2015-12-17configs: Make the default memtest behaviour more complexAndreas Hansson
Add functional and uncacheable accesses by default.
2015-07-20ruby: more flexible ruby tester supportBrad Beckmann
This patch allows the ruby random tester to use ruby ports that may only support instr or data requests. This patch is similar to a previous changeset (8932:1b2c17565ac8) that was unfortunately broken by subsequent changesets. This current patch implements the support in a more straight-forward way. Since retries are now tested when running the ruby random tester, this patch splits up the retry and drain check behavior so that RubyPort children, such as the GPUCoalescer, can perform those operations correctly without having to duplicate code. Finally, the patch also includes better DPRINTFs for debugging the tester.
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.
2015-11-22config: Added missing types to JSON/INI Python readerAndrew Bardsley
Added the missing types EthernetAddr and Current to the JSON/INI file reader example configs/example/read_config.py. Also added __str__ to EthernetAddr to make values appear in the same form in JSON an INI files.
2015-11-06config: Update memtest to stress test clean writebacksAndreas Hansson
This patch adds yet another twist to the memtest cache hierarchy, in that the writeback_clean option is toggled at every level to match the clusivity of the downstream cache.
2015-11-06config: Update memtest to stress test cache clusivityAndreas Hansson
This patch adds an new twist to the memtest cache hierarchy, in that it switches from mostly inclusive to mostly exclusive at every level in the tree. This has helped weed out plenty issues, and serves as a good stress tests.
2015-11-03mem: hmc: top level designErfan Azarkhish
This patch enables modeling a complete Hybrid Memory Cube (HMC) device. It highly reuses the existing components in gem5's general memory system with some small modifications. This changeset requires additional patches to model a complete HMC device. Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>
2015-09-30isa,cpu: Add support for FS SMT InterruptsMitch Hayenga
Adds per-thread interrupt controllers and thread/context logic so that interrupts properly get routed in SMT systems.
2015-09-30config,cpu: Add SMT support to Atomic and Timing CPUsMitch Hayenga
Adds SMT support to the "simple" CPU models so that they can be used with other SMT-supported CPUs. Example usage: this enables the TimingSimpleCPU to be used to warmup caches before swapping to detailed mode with the in-order or out-of-order based CPU models.
2015-09-06config: allow ruby to be used with Minor CPUNilay Vaish
2015-08-21mem: Add explicit Cache subclass and make BaseCache abstractAndreas Hansson
Open up for other subclasses to BaseCache and transition to using the explicit Cache subclass. --HG-- rename : src/mem/cache/BaseCache.py => src/mem/cache/Cache.py
2015-07-21configs: network test: remove redundant physical memoryNilay Vaish
2015-07-03mem: Remove redundant is_top_level cache parameterAndreas Hansson
This patch takes the final step in removing the is_top_level parameter from the cache. With the recent changes to read requests and write invalidations, the parameter is no longer needed, and consequently removed. This also means that asymmetric cache hierarchies are now fully supported (and we are actually using them already with L1 caches, but no table-walker caches, connected to a shared L2).
2015-04-23config: enable setting SE-mode environment variables from filebpotter
2015-04-08config: Support full-system with SST's memory systemCurtis Dunham
This patch adds an example configuration in ext/sst/tests/ that allows an SST/gem5 instance to simulate a 4-core AArch64 system with SST's memHierarchy components providing all the caches and memories.
2015-03-19config: Add soak test for memtest.pyAndreas Hansson
This patch adds a random option to memtest.py which allows the user to easily test valid random tree topologies. The patch also adds a wrapper script to run soak tests using the newly introduced option. We also adjust the progress interval and progress limit check to make the output less noisy, and avoid false positives. Bring on the pain.
2015-03-19config: Specify OS type and release on command lineChris Emmons
This patch enables users to speficy --os-type on the command line. This option is used to take specific actions for an OS type, such as changing the kernel command line. This patch is part of the Android KitKat enablement.
2015-03-02mem: Move crossbar default latencies to subclassesAndreas Hansson
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.
2015-02-16config: Add memcheck stress testAndreas Hansson
This is a rather unfortunate copy of the memtest.py example script, that actually stresses the system with true sharing as opposed to the false sharing of the MemTest. To do so it uses TrafficGen instances to generate the reads/writes, and MemCheckerMonitor combined with the MemChecker to check the validity of the read/written values. As a bonus, this script also enables the addition of prefetchers, and the traffic is created to have a mix of random addresses and linear strides. We use the TaggedPrefetcher since the packets do not have a request with a PC. At the moment the code is almost identical to the memtest.py script, and no effort has been made to factor out the construction of the tree. The challenge is that the instantiation and connection of the testers and monitors is done as part of the tree building.
