2012-11-02sim: Include object header files in SWIG interfacesAndreas Sandberg
When casting objects in the generated SWIG interfaces, SWIG uses classical C-style casts ( (Foo *)bar; ). In some cases, this can degenerate into the equivalent of a reinterpret_cast (mainly if only a forward declaration of the type is available). This usually works for most compilers, but it is known to break if multiple inheritance is used anywhere in the object hierarchy. This patch introduces the cxx_header attribute to Python SimObject definitions, which should be used to specify a header to include in the SWIG interface. The header should include the declaration of the wrapped object. We currently don't enforce header the use of the header attribute, but a warning will be generated for objects that do not use it.
2012-11-02ISA: generic Linux thread info supportDam Sunwoo
This patch takes the Linux thread info support scattered across different ISA implementations (currently in ARM, ALPHA, and MIPS), and unifies them into a single file. Adds a few more helper functions to read out TGID, mm, etc. ISA-specific information (e.g., ALPHA PCBB register) is now moved to the corresponding isa_traits.hh files.
2012-10-15Checkpoint: Make system serialize call childrenAndreas Hansson
This patch changes how the serialization of the system works. The base class had a non-virtual serialize and unserialize, that was hidden by a function with the same name for a number of subclasses (most likely not intentional as the base class should have been virtual). A few of the derived systems had no specialization at all (e.g. Power and x86 that simply called the System::serialize), but MIPS and Alpha adds additional symbol table entries to the checkpoint. Instead of overriding the virtual function, the additional entries are now printed through a virtual function (un)serializeSymtab. The reason for not calling System::serialize from the two related systems is that a follow up patch will require the system to also serialize the PhysicalMemory, and if this is done in the base class if ends up being between the general parts and the specialized symbol table. With this patch, the checkpoint is not modified, as the order of the segments is unchanged.
2012-08-28Clock: Add a Cycles wrapper class and use where applicableAndreas Hansson
This patch addresses the comments and feedback on the preceding patch that reworks the clocks and now more clearly shows where cycles (relative cycle counts) are used to express time. Instead of bumping the existing patch I chose to make this a separate patch, merely to try and focus the discussion around a smaller set of changes. The two patches will be pushed together though. This changes done as part of this patch are mostly following directly from the introduction of the wrapper class, and change enough code to make things compile and run again. There are definitely more places where int/uint/Tick is still used to represent cycles, and it will take some time to chase them all down. Similarly, a lot of parameters should be changed from Param.Tick and Param.Unsigned to Param.Cycles. In addition, the use of curTick is questionable as there should not be an absolute cycle. Potential solutions can be built on top of this patch. There is a similar situation in the o3 CPU where lastRunningCycle is currently counting in Cycles, and is still an absolute time. More discussion to be had in other words. An additional change that would be appropriate in the future is to perform a similar wrapping of Tick and probably also introduce a Ticks class along with suitable operators for all these classes.
2012-08-16Alpha System: override startup(), instead of loadState()Nilay Vaish
Alpha System was overriding loadState() function to setup some functional event. The system tried to read/write to memory before the Ruby memory had unserialized the state. With this patch, Alpha System overrides the startup() function, and sets up functional events in this function. This works because startup() is called after Ruby memory system has unserialized the memory state.
2012-08-15sysemul: bump all linux versions of for syscal emulation to 3.0.Ali Saidi
New tool chains seem to be looking for kernel versions newer than what this this was previously set to. Also take this opportunity to change the hostname we report in uname to sim.gem5.org.
2012-08-06syscall emulation: Enabled getrlimit and getrusage for x86.Marc Orr
Added/moved rlimit constants to base linux header file. This patch is a revised version of Vince Weaver's earlier patch.
2012-08-06syscall emulation: Clean up ioctl handling, and implement for x86.Marc Orr
Enable different whitelists for different OS/arch combinations, since some use the generic Linux definitions only, and others use definitions inherited from earlier Unix flavors on those architectures. Also update x86 function pointers so ioctl is no longer unimplemented on that platform. This patch is a revised version of Vince Weaver's earlier patch.

