2015-07-07sim: Refactor the serialization base classAndreas Sandberg
Objects that are can be serialized are supposed to inherit from the Serializable class. This class is meant to provide a unified API for such objects. However, so far it has mainly been used by SimObjects due to some fundamental design limitations. This changeset redesigns to the serialization interface to make it more generic and hide the underlying checkpoint storage. Specifically: * Add a set of APIs to serialize into a subsection of the current object. Previously, objects that needed this functionality would use ad-hoc solutions using nameOut() and section name generation. In the new world, an object that implements the interface has the methods serializeSection() and unserializeSection() that serialize into a named /subsection/ of the current object. Calling serialize() serializes an object into the current section. * Move the name() method from Serializable to SimObject as it is no longer needed for serialization. The fully qualified section name is generated by the main serialization code on the fly as objects serialize sub-objects. * Add a scoped ScopedCheckpointSection helper class. Some objects need to serialize data structures, that are not deriving from Serializable, into subsections. Previously, this was done using nameOut() and manual section name generation. To simplify this, this changeset introduces a ScopedCheckpointSection() helper class. When this class is instantiated, it adds a new /subsection/ and subsequent serialization calls during the lifetime of this helper class happen inside this section (or a subsection in case of nested sections). * The serialize() call is now const which prevents accidental state manipulation during serialization. Objects that rely on modifying state can use the serializeOld() call instead. The default implementation simply calls serialize(). Note: The old-style calls need to be explicitly called using the serializeOld()/serializeSectionOld() style APIs. These are used by default when serializing SimObjects. * Both the input and output checkpoints now use their own named types. This hides underlying checkpoint implementation from objects that need checkpointing and makes it easier to change the underlying checkpoint storage code.
2015-07-03base: remove fd from object loadersCurtis Dunham
All the object loaders directly examine the (already completely loaded by object_file.cc) memory image. There is no current motivation to keep the fd around.

2014-10-01misc: Fix issues identified by static analysisAndreas Hansson
Another bunch of issues addressed.
2014-09-09misc: Fix a number of unitialised variables and membersAndreas Hansson
Static analysis unearther a bunch of uninitialised variables and members, and this patch addresses the problem. In all cases these omissions seem benign in the end, but at least fixing them means less false positives next time round.
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.
2014-01-24arm: Add support for ARMv8 (AArch64 & AArch32)ARM gem5 Developers
Note: AArch64 and AArch32 interworking is not supported. If you use an AArch64 kernel you are restricted to AArch64 user-mode binaries. This will be addressed in a later patch. Note: Virtualization is only supported in AArch32 mode. This will also be fixed in a later patch.

2013-04-17base: load weak symbols from object fileDeyuan Guo ext:(%2C%20Nilay%20Vaish%20%3Cnilay%40cs.wisc.edu%3E)
Without loading weak symbols into gem5, some function names and the given PC cannot correspond correctly, because the binding attributes of unction names in an ELF file are not only STB_GLOBAL or STB_LOCAL, but also STB_WEAK. This patch adds a function for loading weak symbols. Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>
2013-02-15loader: add a flattened device tree blob (dtb) objectAnthony Gutierrez
this adds a dtb_object so the loader can load in the dtb file for linux/android ARM kernels.
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.
2012-09-07loader: initialize all memory in the ObjectFile objects.Ali Saidi
Some bare metal build flows seem to build binaries that we aren't necessarily expecting. Initialize everything to 0, so we don't make any assumptions about what is or isn't in the binary.
2012-07-09Fix: Address a few benign memory leaksAndreas Hansson
This patch is the result of static analysis identifying a number of memory leaks. The leaks are all benign as they are a result of not deallocating memory in the desctructor. The fix still has value as it removes false positives in the static analysis.
2012-02-24MEM: Make port proxies use references rather than pointersAndreas Hansson
This patch is adding a clearer design intent to all objects that would not be complete without a port proxy by making the proxies members rathen than dynamically allocated. In essence, if NULL would not be a valid value for the proxy, then we avoid using a pointer to make this clear. The same approach is used for the methods using these proxies, such as loadSections, that now use references rather than pointers to better reflect the fact that NULL would not be an acceptable value (in fact the code would break and that is how this patch started out). Overall the concept of "using a reference to express unconditional composition where a NULL pointer is never valid" could be done on a much broader scale throughout the code base, but for now it is only done in the locations affected by the proxies.
2012-01-17MEM: Add port proxies instead of non-structural portsAndreas Hansson
Port proxies are used to replace non-structural ports, and thus enable all ports in the system to correspond to a structural entity. This has the advantage of accessing memory through the normal memory subsystem and thus allowing any constellation of distributed memories, address maps, etc. Most accesses are done through the "system port" that is used for loading binaries, debugging etc. For the entities that belong to the CPU, e.g. threads and thread contexts, they wrap the CPU data port in a port proxy. The following replacements are made: FunctionalPort > PortProxy TranslatingPort > SETranslatingPortProxy VirtualPort > FSTranslatingPortProxy --HG-- rename : src/mem/vport.cc => src/mem/fs_translating_port_proxy.cc rename : src/mem/vport.hh => src/mem/fs_translating_port_proxy.hh rename : src/mem/translating_port.cc => src/mem/se_translating_port_proxy.cc rename : src/mem/translating_port.hh => src/mem/se_translating_port_proxy.hh
2011-06-12Loader: Handle bad section names when loading an ELF file.Gabe Black
If there's a problem when reading the section names from a supposed ELF file, this change makes gem5 print an error message as returned by libelf and die. Previously these sorts of errors would make gem5 segfault when it tried to access the section name through a NULL pointer.
2011-04-15trace: reimplement the DTRACE function so it doesn't use a vectorNathan Binkert
At the same time, rename the trace flags to debug flags since they have broader usage than simply tracing. This means that --trace-flags is now --debug-flags and --trace-help is now --debug-help
