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.

2017-07-04config, arm: Don't import timing models for missing CPUsAndreas Sandberg
When importing the cores.arm package, we currently throw an exception if a timing model can't be imported due to a missing dependency (e.g., the required CPU model wasn't included in the build). This is undesirable since it prevents other, working, timing models from being added to the package. Wrap the import_module call in a try-except block and skip timing models that have missing dependencies.

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.

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.

2016-10-14config: Make configs/common a Python packageAndreas Hansson
Continue along the same line as the recent patch that made the Ruby-related config scripts Python packages and make also the configs/common directory a package. All affected config scripts are updated (hopefully). Note that this change makes it apparent that the current organisation and naming of the config directory and its subdirectories is rather chaotic. We mix scripts that are directly invoked with scripts that merely contain convenience functions. While it is not addressed in this patch we should follow up with a re-organisation of the config structure, and renaming of some of the packages.
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.
