2012-01-17	MEM: Separate queries for snooping and address ranges	Andreas Hansson
	This patch simplifies the address-range determination mechanism and also unifies the naming across ports and devices. It further splits the queries for determining if a port is snooping and what address ranges it responds to (aiming towards a separation of cache-maintenance ports and pure memory-mapped ports). Default behaviours are such that most ports do not have to define isSnooping, and master ports need not implement getAddrRanges.
2012-01-17	MEM: Add port proxies instead of non-structural ports	Andreas Hansson
	Port proxies are used to replace non-structural ports, and thus enable all ports in the system to correspond to a structural entity. This has the advantage of accessing memory through the normal memory subsystem and thus allowing any constellation of distributed memories, address maps, etc. Most accesses are done through the "system port" that is used for loading binaries, debugging etc. For the entities that belong to the CPU, e.g. threads and thread contexts, they wrap the CPU data port in a port proxy. The following replacements are made: FunctionalPort > PortProxy TranslatingPort > SETranslatingPortProxy VirtualPort > FSTranslatingPortProxy --HG-- rename : src/mem/vport.cc => src/mem/fs_translating_port_proxy.cc rename : src/mem/vport.hh => src/mem/fs_translating_port_proxy.hh rename : src/mem/translating_port.cc => src/mem/se_translating_port_proxy.cc rename : src/mem/translating_port.hh => src/mem/se_translating_port_proxy.hh
2012-01-16	Alpha: warn_once about broken PAL breakpoints.	Steve Reinhardt
	A recent changeset (aae12ce9f34c) removed support for PAL-mode breakpoints in Alpha, since it was awkward and likely unused. This patch lets a user know if they potentially run into this limitation.

2012-01-05	X86 TLB: Move a DPRINTF to its correct place	Nilay Vaish
	The DPRINTF for doing protection checks appears after the checks have been carried out. It is possible that the function returns while the checks are being carried, in which case the printf is missed out. This patch moves the DPRINTF before the checks. --HG-- extra : rebase_source : 172896057e593022444d882ea93323a5d9f77a89

	Adds the flag 'recvSnoops' which enables pagewalkers using DmaPorts, to properly configure snoops. --HG-- extra : rebase_source : 64207bef62c3268ddff2236ee4adae873812325f
2011-12-01	ARM: Add IsSerializeAfter and IsNonSpeculative flag to the syscall instruction .	Ali Saidi
	Squashes the subsequent instructions in O3 pipe after the service call, so that they see the effect of the system call when re-executed. This isn't really an issue with FS mode, but can show up in SE mode. --HG-- extra : rebase_source : 613a69fe1d9834261e25a8cd340aa6b47578e1fe

2011-11-03	x86: Add microop for fence	Nilay Vaish
	This patch adds a new microop for memory barrier. The microop itself does nothing, but since it is marked as a memory barrier, the O3 CPU should flush all the pending loads and stores before the fence to the memory system.
2011-10-31	GCC: Get everything working with gcc 4.6.1.	Gabe Black
	And by "everything" I mean all the quick regressions.
2011-10-22	SE: move page allocation from PageTable to Process	Steve Reinhardt
	PageTable supported an allocate() call that called back through the Process to allocate memory, but did not have a method to map addresses without allocating new pages. It makes more sense for Process to do the allocation, so this method was renamed allocateMem() and moved to Process, and uses a new map() call on PageTable. The remaining uses of the process pointer in PageTable were only to get the name and the PID, so by passing these in directly in the constructor, we can make PageTable completely independent of Process.

2011-09-27	Faults: Replace calls to genMachineCheckFault with M5PanicFault.	Gabe Black

