2013-05-14arm: Add support for the m5fail pseudo-opAndreas Sandberg
2013-05-14arm: Fix compilation error in m5 utilityAndreas Sandberg
Changeset 5ca6098b9560 accidentally broke the m5 utility. This changeset adds the missing co-processor call used to trigger the pseudo-op in ARM mode and fixes an alignment issue that caused some pseudo-ops to leave thumb mode.
2013-05-07arm: Make libm5 a dependency of the m5 utilityAndreas Sandberg
The m5 utility wasn't relinked properly since libm5.a wasn't a dependency of the utility. This changeset addresses that issue.
2013-05-02kvm: Add a stat counting number of instructions executedAndreas Sandberg
This changeset adds a 'numInsts' stat to the KVM-based CPU. It also cleans up the variable names in kvmRun to make the distinction between host cycles and estimated simulated cycles clearer. As a bonus feature, it also fixes a warning (unreferenced variable) when compiling in fast mode.
2013-05-02kvm: Add checkpoint debug printAndreas Sandberg
Add a debug print (when the Checkpoint debug flag is set) on serialize and unserialize. Additionally, dump the KVM state before serializing. The KVM state isn't dumped after unserializing since the state is loaded lazily on the next KVM entry.
2013-05-02kvm: Make MMIO requests uncacheableAndreas Sandberg
Device accesses are normally uncacheable. This change probably doesn't make any difference since we normally disable caching when KVM is active. However, there might be devices that check this, so we'd better enable this flag to be safe.
2013-05-02sim: Add support for m5fail in pseudoInst()Andreas Sandberg
2013-04-28config: Added memory type to t1000 regressionAndreas Hansson
This patch adds the memory type parameter to the t1000 regression.
2013-04-23x86: corrects vsyscall address for gettimeofdayMichael Levenhagen
The vsyscall address for gettimeofday is 0xffffffffff600000ul. The offset therefore should be 0x0 instead of 0x410. This can be cross checked with the file sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/gettimeofday.c in source of glibc. Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>
2013-04-23x86: enable gettimeofday and getppid system callsMichael Levenhagen

2013-04-23config: Fix mem-type option not used in ruby_fs scriptMarco Elver
This fixes missing mem-type arguments to makeLinuxAlphaRubySystem and makeLinuxX86System after a recent changeset allowing mem-type to be configured via options missed fixing these calls. Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>
2013-04-23sim: Fix two bugs relating to software caching of PageTable entries.Mitch Hayenga
The existing implementation can read uninitialized data or stale information from the cached PageTable entries. 1) Add a valid bit for the cache entries. Simply using zero for the virtual address to signify invalid entries is not sufficient. Speculative, wrong-path accesses frequently access page zero. The current implementation would return a uninitialized TLB entry when address zero was accessed and the PageTable cache entry was invalid. 2) When unmapping/mapping/remaping a page, invalidate the corresponding PageTable cache entry if one already exists.
2013-04-23cpu: Fix TraceGen flag initalisationAndreas Hansson
This patch ensures the flags are always initialised.

2013-04-23x86, stats: updates due to lret bugfixNilay Vaish
2013-04-23x86: increment the stack pointer in lret instChristian Menard
The 'lret' instruction reloads instruction pointer and code segment from the stack and then pops them. But the popping part is missing from the current implementation. This caused incorrect behavior in some code related to the Fiasco OS. Microops are being added to rectify the behavior of the instruction. Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>
2013-04-23ruby: patch checkpoint restore with garnetNilay Vaish
Due to recent changes to clocking system in Ruby and the way Ruby restores state from a checkpoint, garnet was failing to run from a checkpointed state. The problem is that Ruby resets the time to zero while warming up the caches. If any component records a local copy of the time (read calls curCycle()) before the simulation has started, then that component will not operate until that time is reached. In the context of this particular patch, the Garnet Network class calls curCycle() at multiple places. Any non-operational component can block in requests in the memory system, which the system interprets as a deadlock. This patch makes changes so that Garnet can successfully run from checkpointed state. It adds a globally visible time at which the actual execution started. This time is initialized in RubySystem::startup() function. This variable is only meant for components with in Ruby. This replaces the private variable that was maintained within Garnet since it is not possible to figure out the correct time when the value of this variable can be set. The patch also does away with all cases where curCycle() is called with in some Ruby component before the system has actually started executing. This is required due to the quirky manner in which ruby restores from a checkpoint.
2013-04-22mem: Address mapping with fine-grained channel interleavingAndreas Hansson
This patch adds an address mapping scheme where the channel interleaving takes place on a cache line granularity. It is similar to the existing RaBaChCo that interleaves on a DRAM page, but should give higher performance when there is less locality in the address stream.
2013-04-22mem: More descriptive enum names for address mappingAndreas Hansson
This patch changes the slightly ambigious names used for the address mapping scheme to be more descriptive, and actually spell out what they do. With this patch we also open up for adding more flavours of open- and close-type mappings, i.e. interleaving across channels with the open map.
2013-04-22cpu: Use request flags in trace playbackAndreas Hansson
This patch changes the TraceGen such that it uses the optional request flags from the protobuf trace if they are present.
