Don't consult the TLB test interface for PA's returned by functional
translations by the AT instruction. We implement this by chaning the
ISA code to synthesize 0-length functional reads for the TLB lookup.
The TLB then bypasses the final PA check in the tester if the size is
zero.

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.
This is a re-spin of 20264eb after the revert (bd1c6789) and includes
some fixes of that commit.

The decoder is responsible for splitting instructions in micro
operations (uops). Given that different micro architectures may split
operations differently, this patch allows to specify which micro
architecture each isa implements, so different cores in the system can
split instructions differently, also decoupling uop splitting
(microArch) from ISA (Arch). This is done making the decodification
calls templates that receive a type 'DecoderFlavour' that maps the
name of the operation to the class that implements it. This way there
is only one selection point (converting the command line enum to the
appropriate DecodeFeatures object). In addition, there is no explicit
code replication: template instantiation hides that, and the compiler
should be able to resolve a number of things at compile-time.

Adds per-thread interrupt controllers and thread/context logic
so that interrupts properly get routed in SMT systems.
|
|
There seems to have been a debug print left in when the original ARMv8
support was merged in. This printout is performed every time you
initialize a hardware thread, and it prints raw pointers, so it always
causes diffs in the regression. This patch removes the debug print.

This changeset cleans up the generic timer a bit and moves most of the
register juggling from the ISA code into a separate class in the same
source file as the rest of the generic timer. It also removes the
assumption that there is always 8 or fewer CPUs in the system. Instead
of having a fixed limit, we now instantiate per-core timers as they
are requested. This is all in preparation for other patches that add
support for virtual timers and a memory mapped interface.
|
|
With the recent patches addressing how we deal with uncacheable
accesses there is no longer need for the work arounds put in place to
enforce certain sections of memory to be uncacheable during boot.
|
|
The ISA code sometimes stores 16-bit ASIDs as 8-bit unsigned integers
and has a couple of inverted checks that mask out the high 8 bits of
an ASID if 16-bit ASIDs have been /enabled/. This changeset fixes both
of those issues.
|
|
This patch tidies up how we create and set the fields of a Request. In
essence it tries to use the constructor where possible (as opposed to
setPhys and setVirt), thus avoiding spreading the information across a
number of locations. In fact, setPhys is made private as part of this
patch, and a number of places where we callede setVirt instead uses
the appropriate constructor.

This patch adds support for filtering events in the PMU. In order to
do so, it updates the ISADevice base class to forward an ISA pointer
to ISA devices. This enables such devices to access the MiscReg file
to determine the current execution level.

Automatically extract cpu release address from DTB file.
Check SCTLR_EL1 to verify all caches are enabled.

This class implements a subset of the ARM PMU v3 specification as
described in the ARMv8 reference manual. It supports most of the
features of the PMU, however the following features are known to be
missing:
* Event filtering (e.g., from different privilege levels).
* Access controls (the PMU currently ignores the execution level).
* The chain counter (event no. 0x1E) is unimplemented.
The PMU itself does not implement any events, it merely provides an
interface for the configuration scripts to hook up probes that drive
events. Configuration scripts should call addEventProbe() to configure
custom events or high-level methods to configure architected
events. The Python implementation of addEventProbe() automatically
delays event type registration until after instantiation.
In order to support CPU switching and some combined counters (e.g.,
memory references synthesized from loads and stores), the PMU allows
multiple probes per event type. When creating a system that switches
between CPU models that share the same PMU, PMU events for all of the
CPU models can be registered with the PMU.
Kudos to Matt Horsnell for the initial gem5 implementation of the PMU.

Analogous to ee049bf (for x86). Requires a bump of the checkpoint version
and corresponding upgrader code to move the condition code register values
to the new register file.

Unimplemented miscregs for the generic timer were guarded by panics
in arm/isa.cc which can be tripped by the O3 model if it speculatively
executes a wrong path containing a mrs instruction with a bad miscreg
index. These registers were flagged as implemented and accessible.
This patch changes the miscreg info bit vector to flag them as
unimplemented and inaccessible. In this case, and UndefinedInst
fault will be generated if the register access is not trapped
by a hypervisor.

Note: AArch64 and AArch32 interworking is not supported. If you use an AArch64
kernel you are restricted to AArch64 user-mode binaries. This will be addressed
in a later patch.
Note: Virtualization is only supported in AArch32 mode. This will also be fixed
in a later patch.

This patch makes all the register index flattening methods const for
all the ISAs. As part of this, readMiscRegNoEffect for ARM is also
made const.
|
|
This patch removes the notion of a peer block size and instead sets
the cache line size on the system level.
Previously the size was set per cache, and communicated through the
interconnect. There were plenty checks to ensure that everyone had the
same size specified, and these checks are now removed. Another benefit
that is not yet harnessed is that the cache line size is now known at
construction time, rather than after the port binding. Hence, the
block size can be locally stored and does not have to be queried every
time it is used.
A follow-on patch updates the configuration scripts accordingly.

