2017-11-07alpha,arm,mips,power,riscv,sparc,x86: Merge exec decl templates.Gabe Black
In the ISA instruction definitions, some classes were declared with execute, etc., functions outside of the main template because they had CPU specific signatures and would need to be duplicated with each CPU plugged into them. Now that the instructions always just use an ExecContext, there's no reason for those templates to be separate. This change folds those templates together.

2017-11-02alpha,arm,mips,power,riscv,sparc,x86,isa: De-specialize ExecContexts.Gabe Black
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.

2017-10-13mem: Signal the local monitor when clearing the global monitorNikos Nikoleris
ARM systems require the coordination of the global and local monitors. When the system is run without caches the global monitor is implemented in the abstract memory object. This change adds a callback from the abstract memory that notifies the local monitor when the global monitor is cleared. Additionally, for ARM systems the local monitor signals the event register and wakes the thread context up. Subsequent wait-for-event (WFE) instructions will be immediately signaled.

2017-07-05cpu: Added interface for vector reg fileRekai Gonzalez-Alberquilla
This patch adds some more functionality to the cpu model and the arch to interface with the vector register file. 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. Nathanael Premillieu's work with an increasing number of fixes and improvements of mine.

With the hierarchical RegId there are a lot of functions that are redundant now. The idea behind the simplification is that instead of having the regId, telling which kind of register read/write/rename/lookup/etc. and then the function panic_if'ing if the regId is not of the appropriate type, we provide an interface that decides what kind of register to read depending on the register type of the given regId.

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.
2015-07-20syscall_emul: [patch 13/22] add system call retry capabilityBrandon Potter
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.
2016-11-09syscall_emul: [patch 8/22] refactor process classBrandon Potter
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.

2016-03-17syscall_emul: move mmapGrowsDown() to LiveProcessSteve Reinhardt
The mmapGrowsDown() method was a static method on the OperatingSystem class (and derived classes), which worked OK for the templated syscall emulation methods, but made it hard to access elsewhere. This patch moves the method to be a virtual function on the LiveProcess method, where it can be overridden for specific platforms (for now, Alpha). This patch also changes the value of mmapGrowsDown() from being false by default and true only on X86Linux32 to being true by default and false only on Alpha, which seems closer to reality (though in reality most people use ASLR and this doesn't really matter anymore). In the process, also got rid of the unused mmap_start field on LiveProcess and OperatingSystem mmapGrowsUp variable.

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.

2015-10-09isa: 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.

2015-07-07sim: 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.

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.
