2018-03-06scons: Switch from the print statement to the print function.Gabe Black
Starting with version 3, scons imposes using the print function instead of the print statement in code it processes. To get things building again, this change moves all python code within gem5 to use the function version. Another change by another author separately made this same change to the site_tools and site_init.py files.

2017-12-13scons, tests: Fix occasional linking errorAndreas Sandberg
There are some cases where scons incorrectly adds the same object multiple times to the linker command line. This seems to be caused by the test's source list being updated in place when determining test framework dependencies. Fix this by explicitly copying the source list and manipulate the copy. Without this change, the following command fails: scons ./build/ARM/unittests.opt/base/pixeltest.xml Whereas this command succeeds: scons ./build/ARM/base/pixeltest.opt Change-Id: I642efdf9d62a5478e49ba51efe1a3a5ba453e21f Signed-off-by: Andreas Sandberg <andreas.sandberg@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Jack Travaglini <giacomo.travaglini@arm.com> Reviewed-on: https://gem5-review.googlesource.com/6641 Reviewed-by: Jason Lowe-Power <jason@lowepower.com> Reviewed-by: Gabe Black <gabeblack@google.com>

2017-12-07tests: Accept SourceFilters as sources for GTest.Gabe Black
This change introduces the idea of a SourceFilter which is an object that can filter a SourceList and which can be composed with other SourceFilters using | and & operators. This means a filter can be constructed ahead of time, possibly before all sources have been discovered, and then later applied to any SourceList necessary. This change also modifies GTest so that it accepts SourceFilters in addition to normal source files. These filters will be applied to the final list of all sources, and the result included in the build for that test. By default, gtests will build in all sources tagged with 'gtest lib'. This change also introduces the keyword argument "skip_lib" which will exclude those files. They can then be left out entirely, or they can be re-included as part of a more elaborate filter. That would be useful if someone wanted to write a unit test for, for instance, the warn, etc. macros which rely on the gtest logging support. Those classes could be replaced by something under the control of the unit test, while still including the rest of the gtest library.

2017-12-07tests: Add a pseudo target to run all the unit tests for build/variant.Gabe Black
Telling scons to build build/${BUILD_OPTS}/unittests.${VARIANT} will get it to build and run all googletest based unit tests under the ${BUILD_OPTS} build options (ARM, ALPHA, X86, etc.), and compiled with the flags, etc., for the ${VARIANT} variant (ie. opt, debug, etc.). This will make it easy to run the unit tests without having to actually know where they are, what tests are available, etc. This target is called unittests* and not something based on gtest or googletest since it's my intention for all unit tests to be based on googletest, making the distinction unnecessary. Since the target is essentially part of the external interface for scons, I wanted to name it something general so it'll be less likely that we have to change it.

This change adds two dicts to the SourceFile class, one for static and one for shared object files, which are keyed off of the appropriate suffix. If a suffix hasn't been set up yet, a new node of the appropriate type is set up and stored in the cache, and then whatever is in the cache (new or old) is returned.

2017-11-27scons: Switch from "guards" to "tags" on source files.Gabe Black
Tags are just arbitrary strings which are attached to source files which mark them as having some property. By default, all source files have the "gem5 lib" tag added to them which marks them as part of the gem5 library, the primary component of the gem5 binary but also a seperable component for use in, for example, system C. The tags can be completely overridden by setting the "tags" parameter on Source, etc., functions, and can be augmented by setting "add_tags" which are tags that will be added, or alternatively additional tags. It's possible to specify both, in which case the tags will be set to the union of tags and add_tags. add_tags is supposed to be a way to add extra tags to the default without actually overriding the default. Both tags and add_tags can be a list/tuple/etc of tags, or a single string which will be converted into a set internally. Other existing tags include: 1. "python" for files that need or are used with python and are excluded when the --without-python option is set 2. "main" for the file(s) which implement the gem5 binary's main function. 3. The name of a unit test to group its files together. 4. Tags which group source files for partial linking. By grouping the "tags" into a single parameter instead of taking all extra parameters as tags, the extra parameters can, in the future, be passed to the underlying scons environment. Also, the tags are either present or not. With guards, they could be present and True, present and False, or not present at all.

2017-06-06scons: Try to handle problems with gcc, lto and partial linking.Gabe Black
gcc has had a lot of problems with incremental linking and partial linking at the same time. Basically, the partial link assumes that it's the only link that's going to happen, and it converts weak external symbols into regular external symbols. Then when the real final link happens, those symbols are duplicated and the link fails. Versions of gcc 6 and greater add an option called -flinker-output which lets you tell the linker to do an incremental link. Unfortunately, other bugs make that fail, and so gcc 6 doesn't work either. Hopefully version 7 works better. A --force-lto option was added so that, when only one of lto and partial linking is available, you can switch from having partial linking to having lto.

