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.

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.

We curently use INTREG_X31 instead of INTREG_SPX when accessing the
stack pointer in GDB. gem5 normally uses INTREG_SPX to access the
stack pointer, which gets mapped to the stack pointer corresponding
(INTREG_SPn) to the current exception level. This changeset updates
the GDB interface to use SPX instead of X31 (which is always zero)
when transfering CPU state to gdb.
|
|
The remote GDB interface currently doesn't check if translations are
valid before reading memory. This causes a panic when GDB tries to
access unmapped memory (e.g., when getting a stack trace). There are
two reasons for this: 1) The function used to check for valid
translations (virtvalid()) doesn't work and panics on invalid
translations. 2) The method in the GDB interface used to test if a
translation is valid (RemoteGDB::acc) always returns true regardless
of the return from virtvalid().
This changeset fixes both of these issues.

This changeset moves the pseudo instructions used to signal unknown
instructions and unimplemented instructions to the same source files
as the decoder fault.

The TLB-related code is generally architecture dependent and should
live in the arch directory to signify that.

While the IsFirstMicroop flag exists it was only occasionally used in the ARM
instructions that gem5 microOps and therefore couldn't be relied on to be correct.

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.

added ARM aarch64 unlinkat syscall support, modeled on other <xxx>at syscalls.
This gets all of the cpu2006 int workloads passing in SE mode on aarch64.

This patch adds table walker stats for:
- Walk events
- Instruction vs Data
- Page size histogram
- Wait time and service time histograms
- Pending requests histogram (per cycle) - measures dist. of L
(p(1..) = how often busy, p(0) = how often idle)
- Squashes, before starting and after completion

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 changeset adds more documentation to the ArmISA::Decoder class
and restructures it slightly to make API groups more obvious.
|
|
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.
|
|
The aarch64 system register decoder is currently not decoding
PMXEVTYPER_EL0 and PMCCFILTR_EL0 correctly. This changeset updates the
decoder so that they are decoded using the values in table C5-6 in ARM
DDI 0478A.c.
|

The new single stepping implementation for x86 doesn't rely on any ISA
specific properties or functionality. This change pulls out the per ISA
implementation of those functions and promotes the X86 implementation to the
base class.
One drawback of that implementation is that the CPU might stop on an
instruction twice if it's affected by both breakpoints and single stepping.
While that might be a little surprising, it's harmless and would only happen
under somewhat unlikely circumstances.

Not all ISAs have 64 bit sized registers, so it's not always very convenient
to access the GDB register cache in 64 bit sized chunks. This change makes it
accessible in 8, 16, 32, or 64 bit chunks. The MIPS and ARM implementations
were working around that limitation by bundling and unbundling 32 bit values
into 64 bit values. That code has been removed.

This patch fixes a case where the Minor CPU can deadlock due to the lack
of a response to TLB request because of a bug in fault handling in the ARM
table walker.
TableWalker::processWalkWrapper is the scheduler-called wrapper which
handles deferred walks which calls to TableWalker::wait cannot immediately
process. The handling of faults generated by processWalk{AArch64,LPAE,}
calls in those two functions is is different. processWalkWrapper ignores
fault returns from processWalk... which can lead to ::finish not being
called on a translation.
This fix provides fault handling in processWalkWrapper similar to that
found in the leaf functions which BaseTLB::Translation::finish.

This patch adds uncacheable/cacheable and read-only/read-write attributes to
the map method of PageTableBase. It also modifies the constructor of TlbEntry
structs for all architectures to consider the new attributes.
|
|
This patch adds methods in KvmCPU model to handle KVM exits caused by syscall
instructions and page faults. These types of exits will be encountered if
KvmCPU is run in SE mode.

Another churn to clean up undefined behaviour, mostly ARM, but some
parts also touching the generic part of the code base.
Most of the fixes are simply ensuring that proper intialisation. One
of the more subtle changes is the return type of the sign-extension,
which is changed to uint64_t. This is to avoid shifting negative
values (undefined behaviour) in the ISA code.

regressions.
This changes the default ARM system to a Versatile Express-like system that supports
2GB of memory and PCI devices and updates the default kernels/file-systems for
AArch64 ARM systems (64-bit) to support up to 32GB of memory and PCI devices. Some
platforms that are no longer supported have been pruned from the configuration files.
In addition a set of 64-bit ARM regressions have been added to the regression system.