2015-01-16config: add --root-device machine parameterCurtis Dunham
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.
2015-02-11config: Revamp memtest to allow testers on any levelAndreas Hansson
This patch revamps the memtest example script and allows for the insertion of testers at any level in the cache hierarchy. Previously all created topologies placed testers only at the very top, and the tree was thus entirely symmetric. With the changes made, it is possible to not only place testers at the leaf caches (L1), but also to connect testers at the L2, L3 etc. As part of the changes the object hierarchy is also simplified to ensure that the visual representation from the DOT printing looks sensible. Using SubSystems to group the objects is one of the key features.
2015-02-11cpu: Tidy up the MemTest and make false sharing more obviousAndreas Hansson
The MemTest class really only tests false sharing, and as such there was a lot of old cruft that could be removed. This patch cleans up the tester, and also makes it more clear what the assumptions are. As part of this simplification the reference functional memory is also removed. The regression configs using MemTest are updated to reflect the changes, and the stats will be bumped in a separate patch. The example config will be updated in a separate patch due to more extensive re-work. In a follow-on patch a new tester will be introduced that uses the MemChecker to implement true sharing.
2015-01-20scons: Do not build the InOrderCPUAndreas Hansson
One step closer to shifting focus to the MinorCPU.
2015-01-03arm: fix build_drive_system when not using default optionsAnthony Gutierrez
when trying to dual boot on arm build_drive_system will only use the default values for the dtb file, number of processors, and disk image. if you are using the non-default files by passing values on the command line for example, or by making a new entry in Benchmarks.py, the build config scripts will still look for the default files. this will lead to the wrong system files being used, or the simulator will fail if you do not have them.

2014-12-23config: Add options to take/resume from SimPoint checkpointsDam Sunwoo
More documentation at http://gem5.org/Simpoints Steps to profile, generate, and use SimPoints with gem5: 1. To profile workload and generate SimPoint BBV file, use the following option: --simpoint-profile --simpoint-interval <interval length> Requires single Atomic CPU and fastmem. <interval length> is in number of instructions. 2. Generate SimPoint analysis using SimPoint 3.2 from UCSD. (SimPoint 3.2 not included with this flow.) 3. To take gem5 checkpoints based on SimPoint analysis, use the following option: --take-simpoint-checkpoint=<simpoint file path>,<weight file path>,<interval length>,<warmup length> <simpoint file> and <weight file> is generated by SimPoint analysis tool from UCSD. SimPoint 3.2 format expected. <interval length> and <warmup length> are in number of instructions. 4. To resume from gem5 SimPoint checkpoints, use the following option: --restore-simpoint-checkpoint -r <N> --checkpoint-dir <simpoint checkpoint path> <N> is (SimPoint index + 1). E.g., "-r 1" will resume from SimPoint #0.
2014-12-04config: Add two options for setting the kernel command line.Gabe Black
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.
2014-11-23config, kvm: Enabling KvmCPU in SE modeAlexandru Dutu
This patch modifies se.py such that it can now use kvm cpu model.
2014-11-18configs: small fix to ruby portion of fs.py and se.pyNilay Vaish
In fs.py the io port controller was being attached to the iobus multiple times. This should be done only once. In se.py, the the option use_map was being set which no longer exists.
2014-11-06ruby: interface with classic memory controllerNilay Vaish
This patch is the final in the series. The whole series and this patch in particular were written with the aim of interfacing ruby's directory controller with the memory controller in the classic memory system. This is being done since ruby's memory controller has not being kept up to date with the changes going on in DRAMs. Classic's memory controller is more up to date and supports multiple different types of DRAM. This also brings classic and ruby ever more close. The patch also changes ruby's memory controller to expose the same interface.
2014-11-06ruby: single physical memory in fs modeNilay Vaish
Both ruby and the system used to maintain memory copies. With the changes carried for programmed io accesses, only one single memory is required for fs simulations. This patch sets the copy of memory that used to reside with the system to null, so that no space is allocated, but address checks can still be carried out. All the memory accesses now source and sink values to the memory maintained by ruby.
