2018-09-12cpu: Replace the fastmem with a new CPU modelAndreas Sandberg
The AtomicSimpleCPU used to be able to access memory directly to speed up simulation if no caches are used. This is fine as long as no switching between CPU models is required. In order to switch to a new CPU model that requires caches, we currently need to checkpoint the system and restore it into a new configuration. The new 'atomic_noncaching' memory mode provides a solution that avoids this issue since caches are bypassed in this mode. This changeset removes the old fastmem option from the AtomicSimpleCPU and introduces a new CPU, NonCachingSimpleCPU, which derives from the AtomicSimpleCPU. The NonCachingSimpleCPU uses the same mechanism as the AtomicSimpleCPU used to use when accessing memory in when fastmem was enabled. This changeset also introduces a new switcheroo test that tests switching between a NonCachingSimpleCPU and a TimingSimpleCPU with caches.

2018-09-10configs: Use the same address ranges for dir and mem_ctrlsNikos Nikoleris
In Ruby, for every directory we create one memory controller for every range in the memory ranges. Previously the memory controllers and the directories created their address ranges independently and as a result a mismatch was possible. In fact, we assinged an interleaved address range with hasing for the memory controllers while the corresponding directories would be assigned the same interleaved address range without hashing. This change uses the address range of the memory controllers to populate the list of address ranges for the corresponding directory and avoid bugs due to code duplication.

2018-03-22mem-cache: Split array indexing and replacement policies.Daniel R. Carvalho
Replacement policies (LRU, Random) are currently considered as array indexing methods, but have completely different functionalities: - Array indexers determine the possible locations for block allocation. This information is used to generate replacement candidates when conflicts happen. - Replacement policies determine which of the replacement candidates should be evicted to make room for new allocations. For this reason, they were split into different classes. Advantages: - Easier and more straightforward to implement other replacement policies (RRIP, LFU, ARC, ...) - Allow easier future implementation of cache organization schemes As now we can't assure the use of sets, the previous way to create a true LRU is not viable. Now a timestamp_bits parameter controls how many bits are dedicated for the timestamp, and a true LRU can be achieved through an infinite number of bits (although a few bits suffice in practice).

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.

2017-08-03configs, arm: Fix incorrect use of mem_range in bL exampleAndreas Sandberg
The change "config: Change mem_range attribute naming in ARM SimpleSystem" modified the SimpleSystem class to be compatible with the MemConfig utility script. While doing so, the way we report the memory ranges supported by the system changed, which broke the bL example configration. This changeset introduces the necessary changes to make the script work again.

2017-08-03arm, config: Fix CPU names in ARM example configsAndreas Sandberg
The ARM example configs used to rely on CPU aliases for the AtomicSimpleCPU and KVM when configuring clusters. This broken when support for CPU aliases was removed ('config: Remove support for CPU aliases.'). This change updates the config scripts to use the full class names instead.

2017-08-01arch-arm: Switch to DTOnly as the default machine typeAndreas Sandberg
Old ARM systems used to pass the machine type in the ATAGS list passed to the kernel. This has been largely deprecated by the introduction of device trees. Switch to the DTOnly machine type by default in gem5 since all new platforms and kernel will require this behavior.

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.
