2012-02-13MEM: Introduce the master/slave port roles in the Python classesAndreas Hansson
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.

There was a collision with a name used in fs.py, and that causes that script not to work when used with x86.

2012-01-25MEM: Fix fs.py by specifying the range size rather than endAndreas Hansson
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.

2012-01-23O3, Ruby: Forward invalidations from Ruby to O3 CPUNilay Vaish
This patch implements the functionality for forwarding invalidations and replacements from the L1 cache of the Ruby memory system to the O3 CPU. The implementation adds a list of ports to RubyPort. Whenever a replacement or an invalidation is performed, the L1 cache forwards this to all the ports, which is the LSQ in case of the O3 CPU.
2012-01-17MEM: Removing the default port peer from Python portsAndreas Hansson
In preparation for the introduction of Master and Slave ports, this patch removes the default port parameter in the Python port and thus forces the argument list of the Port to contain only the description. The drawback at this point is that the config port and dma port of PCI and DMA devices have to be connected explicitly. This is key for future diversification as the pio and config port are slaves, but the dma port is a master.
2012-01-17MEM: Make the bus bridge unidirectional and fixed address rangeAndreas Hansson
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.
2012-01-17MEM: Add port proxies instead of non-structural portsAndreas Hansson
Port proxies are used to replace non-structural ports, and thus enable all ports in the system to correspond to a structural entity. This has the advantage of accessing memory through the normal memory subsystem and thus allowing any constellation of distributed memories, address maps, etc. Most accesses are done through the "system port" that is used for loading binaries, debugging etc. For the entities that belong to the CPU, e.g. threads and thread contexts, they wrap the CPU data port in a port proxy. The following replacements are made: FunctionalPort > PortProxy TranslatingPort > SETranslatingPortProxy VirtualPort > FSTranslatingPortProxy --HG-- rename : src/mem/vport.cc => src/mem/fs_translating_port_proxy.cc rename : src/mem/vport.hh => src/mem/fs_translating_port_proxy.hh rename : src/mem/translating_port.cc => src/mem/se_translating_port_proxy.cc rename : src/mem/translating_port.hh => src/mem/se_translating_port_proxy.hh

2012-01-11Config: Add support for restoring using a timing CPUNilay Vaish
Currently there is an assumption that restoration from a checkpoint will happen by first restoring to an atomic CPU and then switching to a timing CPU. This patch adds support for directly restoring to a timing CPU. It adds a new option '--restore-with-cpu' which is used to specify the type of CPU to which the checkpoint should be restored to. It defaults to 'atomic' which was the case before.

There are two lines in O3CPU.py that set the dcache and icache tgts_per_mshr to 20, ignoring any pre-configured value of tgts_per_mshr. This patch removes these hardcoded lines from O3CPU.py and sets the default L1 cache mshr targets to 20. --HG-- extra : rebase_source : 6f92d950e90496a3102967442814e97dc84db08b
2011-11-04GARNET: adding a fault model for resilient on-chip network research.Tushar Krishna
This patch adds a fault model, which provides the probability of a number of architectural faults in the interconnection network (e.g., data corruption, misrouting). These probabilities can be used to realistically inject faults in GARNET and faithfully evaluate the effectiveness of novel resilient NoC architectures.

This patch drops RUBY as a compile time option. Instead the PROTOCOL option is used to figure out whether or not to build Ruby. If the specified protocol is 'None', then Ruby is not compiled.

2011-05-23config: revamp x86 config to avoid appending to SimObjectVectorsSteve Reinhardt
A significant contributor to the need for adoptOrphanParams() is the practice of appending to SimObjectVectors which have already been assigned as children. This practice sidesteps the assignment operation for those appended SimObjects, which is where parent/child relationships are typically established. This patch reworks the config scripts that use append() on SimObjectVectors, which all happen to be in the x86 system configuration. At some point in the future, I hope to make SimObjectVectors immutable (by deriving from tuple rather than list), at which time this patch will be necessary for correct operation. For now, it just avoids some of the warning messages that get printed in adoptOrphanParams().
2011-05-23config: tweak ruby configs to clean up hierarchySteve Reinhardt
Re-enabling implicit parenting (see previous patch) causes current Ruby config scripts to create some strange hierarchies and generate several warnings. This patch makes three general changes to address these issues. 1. The order of object creation in the ruby config files makes the L1 caches children of the sequencer rather than the controller; these config ciles are rewritten to assign the L1 caches to the controller first. 2. The assignment of the sequencer list to system.ruby.cpu_ruby_ports causes the sequencers to be children of system.ruby, generating warnings because they are already parented to their respective controllers. Changing this attribute to _cpu_ruby_ports fixes this because the leading underscore means this is now treated as a plain Python attribute rather than a child assignment. As a result, the configuration hierarchy changes such that, e.g., system.ruby.cpu_ruby_ports0 becomes system.l1_cntrl0.sequencer. 3. In the topology classes, the routers become children of some random internal link node rather than direct children of the topology. The topology classes are rewritten to assign the routers to the topology object first.
