Drops an unused variable and marks three variables as const.
|
|
The aim is to ultimately do away with the static function
Network::getNumberOfVirtualNetworks().

We no longer use the C library based random number generator: random().
Instead we use the C++ library provided rng. So setting the random seed for
the RubySystem class has no effect. Hence the variable and the corresponding
option are being dropped.

Refactored the code in operateVnet(), moved partly to a new function
operateMessageBuffer().

Currently the sequencer calls the function setMRU that updates the replacement
policy structures with the first level caches. While functionally this is
correct, the problem is that this requires calling findTagInSet() which is an
expensive function. This patch removes the calls to setMRU from the sequencer.
All controllers should now update the replacement policy on their own.
The set and the way index for a given cache entry can be found within the
AbstractCacheEntry structure. Use these indicies to update the replacement
policy structures.

These types are being replaced with uint64_t and int64_t.

Before this patch, while one could declare / define a function with default
argument values, but the actual function call would require one to specify
all the arguments. This patch changes the check for function arguments.
Now a function call needs to specify arguments that are at least as much as
those with default values and at most the total number of arguments taken
as input by the function.
|
|
Both FuncCallExprAST and MethodCallExprAST had code for checking the arguments
with which a function is being called. The patch does away with this
duplication. Now the code for checking function call arguments resides in the
Func class.

This is in preparation for adding a second arugment to the lookup
function for the CacheMemory class. The change to *.sm files was made using
the following sed command:
sed -i 's/\[\([0-9A-Za-z._()]*\)\]/.lookup(\1)/' src/mem/protocol/*.sm
|
|
The sequencer takes care of llsc accesses by calling upon functions
from the CacheMemory. This is unnecessary once the required CacheEntry object
is available. Thus some of the calls to findTagInSet() are avoided.

This patch eliminates the type Address defined by the ruby memory system.
This memory system would now use the type Addr that is in use by the
rest of the system.
|
|
Avoid clash between type Addr and variable name Addr.

Expose MessageBuffers from SLICC controllers as SimObjects that can be
manipulated in Python. This patch has numerous benefits:
1) First and foremost, it exposes MessageBuffers as SimObjects that can be
manipulated in Python code. This allows parameters to be set and checked in
Python code to avoid obfuscating parameters within protocol files. Further, now
as SimObjects, MessageBuffer parameters are printed to config output files as a
way to track parameters across simulations (e.g. buffer sizes)
2) Cleans up special-case code for responseFromMemory buffers, and aligns their
instantiation and use with mandatoryQueue buffers. These two special buffers
are the only MessageBuffers that are exposed to components outside of SLICC
controllers, and they're both slave ends of these buffers. They should be
exposed outside of SLICC in the same way, and this patch does it.
3) Distinguishes buffer-specific parameters from buffer-to-network parameters.
Specifically, buffer size, randomization, ordering, recycle latency, and ports
are all specific to a MessageBuffer, while the virtual network ID and type are
intrinsics of how the buffer is connected to network ports. The former are
specified in the Python object, while the latter are specified in the
controller *.sm files. Unlike buffer-specific parameters, which may need to
change depending on the simulated system structure, buffer-to-network
parameters can be specified statically for most or all different simulated
systems.

CacheMemory and DirectoryMemory lookup functions return pointers to entries
stored in the memory. Bring PerfectCacheMemory in line with this convention,
and clean up SLICC code generation that was in place solely to handle
references like that which was returned by PerfectCacheMemory::lookup.

The RubyCache (CacheMemory) latency parameter is only used for top-level caches
instantiated for Ruby coherence protocols. However, the top-level cache hit
latency is assessed by the Sequencer as accesses flow through to the cache
hierarchy. Further, protocol state machines should be enforcing these cache hit
latencies, but RubyCaches do not expose their latency to any existng state
machines through the SLICC/C++ interface. Thus, the RubyCache latency parameter
is superfluous for all caches. This is confusing for users.
As a step toward pushing L0/L1 cache hit latency into the top-level cache
controllers, move their latencies out of the RubyCache declarations and over to
their Sequencers. Eventually, these Sequencer parameters should be exposed as
parameters to the top-level cache controllers, which should assess the latency.
NOTE: Assessing these latencies in the cache controllers will require modifying
each to eliminate instantaneous Ruby hit callbacks in transitions that finish
accesses, which is likely a large undertaking.

