2013-03-26mem: Add a generic id field to the packet traceAndreas Hansson
This patch adds an optional generic 64-bit identifier field to the packet trace. This can be used to store the sequential number of the instruction that gave rise to the packet, thread id, master id, "sub"-master within a larger module etc. As the field is optional it has a marginal cost if not used.
2013-03-26mem: Add optional request flags to the packet traceAndreas Hansson
This patch adds an optional flags field to the packet trace to encode the request flags that contain information about whether the request is (un)cacheable, instruction fetch, preftech etc.
2013-03-26cpu: Remove CpuPort and use MasterPort in the CPU classesAndreas Hansson
This patch changes the port in the CPU classes to use MasterPort instead of the derived CpuPort. The functions of the CpuPort are now distributed across the relevant subclasses. The port accessor functions (getInstPort and getDataPort) now return a MasterPort instead of a CpuPort. This simplifies creating derivative CPUs that do not use the CpuPort.
2013-03-25x86: Revert [02321b16685f] which breaks m5ops on x86Andreas Sandberg
Changeset 02321b16685f added m5_writefile to m5op_x86.S a second time, which causes a compilation error on when compiling for x86. This changeset reverts that changeset and fixes the error.
2013-03-22config: return exit event instead of causeNilay Vaish
changeset: a4739b6f799d made some changes that where an exit event should have been returned in place of exit cause. This patch corrects the error.

2013-03-22ruby: message buffer: correct previous errorsNilay Vaish
A recent set of patches added support for multiple clock domains to ruby. I had made some errors while writing those patches. The sender was using the receiver side clock while enqueuing a message in the buffer. Those errors became visible while creating (or restoring from) checkpoints. The errors also become visible when a multi eventq scenario occurs.
2013-03-22ruby: message buffer: remove _ptr from some variablesNilay Vaish
The names were getting too long.
2013-03-22ruby: message buffer node: used Tick in place of CyclesNilay Vaish
The message buffer node used to keep time in terms of Cycles. Since the sender and the receiver can have different clock periods, storing node time in cycles requires some conversion. Instead store the time directly in Ticks.
2013-03-22ruby: consumer: avoid using receiver side clockNilay Vaish
A set of patches was recently committed to allow multiple clock domains in ruby. In those patches, I had inadvertently made an incorrect use of the clocks. Suppose object A needs to schedule an event on object B. It was possible that A accesses B's clock to schedule the event. This is not possible in actual system. Hence, changes are being to the Consumer class so as to avoid such happenings. Note that in a multi eventq simulation, this can possibly lead to an incorrect simulation. There are two functions in the Consumer class that are used for scheduling events. The first function takes in the relative delay over the current time as the argument and adds the current time to it for scheduling the event. The second function takes in the absolute time (in ticks) for scheduling the event. The first function is now being moved to protected section of the class so that only objects of the derived classes can use it. All other objects will have to specify absolute time while scheduling an event for some consumer.
2013-03-22ruby: remove unsued profile functionsNilay Vaish
2013-03-22ruby: keep histogram of outstanding requests in seqNilay Vaish
The histogram for tracking outstanding counts per cycle is maintained in the profiler. For a parallel implementation of the memory system, we need that this histogram is maintained locally. Hence it will now be kept in the sequencer itself. The resulting histograms will be merged when the stats are printed.

2013-03-22ruby: move stall and wakeup functions to AbstractControllerNilay Vaish
These functions are currently implemented in one of the files related to Slicc. Since these are purely C++ functions, they are better suited to be in the base class.
2013-03-22ruby: connect two controllers using only message buffersNilay Vaish
This patch modifies ruby so that two controllers can be connected to each other with only message buffers in between. Before this patch, all the controllers had to be connected to the network for them to communicate with each other. With this patch, one can have protocols where a controller is not connected to the network, but communicates with another controller through a message buffer.
2013-03-22ruby: convert Topology to regular classNilay Vaish
The Topology class in Ruby does not need to inherit from SimObject class. This patch turns it into a regular class. The topology object is now created in the constructor of the Network class. All the parameters for the topology class have been moved to the network class.

2013-03-20cpu: Avoid including inorder TLBUnit to avoid gcc LTO bugAndreas Hansson
This patch comments out the inclusion of the inorder TLBUnit which is only used in the 9-stage pipeline. With the TLBUnit present, gcc >= 4.6 in combination with LTO ends up throwing away the definition of the TLBUnit destructor, and consequently fail to link. See http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53808 for more details about the bug, and http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2012-06/msg00397.html for the discussion thread that also touches on similar issues seen with clang.
2013-03-18scons: Try to use 'tcmalloc' before 'tcmalloc_minimal'Andreas Sandberg
tcmalloc_minimal doesn't support the heap checker on Debian, while tcmalloc does. Instead of always linking with tcmalloc_minimal, if it exists, we first check for tcmalloc and then use tcmalloc_minimal as a fallback.
2013-03-18scons: Avoid malloc/free compiler optimization when using tcmallocAndreas Sandberg
According to the tcmalloc readme, the recommended way of compiling applications that make use of tcmalloc is to disable compiler optimizations that make assumptions about malloc and friends. This changeset adds the necessary compiler flags for both gcc and clang. From the tcmalloc readme: "NOTE: When compiling with programs with gcc, that you plan to link with libtcmalloc, it's safest to pass in the flags -fno-builtin-malloc -fno-builtin-calloc -fno-builtin-realloc -fno-builtin-free when compiling."
2013-03-18scons: Don't explicitly add tcmalloc_minimal to LIBSAndreas Sandberg
SCons automatically adds a library to LIBS if conf.CheckLib succeeds, so there is no need to explicitly add the library.
2013-03-18scons: Include flags required to link statically with PythonAndreas Sandberg
Python requires the flags in LINKFORSHARED to be added the linker flags when linking with a statically with Python. Failing to do so can lead to errors from the Python's dynamic module loader at start up. --HG-- extra : rebase_source : e7a8daf72f4ede7ee5a4a5398a0b12e978a919b9

