When a branch micro-op belongs to a flow and the micro-op does not change
the nPC and just updates the nuPC (like a 'rep movs' flow), branching()
function always returns not-taken no matter actual micro-branch outcome.
Provided fix adds to the equation nuPC attribute checking since these kind
of branch micro-op only updates that pointer.
This issue has been found while debugging the performance of a copy-loop
implemented with memcopy function. Without the fix, 'rep movss' internal
micro-branch was always predicted as not-taken causing an squash event
after every branch micro-branch execution.
Using the provided test, branch mispredition went from 1922 without the fix
to 7.

This changeset sets the implementation policy for a subset of
system calls to the ignoreFunc implementation (for x86 only).
The ignored system calls likely will never be implemented and
this allows a warning to be issued instead of the simulation
exiting with a fatal.

This changeset extends the pipe system call to work with
architectures other than Alpha (and enables the syscall for
x86). For the dup system call, it sets the clone-on-exec
flag by default. For the dup2 system call, the changeset
adds an implementation (and enables it for x86).

simulations
Modifies the clone system call and adds execve system call. Requires allowing
processes to steal thread contexts from other processes in the same system
object and the ability to detach pieces of process state (such as MemState)
to allow dynamic sharing.
|
|
This changeset add fields to the process object and adds the following
three system calls: setpgid, gettid, getpid.
|
|
|
|
This changeset adds functionality that allows system calls to retry without
affecting thread context state such as the program counter or register values
for the associated thread context (when system calls return with a retry
fault).
This functionality is needed to solve problems with blocking system calls
in multi-process or multi-threaded simulations where information is passed
between processes/threads. Blocking system calls can cause deadlock because
the simulator itself is single threaded. There is only a single thread
servicing the event queue which can cause deadlock if the thread hits a
blocking system call instruction.
To illustrate the problem, consider two processes using the producer/consumer
sharing model. The processes can use file descriptors and the read and write
calls to pass information to one another. If the consumer calls the blocking
read system call before the producer has produced anything, the call will
block the event queue (while executing the system call instruction) and
deadlock the simulation.
The solution implemented in this changeset is to recognize that the system
calls will block and then generate a special retry fault. The fault will
be sent back up through the function call chain until it is exposed to the
cpu model's pipeline where the fault becomes visible. The fault will trigger
the cpu model to replay the instruction at a future tick where the call has
a chance to succeed without actually going into a blocking state.
In subsequent patches, we recognize that a syscall will block by calling a
non-blocking poll (from inside the system call implementation) and checking
for events. When events show up during the poll, it signifies that the call
would not have blocked and the syscall is allowed to proceed (calling an
underlying host system call if necessary). If no events are returned from the
poll, we generate the fault and try the instruction for the thread context
at a distant tick. Note that retrying every tick is not efficient.
As an aside, the simulator has some multi-threading support for the event
queue, but it is not used by default and needs work. Even if the event queue
was completely multi-threaded, meaning that there is a hardware thread on
the host servicing a single simulator thread contexts with a 1:1 mapping
between them, it's still possible to run into deadlock due to the event queue
barriers on quantum boundaries. The solution of replaying at a later tick
is the simplest solution and solves the problem generally.

This changeset adds the ability to set a close-on-exec flag for a given
file descriptor. It also reworks some of the logic surrounding setting and
retrieving flags from the file description.

Moves aux_vector into its own .hh and .cc files just to get it out of the
already crowded Process files. Arguably, it could stay there, but it's
probably better just to move it and give it files.
The changeset looks ugly around the Process header file, but the goal here is
to move methods and members around so that they're not defined randomly
throughout the entire header file. I expect this is likely one of the reasons
why I several unused variables related to this class. So, the methods are
declared first followed by members. I've tried to aggregate them together
so that similar entries reside near one another.
There are other changes coming to this code so this is by no means the
final product.

The EIOProcess class was removed recently and it was the only other class
which derived from Process. Since every Process invocation is also a
LiveProcess invocation, it makes sense to simplify the organization by
combining the fields from LiveProcess into Process.

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.

For instructions that are affected see [1] page 519 (pdf page 555).

Used cppclean to help identify useless includes and removed them. This
involved erroneously included headers, but also cases where forward
declarations could have been used rather than a full include.

The class was crammed into syscall_emul.hh which has tons of forward
declarations and template definitions. To clean it up a bit, moved the
class into separate files and commented the class with doxygen style
comments. Also, provided some encapsulation by adding some accessors and
a mutator.
The syscallreturn.hh file was renamed syscall_return.hh to make it consistent
with other similarly named files in the src/sim directory.
The DPRINTF_SYSCALL macro was moved into its own header file with the
include the Base and Verbose flags as well.

fixes to appease clang++. tested on:
Ubuntu clang version 3.5.0-4ubuntu2~trusty2
(tags/RELEASE_350/final) (based on LLVM 3.5.0)
Ubuntu clang version 3.6.0-2ubuntu1~trusty1
(tags/RELEASE_360/final) (based on LLVM 3.6.0)
the fixes address the following five issues:
1) the exec continuations in gpu_static_inst.hh were marked
as protected when they should be public. here we mark
them as public
2) the Abs instruction uses std::abs() in its execute method.
because Abs is templated, it can also operate on U32 and U64,
types, which cause Abs::execute() to pass uint32_t and uint64_t
types to std::abs() respectively. this triggers a warning
because std::abs() has no effect in this case. to rememdy this
we add template specialization for the execute() method of Abs
when its template paramter is U32 or U64.
3) Some potocols that utilize the code in cprintf.hh were missing
includes to BoolVec.hh, which defines operator<< for the BoolVec
type. This would cause issues when the generated code would try
to pass a BoolVec type to a method in cprintf.hh that used
operator<< on an instance of a BoolVec.
4) Surprise, clang doesn't like it when you clobber all the bits
in a newly allocated object. I.e., this code:
tlb = new GpuTlbEntry\[size\];
std::memset(tlb, 0, sizeof(GpuTlbEntry) \* size);
Let's use std::vector to track the TLB entries in the GpuTlb now...
5) There were a few variables used only in DPRINTFs, so we mark them
with M5_VAR_USED.

This patch adds the ability for an application to request dist-gem5 to begin/
end synchronization using an m5 op. When toggling on sync, all nodes agree
on the next sync point based on the maximum of all nodes' ticks. CPUs are
suspended until the sync point to avoid sending network messages until sync has
been enabled. Toggling off sync acts like a global execution barrier, where
all CPUs are disabled until every node reaches the toggle off point. This
avoids tricky situations such as one node hitting a toggle off followed by a
toggle on before the other nodes hit the first toggle off.

Normal MMAPPED_IPR requests are allowed to execute speculatively under the
assumption that they have no side effects. The special case of m5ops that are
treated like MMAPPED_IPR should not be allowed to execute speculatively, since
they can have side-effects. Adding the STRICT_ORDER flag to these requests
blocks execution until the associated instruction hits the ROB head.

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.

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.

For O3, which has a stat that counts reg reads, there is an additional

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.