The Packet::get() and Packet::set() methods both have very strange
semantics. Currently, they automatically convert between the guest
system's endianness and the host system's endianness. This behavior is
usually undesired and unexpected.
This patch introduces three new method pairs to access data:
* getLE() / setLE() - Get data stored as little endian.
* getBE() / setBE() - Get data stored as big endian.
* get(ByteOrder) / set(v, ByteOrder) - Configurable endianness
For example, a little endian device that is receiving a write request
will use teh getLE() method to get the data from the packet.
The old interface will be deprecated once all existing devices have
been ported to the new interface.

Timing generator for a pixel-based display. The timing generator is
intended for display processors driving a standard rasterized
display. The simplest possible display processor needs to derive from
this class and override the nextPixel() method to feed the display
with pixel data.
Pixels are ordered relative to the top left corner of the
display. Scan lines appear in the following order:
* Vertical Sync (starting at line 0)
* Vertical back porch
* Visible lines
* Vertical front porch
Pixel order within a scan line:
* Horizontal Sync
* Horizontal Back Porch
* Visible pixels
* Horizontal Front Porch
All events in the timing generator are automatically suspended on a
drain() request and restarted on drainResume(). This is conceptually
equivalent to clock gating when the pixel clock while the system is
draining. By gating the pixel clock, we prevent display controllers
from disturbing a memory system that is about to drain.

Add support for oscillators that can be programmed using the RealView
/ Versatile Express configuration interface. These oscillators are
typically used for things like the pixel clock in the display
controller.
The default configurations support the oscillators from a Versatile
Express motherboard (V2M-P1) with a CoreTile Express A15x2.

Add a simple DMA engine that sits behind a FIFO. This engine can be
used by devices that need to read large amounts of data (e.g., display
controllers). Most aspects of the controller, such as FIFO size,
maximum number of in-flight accesses, and maximum request sizes can be
configured.
The DMA copies blocks of data into its FIFO. Transfers are initiated
with a call to startFill() command that takes a start address and a
size. Advanced users can create a derived class that overrides the
onEndOfBlock() callback that is triggered when the last request to a
block has been issued. At this point, the DMA engine is ready to start
fetching a new block of data, potentially from a different address
range.
The DMA engine stops issuing new requests while it is draining. Care
must be taken to ensure that devices that are fed by a DMA engine are
suspended while the system is draining to avoid buffer underruns.

Split ClockedObject into two classes: Clocked that provides the basic
clock functionality, and ClockedObject that inherits from Clocked and
SimObject to provide the functionality of the old ClockedObject.

The CircleBuf class has at least one bug causing it to overwrite the
wrong elements when wrapping. The current code has a lot of unused
functionality and duplicated code. This changeset replaces the old
implementation with a new version that supports serialization and
arbitrary types in the buffer (not just char).
|
|
The i8042 device drops the contents of a PS2 device's buffer when
serializing, which results in corrupted PS2 state when continuing
simulation after a checkpoint. This changeset fixes this bug and
transitions the i8042 model to use the new serialization API that
requires the serialize() method to be const.
|
|
This changeset transitions the Sinic device to the new serialization
framework that requires the serialization method to be constant.
|
|
Context IDs used to be declared as ad hoc (usually as int). This
changeset introduces a typedef for ContextIDs and a constant for
invalid context IDs.

Declare the constructor and all of the operators that don't change the
state of a Cycles instance as constexpr. This makes it possible to use
Cycles as a static constant and allows the compiler to evaulate simple
expressions at compile time. An unfortunate side-effect of this is
that we cannot use assertions since C++11 doesn't support them in
constexpr functions. As a workaround, we throw an invalid_argument
exception when the assert would have triggered. A nice side-effect of
this is that the compiler will evaluate the "assertion" at compile
time when an expression involving Cycles can be statically evaluated.

This patch removes the extraneous flags and attributes from the
request and packet, and simply leaves the new commands. The change
introduced when adding acquire/release breaks all compatibility with
existing traces, and there is really no need for any new flags and
attributes. The commands should be sufficient.
This patch fixes packet tracing (urgent), and also removes the
unnecessary complexity.

Fix comments that got outdated by the draining rewrite. Also fixup
constness for methods in the querying drain state in the DrainManager.

This patch enhances the functionality of the DRAM sweep script to not
only plot the bandwidth utilisation, but also total power and power
efficiency. To do so, a command-line switch is added, and a bit more
data extracted from the stats.