Automatically extract cpu release address from DTB file.
Check SCTLR_EL1 to verify all caches are enabled.
|
|
The checker can't verify timer registers, so it should just grab the version
from the executing CPU, otherwise it could get a larger value and diverge
execution.
|

The identifier SYS_getdents is not available on Mac OS X. Therefore, its use
results in compilation failure. It seems there is no straight forward way to
implement the system call getdents using readdir() or similar C functions.
Hence the commit 6709bbcf564d is being rolled back.

This patch takes quite a large step in transitioning from the ad-hoc
RefCountingPtr to the c++11 shared_ptr by adopting its use for all
Faults. There are no changes in behaviour, and the code modifications
are mostly just replacing "new" with "make_shared".

This changeset adds probe points that can be used to implement PMU
counters for TLB stats. The following probes are supported:
* ArmISA::TLB::ppRefills / TLB Refills (TLB insertions)

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.

Speculative exeuction can cause panics in detailed execution mode that
shouldn't happen.

Some additional type checking to avoid future issues.

Some incorrect casting to IntRegIndex, and a few uninitialized members
in the i8254xGBe device.

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.

This patch optimises the passing of StaticInstPtr by avoiding copying
the reference-counting pointer. This avoids first incrementing and
then decrementing the reference-counting pointer.

activate(), suspend(), and halt() used on thread contexts had an optional
delay parameter. However this parameter was often ignored. Also, when used,
the delay was seemily arbitrarily set to 0 or 1 cycle (no other delays were
ever specified). This patch removes the delay parameter and 'Events'
associated with them across all ISAs and cores. Unused activate logic
is also removed.
|
|
This patch changes how faults are passed between methods in an attempt
to copy as few reference-counting pointer instances as possible. This
should avoid unecessary copies being created, contributing to the
increment/decrement of the reference counters.
|
|
This patch closes a number of space gaps in debug messages caused by
the incorrect use of line continuation within strings. (There's also
one consistency change to a similar, but correct, use of line
continuation)

Multiple instructions assume only 32-bit load operations are available,
this patch increases load sizes to 64-bit or 128-bit for many load pair and
load multiple instructions.

Neon memory ops that operate on multiple registers currently have very poor
performance because of interleave/deinterleave micro-ops.
This patch marks the deinterleave/interleave micro-ops as "No_OpClass" such
that they take minumum cycles to execute and are never resource constrained.
Additionaly the micro-ops over-read registers. Although one form may need
to read up to 20 sources, not all do. This adds in new forms so false
dependencies are not modeled. Instructions read their minimum number of
sources.
|

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.
|

This patch substituted the zero register for X31 used as a
destination register. This prevents false dependencies based on
X31.

v7 cbz/cbnz instructions were improperly marked as indirect branches.

We currently generate and compile one version of the ISA code per CPU
model. This is obviously wasting a lot of resources at compile
time. This changeset factors out the interface into a separate
ExecContext class, which also serves as documentation for the
interface between CPUs and the ISA code. While doing so, this
changeset also fixes up interface inconsistencies between the
different CPU models.
The main argument for using one set of ISA code per CPU model has
always been performance as this avoid indirect branches in the
generated code. However, this argument does not hold water. Booting
Linux on a simulated ARM system running in atomic mode
(opt/10.linux-boot/realview-simple-atomic) is actually 2% faster
(compiled using clang 3.4) after applying this patch. Additionally,
compilation time is decreased by 35%.

This patch prunes unused values, and also unifies how the values are
defined (not using an enum for ALPHA), aligning the use of int vs Addr
etc.
The patch also removes the duplication of PageBytes/PageShift and
VMPageSize/LogVMPageSize. For all ISAs the two pairs had identical
values and the latter has been removed.
|
|
When passed from a configuration script with a hexadecimal value (like
"0x80000000"), gem5 would error out. This is because it would call
"toMemorySize" which requires the argument to end with a size specifier (like
1MB, etc).
This modification makes it so raw hex values can be passed through Addr
parameters from the configuration scripts.
