2016-05-09scons: Rewrite git style hook installerAndreas Sandberg
The SCons script currently assumes that .git is a proper directory with all git meta data. This isn't the case if the working directory was checked out using git worktrees. In such case .git is a file with meta data telling git where the repository data is stored. This changeset updates changes the SConstruct file to rely on git rev-parse to get the real git directory.

2015-06-01kvm, arm: Add support for aarch64Andreas Sandberg
This changeset adds support for aarch64 in kvm. The CPU module supports both checkpointing and online CPU model switching as long as no devices are simulated by the host kernel. It currently has the following limitations: * The system register based generic timer can only be simulated by the host kernel. Workaround: Use a memory mapped timer instead to simulate the timer in gem5. * Simulating devices (e.g., the generic timer) in the host kernel requires that the host kernel also simulates the GIC. * ID registers in the host and in gem5 must match for switching between simulated CPUs and KVM. This is particularly important for ID registers describing memory system capabilities (e.g., ASID size, physical address size). * Switching between a virtualized CPU and a simulated CPU is currently not supported if in-kernel device emulation is used. This could be worked around by adding support for switching to the gem5 (e.g., the KvmGic) side of the device models. A simpler workaround is to avoid in-kernel device models altogether.
2015-05-23build: Don't test for KVM xsave support on ARMAndreas Sandberg
The current build tests for KVM unconditionally check for xsave support. This obviously never works on ARM since xsave is x86-specific. This changeset refactors the build tests probing for KVM support and moves the xsave test to an x86-specific section of is_isa_kvm_compatible().
2015-03-02tests: Run regression timeout as foregroundAndreas Hansson

2014-12-02scons: Ensure dictionary iteration is sorted by keyAndreas Hansson
This patch adds sorting based on the SimObject name or parameter name for all situations where we iterate over dictionaries. This should ensure a deterministic and consistent order across the host systems and hopefully avoid regression results differing across python versions.
2014-10-16config: Add the ability to read a config file using C++ and PythonAndreas Hansson
This patch adds the ability to load in config.ini files generated from gem5 into another instance of gem5 built without Python configuration support. The intended use case is for configuring gem5 when it is a library embedded in another simulation system. A parallel config file reader is also provided purely in Python to demonstrate the approach taken and to provided similar functionality for as-yet-unknown use models. The Python configuration file reader can read both .ini and .json files. C++ configuration file reading: A command line option has been added for scons to enable C++ configuration file reading: --with-cxx-config There is an example in util/cxx_config that shows C++ configuration in action. util/cxx_config/README explains how to build the example. Configuration is achieved by the object CxxConfigManager. It handles reading object descriptions from a CxxConfigFileBase object which wraps a config file reader. The wrapper class CxxIniFile is provided which wraps an IniFile for reading .ini files. Reading .json files from C++ would be possible with a similar wrapper and a JSON parser. After reading object descriptions, CxxConfigManager creates SimObjectParam-derived objects from the classes in the (generated with this patch) directory build/ARCH/cxx_config CxxConfigManager can then build SimObjects from those SimObjectParams (in an order dictated by the SimObject-value parameters on other objects) and bind ports of the produced SimObjects. A minimal set of instantiate-replacing member functions are provided by CxxConfigManager and few of the member functions of SimObject (such as drain) are extended onto CxxConfigManager. Python configuration file reading (configs/example/read_config.py): A Python version of the reader is also supplied with a similar interface to CxxConfigFileBase (In Python: ConfigFile) to config file readers. The Python config file reading will handle both .ini and .json files. The object construction strategy is slightly different in Python from the C++ reader as you need to avoid objects prematurely becoming the children of other objects when setting parameters. Port binding also needs to be strictly in the same port-index order as the original instantiation.

2014-10-16config: Add a --without-python option to build processAndrew Bardsley
Add the ability to build libgem5 without embedded Python or the ability to configure with Python. This is a prelude to a patch to allow config.ini files to be loaded into libgem5 using only C++ which would make embedding gem5 within other simulation systems easier. This adds a few registration interfaces to things which cross between Python and C++. Namely: stats dumping and SimObject resolving
2014-10-09ext: Add DRAMPower to enable on-line DRAM power modellingAndreas Hansson
This patch adds the open-source (BSD 3-clause) tool DRAMPower, commit 8d3cf4bbb10aa202d850ef5e5e3e4f53aa668fa6, to be built as a part of the simulator. We have chosen this specific version of DRAMPower as it provides the necessary functionality, and future updates will be coordinated with the DRAMPower development team. The files added only include the bits needed to build the library, thus excluding all memory specifications, traces, and the stand-alone DRAMPower command-line tool. A future patch includes the DRAMPower functionality in the DRAM controller, to enable on-line DRAM power modelling, and avoid using post-processing of traces.

