The value that is not initialized has a bogus value that manifests when
using some debug-flags what makes the usage of tracediff a bit more
challenging.
In addition, while debugging with other techniques, it introduces the
problem of understanding if the value of a field is 'intended' or just
an effect of the lack of initialisation.

Some address translation instructions will stop translation after
the 1st stage and intercept the IPA, even in the presence of
stage 2 (eg AT S1E1). However, in the case of a TLB miss, the
table descriptors still need to be translated from IPA to PA to
avoid fetching the wrong addresses. This commit splits whether
IPA->PA translation is required for the VA and/or for the table
descriptors.

CPUs have historically instantiated the architecture specific version
of the TLBs to avoid a virtual function call, making them a little bit
more dependent on what the current ISA is. Some simple performance
measurement, the x86 twolf regression on the atomic CPU, shows that
there isn't actually any performance benefit, and if anything the
simulator goes slightly faster (although still within margin of error)
when the TLB functions are virtual.
This change switches everything outside of the architectures themselves
to use the generic BaseTLB type, and then inside the ISA for them to
cast that to their architecture specific type to call into architecture
specific interfaces.
The ARM TLB needed the most adjustment since it was using non-standard
translation function signatures. Specifically, they all took an extra
"type" parameter which defaulted to normal, and translateTiming
returned a Fault. translateTiming actually doesn't need to return a
Fault because everywhere that consumed it just stored it into a
structure which it then deleted(?), and the fault is stored in the
Translation object when the translation is done.
A little more work is needed to fully obviate the arch/tlb.hh header,
so the TheISA::TLB type is still visible outside of the ISAs.
Specifically, the TlbEntry type is used in the generic PageTable which
lives in src/mem.

Add support for a memory mapped m5op interface. When enabled, the TLB
intercepts accesses in the 64KiB region designated by the
ArmTLB.m5ops_base parameter. An access to this range maps to a
specific m5op call. The upper 8 bits of the offset into the range
denote the m5op function to call and the lower 8 bits denote the
subfunction.

CPU models (e.g., O3CPU) issue instruction fetches for the whole cache
block rather than a specific instruction. Consequently the TLB lookups
translate the cache block virtual address. When the TLB lookup fails,
however, the Prefetch Abort must be raised for the PC of the
instruction that caused the fault rather than for the address of the
block.
This change fixes the way we instantiate the PrefetchAbort faults to
use the PC of the request rather the address of the instruction fetch
request.

Objects that are can be serialized are supposed to inherit from the
Serializable class. This class is meant to provide a unified API for
such objects. However, so far it has mainly been used by SimObjects
due to some fundamental design limitations. This changeset redesigns
to the serialization interface to make it more generic and hide the
underlying checkpoint storage. Specifically:
* Add a set of APIs to serialize into a subsection of the current
object. Previously, objects that needed this functionality would
use ad-hoc solutions using nameOut() and section name
generation. In the new world, an object that implements the
interface has the methods serializeSection() and
unserializeSection() that serialize into a named /subsection/ of
the current object. Calling serialize() serializes an object into
the current section.
* Move the name() method from Serializable to SimObject as it is no
longer needed for serialization. The fully qualified section name
is generated by the main serialization code on the fly as objects
serialize sub-objects.
* Add a scoped ScopedCheckpointSection helper class. Some objects
need to serialize data structures, that are not deriving from
Serializable, into subsections. Previously, this was done using
nameOut() and manual section name generation. To simplify this,
this changeset introduces a ScopedCheckpointSection() helper
class. When this class is instantiated, it adds a new /subsection/
and subsequent serialization calls during the lifetime of this
helper class happen inside this section (or a subsection in case
of nested sections).
* The serialize() call is now const which prevents accidental state
manipulation during serialization. Objects that rely on modifying
state can use the serializeOld() call instead. The default
implementation simply calls serialize(). Note: The old-style calls
need to be explicitly called using the
serializeOld()/serializeSectionOld() style APIs. These are used by
default when serializing SimObjects.
* Both the input and output checkpoints now use their own named
types. This hides underlying checkpoint implementation from
objects that need checkpointing and makes it easier to change the
underlying checkpoint storage code.

We currently assume that all uncacheable memory accesses are strictly
ordered. Instead of always enforcing strict ordering, we now only
enforce it if the required memory type is device memory or strongly
ordered memory.
|
|
The Request::UNCACHEABLE flag currently has two different
functions. The first, and obvious, function is to prevent the memory
system from caching data in the request. The second function is to
prevent reordering and speculation in CPU models.
This changeset gives the order/speculation requirement a separate flag
(Request::STRICT_ORDER). This flag prevents CPU models from doing the
following optimizations:
* Speculation: CPU models are not allowed to issue speculative
loads.
* Write combining: CPU models and caches are not allowed to merge
writes to the same cache line.
Note: The memory system may still reorder accesses unless the
UNCACHEABLE flag is set. It is therefore expected that the
STRICT_ORDER flag is combined with the UNCACHEABLE flag to prevent
this behavior.
|
|
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.

