2019-11-27base, python: Allow dirname selection for the interpreterGiacomo Travaglini
This is the second step towards being able to run dynamically linked applications when the guest ISA != than host ISA. Once the guest interpreter is loaded to memory, we are able to redirect shared object loads through the redirectPath interface. How do we load the guest interpreter? The elf file is for example asking for the /lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so interpreter. That would point to a valid dynamic linker/loader if guest ISA == host ISA, but if we are running on X86 we should point to the guest (aarch64 in the example) toolchain wherever it is installed. This patch is adding the --interp-dir option to point to the parent folder of the guest /lib in the host fs.

Current loader is performing a linear scan of the section table for every segment in the elf since it is naming every segment after the sections it contains.

2019-10-16arch,base,sim: Move Process loader hooks into the Process class.Gabe Black

2019-10-15arch,base: Restructure the object file loaders.Gabe Black
This change creates a distinction between object files which hold executable code, and flat files which don't. The first type of files have entry points, symbols, etc., while the others are just blobs which can be shoved into memory. Rather than have those aspects but stub them out, this change creates a new base class which simply doesn't have them. This change also restructures the ELF loader since it's main function was quite long and doing multiple jobs. It stops passing the architecture and operating system to the ObjectFile constructor, since those might not be known at the very top of the constructor. Instead, those default to Uknown*, and then are filled in in the constructor body if appropriate. This removes a lot of plumbing that was hard to actually use in practice. It also introduces a mechanism to collect generic object file formats so that they can be tried one by one by the general createObjectFile function, rather than listing them all there one by one. It's unlikely that new types of object files will need to be added in a modular way without being able to modify the core loader code, but it's cleaner to have that abstraction and modularization like is already there for process loaders. Finally, to make it possible to share the code which handles zipped files for both true object files and also files which will be loaded into memory but are just blobs, that mechanism is pulled out into a new class called ImageFileData. It holds a collection of segments which are set up by the object file and may refer to regions of the original file, buffers maintained elsewhere, or even nothing to support bss-es. shared_ptr is used to make it easier to keep track of that information without having to do so explicitly or worry about deleting a buffer before everyone was done using it.

2019-10-12arch,base: Separate the idea of a memory image and object file.Gabe Black
A memory image can be described by an object file, but an object file is more than a memory image. Also, it makes sense to manipulate a memory image to, for instance, change how it's loaded into memory. That takes on larger implications (relocations, the entry point, symbols, etc.) when talking about the whole object file, and also modifies aspects which may not need to change. For instance if an image needs to be loaded into memory at addresses different from what's in the object file, but other things like symbols need to stay unmodified.

2019-10-10arch,base: Stop loading the interpreter in ElfObject.Gabe Black
The interpreter is a separate object file, and while it's convenient to hide loading it in the code which loads the main object file, it breaks the conceptual abstraction since you only asked it to load the main object file. Also, this makes every object file format reimplement the idea of loading the interpreter. Admittedly only ELF recognizes and sets up an interpreter, but other formats conceptually could too. This does move that limitted hypothetical redundancy out of the object file formats and moves it into the process objects, but I think conceptually that's where it belongs. It would also probably be pretty easy to add a method to the base Process class that would handle loading an image and also the interpreter image. This change does not (yet) separate reading symbol tables.

2019-10-10arch, base: Stop assuming object files have three segments.Gabe Black
The ObjectFile class has hardcoded assumptions that there are three segments, text, bss and data. There are some files which have one "segment" like raw files, where the entire file's contents are considered a single segment. There are also ELF files which can have an arbitrary number of segments, and those segments can hold any number of sections, including the text, data and/or bss sections. Removing this assumption frees up some object file formats from having to twist themselves to fit in that structure, possibly introducing ambiguities when some segments may fulfill multiple roles.

2016-03-17base: add symbol support for dynamic librariesBrandon Potter
Libraries are loaded into the process address space using the mmap system call. Conveniently, this happens to be a good time to update the process symbol table with the library's incoming symbols so we handle the table update from within the system call. This works just like an application's normal symbols. The only difference between a dynamic library and a main executable is when the symbol table update occurs. The symbol table update for an executable happens at program load time and is finished before the process ever begins executing. Since dynamic linking happens at runtime, the symbol loading happens after the library is first loaded into the process address space. The library binary is examined at this time for a symbol section and that section is parsed for symbol types with specific bindings (global, local, weak). Subsequently, these symbols are added to the table and are available for use by gem5 for things like trace generation. Checkpointing should work just as it did previously. The address space (and therefore the library) will be recorded and the symbol table will be entirely recorded. (It's not possible to do anything clever like checkpoint a program and then load the program back with different libraries with LD_LIBRARY_PATH, because the library becomes part of the address space after being loaded.)

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.
