2015-07-31cpu: Fix Minor drain issues when switched outAndreas Sandberg
The Minor CPU currently doesn't drain properly when it is switched out. This happens because Fetch 1 expects to be in the FetchHalted state when it is drained. However, because the CPU is switched out, it is stuck in the FetchWaitingForPC state. Fix this by ignoring drain requests and returning DrainState::Drained from MinorCPU::drain() if the CPU is switched out. This is always safe since a switched out CPU, by definition, doesn't have any instructions in flight.
2015-07-30stats: Bump stats after Minor switcheroo inclusionAndreas Sandberg
2015-07-30tests: Add Minor to the ARM full switcheroo testsAndreas Sandberg
Add the Minor CPU to the RealView and RealView64 full switcheroo tests.
2015-07-30cpu: Only activate thread 0 in Minor if the CPU is activeAndreas Sandberg
Minor currently activates thread 0 in startup() to work around an issue where activateContext() is called from LiveProcess before the process entry point is known. When activateContext() is called, Minor creates a branch instruction to the process's entry point. The first time it is called, the branch points to an undefined location (0). The call in startup() updates the branch to point to the actual entry point. When instantiating a switched out Minor CPU, it still tries to activate thread 0. This is clearly incorrect since a switched out CPU can't have any active threads. This changeset adds a check to ensure that the thread is active before reactivating it.
2015-07-30cpu: Fix drain issues in the Minor CPUAndreas Sandberg
The drain refactor patches introduced a couple of bugs in the way Minor handles draining. This patch fixes an incorrect assert and a case of infinite recursion when the CPU signals drain done.
2015-07-30stats: Update stats for clean eviction additionAndreas Hansson
2015-07-30mem: Add missing clean eviction on uncacheable accessAndreas Hansson
This patch adds a missing clean eviction, occuring when an uncacheable access flushes and invalidates an existing block.
2015-07-30mem: Remove unused RequestCause in cacheAndreas Hansson
This patch removes the RequestCause, and also simplifies how we schedule the sending of packets through the memory-side port. The deassertion of bus requests is removed as it is not used.
2015-07-30mem: Make caches way awareDavid Guillen-Fandos
This patch makes cache sets aware of the way number. This enables some nice features such as the ablity to restrict way allocation. The implemented mechanism allows to set a maximum way number to be allocated 'k' which must fulfill 0 < k <= N (where N is the number of ways). In the future more sophisticated mechasims can be implemented.
2015-07-30mem: Transition away from isSupplyExclusive for writebacksAndreas Hansson
This patch changes how writebacks communicate whether the line is passed as modified or owned. Previously we relied on the isSupplyExclusive mechanism, which was originally designed to avoid unecessary snoops. For normal cache requests we use the sharedAsserted mechanism to determine if a block should be marked writeable or not, and with this patch we transition the writebacks to also use this mechanism. Conceptually this is cleaner and more consistent.
2015-07-30mem: Tidy up CacheBlk classAndreas Hansson
This patch modernises and tidies up the CacheBlk, removing dead code.
2015-07-30mem: Tidy up packetAndreas Hansson
Some minor fixes and removal of dead code. Changing the flags to be enums rather than static const (to avoid any linking issues caused by the latter). Also adding a getBlockAddr member which hopefully can slowly finds its way into caches, snoop filters etc.
2015-07-30stats: Bump stats to match current behaviourAndreas Hansson
Somehow this one seems to have slipped through. Perhaps non-determinism somewhere?

2015-07-26cpu: implements vector registersNilay Vaish
This adds a vector register type. The type is defined as a std::array of a fixed number of uint64_ts. The isa_parser.py has been modified to parse vector register operands and generate the required code. Different cpus have vector register files now.

2015-07-24style: change Process function calls to use camelCaseBrandon Potter
The Process class methods were using an improper style and this subsequently bled into the system call code. The following regular expressions should be helpful if someone transitions private system call patches on top of these changesets: s/alloc_fd/allocFD/ s/sim_fd(/simFD(/ s/sim_fd_obj/getFDEntry/ s/fix_file_offsets/fixFileOffsets/ s/find_file_offsets/findFileOffsets/
2015-07-24syscall_emul: standardized file descriptor name and add return checks.Brandon Potter
The patch clarifies whether file descriptors are host file descriptors or target file descriptors in the system call code. (Host file descriptors are file descriptors which have been allocated through real system calls where target file descriptors are allocated from an array in the Process class.)
2015-07-24base: refactor process class (specifically FdMap and friends)Brandon Potter
This patch extends the previous patch's alterations around fd_map. It cleans up some of the uglier code in the process file and replaces it with a more concise C++11 version. As part of the changes, the FdMap class is pulled out of the Process class and receives its own file.
2015-07-24syscall_emul: file descriptor interface changesBrandon Potter
This patch gets rid of unused Process::dup_fd method and does minor refactoring in the process class files. The file descriptor max has been changed to be the number of file descriptors since this clarifies the loop boundary condition and cleans up the code a bit. The fd_map field has been altered to be dynamically allocated as opposed to being an array; the intention here is to build on this is subsequent patches to allow processes to share their file descriptors with the clone system call.

