2013-05-30mem: Add a LPDDR3-1600 configurationAndreas Hansson
This patch adds a typical (leaning towards fast) LPDDR3 configuration based on publically available data. As expected, it looks very similar to the LPDDR2-S4 configuration, only with a slightly lower burst time.
2013-05-30mem: Adapt the LPDDR2 to match a single x32 channelAndreas Hansson
This patch adapts the existing LPDDR2 configuration to make use of the multi-channel functionality. Thus, to get a x64 interface two controllers should be instantiated using the makeMultiChannel method. The page size and ranks are also adapted to better suit with a typical LPDDR2 part.
2013-05-30mem: Avoid explicitly zeroing the memory backing storeAndreas Hansson
This patch removes the explicit memset as it is redundant and causes the simulator to touch the entire space, forcing the host system to allocate the pages. Anonymous pages are mapped on the first access, and the page-fault handler is responsible for zeroing them. Thus, the pages are still zeroed, but we avoid touching the entire allocated space which enables us to use much larger memory sizes as long as not all the memory is actually used.
2013-05-30util: Auto generate the packet proto definitionsAndreas Hansson
This patch simplifies the usage of the packet trace encoder/decoder by attempting to automatically generating the packet proto definitions in case they cannot be found.
2013-05-30base: Avoid size limitation on protobuf coded streamsAndreas Hansson
This patch changes how the streams are created to avoid the size limitation on the coded streams. As we only read/write a single message at a time, there is never any message larger than a few bytes. However, the coded stream eventually complains that its internal counter reaches 64+ MByte if the total file size exceeds this value. Based on suggestions in the protobuf discussion forums, the coded stream is now created for every message that is read/written. The result is that the internal byte count never goes about tens of bytes, and we can read/write any size file that the underlying file I/O can handle.
2013-05-30cpu: Make hash struct instead of class to please clangAndreas Hansson
This patch changes the type of the hash function for BasicBlockRanges to match the original definition of the templatized type. Without this, clang raises a warning and combined with the "-Werror" flag this causes compilation to fail.

2013-05-21x86, regressions: updates statsNilay Vaish
This is due to op class, function call, walker patches.
2013-05-21x86: Squash outstanding walks when instructions are squashed.Gedare Bloom
This is the x86 version of the ARM changeset baa17ba80e06. In case an instruction has been squashed by the o3 cpu, this patch allows page table walker to avoid carrying out a pending translation that the instruction requested for.
2013-05-21x86: mark instructions for being function call/returnNilay Vaish
Currently call and return instructions are marked as IsCall and IsReturn. Thus, the branch predictor does not use RAS for these instructions. Similarly, the number of function calls that took place is recorded as 0. This patch marks these instructions as they should be.
2013-05-21x86: add op class for int and fp microops in isa descriptionNilay Vaish
Currently all the integer microops are marked as IntAluOp and the floating point microops are marked as FloatAddOp. This patch adds support for marking different microops differently. Now IntMultOp, IntDivOp, FloatDivOp, FloatMultOp, FloatCvtOp, FloatSqrtOp classes will be used as well. This will help in providing different latencies for different op class.

2013-05-21configs: ruby: pass the option use_map to directory controllerNilay Vaish
The option was not being passed to directory controllers for the protocols MOESI_CMP_token and MOESI_CMP_directory. This was resulting in an error while instantiating the directory controller as it tries to access the wrong type of memory.
2013-05-21ruby: add stats to .sm files, remove cache profilerNilay Vaish ext:(%2C%20Malek%20Musleh%20%3Cmalek.musleh%40gmail.com%3E)
This patch changes the way cache statistics are collected in ruby. As of now, there is separate entity called CacheProfiler which holds statistical variables for caches. The CacheMemory class defines different functions for accessing the CacheProfiler. These functions are then invoked in the .sm files. I find this approach opaque and prone to error. Secondly, we probably should not be paying the cost of a function call for recording statistics. Instead, this patch allows for accessing statistical variables in the .sm files. The collection would become transparent. Secondly, it would happen in place, so no function calls. The patch also removes the CacheProfiler class. --HG-- rename : src/mem/slicc/ast/InfixOperatorExprAST.py => src/mem/slicc/ast/OperatorExprAST.py
2013-05-14cpu: remove local/globalHistoryBits params from branch predAnthony Gutierrez
having separate params for the local/globalHistoryBits and the local/globalPredictorSize can lead to inconsistencies if they are not carefully set. this patch dervies the number of bits necessary to index into the local/global predictors based on their size. the value of the localHistoryTableSize for the ARM O3 CPU has been increased to 1024 from 64, which is more accurate for an A15 based on some correlation against A15 hardware.