2014-09-03arch, cpu: Factor out the ExecContext into a proper base classAndreas Sandberg
We currently generate and compile one version of the ISA code per CPU model. This is obviously wasting a lot of resources at compile time. This changeset factors out the interface into a separate ExecContext class, which also serves as documentation for the interface between CPUs and the ISA code. While doing so, this changeset also fixes up interface inconsistencies between the different CPU models. The main argument for using one set of ISA code per CPU model has always been performance as this avoid indirect branches in the generated code. However, this argument does not hold water. Booting Linux on a simulated ARM system running in atomic mode (opt/10.linux-boot/realview-simple-atomic) is actually 2% faster (compiled using clang 3.4) after applying this patch. Additionally, compilation time is decreased by 35%.
2014-08-13scons: Silence clang 3.4 warnings on Ubuntu 12.04Andreas Sandberg
This changeset fixes three types of warnings that occur in clang 3.4 on Ubuntu 12.04: * Certain versions of libstdc++ (primarily 4.8) use struct and class interchangeably. This triggers a warning in clang. * Swig has a tendency to generate code with the register class which was deprecated in C++11. This triggers a deprecation warning in clang. * Swig sometimes generates Python wrapper code which returns uninitialized values. It's unclear if this is actually a problem (the cases might be limited to failure paths). We'll silence these warnings for now since there is little we can do about the generated code.
2014-08-10scons: Warn for incompatible gcc and binutilsAndreas Hansson
It seems gcc >4.8 does not get along well with binutils <= 2.22, and to help users this patch adds a warning with an indication for how to fix the issue. It might even be worth adding a Exit(-1) and stop the build.
2014-06-10scons: Bump the compiler version to gcc 4.6 and clang 3.0Andreas Hansson
This patch bumps the supported version of gcc from 4.4 to 4.6, and clang from 2.9 to 3.0. This enables, amongst other things, range-based for loops, lambda expressions, etc. The STL implementation shipping with 4.6 also has a full functional implementation of unique_ptr and shared_ptr.
2014-05-09arch: teach ISA parser how to split code across filesCurtis Dunham
This patch encompasses several interrelated and interdependent changes to the ISA generation step. The end goal is to reduce the size of the generated compilation units for instruction execution and decoding so that batch compilation can proceed with all CPUs active without exhausting physical memory. The ISA parser (src/arch/isa_parser.py) has been improved so that it can accept 'split [output_type];' directives at the top level of the grammar and 'split(output_type)' python calls within 'exec {{ ... }}' blocks. This has the effect of "splitting" the files into smaller compilation units. I use air-quotes around "splitting" because the files themselves are not split, but preprocessing directives are inserted to have the same effect. Architecturally, the ISA parser has had some changes in how it works. In general, it emits code sooner. It doesn't generate per-CPU files, and instead defers to the C preprocessor to create the duplicate copies for each CPU type. Likewise there are more files emitted and the C preprocessor does more substitution that used to be done by the ISA parser. Finally, the build system (SCons) needs to be able to cope with a dynamic list of source files coming out of the ISA parser. The changes to the SCons{cript,truct} files support this. In broad strokes, the targets requested on the command line are hidden from SCons until all the build dependencies are determined, otherwise it would try, realize it can't reach the goal, and terminate in failure. Since build steps (i.e. running the ISA parser) must be taken to determine the file list, several new build stages have been inserted at the very start of the build. First, the build dependencies from the ISA parser will be emitted to arch/$ISA/generated/inc.d, which is then read by a new SCons builder to finalize the dependencies. (Once inc.d exists, the ISA parser will not need to be run to complete this step.) Once the dependencies are known, the 'Environments' are made by the makeEnv() function. This function used to be called before the build began but now happens during the build. It is easy to see that this step is quite slow; this is a known issue and it's important to realize that it was already slow, but there was no obvious cause to attribute it to since nothing was displayed to the terminal. Since new steps that used to be performed serially are now in a potentially-parallel build phase, the pathname handling in the SCons scripts has been tightened up to deal with chdir() race conditions. In general, pathnames are computed earlier and more likely to be stored, passed around, and processed as absolute paths rather than relative paths. In the end, some of these issues had to be fixed by inserting serializing dependencies in the build. Minor note: For the null ISA, we just provide a dummy inc.d so SCons is never compelled to try to generate it. While it seems slightly wrong to have anything in src/arch/*/generated (i.e. a non-generated 'generated' file), it's by far the simplest solution.

2014-02-18mem: Add a wrapped DRAMSim2 memory controllerAndreas Hansson
This patch adds DRAMSim2 as a memory controller by wrapping the external library and creating a sublass of AbstractMemory that bridges between the semantics of gem5 and the DRAMSim2 interface. The DRAMSim2 wrapper extracts the clock period from the config file. There is no way of extracting this information from DRAMSim2 itself, so we simply read the same config file and get it from there. To properly model the response queue, the wrapper keeps track of how many transactions are in the actual controller, and how many are stacking up waiting to be sent back as responses (in the wrapper). The latter requires us to move away from the queued port and manage the packets ourselves. This is due to DRAMSim2 not having any flow control on the response path. DRAMSim2 assumes that the transactions it is given are matching the burst size of the choosen memory. The wrapper checks to ensure the cache line size of the system matches the burst size of DRAMSim2 as there are currently no provisions to split the system requests. In theory we could allow a cache line size smaller than the burst size, but that would lead to inefficient use of the DRAM, so for not we fatal also in this case.
2013-10-15kvm: Set the perf exclude_host attribute if availableAndreas Sandberg
The performance counting framework in Linux 3.2 and onwards supports an attribute to exclude events generated by the host when running KVM. Setting this attribute allows us to get more reliable measurements of the guest machine. For example, on a highly loaded system, the instruction counts from the guest can be severely distorted by the host kernel (e.g., by page fault handlers). This changeset introduces a check for the attribute and enables it in the KVM CPU if present.

2013-10-01scons, kvm: Check for the presence of POSIX timersAndreas Sandberg
The kvm-based CPU module requires support for POSIX timers. This changeset adds a check for POSIX timers and ensures that gem5 is linked with librt if necessary. KVM support is disabled if POSIX timers are not supported by the host. This fixes a compilation issue for some glibc versions where clock_nanosleep and timer_create are in different libraries.
