2012-11-02sim: Include object header files in SWIG interfacesAndreas Sandberg
When casting objects in the generated SWIG interfaces, SWIG uses classical C-style casts ( (Foo *)bar; ). In some cases, this can degenerate into the equivalent of a reinterpret_cast (mainly if only a forward declaration of the type is available). This usually works for most compilers, but it is known to break if multiple inheritance is used anywhere in the object hierarchy. This patch introduces the cxx_header attribute to Python SimObject definitions, which should be used to specify a header to include in the SWIG interface. The header should include the declaration of the wrapped object. We currently don't enforce header the use of the header attribute, but a warning will be generated for objects that do not use it.
2012-11-02mips: Remove unused Python fileAndreas Sandberg
Remove BISystem.py, BareIronMipsSystem is already implemented in MipsSystem.py.
2012-11-02ARM: dump stats and process info on context switchesDam Sunwoo
This patch enables dumping statistics and Linux process information on context switch boundaries (__switch_to() calls) that are used for Streamline integration (a graphical statistics viewer from ARM).
2012-11-02ISA: generic Linux thread info supportDam Sunwoo
This patch takes the Linux thread info support scattered across different ISA implementations (currently in ARM, ALPHA, and MIPS), and unifies them into a single file. Adds a few more helper functions to read out TGID, mm, etc. ISA-specific information (e.g., ALPHA PCBB register) is now moved to the corresponding isa_traits.hh files.
2012-10-25arm: Use table walker clock that is inherited from CPUAndreas Hansson
This patch simplifies the scheduling of the next walk for the ARM table walker. Previously it used the CPU clock, but as the table walker inherits the clock from the CPU, it is cleaner to simply use its own clock (which is the same).
2012-10-15Port: Add protocol-agnostic ports in the port hierarchyAndreas Hansson
This patch adds an additional level of ports in the inheritance hierarchy, separating out the protocol-specific and protocl-agnostic parts. All the functionality related to the binding of ports is now confined to use BaseMaster/BaseSlavePorts, and all the protocol-specific parts stay in the Master/SlavePort. In the future it will be possible to add other protocol-specific implementations. The functions used in the binding of ports, i.e. getMaster/SlavePort now use the base classes, and the index parameter is updated to use the PortID typedef with the symbolic InvalidPortID as the default.
2012-10-15Checkpoint: Make system serialize call childrenAndreas Hansson
This patch changes how the serialization of the system works. The base class had a non-virtual serialize and unserialize, that was hidden by a function with the same name for a number of subclasses (most likely not intentional as the base class should have been virtual). A few of the derived systems had no specialization at all (e.g. Power and x86 that simply called the System::serialize), but MIPS and Alpha adds additional symbol table entries to the checkpoint. Instead of overriding the virtual function, the additional entries are now printed through a virtual function (un)serializeSymtab. The reason for not calling System::serialize from the two related systems is that a follow up patch will require the system to also serialize the PhysicalMemory, and if this is done in the base class if ends up being between the general parts and the specialized symbol table. With this patch, the checkpoint is not modified, as the order of the segments is unchanged.
2012-10-15Fix: Address a few minor issues identified by cppcheckAndreas Hansson
This patch addresses a number of smaller issues identified by the code inspection utility cppcheck. There are a number of identified leaks in the arm/linux/system.cc (although the function only get's called once so it is not a major problem), a few deletes in dev/x86/i8042.cc that were not array deletes, and sprintfs where the character array had one element less than needed. In the IIC tags there was a function allocating an array of longs which is in fact never used.
2012-09-25ARM: added support for flattened device tree blobsDam Sunwoo
Newer Linux kernels require DTB (device tree blobs) to specify platform configurations. The input DTB filename can be specified through gem5 parameters in LinuxArmSystem.
2012-09-25ARM: Squash outstanding walks when instructions are squashed.Ali Saidi
2012-09-25arm: Use a static_assert to test that miscRegName[] is completeAndreas Sandberg
Instead of statically defining miscRegName to contain NUM_MISCREGS elements, let the compiler determine the length of the array. This allows us to use a static_assert to test that all registers are listed in the name vector.