2013-04-22cpu: Make the generators usable outside the TrafficGen moduleAndreas Hansson
This patch enables the use of the generator behaviours outside the TrafficGen module. This is useful e.g. to allow packet replay modes for other devices in the system without having to replace them with a TrafficGen in the configuration files. This change also enables more specific behaviours to be composed as specific modules, e.g. BaseBandModem can use a number of generators and have application-specific parameters based around a specific set of generators.
2013-04-22config: Add a mem-type config option to se/fs scriptsAndreas Hansson
This patch enables selection of the memory controller class through a mem-type command-line option. Behind the scenes, this option is treated much like the cpu-type, and a similar framework is used to resolve the valid options, and translate the short-hand description to a valid class. The regression scripts are updated with a hardcoded memory class for the moment. The best solution going forward is probably to get the memory out of the makeSystem functions, but Ruby complicates things as it does not connect the memory controller to the membus. --HG-- rename : configs/common/CpuConfig.py => configs/common/MemConfig.py
2013-04-22mem: Add a WideIO DRAM configurationAndreas Hansson
This patch adds a WideIO 200 MHz configuration that can be used as a baseline to compare with DDRx and LPDDRx. Note that it is a single channel and that it should be replicated 4 times. It is based on publically available information and attempts to capture an envisioned 8 Gbit single-die part (i.e. without TSVs).
2013-04-22mem: Adding verbose debug output in the memory systemUri Wiener
This patch provides useful printouts throughut the memory system. This includes pretty-printed cache tags and function call messages (call-stack like).
2013-04-22mem: Replace check with panic where inhibited should not happenAndreas Hansson
This patch changes the SimpleTimingPort and RubyPort to panic on inhibited requests as this should never happen in either of the cases. The SimpleTimingPort is only used for the I/O devices PIO port and the DMA devices config port and should thus never see an inhibited request. Similarly, the SimpleTimingPort is also used for the MessagePort in x86, and there should also not be any cases where the port sees an inhibited request.
2013-04-22stats: Update stats for O3 switching fix.Ali Saidi
2013-04-22kvm: Add support for pseudo-ops on ARMAndreas Sandberg
This changeset adds support for m5 pseudo-ops when running in kvm-mode. Unfortunately, we can't trap the normal gem5 co-processor entry in KVM (it doesn't seem to be possible to trap accesses to non-existing co-processors). We therefore use BZJ instructions to cause a trap from virtualized mode into gem5. The BZJ instruction is becomes a normal branch to the gem5 fallback code when running in simulated mode, which means that this patch does not need to change the ARM ISA-specific code. Note: This requires a patched host kernel.
2013-04-22sim: Add a helper function to execute pseudo instructionsAndreas Sandberg
All architectures execute m5 pseudo instructions by setting up arguments according to the ABI and executing a magic instruction that contains an operation number. Handling of such instructions is currently spread across the different ISA implementations. This changeset introduces the PseudoInst::pseudoInst function which handles most of this in an architecture independent way. This is function is mainly intended to be used from KVM, but can also be used from the simulated CPUs.
2013-04-22kvm: Add support for state dumping on ARMAndreas Sandberg
2013-04-22kvm: Add basic support for ARMAndreas Sandberg
Architecture specific limitations: * LPAE is currently not supported by gem5. We therefore panic if LPAE is enabled when returning to gem5. * The co-processor based interface to the architected timer is unsupported. We can't support this due to limitations in the KVM API on ARM. * M5 ops are currently not supported. This requires either a kernel hack or a memory mapped device that handles the guest<->m5 interface.
2013-04-22arm: Add a method to query interrupt state ignoring CPSR masksAndreas Sandberg
Add the method checkRaw to ArmISA::Interrupts. This method can be used to query the raw state (ignoring CPSR masks) of an interrupt. It is primarily intended for hardware virtualized CPUs.
2013-04-22kvm: Add experimental support for a perf-based execution timerAndreas Sandberg
Add support for using the CPU cycle counter instead of a normal POSIX timer to generate timed exits to gem5. This should, in theory, provide better resolution when requesting timer signals. The perf-based timer requires a fairly recent kernel since it requires a working PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD ioctl. This ioctl has existed in the kernel for a long time, but it used to be completely broken due to an inverted match when the kernel copied things from user space. Additionally, the ioctl does not change the sample period correctly on all kernel versions which implement it. It is currently only known to work reliably on kernel version 3.7 and above on ARM.
2013-04-22tests: Add support for testing KVM-based CPUsAndreas Sandberg
This changeset adds support for initializing a KVM VM in the BaseSystem test class and adds the following methods in run.py: require_file -- Test if a file exists and abort/skip if not. require_kvm -- Test if KVM support has been compiled into gem5 (i.e., BaseKvmCPU exists) and the KVM device exists on the host.
2013-04-22config: Add a KVM VM to systems with KVM CPUsAndreas Sandberg
KVM-based CPUs need a KVM VM object in the system to manage system-global KVM stuff (VM creation, interrupt delivery, memory managment, etc.). This changeset adds a VM to the system if KVM has been enabled at compile time (the BaseKvmCPU object exists) and a KVM-based CPU has been selected at runtime.
