This patch takes a last step in fixing issues related to uncacheable
accesses. We do not separate uncacheable memory from uncacheable
devices, and in cases where it is really memory, there are valid
scenarios where we need to snoop since we do not support cache
maintenance instructions (yet). On snooping an uncacheable access we
thus provide data if possible. In essence this makes uncacheable
accesses IO coherent.
The snoop filter is also queried to steer the snoops, but not updated
since the uncacheable accesses do not allocate a block.
|
|
This patch simplifies the overall CPU by changing the TLB caches such
that they do not forward snoops to the table walker port(s). Note that
only ARM and X86 are affected.
There is no reason for the ports to snoop as they do not actually take
any action, and from a performance point of view we are better of not
snooping more than we have to.
Should it at a later point be required to snoop for a particular TLB
design it is easy enough to add it back.
|
|
This patch ensures that we pass on information about a packet being
shared (rather than exclusive), when forwarding a packet downstream.
Without this patch there is a risk that a downstream cache considers
the line exclusive when it really isn't.
|
|
We should always check whether the cache is supposed to be forwarding snoops
before generating snoops.
|
|
This patch adds a missing counter update for the uncacheable
accesses. By updating this counter we also get a meaningful average
latency for uncacheable accesses (previously inf).
|
|
This patch simply tidies up the BaseCache parameters and removes the
unused "two_queue" parameter.
|
|
This patch changes the cache implementation to rely on virtual methods
rather than using the replacement policy as a template argument.
There is no impact on the simulation performance, and overall the
changes make it easier to modify (and subclass) the cache and/or
replacement policy.

This patch fixes a recent issue with gcc 4.9 (and possibly more) being
convinced that indices outside the array bounds are used when
initialising the FUPool members.

Both open_adaptive and close_adaptive page polices keep the page
open if a row hit is found. If a row hit is not found, close_adaptive
page policy precharges the row, and open_adaptive policy precharges
the row only if there is a bank conflict request waiting in the queue.
This patch makes the checks for above conditions simpler.

UBSan complains about negative value being shifted
|
|
Currently, each op class has a parameter issueLat that denotes the cycles after
which another op of the same class can be issued. As of now, this latency can
either be one cycle (fully pipelined) or same as execution latency of the op
(not at all pipelined). The fact that issueLat is a parameter of type Cycles
makes one believe that it can be set to any value. To avoid the confusion, the
parameter is being renamed as 'pipelined' with type boolean. If set to true,
the op would execute in a fully pipelined fashion. Otherwise, it would execute
in an unpipelined fashion.
|
|
This patch sets the default latency of the division microop to a single cycle
on x86. This is because the division instructions DIV and IDIV have been
implemented as loops of div microops, where each microop computes a single bit
of the quotient.
|
|
Same exception is raised whether division with zero is performed or the
quotient is greater than the maximum value that the provided space can hold.
Divide-by-Zero is the AMD terminology, while Divide-Error is Intel's.

This patch rolls back the move of the GDB_REG_BYTES constant, and
instead adds M5_VAR_USED.

This patch introduces a UFS host controller and a UFS device. More
information about the UFS standard can be found at the JEDEC site:
http://www.jedec.org/standards-documents/results/jesd220
Note that the model does not implement the complete standard, and as
such is not an actual implementation of UFS. The following SCSI
commands are implemented: inquiry, read, read capacity, report LUNs,
start/stop, test unit ready, verify, write, format unit, send
diagnostic, synchronize cache, mode select, mode sense, request sense,
unmap, write buffer and read buffer. This is sufficient for usage with
Linux and Android.
To interact with this model a kernel version 3.9 or above is
needed.

This adds a NAND flash timing model. This model takes the number of
planes into account and is ultimately intended to be used as a
high-level performance model for any device using flash. To access the
memory, use either readMemory or writeMemory.
To make use of the model you will need an interface model
such as UFSHostDevice, which is part of a separate patch.
At the moment the flash device is part of the ARM device tree since
the only use if the UFSHostDevice, and that in turn relies on the ARM
GIC.

This patch adds an I2C bus and base device. I2C is used to connect a
variety of sensors, and this patch serves as a starting point to
enable a range of I2C devices.

This patch fixes a few small issues to ensure gem5 compiles when using
gcc 5.1.
First, the GDB_REG_BYTES in the RemoteGDB header are, rather
surprisingly, flagged as unused for both ARM and X86. Removing them,
however, causes compilation errors as they are actually used in the
source file. Moving the constant into the class definition fixes the
issue. Possibly a gcc bug.
Second, we have an unused EthPktData constructor using auto_ptr, and
the latter is deprecated. Since the code is never used it is simply
removed.

Very small differences in IQ-specific O3 stats.
|
|
The o3 cpu instruction queue model uses the count variable to track the number
of unissued instructions in the queue. Previously, the squash method used
this variable to avoid executing the doSquash method when there were no
unissued instructions in the pipeline. A corner case problem exists when
only issued instructions exist in the pipeline and a squash occurs; the
doSquash code is not invoked and subsequently does not clean up state properly.

Update table with additional definitions through Linux 3.13.

Don't use std::cerr directly, and just return EINVAL instead of aborting.
|

Also nix extra whitespace.

Very small changes to iew.predictedNotTakenIncorrect
and iew.branchMispredicts. Looks like similar updates
were committed on April 3 (changeset 235ff1c046df), but
only for the quick tests.

This patch takes the final step in removing the InOrderCPU from the
tree. Rest in peace.
The MinorCPU is now used to model an in-order microarchitecture, and
long term the MinorCPU will eventually be renamed InOrderCPU.
|
|
Instead of maintaining two lists, rely entirely on the class
name. There is really no point in causing unecessary confusion.

The change in 20.parser is from new x87 instructions. The change to
pc-o3-timing is not clear to me. It seems that this test might be invoking
some undefined behavior.

This patch ensures that the CPU progress Event is triggered for the new set of
switched_cpus that get scheduled (e.g. during fast-forwarding). it also avoids
printing the interval state if the cpu is currently switched out.

Restoring from a checkpoint with ruby + the DRAMCtrl memory model was not
working, because ruby and DRAMCtrl disagreed on the current tick during warmup.
Since there is no reason to do timing requests during warmup, use functional
requests instead.

The filenames are initialized with NULL. So the test should be
checking for them to be == NULL instead == None.

The function was using the host fd to obtain the fd object from the simulated
process.

This patch adds an example configuration in ext/sst/tests/ that allows
an SST/gem5 instance to simulate a 4-core AArch64 system with SST's
memHierarchy components providing all the caches and memories.
|

This patch adds a connector that allows gem5 to be used as a component
in SST (Structural Simulation Toolkit, sst-simulator.org). At a high
level, this allows memory traffic to pass between the two simulators.
SST Links are roughly analogous to gem5 Ports, although Links do not
have a notion of master and slave. This distinction is important to
gem5, so when connecting a gem5 CPU to an SST cache, an ExternalSlave
must be used, and similarly when connecting the memory side of SST cache
to a gem5 port (for memory <-> I/O), an ExternalMaster must be used.
These connectors handle the administrative aspects of gem5
(initialization, simulation, shutdown) as well as translating SST's
MemEvents into gem5 Packets and vice-versa.

Restoring from a checkpoint fails if either the RTC or the RTC Timer
Interrrupt event is disabled. The restored machine tried incorrectly
to schedule the next event with negative offset.

When running with the Exec flag, the mwait instruction attempted
to print out its source registers, which were never actually

This fix simply tells the I cache to not forward snoops to the fetch
unit (since there is really no reason to do so).