This patch changes how the MMU and table walkers are created such that
a single port is used to connect the MMU and the TLBs to the memory
system. Previously two ports were needed as there are two table walker
objects (stage one and stage two), and they both had a port. Now the
port itself is moved to the Stage2MMU, and each TableWalker is simply
using the port from the parent.
By using the same port we also remove the need for having an
additional crossbar joining the two ports before the walker cache or
the L2. This simplifies the creation of the CPU cache topology in
BaseCPU.py considerably. Moreover, for naming and symmetry reasons,
the TLB walker port is connected through the stage-one table walker
thus making the naming identical to x86. Along the same line, we use
the stage-one table walker to generate the master id that is used by
all TLB-related requests.

We currently don't handle unaligned PCs correctly. There is one check
for unaligned PCs in the TLB when running in aarch64 mode, but this
check does not cover cases where the CPU does not do a TLB lookup when
decoding an instruction (e.g., a branch stays within the same cache
line). Additionally, the Decoder class sometimes throws an assertion
for unaligned PCs which breaks speculation.
This changeset introduces a decoder fault bit field in the ExtMachInst
structure. This field can be used to signal a decoder failure. If set,
the decoder generates an internal gem5fault instruction instead of a
normal instruction. This instruction in turns either panics (fault
type PANIC), returns an PCAlignmentFault (fault type UNALIGNED,
aarch64) or PrefetchAbort (fault type UNALIGNED, aarch32).
The patch causes minor changes to the realview64 regressions, and a
stats bump will follow.

This patch fixes the runtime errors highlighted by the undefined
behaviour sanitizer. In the end there were two issues. First, when
rotating an immediate, we ended up shifting an uint32_t by 32 in some
cases. This case is fixed by checking for a rotation by 0
positions. Second, the Mrc15 and Mcr15 are operating on an IntReg and
a MiscReg, but we used the type RegRegImmOp and passed a MiscRegIndex
as an IntRegIndex. This issue is resolved by introducing a
MiscRegRegImmOp and RegMiscRegImmOp with the appropriate types.
With these fixes there are no runtime errors identified for the full
ARM regressions.

The ARM TLBs have a bootUncacheability flag used to make some loads
and stores become uncacheable when booting in FS mode. Later the
flag is cleared to let those loads and stores operate as normal. When
doing a takeOverFrom(), this flag's state is not preserved and is
momentarily reset until the CPSR is touched. On single core runs this
is a non-issue. On multi-core runs this can lead to crashes on the O3
CPU model from the following series of events:
1) takeOverFrom executed to switch from Atomic -> O3
2) All bootUncacheability flags are reset to true
3) Core2 tries to execute a load covered by bootUncacheability, it
is flagged as uncacheable
4) Core2's load needs to replay due to a pipeline flush
3) Core1 core does an action on CPSR
4) The handling code for CPSR then checks all other cores
to determine if bootUncacheability can be set to false
5) Asynchronously set bootUncacheability on all cores to false
6) Core2 replays load previously set as uncacheable and notices
it is now flagged as cacheable, leads to a panic.
This patch implements takeOverFrom() functionality for the ARM TLBs
to preserve flag values when switching from atomic -> detailed.

This patch adds an additional level of ports in the inheritance
hierarchy, separating out the protocol-specific and protocl-agnostic
parts. All the functionality related to the binding of ports is now
confined to use BaseMaster/BaseSlavePorts, and all the
protocol-specific parts stay in the Master/SlavePort. In the future it
will be possible to add other protocol-specific implementations.
The functions used in the binding of ports, i.e. getMaster/SlavePort
now use the base classes, and the index parameter is updated to use
the PortID typedef with the symbolic InvalidPortID as the default.

This patch introduces the notion of a master and slave port in the C++
code, thus bringing the previous classification from the Python
classes into the corresponding simulation objects and memory objects.
The patch enables us to classify behaviours into the two bins and add
assumptions and enfore compliance, also simplifying the two
interfaces. As a starting point, isSnooping is confined to a master
port, and getAddrRanges to slave ports. More of these specilisations
are to come in later patches.
The getPort function is not getMasterPort and getSlavePort, and
returns a port reference rather than a pointer as NULL would never be
a valid return value. The default implementation of these two
functions is placed in MemObject, and calls fatal.
The one drawback with this specific patch is that it requires some
code duplication, e.g. QueuedPort becomes QueuedMasterPort and
QueuedSlavePort, and BusPort becomes BusMasterPort and BusSlavePort
(avoiding multiple inheritance). With the later introduction of the
port interfaces, moving the functionality outside the port itself, a
lot of the duplicated code will disappear again.
