2013-04-22arm: Enable support for triggering a sim panic on kernel panicsAndreas Sandberg
Add the options 'panic_on_panic' and 'panic_on_oops' to the LinuxArmSystem SimObject. When these option are enabled, the simulator panics when the guest kernel panics or oopses. Enable panic on panic and panic on oops in ARM-based test cases.
2013-01-07arm: Make ID registers ISA parametersAndreas Sandberg
This patch makes the values of ID_ISARx, MIDR, and FPSID configurable as ISA parameter values. Additionally, setMiscReg now ignores writes to all of the ID registers. Note: This moves the MIDR parameter from ArmSystem to ArmISA for consistency.
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.
2012-11-02ARM: dump stats and process info on context switchesDam Sunwoo
This patch enables dumping statistics and Linux process information on context switch boundaries (__switch_to() calls) that are used for Streamline integration (a graphical statistics viewer from ARM).
2012-09-25ARM: added support for flattened device tree blobsDam Sunwoo
Newer Linux kernels require DTB (device tree blobs) to specify platform configurations. The input DTB filename can be specified through gem5 parameters in LinuxArmSystem.
2012-06-05ARM: Fix MPIDR and MIDR register implementation.Chander Sudanthi
This change allows designating a system as MP capable or not as some bootloaders/kernels care that it's set right. You can have a single processor MP capable system, but you can't have a multi-processor UP only system. This change also fixes the initialization of the MIDR register.
2012-05-10ARM: guard masked symbol tables by defaultDam Sunwoo
Symbol tables masked with the loadAddrMask create redundant entries that could conflict with kernel function events that rely on the original addresses. This patch guards the creation of those masked symbol tables by default, with an option to enable them when needed (for early-stage kernel debugging, etc.)
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
2012-03-01ARM: Add support for Versatile Express extended memory mapAli Saidi
Also clean up how we create boot loader memory a bit.
2011-08-19ARM: Add VExpress_E support with PCIe to gem5Ali Saidi
2011-08-19ARM: Add support for Versatile Express boardsAli Saidi
2011-07-15ARM: Fix SWP/SWPB undefined instruction behaviorWade Walker
SWP and SWPB now throw an undefined instruction exception if SCTLR.SW == 0. This also required the MIDR to be changed slightly so programs can correctly determine that gem5 supports the ARM v7 behavior of SWP/SWPB (in ARM v6, SWP/SWPB were deprecated, but not disabled at CPU startup).
2011-05-13ARM: Better RealView/Versatile EB platform support.Chander Sudanthi
Add registers and components to better support the VersatileEB board. Made the MIDR and SYS_ID register parameters to ArmSystem and RealviewCtrl respectively.
2011-05-04ARM: Add support for loading the a bootloader and configuring parameters for itAli Saidi
2010-08-23ARM: Add system for ARM/Linux and bootstrappingAli Saidi
2010-08-23Loader: Make the load address mask be a parameter of the system rather than ↵Ali Saidi
a constant. This allows one two different OS requirements for the same ISA to be handled. Some OSes are compiled for a virtual address and need to be loaded into physical memory that starts at address 0, while other bare metal tools generate images that start at address 0.
