Prior to this changeset the bootloader rom (instantiated as a
SimpleMemory) in ruby Arm systems was treated as an IO device and it
was fronted by a DMA controller. This changeset moves the bootloader
rom and adds it to the system as another memory with a dedicated
directory controller.

Equips the fs.py config routine with an extra commandline option
--generate-dtb that will generate a dtb file automatically before
running the simulation. Only works with ARM systems and gives a warning
if the simulated system is not of --machine-type VExpress_GEM5_V1.

Ruby for ARM systems is not fully supported but certain configurations
are expected to work. This change removes the more general fail
statement and warns or fails depending on the particular
configuration.

This patch breaks out the most basic configuration options into a set
of base options, to allow them to be used also by scripts that do not
involve any ISA, and thus no actual CPUs or devices.
The patch also fixes a few modules so that they can be imported in a
NULL build, and avoid dragging in FSConfig every time Options is
imported.

At the moment the SPARC FS machine configuration comes with a hardcoded
value for using the Solaris 10 disk image from the OpenSPARC tarball. The
--disk-image option is completely ignored for SPARC. This simple patch
modifies the behavior so that --disk-image option is both taken into
account and also required. This makes it possible to easily change SPARC FS
images without having to modify the configuration files.

According to the Intel Multi Processor Specification rev 1.4 (-006) (*),
section 4.3.2 Bus Entries, Bus type strings are >>6-character ASCII
(blank-filled) strings<<.
This patch properly pads the entries with the missing spaces at the end.

Add a platform with support for both aarch32 and aarch64. This
platform implements a subset of the devices in a real Versatile
Express and extends it with some gem5-specific functionality. It is in
many ways similar to the old VExpress_EMM64 platform, but supports the
following new features:
* Automatic PCI interrupt assignment
* PCI interrupts allocated in a contiguous range.
* Automatic boot loader selection (32-bit / 64-bit)
* Cleaner memory map where gem5-specific devices live in CS5 which
isn't used by current Versatile Express platforms.
* No fake devices. Devices that were previously faked will be
removed from the device tree instead.
* Support for 510 GiB contiguous memory
|

The gem5's current PCI host functionality is very ad hoc. The current
implementations require PCI devices to be hooked up to the
configuration space via a separate configuration port. Devices query
the platform to get their config-space address range. Un-mapped parts
of the config space are intercepted using the XBar's default port
mechanism and a magic catch-all device (PciConfigAll).
This changeset redesigns the PCI host functionality to improve code
reuse and make config-space and interrupt mapping more
transparent. Existing platform code has been updated to use the new
PCI host and configured to stay backwards compatible (i.e., no
guest-side visible changes). The current implementation does not
expose any new functionality, but it can easily be extended with
features such as automatic interrupt mapping.
PCI devices now register themselves with a PCI host controller. The
host controller interface is defined in the abstract base class
PciHost. Registration is done by PciHost::registerDevice() which takes
the device, its bus position (bus/dev/func tuple), and its interrupt
pin (INTA-INTC) as a parameter. The registration interface returns a
PciHost::DeviceInterface that the PCI device can use to query memory
mappings and signal interrupts.
The host device manages the entire PCI configuration space. Accesses
to devices decoded into the devices bus position and then forwarded to
the correct device.
Basic PCI host functionality is implemented in the GenericPciHost base
class. Most platforms can use this class as a basic PCI controller. It
provides the following functionality:
* Configurable configuration space decoding. The number of bits
dedicated to a device is a prameter, making it possible to support
both CAM, ECAM, and legacy mappings.
* Basic interrupt mapping using the interruptLine value from a
device's configuration space. This behavior is the same as in the
old implementation. More advanced controllers can override the
interrupt mapping method to dynamically assign host interrupts to
PCI devices.
* Simple (base + addr) remapping from the PCI bus's address space to
physical addresses for PIO, memory, and DMA.

Add support for automatically discover available platforms. The
Python-side uses functionality similar to what we use when
auto-detecting available CPU models. The machine IDs have been updated
to match the platform configurations. If there isn't a matching
machine ID, the configuration scripts default to -1 which Linux uses
for device tree only platforms.

This patch introduces a few subclasses to the CoherentXBar and
NoncoherentXBar to distinguish the different uses in the system. We
use the crossbar in a wide range of places: interfacing cores to the
L2, as a system interconnect, connecting I/O and peripherals,
etc. Needless to say, these crossbars have very different performance,
and the clock frequency alone is not enough to distinguish these
scenarios.
Instead of trying to capture every possible case, this patch
introduces dedicated subclasses for the three primary use-cases:
L2XBar, SystemXBar and IOXbar. More can be added if needed, and the
defaults can be overridden.

