2019-12-10arch,cpu,sim: Push syscall number determination up to processes.Gabe Black
The logic that determines which syscall to call was built into the implementation of faults/exceptions or even into the instruction decoder, but that logic can depend on what OS is being used, and sometimes even what version, for example 32bit vs. 64bit. This change pushes that logic up into the Process objects since those already handle a lot of the aspects of emulating the guest OS. Instead, the ISA or fault implementations just notify the rest of the system that a nebulous syscall has happened, and that gets propogated upward until the process does something with it. That's very analogous to how a system call would work on a real machine. When a system call happens, the low level component which detects that should call tc->syscall(&fault), where tc is the relevant thread (or execution) context, and fault is a Fault which can ultimately be set by the system call implementation. The TC implementor (probably a CPU) will then have a chance to do whatever it needs to to handle a system call. Currently only O3 does anything special here. That implementor will end up calling the Process's syscall() method. Once in Process::syscall, the process object will use it's contextual knowledge to determine what system call is being requested. It then calls Process::doSyscall with the right syscall number, where doSyscall centralizes the common mechanism for actually retrieving and calling into the system call implementation.

2019-11-18arch: Get rid of the (Big|Little)EndianGuest namespaces.Gabe Black
These namespaces were used to set up an environment/context where there was an implicit guest namespace. This is an issue when there may be multiple guest endiannesses which might be different. In cases where we don't know what the guest endianness is, we can't rely on it being an implicit part of our context since that would be ambiguous. In cases where we do know, for instance in ISA specific code, we can just use the endianness specific version that's appropriate for that context. This also (somewhat) removes the assumption that there is a single endianness that applies for a particular ISA. Practically speaking this assumption will probably still stand though, since there would likely be a non-trivial performance penalty to apply a configurable endianness instead of a fixed one the compiler can optomize/remove.

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.

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.

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.

2018-06-11misc: Using smart pointers for memory RequestsGiacomo Travaglini
This patch is changing the underlying type for RequestPtr from Request* to shared_ptr<Request>. Having memory requests being managed by smart pointers will simplify the code; it will also prevent memory leakage and dangling pointers.

2018-05-08arch-x86, arch-power: fix calls to bits and insertBitsMatt Sinclair
The bits and insertBits assume the first bit is the larger bit and the last bit is the smaller bit. This commit fixes several X86 and Power calls to these functions that incorrectly assumed that first was the smaller bit.

2018-03-26arch: Fix all override related warnings.Gabe Black
Clang has started(?) reporting override related warnings, something gcc apparently did before, but was disabled in the SConstruct. Rather than disable the warnings in for clang as well, this change fixes the warnings. A future change will re-enable the warnings for gcc.

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.
