This patch introduces the PortId type, moves the definition of
INVALID_PORT_ID to the Port class, and also gives every port an id to
reflect the fact that each element in a vector port has an
identifier/index.
Previously the bus and Ruby testers (and potentially other users of
the vector ports) added the id field in their port subclasses, and now
this functionality is always present as it is moved to the base class.

This patch changes the guards for the definition of hash functions to
also exclude the int64_t and uint64_t hash functions in the case we
are using the c++0x STL <unordered_map> (and <hash>) or the TR1
version of the same header. Previously the guard only covered the hash
function for strings, but it seems there is also no need to define a
hash for the 64-bit integer types, and this has caused problems with
builds on 32-bit Ubuntu.

It's possible for two page table walks to overlap which will go in the same
place in the TLB's trie. They would land on top of each other, so this change
adds some code which detects if an address already matches an entry and if so
throws away the new one.
|
|
This is to avoid collision with non-generated files.
|
|
We should try to keep this synced with the wiki
(which I also just updated, but which was
previously inconsistent).

trie.hh uses assert, but it wasn't explicitly including cassert.

This way the user gets a nice message instead of a less nice segfault.

Multithreaded programs did not run by just specifying the binary once on the
command line of SE mode.The default mode is multi-programmed mode. Added
check in SE mode to run multi-threaded programs in case only one program is
specified with multiple CPUS. Default mode is still multi-programmed mode.
|
|
Added the options to Options.py for FS mode with backward compatibility. It is
good to provide an option to specify the disk image and the memory size from
command line since a lot of disk images are created to support different
benchmark suites as well as per user needs. Change in program also leads to
change in memory requirements. These options provide the interface to provide
both disk image and memory size from the command line and gives more
flexibility.

Put the { on the same line as the if and put a space between the if and the
open paren. Also, use the # format modifier which puts a 0x in front of hex
values automatically. If the ExtMachInst type isn't integral and actually
prints something more complicated, the # falls away harmlessly and we aren't
left with a phantom 0x followed by a bunch of unrelated text.
|
|
The parameter is _machInst, which is very similar to the member machInst. If
machInst is used to pass the parameter to a lower level constructor, what
really happens is that machInst is set to whatever it already happened to be,
effectively leaving it uninitialized.

This change also adjusts the TlbEntry class so that it stores the number of
address bits wide a page is rather than its size in bytes. In other words,
instead of storing 4K for a 4K page, it stores 12. 12 is easy to turn into 4K,
but it's a little harder going the other way.

This change adds a trie data structure which stores an arbitrary pointer type
based on an address and a number of relevant bits. Then lookups can be done
against the trie where the tree is traversed and the first legitimate match
found is returned.
|
|
This patch simplifies future patches by changing the pointer type used
in a number of the Ruby testers to use MasterPort instead of using a
derived CpuPort class. There is no reason for using the more
specialised pointers, and there is no longer a need to do any casting.
With the latest changes to the tester, organising ports as readers and
writes, things got a bit more complicated, and the "type" now had to
be removed to be able to fall back to using MasterPort rather than
CpuPort.

This patch simplifies the packet by removing the broadcast flag and
instead more firmly relying on (and enforcing) the semantics of
transactions in the classic memory system, i.e. request packets are
routed from a master to a slave based on the address, and when they
are created they have neither a valid source, nor destination. On
their way to the slave, the request packet is updated with a source
field for all modules that multiplex packets from multiple master
(e.g. a bus). When a request packet is turned into a response packet
(at the final slave), it moves the potentially populated source field
to the destination field, and the response packet is routed through
any multiplexing components back to the master based on the
destination field.
Modules that connect multiplexing components, such as caches and
bridges store any existing source and destination field in the sender
state as a stack (just as before).
The packet constructor is simplified in that there is no longer a need
to pass the Packet::Broadcast as the destination (this was always the
case for the classic memory system). In the case of Ruby, rather than
using the parameter to the constructor we now rely on setDest, as
there is already another three-argument constructor in the packet
class.
In many places where the packet information was printed as part of
DPRINTFs, request packets would be printed with a numeric "dest" that
would always be -1 (Broadcast) and that field is now removed from the
printing.