2013-05-14kvm: Add support for disabling coalesced MMIOAndreas Sandberg
Add the option useCoalescedMMIO to the BaseKvmCPU. The default behavior is to disable coalesced MMIO since this hasn't been heavily tested.
2013-05-14kvm: Dump state before panic in KVM exit handlersAndreas Sandberg
2013-05-14kvm: Fix the memory interface used by KVMAndreas Sandberg
The CpuPort class was removed before the KVM patches were committed, which means that the KVM interface currently doesn't compile. This changeset adds the BaseKvmCPU::KVMCpuPort class which derives from MasterPort. This class is used on the data and instruction ports instead of the old CpuPort.
2013-05-14arm: Add support for the m5fail pseudo-opAndreas Sandberg
2013-05-14arm: Fix compilation error in m5 utilityAndreas Sandberg
Changeset 5ca6098b9560 accidentally broke the m5 utility. This changeset adds the missing co-processor call used to trigger the pseudo-op in ARM mode and fixes an alignment issue that caused some pseudo-ops to leave thumb mode.
2013-05-07arm: Make libm5 a dependency of the m5 utilityAndreas Sandberg
The m5 utility wasn't relinked properly since libm5.a wasn't a dependency of the utility. This changeset addresses that issue.
2013-05-02kvm: Add a stat counting number of instructions executedAndreas Sandberg
This changeset adds a 'numInsts' stat to the KVM-based CPU. It also cleans up the variable names in kvmRun to make the distinction between host cycles and estimated simulated cycles clearer. As a bonus feature, it also fixes a warning (unreferenced variable) when compiling in fast mode.
2013-05-02kvm: Add checkpoint debug printAndreas Sandberg
Add a debug print (when the Checkpoint debug flag is set) on serialize and unserialize. Additionally, dump the KVM state before serializing. The KVM state isn't dumped after unserializing since the state is loaded lazily on the next KVM entry.
2013-05-02kvm: Make MMIO requests uncacheableAndreas Sandberg
Device accesses are normally uncacheable. This change probably doesn't make any difference since we normally disable caching when KVM is active. However, there might be devices that check this, so we'd better enable this flag to be safe.
2013-05-02sim: Add support for m5fail in pseudoInst()Andreas Sandberg
2013-04-28config: Added memory type to t1000 regressionAndreas Hansson
This patch adds the memory type parameter to the t1000 regression.
2013-04-23x86: corrects vsyscall address for gettimeofdayMichael Levenhagen
The vsyscall address for gettimeofday is 0xffffffffff600000ul. The offset therefore should be 0x0 instead of 0x410. This can be cross checked with the file sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/gettimeofday.c in source of glibc. Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>

2013-04-23config: Fix mem-type option not used in ruby_fs scriptMarco Elver
This fixes missing mem-type arguments to makeLinuxAlphaRubySystem and makeLinuxX86System after a recent changeset allowing mem-type to be configured via options missed fixing these calls. Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>
2013-04-23sim: Fix two bugs relating to software caching of PageTable entries.Mitch Hayenga
The existing implementation can read uninitialized data or stale information from the cached PageTable entries. 1) Add a valid bit for the cache entries. Simply using zero for the virtual address to signify invalid entries is not sufficient. Speculative, wrong-path accesses frequently access page zero. The current implementation would return a uninitialized TLB entry when address zero was accessed and the PageTable cache entry was invalid. 2) When unmapping/mapping/remaping a page, invalidate the corresponding PageTable cache entry if one already exists.
2013-04-23cpu: Fix TraceGen flag initalisationAndreas Hansson
This patch ensures the flags are always initialised.

