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.

2018-01-20sim, arch, base: Refactor the base remote GDB class.Gabe Black
Fold the GDBListener class into the main BaseRemoteGDB class, move around a bunch of functions, convert a lot of internal functions to be private, move some functions into the .cc, make some functions non-virtual which didn't really need to be overridden.

2017-12-22arch,cpu: "virtualize" the TLB interface.Gabe Black
CPUs have historically instantiated the architecture specific version of the TLBs to avoid a virtual function call, making them a little bit more dependent on what the current ISA is. Some simple performance measurement, the x86 twolf regression on the atomic CPU, shows that there isn't actually any performance benefit, and if anything the simulator goes slightly faster (although still within margin of error) when the TLB functions are virtual. This change switches everything outside of the architectures themselves to use the generic BaseTLB type, and then inside the ISA for them to cast that to their architecture specific type to call into architecture specific interfaces. The ARM TLB needed the most adjustment since it was using non-standard translation function signatures. Specifically, they all took an extra "type" parameter which defaulted to normal, and translateTiming returned a Fault. translateTiming actually doesn't need to return a Fault because everywhere that consumed it just stored it into a structure which it then deleted(?), and the fault is stored in the Translation object when the translation is done. A little more work is needed to fully obviate the arch/tlb.hh header, so the TheISA::TLB type is still visible outside of the ISAs. Specifically, the TlbEntry type is used in the generic PageTable which lives in src/mem.

2017-05-18base: Refactor the GDB code.Gabe Black
The new version modularizes the implementation of the various commands, gets rid of dynamic allocation of the register cache, fixes some small style problems, and uses exceptions to simplify error handling internal to the GDB stub.

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.

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.
2014-12-05x86: Implement a remote GDB stub.Gabe Black
This stub should allow remote debugging of 32 bit and 64 bit targets. Single stepping seems to work, as do breakpoints. If both breakpoints and single stepping affect an instruction, gdb will stop at the instruction twice before continuing. That's a little surprising, but is generally harmless.

We should always refer to the specific ISA in that arch directory. This is especially necessary if we're ever going to make it to the point where we actually have heterogeneous systems.
