2012-07-27stats: update stats for icache change not allowing dirty dataAli Saidi
2012-07-27dma: remove unused variableAnthony Gutierrez
this patch removes the actionInProgress field from the DmaPort class. this variable is only defined and initiated in the ctor. it is never used.
2012-07-27checker: make checker cpu id match its host's cpu idAnthony Gutierrez
when using the checker i ran into problems where an instruction reading the cpu id register failed because the ids did not match, and hence, the result of the instruction did not match. this patch ensures that the ids match so this instruction does not fail. this problem only seemed to manifest itself when multiple cores were in the system, either multi-core, or extra switched- out cores present in the system.
2012-07-27cache: don't allow dirty data in the i-cacheAnthony Gutierrez
removes the optimization that forwards an exclusive copy to a requester on a read, only for the i-cache. this optimization isn't necessary because we typically won't be writing to the i-cache.
2012-07-27ARM: fix value of MISCREG_CTR returned by readMiscReg()Anthony Gutierrez
According to the A15 TRM the value of this register is as follows (assuming 16 word = 64 byte lines) [31:29] Format - b100 specifies v7 [28] RAZ - b0 [27:24] CWG log2(max writeback size #words) - 0x4 16 words [23:20] ERG log2(max reservation size #words) - 0x4 16 words [19:16] DminLine log2(smallest dcache line #words) - 0x4 16 words [15:14] L1Ip L1 index/tagging policy - b11 specifies PIPT [13:4] RAZ - b0000000000 [3:0] IminLine log2(smallest icache line #words) - 0x4 16 words
2012-07-23Config: Use clock option in se/fs script and pass to switch_cpusAndreas Hansson
This patch changes the se and fs script to use the clock option and not simply set the CPUs clock to 2 GHz. It also makes a minor change to the assignment of the switch_cpus clock to allow different clocks.
2012-07-23Bridge: Use EventWrapper instead of Event subclass for sendEventAndreas Hansson
This class simply cleans up the code by making use of the EventWrapper convenience class to schedule the sendEvent in the bridge ports.
2012-07-23test: Update eio ref outputs due to recent changesSteve Reinhardt
Actual stats updates covering period since original ref outputs were clobbered.
2012-07-23test: Restore eio ref files clobbered in rev 8800b05e1cb3.Steve Reinhardt
Apparently Nate did a wholesale update of stats files using a binary compiled without eio, resulting in broken refernce outputs.

2012-07-12Mem: Make SimpleMemory single portedAndreas Hansson
This patch changes the simple memory to have a single slave port rather than a vector port. The simple memory makes no attempts at modelling the contention between multiple ports, and any such multiplexing and demultiplexing could be done in a bus (or crossbar) outside the memory controller. This scenario also matches with the ongoing work on a SimpleDRAM model, which will be a single-ported single-channel controller that can be used in conjunction with a bus (or crossbar) to create a multi-port multi-channel controller. There are only very few regressions that make use of the vector port, and these are all for functional accesses only. To facilitate these cases, memtest and memtest-ruby have been updated to also have a "functional" bus to perform the (de)multiplexing of the functional memory accesses.
2012-07-12scons: Add LIBRARY_PATH from the user environment to SconsAndreas Hansson
This patch adds the LIBRARY_PATH from the users OS environment to Scons build environment. This path is used when linking to search for libraries, and this patch enables tcmalloc to be used during the build even if it is not placed in the default search paths.

2012-07-12Ruby: remove config information from ruby.statsNilay Vaish
This patch removes printConfig() functions from all structures in Ruby. Most of the information is already part of config.ini, and where ever it is not, it would become in due course.

2012-07-10Add hook to call map() on Process from python.Steve Reinhardt
This enables configuration scripts to set up mappings from process virtual addresses to specific physical addresses in SE mode. This feature is needed to support modeling of user-accessible memories or devices in SE mode, avoiding the complexities of FS mode and the need to write a device driver.

