2019-01-11misc: updated shabang for python scriptAndrea Mondelli
The default python on MacOS doesn’t have an alias to python2. The official python version supported in gem5 is Python2.7. This patch updates the shabang according to the version required in gem5.

googlemock needs to be built together with googletest. This patch is enabling it by doing the following things * Moving googletest and googlemock under the same top level directory, so that we have a single SConscript for building them. This also matches googletest directory structure: googletest |_googletest |_googlemock * Adding a shared SConscript which is building gmock and gtest as libgtest * Removing googletest/SConscript Change-Id: I88accbdd2e80fb47efaa17819233371fbad6acaa Signed-off-by: Giacomo Travaglini <giacomo.travaglini@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Ciro Santilli <ciro.santilli@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Nikos Nikoleris <nikos.nikoleris@arm.com> Reviewed-on: https://gem5-review.googlesource.com/c/14696 Reviewed-by: Gabe Black <gabeblack@google.com> Maintainer: Gabe Black <gabeblack@google.com>

2017-12-14misc: Updates for gcc7.2 for x86Jason Lowe-Power
GCC 7.2 is much stricter than previous GCC versions. The following changes are needed: * There is now a warning if there is an implicit fallthrough between two case statments. C++17 adds the [[fallthrough]]; declaration. However, to support non C++17 standards (i.e., C++11), we use M5_FALLTHROUGH. M5_FALLTHROUGH checks for [[fallthrough]] compliant C++17 compiler and if that doesn't exist, it defaults to nothing (no older compilers generate warnings). * The above resulted in a couple of bugs that were found. This is noted in the review request on gerrit. * throw() for dynamic exception specification is deprecated * There were a couple of new uninitialized variable warnings * Can no longer perform bitwise operations on a bool. * Must now include <functional> for std::function * Compiler bug for void* lambda. Changed to auto as work around.

2017-11-16ext, mem: Pull DRAMPower SHA 90d6290 and rebaseRadhika Jagtap
This patch syncs the DRAMPower library of gem5 to the external github (https://github.com/ravenrd/DRAMPower). The version pulled in is the commit: 90d6290f802c29b3de9e10233ceee22290907ce6 from 30th Oct. 2016. This change also modifies the DRAM Ctrl interaction with the DRAMPower, due to changes in the lib API in the above version. Previously multiple functions were called to prepare the power lib before calling the function that would calculate the enery. With the new API, these functions are encompassed inside the function to calculate the energy and therefore should now be removed from the DRAM controller. The other key difference is the introduction of a new function called calcWindowEnergy which can be useful for any system that wants to do measurements over intervals. For gem5 DRAM ctrl that means we now need to accumulate the window energy measurements into the total stat.

2017-05-29ext: Revamp the systemc SConscripts.Gabe Black
The existing scripts were including pthread code and QT code at the same time, and also insisting on an having a set of architecture specific source files for whatever the current architecture is. This change selects using either QT or pthreads based on the host architecture, distributes accumulating source files, list source files explicitly (to avoid including redundant coroutine libraries) and makes scons insist on an architecture specific QT implementation only if QT is being used. It also defines a preprocessor symbol which tells some headers whether or not pthreads are being used, and also clones the scons environment to avoid leaking flags into the main environment used to compile gem5 itself. If the host architecture isn't supported by systemc, a warning will be printed, and the various build products and SConscript files will be skipped over.

In the past it happened several times that some changes in gem5 broke the SystemC coupling. Recently Accelera has changed the licence for SystemC from their own licence to Apache2.0, which is compatible with gem5. However, SystemC usually relies on the Boost library, but I was able to exchange the boost calls by c++11 alternatives. The recent SystemC version is placed into /ext and is integrated into gem5's build system. The goal is to integrate some SystemC tests for the CI in some following patches.

2016-11-30arch: [Patch 1/5] Added RISC-V base instruction set RV64IAlec Roelke
First of five patches adding RISC-V to GEM5. This patch introduces the base 64-bit ISA (RV64I) in src/arch/riscv for use with syscall emulation. The multiply, floating point, and atomic memory instructions will be added in additional patches, as well as support for more detailed CPU models. The loader is also modified to be able to parse RISC-V ELF files, and a "Hello world\!" example for RISC-V is added to test-progs. Patch 2 will implement the multiply extension, RV64M; patch 3 will implement the floating point (single- and double-precision) extensions, RV64FD; patch 4 will implement the atomic memory instructions, RV64A, and patch 5 will add support for timing, minor, and detailed CPU models that is missing from the first four patches (such as handling locked memory).

2016-04-07mem: Remove threadId from memory request classMitch Hayenga
In general, the ThreadID parameter is unnecessary in the memory system as the ContextID is what is used for the purposes of locks/wakeups. Since we allocate sequential ContextIDs for each thread on MT-enabled CPUs, ThreadID is unnecessary as the CPUs can identify the requesting thread through sideband info (SenderState / LSQ entries) or ContextID offset from the base ContextID for a cpu.

2015-04-08ext: Add SST connectorCurtis Dunham
This patch adds a connector that allows gem5 to be used as a component in SST (Structural Simulation Toolkit, sst-simulator.org). At a high level, this allows memory traffic to pass between the two simulators. SST Links are roughly analogous to gem5 Ports, although Links do not have a notion of master and slave. This distinction is important to gem5, so when connecting a gem5 CPU to an SST cache, an ExternalSlave must be used, and similarly when connecting the memory side of SST cache to a gem5 port (for memory <-> I/O), an ExternalMaster must be used. These connectors handle the administrative aspects of gem5 (initialization, simulation, shutdown) as well as translating SST's MemEvents into gem5 Packets and vice-versa.

This patch includes software engineering changes and some generic bug fixes Joel Hestness and Yasuko Eckert made to McPAT 0.8. There are still known issues/concernts we did not have a chance to address in this patch. High-level changes in this patch include: 1) Making XML parsing modular and hierarchical: - Shift parsing responsibility into the components - Read XML in a (mostly) context-free recursive manner so that McPAT input files can contain arbitrary component hierarchies 2) Making power, energy, and area calculations a hierarchical and recursive process - Components track their subcomponents and recursively call compute functions in stages - Make C++ object hierarchy reflect inheritance of classes of components with similar structures - Simplify computeArea() and computeEnergy() functions to eliminate successive calls to calculate separate TDP vs. runtime energy - Remove Processor component (now unnecessary) and introduce a more abstract System component 3) Standardizing McPAT output across all components - Use a single, common data structure for storing and printing McPAT output - Recursively call print functions through component hierarchy 4) For caches, allow splitting data array and tag array reads and writes for better accuracy 5) Improving the usability of CACTI by printing more helpful warning and error messages 6) Minor: Impose more rigorous code style for clarity (more work still to be done) Overall, these changes greatly reduce the amount of replicated code, and they improve McPAT runtime and decrease memory footprint.
