2014-10-16arm: Add helper methods to setup architected PMU eventsAndreas Sandberg
2014-10-16arm: Add TLB PMU probesAndreas Sandberg
This changeset adds probe points that can be used to implement PMU counters for TLB stats. The following probes are supported: * ArmISA::TLB::ppRefills / TLB Refills (TLB insertions)
2014-10-16arm: Add a model of an ARM PMUv3Andreas Sandberg
This class implements a subset of the ARM PMU v3 specification as described in the ARMv8 reference manual. It supports most of the features of the PMU, however the following features are known to be missing: * Event filtering (e.g., from different privilege levels). * Access controls (the PMU currently ignores the execution level). * The chain counter (event no. 0x1E) is unimplemented. The PMU itself does not implement any events, it merely provides an interface for the configuration scripts to hook up probes that drive events. Configuration scripts should call addEventProbe() to configure custom events or high-level methods to configure architected events. The Python implementation of addEventProbe() automatically delays event type registration until after instantiation. In order to support CPU switching and some combined counters (e.g., memory references synthesized from loads and stores), the PMU allows multiple probes per event type. When creating a system that switches between CPU models that share the same PMU, PMU events for all of the CPU models can be registered with the PMU. Kudos to Matt Horsnell for the initial gem5 implementation of the PMU.
2014-06-13x86: add LongModeAddressSize function to cpuidJiuyue Ma
LongModeAddressSize was used by kernel 2.6.28.4 for physical address validation, if not properly implemented, PCI resource allocation may failed because of ioremap failed: - linux-2.6.28.4/arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:27-30 27 static inline int phys_addr_valid(unsigned long addr) 28 { 29 return addr < (1UL << boot_cpu_data.x86_phys_bits); 30 } - linux-2.6.28.4/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:475-482 475 #ifdef CONFIG_X86_64 476 if (c->extended_cpuid_level >= 0x80000008) { 477 u32 eax = cpuid_eax(0x80000008); 478 479 c->x86_virt_bits = (eax >> 8) & 0xff; 480 c->x86_phys_bits = eax & 0xff; 481 } 482 #endif - linux-2.6.28.4/arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:209-214 209 if (!phys_addr_valid(phys_addr)) { 210 printk(KERN_WARNING "ioremap: invalid physical address %llx\n", 211 (unsigned long long)phys_addr); 212 WARN_ON_ONCE(1); 213 return NULL; 214 } This patch return 0x0000ffff for LongModeAddressSize, which guarantee phys_addr_valid never failed.

2014-10-01arm: Use MiscRegIndex rather than int when flatteningAndreas Hansson
Some additional type checking to avoid future issues.
2014-10-01arm: More UBSan cleanups after additional full-system runsAndreas Hansson
Some incorrect casting to IntRegIndex, and a few uninitialized members in the i8254xGBe device.
2014-09-27arm: Fixed undefined behaviours identified by gccAndreas Hansson
This patch fixes the runtime errors highlighted by the undefined behaviour sanitizer. In the end there were two issues. First, when rotating an immediate, we ended up shifting an uint32_t by 32 in some cases. This case is fixed by checking for a rotation by 0 positions. Second, the Mrc15 and Mcr15 are operating on an IntReg and a MiscReg, but we used the type RegRegImmOp and passed a MiscRegIndex as an IntRegIndex. This issue is resolved by introducing a MiscRegRegImmOp and RegMiscRegImmOp with the appropriate types. With these fixes there are no runtime errors identified for the full ARM regressions.
2014-09-27arch: Use const StaticInstPtr references where possibleAndreas Hansson
This patch optimises the passing of StaticInstPtr by avoiding copying the reference-counting pointer. This avoids first incrementing and then decrementing the reference-counting pointer.
2014-09-27scons: Address issues related to gcc 4.9.1Andreas Hansson
Fix a number few minor issues to please gcc 4.9.1. Removing the '-fuse-linker-plugin' flag means no libraries are part of the LTO process, but hopefully this is an acceptable loss, as the flag causes issues on a lot of systems (only certain combinations of gcc, ld and ar work).
2014-09-20alpha,arm,mips,power,x86,cpu,sim: Cleanup activate/deactivateMitch Hayenga
activate(), suspend(), and halt() used on thread contexts had an optional delay parameter. However this parameter was often ignored. Also, when used, the delay was seemily arbitrarily set to 0 or 1 cycle (no other delays were ever specified). This patch removes the delay parameter and 'Events' associated with them across all ISAs and cores. Unused activate logic is also removed.
