These values are all basic integers (specifically uint64_t now), and
so passing them by const & is actually less efficient since there's a
extra level of indirection and an extra value, and the same sized value
(a 64 bit pointer vs. a 64 bit int) is being passed around.

Neither assert(0) nor assert(false) give any hint as to why control
getting to them is bad, and their more descriptive versions,
assert(0 && "description") and assert(false && "description"), jury
rig assert to add an error message when the utility function panic()
already does that directly with better formatting options.
This change replaces that flavor of call to assert with panic, except
in the actual code which processes the formatting that panic uses (to
avoid infinitely recurring error handling), and in some *.sm files
since I don't know what rules those have to follow and don't want to
accidentaly break them.

For operands which default to uw (uint32_t), there's no reason to
explicitly specify that all over the place. Also, when assigning to a
32 bit value which is supposed to be the full width of the resulting
register, there's no reason to override the value to be signed. If the
value is expanded into a larger value, then extra bits may get set
unintentionally through sign extension. Even if an instruction
produces a value which should be interpreted as signed, it will still
only produce a value of a certain predefined width, even if that answer
ends up stored in a larger variable.

The AuxVector class is responsible for holding Process data.
The data that it holds is normally setup by an OS kernel in
the process address space. The purpose behind doing this is
to pass in information that the process will need for various
reasons. (Check out the enum in the header file for an idea of
what the AuxVector holds.)
The AuxVector struct was changed into a class and encapsulation
methods were added to protect access to the member variables.
The host ISA may have a different endianness than the simulated
ISA. Since data is passed between the process address space and
the simulator for auxiliary vectors, we need to worry about
maintaining endianness for the right context.

This function takes a pointer to a buffer and the current size of the
buffer as a pass by reference argument. If the size of the buffer is
sufficient, the function stores a binary representation of itself
(generally the ISA defined instruction encoding) in the buffer, and
sets the size argument to how much space it used. This could be used
by ISAs which have two instruction sizes (ARM and thumb, for example).
If the buffer size isn't sufficient, then the size parameter should be
set to what size is required, and then the function should return
without modifying the buffer.
The buffer itself should be aligned to the same standard as memory
returned by new, specifically "The pointer returned shall be suitably
aligned so that it can be converted to a pointer of any complete object
type and then used to access the object or array in the storage
allocated...". This will avoid having to memcpy buffers to avoid
unaligned accesses.
To standardize the representation of the data, it should be stored in
the buffer as little endian. Since most hosts (including ARM and x86
hosts) will be little endian, this will almost always be a no-op.

This constant is, first, a #define, and second only used in one place.
In that one place, it appears that the code it guards is no longer
necessary in general. It was originally written to avoid refetching a
block of data that you're still in, even if you've moved slightly
farther in it because you're skipping the next instruction due to an
annulled branch delay slot. In reality however, in SPARC, the one ISA
I'm aware of which has this sort of branching behavior, the PC state
object will correctly determine that no branch is happening in these
cases. Code lower down in the loop will then recompute where fetching
should continue based on the next PC, automatically skipping the
annulled branch slot without misinterpretting the gap as a branch.
This change therefore also removes this block of code.

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.

The ISA parser used to generate different copies of exec functions
for each exec context class a particular CPU wanted to use. That's
since been changed so that those functions take a pointer to the base
ExecContext, so the code which would generate those extra functions
can be removed, and some functions which used to be templated on an
ExecContext subclass can be untemplated, or minimally less templated.
Now that some functions aren't going to be instantiated multiple times
with different signatures, there are also opportunities to collapse
templates and make many instruction definitions simpler within the
parser. Since those changes will be less mechanical, they're left for
later changes and will probably be done in smaller increments.