2013-04-22kvm: Avoid synchronizing the TC on every KVM exitAndreas Sandberg
Reduce the number of KVM->TC synchronizations by overloading the getContext() method and only request an update when the TC is requested as opposed to every time KVM returns to gem5.
2013-04-22kvm: Basic support for hardware virtualized CPUsAndreas Sandberg
This changeset introduces the architecture independent parts required to support KVM-accelerated CPUs. It introduces two new simulation objects: KvmVM -- The KVM VM is a component shared between all CPUs in a shared memory domain. It is typically instantiated as a child of the system object in the simulation hierarchy. It provides access to KVM VM specific interfaces. BaseKvmCPU -- Abstract base class for all KVM-based CPUs. Architecture dependent CPU implementations inherit from this class and implement the following methods: * updateKvmState() -- Update the architecture-dependent KVM state from the gem5 thread context associated with the CPU. * updateThreadContext() -- Update the thread context from the architecture-dependent KVM state. * dump() -- Dump the KVM state using (optional). In order to deliver interrupts to the guest, CPU implementations typically override the tick() method and check for, and deliver, interrupts prior to entering KVM. Hardware-virutalized CPU currently have the following limitations: * SE mode is not supported. * PC events are not supported. * Timing statistics are currently very limited. The current approach simply scales the host cycles with a user-configurable factor. * The simulated system must not contain any caches. * Since cycle counts are approximate, there is no way to request an exact number of cycles (or instructions) to be executed by the CPU. * Hardware virtualized CPUs and gem5 CPUs must not execute at the same time in the same simulator instance. * Only single-CPU systems can be simulated. * Remote GDB connections to the guest system are not supported. Additionally, m5ops requires an architecture specific interface and might not be supported.

2013-04-22arm: Enable support for triggering a sim panic on kernel panicsAndreas Sandberg
Add the options 'panic_on_panic' and 'panic_on_oops' to the LinuxArmSystem SimObject. When these option are enabled, the simulator panics when the guest kernel panics or oopses. Enable panic on panic and panic on oops in ARM-based test cases.
2013-04-22sim: separate nextCycle() and clockEdge() in clockedObjectsDam Sunwoo
Previously, nextCycle() could return the *current* cycle if the current tick was already aligned with the clock edge. This behavior is not only confusing (not quite what the function name implies), but also caused problems in the drainResume() function. When exiting/re-entering the sim loop (e.g., to take checkpoints), the CPUs will drain and resume. Due to the previous behavior of nextCycle(), the CPU tick events were being rescheduled in the same ticks that were already processed before draining. This caused divergence from runs that did not exit/re-entered the sim loop. (Initially a cycle difference, but a significant impact later on.) This patch separates out the two behaviors (nextCycle() and clockEdge()), uses nextCycle() in drainResume, and uses clockEdge() everywhere else. Nothing (other than name) should change except for the drainResume timing.
2013-04-22cpu: generate SimPoint basic block vector profilesDam Sunwoo
This patch is based on http://reviews.m5sim.org/r/1474/ originally written by Mitch Hayenga. Basic block vectors are generated (simpoint.bb.gz in simout folder) based on start and end addresses of basic blocks. Some comments to the original patch are addressed and hooks are added to create and resume from checkpoints based on instruction counts dictated by external SimPoint analysis tools. SimPoint creation/resuming options will be implemented as a separate patch.
2013-04-22ARM: Add support for HDLCD controller for TC2 and newer Versatile Express tiles.Chris Emmons
Newer core tiles / daughterboards for the Versatile Express platform have an HDLCD controller that supports HD-quality output. This patch adds an implementation of the controller.
2013-04-22sim: Add helper functions that add PCEvents with custom argumentsAndreas Sandberg
This changeset adds support for forwarding arguments to the PC event constructors to following methods: addKernelFuncEvent addFuncEvent Additionally, this changeset adds the following helper method to the System base class: addFuncEventOrPanic - Hook a PCEvent to a symbol, panic on failure. addKernelFuncEventOrPanic - Hook a PCEvent to a kernel symbol, panic on failure. System implementations have been updated to use the new functionality where appropriate.
2013-04-22cpu: fix a switching issue with the o3 cpu.Ali Saidi
This change fixes the switcheroo test that broke earlier this month. The code that was checking for the pipeline being blocked wasn't checking for a pending translation, only for a icache access.

2013-04-17base: load weak symbols from object fileDeyuan Guo ext:(%2C%20Nilay%20Vaish%20%3Cnilay%40cs.wisc.edu%3E)
Without loading weak symbols into gem5, some function names and the given PC cannot correspond correctly, because the binding attributes of unction names in an ELF file are not only STB_GLOBAL or STB_LOCAL, but also STB_WEAK. This patch adds a function for loading weak symbols. Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>
2013-04-17arm: set ldr_ret_uop as conditional or unconditional controlNathanael Premillieu
This patch adds a missing flag to the ldr_ret_uop microop instruction. The flag is added when the instruction is used, not directly in the constructor of the instruction. Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>"