2015-07-17x86: decode instructions with vex prefixNilay Vaish
This patch updates the x86 decoder so that it can decode instructions with vex prefix. It also updates the isa with opcodes from vex opcode maps 1, 2 and 3. Note that none of the instructions have been implemented yet. The implementations would be provided in due course of time.
2015-07-15dev: add support for multi gem5 runsGabor Dozsa
Multi gem5 is an extension to gem5 to enable parallel simulation of a distributed system (e.g. simulation of a pool of machines connected by Ethernet links). A multi gem5 run consists of seperate gem5 processes running in parallel (potentially on different hosts/slots on a cluster). Each gem5 process executes the simulation of a component of the simulated distributed system (e.g. a multi-core board with an Ethernet NIC). The patch implements the "distributed" Ethernet link device (dev/src/multi_etherlink.[hh.cc]). This device will send/receive (simulated) Ethernet packets to/from peer gem5 processes. The interface to talk to the peer gem5 processes is defined in dev/src/multi_iface.hh and in tcp_iface.hh. There is also a central message server process (util/multi/tcp_server.[hh,cc]) which acts like an Ethernet switch and transfers messages among the gem5 peers. A multi gem5 simulations can be kicked off by the util/multi/gem5-multi.sh wrapper script. Checkpoints are supported by multi-gem5. The checkpoint must be initiated by a single gem5 process. E.g., the gem5 process with rank 0 can take a checkpoint from the bootscript just before it invokes 'mpirun' to launch an MPI test. The message server process will notify all the other peer gem5 processes and make them take a checkpoint, too (after completing a global synchronisation to ensure that there are no inflight messages among gem5).

2015-07-10ruby: replace global g_abs_controls with per-RubySystem varBrandon Potter
This is another step in the process of removing global variables from Ruby to enable multiple RubySystem instances in a single simulation. The list of abstract controllers is per-RubySystem and should be represented that way, rather than as a global. Since this is the last remaining Ruby global variable, the src/mem/ruby/Common/Global.* files are also removed.
2015-07-10ruby: replace global g_system_ptr with per-object pointersBrandon Potter
This is another step in the process of removing global variables from Ruby to enable multiple RubySystem instances in a single simulation. With possibly multiple RubySystem objects, we can no longer use a global variable to find "the" RubySystem object. Instead, each Ruby component has to carry a pointer to the RubySystem object to which it belongs.
2015-07-10ruby: replace g_ruby_start with per-RubySystem m_start_cycleBrandon Potter
This patch begins the process of removing global variables from the Ruby source with the goal of eventually allowing users to create multiple Ruby instances in a single simulation. Currently, users cannot do so because several global variables and static members are referenced by the RubySystem object in a way that assumes that there will only ever be a single RubySystem. These need to be replaced with per-RubySystem equivalents. This specific patch replaces the global var g_ruby_start, which is used to calculate throughput statistics for Throttles in simple networks and links in Garnet networks, with a RubySystem instance var m_start_cycle.