2011-09-27	Faults: Add in generic faults that work like panics, warns, etc.	Gabe Black
	These faults take varargs to their constructors which they print into a string and pass to the M5DebugFault base class. They are basically faults wrapped around panics, faults, warns, and warnonce-es so that they happen only at commit.
2011-09-26	ISA parser: Use '_' instead of '.' to delimit type modifiers on operands.	Gabe Black
	By using an underscore, the "." is still available and can unambiguously be used to refer to members of a structure if an operand is a structure, class, etc. This change mostly just replaces the appropriate "."s with "_"s, but there were also a few places where the ISA descriptions where handling the extensions themselves and had their own regular expressions to update. The regular expressions in the isa parser were updated as well. It also now looks for one of the defined type extensions specifically after connecting "_" where before it would look for any sequence of characters after a "." following an operand name and try to use it as the extension. This helps to disambiguate cases where a "_" may legitimately be part of an operand name but not separate the name from the type suffix. Because leaving the "_" and suffix on the variable name still leaves a valid C++ identifier and all extensions need to be consistent in a given context, I considered leaving them on as a breadcrumb that would show what the intended type was for that operand. Unfortunately the operands can be referred to in code templates, the Mem operand in particular, and since the exact type of Mem can be different for different uses of the same template, that broke things.
2011-09-24	SCons: Add a comment I forgot to add in earlier.	Gabe Black
	This comment was supposed to be added to an earlier change as part of review feedback, but I accidentally left it out when I pushed. Add it in now.
2011-09-24	SCons: Make the ISA parser a source for its output files like the comments say.	Gabe Black
	There was a change a while ago that refactored some scons stuff which got rid of cpu_models.py but also accidentally got rid of the ISA parser as a source for its target files. That meant that changes which affected the parser wouldn't cause a rebuild unless they also changed one of the description files. This change fixes that.
2011-09-23	X86: Move the MSR lookup table out of the TLB and into its own file.	Gabe Black
	Translating MSR addresses into MSR register indices took a lot of space in the TLB source and made looking around in that file awkward. This change moves the lookup into its own file to get it out of the way. It also changes it from a switch statement to a hash map which should hopefully be a little more efficient.
2011-09-19	MIPS: Final overhaul of MIPS faults to kill #if FULL_SYSTEM	Gabe Black
	This change is a significant reorganization of the MIPS fault code that gets rid of duplication, fixes some bugs, doubtlessly introduces others, and adds names for the exception code constants.
2011-09-19	MIPS, faults: Update how the PC is set.	Gabe Black

2011-09-19	MIPS: Get rid of skipFaultInstruction and setRestartAddress.	Gabe Black
	Neither of these functions were used.
2011-09-19	MIPS: Use inheritance to consolidate class definitions.	Gabe Black

2011-09-19	MIPS: Always compile in setExceptionState, including in SE mode.	Gabe Black
	Also fix the newly exposed and preexisting compile errors. This code hasn't been exposed in a while, and it's not up to date with the rest of gem5.
2011-09-19	MIPS: Consolidate TLB related faults.	Gabe Black
	Pass in a bool to indicate if the fault is from a store instead of having two different classes. The classes were also misleadingly named since loads are also processed by the DTB but should return ITB faults since they aren't stores. The TLB may be returning the wrong fault in this case, but I haven't looked at it closely.
2011-09-19	MIPS: Get rid of the unused "count" field in FaultVals.	Gabe Black

2011-09-19	MIPS: Move the genMachineCheckFault function near MachineCheckFault.	Gabe Black
	Since they're so closely linked, they should be next to each other in the file.
2011-09-19	MIPS: Consolidate the two AddressErrorFault variants.	Gabe Black

2011-09-19	Faults: Get rid of the unused isAlignmentFault and isMachineCheckFault.	Gabe Black
	These functions aren't called anywhere and are probably only theoretically useful.
2011-09-19	MIPS: Get rid of cruft in the fault classes.	Gabe Black
	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.
2011-09-19	MIPS: Add constructors to the fault classes.	Gabe Black

2011-09-19	MIPS: Use the CRTP to streamline the Fault class definitions.	Gabe Black
	CRTP stands for the curiously recurring template pattern.
2011-09-19	SPARC: Remove #if FULL_SYSTEMs from the ISA description.	Gabe Black

2011-09-19	MIPS: Get rid of #if style config checks in the ISA description.	Gabe Black

2011-09-19	MIPS: Guard SystemCallFault::invoke consistently.	Gabe Black
	Make sure it's declared iff it's also defined.
2011-09-19	MIPS: Get rid of the unused (and partially defined) CacheError fault.	Gabe Black

2011-09-19	Alpha: Get rid of some #if FULL_SYSTEMs in the Alpha ISA description.	Gabe Black
	The remaining ones are more complicated and may require adjustments in other parts of the simulator.
2011-09-19	X86: Don't use "#if FULL_SYSTEM" in the X86 ISA description.	Gabe Black
	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.
2011-09-19	PseudoInst: Remove the now unnecessary #if FULL_SYSTEMs around pseudoinsts.	Gabe Black

2011-09-18	Pseudoinst: Add an initParam pseudo inst function.	Gabe Black

2011-09-13	CP15 c15: enable execution with accesses to c15 registers	Chander Sudanthi
	Previously, coprocessor accesses to CP15 c15 would fault. This patch enables accesses but prints out a warning, as the registers are not implemented.
