2013-02-15arm: fix some fp comparisons that worked by accident.Ali Saidi
The explict tests in the follwing fp comparison operations were incorrect as they checked for only signaling NaNs and not quite-NaNs as well. When compiled with gcc, the comparison generates a fp exception that causes the FE_INVALID flag to be set and we check for it, so even though the check was incorrect, the correct exception was set. With clang this behavior seems to not occur. The checks are updated to test for nans and the behavior is now correct with both clang and gcc.
2013-02-15ARM: Fix an issue with clang generating wrong code.Ali Saidi
Clang generated executables would enter the if condition when it wasn't supposted to, resulting in the wrong simulated behavior. Implementing the operation this way is a bit faster anyway.
2013-01-22x86, cpu: corrects 270c9a75e91f, take over decoder on cpu switchNilay Vaish
The changes made by the changeset 270c9a75e91f do not work well with switching of cpus. The problem is that decoder for the old thread context holds state that is not taken over by the new decoder. This patch adds a takeOverFrom() function to Decoder class in each ISA. Except for x86, functions in other ISAs are blank. For x86, the function copies state from the old decoder to the new decoder.
2013-01-15x86 cpuid: enable clflushNilay Vaish
Note that clflush is only being enabled. It is not implemented in actual. A warning is printed if the cpu encounters a clflush instruction. We need to enable this instruction in cpuid since JRE 1.7 tests for it.

2013-01-12x86: Changes to decoder, corrects 9376Nilay Vaish
The changes made by the changeset 9376 were not quite correct. The patch made changes to the code which resulted in decoder not getting initialized correctly when the state was restored from a checkpoint. This patch adds a startup function to each ISA object. For x86, this function sets the required state in the decoder. For other ISAs, the function is empty right now.
2013-01-08util: add m5_fail op.LluĂ­s Vilanova
Used as a command in full-system scripts helps the user ensure the benchmarks have finished successfully. For example, one can use: /path/to/benchmark args || /sbin/m5 fail 1 and thus ensure gem5 will exit with an error if the benchmark fails.
2013-01-08arm: add access syscall for ARM SE modeMitch Hayenga
This patch adds the "access" syscall for ARM SE as required by some spec2006 benchmarks.
2013-01-07cpu: Flush TLBs on switchOut()Andreas Sandberg
This changeset inserts a TLB flush in BaseCPU::switchOut to prevent stale translations when doing repeated switching. Additionally, the TLB flushing functionality is exported to the Python to make debugging of switching/checkpointing easier. A simulation script will typically use the TLB flushing functionality to generate a reference trace. The following sequence can be used to simulate a handover (this depends on how drain is implemented, but is generally the case) between identically configured CPU models: m5.drain(test_sys) [ cpu.flushTLBs() for cpu in test_sys.cpu ] m5.resume(test_sys) The generated trace should normally be identical to a trace generated when switching between identically configured CPU models or checkpointing and resuming.
2013-01-07arm: Invalidate cached TLB configuration in drainResumeAndreas Sandberg
Currently, we invalidate the cached miscregs in TLB::unserialize(). The intended use of the drainResume() method is to invalidate cached state and prepare the system to resume after a CPU handover or (un)serialization. This patch moves the TLB miscregs invalidation code to the drainResume() method to avoid surprising behavior.
2013-01-07arm: Fix draining of the pagetable walker when squashingAndreas Sandberg
Since the page table walker only checks if a drain has completed in doL1DescriptorWrapper() and doL2DescriptorWrapper(), it sometimes looses track of a drain request if there is a squash. This changeset adds a completeDrain() call after squashing requests in the pending queue, which fixes this issue.
2013-01-07arm: Remove the register mapping hack used when copying TCsAndreas Sandberg
In order to see all registers independent of the current CPU mode, the ARM architecture model uses the magic MISCREG_CPSR_MODE register to change the register mappings without actually updating the CPU mode. This hack is no longer needed since the thread context now provides a flat interface to the register file. This patch replaces the CPSR_MODE hack with the flat register interface.
2013-01-07arch: Move the ISA object to a separate sectionAndreas Sandberg
After making the ISA an independent SimObject, it is serialized automatically by the Python world. Previously, this just resulted in an empty ISA section. This patch moves the contents of the ISA to that section and removes the explicit ISA serialization from the thread contexts, which makes it behave like a normal SimObject during serialization. Note: This patch breaks checkpoint backwards compatibility! Use the cpt_upgrader.py utility to upgrade old checkpoints to the new format.
2013-01-07arch: Add support for invalidating TLBs when drainingAndreas Sandberg
This patch adds support for the memInvalidate() drain method. TLB flushing is requested by calling the virtual flushAll() method on the TLB. Note: This patch renames invalidateAll() to flushAll() on x86 and SPARC to make the interface consistent across all supported architectures.
