2016-04-01syscall_emul: remove mmapFlagTableSteve Reinhardt
After all this it turns out we don't even use it.
2016-04-01syscall_emul: factor out flag tables into common fileSteve Reinhardt
The openFlagTable and mmapFlagTables for emulated Linux platforms are basically identical, but are specified repetitively for every platform. Use a common file that gets included for each platform so that we only have one copy, making them more consistent and simplifying changes (like adding #ifdefs). In the process, made some minor fixes that slipped through due to previous inconsistencies, and added more #ifdefs to try to fix building on alternative hosts.
2016-03-21arm: Refactor the TLB test interfaceAndreas Sandberg
Refactor the TLB and page table walker test interface to use a dynamic registration mechanism. Instead of patching a couple of empty methods to wire up a TLB tester, this change allows such testers to register themselves using the setTestInterface() method.
2016-03-17base: add symbol support for dynamic librariesBrandon Potter
Libraries are loaded into the process address space using the mmap system call. Conveniently, this happens to be a good time to update the process symbol table with the library's incoming symbols so we handle the table update from within the system call. This works just like an application's normal symbols. The only difference between a dynamic library and a main executable is when the symbol table update occurs. The symbol table update for an executable happens at program load time and is finished before the process ever begins executing. Since dynamic linking happens at runtime, the symbol loading happens after the library is first loaded into the process address space. The library binary is examined at this time for a symbol section and that section is parsed for symbol types with specific bindings (global, local, weak). Subsequently, these symbols are added to the table and are available for use by gem5 for things like trace generation. Checkpointing should work just as it did previously. The address space (and therefore the library) will be recorded and the symbol table will be entirely recorded. (It's not possible to do anything clever like checkpoint a program and then load the program back with different libraries with LD_LIBRARY_PATH, because the library becomes part of the address space after being loaded.)
2016-03-17base: support dynamic loading of Linux ELF objects in SE modeBrandon Potter
2016-03-17syscall_emul: move mmapGrowsDown() to LiveProcessSteve Reinhardt
The mmapGrowsDown() method was a static method on the OperatingSystem class (and derived classes), which worked OK for the templated syscall emulation methods, but made it hard to access elsewhere. This patch moves the method to be a virtual function on the LiveProcess method, where it can be overridden for specific platforms (for now, Alpha). This patch also changes the value of mmapGrowsDown() from being false by default and true only on X86Linux32 to being true by default and false only on Alpha, which seems closer to reality (though in reality most people use ASLR and this doesn't really matter anymore). In the process, also got rid of the unused mmap_start field on LiveProcess and OperatingSystem mmapGrowsUp variable.
2016-03-17syscall_emul: extend mmap system call to support file backed mmapsBrandon Potter
For O3, which has a stat that counts reg reads, there is an additional reg read per mmap() call since there's an arg we no longer ignore. Otherwise, stats should not be affected.
2016-03-17syscall_emul: add many Linux kernel flagsBrandon Potter
2016-03-17syscall_emul: rename OpenFlagTransTable structBrandon Potter
The structure definition only had the open system call flag set in mind when it was named, so we rename it here with the intention of using it to define additional tables to translate flags for other system calls in the future.
2016-03-16arm: Fix disasm printingNathanael Premillieu
Fix the printDataInst function to properly print the immediate value.
2015-11-27base: Add support for changing output directoriesAndreas Sandberg
This changeset adds support for changing the simulator output directory. This can be useful when the simulation goes through several stages (e.g., a warming phase, a simulation phase, and a verification phase) since it allows the output from each stage to be located in a different directory. Relocation is done by calling core.setOutputDir() from Python or simout.setOutputDirectory() from C++. This change affects several parts of the design of the gem5's output subsystem. First, files returned by an OutputDirectory instance (e.g., simout) are of the type OutputStream instead of a std::ostream. This allows us to do some more book keeping and control re-opening of files when the output directory is changed. Second, new subdirectories are OutputDirectory instances, which should be used to create files in that sub-directory.