2013-04-23x86, stats: updates due to lret bugfixNilay Vaish
2013-04-23x86: increment the stack pointer in lret instChristian Menard
The 'lret' instruction reloads instruction pointer and code segment from the stack and then pops them. But the popping part is missing from the current implementation. This caused incorrect behavior in some code related to the Fiasco OS. Microops are being added to rectify the behavior of the instruction. Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>
2013-04-23ruby: patch checkpoint restore with garnetNilay Vaish
Due to recent changes to clocking system in Ruby and the way Ruby restores state from a checkpoint, garnet was failing to run from a checkpointed state. The problem is that Ruby resets the time to zero while warming up the caches. If any component records a local copy of the time (read calls curCycle()) before the simulation has started, then that component will not operate until that time is reached. In the context of this particular patch, the Garnet Network class calls curCycle() at multiple places. Any non-operational component can block in requests in the memory system, which the system interprets as a deadlock. This patch makes changes so that Garnet can successfully run from checkpointed state. It adds a globally visible time at which the actual execution started. This time is initialized in RubySystem::startup() function. This variable is only meant for components with in Ruby. This replaces the private variable that was maintained within Garnet since it is not possible to figure out the correct time when the value of this variable can be set. The patch also does away with all cases where curCycle() is called with in some Ruby component before the system has actually started executing. This is required due to the quirky manner in which ruby restores from a checkpoint.
2013-04-22mem: Address mapping with fine-grained channel interleavingAndreas Hansson
This patch adds an address mapping scheme where the channel interleaving takes place on a cache line granularity. It is similar to the existing RaBaChCo that interleaves on a DRAM page, but should give higher performance when there is less locality in the address stream.
2013-04-22mem: More descriptive enum names for address mappingAndreas Hansson
This patch changes the slightly ambigious names used for the address mapping scheme to be more descriptive, and actually spell out what they do. With this patch we also open up for adding more flavours of open- and close-type mappings, i.e. interleaving across channels with the open map.
2013-04-22cpu: Use request flags in trace playbackAndreas Hansson
This patch changes the TraceGen such that it uses the optional request flags from the protobuf trace if they are present.
2013-04-22cpu: Make the generators usable outside the TrafficGen moduleAndreas Hansson
This patch enables the use of the generator behaviours outside the TrafficGen module. This is useful e.g. to allow packet replay modes for other devices in the system without having to replace them with a TrafficGen in the configuration files. This change also enables more specific behaviours to be composed as specific modules, e.g. BaseBandModem can use a number of generators and have application-specific parameters based around a specific set of generators.
2013-04-22config: Add a mem-type config option to se/fs scriptsAndreas Hansson
This patch enables selection of the memory controller class through a mem-type command-line option. Behind the scenes, this option is treated much like the cpu-type, and a similar framework is used to resolve the valid options, and translate the short-hand description to a valid class. The regression scripts are updated with a hardcoded memory class for the moment. The best solution going forward is probably to get the memory out of the makeSystem functions, but Ruby complicates things as it does not connect the memory controller to the membus. --HG-- rename : configs/common/CpuConfig.py => configs/common/MemConfig.py
2013-04-22mem: Add a WideIO DRAM configurationAndreas Hansson
This patch adds a WideIO 200 MHz configuration that can be used as a baseline to compare with DDRx and LPDDRx. Note that it is a single channel and that it should be replicated 4 times. It is based on publically available information and attempts to capture an envisioned 8 Gbit single-die part (i.e. without TSVs).
2013-04-22mem: Adding verbose debug output in the memory systemUri Wiener
This patch provides useful printouts throughut the memory system. This includes pretty-printed cache tags and function call messages (call-stack like).
2013-04-22mem: Replace check with panic where inhibited should not happenAndreas Hansson
This patch changes the SimpleTimingPort and RubyPort to panic on inhibited requests as this should never happen in either of the cases. The SimpleTimingPort is only used for the I/O devices PIO port and the DMA devices config port and should thus never see an inhibited request. Similarly, the SimpleTimingPort is also used for the MessagePort in x86, and there should also not be any cases where the port sees an inhibited request.
2013-04-22stats: Update stats for O3 switching fix.Ali Saidi
2013-04-22kvm: Add support for pseudo-ops on ARMAndreas Sandberg
This changeset adds support for m5 pseudo-ops when running in kvm-mode. Unfortunately, we can't trap the normal gem5 co-processor entry in KVM (it doesn't seem to be possible to trap accesses to non-existing co-processors). We therefore use BZJ instructions to cause a trap from virtualized mode into gem5. The BZJ instruction is becomes a normal branch to the gem5 fallback code when running in simulated mode, which means that this patch does not need to change the ARM ISA-specific code. Note: This requires a patched host kernel.
