2012-12-11regressions: stats update due to stats from ruby prefetcherNilay Vaish
2012-12-11ruby: add support for prefetching to MESI protocolNilay Vaish
2012-12-11ruby: modify the directed tester to read/write streamsNilay Vaish
The directed tester supports only generating only read or only write accesses. The patch modifies the tester to support streams that have both read and write accesses.
2012-12-11ruby: change slicc to allow for constructor argsNilay Vaish
The patch adds support to slicc for recognizing arguments that should be passed to the constructor of a class. I did not like the fact that an explicit check was being carried on the type 'TBETable' to figure out the arguments to be passed to the constructor. The patch also moves some of the member variables that are declared for all the controllers to the base class AbstractController.
2012-12-11ruby: add a prefetcherNilay Vaish
This patch adds a prefetcher for the ruby memory system. The prefetcher is based on a prefetcher implemented by others (well, I don't know who wrote the original). The prefetcher does stride-based prefetching, both unit and non-unit. It obseves the misses in the cache and trains on these. After the training period is over, the prefetcher starts issuing prefetch requests to the controller.

2012-12-06TournamentBP: Fix some bugs with table sizes and countersErik Tomusk
globalHistoryBits, globalPredictorSize, and choicePredictorSize are decoupled. globalHistoryBits controls how much history is kept, global and choice predictor sizes control how much of that history is used when accessing predictor tables. This way, global and choice predictors can actually be different sizes, and it is no longer possible to walk off the predictor arrays and cause a seg fault. There are now individual thresholds for choice, global, and local saturating counters, so that taken/not taken decisions are correct even when the predictors' counters' sizes are different. The interface for localPredictorSize has been removed from TournamentBP because the value can be calculated from localHistoryBits. Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>

2012-11-19config: Fix description of checkpoint option from cycle to tickAndreas Hansson
This patch merely updates the description of the "take-checkpoints" option to reflect that it is specified in ticks and not in cycles.
2012-11-16sim: have a curTick per eventqNilay Vaish
This patch adds a _curTick variable to an eventq. This variable is updated whenever an event is serviced in function serviceOne(), or all events upto a particular time are processed in function serviceEvents(). This change helps when there are eventqs that do not make use of curTick for scheduling events.
2012-11-10regressions: stats update due to ruby functional access patchNilay Vaish
2012-11-10ruby: support functional accesses in garnet flexible networkNilay Vaish
2012-11-10ruby: bug in functionalRead, revert recent changesNilay Vaish
Recent changes to functionalRead() in the memory system was not correct. The change allowed for returning data from the first message found in the buffers of the memory system. This is not correct since it is possible that a timing message has data from an older state of the block. The changes are being reverted.
2012-11-08mem: Fix DRAM draining to ensure write queue is emptyAndreas Hansson
This patch fixes the draining of the SimpleDRAM controller model. The controller performs buffering of writes and normally there is no need to ever empty the write buffer (if you have a fast on-chip memory, then use it). The patch adds checks to ensure the write buffer is drained when the controller is asked to do so.

2012-11-02ruby: reset and dump stats along with reset of the systemHamid Reza Khaleghzadeh ext:(%2C%20Lluc%20Alvarez%20%3Clluc.alvarez%40bsc.es%3E%2C%20Nilay%20Vaish%20%3Cnilay%40cs.wisc.edu%3E)
This patch adds support to ruby so that the statistics maintained by ruby are reset/dumped when the statistics for the rest of the system are reset/dumped. For resetting the statistics, ruby now provides the resetStats() function that a sim object can provide. As a consequence, the clearStats() function has been removed from RubySystem. For dumping stats, Ruby now adds a callback event to the dumpStatsQueue. The exit callback that ruby used to add earlier is being removed. Created by: Hamid Reza Khaleghzadeh.