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().
2016-02-29arm: Squash after returning from exceptions in v7Mitch Hayenga
Properly done for the ERET instruction in v8, but not for v7. Many control register changes are only visible after explicit instruction synchronization barriers or exception entry/exit. This means mode changing instructions should squash any younger in-flight speculative instructions.
2016-02-13syscall_emul: Implement clock_getres() system callMichael LeBeane
This patch implements the clock_getres() system call for arm and x86 in linux SE mode.

2016-01-17cpu. arch: add initiateMemRead() to ExecContext interfaceSteve Reinhardt
For historical reasons, the ExecContext interface had a single function, readMem(), that did two different things depending on whether the ExecContext supported atomic memory mode (i.e., AtomicSimpleCPU) or timing memory mode (all the other models). In the former case, it actually performed a memory read; in the latter case, it merely initiated a read access, and the read completion did not happen until later when a response packet arrived from the memory system. This led to some confusing things, including timing accesses being required to provide a pointer for the return data even though that pointer was only used in atomic mode. This patch splits this interface, adding a new initiateMemRead() function to the ExecContext interface to replace the timing-mode use of readMem(). For consistency and clarity, the readMemTiming() helper function in the ISA definitions is renamed to initiateMemRead() as well. For x86, where the access size is passed in explicitly, we can also get rid of the data parameter at this level. For other ISAs, where the access size is determined from the type of the data parameter, we have to keep the parameter for that purpose.
2016-01-17arch: get rid of unused LargestRead typedefSteve Reinhardt
2016-01-11scons: Enable -Wextra by defaultAndreas Hansson
Make best use of the compiler, and enable -Wextra as well as -Wall. There are a few issues that had to be resolved, but they are all trivial.
2016-01-07pseudo inst,util: Add optional key to initparam pseudo instructionGabor Dozsa
The key parameter can be used to read out various config parameters from within the simulated software.
2015-12-18arm: remote GDB: rationalize structure of register offsetsBoris Shingarov
Currently, the wire format of register values in g- and G-packets is modelled using a union of uint8/16/32/64 arrays. The offset positions of each register are expressed as a "register count" scaled according to the width of the register in question. This results in counter- intuitive and error-prone "register count arithmetic", and some formats would even be altogether unrepresentable in such model, e.g. a 64-bit register following a 32-bit one would have a fractional index in the regs64 array. Another difficulty is that the array is allocated before the actual architecture of the workload is known (and therefore before the correct size for the array can be calculated). With this patch I propose a simpler mechanism for expressing the register set structure. In the new code, GdbRegCache is an abstract class; its subclasses contain straightforward structs reflecting the register representation. The determination whether to use e.g. the AArch32 vs. AArch64 register set (or SPARCv8 vs SPARCv9, etc.) is made by polymorphically dispatching getregs() to the concrete subclass. The subclass is not instantiated until it is needed for actual g-/G-packet processing, when the mode is already known. This patch is not meant to be merged in on its own, because it changes the contract between src/base/remote_gdb.* and src/arch/*/remote_gdb.*, so as it stands right now, it would break the other architectures. In this patch only the base and the ARM code are provided for review; once we agree on the structure, I will provide src/arch/*/remote_gdb.* for the other architectures; those patches could then be merged in together.

2015-12-04arm, config: Automatically discover available platformsAndreas Sandberg
Add support for automatically discover available platforms. The Python-side uses functionality similar to what we use when auto-detecting available CPU models. The machine IDs have been updated to match the platform configurations. If there isn't a matching machine ID, the configuration scripts default to -1 which Linux uses for device tree only platforms.
2015-12-03arm: Add support for automatic boot loader selectionAndreas Sandberg
Add support for automatically selecting a boot loader that matches the guest system's kernel. Instead of accepting a single boot loader, the ArmSystem class now accepts a vector of boot loaders. When initializing a system, the we now look for the first boot loader with an architecture that matches the kernel. This changeset makes it possible to use the same system for both 64-bit and 32-bit kernels.

