2019-11-18arch: Make and use endian specific versions of the mem helpers.Gabe Black
Rather than using TheISA to pick an endian conversion function, we can have a version defined for big and little endian and call the right one from the ISA code.

2019-09-23cpu, mem: Changing AtomicOpFunctor* for unique_ptr<AtomicOpFunctor>Jordi Vaquero
This change is based on modify the way we move the AtomicOpFunctor* through gem5 in order to mantain proper ownership of the object and ensuring its destruction when it is no longer used. Doing that we fix at the same time a memory leak in Request.hh where we were assigning a new AtomicOpFunctor* without destroying the previous one. This change creates a new type AtomicOpFunctor_ptr as a std::unique_ptr<AtomicOpFunctor> and move its ownership as needed. Except for its only usage when AtomicOpFunc() is called.

2018-10-12arch: Explicitly specify the endianness in the generic mem helpers.Gabe Black
This avoids using the accessors which automatically assume an endianness, requiring the memory system to know what the guest ISA is.

This patch adds two new functions named amoMemAtomic used in Atomic CPU model and initiateMemAMO used in Timing CPU models to issue AMO requests to the memory system.

2017-02-27arch: Include generated decoder header after normal headersAndreas Sandberg
The generated decoder header defines macros that represent bit fields within instructions. These fields typically have short names that conflict with names in other header files. Include the generated header after all normal header to avoid this issue.

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: don't call *Timing functions from *Atomic versionsSteve Reinhardt
The readMemAtomic/writeMemAtomic helper functions were calling readMemTiming/writeMemTiming respectively. This is functionally correct, since the *Timing functions are doing the same access initiation operation as the *Atomic functions (just that the *Atomic versions also complete the access in line). It also provides for some (very minimal) code reuse. Unfortunately, it's potentially pretty confusing, since it makes it look like the atomic accesses are somehow being converted to timing accesses. It also gets in the way of specializing the timing interface (as will be done in a future patch).
2014-10-16arch: Use shared_ptr for all FaultsAndreas Hansson
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".
2014-01-24mem: Remove explict cast from memhelper.Ali Saidi
Previously we were casting the result type to the the memory type which is incorrect for things like dual-memory operations which still return a single result.
2012-01-31clang: Enable compiling gem5 using clang 2.9 and 3.0Koan-Sin Tan
This patch adds the necessary flags to the SConstruct and SConscript files for compiling using clang 2.9 and later (on Ubuntu et al and OSX XCode 4.2), and also cleans up a bunch of compiler warnings found by clang. Most of the warnings are related to hidden virtual functions, comparisons with unsigneds >= 0, and if-statements with empty bodies. A number of mismatches between struct and class are also fixed. clang 2.8 is not working as it has problems with class names that occur in multiple namespaces (e.g. Statistics in kernel_stats.hh). clang has a bug (http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=7247) which causes confusion between the container std::set and the function Packet::set, and this is currently addressed by not including the entire namespace std, but rather selecting e.g. "using std::vector" in the appropriate places.
2011-07-02ExecContext: Rename the readBytes/writeBytes functions to readMem and writeMem.Gabe Black
readBytes and writeBytes had the word "bytes" in their names because they accessed blobs of bytes. This distinguished them from the read and write functions which handled higher level data types. Because those functions don't exist any more, this change renames readBytes and writeBytes to more general names, readMem and writeMem, which reflect the fact that they are how you read and write memory. This also makes their names more consistent with the register reading/writing functions, although those are still read and set for some reason.
