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.
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.

2015-10-12misc: 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.

2015-07-26cpu: 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 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.
2015-05-05mem, cpu: Add a separate flag for strictly ordered memoryAndreas Sandberg
The Request::UNCACHEABLE flag currently has two different functions. The first, and obvious, function is to prevent the memory system from caching data in the request. The second function is to prevent reordering and speculation in CPU models. This changeset gives the order/speculation requirement a separate flag (Request::STRICT_ORDER). This flag prevents CPU models from doing the following optimizations: * Speculation: CPU models are not allowed to issue speculative loads. * Write combining: CPU models and caches are not allowed to merge writes to the same cache line. Note: The memory system may still reorder accesses unless the UNCACHEABLE flag is set. It is therefore expected that the STRICT_ORDER flag is combined with the UNCACHEABLE flag to prevent this behavior.
2015-02-16arch: Make readMiscRegNoEffect const throughoutAndreas Hansson
Finally took the plunge and made this apply to all ISAs, not just ARM.
2015-02-11sim: Move the BaseTLB to src/arch/generic/Andreas Sandberg
The TLB-related code is generally architecture dependent and should live in the arch directory to signify that. --HG-- rename : src/sim/BaseTLB.py => src/arch/generic/BaseTLB.py rename : src/sim/tlb.cc => src/arch/generic/tlb.cc rename : src/sim/tlb.hh => src/arch/generic/tlb.hh
2014-12-05misc: Generalize GDB single stepping.Gabe Black
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.
2014-11-23mem: Page Table map api modificationAlexandru Dutu
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.
2014-11-23kvm, x86: Adding support for SE mode executionAlexandru Dutu
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.
2014-10-22sim: revert 6709bbcf564dNilay Vaish
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.
2014-10-20sim: implement getdents/getdents64 in user modeMichael Adler
Has been tested only for alpha. Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>
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".
2014-09-27arch: Use const StaticInstPtr references where possibleAndreas Hansson
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.
2014-09-20alpha,arm,mips,power,x86,cpu,sim: Cleanup activate/deactivateMitch Hayenga
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.
2014-09-03arch: Cleanup unused ISA traits constantsAndreas Hansson
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.
2014-08-28mem: adding architectural page table support for SE modeAlexandru
This patch enables the use of page tables that are stored in system memory and respect x86 specification, in SE mode. It defines an architectural page table for x86 as a MultiLevelPageTable class and puts a placeholder class for other ISAs page tables, giving the possibility for future implementation.
2014-08-13power: Remove unused private members to fix compile-time warningAndreas Sandberg
Certain versions of clang complain about unused private members if they are not used. This changeset removes such members from the POWER-specific ProcessInfo struct to silence the warning.
2014-05-31style: eliminate equality tests with true and falseSteve Reinhardt
Using '== true' in a boolean expression is totally redundant, and using '== false' is pretty verbose (and arguably less readable in most cases) compared to '!'. It's somewhat of a pet peeve, perhaps, but I had some time waiting for some tests to run and decided to clean these up. Unfortunately, SLICC appears not to have the '!' operator, so I had to leave the '== false' tests in the SLICC code.
