2011-05-13Trace: Allow printing ASIDs and selectively tracing based on user/kernel code.Chander Sudanthi
Debug flags are ExecUser, ExecKernel, and ExecAsid. ExecUser and ExecKernel are set by default when Exec is specified. Use minus sign with ExecUser or ExecKernel to remove user or kernel tracing respectively.
2011-05-06X86: Fix the Lldt instructions so they load the ldtr and not the tr.Gabe Black
2011-04-23X86: When decoding a memory only inst, fault on reg encodings, don't assert.Gabe Black
This change makes the decoder figure out if an instruction that only supports memory is using a register encoding and decodes directly to "Unknown" which will behave appropriately. This prevents other parts of the instruction creation process from seeing the mismatch and asserting.
2011-04-15trace: reimplement the DTRACE function so it doesn't use a vectorNathan Binkert
At the same time, rename the trace flags to debug flags since they have broader usage than simply tracing. This means that --trace-flags is now --debug-flags and --trace-help is now --debug-help

2011-04-04ARM: Cleanup implementation of ITSTATE and put important code in PCState.Ali Saidi
Consolidate all code to handle ITSTATE in the PCState object rather than touching a variety of structures/objects.
2011-03-26mips: cleanup ISA-specific codeKorey Sewell
*** (1): get rid of expandForMT function MIPS is the only ISA that cares about having a piece of ISA state integrate multiple threads so add constants for MIPS and relieve the other ISAs from having to define this. Also, InOrder was the only core that was actively calling this function * * * (2): get rid of corespecific type The CoreSpecific type was used as a proxy to pass in HW specific params to a MIPS CPU, but since MIPS FS hasnt been touched for awhile, it makes sense to not force every other ISA to use CoreSpecific as well use a special reset function to set it. That probably should go in a PowerOn reset fault anyway.
2011-03-17O3: Send instruction back to fetch on squash to seed predecoder correctly.Ali Saidi
2011-03-02X86: Use the npc as the pc when doing a nativetrace, not what M5 considers ↵Gabe Black
the pc.
2011-03-02X86: Decode the mysterious and elusive ffreep x87 instruction.Gabe Black
The internet says this instruction was created by accident when an Intel CPU failed to decode x87 instructions properly. It's been documented on a few rare occasions and has generally worked to ensure backwards compatability. One source claims that the gcc toolchain is basically the only thing that emits it, and that emulators/binary translators like qemu and bochs implement it. We won't actually implement it here since we're hardly implementing any other x87 instructions either. If we were to implement it, it would behave the same as ffree but then also pop the register stack. http://www.pagetable.com/?p=16
2011-03-01Spelling: Fix the a spelling error by changing mmaped to mmapped.Gabe Black
There may not be a formally correct spelling for the past tense of mmap, but mmapped is the spelling Google doesn't try to autocorrect. This makes sense because it mirrors the past tense of map->mapped and not the past tense of cape->caped. --HG-- rename : src/arch/alpha/mmaped_ipr.hh => src/arch/alpha/mmapped_ipr.hh rename : src/arch/arm/mmaped_ipr.hh => src/arch/arm/mmapped_ipr.hh rename : src/arch/mips/mmaped_ipr.hh => src/arch/mips/mmapped_ipr.hh rename : src/arch/power/mmaped_ipr.hh => src/arch/power/mmapped_ipr.hh rename : src/arch/sparc/mmaped_ipr.hh => src/arch/sparc/mmapped_ipr.hh rename : src/arch/x86/mmaped_ipr.hh => src/arch/x86/mmapped_ipr.hh
2011-03-01X86: Mark IO reads and writes as non-speculative.Gabe Black
2011-03-01X86: Mark prefetches as such in their instruction and request flags.Gabe Black
2011-02-27X86: If PCI config space is disabled, pass through to regular IO addresses.Gabe Black
2011-02-27X86: Use regular read requests in the walker instead of read exclusive.Gabe Black
2011-02-15X86: Get rid of "inline" on the MicroPanic constructor in decoder.cc.Gabe Black
This was making certain versions of gcc omit the function from the object file which would break the build.
2011-02-13X86: Detect branches taking into account instruction size.Gabe Black
The size of the current instruction determines what the npc should be if there's no branching.
2011-02-13X86: Put the result used for flags in an intermediate variable.Gabe Black
Using the destination register directly causes the ISA parser to treat it as a source even if none of the original bits are used.
2011-02-13X86: Don't read in dest regs if all bits are replaced.Gabe Black
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.
2011-02-13X86: On a bad microopc, return a microop that returns a fault that panics.Gabe Black
This way a bad micropc will have to get all the way to commit before killing the simulation. This accounts for misspeculated branches.
2011-02-13X86: Define fault objects to carry debug messages.Gabe Black
These faults can panic/warn/warn_once, etc., instead of instructions doing that themselves directly. That way, instructions can be speculatively executed, and only if they're actually going to commit will their fault be invoked and the panic, etc., happen.
