This change fixes a small bug in the arm copyRegs() code where some registers
wouldn't be copied if the processor was in a mode other than MODE_USER.
Additionally, this change simplifies the way the O3 switchCpu code works by
utilizing TheISA::copyRegs() to copy the required context information
rather than the adhoc copying that goes on in the CPU model. The current code
makes assumptions about the visibility of int and float registers that aren't
true for all architectures in FS mode.

Only certain bits of the cpacr can be written, some must be equal.
Mult instructions that write the same register should do something sane
|
|
Consolidate all code to handle ITSTATE in the PCState object rather than
touching a variety of structures/objects.
|
|
All the m5op parameters are 64 bits, but we were only sending 32 bits;
and the static register indexes were incorrectly specified.

The comment in the code suggests that the checking granularity should be 16
bytes, however in reality the shift by 8 is 256 bytes which seems much
larger than required.

Fixed an error reguarding DMA for uninprocessor systems. Basically removed an
overly agressive optimization that lead to inconsistent state between the
cache and the directory.

This function duplicates the functionality of allocate() exactly, except that it does not return
a return value. In protocols where you just want to allocate a block
but do not want that block to be your implicitly passed cache_entry, use this function.
Otherwise, SLICC will complain if you do not consume the pointer returned by allocate(),
and if you do a dummy assignment Entry foo := cache.allocate(address), the C++
compiler will complain of an unused variable. This is kind of a hack to get around
those issues, but suggestions welcome.

Before this changeset, all local variables of type Entry and TBE were considered
to be pointers, but an immediate use of said variables would not be automatically
deferenced in SLICC-generated code. Instead, deferences occurred when such
variables were passed to functions, and were automatically dereferenced in
the bodies of the functions (e.g. the implicitly passed cache_entry).
This is a more general way to do it, which leaves in place the
assumption that parameters to functions and local variables of type AbstractCacheEntry
and TBE are always pointers, but instead of dereferencing to access member variables
on a contextual basis, the dereferencing automatically occurs on a type basis at the
moment a member is being accessed. So, now, things you can do that you couldn't before
include:
Entry foo := getCacheEntry(address);
cache_entry.DataBlk := foo.DataBlk;
or
cache_entry.DataBlk := getCacheEntry(address).DataBlk;
or even
cache_entry.DataBlk := static_cast(Entry, pointer, cache.lookup(address)).DataBlk;

This is a substitute for MessageBuffers between controllers where you don't
want messages to actually go through the Network, because requests/responses can
always get reordered wrt to one another (even if you turn off Randomization and turn on Ordered)
because you are, after all, going through a network with contention. For systems where you model
multiple controllers that are very tightly coupled and do not actually go through a network,
it is a pain to have to write a coherence protocol to account for mixed up request/response orderings
despite the fact that it's completely unrealistic. This is *not* meant as a substitute for real
MessageBuffers when messages do in fact go over a network.

It is useful for Ruby to understand from whence request packets came.
This has all request packets going into Ruby pass the contextId value, if
it exists. This supplants the old libruby proc_id value passed around in
all the Messages, so I've also removed the unused unsigned proc_id; member
generated by SLICC for all Message types.

MOESI_CMP_token is the only protocol that showed noticeable stats
differences.

***
(1): get rid of expandForMT function
MIPS is the only ISA that cares about having a piece of ISA state integrate
multiple threads so add constants for MIPS and relieve the other ISAs from having
to define this. Also, InOrder was the only core that was actively calling
this function
* * *
(2): get rid of corespecific type
The CoreSpecific type was used as a proxy to pass in HW specific params to
a MIPS CPU, but since MIPS FS hasnt been touched for awhile, it makes sense
to not force every other ISA to use CoreSpecific as well use a special
reset function to set it. That probably should go in a PowerOn reset fault
anyway.

The goal of the patch is to do away with the CacheMsg class currently in use
in coherence protocols. In place of CacheMsg, the RubyRequest class will used.
This class is already present in slicc_interface/RubyRequest.hh. In fact,
objects of class CacheMsg are generated by copying values from a RubyRequest
object.

allocation and power estimations etc

The tester code is in testers/networktest.
The tester can be invoked by configs/example/ruby_network_test.py.
A dummy coherence protocol called Network_test is also addded for network-only simulations and testing. The protocol takes in messages from the tester and just pushes them into the network in the appropriate vnet, without storing any state.

I had recently committed a patch that removed the WakeUp*.py files from the
slicc/ast directory. I had forgotten to remove the import calls for these
files from slicc/ast/__init__.py. This resulted in error while running
regressions on zizzer. This patch does the needful.

Now, instead of --bench benchname, you can do --bench bench1-bench2-bench3 and it will
set up a simulation that instantiates those three workloads. Only caveat is that now,
for sanity checking, your -n X must match the number of benches in the list.

Also, make update to understand some of the newer serialized variables
|
|
This patch converts CacheRequestType to RubyRequestType so that both the
protocol dependent and independent code makes use of the same request type.
|
|
This patch converts AccessModeType to RubyAccessMode so that both the
protocol dependent and independent code uses the same access mode.

This patch fixes the problem where Ruby would fail to call sendRetry on ports
after it nacked the port. This patch is particularly helpful for bursty dma
requests which often include several packets.
