This patch implements the simd128 ADDSUBPD instruction for the x86 architecture.
Tested with a simple program in assembly language which executes the
instruction. Checked that different versions of the instruction are executed
by using the execution tracing option.

This patch adds table walker stats for:
- Walk events
- Instruction vs Data
- Page size histogram
- Wait time and service time histograms
- Pending requests histogram (per cycle) - measures dist. of L
(p(1..) = how often busy, p(0) = how often idle)
- Squashes, before starting and after completion

We currently don't handle unaligned PCs correctly. There is one check
for unaligned PCs in the TLB when running in aarch64 mode, but this
check does not cover cases where the CPU does not do a TLB lookup when
decoding an instruction (e.g., a branch stays within the same cache
line). Additionally, the Decoder class sometimes throws an assertion
for unaligned PCs which breaks speculation.
This changeset introduces a decoder fault bit field in the ExtMachInst
structure. This field can be used to signal a decoder failure. If set,
the decoder generates an internal gem5fault instruction instead of a
normal instruction. This instruction in turns either panics (fault
type PANIC), returns an PCAlignmentFault (fault type UNALIGNED,
aarch64) or PrefetchAbort (fault type UNALIGNED, aarch32).
The patch causes minor changes to the realview64 regressions, and a
stats bump will follow.
|
|
This changeset adds more documentation to the ArmISA::Decoder class
and restructures it slightly to make API groups more obvious.
|
|
This patch adds support for filtering events in the PMU. In order to
do so, it updates the ISADevice base class to forward an ISA pointer
to ISA devices. This enables such devices to access the MiscReg file
to determine the current execution level.
|
|
The aarch64 system register decoder is currently not decoding
PMXEVTYPER_EL0 and PMCCFILTR_EL0 correctly. This changeset updates the
decoder so that they are decoded using the values in table C5-6 in ARM
DDI 0478A.c.

The new single stepping implementation for x86 doesn't rely on any ISA
specific properties or functionality. This change pulls out the per ISA
implementation of those functions and promotes the X86 implementation to the
base class.
One drawback of that implementation is that the CPU might stop on an
instruction twice if it's affected by both breakpoints and single stepping.
While that might be a little surprising, it's harmless and would only happen
under somewhat unlikely circumstances.
|
|
This stub should allow remote debugging of 32 bit and 64 bit targets. Single
stepping seems to work, as do breakpoints. If both breakpoints and single
stepping affect an instruction, gdb will stop at the instruction twice before
continuing. That's a little surprising, but is generally harmless.
|
|
Not all ISAs have 64 bit sized registers, so it's not always very convenient
to access the GDB register cache in 64 bit sized chunks. This change makes it
accessible in 8, 16, 32, or 64 bit chunks. The MIPS and ARM implementations
were working around that limitation by bundling and unbundling 32 bit values
into 64 bit values. That code has been removed.

Instead of counting the number of opcode bytes in an instruction and recording
each byte before the actual opcode, we can represent the path we took to get to
the actual opcode byte by using a type code. That has a couple of advantages.
First, we can disambiguate the properties of opcodes of the same length which
have different properties. Second, it reduces the amount of data stored in an
ExtMachInst, making them slightly easier/faster to create and process. This
also adds some flexibility as far as how different types of opcodes are
handled, which might come in handy if we decide to support VEX or XOP
instructions.
This change also adds tables to support properly decoding 3 byte opcodes.
Before we would fall off the end of some arrays, on top of the ambiguity
described above.
This change doesn't measureably affect performance on the twolf benchmark.

The values in a "bitfield" or in an ExtMachInst structure member may not be a
literal value, it might select from an arbitrary collection of options. Instead
of using the raw value of those constants in the decoder, it's easier to tell
what's going on if they can be referred to as a symbolic constant/enum.
To support that, the ISA description language is extended slightly so that in
addition to integer literals, the case value for decode blobs can also be a
string literal. It's up to the ISA author to ensure that the string evaluates
to a legal constant value when interpretted as C++.

This patch fixes a case where the Minor CPU can deadlock due to the lack
of a response to TLB request because of a bug in fault handling in the ARM
table walker.
TableWalker::processWalkWrapper is the scheduler-called wrapper which
handles deferred walks which calls to TableWalker::wait cannot immediately
process. The handling of faults generated by processWalk{AArch64,LPAE,}
calls in those two functions is is different. processWalkWrapper ignores
fault returns from processWalk... which can lead to ::finish not being
called on a translation.
This fix provides fault handling in processWalkWrapper similar to that
found in the leaf functions which BaseTLB::Translation::finish.

