2017-10-13mem: Signal the local monitor when clearing the global monitorNikos Nikoleris
ARM systems require the coordination of the global and local monitors. When the system is run without caches the global monitor is implemented in the abstract memory object. This change adds a callback from the abstract memory that notifies the local monitor when the global monitor is cleared. Additionally, for ARM systems the local monitor signals the event register and wakes the thread context up. Subsequent wait-for-event (WFE) instructions will be immediately signaled.

2015-08-10mem, cpu: Add assertions to snoop invalidation logicStephan Diestelhorst
This patch adds assertions that enforce that only invalidating snoops will ever reach into the logic that tracks in-order load completion and also invalidation of LL/SC (and MONITOR / MWAIT) monitors. Also adds some comments to MSHR::replaceUpgrades().
2015-09-30cpu,isa,mem: Add per-thread wakeup logicMitch Hayenga
Changes wakeup functionality so that only specific threads on SMT capable cpus are woken.
2014-01-24arm: Add support for ARMv8 (AArch64 & AArch32)ARM gem5 Developers
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.

2014-01-24cpu: Add CPU support for generatig wake up events when LLSC adresses are ↵Ali Saidi
snooped. This patch add support for generating wake-up events in the CPU when an address that is currently in the exclusive state is hit by a snoop. This mechanism is required for ARMv8 multi-processor support.
2013-01-07o3: Fix issue with LLSC ordering and speculationAli Saidi
This patch unlocks the cpu-local monitor when the CPU sees a snoop to a locked address. Previously we relied on the cache to handle the locking for us, however some users on the gem5 mailing list reported a case where the cpu speculatively executes a ll operation after a pending sc operation in the pipeline and that makes the cache monitor valid. This should handle that case by invaliding the local monitor.

2011-04-04ARM: Use CPU local lock before sending load to mem system.Ali Saidi
This change uses the locked_mem.hh header to handle implementing CLREX. It simplifies the current implementation greatly.