2012-07-10ruby: banked cache array resource modelBrad Beckmann
This patch models a cache as separate tag and data arrays. The patch exposes the banked array as another resource that is checked by SLICC before a transition is allowed to execute. This is similar to how TBE entries and slots in output ports are modeled.
2012-07-10ruby: tag and data cache access supportJoel Hestness
Updates to Ruby to support statistics counting of cache accesses. This feature serves multiple purposes beyond simple stats collection. It provides the foundation for ruby to model the cache tag and data arrays as physical resources, as well as provide the necessary input data for McPAT power modeling.

2012-07-10ruby: changes how Topologies are createdBrad Beckmann
Instead of just passing a list of controllers to the makeTopology function in src/mem/ruby/network/topologies/<Topo>.py we pass in a function pointer which knows how to make the topology, possibly with some extra state set in the configs/ruby/<protocol>.py file. Thus, we can move all of the files from network/topologies to configs/topologies. A new class BaseTopology is added which all topologies in configs/topologies must inheirit from and follow its API. --HG-- rename : src/mem/ruby/network/topologies/Crossbar.py => configs/topologies/Crossbar.py rename : src/mem/ruby/network/topologies/Mesh.py => configs/topologies/Mesh.py rename : src/mem/ruby/network/topologies/MeshDirCorners.py => configs/topologies/MeshDirCorners.py rename : src/mem/ruby/network/topologies/Pt2Pt.py => configs/topologies/Pt2Pt.py rename : src/mem/ruby/network/topologies/Torus.py => configs/topologies/Torus.py
2012-07-09EventManager: Rename queue accessor and remove cast operatorAndreas Hansson
This patch renames the queue() accessor to the less ambigious eventQueue, and also removes the cast operator. The queue() member function cause problems in derived classes that declare members with the same name, e.g. a MemObject subclass that has a packet queue on its own. The operator is not causing any harm at this point, but as it is not used there is little point in keeping it.
2012-07-09Mem: Make members relating to range and size constantAndreas Hansson
This patch makes the address-range related members const. The change is trivial and merely ensures that they can be called on a const memory.
2012-07-09Port: Hide the queue implementation in SimpleTimingPortAndreas Hansson
This patch makes the queue implementation in the SimpleTimingPort private to avoid confusion with the protected member queue in the QueuedSlavePort. The SimpleTimingPort provides the queue_impl to the QueuedSlavePort and it can be accessed via the reference in the base class. The use of the member name queue is thus no longer overloaded.
2012-07-09Stats: Updates due to bus changesAndreas Hansson
This patch bumps all the stats to reflect the bus changes, i.e. the introduction of the state variable, the division into a request and response layer, and the new default bus width of 8 bytes.
2012-07-09Port: Align port names in C++ and PythonAndreas Hansson
This patch is a first step to align the port names used in the Python world and the C++ world. Ultimately it serves to make the use of config.json together with output from the simulation easier, including post-processing of statistics. Most notably, the CPU, cache, and bus is addressed in this patch, and there might be other ports that should be updated accordingly. The dash name separator has also been replaced with a "." which is what is used to concatenate the names in python, and a separation is made between the master and slave port in the bus.
2012-07-09Bus: Make the default bus width 8 bytes instead of 64Andreas Hansson
This patch changes the default bus width to a more sensible 8 bytes (64 bits), which is in line with most on-chip buses. Although there are cases where a wider or narrower bus is useful, the 8 bytes is a good compromise to serve as the default. This patch changes essentially all statistics, and will be bundled with the outstanding changes to the bus.
2012-07-09Bus: Split the bus into separate request/response layersAndreas Hansson
This patch splits the existing buses into multiple layers. The non-coherent bus is split into a request and a response layer, and the coherent bus adds an additional layer for the snoop responses. The layer is modified to be templatised on the port type, such that the different layers can have retryLists with either master or slave ports. This patch also removes the dynamic cast from the retry, as previously promised when moving the recvRetry from the port base class to the master/slave port respectively. Overall, the split bus more closely reflects any modern on-chip bus and should be at step in the right direction. From this point, it would be reasonable straight forward to add separate layers (and thus contention points and arbitration) for each port and thus create a true crossbar. The regressions all produce the correct output, but have varying degrees of changes to their statistics. A separate patch will be pushed with the updates to the reference statistics.