2014-05-12syscall emulation: clean up & comment SyscallReturnSteve Reinhardt
2014-05-09arch: teach ISA parser how to split code across filesCurtis Dunham
This patch encompasses several interrelated and interdependent changes to the ISA generation step. The end goal is to reduce the size of the generated compilation units for instruction execution and decoding so that batch compilation can proceed with all CPUs active without exhausting physical memory. The ISA parser (src/arch/isa_parser.py) has been improved so that it can accept 'split [output_type];' directives at the top level of the grammar and 'split(output_type)' python calls within 'exec {{ ... }}' blocks. This has the effect of "splitting" the files into smaller compilation units. I use air-quotes around "splitting" because the files themselves are not split, but preprocessing directives are inserted to have the same effect. Architecturally, the ISA parser has had some changes in how it works. In general, it emits code sooner. It doesn't generate per-CPU files, and instead defers to the C preprocessor to create the duplicate copies for each CPU type. Likewise there are more files emitted and the C preprocessor does more substitution that used to be done by the ISA parser. Finally, the build system (SCons) needs to be able to cope with a dynamic list of source files coming out of the ISA parser. The changes to the SCons{cript,truct} files support this. In broad strokes, the targets requested on the command line are hidden from SCons until all the build dependencies are determined, otherwise it would try, realize it can't reach the goal, and terminate in failure. Since build steps (i.e. running the ISA parser) must be taken to determine the file list, several new build stages have been inserted at the very start of the build. First, the build dependencies from the ISA parser will be emitted to arch/$ISA/generated/inc.d, which is then read by a new SCons builder to finalize the dependencies. (Once inc.d exists, the ISA parser will not need to be run to complete this step.) Once the dependencies are known, the 'Environments' are made by the makeEnv() function. This function used to be called before the build began but now happens during the build. It is easy to see that this step is quite slow; this is a known issue and it's important to realize that it was already slow, but there was no obvious cause to attribute it to since nothing was displayed to the terminal. Since new steps that used to be performed serially are now in a potentially-parallel build phase, the pathname handling in the SCons scripts has been tightened up to deal with chdir() race conditions. In general, pathnames are computed earlier and more likely to be stored, passed around, and processed as absolute paths rather than relative paths. In the end, some of these issues had to be fixed by inserting serializing dependencies in the build. Minor note: For the null ISA, we just provide a dummy inc.d so SCons is never compelled to try to generate it. While it seems slightly wrong to have anything in src/arch/*/generated (i.e. a non-generated 'generated' file), it's by far the simplest solution.
2014-05-09arch, arm: Preserve TLB bootUncacheability when switching CPUsGeoffrey Blake
The ARM TLBs have a bootUncacheability flag used to make some loads and stores become uncacheable when booting in FS mode. Later the flag is cleared to let those loads and stores operate as normal. When doing a takeOverFrom(), this flag's state is not preserved and is momentarily reset until the CPSR is touched. On single core runs this is a non-issue. On multi-core runs this can lead to crashes on the O3 CPU model from the following series of events: 1) takeOverFrom executed to switch from Atomic -> O3 2) All bootUncacheability flags are reset to true 3) Core2 tries to execute a load covered by bootUncacheability, it is flagged as uncacheable 4) Core2's load needs to replay due to a pipeline flush 3) Core1 core does an action on CPSR 4) The handling code for CPSR then checks all other cores to determine if bootUncacheability can be set to false 5) Asynchronously set bootUncacheability on all cores to false 6) Core2 replays load previously set as uncacheable and notices it is now flagged as cacheable, leads to a panic. This patch implements takeOverFrom() functionality for the ARM TLBs to preserve flag values when switching from atomic -> detailed.
2014-05-09arch: remove inline specifiers on all inst constrs, all ISAsCurtis Dunham
With (upcoming) separate compilation, they are useless. Only link-time optimization could re-inline them, but ideally feedback-directed optimization would choose to do so only for profitable (i.e. common) instructions.
2014-01-24arch: Make all register index flattening constAndreas Hansson
This patch makes all the register index flattening methods const for all the ISAs. As part of this, readMiscRegNoEffect for ARM is also made const.
2014-01-24arch, cpu: Add support for flattening misc register indexes.Ali Saidi
With ARMv8 support the same misc register id results in accessing different registers depending on the current mode of the processor. This patch adds the same orthogonality to the misc register file as the others (int, float, cc). For all the othre ISAs this is currently a null-implementation. Additionally, a system variable is added to all the ISA objects.
2014-01-24cpu: Add CPU support for generatig wake up events when LLSC adresses are ↵Ali Saidi
snooped. This patch add support for generating wake-up events in the CPU when an address that is currently in the exclusive state is hit by a snoop. This mechanism is required for ARMv8 multi-processor support.
2013-10-15cpu: add a condition-code register classYasuko Eckert
Add a third register class for condition codes, in parallel with the integer and FP classes. No ISAs use the CC class at this point though.