2015-07-07dev, arm: Add a device model that uses the NoMali modelAndreas Sandberg
Add a simple device shim that interfaces with the NoMali model library. The gem5 side of the interface supports Mali T60x/T62x/T760 GPUs. This device model pretends to be a Mali GPU, but doesn't render anything and executes in zero time.
2015-07-07ext: Add the NoMali GPU no-simulation libraryAndreas Sandberg
Add revision 9adf9d6e2d889a483a92136c96eb8a434d360561 of NoMali-model from https://github.com/ARM-software/nomali-model. This library implements the register interface of the Mali T6xx/T7xx series GPUs, but doesn't do any rendering. It can be used to hide the effects of software rendering.
2015-07-07stats: Update pc-switcheroo statsAndreas Sandberg
The pc-switcheroo test cases has slightly different timing after decoupling draining from the SimObject hierarchy. This is expected since objects aren't drained in the exact same order as before.
2015-07-07sim: Refactor and simplify the drain APIAndreas Sandberg
The drain() call currently passes around a DrainManager pointer, which is now completely pointless since there is only ever one global DrainManager in the system. It also contains vestiges from the time when SimObjects had to keep track of their child objects that needed draining. This changeset moves all of the DrainState handling to the Drainable base class and changes the drain() and drainResume() calls to reflect this. Particularly, the drain() call has been updated to take no parameters (the DrainManager argument isn't needed) and return a DrainState instead of an unsigned integer (there is no point returning anything other than 0 or 1 any more). Drainable objects should return either DrainState::Draining (equivalent to returning 1 in the old system) if they need more time to drain or DrainState::Drained (equivalent to returning 0 in the old system) if they are already in a consistent state. Returning DrainState::Running is considered an error. Drain done signalling is now done through the signalDrainDone() method in the Drainable class instead of using the DrainManager directly. The new call checks if the state of the object is DrainState::Draining before notifying the drain manager. This means that it is safe to call signalDrainDone() without first checking if the simulator has requested draining. The intention here is to reduce the code needed to implement draining in simple objects.
2015-07-07sim: Decouple draining from the SimObject hierarchyAndreas Sandberg
Draining is currently done by traversing the SimObject graph and calling drain()/drainResume() on the SimObjects. This is not ideal when non-SimObjects (e.g., ports) need draining since this means that SimObjects owning those objects need to be aware of this. This changeset moves the responsibility for finding objects that need draining from SimObjects and the Python-side of the simulator to the DrainManager. The DrainManager now maintains a set of all objects that need draining. To reduce the overhead in classes owning non-SimObjects that need draining, objects inheriting from Drainable now automatically register with the DrainManager. If such an object is destroyed, it is automatically unregistered. This means that drain() and drainResume() should never be called directly on a Drainable object. While implementing the new functionality, the DrainManager has now been made thread safe. In practice, this means that it takes a lock whenever it manipulates the set of Drainable objects since SimObjects in different threads may create Drainable objects dynamically. Similarly, the drain counter is now an atomic_uint, which ensures that it is manipulated correctly when objects signal that they are done draining. A nice side effect of these changes is that it makes the drain state changes stricter, which the simulation scripts can exploit to avoid redundant drains.
2015-07-07sim: Move mem(Writeback|Invalidate) to SimObjectAndreas Sandberg
The memWriteback() and memInvalidate() calls used to live in the Serializable interface. In this series of patches, the Serializable interface will be redesigned to make serialization independent of the object graph and always work on the entire simulator. This means that the Serialization interface won't be useful to perform maintenance of the caches in a sub-graph of the entire SimObject graph. This changeset moves these memory maintenance methods to the SimObject interface instead.
2015-07-07sim: Make the drain state a global typed enumAndreas Sandberg
The drain state enum is currently a part of the Drainable interface. The same state machine will be used by the DrainManager to identify the global state of the simulator. Make the drain state a global typed enum to better cater for this usage scenario.
2015-07-07python: Remove redundant drain when changing memory modesAndreas Sandberg
When the Python helper code switches CPU models, it sometimes also needs to change the memory mode of the simulator. When this happens, it accidentally tried to drain the simulator despite having done so already. This changeset removes the redundant drain.
2015-07-07sim: Add macros to serialize objects into a sectionAndreas Sandberg
Add the SERIALIZE_OBJ / UNSERIALIZE_OBJ macros that serialize an object into a subsection of the current checkpoint section.
2015-07-07base: Add serialization support to Pixels and FrameBufferAndreas Sandberg
Serialize pixels as unsigned 32 bit integers by adding the required to_number() and stream operators. This is used by the FrameBuffer, which now implements the Serializable interface. Users of frame buffers are expected to serialize it into its own section by calling serializeSection().
2015-07-07sim: Fix broken event unserializationAndreas Sandberg
Events expected to be unserialized using an event-specific unserializeEvent call. This call was never actually used, which meant the events relying on it never got unserialized (or scheduled after unserialization). Instead of relying on a custom call, we now use the normal serialization code again. In order to schedule the event correctly, the parrent object is expected to use the EventQueue::checkpointReschedule() call. This happens automatically for events that are serialized using the AutoSerialize mechanism.
2015-07-07sim: Refactor the serialization base classAndreas Sandberg
Objects that are can be serialized are supposed to inherit from the Serializable class. This class is meant to provide a unified API for such objects. However, so far it has mainly been used by SimObjects due to some fundamental design limitations. This changeset redesigns to the serialization interface to make it more generic and hide the underlying checkpoint storage. Specifically: * Add a set of APIs to serialize into a subsection of the current object. Previously, objects that needed this functionality would use ad-hoc solutions using nameOut() and section name generation. In the new world, an object that implements the interface has the methods serializeSection() and unserializeSection() that serialize into a named /subsection/ of the current object. Calling serialize() serializes an object into the current section. * Move the name() method from Serializable to SimObject as it is no longer needed for serialization. The fully qualified section name is generated by the main serialization code on the fly as objects serialize sub-objects. * Add a scoped ScopedCheckpointSection helper class. Some objects need to serialize data structures, that are not deriving from Serializable, into subsections. Previously, this was done using nameOut() and manual section name generation. To simplify this, this changeset introduces a ScopedCheckpointSection() helper class. When this class is instantiated, it adds a new /subsection/ and subsequent serialization calls during the lifetime of this helper class happen inside this section (or a subsection in case of nested sections). * The serialize() call is now const which prevents accidental state manipulation during serialization. Objects that rely on modifying state can use the serializeOld() call instead. The default implementation simply calls serialize(). Note: The old-style calls need to be explicitly called using the serializeOld()/serializeSectionOld() style APIs. These are used by default when serializing SimObjects. * Both the input and output checkpoints now use their own named types. This hides underlying checkpoint implementation from objects that need checkpointing and makes it easier to change the underlying checkpoint storage code.
2015-07-07tests: Skip SPARC tests if the required binaries are missingAndreas Sandberg
