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.

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.

This changeset adds support for INIT and STARTUP IPI handling. We
currently handle both of these interrupts in gem5 and transfer the
state to KVM. Since we do not have a BIOS loaded, we pretend that the
INIT interrupt suspends the CPU after reset.

The TSL/LDT & TR/TSS segments didn't contain valid attributes. This
caused problems when transfering the state into KVM where invalid
state is a no-go. Fixup the attributes with values from AMD's
architecture programmer's manual.

Changeset 7274310be1bb (isa: clean up register constants) increased
the value of NumFloatRegs, which triggered a bug in
X86ISA::copyRegs(). This bug is caused by the x87 stack being copied
twice since register indexes past NUM_FLOATREGS are mapped into the
x87 stack relative to the top of the stack, which is undefined when
the copy takes place.
This changeset updates the copyRegs() function to use access registers
using the non-flattening interface, which guarantees that undesirable
register folding does not happen.

The getRFlags and setRFlags utility functions were not updated
correctly when condition registers were separated into their own
register class. This lead to incorrect state transfer in calls from
kvm into the simulator (e.g., m5 readfile ended up in an infinite
loop) and when switching CPUs. This patch makes these utility
functions use getCCReg and setCCReg instead of getIntReg and setIntReg
which read and write the integer registers.

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.

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.

Convert condition code registers from being specialized

Add a third register class for condition codes,

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;

Clean up and add some consistency to the *_Base_DepTag
constants as well as some related register constants:
- Get rid of NumMiscArchRegs, TotalArchRegs, and TotalDataRegs
since they're never used and not always defined
- Set FP_Base_DepTag = NumIntRegs when possible (i.e.,
every case except x86)
- Set Ctrl_Base_DepTag = FP_Base_DepTag + NumFloatRegs
(this was true before, but wasn't always expressed
that way)
- Drastically reduce the number of arbitrary constants
appearing in these calculations

Move from a poorly documented scheme where the mapping
of unified architectural register indices to register

Using address bit 63 to identify generic IPRs caused problems on
SPARC, where IPRs are heavily used. This changeset redefines how
generic IPRs are identified. Instead of using bit 63, we now use a
separate flag (GENERIC_IPR) a memory request.

In order to support m5ops in virtualized environments, we need to use
a memory mapped interface. This changeset adds support for that by
reserving 0xFFFF0000-0xFFFFFFFF and mapping those to the generic IPR
interface for m5ops. The mapping is done in the
X86ISA::TLB::finalizePhysical() which means that it just works for all
of the CPU models, including virtualized ones.
|
|
In order to support m5ops on virtualized CPUs, we need to either
intercept hypercall instructions or provide a memory mapped m5ops
interface. Since KVM does not normally pass the results of hypercalls
to userspace, which makes that method unfeasible. This changeset
introduces support for m5ops using memory mapped mmapped IPRs. This is
implemented by adding a class of "generic" IPRs which are handled by
architecture-independent code. Such IPRs always have bit 63 set and
are handled by handleGenericIprRead() and
handleGenericIprWrite(). Platform specific impementations of
handleIprRead and handleIprWrite should use
GenericISA::isGenericIprAccess to determine if an IPR address should
be handled by the generic code instead of the architecture-specific
code. Platforms that don't need their own IPR support can reuse
GenericISA::handleIprRead() and GenericISA::handleIprWrite().

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 x87 FPU on x86 supports extended floating point. We currently
handle all floating point on x86 as double and don't support 80-bit
loads/stores. This changeset add a utility function to load and
convert 80-bit floats to doubles (loadFloat80) and another function to
store doubles as 80-bit floats (storeFloat80). Both functions use
libfputils to do the conversion in software. The functions are
currently not used, but are required to handle floating point in KVM
and to properly support all x87 loads/stores.

Add support for extracting the first 6 64-bit integer argumements to a
function call in X86ISA::getArgument().

This changeset adds the convX87XTagsToTags() and convX87TagsToXTags()
which convert between the tag formats in the FTW register and the
format used in the xsave area. The conversion from to the x87 FTW
representation is currently loses some information since it does not
reconstruct the valid/zero/special flags which are not included in the
xsave representation.

This patch allows the KVM CPU module to initialize it's MSRs by
enumerating the MSRs in the gem5 x86 implementation.

In order to support hardware virtualization, we need to be able to
check if there are any interrupts pending irregardless of the
rflags.intf value. This changeset adds the checkInterruptsRaw() method
to the x86 interrupt control. It returns true if there are pending
interrupts that can be delivered as soon as the CPU is ready for
interrupt delivery.

This patch allows a hardware virtualized CPU to discover which interrupt
to deliver to the guest.

This patch adds checkpointing support to x86 tlb. It upgrades the

PciDev and IntDev stuck out as the only device classes that
ended in 'Dev' rather than 'Device'. This patch takes care
of that inconsistency.
Note that you may need to delete pre-existing files matching
build/*/python/m5/internal/param_* as scons does not pick up
indirect dependencies on imported python modules when generating
params, and the PciDev -> PciDevice rename takes place in a
file (dev/Device.py) that gets imported quite a bit.

A couple of devices that have single fixed memory mapped regions
were not derived from BasicPioDevice, when that's exactly
the functionality that BasicPioDevice provides. This patch
gets rid of a little bit of redundant code by making those
devices actually do so.
Also fixed the weird case of X86ISA::Interrupts, where
the class already did derive from BasicPioDevice but
didn't actually use all the features it could have.

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.

The rflags register is spread across several different registers. Most
of the flags are stored in MISCREG_RFLAGS, but some are stored in
microcode registers. When accessing RFLAGS, we need to reconstruct it
from these registers. This changeset adds two functions,
X86ISA::getRFlags() and X86ISA::setRFlags(), that take care of this
magic.
|
|
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.

The TSC value stored in MISCREG_TSC is actually just an offset from
the current CPU cycle to the actual TSC value. Writes with
side-effects to the TSC subtract the current cycle count before
storing the new value, while reads add the current cycle count. When
switching CPUs, the current value is copied without side-effects. This
works as long as the source and the destination CPUs have the same
clock frequencies. The TSC will jump, sometimes backwards, if they
have different clock frequencies. Most OSes assume the TSC to be
monotonic and break when this happens.
This changeset makes sure that the TSC is copied with side-effects to
ensure that the offset is updated to match the new CPU.

Some architectures (currently only x86) require some fixing-up of
physical addresses after a normal address translation. This is usually
to remap devices such as the APIC, but could be used for other memory
mapped devices as well. When running the CPU in a using hardware
virtualization, we still need to do these address fix-ups before
inserting the request into the memory system. This patch moves this
patch allows that code to be used by such CPUs without doing full
address translations.

This is the x86 version of the ARM changeset baa17ba80e06. In case an
instruction has been squashed by the o3 cpu, this patch allows page
table walker to avoid carrying out a pending translation that the
instruction requested for.

Currently call and return instructions are marked as IsCall and IsReturn. Thus, the
branch predictor does not use RAS for these instructions. Similarly, the number of
function calls that took place is recorded as 0. This patch marks these instructions
as they should be.
|
|
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.