2012-09-25ARM: Inst writing to cntrlReg registers not set as control instNathanael Premillieu
Deletion of the fact that instructions that writes to registers of type "cntrlReg" are not set as control instruction (flag IsControl not set).
2012-09-25ARM: Predict target of more instructions that modify PC.Ali Saidi
2012-09-19AddrRange: Transition from Range<T> to AddrRangeAndreas Hansson
This patch takes the final plunge and transitions from the templated Range class to the more specific AddrRange. In doing so it changes the obvious Range<Addr> to AddrRange, and also bumps the range_map to be AddrRangeMap. In addition to the obvious changes, including the removal of redundant includes, this patch also does some house keeping in preparing for the introduction of address interleaving support in the ranges. The Range class is also stripped of all the functionality that is never used. --HG-- rename : src/base/range.hh => src/base/addr_range.hh rename : src/base/range_map.hh => src/base/addr_range_map.hh
2012-09-11X86: make use of register predicationNilay Vaish
The patch introduces two predicates for condition code registers -- one tests if a register needs to be read, the other tests whether a register needs to be written to. These predicates are evaluated twice -- during construction of the microop and during its execution. Register reads and writes are elided depending on how the predicates evaluate.
2012-09-11x86: Add a separate register for D flag bitNilay Vaish
The D flag bit is part of the cc flag bit register currently. But since it is not being used any where in the implementation, it creates an unnecessary dependency. Hence, it is being moved to a separate register.
2012-06-03ISA Parser: Allow predication of source and destination registersNilay Vaish
This patch is meant for allowing predicated reads and writes. Note that this predication is different from the ISA provided predication. They way we currently provide the ISA description for X86, we read/write registers that do not need to be actually read/written. This is likely to be true for other ISAs as well. This patch allows for read and write predicates to be associated with operands. It allows for the register indices for source and destination registers to be decided at the time when the microop is constructed. The run time indicies come in to play only when the at least one of the predicates has been provided. This patch will not affect any of the ISAs that do not provide these predicates. Also the patch assumes that the order in which operands appear in any function of the microop is same across all the functions of the microops. A subsequent patch will enable predication for the x86 ISA.
2012-09-10NetBSD: Build on NetBSDPalle Lyckegaard
Minor patch against so building on NetBSD is possible.
2012-08-28Clock: Add a Cycles wrapper class and use where applicableAndreas Hansson
This patch addresses the comments and feedback on the preceding patch that reworks the clocks and now more clearly shows where cycles (relative cycle counts) are used to express time. Instead of bumping the existing patch I chose to make this a separate patch, merely to try and focus the discussion around a smaller set of changes. The two patches will be pushed together though. This changes done as part of this patch are mostly following directly from the introduction of the wrapper class, and change enough code to make things compile and run again. There are definitely more places where int/uint/Tick is still used to represent cycles, and it will take some time to chase them all down. Similarly, a lot of parameters should be changed from Param.Tick and Param.Unsigned to Param.Cycles. In addition, the use of curTick is questionable as there should not be an absolute cycle. Potential solutions can be built on top of this patch. There is a similar situation in the o3 CPU where lastRunningCycle is currently counting in Cycles, and is still an absolute time. More discussion to be had in other words. An additional change that would be appropriate in the future is to perform a similar wrapping of Tick and probably also introduce a Ticks class along with suitable operators for all these classes.
2012-08-28Clock: Rework clocks to avoid tick-to-cycle transformationsAndreas Hansson
This patch introduces the notion of a clock update function that aims to avoid costly divisions when turning the current tick into a cycle. Each clocked object advances a private (hidden) cycle member and a tick member and uses these to implement functions for getting the tick of the next cycle, or the tick of a cycle some time in the future. In the different modules using the clocks, changes are made to avoid counting in ticks only to later translate to cycles. There are a few oddities in how the O3 and inorder CPU count idle cycles, as seen by a few locations where a cycle is subtracted in the calculation. This is done such that the regression does not change any stats, but should be revisited in a future patch. Another, much needed, change that is not done as part of this patch is to introduce a new typedef uint64_t Cycle to be able to at least hint at the unit of the variables counting Ticks vs Cycles. This will be done as a follow-up patch. As an additional follow up, the thread context still uses ticks for the book keeping of last activate and last suspend and this should probably also be changed into cycles as well.