2015-10-29arm: Add secure flag to TableWalker request when neededNathanael Premillieu
2015-10-29kvm, arm: Fix compilation errors due to API changesVictor Garcia
The checkpoint changes, along with the SMT patches have changed a number of APIs. Adapt the ArmKvmCPU accordingly.
2015-10-12misc: Add explicit overrides and fix other clang >= 3.5 issuesAndreas Hansson
This patch adds explicit overrides as this is now required when using "-Wall" with clang >= 3.5, the latter now part of the most recent XCode. The patch consequently removes "virtual" for those methods where "override" is added. The latter should be enough of an indication. As part of this patch, a few minor issues that clang >= 3.5 complains about are also resolved (unused methods and variables).
2015-10-12misc: Remove redundant compiler-specific definesAndreas Hansson
This patch moves away from using M5_ATTR_OVERRIDE and the m5::hashmap (and similar) abstractions, as these are no longer needed with gcc 4.7 and clang 3.1 as minimum compiler versions.
2015-10-09isa: Add parameter to pick different decoder inside ISARekai Gonzalez Alberquilla
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.
2015-09-30arm: Change TLB Software CachingMitch Hayenga
In ARM, certain variables are only updated when a necessary change is detected. Having 2 SMT threads share a TLB resulted in these not being updated as required. This patch adds a thread context identifer to assist in the invalidation of these variables.
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.
2015-09-30isa,cpu: Add support for FS SMT InterruptsMitch Hayenga
Adds per-thread interrupt controllers and thread/context logic so that interrupts properly get routed in SMT systems.

Changes assignment of the MPIDR for multi-threaded systems only.
2015-08-21arm, mem: Remove unused CLEAR_LL request flagAndreas Hansson
Cleaning up dead code. The CLREX stores zero directly to MISCREG_LOCKFLAG and so the request flag is no longer needed. The corresponding functionality in the cache tags is also removed.
2015-08-21cpu: Move invldPid constant from Request to BaseCPUAndreas Hansson
A more natural home for this constant.