In order to see all registers independent of the current CPU mode, the
ARM architecture model uses the magic MISCREG_CPSR_MODE register to
change the register mappings without actually updating the CPU
mode. This hack is no longer needed since the thread context now
provides a flat interface to the register file. This patch replaces
the CPSR_MODE hack with the flat register interface.
|
|
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.
|
|
The ISA class on stores the contents of ID registers on many
architectures. In order to make reset values of such registers
configurable, we make the class inherit from SimObject, which allows
us to use the normal generated parameter headers.
This patch introduces a Python helper method, BaseCPU.createThreads(),
which creates a set of ISAs for each of the threads in an SMT
system. Although it is currently only needed when creating
multi-threaded CPUs, it should always be called before instantiating
the system as this is an obvious place to configure ID registers
identifying a thread/CPU.

This interface is no longer used, and getting rid of it simplifies the
decoders and code that sets up the decoders. The thread context had been used
to read architectural state which was used to contextualize the instruction
memory as it came in. That was changed so that the state is now sent to the
decoders to keep locally if/when it changes. That's significantly more
efficient.

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.

Enables the CheckerCPU to be selected at runtime with the --checker option
from the configs/example/fs.py and configs/example/se.py configuration
files. Also merges with the SE/FS changes.

New kernel code verifies that multi-processor extensions are available
before booting secondary CPUs.
|
|
Also clean up how we create boot loader memory a bit.

New kernels attempt to read CP14 what debug architecture is available.
These changes add the debug registers and return that none is currently
available.

This change adds a master id to each request object which can be
used identify every device in the system that is capable of issuing a request.
This is part of the way to removing the numCpus+1 stats in the cache and
replacing them with the master ids. This is one of a series of changes
that make way for the stats output to be changed to python.
|
|
Brings the CheckerCPU back to life to allow FS and SE checking of the
O3CPU. These changes have only been tested with the ARM ISA. Other
ISAs potentially require modification.

There are a set of locations is the linux kernel that are managed via
cache maintence instructions until all processors enable their MMUs & TLBs.
Writes to these locations are manually flushed from the cache to main
memory when the occur so that cores operating without their MMU enabled
and only issuing uncached accesses can receive the correct data. Unfortuantely,
gem5 doesn't support any kind of software directed maintence of the cache.
Until such time as that support exists this patch marks the specific cache blocks
that need to be coherent as non-cacheable until all CPUs enable their MMU and
thus allows gem5 to boot MP systems with caches enabled (a requirement for
booting an O3 cpu and thus an O3 CPU regression).

Adds MISCREG_ID_MMFR2 and removes break on access to MISCREG_CLIDR. Both
registers now return values that are consistent with current ARM
implementations.
|
|
Move the saturating bit (which is also saturating) from the renamed register
that holds the flags to the CPSR miscreg and adds a allows setting it in a
similar way to the FP saturating registers. This removes a dependency in
instructions that don't write, but need to preserve the Q bit.
|
|
Add registers and components to better support the VersatileEB board.
Made the MIDR and SYS_ID register parameters to ArmSystem and RealviewCtrl
respectively.
|
|
|
|
At the same time, rename the trace flags to debug flags since they
have broader usage than simply tracing. This means that
--trace-flags is now --debug-flags and --trace-help is now --debug-help

This change fixes a small bug in the arm copyRegs() code where some registers
wouldn't be copied if the processor was in a mode other than MODE_USER.
Additionally, this change simplifies the way the O3 switchCpu code works by
utilizing TheISA::copyRegs() to copy the required context information
rather than the adhoc copying that goes on in the CPU model. The current code
makes assumptions about the visibility of int and float registers that aren't
true for all architectures in FS mode.
|
|
Only certain bits of the cpacr can be written, some must be equal.
Mult instructions that write the same register should do something sane
|
|
Consolidate all code to handle ITSTATE in the PCState object rather than
touching a variety of structures/objects.
|
|
The ISAR registers describe which features the processor supports.
Transcribe the values listed in section B5.2.5 of the ARM ARM
into the registers as read-only values
|
|
The ARM performance counters are not currently supported by the model.
This patch interprets a 'reset performance counters' command to mean 'reset
the simulator statistics' instead.

until commit.
ARM instructions updating cumulative flags (ARM FP exceptions and saturation
flags) are not serialized.
Added aliases for ARM FP exceptions and saturation flags in FPSCR. Removed
write accesses to the FP condition codes for most ARM VFP instructions: only
VCMP and VCMPE instructions update the FP condition codes. Removed a potential
cause of seg. faults in the O3 model for NEON memory macro-ops (ARM).