2014-09-20mem: Rename Bus to XBar to better reflect its behaviourAndreas Hansson
This patch changes the name of the Bus classes to XBar to better reflect the actual timing behaviour. The actual instances in the config scripts are not renamed, and remain as e.g. iobus or membus. As part of this renaming, the code has also been clean up slightly, making use of range-based for loops and tidying up some comments. The only changes outside the bus/crossbar code is due to the delay variables in the packet. --HG-- rename : src/mem/Bus.py => src/mem/XBar.py rename : src/mem/coherent_bus.cc => src/mem/coherent_xbar.cc rename : src/mem/coherent_bus.hh => src/mem/coherent_xbar.hh rename : src/mem/noncoherent_bus.cc => src/mem/noncoherent_xbar.cc rename : src/mem/noncoherent_bus.hh => src/mem/noncoherent_xbar.hh rename : src/mem/bus.cc => src/mem/xbar.cc rename : src/mem/bus.hh => src/mem/xbar.hh
2014-09-19arch: Pass faults by const reference where possibleAndreas Hansson
This patch changes how faults are passed between methods in an attempt to copy as few reference-counting pointer instances as possible. This should avoid unecessary copies being created, contributing to the increment/decrement of the reference counters.
2014-09-12style: Fix line continuation, especially in debug messagesAndrew Bardsley
This patch closes a number of space gaps in debug messages caused by the incorrect use of line continuation within strings. (There's also one consistency change to a similar, but correct, use of line continuation)
2014-09-03arm: Make memory ops work on 64bit/128-bit quantitiesMitch Hayenga
Multiple instructions assume only 32-bit load operations are available, this patch increases load sizes to 64-bit or 128-bit for many load pair and load multiple instructions.
2014-09-03x86: Flag instructions that call suspend as IsQuiesceMitch Hayenga
The o3 cpu relies upon instructions that suspend a thread context being flagged as "IsQuiesce". If they are not, unpredictable behavior can occur. This patch fixes that for the x86 ISA.
2014-09-03arm: Fix v8 neon latency issue for loads/storesMitch Hayenga
Neon memory ops that operate on multiple registers currently have very poor performance because of interleave/deinterleave micro-ops. This patch marks the deinterleave/interleave micro-ops as "No_OpClass" such that they take minumum cycles to execute and are never resource constrained. Additionaly the micro-ops over-read registers. Although one form may need to read up to 20 sources, not all do. This adds in new forms so false dependencies are not modeled. Instructions read their minimum number of sources.
2014-04-29arm: use condition code registers for ARM ISACurtis Dunham
Analogous to ee049bf (for x86). Requires a bump of the checkpoint version and corresponding upgrader code to move the condition code register values to the new register file.
2014-09-03arm: ISA X31 destination register fixAndrew Bardsley
This patch substituted the zero register for X31 used as a destination register. This prevents false dependencies based on X31.
2014-09-03arm: Mark v7 cbz instructions as direct branchesMitch Hayenga
v7 cbz/cbnz instructions were improperly marked as indirect branches.
2014-09-03arch: Properly guess OpClass from optional StaticInst flagsMitch Hayenga
isa_parser.py guesses the OpClass if none were given based upon the StaticInst flags. The existing code does not take into account optionally set flags. This code hoists the setting of optional flags so OpClass is properly assigned.
2014-05-27arm: support 16kb vm granulesCurtis Dunham
2014-09-03arch, cpu: Factor out the ExecContext into a proper base classAndreas Sandberg
We currently generate and compile one version of the ISA code per CPU model. This is obviously wasting a lot of resources at compile time. This changeset factors out the interface into a separate ExecContext class, which also serves as documentation for the interface between CPUs and the ISA code. While doing so, this changeset also fixes up interface inconsistencies between the different CPU models. The main argument for using one set of ISA code per CPU model has always been performance as this avoid indirect branches in the generated code. However, this argument does not hold water. Booting Linux on a simulated ARM system running in atomic mode (opt/10.linux-boot/realview-simple-atomic) is actually 2% faster (compiled using clang 3.4) after applying this patch. Additionally, compilation time is decreased by 35%.
2014-09-03arch: Cleanup unused ISA traits constantsAndreas Hansson
This patch prunes unused values, and also unifies how the values are defined (not using an enum for ALPHA), aligning the use of int vs Addr etc. The patch also removes the duplication of PageBytes/PageShift and VMPageSize/LogVMPageSize. For all ISAs the two pairs had identical values and the latter has been removed.
