These functions aren't called anywhere and are probably only theoretically
useful.

Get rid of Fault classes left over from when this file was copied from Alpha,
and rename ArithmeticOverflowFault to be IntegerOverflowFault and get rid of
the old IntegerOverflowFault stub. The Integer version is what's actually in
the manual, but the Arithmetic version had the implementation.

CRTP stands for the curiously recurring template pattern.

Make sure it's declared iff it's also defined.

The remaining ones are more complicated and may require adjustments in other
parts of the simulator.

The decoder now checks the value of FULL_SYSTEM in a switch statement to
decide whether to return a real syscall instruction or one that triggers
syscall emulation (or a panic in FS mode). The switch statement should devolve
into an if, and also should be optimized out since it's based on constant
input.

Previously, coprocessor accesses to CP15 c15 would fault. This patch
enables accesses but prints out a warning, as the registers are not implemented.

Only create a memory ordering violation when the value could have changed
between two subsequent loads, instead of just when loads go out-of-order
to the same address. While not very common in the case of Alpha, with
an architecture with a hardware table walker this can happen reasonably
frequently beacuse a translation will miss and start a table walk and
before the CPU re-schedules the faulting instruction another one will
pass it to the same address (or cache block depending on the dendency
checking).
This patch has been tested with a couple of self-checking hand crafted
programs to stress ordering between two cores.
The performance improvement on SPEC benchmarks can be substantial (2-10%).

So a mips-cross-gdb can connect with gem5(MIPS_SE), and do some remote
debugging.
Testing:
Build gem5 for MIPS_SE and make gem5 wait at beginning:
modify "rgdb_wait = -1" to "rgdb_wait = 0" in src/sim/system.cc;
scons build/MIPS_SE/gem5.opt CPU_MODELS=O3CPU
----
Build GDB-7.3 mips-cross:
./configure --target=mips-linux-gnu --prefix=xxx/gdb-7.3-install/
make
make install
----
Run:
./build/MIPS_SE/gem5.opt configs/example/se.py --detailed --caches
./mips-linux-gnu-gdb xxx/gem5/tests/test-progs/hello/bin/mips/linux/hello
(gdb) target remote :7000
(gdb) info registers
(gdb) disassemble
(gdb) si
(gdb) break main
(gdb) c
(gdb) quit
Testing done.

Having two StaticInst classes, one nominally ISA dependent and the other ISA
dependent, has not been historically useful and makes the StaticInst class
more complicated that it needs to be. This change merges StaticInstBase into
StaticInst.
|
|
This change pulls the instruction decoding machinery (including caches) out of
the StaticInst class and puts it into its own class. This has a few intrinsic
benefits. First, the StaticInst code, which has gotten to be quite large, gets
simpler. Second, the code that handles decode caching is now separated out
into its own component and can be looked at in isolation, making it easier to
understand. I took the opportunity to restructure the code a bit which will
hopefully also help.
Beyond that, this change also lays some ground work for each ISA to have its
own, potentially stateful decode object. We'd be able to include less
contextualizing information in the ExtMachInst objects since that context
would be applied at the decoder. Also, the decoder could "know" ahead of time
that all the instructions it's going to see are going to be, for instance, 64
bit mode, and it will have one less thing to check when it decodes them.
Because the decode caching mechanism has been separated out, it's now possible
to have multiple caches which correspond to different types of decoding
context. Having one cache for each element of the cross product of different
configurations may become prohibitive, so it may be desirable to clear out the
cache when relatively static state changes and not to have one for each
setting.
Because the decode function is no longer universally accessible as a static
member of the StaticInst class, a new function was added to the ThreadContexts
that returns the applicable decode object.

Do some minor cleanup of some recently added comments, a warning, and change
other instances of stack extension to be like what's now being done for x86.
|
|
|
|
Comments should not be scanned for operands, and we should look for both /* */
style and // style.
|
|
The way flag bits were being set for microops in x86 ended up implicitly
calling the bitset constructor which was truncating flags beyond the width of
an unsigned long. This change sets the bits in chunks which are always small
enough to avoid being truncated. On 64 bit machines this should reduce to be
the same as before, and on 32 bit machines it should work properly and not be
unreasonably inefficient.
|
|
When an instruction is translated in the x86 TLB, a variable called
delayedResponse is passed back and forth which tracks whether a translation
could be completed immediately, or if there's going to be callback that will
finish things up. If a read was to the internal memory space, memory mapped
registers used to implement things like MSRs, the function hadn't yet gotten
to where delayedResponse was set to false, it's default. That meant that the
value was never set, and the TLB could start waiting for a callback that would
never come. This change simply moves the assignment to above where control
can divert to translateInt().