2012-11-02mem: Add support for writing back and flushing cachesAndreas Sandberg
This patch adds support for the following optional drain methods in the classical memory system's cache model: memWriteback() - Write back all dirty cache lines to memory using functional accesses. memInvalidate() - Invalidate all cache lines. Dirty cache lines are lost unless a writeback is requested. Since memWriteback() is called when checkpointing systems, this patch adds support for checkpointing systems with caches. The serialization code now checks whether there are any dirty lines in the cache. If there are dirty lines in the cache, the checkpoint is flagged as bad and a warning is printed.
2012-11-02sim: Add drain methods to request additional cleanup operationsAndreas Sandberg
This patch adds the following two methods to the Drainable base class: memWriteback() - Write back all dirty cache lines to memory using functional accesses. memInvalidate() - Invalidate memory system buffers. Dirty data won't be written back. Specifying calling memWriteback() after draining will allow us to checkpoint systems with caches. memInvalidate() can be used to drop memory system buffers in preparation for switching to an accelerated CPU model that bypasses the gem5 memory system (e.g., hardware virtualized CPUs). Note: This patch only adds the methods to Drainable, the code for flushing the TLB and the cache is committed separately.
2012-11-02sim: Add SWIG interface for SerializableAndreas Sandberg
This changeset adds a SWIG interface for the Serializable class, which fixes a warning when compiling the SWIG interface for the event queue. Currently, the only method exported is the name() method.
2012-11-02python: Rename doDrain()->drain() and make it do the right thingAndreas Sandberg
There is no point in exporting the old drain() method in Simulate.py. It should only be used internally by doDrain(). This patch moves the old drain() method into doDrain() and renames doDrain() to drain().
2012-11-02sim: Reuse the code to change memory mode.Andreas Sandberg
changeToAtomic and changeToTiming both do essentially the same thing, they check the type of their input argument, drain the system, and switch to the desired memory mode. This patch moves all of that code to a separate method (changeMemoryMode) and calls that from both changeToAtomic and changeToTiming.
2012-11-02sim: Move the draining interface into a separate base classAndreas Sandberg
This patch moves the draining interface from SimObject to a separate class that can be used by any object needing draining. However, objects not visible to the Python code (i.e., objects not deriving from SimObject) still depend on their parents informing them when to drain. This patch also gets rid of the CountedDrainEvent (which isn't really an event) and replaces it with a DrainManager.
2012-11-02cpu: O3 add a header declaring the DerivO3CPUAndreas Sandberg
SWIG needs a complete declaration of all wrapped objects. This patch adds a header file with the DerivO3CPU class and includes it in the SWIG interface. --HG-- rename : src/cpu/o3/cpu_builder.cc => src/cpu/o3/deriv.cc
2012-11-02cpu: Add header files for checker CPUsAndreas Sandberg
In order to create reliable SWIG wrappers, we need to include the declaration of the wrapped class in the SWIG file. Previously, we didn't expose the declaration of checker CPUs. This patch adds header files for such CPUs and include them in the SWIG wrapper. --HG-- rename : src/cpu/dummy_checker_builder.cc => src/cpu/dummy_checker.cc rename : src/cpu/o3/checker_builder.cc => src/cpu/o3/checker.cc
2012-11-02dev: Fix ethernet device inheritance structureAndreas Sandberg
The Python wrappers and the C++ should have the same object structure. If this is not the case, bad things will happen when the SWIG wrappers cast between an object and any of its base classes. This was not the case for NSGigE and Sinic devices. This patch makes NSGigE and Sinic inherit from the new EtherDevBase class, which in turn inherits from EtherDevice. As a bonus, this removes some duplicated statistics from the Sinic device.
2012-11-02sim: Include object header files in SWIG interfacesAndreas Sandberg
When casting objects in the generated SWIG interfaces, SWIG uses classical C-style casts ( (Foo *)bar; ). In some cases, this can degenerate into the equivalent of a reinterpret_cast (mainly if only a forward declaration of the type is available). This usually works for most compilers, but it is known to break if multiple inheritance is used anywhere in the object hierarchy. This patch introduces the cxx_header attribute to Python SimObject definitions, which should be used to specify a header to include in the SWIG interface. The header should include the declaration of the wrapped object. We currently don't enforce header the use of the header attribute, but a warning will be generated for objects that do not use it.
2012-11-02pci: Make Python wrapper cast to the right typeAndreas Sandberg
The PCI base class is PciDev and not PciDevice, which is used by the Python world. Make sure this is reflected in the wrapper code.

2012-10-09m5: Expose m5 pseudo-instructions to C/C++ via a static libraryJames Clarkson
Updated the util/m5/Makefile.arm so that m5op_arm.S is used to create a static library - libm5.a. Allowing users to insert m5 psuedo-instructions into their applications for fine-grained checkpointing, switching cpus or dumping statistics. e.g. #include <m5op.h> void foo(){ ... m5_reset_stats(<delay>,<period>) m5_work_begin(<workid>,<threadid>); ... m5_work_end(<workid>,<threadid>); m5_dump_stats(<delay>,<period>); }
2012-11-02ARM: dump stats and process info on context switchesDam Sunwoo
This patch enables dumping statistics and Linux process information on context switch boundaries (__switch_to() calls) that are used for Streamline integration (a graphical statistics viewer from ARM).
2012-11-02base: Fix a few incorrectly handled print format casesChander Sudanthi
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.
2012-11-02base: split out the VncServer into a VncInput and Server classesChander Sudanthi
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. --HG-- rename : src/base/vnc/VncServer.py => src/base/vnc/Vnc.py rename : src/base/vnc/vncserver.cc => src/base/vnc/vncinput.cc rename : src/base/vnc/vncserver.hh => src/base/vnc/vncinput.hh
2012-11-02ISA: generic Linux thread info supportDam Sunwoo
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.

2012-11-02Partly revert [4f54b0f229b5] and move draining to m5.changeToTimingAndreas Sandberg
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.
2012-10-31stats: Update stats for fixed simple-atomic-mp configAndreas Hansson

This patch fixes a minor typo that managed to sneak into the simple-atomic-mp regression configuration.
2012-10-30stats: Update stats for unified cache configurationAndreas Hansson
This patch updates the stats to reflect the changes in the L2 MSHRs, as the latter are now uniform across the regressions.
2012-10-30config: Unify caches used in regressions and adjust L2 MSHRsAndreas Hansson
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.