2013-10-15cpu: rename *_DepTag constants to *_Reg_BaseSteve Reinhardt
Make these names more meaningful. Specifically, made these substitutions: s/FP_Base_DepTag/FP_Reg_Base/g; s/Ctrl_Base_DepTag/Misc_Reg_Base/g; s/Max_DepTag/Max_Reg_Index/g;
2013-10-15cpu: clean up architectural register classificationSteve Reinhardt
Move from a poorly documented scheme where the mapping of unified architectural register indices to register classes is hardcoded all over to one where there's an enum for the register classes and a function that encapsulates the mapping.
2013-09-30arch: Add support for m5ops using mmapped IPRsAndreas Sandberg
In order to support m5ops on virtualized CPUs, we need to either intercept hypercall instructions or provide a memory mapped m5ops interface. Since KVM does not normally pass the results of hypercalls to userspace, which makes that method unfeasible. This changeset introduces support for m5ops using memory mapped mmapped IPRs. This is implemented by adding a class of "generic" IPRs which are handled by architecture-independent code. Such IPRs always have bit 63 set and are handled by handleGenericIprRead() and handleGenericIprWrite(). Platform specific impementations of handleIprRead and handleIprWrite should use GenericISA::isGenericIprAccess to determine if an IPR address should be handled by the generic code instead of the architecture-specific code. Platforms that don't need their own IPR support can reuse GenericISA::handleIprRead() and GenericISA::handleIprWrite().
2013-06-03arch: Create a method to finalize physical addressesAndreas Sandberg
in the TLB Some architectures (currently only x86) require some fixing-up of physical addresses after a normal address translation. This is usually to remap devices such as the APIC, but could be used for other memory mapped devices as well. When running the CPU in a using hardware virtualization, we still need to do these address fix-ups before inserting the request into the memory system. This patch moves this patch allows that code to be used by such CPUs without doing full address translations.
2013-02-19scons: Add warning for overloaded virtual functionsAndreas Hansson
Fix the ISA startup warnings
2013-02-19scons: Add warning for overloaded virtual functionsAndreas Hansson
A derived function with a different signature than a base class function will result in the base class function of the same name being hidden. The parameter list and return type for the member function in the derived class must match those of the member function in the base class, otherwise the function in the derived class will hide the function in the base class and no polymorphic behaviour will occur. This patch addresses these warnings by ensuring a unique function name to avoid (unintentionally) hiding any functions.
2013-01-22x86, cpu: corrects 270c9a75e91f, take over decoder on cpu switchNilay Vaish
The changes made by the changeset 270c9a75e91f do not work well with switching of cpus. The problem is that decoder for the old thread context holds state that is not taken over by the new decoder. This patch adds a takeOverFrom() function to Decoder class in each ISA. Except for x86, functions in other ISAs are blank. For x86, the function copies state from the old decoder to the new decoder.
2013-01-12x86: Changes to decoder, corrects 9376Nilay Vaish
The changes made by the changeset 9376 were not quite correct. The patch made changes to the code which resulted in decoder not getting initialized correctly when the state was restored from a checkpoint. This patch adds a startup function to each ISA object. For x86, this function sets the required state in the decoder. For other ISAs, the function is empty right now.
2013-01-07arch: Move the ISA object to a separate sectionAndreas Sandberg
After making the ISA an independent SimObject, it is serialized automatically by the Python world. Previously, this just resulted in an empty ISA section. This patch moves the contents of the ISA to that section and removes the explicit ISA serialization from the thread contexts, which makes it behave like a normal SimObject during serialization. Note: This patch breaks checkpoint backwards compatibility! Use the cpt_upgrader.py utility to upgrade old checkpoints to the new format.
2013-01-07arch: Make the ISA class inherit from SimObjectAndreas Sandberg
The ISA class on stores the contents of ID registers on many architectures. In order to make reset values of such registers configurable, we make the class inherit from SimObject, which allows us to use the normal generated parameter headers. This patch introduces a Python helper method, BaseCPU.createThreads(), which creates a set of ISAs for each of the threads in an SMT system. Although it is currently only needed when creating multi-threaded CPUs, it should always be called before instantiating the system as this is an obvious place to configure ID registers identifying a thread/CPU.
