2019-10-16arch,base,sim: Move Process loader hooks into the Process class.Gabe Black
This code was originally in the ObjectFile class, but not all object files will become Processes. All Processes will ultimately come from ObjectFiles though, so it makes more sense to put that class there.

2019-10-12arch,base: Separate the idea of a memory image and object file.Gabe Black
A memory image can be described by an object file, but an object file is more than a memory image. Also, it makes sense to manipulate a memory image to, for instance, change how it's loaded into memory. That takes on larger implications (relocations, the entry point, symbols, etc.) when talking about the whole object file, and also modifies aspects which may not need to change. For instance if an image needs to be loaded into memory at addresses different from what's in the object file, but other things like symbols need to stay unmodified.

2019-10-10arch,base: Stop loading the interpreter in ElfObject.Gabe Black
The interpreter is a separate object file, and while it's convenient to hide loading it in the code which loads the main object file, it breaks the conceptual abstraction since you only asked it to load the main object file. Also, this makes every object file format reimplement the idea of loading the interpreter. Admittedly only ELF recognizes and sets up an interpreter, but other formats conceptually could too. This does move that limitted hypothetical redundancy out of the object file formats and moves it into the process objects, but I think conceptually that's where it belongs. It would also probably be pretty easy to add a method to the base Process class that would handle loading an image and also the interpreter image. This change does not (yet) separate reading symbol tables.

2019-10-10arch, base: Stop assuming object files have three segments.Gabe Black
The ObjectFile class has hardcoded assumptions that there are three segments, text, bss and data. There are some files which have one "segment" like raw files, where the entire file's contents are considered a single segment. There are also ELF files which can have an arbitrary number of segments, and those segments can hold any number of sections, including the text, data and/or bss sections. Removing this assumption frees up some object file formats from having to twist themselves to fit in that structure, possibly introducing ambiguities when some segments may fulfill multiple roles.

2019-10-09base: Rename Section to Segment, and some of its members.Gabe Black
ELF is, in my opinion, the most important object file format gem5 currently understands, and in ELF terminolgy the blob of data that needs to be loaded into memory to a particular location is called a segment. A section is a software level view of what's in a region of memory, and a single segment may contain multiple sections which happen to follow each other in memory.

2019-05-29sim-se: add a release parameter to Process.pyCiro Santilli
Set the default release to that single value for all ISAs. glibc has checks for the kernel version based on uname, and refuses to start any syscall emulation programs if those checks don't pass with error: FATAL: kernel too old The ideal solution to this problem is to actually implement all missing system calls for the required kernel version and bumping the release accordingly. However, it is very hard to implement all missing syscalls and verify compliance. Previously, we have simply bumped the version manually from time to time when major glibc versions started breaking. This commit alleviates the problem in two ways. Firstly, having a single kernel version for all versions means that it is easier to bump all versions at once. Secondly, it makes it is possible to set the release with a parameter, which in turn can be set from the command line with: se.py --param 'system.cpu[:].workload[:].release = "4.18.0"' Change-Id: I9e3c31073bfe68735f7b0775c8e299aa62b98222 Reviewed-on: https://gem5-review.googlesource.com/c/public/gem5/+/17849 Maintainer: Brandon Potter <Brandon.Potter@amd.com> Reviewed-by: Jason Lowe-Power <jason@lowepower.com> Tested-by: kokoro <noreply+kokoro@google.com>

2019-05-21sim-se: change syscall function signatureBrandon Potter
The system calls had four parameters. One of the parameters is ThreadContext and another is Process. The ThreadContext holds the value of the current process so the Process parameter is redundant since the system call functions already have indirect access. With the old API, it is possible to call into the functions with the wrong supplied Process which could end up being a confusing error. This patch removes the redundancy by forcing access through the ThreadContext field within each system call.

2019-04-29mips: Implement readRegOtherThread and setRegOtherThread directly.Gabe Black
These accessors can be implemented as helper functions within MIPS without having to plumb them through a bunch of common interfaces. There are a few problems with the way they were implemented which are carried forward to this new implementation as well. That includes hiding the register accesses from the ISA parser and therefore the CPU's dependency tracking, potentially panicing or accessing a non existent thread based on a possible set of input values, and modifying register values even if an instruction is being executed speculatively. Fixing these problems would be fairly involved and require changing how dependencies are tracked in all the CPUs so that they can act across threads, and also how registers are handled in the ISA description itself. The original implementation just punted on making this work in CPUs other than the minor CPU (and potentially one or more CPU models that were not and/or are not in the code base). Where as that implementation might have paniced if these methods were called, this will attempt to work, but may have incorrect behavior based on the limitations described above. I'd consider this an acceptable tradeoff, at least for the time being.

2019-04-28arch, sim: Simplify the AuxVector type.Gabe Black
The AuxVector type has a bunch of accessors which just give access to the underlying variables through references. We might as well just make those members accessible directly. Also, the AuxVector doesn't need to handle endianness flips itself. We can tell the byteswap mechanism how to flip an AuxVector, and let it handle that for us. This gets rid of the entire .cc file which was complicated by trying to both hide the ISA specific endianness translations, and instantiate templated functions in a .cc.

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.

2018-03-26arch: Add a virtual asBytes function to the StaticInst class.Gabe Black
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.

2018-01-20arch, mem: Make the page table lookup function return a pointer.Gabe Black
This avoids having a copy in the lookup function itself, and the declaration of a lot of temporary TLB entry pointers in callers. The gpu TLB seems to have had the most dependence on the original signature of the lookup function, partially because it was relying on a somewhat unsafe copy to a TLB entry using a base class pointer type.

2018-01-19arch, mem, sim: Consolidate and rename the SE mode page table classes.Gabe Black
Now that Nothing inherits from PageTableBase directly, it can be merged into FuncPageTable. This change also takes the opportunity to rename the combined class to EmulationPageTable which lets you know that it's specifically for SE mode. Also remove the page table entry cache since it doesn't seem to actually improve performance. The TLBs likely absorb the majority of the locality, essentially acting like a cache like they would in real hardware.

2018-01-10alpha,arm,mips,power,riscv,sparc,x86,cpu: Get rid of ISA_HAS_DELAY_SLOT.Gabe Black
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.

2017-12-22arch,cpu: "virtualize" the TLB interface.Gabe Black
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.
