This percolates down to the memory request object which will have its
"UNCACHEABLE" flag set.

This patch adds support for cache flushing instructions in x86.
It piggybacks on support for similar instructions in arm ISA
added by Nikos Nikoleris. I have tested each instruction using
microbenchmarks.

Explicitly separate the way the data is represented in the underlying
representation from how it's represented in the instruction.
In order to make the ISA parser happy, the Mem operand needs to have
a single, particular type. To handle that with scalar types, we just
used uint64_ts and then worked with values that were smaller than the
maximum we could hold. To work with these new array values, we also
use an underlying uint64_t for each element.
To make accessing the underlying memory system more natural, when we
go to actually read or write values, we translate the access into an
array of the actual, correct underlying type. That way we don't have
non-exact asserts which confuse gcc, or weird endianness conversion
which assumes that the data should be flipped 8 bytes at a time.
Because the functions involved are generally inline, the syntactic
niceness should all boil off, and the final implementation in the
binary should be simple and efficient for the given data types.

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.

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.

When in 64-bit mode, if the stack is accessed implicitly by an instruction
the alternate address prefix should be ignored if present.
This patch adds an extra flag to the ldstop which signifies when the
address override should be ignored. Then, for all of the affected
instructions, this patch adds two options to the ld and st opcode to use
the current stack addressing mode for all addresses and to ignore the
AddressSizeFlagBit. Finally, this patch updates the x86 TLB to not
truncate the address if it is in 64-bit mode and the IgnoreAddrSizeFlagBit
is set.
This fixes a problem when calling __libc_start_main with a binary that is
linked with a recent version of ld. This version of ld uses the address
override prefix (0x67) on the call instruction instead of a nop.
Note: This has not been tested in compatibility mode and only the call
instruction with the address override prefix has been tested.

The previous implementation did a pair of nested RMW operations,
which isn't compatible with the way that locked RMW operations are
implemented in the cache models. It was convenient though in that
it didn't require any new micro-ops, and supported cmpxchg16b using
64-bit memory ops. It also worked in AtomicSimpleCPU where
atomicity was guaranteed by the core and not by the memory system.
It did not work with timing CPU models though.
This new implementation defines new 'split' load and store micro-ops
which allow a single memory operation to use a pair of registers as
the source or destination, then uses a single ldsplit/stsplit RMW
pair to implement cmpxchg. This patch requires support for 128-bit
memory accesses in the ISA (added via a separate patch) to support
cmpxchg16b.
|

Although the cache models support wider accesses, the ISA descriptions
assume that (for the most part) memory operands are integer types,
which makes it difficult to define instructions that do memory accesses
larger than 64 bits.
This patch adds some generic support for memory operands that are arrays
of uint64_t, and specifically a 'u2qw' operand type for x86 that is an
array of 2 uint64_ts (128 bits). This support is unused at this point,
but will be needed shortly for cmpxchg16b. Ideally the 128-bit SSE
memory accesses will also be rewritten to use this support.
Support for 128-bit accesses could also have been added using the gcc
__int128_t extension, which would have been less disruptive. However,
although clang also supports __int128_t, it's still non-standard.
Also, more importantly, this approach creates a path to defining
256- and 512-byte operands as well, which will be useful for eventual
AVX support.

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.

fild loads an integer value into the x87 top of stack register.
fucomi/fucomip compare two x87 register values (the latter
also doing a stack pop).
These instructions are used by some versions of GNU libstdc++.

Makes x86-style locked operations even more distinct from
LLSC operations. Using "locked" by itself should be
obviously ambiguous now.

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.

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.

The x87 FPU supports three floating point formats: 32-bit, 64-bit, and
80-bit floats. The current gem5 implementation supports 32-bit and
64-bit floats, but only works correctly for 64-bit floats. This
changeset fixes the 32-bit float handling by correctly loading and
rounding (using truncation) 32-bit floats instead of simply truncating
the bit pattern.
80-bit floats are loaded by first loading the 80-bits of the float to
two temporary integer registers. A micro-op (cvtint_fp80) then
converts the contents of the two integer registers to the internal FP
representation (double). Similarly, when storing an 80-bit float,
there are two conversion routines (ctvfp80h_int and cvtfp80l_int) that
convert an internal FP register to 80-bit and stores the upper 64-bits
or lower 32-bits to an integer register, which is the written to
memory using normal integer stores.

Virtual (pre-segmentation) addresses are truncated based on address size, and
any non-64 bit linear address is truncated to 32 bits. This means that real
mode addresses aren't truncated down to 16 bits after their segment bases are
added in.

By using an underscore, the "." is still available and can unambiguously be
used to refer to members of a structure if an operand is a structure, class,
etc. This change mostly just replaces the appropriate "."s with "_"s, but
there were also a few places where the ISA descriptions where handling the
extensions themselves and had their own regular expressions to update. The
regular expressions in the isa parser were updated as well. It also now
looks for one of the defined type extensions specifically after connecting "_"
where before it would look for any sequence of characters after a "."
following an operand name and try to use it as the extension. This helps to
disambiguate cases where a "_" may legitimately be part of an operand name but
not separate the name from the type suffix.
Because leaving the "_" and suffix on the variable name still leaves a valid
C++ identifier and all extensions need to be consistent in a given context, I
considered leaving them on as a breadcrumb that would show what the intended
type was for that operand. Unfortunately the operands can be referred to in
code templates, the Mem operand in particular, and since the exact type of Mem
can be different for different uses of the same template, that broke things.

If a fault was returned by the CPU when a store initiated it's write, the
store instruction would ignore the fault. This change fixes that.

In x86, 32 and 64 bit writes to registers in which registers appear to be 32 or
64 bits wide overwrite all bits of the destination register. This change
removes false dependencies in these cases where the previous value of a
register doesn't need to be read to write a new value. New versions of most
microops are created that have a "Big" suffix which simply overwrite their
destination, and the right version to use is selected during microop
allocation based on the selected data size.
This does not change the performance of the O3 CPU model significantly, I
assume because there are other false dependencies from the condition code bits
in the flags register.

This will reduce clutter in the source and hopefully speed up compilation.

This single parameter replaces the collection of bools that set up various
flavors of microops. A flag parameter also allows other flags to be set like
the serialize before/after flags, etc., without having to change the
constructor.

This microop does a store and unlocks the requested address. The RISC86
microop ISA doesn't seem to have an equivalent to this, so I'm guessing that
the store following an ldstl is automatically unlocking. We don't do it this
way for performance reasons since the behavior is the same.
|
|
This microop does a load, checks that a store would succeed, and locks the
requested address.
