This patch prevents creation of interrupt controller for
cpus that will be switched in later
|
|
This patch brings the Ruby and other scripts up to date with the
introduction of the master/slave ports.
|
|
This patch classifies all ports in Python as either Master or Slave
and enforces a binding of master to slave. Conceptually, a master (such
as a CPU or DMA port) issues requests, and receives responses, and
conversely, a slave (such as a memory or a PIO device) receives
requests and sends back responses. Currently there is no
differentiation between coherent and non-coherent masters and slaves.
The classification as master/slave also involves splitting the dual
role port of the bus into a master and slave port and updating all the
system assembly scripts to use the appropriate port. Similarly, the
interrupt devices have to have their int_port split into a master and
slave port. The intdev and its children have minimal changes to
facilitate the extra port.
Note that this patch does not enforce any port typing in the C++
world, it merely ensures that the Python objects have a notion of the
port roles and are connected in an appropriate manner. This check is
carried when two ports are connected, e.g. bus.master =
memory.port. The following patches will make use of the
classifications and specialise the C++ ports into masters and slaves.

This patch fixes the currently broken fs.py by specifying the size of
the bridge range rather than the end address. This effectively
subtracts one when determining the address range for the IO bridge
(from IO bus to membus), and thus avoids the overlapping ranges.
|
|
This patch makes the bus bridge uni-directional and specialises the
bus ports to be a master port and a slave port. This greatly
simplifies the assumptions on both sides as either port only has to
deal with requests or responses. The following patches introduce the
notion of master and slave ports, and would not be possible without
this split of responsibilities.
In making the bridge unidirectional, the address range mechanism of
the bridge is also changed. For the cases where communication is
taking place both ways, an additional bridge is needed. This causes
issues with the existing mechanism, as the busses cannot determine
when to stop iterating the address updates from the two bridges. To
avoid this issue, and also greatly simplify the specification, the
bridge now has a fixed set of address ranges, specified at creation
time.

When a change in the frame buffer from the VNC server is detected, the new
frame is stored out to the m5out/frames_*/ directory. Specifiy the flag
"--frame-capture" when running configs/example/fs.py to enable this behavior.

makeArmSystem creates both bare-metal and Linux systems more cleanly.
machine_type was never optional though listed as an optional argument; a system
such as "RealView_PBX" must now be explicitly specified. Now that it is a
required argument, the placement of the arguments has changed slightly
requiring some changes to calls that create ARM systems.

This way things that don't care about work count options and/or aren't called
by something that has those command line options set up doesn't have to build
a fake object to carry in inert values.

This makes sure that the address ranges requested for caches and uncached ports
don't conflict with each other, and that accesses which are always uncached
(message signaled interrupts for instance) don't waste time passing through
caches.

M5 skips over any simulated time where it doesn't have any work to do. When
the simulation is active, the time skipped is short and the work done at any
point in time is relatively substantial. If the time between events is long
and/or the work to do at each event is small, it's possible for simulated time
to pass faster than real time. When running a benchmark that can be good
because it means the simulation will finish sooner in real time. When
interacting with the real world through, for instance, a serial terminal or
bridge to a real network, this can be a problem. Human or network response time
could be greatly exagerated from the perspective of the simulation and make
simulated events happen "too soon" from an external perspective.
This change adds the capability to force the simulation to run no faster than
real time. It does so by scheduling a periodic event that checks to see if
its simulated period is shorter than its real period. If it is, it stalls the
simulation until they're equal. This is called time syncing.
A future change could add pseudo instructions which turn time syncing on and
off from within the simulation. That would allow time syncing to be used for
the interactive parts of a session but then turned off when running a
benchmark using the m5 utility program inside a script. Time syncing would
probably not happen anyway while running a benchmark because there would be
plenty of work for M5 to do, but the event overhead could be avoided.

Most of these frontend configurations share cache configuration code, pull it out so that
changes to caches don't have to require changing multiple config files.

Get rid of misc.py and just stick misc things in __init__.py
Move utility functions out of SCons files and into m5.util
Move utility type stuff from m5/__init__.py to m5/util/__init__.py
Remove buildEnv from m5 and allow access only from m5.defines
Rename AddToPath to addToPath while we're moving it to m5.util
Rename read_command to readCommand while we're moving it

interrupt assignment.

Previously there was one per bus, which caused some coherence problems
when more than one decided to respond. Now there is just one on
the main memory bus. The default bus responder on all other buses
is now the downstream cache's cpu_side port. Caches no longer need
to do address range filtering; instead, we just have a simple flag
to prevent snoops from propagating to the I/O bus.

the TimingCPU. Now the Atomic CPU works with caches.
configs/common/Simulation.py:
Atomic CPU now works properly with caches, so we don't have to do extra parsing to hook up caches only to the timing CPU.
However the O3CPU must always use caches, so a check for that must still exist.
Also change the switch_cpus to be placed at the system level, now that Steve changed how the IntrController gets its CPU.