2017-05-02python: Use PyBind11 instead of SWIG for Python wrappersAndreas Sandberg
Use the PyBind11 wrapping infrastructure instead of SWIG to generate wrappers for functionality that needs to be exported to Python. This has several benefits: * PyBind11 can be redistributed with gem5, which means that we have full control of the version used. This avoid a large number of hard-to-debug SWIG issues we have seen in the past. * PyBind11 doesn't rely on a custom C++ parser, instead it relies on wrappers being explicitly declared in C++. The leads to slightly more boiler-plate code in manually created wrappers, but doesn't doesn't increase the overall code size. A big benefit is that this avoids strange compilation errors when SWIG doesn't understand modern language features. * Unlike SWIG, there is no risk that the wrapper code incorporates incorrect type casts (this has happened on numerous occasions in the past) since these will result in compile-time errors. As a part of this change, the mechanism to define exported methods has been redesigned slightly. New methods can be exported either by declaring them in the SimObject declaration and decorating them with the cxxMethod decorator or by adding an instance of PyBindMethod/PyBindProperty to the cxx_exports class variable. The decorator has the added benefit of making it possible to add a docstring and naming the method's parameters. The new wrappers have the following known issues: * Global events can't be memory managed correctly. This was the case in SWIG as well.

2016-06-28scons: Track swig packages when loading embedded swig codeAndreas Hansson
This patch changes how the embedded swig code is loaded to ensure that gem5 works with swig 3.0.9. For Python 2.7 and above, swig 3.0.9 now relies on importlib, and actually looks in the appropriate packages, even for the wrapped C code. However, the swig wrapper does not explicitly place the module in the right package (it just calls Py_InitModule), and we have to take explicit action to ensure that the swig code can be loaded. This patch adds the information to the generated wrappers and the appropriate calls to set the context as part of the swig initialisation. Previous versions of swig used to fall back on looking in the global namespace for the wrappers (and still do for Python 2.6), but technically things should not work without the functionality in this patch.

2016-03-13scons: fix building in non-standard locationsSteve Reinhardt
It's apparently not widely known that our scons scripts allow you to put the build directory wherever you want; not only does it not have to be immediately under the root of your repo, it doesn't even have to be underneath the root at all. (For example, sometimes it's useful to build on a local disk if your repo is on a slow NFS mount.) I point this out because this functionality has been broken for close to two years but no one seems to have noticed yet. This patch fixes an assumption that crept in in changeset be0e1724eb39 (May 09 2014) that the build dir would be immediately under the top level of the repo, preventing builds anywhere else.

2015-09-02sim: tag-based checkpoint versioningCurtis Dunham
This commit addresses gem5 checkpoints' linear versioning bottleneck. Since development is distributed across many private trees, there exists a sort of 'race' for checkpoint version numbers: internally a checkpoint version may be used but then resynchronizing with the external tree causes a conflict on that version. This change replaces the linear version number with a set of unique strings called tags. Now the only conflicts that can arise are of tag names, where collisions are much easier to avoid. The checkpoint upgrader (util/cpt_upgrader.py) upgrades the version representation, as one would expect. Each tag version implements its upgrader code in a python file in the util/cpt_upgraders directory rather than adding a function to the upgrader script itself. The version tags are stored in the 'Globals' section rather than 'root' (as the version was previously) because 'Globals' gets unserialized first and can provide a warning before any other unserialization errors can occur.

The macro can be used to indicate that a legacy API within gem5 has been deprecated and provide a graceful migration to the new API.
2015-02-11base: Do not dereference NULL in CompoundFlag creationAndreas Hansson
This patch fixes the CompoundFlag constructor, ensuring that it does not dereference NULL. Doing so has undefined behaviuor, and both clang and gcc's undefined-behaviour sanitiser was rather unhappy.
2014-12-02scons: Ensure dictionary iteration is sorted by keyAndreas Hansson
This patch adds sorting based on the SimObject name or parameter name for all situations where we iterate over dictionaries. This should ensure a deterministic and consistent order across the host systems and hopefully avoid regression results differing across python versions.
2014-10-16arch,x86,mem: Dynamically determine the ISA for Ruby store checkAndreas Hansson
This patch makes the memory system ISA-agnostic by enabling the Ruby Sequencer to dynamically determine if it has to do a store check. To enable this check, the ISA is encoded as an enum, and the system is able to provide the ISA to the Sequencer at run time. --HG-- rename : src/arch/x86/insts/microldstop.hh => src/arch/x86/ldstflags.hh
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.
2014-10-16scons: Add Undefined Behavior Sanitizer (UBSan) optionAndreas Hansson
This patch adds the Undefined Behavior Sanitizer (UBSan) for clang and gcc >= 4.9. Due to the performance impact, the usage is guarded by a command-line option.

2014-10-16config: Add a --without-python option to build processAndrew Bardsley
Add the ability to build libgem5 without embedded Python or the ability to configure with Python. This is a prelude to a patch to allow config.ini files to be loaded into libgem5 using only C++ which would make embedding gem5 within other simulation systems easier. This adds a few registration interfaces to things which cross between Python and C++. Namely: stats dumping and SimObject resolving
