2018-01-29config: Embed Device Tree generation in fs.py configGlenn Bergmans
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.

2017-12-15mem-ruby: Support atomic_noncaching acceses in rubySwapnil Haria
Ruby has no support for atomic_noncaching accesses, which prevents using it with kvm-cpu. This patch fixes this by directly forwarding atomic requests from the ruby port/sequencer to the corresponding directory based on the destination address of the packet.

2017-10-31config: Rework the SysPaths functions into functors.Gabe Black
These functions were already being treated as psuedo objects and had properties assigned to them setting what their paths were. That's a bit unusual and made it less obvious what the code was doing, but also forced the "system" function to know what all the possible path searching functions were so that they'd have their "path" property initialized properly in a central location. This change introduces a PathSearcFunc class which encapsulates the mechanisms of the old code and makes it implicitly extensible so that other path searching functions which might look in other directories can be added in other places.

2017-07-28config: Discover CPU timing models based on target ISAAndreas Sandberg
The CpuConfig helper currently assumes that all timing models live in the cores.arm package. This ignores the potential mismatch between the target ISA and the ISA assumptions made by the timing models. Instead of unconditionally listing all CPU models in cores.arm, list timing models from cores.generic and cores.${TARGET_ISA}. This ensures that the listed timing models support the ISA that gem5 is targeting.

2017-07-05cpu: Added interface for vector reg fileRekai Gonzalez-Alberquilla
This patch adds some more functionality to the cpu model and the arch to interface with the vector register file. This change consists mainly of augmenting ThreadContexts and ExecContexts with calls to get/set full vectors, underlying microarchitectural elements or lanes. Those are meant to interface with the vector register file. All classes that implement this interface also get an appropriate implementation. This requires implementing the vector register file for the different models using the VecRegContainer class. This change set also updates the Result abstraction to contemplate the possibility of having a vector as result. The changes also affect how the remote_gdb connection works. There are some (nasty) side effects, such as the need to define dummy numPhysVecRegs parameter values for architectures that do not implement vector extensions. Nathanael Premillieu's work with an increasing number of fixes and improvements of mine.

If the cache access mode is parallel, i.e. "sequential_access" parameter is set to "False", tags and data are accessed in parallel. Therefore, the hit_latency is the maximum latency between tag_latency and data_latency. On the other hand, if the cache access mode is sequential, i.e. "sequential_access" parameter is set to "True", tags and data are accessed sequentially. Therefore, the hit_latency is the sum of tag_latency plus data_latency. Signed-off-by: Jason Lowe-Power <jason@lowepower.com>
2016-10-26dev: Add m5 op to toggle synchronization for dist-gem5.Michael LeBeane
This patch adds the ability for an application to request dist-gem5 to begin/ end synchronization using an m5 op. When toggling on sync, all nodes agree on the next sync point based on the maximum of all nodes' ticks. CPUs are suspended until the sync point to avoid sending network messages until sync has been enabled. Toggling off sync acts like a global execution barrier, where all CPUs are disabled until every node reaches the toggle off point. This avoids tricky situations such as one node hitting a toggle off followed by a toggle on before the other nodes hit the first toggle off.

2016-10-13ruby: Fix regressions and make Ruby configs Python packagesAndreas Hansson
This patch moves the addition of network options into the Ruby module to avoid the regressions all having to add it explicitly. Doing this exposes an issue in our current config system though, namely the fact that addtoPath is relative to the Python script being executed. Since both example and regression scripts use the Ruby module we would end up with two different (relative) paths being added. Instead we take a first step at turning the config modules into Python packages, simply by adding a __init__.py in the configs/ruby, configs/topologies and configs/network subdirectories. As a result, we can now add the top-level configs directory to the Python search path, and then use the package names in the various modules. The example scripts are also updated, and the messy path-deducing variations in the scripts are unified.

Instead, add the snoop filter only when there are caches added to the system (with the caches / l2cache options).

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
2016-01-11configs: Fix inheritance of HMCSystem and cleanup spacingAndreas Hansson
Minor fix to ensure the HMCSystem can actually be instantiated (SimObject cannot be created). Also address some spacing issues.

2015-12-07config: Enable elastic trace capture and replay in se/fsRadhika Jagtap
This patch adds changes to the configuration scripts to support elastic tracing and replay. The patch adds a command line option to enable elastic tracing in SE mode and FS mode. When enabled the Elastic Trace cpu probe is attached to O3CPU and a few O3 CPU parameters are tuned. The Elastic Trace probe writes out both instruction fetch and data dependency traces. The patch also enables configuring the TraceCPU to replay traces using the SE and FS script. The replay run is designed to resume from checkpoint using atomic cpu to restore state keeping it consistent with FS run flow. It then switches to TraceCPU to replay the input traces.
2015-12-05dev: Rewrite PCI host functionalityAndreas Sandberg
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.