In case /dev/sda1 is not actually the boot partition for an image,
we can override it on the command line or in a benchmark definition.

Both options accept template which will, through python string formatting,
have "mem", "disk", and "script" values substituted in from the mdesc.
Additional values can be used on a case by case basis by passing them as
keyword arguments to the fillInCmdLine function. That makes it possible to
have specialized parameters for a particular ISA, for instance.
The first option lets you specify the template directly, and the other lets
you specify a file which has the template in it.

regressions.
This changes the default ARM system to a Versatile Express-like system that supports
2GB of memory and PCI devices and updates the default kernels/file-systems for
AArch64 ARM systems (64-bit) to support up to 32GB of memory and PCI devices. Some
platforms that are no longer supported have been pruned from the configuration files.
In addition a set of 64-bit ARM regressions have been added to the regression system.

which guaranty access to pci address space will pass though bridge to

This patch changes the name of the Bus classes to XBar to better
reflect the actual timing behaviour. The actual instances in the
config scripts are not renamed, and remain as e.g. iobus or membus.
As part of this renaming, the code has also been clean up slightly,
making use of range-based for loops and tidying up some comments. The
only changes outside the bus/crossbar code is due to the delay
variables in the packet.

Change the default kernel for AArch64 and since it supports PCI devices
remove the hack that made it use CF. Unfortunately, there isn't really
a half-way here and we need to switch. Current users will get an error
message that the kernel isn't found and hopefully go download a new
kernel that supports PCI.

This eliminates some default devices and adds in helper functions
to connect the devices defined here to associate with the proper

in makeDualRoot() the etherlink interfaces are set using the tsunami interface
however, they are set again a few lines later based on whether or not the system
is a realview or tsunami system; the original assignment is always overwritten
or there will be a fatal. this seems like an artifact from when tsunami was the
only type of system capable of running with the dual option.

The patch removes the ruby_fs.py file. The functionality is being moved to
fs.py. This would being ruby fs simulations in line with how ruby se
simulations are started (using --ruby option). The alpha fs config functions
are being combined for classing and ruby memory systems. This required
renaming the piobus in ruby to iobus. So, we will have stats being renamed
in the stats file for ruby fs regression.

For some reason, the default x86 kernel is specified in
tests/configs/x86_generic.py and not in configs/common/FSConfig.py,
where the kernels for all the other ISAs are. This means that
running configs/example/fs.py for x86 fails because no kernel
is specified. Moving the specification over fixes this problem.
There is another problem that this uncovers, which is that going
past the init stage (i.e., past where the regression test stops)
fails because the fsck test on the disk device fails, but that's
a separate issue.

In order to support m5ops in virtualized environments, we need to use
a memory mapped interface. This changeset adds support for that by
reserving 0xFFFF0000-0xFFFFFFFF and mapping those to the generic IPR
interface for m5ops. The mapping is done in the
X86ISA::TLB::finalizePhysical() which means that it just works for all
of the CPU models, including virtualized ones.

This patch moves the instantiation of the memory controller outside
FSConfig and instead relies on the mem_ranges to pass the information
to the caller (e.g. fs.py or one of the regression scripts). The main
motivation for this change is to expose the structural composition of
the memory system and allow more tuning and configuration without
adding a large number of options to the makeSystem functions.
The patch updates the relevant example scripts to maintain the current
functionality. As the order that ports are connected to the memory bus
changes (in certain regresisons), some bus stats are shuffled
around. For example, what used to be layer 0 is now layer 1.
Going forward, options will be added to support the addition of
multi-channel memory controllers.
|
|
This patch removes the explicit memset as it is redundant and causes
the simulator to touch the entire space, forcing the host system to
allocate the pages.
Anonymous pages are mapped on the first access, and the page-fault
handler is responsible for zeroing them. Thus, the pages are still
zeroed, but we avoid touching the entire allocated space which enables
us to use much larger memory sizes as long as not all the memory is
actually used.
|
|
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.

As of now, we mark the top 1MB of memory space as unusable. Part of
it is actually usable and is required to be marked so by some of the
newer versions of linux kernel. This patch marks the top 639KB as usable.
This value was chosen by looking at QEMU's output for bios memory map.

This patch moves the default DRAM parameters from the SimpleDRAM class
to two different subclasses, one for DDR3 and one for LPDDR2. More can

The regressions that previously used the SimpleDRAM are now using
SimpleDDR3 as this is the most similar configuration.
