2016-07-21isa: Modify get/check interrupt routinesMitch Hayenga
Make it so that getInterrupt *always* returns an interrupt if checkInterrupts() returns true. This fixes/simplifies handling of interrupts on the SMT FS CPUs (currently minor).
2016-04-01syscall_emul: remove mmapFlagTableSteve Reinhardt
After all this it turns out we don't even use it.
2016-04-01syscall_emul: factor out flag tables into common fileSteve Reinhardt
The openFlagTable and mmapFlagTables for emulated Linux platforms are basically identical, but are specified repetitively for every platform. Use a common file that gets included for each platform so that we only have one copy, making them more consistent and simplifying changes (like adding #ifdefs). In the process, made some minor fixes that slipped through due to previous inconsistencies, and added more #ifdefs to try to fix building on alternative hosts.
2016-03-17base: add symbol support for dynamic librariesBrandon Potter
Libraries are loaded into the process address space using the mmap system call. Conveniently, this happens to be a good time to update the process symbol table with the library's incoming symbols so we handle the table update from within the system call. This works just like an application's normal symbols. The only difference between a dynamic library and a main executable is when the symbol table update occurs. The symbol table update for an executable happens at program load time and is finished before the process ever begins executing. Since dynamic linking happens at runtime, the symbol loading happens after the library is first loaded into the process address space. The library binary is examined at this time for a symbol section and that section is parsed for symbol types with specific bindings (global, local, weak). Subsequently, these symbols are added to the table and are available for use by gem5 for things like trace generation. Checkpointing should work just as it did previously. The address space (and therefore the library) will be recorded and the symbol table will be entirely recorded. (It's not possible to do anything clever like checkpoint a program and then load the program back with different libraries with LD_LIBRARY_PATH, because the library becomes part of the address space after being loaded.)

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.
2016-03-17syscall_emul: extend mmap system call to support file backed mmapsBrandon Potter
For O3, which has a stat that counts reg reads, there is an additional reg read per mmap() call since there's an arg we no longer ignore. Otherwise, stats should not be affected.
2016-03-17syscall_emul: add many Linux kernel flagsBrandon Potter
2016-03-17syscall_emul: rename OpenFlagTransTable structBrandon Potter
The structure definition only had the open system call flag set in mind when it was named, so we rename it here with the intention of using it to define additional tables to translate flags for other system calls in the future.

Make clang happy...again.
2016-02-15misc: Add missing overrides to appease clangAndreas Hansson
Since the last round of fixes a few new issues have snuck in. We should consider switching the regression runs to clang.

Result of running 'hg m5style --skip-all --fix-white -a'.
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.
2016-01-17arch: get rid of unused LargestRead typedefSteve Reinhardt
2016-01-11scons: Enable -Wextra by defaultAndreas Hansson
Make best use of the compiler, and enable -Wextra as well as -Wall. There are a few issues that had to be resolved, but they are all trivial.
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.

Remove sparc V8 TBR register from list of registers since it is not part of sparc V9. This brings the number of registers in sync with what gdb expects Without this patch gdb complains about receoved packet too long. with this patch gdb is able to work properly with gem5 for remote debugging.

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.
2015-09-30isa,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.
2015-09-15sparc: writing to tick_cmpr should not cause a panicPalle Lyckegaard
This register is writable according to UA2005 Tried to boot NetBSD which starts the kernel by writing to the tick_cmpr register. Without the patch gem5 crashes with a panic. With the patch NetBSD starts to boot normally (although sun4v support in NetBSD is not complete yet) Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>

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
2015-01-25cpu: Put all CPU instruction tracers in a single fileAli Saidi
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.
2014-12-05misc: Make the GDB register cache accessible in various sized chunks.Gabe Black
Not all ISAs have 64 bit sized registers, so it's not always very convenient to access the GDB register cache in 64 bit sized chunks. This change makes it accessible in 8, 16, 32, or 64 bit chunks. The MIPS and ARM implementations were working around that limitation by bundling and unbundling 32 bit values into 64 bit values. That code has been removed.
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.

2014-10-16arch: 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.
2014-08-26sparc: Fixup bit ordering in the PSTATE bit unionAndreas Sandberg
The order of the MSB and LSB bit of the mm field in the PSTATE union is wrong. Any access to this field will currently be ignored and reads will always return zero. This patch fixes the ordering so it is <MSB, LSB> instead of <LSB, MSB>.
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.

2014-05-09arch: 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;