2012-08-22Packet: Remove NACKs from packet and its use in endpointsAndreas Hansson
This patch removes the NACK frrom the packet as there is no longer any module in the system that issues them (the bridge was the only one and the previous patch removes that). The handling of NACKs was mostly avoided throughout the code base, by using e.g. panic or assert false, but in a few locations the NACKs were actually dealt with (although NACKs never occured in any of the regressions). Most notably, the DMA port will now never receive a NACK and the backoff time is thus never changed. As a consequence, the entire backoff mechanism (similar to a PCI bus) is now removed and the DMA port entirely relies on the bus performing the arbitration and issuing a retry when appropriate. This is more in line with e.g. PCIe. Surprisingly, this patch has no impact on any of the regressions. As mentioned in the patch that removes the NACK from the bridge, a follow-up patch should change the request and response buffer size for at least one regression to also verify that the system behaves as expected when the bridge fills up.
2012-08-21Device: Remove overloaded pio_latency parameterAndreas Hansson
This patch removes the overloading of the parameter, which seems both redundant, and possibly incorrect. The PciConfigAll now also uses a Param.Latency rather than a Param.Tick. For backwards compatibility it still sets the pio_latency to 1 tick. All the comments have also been updated to not state that it is in simticks when it is not necessarily the case.
2012-08-21Clock: Move the clock and related functions to ClockedObjectAndreas Hansson
This patch moves the clock of the CPU, bus, and numerous devices to the new class ClockedObject, that sits in between the SimObject and MemObject in the class hierarchy. Although there are currently a fair amount of MemObjects that do not make use of the clock, they potentially should do so, e.g. the caches should at some point have the same clock as the CPU, potentially with a 1:n ratio. This patch does not introduce any new clock objects or object hierarchies (clusters, clock domains etc), but is still a step in the direction of having a more structured approach clock domains. The most contentious part of this patch is the serialisation of clocks that some of the modules (but not all) did previously. This serialisation should not be needed as the clock is set through the parameters even when restoring from the checkpoint. In other words, the state is "stored" in the Python code that creates the modules. The nextCycle methods are also simplified and the clock phase parameter of the CPU is removed (this could be part of a clock object once they are introduced).
2012-08-16Alpha System: override startup(), instead of loadState()Nilay Vaish
Alpha System was overriding loadState() function to setup some functional event. The system tried to read/write to memory before the Ruby memory had unserialized the state. With this patch, Alpha System overrides the startup() function, and sets up functional events in this function. This works because startup() is called after Ruby memory system has unserialized the memory state.
2012-08-15O3,ARM: fix some problems with drain/switchout functionality and add Drain ↵Anthony Gutierrez
DPRINTFs This patch fixes some problems with the drain/switchout functionality for the O3 cpu and for the ARM ISA and adds some useful debug print statements. This is an incremental fix as there are still a few bugs/mem leaks with the switchout code. Particularly when switching from an O3CPU to a TimingSimpleCPU. However, when switching from O3 to O3 cores with the ARM ISA I haven't encountered any more assertion failures; now the kernel will typically panic inside of simulation.
2012-08-15sysemul: bump all linux versions of for syscal emulation to 3.0.Ali Saidi
New tool chains seem to be looking for kernel versions newer than what this this was previously set to. Also take this opportunity to change the hostname we report in uname to sim.gem5.org.
2012-08-06syscall emulation: Enabled getrlimit and getrusage for x86.Marc Orr
Added/moved rlimit constants to base linux header file. This patch is a revised version of Vince Weaver's earlier patch.
2012-08-06syscall emulation: Clean up ioctl handling, and implement for x86.Marc Orr
Enable different whitelists for different OS/arch combinations, since some use the generic Linux definitions only, and others use definitions inherited from earlier Unix flavors on those architectures. Also update x86 function pointers so ioctl is no longer unimplemented on that platform. This patch is a revised version of Vince Weaver's earlier patch.