2014-10-29arm, tests: Update config files to more recent kernels and create 64-bit ↵Ali Saidi
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.
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.
2014-09-20mem: Rename Bus to XBar to better reflect its behaviourAndreas Hansson
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. --HG-- rename : src/mem/Bus.py => src/mem/XBar.py rename : src/mem/coherent_bus.cc => src/mem/coherent_xbar.cc rename : src/mem/coherent_bus.hh => src/mem/coherent_xbar.hh rename : src/mem/noncoherent_bus.cc => src/mem/noncoherent_xbar.cc rename : src/mem/noncoherent_bus.hh => src/mem/noncoherent_xbar.hh rename : src/mem/bus.cc => src/mem/xbar.cc rename : src/mem/bus.hh => src/mem/xbar.hh
2014-09-20cpu: use probes infrastructure to do simpoint profilingDam Sunwoo
Instead of having code embedded in cpu model to do simpoint profiling use the probes infrastructure to do it.
2014-09-01ruby: Fixes clock domains in configuration filesEmilio Castillo ext:(%2C%20Nilay%20Vaish%20%3Cnilay%40cs.wisc.edu%3E)
This patch fixes scripts related to ruby by adding the ruby clock domain. Now the L1 controllers and the Sequencer shares the cpu clock domain, while the rest of the components use the ruby clock domain. Before this patch, running simulations with the cpu clock set at 2GHz or 1GHz will output the same time results and could distort power measurements. Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>
2014-08-10config: Fix cache latency param in mem testRadhika Jagtap
This patch fixes the cache latency in mem test which is split into two params, hit and response latency as per BaseCache.
2014-04-01configs: use SimpleMemory when using ruby in se modeNilay Vaish
A recent changeset altered the default memory class to DRAMCtrl. In se mode, ruby uses the physical memory to check if a given address is within the bounds of the physical memory. SimpleMemory is enough for this. Moreover, SimpleMemory does not check whether it is connected or not, something which DRAMCtrl does.
2014-03-20config: ruby: rename _cpu_ruby_ports to _cpu_portsNilay Vaish
2014-03-20config: fs.py: move creating of test/drive systems to functionsNilay Vaish
The code that creates test and drive systems is being moved to separate functions so as to make the code more readable. Ultimately the two functions would be combined so that the replicated code is eliminated.
2014-03-20config: remove ruby_fs.pyNilay Vaish
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.
2014-03-20ruby: no piobus in se modeNilay Vaish
Piobus was recently added to se scripts for ruby so that the interrupt controller can be connected to something (required since the interrupt controller sends address range messages). This patch removes the piobus and instead, the pio port of ruby port will now ignore the range change messages in se mode.
2014-02-24ruby: correct errors in changeset 4eec7bdde5b0Nilay Vaish
Couple of errors were discovered in 4eec7bdde5b0 which necessitated this patch. Firstly, we create interrupt controllers in the se mode, but no piobus was being created. RubyPort, which earlier used to ignore range changes now forwards those to the piobus. The lack of piobus resulted in segmentation fault. This patch creates a piobus even in se mode. It is not created only when some tester is running. Secondly, I had missed out on modifying port connections for other coherence protocols.
2014-02-23ruby: route all packets through ruby portNilay Vaish
Currently, the interrupt controller in x86 is connected to the io bus directly. Therefore the packets between the io devices and the interrupt controller do not go through ruby. This patch changes ruby port so that these packets arrive at the ruby port first, which then routes them to their destination. Note that the patch does not make these packets go through the ruby network. That would happen in a subsequent patch.

2014-01-27config: allow more than 3GB of memory for x86 simulationsNilay Vaish
This patch edits the configuration files so that x86 simulations can have more than 3GB of memory. It also corrects a bug in the MemConfig.py script.
2014-01-24arm: Add support for ARMv8 (AArch64 & AArch32)ARM gem5 Developers
Note: AArch64 and AArch32 interworking is not supported. If you use an AArch64 kernel you are restricted to AArch64 user-mode binaries. This will be addressed in a later patch. Note: Virtualization is only supported in AArch32 mode. This will also be fixed in a later patch.

2013-10-17util: Streamline .apc project convertsion scriptDam Sunwoo
This Python script generates an ARM DS-5 Streamline .apc project based on gem5 run. To successfully convert, the gem5 runs needs to be run with the context-switch-based stats dump option enabled (The guest kernel also needs to be patched to allow gem5 interrogate its task information.) See help for more information.