DynInst is extremely large the hope is that this re-organization will put the most used members close to each other.
2012-06-04ISA: Turn the ExtMachInst NoopMachinst into the StaticInstPtr NoopStaticInst.Gabe Black
This eliminates a use of the ExtMachInst type outside of the ISAs.
2012-05-26ISA,CPU: Generalize and split out the components of the decode cache.Gabe Black

2012-04-23ISA: Put parser generated files in a "generated" directory.Gabe Black
This is to avoid collision with non-generated files.
2012-04-14clang/gcc: Fix compilation issues with clang 3.0 and gcc 4.6Andreas Hansson
This patch addresses a number of minor issues that cause problems when compiling with clang >= 3.0 and gcc >= 4.6. Most importantly, it avoids using the deprecated ext/hash_map and instead uses unordered_map (and similarly so for the hash_set). To make use of the new STL containers, g++ and clang has to be invoked with "-std=c++0x", and this is now added for all gcc versions >= 4.6, and for clang >= 3.0. For gcc >= 4.3 and <= 4.5 and clang <= 3.0 we use the tr1 unordered_map to avoid the deprecation warning. The addition of c++0x in turn causes a few problems, as the compiler is more stringent and adds a number of new warnings. Below, the most important issues are enumerated: 1) the use of namespaces is more strict, e.g. for isnan, and all headers opening the entire namespace std are now fixed. 2) another other issue caused by the more stringent compiler is the narrowing of the embedded python, which used to be a char array, and is now unsigned char since there were values larger than 128. 3) a particularly odd issue that arose with the new c++0x behaviour is found in range.hh, where the operator< causes gcc to complain about the template type parsing (the "<" is interpreted as the beginning of a template argument), and the problem seems to be related to the begin/end members introduced for the range-type iteration, which is a new feature in c++11. As a minor update, this patch also fixes the build flags for the clang debug target that used to be shared with gcc and incorrectly use "-ggdb".
2012-04-06MEM: Enable multiple distributed generalized memoriesAndreas Hansson
This patch removes the assumption on having on single instance of PhysicalMemory, and enables a distributed memory where the individual memories in the system are each responsible for a single contiguous address range. All memories inherit from an AbstractMemory that encompasses the basic behaviuor of a random access memory, and provides untimed access methods. What was previously called PhysicalMemory is now SimpleMemory, and a subclass of AbstractMemory. All future types of memory controllers should inherit from AbstractMemory. To enable e.g. the atomic CPU and RubyPort to access the now distributed memory, the system has a wrapper class, called PhysicalMemory that is aware of all the memories in the system and their associated address ranges. This class thus acts as an infinitely-fast bus and performs address decoding for these "shortcut" accesses. Each memory can specify that it should not be part of the global address map (used e.g. by the functional memories by some testers). Moreover, each memory can be configured to be reported to the OS configuration table, useful for populating ATAG structures, and any potential ACPI tables. Checkpointing support currently assumes that all memories have the same size and organisation when creating and resuming from the checkpoint. A future patch will enable a more flexible re-organisation. --HG-- rename : src/mem/PhysicalMemory.py => src/mem/AbstractMemory.py rename : src/mem/PhysicalMemory.py => src/mem/SimpleMemory.py rename : src/mem/physical.cc => src/mem/abstract_mem.cc rename : src/mem/physical.hh => src/mem/abstract_mem.hh rename : src/mem/physical.cc => src/mem/simple_mem.cc rename : src/mem/physical.hh => src/mem/simple_mem.hh
2012-03-19gcc: Clean-up of non-C++0x compliant code, first stepsAndreas Hansson
This patch cleans up a number of minor issues aiming to get closer to compliance with the C++0x standard as interpreted by gcc and clang (compile with std=c++0x and -pedantic-errors). In particular, the patch cleans up enums where the last item was succeded by a comma, namespaces closed by a curcly brace followed by a semi-colon, and the use of the GNU-extension typeof (replaced by templated functions). It does not address variable-length arrays, zero-size arrays, anonymous structs, range expressions in switch statements, and the use of long long. The generated CPU code also has a large number of issues that remain to be fixed, mainly related to overflows in implicit constant conversion (due to shifts).
2012-03-19clang: Fix recently introduced clang compilation errorsAndreas Hansson
This patch makes the code compile with clang 2.9 and 3.0 again by making two very minor changes. Firt, it maintains a strict typing in the forward declaration of the BaseCPUParams. Second, it adds a FullSystemInt flag of the type unsigned int next to the boolean FullSystem flag. The FullSystemInt variable can be used in decode-statements (expands to switch statements) in the instruction decoder.
2012-03-09CheckerCPU: Add function stubs to non-ARM ISA source to compile with CheckerCPUGeoffrey Blake
Making the CheckerCPU a runtime time option requires the code to be compatible with ISAs other than ARM. This patch adds the appropriate function stubs to allow compilation.
2012-03-09System: Move code in initState() back into constructor whenever possible.Ali Saidi
The change to port proxies recently moved code out of the constructor into initState(). This is needed for code that loads data into memory, however for code that setups symbol tables, kernel based events, etc this is the wrong thing to do as that code is only called when a checkpoint isn't being restored from.
2012-02-24MEM: Make port proxies use references rather than pointersAndreas Hansson
This patch is adding a clearer design intent to all objects that would not be complete without a port proxy by making the proxies members rathen than dynamically allocated. In essence, if NULL would not be a valid value for the proxy, then we avoid using a pointer to make this clear. The same approach is used for the methods using these proxies, such as loadSections, that now use references rather than pointers to better reflect the fact that NULL would not be an acceptable value (in fact the code would break and that is how this patch started out). Overall the concept of "using a reference to express unconditional composition where a NULL pointer is never valid" could be done on a much broader scale throughout the code base, but for now it is only done in the locations affected by the proxies.
2012-01-31Merge with head, hopefully the last time for this batch.Gabe Black
2012-01-31clang: Enable compiling gem5 using clang 2.9 and 3.0Koan-Sin Tan
This patch adds the necessary flags to the SConstruct and SConscript files for compiling using clang 2.9 and later (on Ubuntu et al and OSX XCode 4.2), and also cleans up a bunch of compiler warnings found by clang. Most of the warnings are related to hidden virtual functions, comparisons with unsigneds >= 0, and if-statements with empty bodies. A number of mismatches between struct and class are also fixed. clang 2.8 is not working as it has problems with class names that occur in multiple namespaces (e.g. Statistics in kernel_stats.hh). clang has a bug (http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=7247) which causes confusion between the container std::set and the function Packet::set, and this is currently addressed by not including the entire namespace std, but rather selecting e.g. "using std::vector" in the appropriate places.