2014-09-03config: Change parsing of Addr so hex values work from scriptsMitch Hayenga
When passed from a configuration script with a hexadecimal value (like "0x80000000"), gem5 would error out. This is because it would call "toMemorySize" which requires the argument to end with a size specifier (like 1MB, etc). This modification makes it so raw hex values can be passed through Addr parameters from the configuration scripts.
2014-09-03arm: Fix ExtMachInst hash operator underlying typeAndreas Hansson
This patch fixes the hash operator used for ARM ExtMachInst, which incorrectly was still using uint32_t. Instead of changing it to uint64_t it is not using the underlying data type of the BitUnion.
2014-09-01x86: set op class of two fp instructionsNilay Vaish
This patch sets op class of two fp instructions: movfp and pop x87 stack as IntAluOp since these instructions do not make use of the fp alu.
2014-08-28mem: adding architectural page table support for SE modeAlexandru
This patch enables the use of page tables that are stored in system memory and respect x86 specification, in SE mode. It defines an architectural page table for x86 as a MultiLevelPageTable class and puts a placeholder class for other ISAs page tables, giving the possibility for future implementation.
2014-08-26base: Replace the internal varargs stuff with C++11 constructsAndreas Sandberg
We currently use our own home-baked support for type-safe variadic functions. This is confusing and somewhat limited (e.g., cprintf only supports a limited number of arguments). This changeset converts all uses of our internal varargs support to use C++11 variadic macros.
2014-08-26mips: Fix RLIMIT_RSS namingMitch Hayenga
MIPS defined RLIMIT_RSS in a way that could cause a naming conflict with RLIMIT_RSS from the host system. Broke clang+MacOS build.
2014-08-26sparc: Fixup bit ordering in the PSTATE bit unionAndreas Sandberg
The order of the MSB and LSB bit of the mm field in the PSTATE union is wrong. Any access to this field will currently be ignored and reads will always return zero. This patch fixes the ordering so it is <MSB, LSB> instead of <LSB, MSB>.
2014-08-13arm: change MISCREG_L2ERRSR to warn not failDam Sunwoo
Some newer binaries compiled for Versatile Express TC2 contain access to implementation specific L2MERRSR registers. This causes an infinite loop of undefined exceptions. This patch changes the behavior to "warn not fail" to keep the workloads going.
2014-08-13mips: Remove unused private members to fix compile-time warningAndreas Sandberg
Certain versions of clang complain about unused private members if they are not used. This changeset removes such members from the MIPS-specific classes to silence the warning.
2014-08-13power: Remove unused private members to fix compile-time warningAndreas Sandberg
Certain versions of clang complain about unused private members if they are not used. This changeset removes such members from the POWER-specific ProcessInfo struct to silence the warning.
2014-03-11arm: remove dead code fplib mul64x64Curtis Dunham
2014-06-30power: Add basic DVFS support for gem5Stephan Diestelhorst
Adds DVFS capabilities to gem5, by allowing users to specify lists for frequencies and voltages in SrcClockDomains and VoltageDomains respectively. A separate component, DVFSHandler, provides a small interface to change operating points of the associated domains. Clock domains will be linked to voltage domains and thus allow separate clock, but shared voltage lines. Currently all the valid performance-level updates are performed with a fixed transition latency as specified for the domain. Config file example: ... vd = VoltageDomain(voltage = ['1V','0.95V','0.90V','0.85V']) tsys.cluster1.clk_domain.clock = ['1GHz','700MHz','400MHz','230MHz'] tsys.cluster2.clk_domain.clock = ['1GHz','700MHz','400MHz','230MHz'] tsys.cluster1.clk_domain.domain_id = 0 tsys.cluster2.clk_domain.domain_id = 1 tsys.cluster1.clk_domain.voltage_domain = vd tsys.cluster2.clk_domain.voltage_domain = vd tsys.dvfs_handler.domains = [tsys.cluster1.clk_domain, tsys.cluster2.clk_domain] tsys.dvfs_handler.enable = True
2014-06-21x86: fix table walker assertionBinh Pham
In a cycle, we could see a R and W requests corresponding to the same page walk being sent to the memory. During the cycle that assertion happens, we have 2 responses corresponding to the R and W above. We also have a 'read' variable to keep track of the inflight Read request, this gets reset to NULL right after we send out any R request; and gets set to the next R in the page walk when a response comes back. The issue we are seeing here is when we get a response for W request, assert(!read) fires because we got a response for R request right before this, hence we set 'read' to NOT NULL value, pointing to the next R request in the pagewalk! This work was done while Binh was an intern at AMD Research.