This patch introduces port access methods that separates snoop
request/responses from normal memory request/responses. The
differentiation is made for functional, atomic and timing accesses and
builds on the introduction of master and slave ports.
Before the introduction of this patch, the packets belonging to the
different phases of the protocol (request -> [forwarded snoop request
-> snoop response]* -> response) all use the same port access
functions, even though the snoop packets flow in the opposite
direction to the normal packet. That is, a coherent master sends
normal request and receives responses, but receives snoop requests and
sends snoop responses (vice versa for the slave). These two distinct
phases now use different access functions, as described below.
Starting with the functional access, a master sends a request to a
slave through sendFunctional, and the request packet is turned into a
response before the call returns. In a system without cache coherence,
this is all that is needed from the functional interface. For the
cache-coherent scenario, a slave also sends snoop requests to coherent
masters through sendFunctionalSnoop, with responses returned within
the same packet pointer. This is currently used by the bus and caches,
and the LSQ of the O3 CPU. The send/recvFunctional and
send/recvFunctionalSnoop are moved from the Port super class to the
appropriate subclass.
Atomic accesses follow the same flow as functional accesses, with
request being sent from master to slave through sendAtomic. In the
case of cache-coherent ports, a slave can send snoop requests to a
master through sendAtomicSnoop. Just as for the functional access
methods, the atomic send and receive member functions are moved to the
appropriate subclasses.
The timing access methods are different from the functional and atomic
in that requests and responses are separated in time and
send/recvTiming are used for both directions. Hence, a master uses
sendTiming to send a request to a slave, and a slave uses sendTiming
to send a response back to a master, at a later point in time. Snoop
requests and responses travel in the opposite direction, similar to
what happens in functional and atomic accesses. With the introduction
of this patch, it is possible to determine the direction of packets in
the bus, and no longer necessary to look for both a master and a slave
port with the requested port id.
In contrast to the normal recvFunctional, recvAtomic and recvTiming
that are pure virtual functions, the recvFunctionalSnoop,
recvAtomicSnoop and recvTimingSnoop have a default implementation that
calls panic. This is to allow non-coherent master and slave ports to
not implement these functions.

This patch adds a very basic pretty-printing of the test status
(passed or failed) to highlight failing tests even more: green for
passed, and red for failed. The printing only uses ANSI it the target
output is a tty and supports ANSI colours. Hence, any regression
scripts that are outputting to files or sending e-mails etc should
still be fine.

This patch addresses a number of minor issues that cause problems when
compiling with clang >= 3.0 and gcc >= 4.6. Most importantly, it
avoids using the deprecated ext/hash_map and instead uses
unordered_map (and similarly so for the hash_set). To make use of the
new STL containers, g++ and clang has to be invoked with "-std=c++0x",
and this is now added for all gcc versions >= 4.6, and for clang >=
3.0. For gcc >= 4.3 and <= 4.5 and clang <= 3.0 we use the tr1
unordered_map to avoid the deprecation warning.
The addition of c++0x in turn causes a few problems, as the
compiler is more stringent and adds a number of new warnings. Below,
the most important issues are enumerated:
1) the use of namespaces is more strict, e.g. for isnan, and all
headers opening the entire namespace std are now fixed.
2) another other issue caused by the more stringent compiler is the
narrowing of the embedded python, which used to be a char array,
and is now unsigned char since there were values larger than 128.
3) a particularly odd issue that arose with the new c++0x behaviour is
found in range.hh, where the operator< causes gcc to complain about
the template type parsing (the "<" is interpreted as the beginning
of a template argument), and the problem seems to be related to the
begin/end members introduced for the range-type iteration, which is
a new feature in c++11.
As a minor update, this patch also fixes the build flags for the clang
debug target that used to be shared with gcc and incorrectly use
"-ggdb".

Partial backout of cset 8b223e308b08.
Although it's great that there's currently no need
for Werror=false in the current tree, some of us
have uncommitted code that still needs this option.

This patch updates the stats to reflect the changes due to the use of
std::map instead of the hash map order-dependent iteration in Ruby.
|
|
This patch fixes a bug in Ruby that caused non-deterministic
simulation when changing the underlying hash map implementation. The
reason is order-dependent behaviour in combination with iteration over
the hash map contents. The two locations where a sorted container is
assumed are now changed to make use of a std::map instead of the
unordered hash map.
With this change, the stats changes slightly and the follow-on
changeset will update the relevant statistics.

regression tester to check this functionality

This patch allows the ruby tester to support protocols where the i-cache and d-cache
are managed by seperate controllers.