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.

2012-01-16Alpha: warn_once about broken PAL breakpoints.Steve Reinhardt
A recent changeset (aae12ce9f34c) removed support for PAL-mode breakpoints in Alpha, since it was awkward and likely unused. This patch lets a user know if they potentially run into this limitation.

2011-10-30System: Push boot_cpu_frequency down into the subclasses that actually use it.Gabe Black
This parameter depends on a number of coincidences to work properly. First, there must be an array assigned to system called "cpu" even though there's no parameter called that. Second, the items in the "cpu" array have to have a "clock" parameter which has a "frequency" member. This is true of the normal CPUs, but isn't true of the memory tester CPUs. This happened to work before because the memory tester CPUs were only used in SE mode where this parameter was being excluded. Since everything is being pulled into a common binary, this won't work any more. Since the boot_cpu_frequency parameter is only used by Alpha's Linux System object (and Mips's through copy and paste), the definition of that parameter is moved down to those objects specifically.
2011-10-22SE: move page allocation from PageTable to ProcessSteve Reinhardt
PageTable supported an allocate() call that called back through the Process to allocate memory, but did not have a method to map addresses without allocating new pages. It makes more sense for Process to do the allocation, so this method was renamed allocateMem() and moved to Process, and uses a new map() call on PageTable. The remaining uses of the process pointer in PageTable were only to get the name and the PID, so by passing these in directly in the constructor, we can make PageTable completely independent of Process.