2014-05-31style: eliminate equality tests with true and falseSteve Reinhardt
Using '== true' in a boolean expression is totally redundant, and using '== false' is pretty verbose (and arguably less readable in most cases) compared to '!'. It's somewhat of a pet peeve, perhaps, but I had some time waiting for some tests to run and decided to clean these up. Unfortunately, SLICC appears not to have the '!' operator, so I had to leave the '== false' tests in the SLICC code.

2014-05-09cpu: Add flag name printing to StaticInstAndrew Bardsley
This patch adds a the member function StaticInst::printFlags to allow all of an instruction's flags to be printed without using the individual is... member functions or resorting to exposing the 'flags' vector It also replaces the enum definition StaticInst::Flags with a Python-generated enumeration and adds to the enum generation mechanism in src/python/m5/params.py to allow Enums to be placed in namespaces other than Enums or, alternatively, in wrapper structs allowing them to be inherited by other classes (so populating that class's name-space with the enumeration element names).
2014-05-09arm: Add branch flags onto macroopsAndrew Bardsley
Mark branch flags onto macroops to allow branch prediction before microop decomposition
2014-05-09arm: add preliminary ISA splits for ARM archCurtis Dunham
2014-05-09arch: teach ISA parser how to split code across filesCurtis Dunham
This patch encompasses several interrelated and interdependent changes to the ISA generation step. The end goal is to reduce the size of the generated compilation units for instruction execution and decoding so that batch compilation can proceed with all CPUs active without exhausting physical memory. The ISA parser (src/arch/isa_parser.py) has been improved so that it can accept 'split [output_type];' directives at the top level of the grammar and 'split(output_type)' python calls within 'exec {{ ... }}' blocks. This has the effect of "splitting" the files into smaller compilation units. I use air-quotes around "splitting" because the files themselves are not split, but preprocessing directives are inserted to have the same effect. Architecturally, the ISA parser has had some changes in how it works. In general, it emits code sooner. It doesn't generate per-CPU files, and instead defers to the C preprocessor to create the duplicate copies for each CPU type. Likewise there are more files emitted and the C preprocessor does more substitution that used to be done by the ISA parser. Finally, the build system (SCons) needs to be able to cope with a dynamic list of source files coming out of the ISA parser. The changes to the SCons{cript,truct} files support this. In broad strokes, the targets requested on the command line are hidden from SCons until all the build dependencies are determined, otherwise it would try, realize it can't reach the goal, and terminate in failure. Since build steps (i.e. running the ISA parser) must be taken to determine the file list, several new build stages have been inserted at the very start of the build. First, the build dependencies from the ISA parser will be emitted to arch/$ISA/generated/inc.d, which is then read by a new SCons builder to finalize the dependencies. (Once inc.d exists, the ISA parser will not need to be run to complete this step.) Once the dependencies are known, the 'Environments' are made by the makeEnv() function. This function used to be called before the build began but now happens during the build. It is easy to see that this step is quite slow; this is a known issue and it's important to realize that it was already slow, but there was no obvious cause to attribute it to since nothing was displayed to the terminal. Since new steps that used to be performed serially are now in a potentially-parallel build phase, the pathname handling in the SCons scripts has been tightened up to deal with chdir() race conditions. In general, pathnames are computed earlier and more likely to be stored, passed around, and processed as absolute paths rather than relative paths. In the end, some of these issues had to be fixed by inserting serializing dependencies in the build. Minor note: For the null ISA, we just provide a dummy inc.d so SCons is never compelled to try to generate it. While it seems slightly wrong to have anything in src/arch/*/generated (i.e. a non-generated 'generated' file), it's by far the simplest solution.
2014-05-09arch, arm: Preserve TLB bootUncacheability when switching CPUsGeoffrey Blake
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.
2014-05-09cpu, arm: Allow the specification of a socket fieldAkash Bagdia
Allow the specification of a socket ID for every core that is reflected in the MPIDR field in ARM systems. This allows studying multi-socket / cluster systems with ARM CPUs.
2014-05-09arm: Panics in miscreg read functions can be tripped by O3 modelGeoffrey Blake
Unimplemented miscregs for the generic timer were guarded by panics in arm/isa.cc which can be tripped by the O3 model if it speculatively executes a wrong path containing a mrs instruction with a bad miscreg index. These registers were flagged as implemented and accessible. This patch changes the miscreg info bit vector to flag them as unimplemented and inaccessible. In this case, and UndefinedInst fault will be generated if the register access is not trapped by a hypervisor.
2014-05-09arch: remove inline specifiers on all inst constrs, all ISAsCurtis Dunham
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.
2014-05-09arm: cleanup ARM ISA definitionCurtis Dunham
