaling. As an immediate
benefit it also makes it more convenient to specify cache performance
without implicitly assuming a specific CPU core operating frequency.
The stat blocked_cycles that actually counter in ticks is now updated
to count in cycles.
As the timing is now rounded to the clock edges of the cache, there
are some regressions that change. Plenty of them have very minor
changes, whereas some regressions with a short run-time are perturbed
quite significantly. A follow-on patch updates all the statistics for
the regressions.
|
|
This patch updates the memtest stats to reflect the addition of a
clock other than the default one.
|
|
This patch changes the memtest clock from 1THz (the default) to 2GHz,
similar to the CPUs in the other regressions. This is useful as the
caches will adopt the same clock as the CPU. The bus clock rate is
scaled accordingly, and the L1-L2 bus is kept at the CPU clock while
the memory bus is at half that frequency.
A separate patch updates the affected stats.
|
|
This patch updates the stats to reflect the changes in the clock speed
and width for the bus connecting the L1 and L2 caches.
|
|
This patch changes the CoherentBus between the L1s and L2 to use the
CPU clock and also four times the width compared to the default
bus. The parameters are not intending to fit every single scenario,
but rather serve as a better startingpoint than what we previously
had.
Note that the scripts that do not use the addTwoLevelCacheHiearchy are
not affected by this change.
A separate patch will update the stats.
|
|
This patch updates the name of the l2 stats.
|
|
This patch unifies the full-system regression config scripts and uses
the BaseCPU convenience method addTwoLevelCacheHierarchy to connect up
the L1s and L2, and create the bus inbetween.
The patch is a step on the way to use the clock period to express the
cache latencies, as the CPU is now the parent of the L1, L2 and L1-L2
bus, and these modules thus use the CPU clock.
The patch does not change the value of any stats, but plenty names,
and a follow-up patch contains the update to the stats, chaning
system.l2c to system.cpu.l2cache.