2011-10-09SE/FS: Build the Interrupt objects in SE mode.Gabe Black
2011-09-30SE/FS: Remove System::platform and Platform::intrFrequency.Gabe Black
In order for a system object to work in SE mode and FS mode, it has to either always require a platform object even in SE mode, or get rid of the requirement all together. Making SE mode carry around unnecessary/unused bits of FS seems less than ideal, so I decided to go with the second option. The platform pointer in the System class was used for exactly one purpose, a path for the Alpha Linux system object to get to the real time clock and read its frequency so that it could short cut the loops_per_jiffy calculation. There was also a copy and pasted implementation in MIPS, but since it was only there because it was there in Alpha I still count that as one use. This change reverses the mechanism that communicates the RTC frequency so that the Tsunami platform object pushes it up to the AlphaSystem object. This is slightly less specific than it could be because really only the AlphaLinuxSystem uses it. Because the intrFrequency function on the Platform class was no longer necessary (and unimplemented on anything but Alpha) it was eliminated. After this change, a platform will need to have a system, but a system won't have to have a platform.
2011-09-30SE/FS: Use the new FullSystem constant where possible.Gabe Black
2011-09-27Faults: Replace calls to genMachineCheckFault with M5PanicFault.Gabe Black
2011-09-26ISA parser: Use '_' instead of '.' to delimit type modifiers on operands.Gabe Black
By using an underscore, the "." is still available and can unambiguously be used to refer to members of a structure if an operand is a structure, class, etc. This change mostly just replaces the appropriate "."s with "_"s, but there were also a few places where the ISA descriptions where handling the extensions themselves and had their own regular expressions to update. The regular expressions in the isa parser were updated as well. It also now looks for one of the defined type extensions specifically after connecting "_" where before it would look for any sequence of characters after a "." following an operand name and try to use it as the extension. This helps to disambiguate cases where a "_" may legitimately be part of an operand name but not separate the name from the type suffix. Because leaving the "_" and suffix on the variable name still leaves a valid C++ identifier and all extensions need to be consistent in a given context, I considered leaving them on as a breadcrumb that would show what the intended type was for that operand. Unfortunately the operands can be referred to in code templates, the Mem operand in particular, and since the exact type of Mem can be different for different uses of the same template, that broke things.
2011-09-19Faults: Get rid of the unused isAlignmentFault and isMachineCheckFault.Gabe Black
These functions aren't called anywhere and are probably only theoretically useful.
2011-09-19Alpha: Get rid of some #if FULL_SYSTEMs in the Alpha ISA description.Gabe Black

2011-09-18Pseudoinst: Add an initParam pseudo inst function.Gabe Black
2011-09-09StaticInst: Merge StaticInst and StaticInstBase.Gabe Black
Having two StaticInst classes, one nominally ISA dependent and the other ISA dependent, has not been historically useful and makes the StaticInst class more complicated that it needs to be. This change merges StaticInstBase into StaticInst.
2011-09-09Decode: Pull instruction decoding out of the StaticInst class into its own.Gabe Black
This change pulls the instruction decoding machinery (including caches) out of the StaticInst class and puts it into its own class. This has a few intrinsic benefits. First, the StaticInst code, which has gotten to be quite large, gets simpler. Second, the code that handles decode caching is now separated out into its own component and can be looked at in isolation, making it easier to understand. I took the opportunity to restructure the code a bit which will hopefully also help. Beyond that, this change also lays some ground work for each ISA to have its own, potentially stateful decode object. We'd be able to include less contextualizing information in the ExtMachInst objects since that context would be applied at the decoder. Also, the decoder could "know" ahead of time that all the instructions it's going to see are going to be, for instance, 64 bit mode, and it will have one less thing to check when it decodes them. Because the decode caching mechanism has been separated out, it's now possible to have multiple caches which correspond to different types of decoding context. Having one cache for each element of the cross product of different configurations may become prohibitive, so it may be desirable to clear out the cache when relatively static state changes and not to have one for each setting. Because the decode function is no longer universally accessible as a static member of the StaticInst class, a new function was added to the ThreadContexts that returns the applicable decode object.
