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.

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.

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.

Added/moved rlimit constants to base linux header file.
This patch is a revised version of Vince Weaver's earlier patch.
|
|
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.

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

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.
|
|
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*).

The check should be with the op2 field, not with the op1 field.
|
|
Static binaries generated with new versions of libc complain that the kernel
is too old otherwise.

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.

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.

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).

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.

Extra white space fixes in miscregs.hh

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.

DynInst is extremely large the hope is that this re-organization will put the
most used members close to each other.

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.

This eliminates a use of the ExtMachInst type outside of the ISAs.
|
|
The CPUID instruction was implemented so that it would only write its results
if the instruction was successful. This works fine on the simple CPU where
unwritten registers retain their old values, but on a CPU like O3 with
renaming this is broken. The instruction needs to write the old values back
into the registers explicitly if they aren't being changed.
|
|
There are some bits of some fields of the ExtMachInst which are not actually
used for anything but are included in the hash of an ExtMachInst for
simplicity and efficiency. This change makes sure the decoder's internal
working ExtMachInst is completely initialized, even these unused bits, so that
there isn't any nondeterministic behavior, no valgrind messages about
uninitialized variables, and no potential false misses/redundant entries in
the decode cache.

The GDT can be accessed by user level software running in compatibility mode
by moving segment selectors into segment registers. The GDT needs to be set up
at an address accessible in this mode.
|
|
A small change was added a while ago to keep addresses from overflowing 32
bits when larger addresses shouldn't be accessible to software. That change
truncated when not in long mode, but really it should have truncated when not
in 64 bit mode. The difference is whether compatibility mode is included, a
mode that's supposed to act like a legacy 32 bit mode.

This will allow it to be specialized by the ISAs. The existing caching scheme
is provided by the BasicDecodeCache in the GenericISA namespace and is built
from the generalized components.

These classes are always used together, and merging them will give the ISAs
more flexibility in how they cache things and manage the process.

This patch moves the DMA device to its own set of files, splitting it
from the IO device. There are no behavioural changes associated with
this patch.
The patch also grabs the opportunity to do some very minor tidying up,
including some white space removal and pruning some redundant
parameters.
Besides the immediate benefits of the separation-of-concerns, this
patch also makes upcoming changes more streamlined as it split the
devices that are only slaves and the DMA device that also acts as a
master.

This patch makes the (device) DmaPort non-snooping and removes the
recvSnoop constructor parameter and instead introduces a
SnoopingDmaPort subclass for the ARM table walker.
Functionality is unchanged, as are the stats, and the patch merely
clarifies that the normal DMA ports are not snooping (although they
may issue requests that are snooped by others, as done with PCI, PCIe,
AMBA4 ACE etc).
Currently this port is declared in the ARM table walker as it is not
used anywhere else. If other ports were to have similar behaviour it
could be moved in a future patch.

This patch moves the ECF and EZF bits to individual registers (ecfBit and
ezfBit) and the CF and OF bits to cfofFlag registers. This is being done
so as to lower the read after write dependencies on the the condition code
register. Ultimately we will have the following registers [ZAPS], [OF],
[CF], [ECF], [EZF] and [DF]. Note that this is only one part of the
solution for lowering the dependencies. The other part will check whether
or not the condition code register needs to be actually read. This would
be done through a separate patch.

Shuffle the 32 bit values into position, and then add in parallel.

Symbol tables masked with the loadAddrMask create redundant entries
that could conflict with kernel function events that rely on the
original addresses. This patch guards the creation of those masked
symbol tables by default, with an option to enable them when needed
(for early-stage kernel debugging, etc.)

This patch moves send/recvTiming and send/recvTimingSnoop from the
Port base class to the MasterPort and SlavePort, and also splits them
into separate member functions for requests and responses:
send/recvTimingReq, send/recvTimingResp, and send/recvTimingSnoopReq,
send/recvTimingSnoopResp. A master port sends requests and receives
responses, and also receives snoop requests and sends snoop
responses. A slave port has the reciprocal behaviour as it receives
requests and sends responses, and sends snoop requests and receives
snoop responses.
For all MemObjects that have only master ports or slave ports (but not
both), e.g. a CPU, or a PIO device, this patch merely adds more
clarity to what kind of access is taking place. For example, a CPU
port used to call sendTiming, and will now call
sendTimingReq. Similarly, a response previously came back through
recvTiming, which is now recvTimingResp. For the modules that have
both master and slave ports, e.g. the bus, the behaviour was
previously relying on branches based on pkt->isRequest(), and this is
now replaced with a direct call to the apprioriate member function
depending on the type of access. Please note that send/recvRetry is
still shared by all the timing accessors and remains in the Port base
class for now (to maintain the current bus functionality and avoid
changing the statistics of all regressions).
The packet queue is split into a MasterPort and SlavePort version to
facilitate the use of the new timing accessors. All uses of the
PacketQueue are updated accordingly.
With this patch, the type of packet (request or response) is now well
defined for each type of access, and asserts on pkt->isRequest() and
pkt->isResponse() are now moved to the appropriate send member
functions. It is also worth noting that sendTimingSnoopReq no longer
returns a boolean, as the semantics do not alow snoop requests to be
rejected or stalled. All these assumptions are now excplicitly part of
the port interface itself.

The disp displacement was left off the load microop so the wrong value was
used.

It's possible for two page table walks to overlap which will go in the same
place in the TLB's trie. They would land on top of each other, so this change
adds some code which detects if an address already matches an entry and if so
throws away the new one.
|
|
This is to avoid collision with non-generated files.
|
|
This way the user gets a nice message instead of a less nice segfault.
|
|
The parameter is _machInst, which is very similar to the member machInst. If
machInst is used to pass the parameter to a lower level constructor, what
really happens is that machInst is set to whatever it already happened to be,
effectively leaving it uninitialized.
