The ISA parser had been assuming these microops were all FloatAddOp
which is usually not correct.

Add bitfields which can gather/scatter base and limit fields within
"normal" segment descriptors, and in TSS descriptors which have the
same bitfields in the same positions for those two values.
This centralizes the code which manages those bitfields and makes it
less likely that a local implementation will be buggy.

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.

That particular ExtMachInst is a convenient placeholder, but a value
of 0 in RISCV or a static uninitialized ExtMachInst (which will
therefore be all zeroes) on x86 works just as well, and removes the
need for an ISA specific constant.
Also, the idea of a universal Nop doesn't always make sense since it
could be that what, exactly, doesn't do anything depends on context
which would be lost on a constant value of an ExtMachInst. For
instance, the value of an ExtMachInst that makes sense might depend on
what mode the CPU was in, etc.

GCC 7.2 is much stricter than previous GCC versions. The following changes
are needed:
* There is now a warning if there is an implicit fallthrough between two
case statments. C++17 adds the [[fallthrough]]; declaration. However,
to support non C++17 standards (i.e., C++11), we use M5_FALLTHROUGH.
M5_FALLTHROUGH checks for [[fallthrough]] compliant C++17 compiler and
if that doesn't exist, it defaults to nothing (no older compilers
generate warnings).
* The above resulted in a couple of bugs that were found. This is noted
in the review request on gerrit.
* throw() for dynamic exception specification is deprecated
* There were a couple of new uninitialized variable warnings
* Can no longer perform bitwise operations on a bool.
* Must now include <functional> for std::function
* Compiler bug for void* lambda. Changed to auto as work around. See
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=82878

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.

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.

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.

UBSAN flags this operation because it detects that arg is being cast directly
to an unsigned type, argBits. this patch fixes this by first casting the
value to a signed int type, then reintrepreting the raw bits of the signed
int into argBits.

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.

These are packed single-precision approximate reciprocal operations,
vector and scalar versions, respectively.
This code was basically developed by copying the code for
sqrtps and sqrtss. The mrcp micro-op was simplified relative to
msqrt since there are no double-precision versions of this operation.

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

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.
|
|
X87 store instructions typically loads and pops the top value of the
stack and stores it in memory. The current implementation pops the
stack at the same time as the floating point value is loaded to a
temporary register. This will corrupt the state of the x87 stack if
the store fails. This changeset introduces a pop87 micro-instruction
that pops the stack and uses this instruction in the affected
macro-instructions to pop the stack after storing the value to memory.
|
|
The current implementation of the x87 never updates the x87 tag
word. This is currently not a big issue since the simulated x87 never
checks for stack overflows, however this becomes an issue when
switching between a virtualized CPU and a simulated CPU. This
changeset adds support, which is enabled by default, for updating the
tag register to every floating point microop that updates the stack
top using the spm mechanism.
The new tag words is generated by the helper function
X86ISA::genX87Tags(). This function is currently limited to flagging a
stack position as valid or invalid and does not try to distinguish
between the valid, zero, and special states.
|
|
This changeset actually fixes two issues:
* The lfpimm instruction didn't work correctly when applied to a
floating point constant (it did work for integers containing the
bit string representation of a constant) since it used
reinterpret_cast to convert a double to a uint64_t. This caused a
compilation error, at least, in gcc 4.6.3.
* The instructions loading floating point constants in the x87
processor didn't work correctly since they just stored a truncated
integer instead of a double in the floating point register. This
changeset fixes the old microcode by using lfpimm instruction
instead of the limm instructions.
|
|
The current implementation of fprem simply does an fmod and doesn't
simulate any of the iterative behavior in a real fprem. This isn't
normally a problem, however, it can lead to problems when switching
between CPU models. If switching from a real CPU in the middle of an
fprem loop to a simulated CPU, the output of the fprem loop becomes
correupted. This changeset changes the fprem implementation to work
like the one on real hardware.
|
|
This changeset fixes two problems in the FABS and FCHS
implementation. First, the ISA parser expects the assignment in
flag_code to be a pure assignment and not an and-assignment, which
leads to the isa_parser omitting the misc reg update. Second, the FCHS
and FABS macro-ops don't set the SetStatus flag, which means that the
default micro-op version, which doesn't update FSW, is executed.
|
|
Currently all the integer microops are marked as IntAluOp and the floating
point microops are marked as FloatAddOp. This patch adds support for marking
different microops differently. Now IntMultOp, IntDivOp, FloatDivOp,
FloatMultOp, FloatCvtOp, FloatSqrtOp classes will be used as well. This will
help in providing different latencies for different op class.

This patch implements the fsincos instruction. The code was originally written

|
|
The patch introduces two predicates for condition code registers -- one
tests if a register needs to be read, the other tests whether a register
needs to be written to. These predicates are evaluated twice -- during
construction of the microop and during its execution. Register reads
and writes are elided depending on how the predicates evaluate.
|
|
The D flag bit is part of the cc flag bit register currently. But since it
is not being used any where in the implementation, it creates an unnecessary
dependency. Hence, it is being moved to a separate register.
|
|
This patch moves the ECF and EZF bits to individual registers (ecfBit and
ezfBit) and the CF and OF bits to cfofFlag registers. This is being done
so as to lower the read after write dependencies on the the condition code
register. Ultimately we will have the following registers [ZAPS], [OF],
[CF], [ECF], [EZF] and [DF]. Note that this is only one part of the
solution for lowering the dependencies. The other part will check whether
or not the condition code register needs to be actually read. This would
be done through a separate patch.

This patch addresses a number of minor issues that cause problems when
compiling with clang >= 3.0 and gcc >= 4.6. Most importantly, it
avoids using the deprecated ext/hash_map and instead uses
unordered_map (and similarly so for the hash_set). To make use of the
new STL containers, g++ and clang has to be invoked with "-std=c++0x",
and this is now added for all gcc versions >= 4.6, and for clang >=
3.0. For gcc >= 4.3 and <= 4.5 and clang <= 3.0 we use the tr1
unordered_map to avoid the deprecation warning.
The addition of c++0x in turn causes a few problems, as the
compiler is more stringent and adds a number of new warnings. Below,
the most important issues are enumerated:
1) the use of namespaces is more strict, e.g. for isnan, and all
headers opening the entire namespace std are now fixed.
2) another other issue caused by the more stringent compiler is the
narrowing of the embedded python, which used to be a char array,
and is now unsigned char since there were values larger than 128.
3) a particularly odd issue that arose with the new c++0x behaviour is
found in range.hh, where the operator< causes gcc to complain about
the template type parsing (the "<" is interpreted as the beginning
of a template argument), and the problem seems to be related to the
begin/end members introduced for the range-type iteration, which is
a new feature in c++11.
As a minor update, this patch also fixes the build flags for the clang
debug target that used to be shared with gcc and incorrectly use
"-ggdb".

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.

If an instruction is executed speculatively and hits a situation where it

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.