2011-02-13X86: Only reset npc to reflect instruction length once.Gabe Black
When redirecting fetch to handle branches, the npc of the current pc state needs to be left alone. This change makes the pc state record whether or not the npc already reflects a real value by making it keep track of the current instruction size, or if no size has been set.
2011-02-07X86: Obey the wp bit of CR0.Tim Harris
If cr0.wp ("write protect" bit) is clear then do not generate page faults when writing to write-protected pages in kernel mode.
2011-02-07X86: Use all 64 bits of the lstar register in the SYSCALL_64 macroop.Tim Harris
During SYSCALL_64, use dataSize=8 when handling new rip (ref http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/manual/253668.pdf 5.8.8 IA32_LSTAR is a 64-bit address)
2011-02-07X86: Fix JMP_FAR_I to unpack a far pointer correctly.Tim Harris
JMP_FAR_I was unpacking its far pointer operand using sll instead of srl like it should, and also putting the components in the wrong registers for use by other microcode.
2011-02-07X86: Read the LDT/GDT at CPL0 when executing an iret.Tim Harris
During iret access LDT/GDT at CPL0 rather than after transition to user mode (if I'm reading the Intel IA-64 architecture spec correctly, the contents of the descriptor table are read before the CPL is updated).
2011-02-07X86: Fix compiling vtophys.ccGabe Black

2011-02-06dev: fixed bugs to extend interrupt capability beyond 15 coresBrad Beckmann
2011-02-06x86: Timing support for pagetable walkerJoel Hestness
Move page table walker state to its own object type, and make the walker instantiate state for each outstanding walk. By storing the states in a queue, the walker is able to handle multiple outstanding timing requests. Note that functional walks use separate state elements.
2011-02-06x86: Add checkpointing capability to arch componentsJoel Hestness
Add checkpointing capability to the x86 interrupt device and the TLBs
2011-02-06x86: implements vtophysJoel Hestness
Calls walker to look up virt. to phys. page mapping
2011-02-06IntDev: packet latency fixJoel Hestness
The x86 local apic now includes a separate latency parameter for interrupts.
2011-02-06MessagePort: implement the virtual recvTiming function to avoid double pkt ↵Joel Hestness
delete Double packet delete problem is due to an interrupt device deleting a packet that the SimpleTimingPort also deletes. Since MessagePort descends from SimpleTimingPort, simply reimplement the failing code from SimpleTimingPort: recvTiming.
2011-02-06x86: set IsCondControl flag for the appropriate microopsBrad Beckmann

2011-01-07Replace curTick global variable with accessor functions.Steve Reinhardt
This step makes it easy to replace the accessor functions (which still access a global variable) with ones that access per-thread curTick values.
2011-01-03Make commenting on close namespace brackets consistent.Steve Reinhardt
Ran all the source files through 'perl -pi' with this script: s|\s*(};?\s*)?/\*\s*(end\s*)?namespace\s*(\S+)\s*\*/(\s*})?|} // namespace $3|; s|\s*};?\s*//\s*(end\s*)?namespace\s*(\S+)\s*|} // namespace $2\n|; s|\s*};?\s*//\s*(\S+)\s*namespace\s*|} // namespace $1\n|; Also did a little manual editing on some of the arch/*/isa_traits.hh files and src/SConscript.

2010-10-31ISA,CPU,etc: Create an ISA defined PC type that abstracts out ISA behaviors.Gabe Black
This change is a low level and pervasive reorganization of how PCs are managed in M5. Back when Alpha was the only ISA, there were only 2 PCs to worry about, the PC and the NPC, and the lsb of the PC signaled whether or not you were in PAL mode. As other ISAs were added, we had to add an NNPC, micro PC and next micropc, x86 and ARM introduced variable length instruction sets, and ARM started to keep track of mode bits in the PC. Each CPU model handled PCs in its own custom way that needed to be updated individually to handle the new dimensions of variability, or, in the case of ARMs mode-bit-in-the-pc hack, the complexity could be hidden in the ISA at the ISA implementation's expense. Areas like the branch predictor hadn't been updated to handle branch delay slots or micropcs, and it turns out that had introduced a significant (10s of percent) performance bug in SPARC and to a lesser extend MIPS. Rather than perpetuate the problem by reworking O3 again to handle the PC features needed by x86, this change was introduced to rework PC handling in a more modular, transparent, and hopefully efficient way. PC type: Rather than having the superset of all possible elements of PC state declared in each of the CPU models, each ISA defines its own PCState type which has exactly the elements it needs. A cross product of canned PCState classes are defined in the new "generic" ISA directory for ISAs with/without delay slots and microcode. These are either typedef-ed or subclassed by each ISA. To read or write this structure through a *Context, you use the new pcState() accessor which reads or writes depending on whether it has an argument. If you just want the address of the current or next instruction or the current micro PC, you can get those through read-only accessors on either the PCState type or the *Contexts. These are instAddr(), nextInstAddr(), and microPC(). Note the move away from readPC. That name is ambiguous since it's not clear whether or not it should be the actual address to fetch from, or if it should have extra bits in it like the PAL mode bit. Each class is free to define its own functions to get at whatever values it needs however it needs to to be used in ISA specific code. Eventually Alpha's PAL mode bit could be moved out of the PC and into a separate field like ARM. These types can be reset to a particular pc (where npc = pc + sizeof(MachInst), nnpc = npc + sizeof(MachInst), upc = 