2012-07-27ARM: fix value of MISCREG_CTR returned by readMiscReg()Anthony Gutierrez
According to the A15 TRM the value of this register is as follows (assuming 16 word = 64 byte lines) [31:29] Format - b100 specifies v7 [28] RAZ - b0 [27:24] CWG log2(max writeback size #words) - 0x4 16 words [23:20] ERG log2(max reservation size #words) - 0x4 16 words [19:16] DminLine log2(smallest dcache line #words) - 0x4 16 words [15:14] L1Ip L1 index/tagging policy - b11 specifies PIPT [13:4] RAZ - b0000000000 [3:0] IminLine log2(smallest icache line #words) - 0x4 16 words

2012-07-09Port: Make getAddrRanges constAndreas Hansson
This patch makes getAddrRanges const throughout the code base. There is no reason why it should not be, and making it const prevents adding any unintentional side-effects.
2012-07-02gcc: Fix warnings for gcc 4.7 and clang 3.1Andreas Hansson
This patch fixes two warnings, one related to a narrowing conversion (int to MachInst), and one due to the cast operator for arguments and a mismatch in const-ness (const void* and void*).
2012-06-29ARM: Fix identification of one RAS pop instruction.Ali Saidi
The check should be with the op2 field, not with the op1 field.
2012-06-29ARM: Update version of linux we claim to be to 3.0.0.Ali Saidi
Static binaries generated with new versions of libc complain that the kernel is too old otherwise.
2012-06-29ARM: Fix issue with predicted next pc being wrong because of advance() ordering.Ali Saidi
npc in PCState for ARM was being calculated before the current flags were updated with the next flags. This causes an issue as the npc is incremented by two or four depending on the current flags (thumb or not) and was leading to branches that were predicted correctly being identified as mispredicted.
2012-06-11ARM: implement the ProcessInfo methodsAnthony Gutierrez
2012-06-08Power: Fix MaxMiscDestRegs which was set to zeroAndreas Hansson
This patch fixes a failing compilation caused by MaxMiscDestRegs being zero. According to gcc 4.6, the result is a comparison that is always false due to limited range of data type.
2012-06-07X86 TLB: Add a missing = signNilay Vaish
2012-06-07X86 TLB: Fix for gcc 4.4.3Jayneel Gandhi
Due to recent changes to X86 TLB, gem5 stopped compiling on gcc version 4.4.3. This patch provides the fix for that problem. The patch is tested on gcc 4.4.3. The change is not required for more recent versions of gcc (like on 4.6.3).
2012-06-05cpu: Don't init simple and inorder CPUs if they are defered.Anthony Gutierrez
initCPU() will be called to initialize switched out CPUs for the simple and inorder CPU models. this patch prevents those CPUs from being initialized because they should get their state from the active CPU when it is switched out.
2012-06-05ISA: Back-out NoopMachInst as a StaticInstPtr change.Ali Saidi
2012-06-05ARM: removed extra white spaceChander Sudanthi
Extra white space fixes in miscregs.hh
2012-06-05ARM: Fix MPIDR and MIDR register implementation.Chander Sudanthi
This change allows designating a system as MP capable or not as some bootloaders/kernels care that it's set right. You can have a single processor MP capable system, but you can't have a multi-processor UP only system. This change also fixes the initialization of the MIDR register.
2012-06-05O3: Clean up the O3 structures and try to pack them a bit better.Ali Saidi
DynInst is extremely large the hope is that this re-organization will put the most used members close to each other.
2012-06-05sim: Remove FastAllocAli Saidi
While FastAlloc provides a small performance increase (~1.5%) over regular malloc it isn't thread safe. After removing FastAlloc and using tcmalloc I've seen a performance increase of 12% over libc malloc when running twolf for ARM.
2012-06-05ARM: Fix compilation on ARM after Gabe's change.Ali Saidi
2012-06-04ISA: Turn the ExtMachInst NoopMachinst into the StaticInstPtr NoopStaticInst.Gabe Black
This eliminates a use of the ExtMachInst type outside of the ISAs.