2015-07-26cpu: implements vector registersNilay Vaish
This adds a vector register type. The type is defined as a std::array of a fixed number of uint64_ts. The isa_parser.py has been modified to parse vector register operands and generate the required code. Different cpus have vector register files now.
2015-07-07sim: Refactor and simplify the drain APIAndreas Sandberg
The drain() call currently passes around a DrainManager pointer, which is now completely pointless since there is only ever one global DrainManager in the system. It also contains vestiges from the time when SimObjects had to keep track of their child objects that needed draining. This changeset moves all of the DrainState handling to the Drainable base class and changes the drain() and drainResume() calls to reflect this. Particularly, the drain() call has been updated to take no parameters (the DrainManager argument isn't needed) and return a DrainState instead of an unsigned integer (there is no point returning anything other than 0 or 1 any more). Drainable objects should return either DrainState::Draining (equivalent to returning 1 in the old system) if they need more time to drain or DrainState::Drained (equivalent to returning 0 in the old system) if they are already in a consistent state. Returning DrainState::Running is considered an error. Drain done signalling is now done through the signalDrainDone() method in the Drainable class instead of using the DrainManager directly. The new call checks if the state of the object is DrainState::Draining before notifying the drain manager. This means that it is safe to call signalDrainDone() without first checking if the simulator has requested draining. The intention here is to reduce the code needed to implement draining in simple objects.
2015-07-07sim: Decouple draining from the SimObject hierarchyAndreas Sandberg
Draining is currently done by traversing the SimObject graph and calling drain()/drainResume() on the SimObjects. This is not ideal when non-SimObjects (e.g., ports) need draining since this means that SimObjects owning those objects need to be aware of this. This changeset moves the responsibility for finding objects that need draining from SimObjects and the Python-side of the simulator to the DrainManager. The DrainManager now maintains a set of all objects that need draining. To reduce the overhead in classes owning non-SimObjects that need draining, objects inheriting from Drainable now automatically register with the DrainManager. If such an object is destroyed, it is automatically unregistered. This means that drain() and drainResume() should never be called directly on a Drainable object. While implementing the new functionality, the DrainManager has now been made thread safe. In practice, this means that it takes a lock whenever it manipulates the set of Drainable objects since SimObjects in different threads may create Drainable objects dynamically. Similarly, the drain counter is now an atomic_uint, which ensures that it is manipulated correctly when objects signal that they are done draining. A nice side effect of these changes is that it makes the drain state changes stricter, which the simulation scripts can exploit to avoid redundant drains.
2015-07-07sim: Make the drain state a global typed enumAndreas Sandberg
The drain state enum is currently a part of the Drainable interface. The same state machine will be used by the DrainManager to identify the global state of the simulator. Make the drain state a global typed enum to better cater for this usage scenario.
2015-07-07sim: Refactor the serialization base classAndreas Sandberg
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.
2015-06-21arm: Cleanup arch headers to remove dma_device.hh dependencyAndreas Sandberg
Break the dependency on dma_device.hh by forward-declaring DmaPort in the relevant header.
2015-06-09arm: Delete debug print in initialization of hardware threadRune Holm
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.
2015-06-09arm: Fix typo in ldrsh instruction nameRune Holm
ldrsh was typoed as hdrsh, which is a bit annoying when printing instructions. This patch fixes it.
2015-06-07arch: fix build under MacOSXRuslan Bukin ext:(%2C%20Zhang%20Guoye)
put O_DIRECT under ifdefs -- this fixes build for MacOSX. Also use correct class for arm64 openFlagTable. Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>
2015-06-01kvm, arm: Add support for aarch64Andreas Sandberg
This changeset adds support for aarch64 in kvm. The CPU module supports both checkpointing and online CPU model switching as long as no devices are simulated by the host kernel. It currently has the following limitations: * The system register based generic timer can only be simulated by the host kernel. Workaround: Use a memory mapped timer instead to simulate the timer in gem5. * Simulating devices (e.g., the generic timer) in the host kernel requires that the host kernel also simulates the GIC. * ID registers in the host and in gem5 must match for switching between simulated CPUs and KVM. This is particularly important for ID registers describing memory system capabilities (e.g., ASID size, physical address size). * Switching between a virtualized CPU and a simulated CPU is currently not supported if in-kernel device emulation is used. This could be worked around by adding support for switching to the gem5 (e.g., the KvmGic) side of the device models. A simpler workaround is to avoid in-kernel device models altogether.
2015-06-01kvm, arm, dev: Add an in-kernel GIC implementationAndreas Sandberg
This changeset adds a GIC implementation that uses the kernel's built-in support for simulating the interrupt controller. Since there is currently no support for state transfer between gem5 and the kernel, the device model does not support serialization and CPU switching (which would require switching to a gem5-simulated GIC).
2015-06-01kvm, arm: Move ARM-specific files to arch/arm/kvm/Andreas Sandberg
This changeset moves the ARM-specific KVM CPU implementation to arch/arm/kvm/. This change is expected to keep the source tree somewhat cleaner as we start adding support for ARMv8 and KVM in-kernel interrupt controller simulation. --HG-- rename : src/cpu/kvm/ArmKvmCPU.py => src/arch/arm/kvm/ArmKvmCPU.py rename : src/cpu/kvm/arm_cpu.cc => src/arch/arm/kvm/arm_cpu.cc rename : src/cpu/kvm/arm_cpu.hh => src/arch/arm/kvm/arm_cpu.hh

2015-05-26arm: Make address translation faster with better cachingNathanael Premillieu
This patch adds better caching of the sys regs for AArch64, thus avoiding unnecessary calls to tc->readMiscReg(MISCREG_CPSR) in the non-faulting case.