0, nupc = 1 as appropriate), printed, serialized, and compared. There is a branching() function which encapsulates code in the CPU models that checked if an instruction branched or not. Exactly what that means in the context of branch delay slots which can skip an instruction when not taken is ambiguous, and ideally this function and its uses can be eliminated. PCStates also generally know how to advance themselves in various ways depending on if they point at an instruction, a microop, or the last microop of a macroop. More on that later. Ideally, accessing all the PCs at once when setting them will improve performance of M5 even though more data needs to be moved around. This is because often all the PCs need to be manipulated together, and by getting them all at once you avoid multiple function calls. Also, the PCs of a particular thread will have spatial locality in the cache. Previously they were grouped by element in arrays which spread out accesses. Advancing the PC: The PCs were previously managed entirely by the CPU which had to know about PC semantics, try to figure out which dimension to increment the PC in, what to set NPC/NNPC, etc. These decisions are best left to the ISA in conjunction with the PC type itself. Because most of the information about how to increment the PC (mainly what type of instruction it refers to) is contained in the instruction object, a new advancePC virtual function was added to the StaticInst class. Subclasses provide an implementation that moves around the right element of the PC with a minimal amount of decision making. In ISAs like Alpha, the instructions always simply assign NPC to PC without having to worry about micropcs, nnpcs, etc. The added cost of a virtual function call should be outweighed by not having to figure out as much about what to do with the PCs and mucking around with the extra elements. One drawback of making the StaticInsts advance the PC is that you have to actually have one to advance the PC. This would, superficially, seem to require decoding an instruction before fetch could advance. This is, as far as I can tell, realistic. fetch would advance through memory addresses, not PCs, perhaps predicting new memory addresses using existing ones. More sophisticated decisions about control flow would be made later on, after the instruction was decoded, and handed back to fetch. If branching needs to happen, some amount of decoding needs to happen to see that it's a branch, what the target is, etc. This could get a little more complicated if that gets done by the predecoder, but I'm choosing to ignore that for now. Variable length instructions: To handle variable length instructions in x86 and ARM, the predecoder now takes in the current PC by reference to the getExtMachInst function. It can modify the PC however it needs to (by setting NPC to be the PC + instruction length, for instance). This could be improved since the CPU doesn't know if the PC was modified and always has to write it back. ISA parser: To support the new API, all PC related operand types were removed from the parser and replaced with a PCState type. There are two warts on this implementation. First, as with all the other operand types, the PCState still has to have a valid operand type even though it doesn't use it. Second, using syntax like PCS.npc(target) doesn't work for two reasons, this looks like the syntax for operand type overriding, and the parser can't figure out if you're reading or writing. Instructions that use the PCS operand (which I've consistently called it) need to first read it into a local variable, manipulate it, and then write it back out. Return address stack: The return address stack needed a little extra help because, in the presence of branch delay slots, it has to merge together elements of the return PC and the call PC. To handle that, a buildRetPC utility function was added. There are basically only two versions in all the ISAs, but it didn't seem short enough to put into the generic ISA directory. Also, the branch predictor code in O3 and InOrder were adjusted so that they always store the PC of the actual call instruction in the RAS, not the next PC. If the call instruction is a microop, the next PC refers to the next microop in the same macroop which is probably not desirable. The buildRetPC function advances the PC intelligently to the next macroop (in an ISA specific way) so that that case works. Change in stats: There were no change in stats except in MIPS and SPARC in the O3 model. MIPS runs in about 9% fewer ticks. SPARC runs with 30%-50% fewer ticks, which could likely be improved further by setting call/return instruction flags and taking advantage of the RAS. TODO: Add != operators to the PCState classes, defined trivially to be !(a==b). Smooth out places where PCs are split apart, passed around, and put back together later. I think this might happen in SPARC's fault code. Add ISA specific constructors that allow setting PC elements without calling a bunch of accessors. Try to eliminate the need for the branching() function. Factor out Alpha's PAL mode pc bit into a separate flag field, and eliminate places where it's blindly masked out or tested in the PC.
2010-10-29X86: Fault on divide by zero instead of panicing.Gabe Black
2010-10-29X86: Make syscalls also serialize after.Gabe Black
2010-10-22X86: Make nop a regular, non-microcoded instruction.Gabe Black
Code in the CPUs that need a nop to carry a fault can't easily deal with a microcoded nop. This instruction format provides for one that isn't. --HG-- rename : src/arch/x86/isa/formats/syscall.isa => src/arch/x86/isa/formats/nop.isa
2010-10-22X86: Implement genMachineCheckFault.Gabe Black
Even though this shouldn't ever be used, it might get called speculatively and shouldn't panic.