This patch removes the assumption on having on single instance of
PhysicalMemory, and enables a distributed memory where the individual
memories in the system are each responsible for a single contiguous
address range.
All memories inherit from an AbstractMemory that encompasses the basic
behaviuor of a random access memory, and provides untimed access
methods. What was previously called PhysicalMemory is now
SimpleMemory, and a subclass of AbstractMemory. All future types of
memory controllers should inherit from AbstractMemory.
To enable e.g. the atomic CPU and RubyPort to access the now
distributed memory, the system has a wrapper class, called
PhysicalMemory that is aware of all the memories in the system and
their associated address ranges. This class thus acts as an
infinitely-fast bus and performs address decoding for these "shortcut"
accesses. Each memory can specify that it should not be part of the
global address map (used e.g. by the functional memories by some
testers). Moreover, each memory can be configured to be reported to
the OS configuration table, useful for populating ATAG structures, and
any potential ACPI tables.
Checkpointing support currently assumes that all memories have the
same size and organisation when creating and resuming from the
checkpoint. A future patch will enable a more flexible
re-organisation.

With recent changes to the memory system, a port cannot be assigned a peer
port twice. While making use of the Ruby memory system in FS mode, DMA
ports were assigned peer twice, once for the classic memory system
and once for the Ruby memory system. This patch removes this double
assignment of peer ports.

This patch fixes the, currently broken, Ruby example scripts to
reflect the changes in the parsing of command-line options.

|
This patch changes the behaviour of the All proxy parameter to not
only consider the direct children, but also do a pre-order depth-first
traversal of the object tree and append all results from the
children.
This is used in a later patch to find all the memories in the system,
independent of where they are located in the hierarchy.
|
|
This patch removes the physmem_port from the Atomic CPU and instead
uses the system pointer to access the physmem when using the fastmem
option. The system already keeps track of the physmem and the valid
memory address ranges, and with this patch we merely make use of that
existing functionality. As a result of this change, the overloaded
getMasterPort in the Atomic CPU can be removed, thus unifying the CPUs.
|
|
Virtual (pre-segmentation) addresses are truncated based on address size, and
any non-64 bit linear address is truncated to 32 bits. This means that real
mode addresses aren't truncated down to 16 bits after their segment bases are
added in.

|
This patch removes the DRAM memory class in preparation for updates to
the memory system, with the first one introducing an abstract memory
class, and removing the assumption of a single physical memory.
|
|
This patch removes the physMemPort from the RubySequencer and instead
uses the system pointer to access the physmem. The system already
keeps track of the physmem and the valid memory address ranges, and
with this patch we merely make use of that existing functionality. The
memory is modified so that it is possible to call the access functions
(atomic and functional) without going through the port, and the memory
is allowed to be unconnected, i.e. have no ports (since Ruby does not
attach it like the conventional memory system).

This patch introduces the notion of a master and slave port in the C++
code, thus bringing the previous classification from the Python
classes into the corresponding simulation objects and memory objects.
The patch enables us to classify behaviours into the two bins and add
assumptions and enfore compliance, also simplifying the two
interfaces. As a starting point, isSnooping is confined to a master
port, and getAddrRanges to slave ports. More of these specilisations
are to come in later patches.
The getPort function is not getMasterPort and getSlavePort, and
returns a port reference rather than a pointer as NULL would never be
a valid return value. The default implementation of these two
functions is placed in MemObject, and calls fatal.
The one drawback with this specific patch is that it requires some
code duplication, e.g. QueuedPort becomes QueuedMasterPort and
QueuedSlavePort, and BusPort becomes BusMasterPort and BusSlavePort
(avoiding multiple inheritance). With the later introduction of the
port interfaces, moving the functionality outside the port itself, a
lot of the duplicated code will disappear again.

This patch unifies where initMemProxies is called, in the init()
method of each BaseCPU subclass, before TheISA::initCPU is
called. Moreover, it also ensures that initMemProxies is called in
both full-system and syscall-emulation mode, thus unifying also across
the modes. An additional check is added in the ThreadState to ensure
that initMemProxies is only called once.

I am not too happy with the way options are added in files se.py and fs.py
currently. This patch moves all the options to the file Options.py, functions
from which are called when required.
|
|
The function is presently defined in FSConfig.py, which does not seem to be
the correct place for it.
|
|
This patch adds const access functions to the range_map to enable its use
in a const context, similar to the STL container classes.
|
|
This patch changes the name of a bitfield from W to W_FIELD to avoid
clashes with W being used as a class (typename) in the templatized
range_map. It also changes L to L_FIELD to avoid future problems. The
problem manifestes itself when the CPU includes a header that in turn
includes range_map.hh. The relevant parts of the decoder are updated.

This patch fixes a compilation error caused by a length mismatch on
32-bit hosts. The ifdef and sprintf is replaced by a csprintf.