This patch adds some more functionality to the cpu model and the arch to

This change consists mainly of augmenting ThreadContexts and ExecContexts
with calls to get/set full vectors, underlying microarchitectural elements
or lanes. Those are meant to interface with the vector register file. All
classes that implement this interface also get an appropriate implementation.
This requires implementing the vector register file for the different
models using the VecRegContainer class.
This change set also updates the Result abstraction to contemplate the
possibility of having a vector as result.
The changes also affect how the remote_gdb connection works.
There are some (nasty) side effects, such as the need to define dummy
numPhysVecRegs parameter values for architectures that do not implement
vector extensions.

simulations
Modifies the clone system call and adds execve system call. Requires allowing
processes to steal thread contexts from other processes in the same system
object and the ability to detach pieces of process state (such as MemState)
to allow dynamic sharing.
|
|
This changeset adds functionality that allows system calls to retry without
affecting thread context state such as the program counter or register values
for the associated thread context (when system calls return with a retry
fault).
This functionality is needed to solve problems with blocking system calls
in multi-process or multi-threaded simulations where information is passed
between processes/threads. Blocking system calls can cause deadlock because
the simulator itself is single threaded. There is only a single thread
servicing the event queue which can cause deadlock if the thread hits a
blocking system call instruction.
To illustrate the problem, consider two processes using the producer/consumer
sharing model. The processes can use file descriptors and the read and write
calls to pass information to one another. If the consumer calls the blocking
read system call before the producer has produced anything, the call will
block the event queue (while executing the system call instruction) and
deadlock the simulation.
The solution implemented in this changeset is to recognize that the system
calls will block and then generate a special retry fault. The fault will
be sent back up through the function call chain until it is exposed to the
cpu model's pipeline where the fault becomes visible. The fault will trigger
the cpu model to replay the instruction at a future tick where the call has
a chance to succeed without actually going into a blocking state.
In subsequent patches, we recognize that a syscall will block by calling a
non-blocking poll (from inside the system call implementation) and checking
for events. When events show up during the poll, it signifies that the call
would not have blocked and the syscall is allowed to proceed (calling an
underlying host system call if necessary). If no events are returned from the
poll, we generate the fault and try the instruction for the thread context
at a distant tick. Note that retrying every tick is not efficient.
As an aside, the simulator has some multi-threading support for the event
queue, but it is not used by default and needs work. Even if the event queue
was completely multi-threaded, meaning that there is a hardware thread on
the host servicing a single simulator thread contexts with a 1:1 mapping
between them, it's still possible to run into deadlock due to the event queue
barriers on quantum boundaries. The solution of replaying at a later tick
is the simplest solution and solves the problem generally.

Moves aux_vector into its own .hh and .cc files just to get it out of the
already crowded Process files. Arguably, it could stay there, but it's
probably better just to move it and give it files.
The changeset looks ugly around the Process header file, but the goal here is
to move methods and members around so that they're not defined randomly
throughout the entire header file. I expect this is likely one of the reasons
why I several unused variables related to this class. So, the methods are
declared first followed by members. I've tried to aggregate them together
so that similar entries reside near one another.
There are other changes coming to this code so this is by no means the
final product.

The EIOProcess class was removed recently and it was the only other class
which derived from Process. Since every Process invocation is also a
LiveProcess invocation, it makes sense to simplify the organization by
combining the fields from LiveProcess into Process.

Used cppclean to help identify useless includes and removed them. This
involved erroneously included headers, but also cases where forward
declarations could have been used rather than a full include.

The class was crammed into syscall_emul.hh which has tons of forward
declarations and template definitions. To clean it up a bit, moved the
class into separate files and commented the class with doxygen style
comments. Also, provided some encapsulation by adding some accessors and
a mutator.
The syscallreturn.hh file was renamed syscall_return.hh to make it consistent
with other similarly named files in the src/sim directory.
The DPRINTF_SYSCALL macro was moved into its own header file with the
include the Base and Verbose flags as well.
--HG--
rename : src/sim/syscallreturn.hh => src/sim/syscall_return.hh

Make it so that getInterrupt *always* returns an interrupt if
checkInterrupts() returns true. This fixes/simplifies handling
of interrupts on the SMT FS CPUs (currently minor).

Fixing an issue with regStats not calling the parent class method
for most SimObjects in Gem5. This causes issues if one adds new
stats in the base class (since they are never initialized properly!).

In general, the ThreadID parameter is unnecessary in the memory system
as the ContextID is what is used for the purposes of locks/wakeups.
Since we allocate sequential ContextIDs for each thread on MT-enabled
CPUs, ThreadID is unnecessary as the CPUs can identify the requesting
thread through sideband info (SenderState / LSQ entries) or ContextID
offset from the base ContextID for a cpu.
This is a re-spin of 20264eb after the revert (bd1c6789) and includes
some fixes of that commit.
