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.

A copyRegs() function is added to MIPS utilities
to copy architectural state from the old CPU to
the new CPU during fast-forwarding. This
addition alone enables fast-forwarding for the
o3 cpu model running MIPS.
The patch also adds takeOverFrom() and
drainResume() functions to the InOrderCPU to
enable it to take over from another CPU. This
change enables fast-forwarding for the inorder
cpu model running MIPS, but not for Alpha.

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.

Note: AArch64 and AArch32 interworking is not supported. If you use an AArch64
kernel you are restricted to AArch64 user-mode binaries. This will be addressed
in a later patch.
Note: Virtualization is only supported in AArch32 mode. This will also be fixed
in a later patch.

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.

snooped.
This patch add support for generating wake-up events in the CPU when an address
that is currently in the exclusive state is hit by a snoop. This mechanism is required
for ARMv8 multi-processor support.

Previously we were casting the result type to the the memory type which
is incorrect for things like dual-memory operations which still return a
single result.

This patch enables tracking of cache occupancy per thread along with
ages (in buckets) per cache blocks. Cache occupancy stats are
recalculated on each stat dump.

This patch fixes a memory leak in the table walker, by ensuring that
the sender state is deleted again if the request packet cannot be
successfully sent.

In mips architecture, floating point convert instructions use the
FloatConvertOp format defined in src/arch/mips/isa/formats/fp.isa. The type
of the operands in the ISA description file (_sw for signed word, or _sf for
signed float, etc.) is used to create a type for the operand in C++. Then the
operand is converted using the fpConvert() function in src/arch/mips/utility.cc.
If we are converting from a word to a float, and we want to convert 0xffffffff,
we expect -1 to be passed into fpConvert(). Instead, we see MAX_INT passed in.
Then fpConvert() converts _val_ to MAX_INT in single-precision floating point,
and we get the wrong value.
To fix it, the signs of the convert operands are being changed from unsigned to
signed in the MIPS ISA description.
Then, the FloatConvertOp format is being changed to insert a int32_t into the
C++ code instead of a uint32_t.

Thumb2 ARM kernels may access the TEEHBR via thumbee_notifier
in arch/arm/kernel/thumbee.c. The Linux kernel code just seems
to be saving and restoring the register. This patch adds support
for the TEEHBR cp14 register. Note, this may be a special case
when restoring from an image that was run on a system that
supports ThumbEE.

This patch adds a flag in the request class that indicates if the request
was made in privileged mode.

Convert condition code registers from being specialized
("pseudo") integer registers to using the recently
added CC register class.
Nilay Vaish also contributed to this patch.
|
|
Add a third register class for condition codes,
in parallel with the integer and FP classes.
No ISAs use the CC class at this point though.
|

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
classes is hardcoded all over to one where there's an
enum for the register classes and a function that
encapsulates the mapping.

ASI_BITS in the Request object were originally used to store a memory
request's ASI on SPARC. This is not the case any more since other ISAs
use the ASI bits to store architecture-dependent information. This
changeset renames the ASI_BITS to ARCH_BITS which better describes
their use. Additionally, the getAsi() accessor is renamed to
getArchFlags().
|
|
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 makes it possible to once again build gem5 without any
ISA. The main purpose is to enable work around the interconnect and
memory system without having to build any CPU models or device models.
The regress script is updated to include the NULL ISA target. Currently
no regressions make use of it, but all the testers could (and perhaps
should) transition to it.

This patch moves the system virtual port proxy to the Alpha system
only to make the resurrection of the NOISA slightly less
painful. Alpha is the only ISA that is actually using it.

This patch adds a check to the quiesce operation to ensure that the
CPU does not suspend itself when there are unmasked interrupts
pending. Without this patch there are corner cases when the CPU gets
an interrupt before the quiesce is executed and then never wakes up
again.

This patch adds checkpointing support to x86 tlb. It upgrades the
cpt_upgrader.py script so that previously created checkpoints can
be updated. It moves the checkpoint version to 6.
|

This patch removes the notion of a peer block size and instead sets
the cache line size on the system level.
Previously the size was set per cache, and communicated through the
interconnect. There were plenty checks to ensure that everyone had the
same size specified, and these checks are now removed. Another benefit
that is not yet harnessed is that the cache line size is now known at
construction time, rather than after the port binding. Hence, the
block size can be locally stored and does not have to be queried every
time it is used.
A follow-on patch updates the configuration scripts accordingly.

to the BasicPioDevice pioSize field, require them to pass
a size value in to the constructor.

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.

This patch adds the notion of source- and derived-clock domains to the
ClockedObjects. As such, all clock information is moved to the clock
domain, and the ClockedObjects are grouped into domains.
The clock domains are either source domains, with a specific clock
period, or derived domains that have a parent domain and a divider
(potentially chained). For piece of logic that runs at a derived clock
(a ratio of the clock its parent is running at) the necessary derived
clock domain is created from its corresponding parent clock
domain. For now, the derived clock domain only supports a divider,
thus ensuring a lower speed compared to its parent. Multiplier
functionality implies a PLL logic that has not been modelled yet
(create a separate clock instead).
The clock domains should be used as a mechanism to provide a
controllable clock source that affects clock for every clocked object
lying beneath it. The clock of the domain can (in a future patch) be
controlled by a handler responsible for dynamic frequency scaling of
the respective clock domains.
All the config scripts have been retro-fitted with clock domains. For
the System a default SrcClockDomain is created. For CPUs that run at a
different speed than the system, there is a seperate clock domain
created. This domain incorporates the CPU and the associated
caches. As before, Ruby runs under its own clock domain.
The clock period of all domains are pre-computed, such that no virtual
functions or multiplications are needed when calling
clockPeriod. Instead, the clock period is pre-computed when any
changes occur. For this to be possible, each clock domain tracks its
children.