2013-01-07arch: Fix broken M5VarArgsFault initializationAndreas Sandberg
At least gcc 4.4.3 seems to get confused by the use of func both as a template parameter and a member variable in the M5VarArgsFault class. This causes the value of the member variable func to be unpredictable in M5VarArgsFault objects. This changeset renames the template parameter to remove this ambiguity.
2013-01-07base: Encapsulate the underlying fields in AddrRangeAndreas Hansson
This patch makes the start and end address private in a move to prevent direct manipulation and matching of ranges based on these fields. This is done so that a transition to ranges with interleaving support is possible. As a result of hiding the start and end, a number of member functions are needed to perform the comparisons and manipulations that previously took place directly on the members. An accessor function is provided for the start address, and a function is added to test if an address is within a range. As a result of the latter the != and == operator is also removed in favour of the member function. A member function that returns a string representation is also created to allow debug printing. In general, this patch does not add any functionality, but it does take us closer to a situation where interleaving (and more cleverness) can be added under the bonnet without exposing it to the user. More on that in a later patch.
2013-01-07arm: Make ID registers ISA parametersAndreas Sandberg
This patch makes the values of ID_ISARx, MIDR, and FPSID configurable as ISA parameter values. Additionally, setMiscReg now ignores writes to all of the ID registers. Note: This moves the MIDR parameter from ArmSystem to ArmISA for consistency.
2013-01-07arch: Make the ISA class inherit from SimObjectAndreas Sandberg
The ISA class on stores the contents of ID registers on many architectures. In order to make reset values of such registers configurable, we make the class inherit from SimObject, which allows us to use the normal generated parameter headers. This patch introduces a Python helper method, BaseCPU.createThreads(), which creates a set of ISAs for each of the threads in an SMT system. Although it is currently only needed when creating multi-threaded CPUs, it should always be called before instantiating the system as this is an obvious place to configure ID registers identifying a thread/CPU.
2013-01-07o3: Fix issue with LLSC ordering and speculationAli Saidi
This patch unlocks the cpu-local monitor when the CPU sees a snoop to a locked address. Previously we relied on the cache to handle the locking for us, however some users on the gem5 mailing list reported a case where the cpu speculatively executes a ll operation after a pending sc operation in the pipeline and that makes the cache monitor valid. This should handle that case by invaliding the local monitor.
2013-01-04Decoder: Remove the thread context get/set from the decoder.Gabe Black
This interface is no longer used, and getting rid of it simplifies the decoders and code that sets up the decoders. The thread context had been used to read architectural state which was used to contextualize the instruction memory as it came in. That was changed so that the state is now sent to the decoders to keep locally if/when it changes. That's significantly more efficient. Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>
2013-01-04X86: Move address based decode caching in front of the predecoder.Gabe Black
The predecoder in x86 does a lot of work, most of which can be skipped if the decoder cache is put in front of it. Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>
2013-01-04SPARC: Keep a copy of the current ASI in the decoder.Gabe Black
Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>
2013-01-04ARM: Keep a copy of the fpscr len and stride fields in the decoder.Gabe Black
Avoid reading them every instruction, and also eliminate the last use of the thread context in the decoders. Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>
2012-12-30x86: implement x87 fp instruction fnstswNilay Vaish
This patch implements the fnstsw instruction. The code was originally written by Vince Weaver. Gabe had made some comments about the code, but those were never addressed. This patch addresses those comments.
2012-12-30x86: implement x87 fp instruction fsincosNilay Vaish
This patch implements the fsincos instruction. The code was originally written by Vince Weaver. Gabe had made some comments about the code, but those were never addressed. This patch addresses those comments.
2012-12-12arm: set uopSet_uop as conditional or unconditional controlNathanael Premillieu
uopSet_uop is microop instruction that has the IsControl flags set, but the IsCondControl or IsUncondControl flags seems not to be set, neither in the construction nor where the microop is used. This patch adds the the flags in the constructor of the instruction (MicroUopSetPCCPSR). Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>
2012-12-12arm: set movret_uop as conditional or unconditional controlNathanael Premillieu
A flag was missing for the movret_uop microop instruction. This patch adds that flag when the instruction is used, not directly in the constructor of the instruction. Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>
2012-11-02sim: Move the draining interface into a separate base classAndreas Sandberg
This patch moves the draining interface from SimObject to a separate class that can be used by any object needing draining. However, objects not visible to the Python code (i.e., objects not deriving from SimObject) still depend on their parents informing them when to drain. This patch also gets rid of the CountedDrainEvent (which isn't really an event) and replaces it with a DrainManager.
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.