2013-03-14scons: Check for known buggy version of SWIG (2.0.9)Andreas Sandberg
SWIG version 2.0.9 uses fully qualified module names despite of the importing module being in the same package as the imported module. This has the unfortunate consequence of causing the following error when importing m5.internal.event: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "src/python/importer.py", line 75, in load_module exec code in mod.__dict__ File "src/python/m5/__init__.py", line 35, in <module> import internal File "src/python/importer.py", line 75, in load_module exec code in mod.__dict__ File "src/python/m5/internal/__init__.py", line 32, in <module> import event File "src/python/importer.py", line 75, in load_module exec code in mod.__dict__ File "build/X86/python/swig/event.py", line 107, in <module> class Event(m5.internal.serialize.Serializable): AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'internal' When 'event' is loaded, it triggers 'serialize' to be loaded. However, it seems like the dictionary of 'm5' isn't updated until after __init__.py terminates, which means that 'event' never sees the 'internal' attribute on 'm5'. Older versions of SWIG didn't include the fully qualified module name if the modules were in the same package.
2013-03-12cpu: Fix state transition bug in the traffic generatorAndreas Sandberg
The traffic generator used to incorrectly determine the next state in when state 0 had a non-zero probability. Due to the way the next transition was determined, state 0 could never be entered other than as an initial state. This changeset updates the transitition() method to correctly handle such cases and cases where the transition matrix is a 1x1 matrix.

2013-03-07base: Fix address range granularity calculationsAndreas Hansson
This patch fixes a bug in the address range granularity calculations. Previously it incorrectly used the high bit to establish the size of the regions created, when it should really be looking at the low bit.

This patch fixes the one-and-only gcc 4.8 compilation error, being a warning about "maybe uninitialized" in Orion.
2013-03-07x86: Make the table walker reset the packet delayAndreas Hansson
This patch fixes an issue related to the table walker recycling packets that still have a bus delay that is not accounted for. For now, we simply ignore the values and reset them to zero.

The functional write code was assuming that all writes are block sized, which may not be true for Ruby Requests. This bug can lead to a buffer overflow. Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>
2013-03-02sim: remove duplicate check on stack sizeNilay Vaish
2013-03-01mem: Add check if SimpleDRAM nextReqEvent is scheduledAndreas Hansson
This check covers a case where a retry is called from the SimpleDRAM causing a new request to appear before the DRAM itself schedules a nextReqEvent. By adding this check, the event is not scheduled twice.
2013-03-01mem: Add a method to build multi-channel DRAM configurationsAndreas Hansson
This patch adds a class method that allows easy creation of channel-interleaved multi-channel DRAM configurations. It is enabled by a class method to allow customisation of the class independent of the channel configuration. For example, the user can create a MyDDR subclass of e.g. SimpleDDR3, and then create a four-channel configuration of the subclass by calling MyDDR.makeMultiChannel(4, mem_start, mem_size).
2013-03-01stats: Update stats to reflect SimpleDRAM changesAndreas Hansson
This patch bumps the stats to reflect the slight change in how the retry is handled, and also the pruning of some redundant stats.
2013-03-01mem: SimpleDRAM variable naming and whitespace fixesAndreas Hansson
This patch fixes a number of small cosmetic issues in the SimpleDRAM module. The most important change is to move the accounting of received packets to after the check is made if the packet should be retried or not. Thus, packets are only counted if they are actually accepted.
2013-03-01mem: Add support for multi-channel DRAM configurationsAndreas Hansson
This patch adds support for multi-channel instances of the DRAM controller model by stripping away the channel bits in the address decoding. The patch relies on the availiability of address interleaving and, at this time, it is up to the user to configure the interleaving appropriately. At the moment it is assumed that the channel interleaving bits are immediately following the column bits (smallest sensible interleaving). Convenience methods for building multi-channel configurations will be added later.
2013-03-01mem: Merge interleaved ranges when creating backing storeAndreas Hansson
This patch adds merging of interleaved ranges before creating the backing stores. The backing stores are always a contigous chunk of the address space, and with this patch it is possible to have interleaved memories in the system.
2013-03-01mem: Merge ranges in bus before passing them onAndreas Hansson
This patch adds basic merging of address ranges to the bus, such that interleaved ranges are merged together before being passed on by the bus. As such, the bus aggregates the address ranges of the connected slave ports and then passes on the merged ranges through its master ports. The bus thus hides the complexity of the interleaved ranges and only exposes contigous ranges to the surrounding system. As part of this patch, the bus ranges are also cached for any future queries.
2013-02-28ruby: mesi coherence protocol: invalidate lockDibakar Gope ext:(%2C%20Nilay%20Vaish%20%3Cnilay%40cs.wisc.edu%3E)
The MESI CMP directory coherence protocol, while transitioning from SM to IM, did not invalidate the lock that it might have taken on a cache line. This patch adds an action for doing so. The problem was found by Dibakar, but I was not happy with his proposed solution. So I implemented a different solution. Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>