Nothing big here, but when you have an address that is not in the page table request to be allocated, if it falls outside of the maximum stack range all you get is a page fault and you don't know why. Add a little warn() to explain it a bit. Also add some comments and alter logic a little so that you don't totally ignore the return value of checkAndAllocNextPage().

There are a set of locations is the linux kernel that are managed via
cache maintence instructions until all processors enable their MMUs & TLBs.
Writes to these locations are manually flushed from the cache to main
memory when the occur so that cores operating without their MMU enabled
and only issuing uncached accesses can receive the correct data. Unfortuantely,
gem5 doesn't support any kind of software directed maintence of the cache.
Until such time as that support exists this patch marks the specific cache blocks
that need to be coherent as non-cacheable until all CPUs enable their MMU and
thus allows gem5 to boot MP systems with caches enabled (a requirement for
booting an O3 cpu and thus an O3 CPU regression).

SEV instructions were originally implemented to cause asynchronous squashes
via the generateTCSquash() function in the O3 pipeline when updating the
SEV_MAILBOX miscReg. This caused race conditions between CPUs in an MP system
that would lead to a pipeline either going inactive indefinitely or not being
able to commit squashed instructions. Fixed SEV instructions to behave like
interrupts and cause synchronous sqaushes inside the pipeline, eliminating
the race conditions. Also fixed up the semantics of the WFE instruction to
behave as documented in the ARMv7 ISA description to not sleep if SEV_MAILBOX=1
or unmasked interrupts are pending.

Control register operands are set up so that writing to them is serialize
after, serialize before, and non-speculative. These are probably overboard,
but they should usually be safe. Unfortunately there are times when even these
aren't enough. If an instruction modifies state that affects fetch, later
serialized instructions which come after it might have already gone through
fetch and decode by the time it commits. These instructions may have been
translated incorrectly or interpretted incorrectly and need to be destroyed.
This change modifies instructions which will or may have this behavior so that
they use the IsSquashAfter flag when necessary.

SWP and SWPB now throw an undefined instruction exception if
SCTLR.SW == 0. This also required the MIDR to be changed
slightly so programs can correctly determine that gem5 supports
the ARM v7 behavior of SWP/SWPB (in ARM v6, SWP/SWPB were
deprecated, but not disabled at CPU startup).
|
|
Adds MISCREG_ID_MMFR2 and removes break on access to MISCREG_CLIDR. Both
registers now return values that are consistent with current ARM
implementations.
|
|
This patch implements the copyRegs() function for the x86 architecture.
The patch assumes that no side effects other than TLB invalidation need
to be considered while copying the registers. This may not hold true in
future.

change hwrei back to being a non-control instruction so O3-FS mode will work
add squash in inorder that will catch a hwrei (or any other genric instruction)
that isnt a control inst but changes the PC. Additional testing still needs to be done
for inorder-FS mode but this change will free O3 development back up in the interim
|

This makes it possible to use the grammar multiple times and use the multiple
instances concurrently. This makes implementing an include statement as part
of a grammar possible.

This change simplifies the code surrounding operand type handling and makes it
depend only on the ctype that goes with each operand type. Future changes will
allow defining operand types by their ctypes directly, convert the ISAs over
to that style of definition, and then remove support for the old style. These
changes are to make it easier to use non-builtin types like classes or
structures as the type for operands.

readBytes and writeBytes had the word "bytes" in their names because they
accessed blobs of bytes. This distinguished them from the read and write
functions which handled higher level data types. Because those functions don't
exist any more, this change renames readBytes and writeBytes to more general
names, readMem and writeMem, which reflect the fact that they are how you read
and write memory. This also makes their names more consistent with the
register reading/writing functions, although those are still read and set for
some reason.

If a fault was returned by the CPU when a store initiated it's write, the
store instruction would ignore the fault. This change fixes that.

The patch corrects the print statement which prints the current and
the next pc. Instead of the next upc, the next pc was being printed.

the -/+ signs were flipped for nmsub_s, nmsub_d, and nmadd_d

The DTB expects the correct PC in the ThreadContext
but how if the memory accesses are speculative? Shouldn't
we send along the requestor's PC to the translate functions?