2013-01-07o3: Fix issue with LLSC ordering and speculationAli Saidi
This patch unlocks the cpu-local monitor when the CPU sees a snoop to a locked address. Previously we relied on the cache to handle the locking for us, however some users on the gem5 mailing list reported a case where the cpu speculatively executes a ll operation after a pending sc operation in the pipeline and that makes the cache monitor valid. This should handle that case by invaliding the local monitor.
2013-01-04Decoder: Remove the thread context get/set from the decoder.Gabe Black
This interface is no longer used, and getting rid of it simplifies the decoders and code that sets up the decoders. The thread context had been used to read architectural state which was used to contextualize the instruction memory as it came in. That was changed so that the state is now sent to the decoders to keep locally if/when it changes. That's significantly more efficient. Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>
2012-11-02sim: Include object header files in SWIG interfacesAndreas Sandberg
When casting objects in the generated SWIG interfaces, SWIG uses classical C-style casts ( (Foo *)bar; ). In some cases, this can degenerate into the equivalent of a reinterpret_cast (mainly if only a forward declaration of the type is available). This usually works for most compilers, but it is known to break if multiple inheritance is used anywhere in the object hierarchy. This patch introduces the cxx_header attribute to Python SimObject definitions, which should be used to specify a header to include in the SWIG interface. The header should include the declaration of the wrapped object. We currently don't enforce header the use of the header attribute, but a warning will be generated for objects that do not use it.
2012-11-02ISA: generic Linux thread info supportDam Sunwoo
This patch takes the Linux thread info support scattered across different ISA implementations (currently in ARM, ALPHA, and MIPS), and unifies them into a single file. Adds a few more helper functions to read out TGID, mm, etc. ISA-specific information (e.g., ALPHA PCBB register) is now moved to the corresponding isa_traits.hh files.
2012-08-28Clock: Add a Cycles wrapper class and use where applicableAndreas Hansson
This patch addresses the comments and feedback on the preceding patch that reworks the clocks and now more clearly shows where cycles (relative cycle counts) are used to express time. Instead of bumping the existing patch I chose to make this a separate patch, merely to try and focus the discussion around a smaller set of changes. The two patches will be pushed together though. This changes done as part of this patch are mostly following directly from the introduction of the wrapper class, and change enough code to make things compile and run again. There are definitely more places where int/uint/Tick is still used to represent cycles, and it will take some time to chase them all down. Similarly, a lot of parameters should be changed from Param.Tick and Param.Unsigned to Param.Cycles. In addition, the use of curTick is questionable as there should not be an absolute cycle. Potential solutions can be built on top of this patch. There is a similar situation in the o3 CPU where lastRunningCycle is currently counting in Cycles, and is still an absolute time. More discussion to be had in other words. An additional change that would be appropriate in the future is to perform a similar wrapping of Tick and probably also introduce a Ticks class along with suitable operators for all these classes.
2012-08-15sysemul: bump all linux versions of for syscal emulation to 3.0.Ali Saidi
New tool chains seem to be looking for kernel versions newer than what this this was previously set to. Also take this opportunity to change the hostname we report in uname to sim.gem5.org.
2012-08-06syscall emulation: Clean up ioctl handling, and implement for x86.Marc Orr
Enable different whitelists for different OS/arch combinations, since some use the generic Linux definitions only, and others use definitions inherited from earlier Unix flavors on those architectures. Also update x86 function pointers so ioctl is no longer unimplemented on that platform. This patch is a revised version of Vince Weaver's earlier patch.
2012-06-08Power: Fix MaxMiscDestRegs which was set to zeroAndreas Hansson
This patch fixes a failing compilation caused by MaxMiscDestRegs being zero. According to gcc 4.6, the result is a comparison that is always false due to limited range of data type.