2012-07-09Bus: Add a notion of layers to the busesAndreas Hansson
This patch moves all flow control, arbitration and state information into a bus layer. The layer is thus responsible for all the state transitions, and for keeping hold of the retry list. Consequently the layer is also responsible for the draining. With this change, the non-coherent and coherent bus are given a single layer to avoid changing any temporal behaviour, but the patch opens up for adding more layers.
2012-07-09Bus: Replace tickNextIdle and inRetry with a state variableAndreas Hansson
This patch adds a state enum and member variable in the bus, tracking the bus state, thus eliminating the need for tickNextIdle and inRetry, and fixing an issue that allowed the bus to be occupied by multiple packets at once (hopefully it also makes it easier to understand the code). The bus, in its current form, uses tickNextIdle and inRetry to keep track of the state of the bus. However, it only updates tickNextIdle _after_ forwarding a packet using sendTiming, and the result is that the bus is still seen as idle, and a module that receives the packet and starts transmitting new packets in zero time will still see the bus as idle (and this is done by a number of DMA devices). The issue can also be seen in isOccupied where the bus calls reschedule on an event instead of schedule. This patch addresses the problem by marking the bus as _not_ idle already by the time we conclude that the bus is not occupied and we will deal with the packet. As a result of not allowing multiple packets to occupy the bus, some regressions have slight changes in their statistics. A separate patch updates these accordingly. Further ahead, a follow-on patch will introduce a separate state variable for request/responses/snoop responses, and thus implement a split request/response bus with separate flow control for the different message types (even further ahead it will introduce a multi-layer bus).
2012-07-09Port: Make getAddrRanges constAndreas Hansson
This patch makes getAddrRanges const throughout the code base. There is no reason why it should not be, and making it const prevents adding any unintentional side-effects.
2012-07-09Port: Add getAddrRanges to master port (asking slave port)Andreas Hansson
This patch adds getAddrRanges to the master port, and thus avoids going through getSlavePort to be able to ask the slave. Similar to the previous patch that added isSnooping to the SlavePort, this patch aims to introduce an additional level of hierarchy in the ports (base port being protocol-agnostic) and getSlave/MasterPort will return port pointers to these base classes. The function is named getAddrRanges also on the master port, but does nothing besides asking the connected slave port. The slave port, as before, has to provide an implementation and actually produce a list of address ranges. The initial design used the name getSlaveAddrRanges for the new function, but the more verbose name was later changed.
2012-07-09Port: Add isSnooping to slave port (asking master port)Andreas Hansson
This patch adds isSnooping to the slave port, and thus avoids going through getMasterPort to be able to ask the master. Over the course of the next few patches, all getMasterPort/getSlavePort in Port and MemObject are to be protocol agnostic, and the snooping is part of the protocol layer. The function is already present on the master port, where it is implemented by the module itself, e.g. a cache. On the slave side, it is merely asking the connected master port. The same name is used by both functions despite their difference in behaviour. The initial design used isMasterSnooping on the slave port side, but the more verbose function name was later changed.
2012-07-09Port: Move retry from port base class to Master/SlavePortAndreas Hansson
This patch is the last part of moving all protocol-related functionality out of the Port base class. All the send/recv functions are already moved, and the retry (which still governs all the timing transport functions) is the only part that remained in the base class. The only point where this currently causes a bit of inconvenience is in the bus where the retry list is global and holds Port pointers (not Master/SlavePort). This is about to change with the split into a request/response bus and will soon be removed anyway. The patch has no impact on any regressions.
2012-07-09Fix: Address a few benign memory leaksAndreas Hansson
This patch is the result of static analysis identifying a number of memory leaks. The leaks are all benign as they are a result of not deallocating memory in the desctructor. The fix still has value as it removes false positives in the static analysis.
