2016-11-09style: [patch 1/22] use /r/3648/ to reorganize includesBrandon Potter
2015-09-30isa,cpu: Add support for FS SMT InterruptsMitch Hayenga
Adds per-thread interrupt controllers and thread/context logic so that interrupts properly get routed in SMT systems.
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.
2015-02-16arch: Make readMiscRegNoEffect const throughoutAndreas Hansson
Finally took the plunge and made this apply to all ISAs, not just ARM.
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.
2013-01-04Decoder: 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>

2012-02-11SPARC: Make PSTATE and HPSTATE a BitUnion.Gabe Black
This gets rid of cryptic bits of code with lots of bit manipulation, and makes some comments redundant.

2011-10-09[mq]: sefssparcregfile.patchGabe Black
2011-04-15trace: reimplement the DTRACE function so it doesn't use a vectorNathan Binkert
At the same time, rename the trace flags to debug flags since they have broader usage than simply tracing. This means that --trace-flags is now --debug-flags and --trace-help is now --debug-help
2010-11-11SPARC: Clean up some historical style issues.Gabe Black
2010-10-10SPARC: Make SPARC's ISA's clear function initialize everything it should.Gabe Black
Also make it not set some pointers to NULL potentially introducing a memory leak. That should be done in the constructor.
2009-07-10SPARC: Set up a lookup table for integer register flattening.Gabe Black
Using a look up table changed the run time of the SPARC_FS solaris boot regression from: real 14m45.951s user 13m57.528s sys 0m3.452s to: real 12m19.777s user 12m2.685s sys 0m2.420s
2009-07-09SPARC: Fold the MiscRegFile all the way into the ISA object.Gabe Black
2009-07-08Registers: Add an ISA object which replaces the MiscRegFile.Gabe Black
This object encapsulates (or will eventually) the identity and characteristics of the ISA in the CPU.