Ensure the snoop address check is always using a cache-block aligned
address. This patch updates Alpha and Mips to match the other ISAs.
|
|
This patch adds uncacheable/cacheable and read-only/read-write attributes to
the map method of PageTableBase. It also modifies the constructor of TlbEntry
structs for all architectures to consider the new attributes.
|
|
This patch sets up low and high privilege code and data segments and places them
in the following order: cs low, ds low, ds, cs, in the GDT. Additionally, a
syscall and page fault handler for KvmCPU in SE mode are defined. The order of
the segment selectors in GDT is required in this manner for interrupt handling
to work properly. Segment initialization is done for all the thread
contexts.
|
|
This patch adds methods in KvmCPU model to handle KVM exits caused by syscall
instructions and page faults. These types of exits will be encountered if
KvmCPU is run in SE mode.
|
|
Adding more features in the CPUid with the purpose of supporting running the
KvmCPU in SE mode.
|
|
The data size used for actually writing the base value for the segment was the
default size, but really it should set the entire value without any possible
truncation.
|
|
The far pointer should be shifted right to get the selector value, not left.
Also, when calculating the width of the offset, the wrong register was used in
one spot.
|
|
Otherwise the IPI which isn't sent will never arrive, and the deliveryStatus
bit will never be cleared.
|
|
The getRegArrayBit function extracts a bit from a series of registers which
are treated as a single large bit array. A previous change had modified the
logic which figured out which bit to extract from ">> 5" to "% 5" which seems
wrong, especially when other, similar functions were changed to use "% 32".
|
|
The value in EAX has an 8 bit field for the linear address size and one for
the physical address size when calling that function. A recent change
implemented it but returned 0xff for both of those fields. That implies that
linear and physical addresses are 255 bits wide which is wrong. When using the
KVM CPU model this causes an error, presumably because some of those bits are
actually reserved, or the CPU or kernel realizes 255 bits is a bad value.
This change makes those values 48.
|
|
Another churn to clean up undefined behaviour, mostly ARM, but some
parts also touching the generic part of the code base.
Most of the fixes are simply ensuring that proper intialisation. One
of the more subtle changes is the return type of the sign-extension,
which is changed to uint64_t. This is to avoid shifting negative
values (undefined behaviour) in the ISA code.

Mwait works as follows:
1. A cpu monitors an address of interest (monitor instruction)
2. A cpu calls mwait - this loads the cache line into that cpu's cache.
3. The cpu goes to sleep.
4. When another processor requests write permission for the line, it is
evicted from the sleeping cpu's cache. This eviction is forwarded to the
sleeping cpu, which then wakes up.

regressions.
This changes the default ARM system to a Versatile Express-like system that supports
2GB of memory and PCI devices and updates the default kernels/file-systems for
AArch64 ARM systems (64-bit) to support up to 32GB of memory and PCI devices. Some
platforms that are no longer supported have been pruned from the configuration files.
In addition a set of 64-bit ARM regressions have been added to the regression system.

Automatically extract cpu release address from DTB file.
Check SCTLR_EL1 to verify all caches are enabled.
|
|
The checker can't verify timer registers, so it should just grab the version
from the executing CPU, otherwise it could get a larger value and diverge
execution.
|

The identifier SYS_getdents is not available on Mac OS X. Therefore, its use
results in compilation failure. It seems there is no straight forward way to
implement the system call getdents using readdir() or similar C functions.
Hence the commit 6709bbcf564d is being rolled back.

This patch fixes a few minor issues that caused link-time warnings
when using LTO, mainly for x86. The most important change is how the
syscall array is created. Previously gcc and clang would complain that
the declaration and definition types did not match. The organisation
is now changed to match how it is done for ARM, moving the code that
was previously in syscalls.cc into process.cc, and having a class
variable pointing to the static array.
With these changes, there are no longer any warnings using gcc 4.6.3
with LTO.

This patch takes quite a large step in transitioning from the ad-hoc
RefCountingPtr to the c++11 shared_ptr by adopting its use for all
Faults. There are no changes in behaviour, and the code modifications
are mostly just replacing "new" with "make_shared".

This patch makes the memory system ISA-agnostic by enabling the Ruby
Sequencer to dynamically determine if it has to do a store check. To
enable this check, the ISA is encoded as an enum, and the system
is able to provide the ISA to the Sequencer at run time.

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)
|

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.

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:

27 static inline int phys_addr_valid(unsigned long addr)
28 {
29 return addr < (1UL << boot_cpu_data.x86_phys_bits);

478
479 c->x86_virt_bits = (eax >> 8) & 0xff;

This patch return 0x0000ffff for LongModeAddressSize, which guarantee phys_addr_valid never failed.

Some incorrect casting to IntRegIndex, and a few uninitialized members

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.

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.
|

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).

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.

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.

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.

This patch closes a number of space gaps in debug messages caused by
