2016-07-21base: Add total() to Vector2D statDavid Guillen Fandos
This patch adds a total() function to the Vector2D stat type. Similar to other stats such as Scalar or Vector it is useful to be able to read the total for a given stat.
2016-07-11base: Fix inverted check in ELF .text size warningAndreas Sandberg
2016-07-11base: Convert ELF .text size check assertion to a warningAndreas Sandberg
The ELF loader currently has an assertion that checks if the size of a loaded .text secion is non-zero. This is useful in the general case as an empty text section normally indicates that there is something strange with the ELF file. However, asserting isn't very useful. This changeset converts the assert into a warning that tells the user that something strange is happening.

2016-06-20base: Fix multiple names to one address bug in SymbolTableAndreas Sandberg
The SymbolTable class currently assumes that at most one symbol can point to a given address. If multiple symbols point to the same address, only the first one gets added to the internal symbol table since there is already a match in the address table. This changeset converts the address table from a map into a multimap to be able to handle cases where an address maps to multiple symbols. Additionally, the insert method is changed to not fail if there is a match in the address table.

2016-04-27dev: Fix incorrect terminal backlog handlingAndreas Sandberg
The Terminal device currently uses the peek functionality in gem5's circular buffer implementation to send existing buffered content on the terminal when a new client attaches. This functionallity is however not implemented correctly and re-sends the same block multiple time. Add the required functionality to peek with an offset into the circular buffer and change the Terminal::accept() implementation to send the buffered contents.

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.)

2015-11-27base: Add support for changing output directoriesAndreas Sandberg
This changeset adds support for changing the simulator output directory. This can be useful when the simulation goes through several stages (e.g., a warming phase, a simulation phase, and a verification phase) since it allows the output from each stage to be located in a different directory. Relocation is done by calling core.setOutputDir() from Python or simout.setOutputDirectory() from C++. This change affects several parts of the design of the gem5's output subsystem. First, files returned by an OutputDirectory instance (e.g., simout) are of the type OutputStream instead of a std::ostream. This allows us to do some more book keeping and control re-opening of files when the output directory is changed. Second, new subdirectories are OutputDirectory instances, which should be used to create files in that sub-directory.

mem: support for gpu-style RMWs in ruby This patch adds support for GPU-style read-modify-write (RMW) operations in ruby. Such atomic operations are traditionally executed at the memory controller (instead of through an L1 cache using cache-line locking). Currently, this patch works by propogating operation functors through the memory system.

2016-01-11ext: Replace gzstream with iostream3 from zlib to avoid LGPLAndreas Hansson
This patch replaces the gzstream zlib wrapper with the iostream3 wrapper provided as part of zlib contributions. The main reason for the switch is to avoid including LGPL in the default gem5 build. iostream3 is provided under a more permissive license: The code is provided "as is", with the permission to use, copy, modify, distribute and sell it for any purpose without fee.
2015-12-18arm: remote GDB: rationalize structure of register offsetsBoris Shingarov
Currently, the wire format of register values in g- and G-packets is modelled using a union of uint8/16/32/64 arrays. The offset positions of each register are expressed as a "register count" scaled according to the width of the register in question. This results in counter- intuitive and error-prone "register count arithmetic", and some formats would even be altogether unrepresentable in such model, e.g. a 64-bit register following a 32-bit one would have a fractional index in the regs64 array. Another difficulty is that the array is allocated before the actual architecture of the workload is known (and therefore before the correct size for the array can be calculated). With this patch I propose a simpler mechanism for expressing the register set structure. In the new code, GdbRegCache is an abstract class; its subclasses contain straightforward structs reflecting the register representation. The determination whether to use e.g. the AArch32 vs. AArch64 register set (or SPARCv8 vs SPARCv9, etc.) is made by polymorphically dispatching getregs() to the concrete subclass. The subclass is not instantiated until it is needed for actual g-/G-packet processing, when the mode is already known. This patch is not meant to be merged in on its own, because it changes the contract between src/base/remote_gdb.* and src/arch/*/remote_gdb.*, so as it stands right now, it would break the other architectures. In this patch only the base and the ARM code are provided for review; once we agree on the structure, I will provide src/arch/*/remote_gdb.* for the other architectures; those patches could then be merged in together.

2015-11-05sim: Disable gzip compression for writefile pseudo instructionSascha Bischoff
The writefile pseudo instruction uses OutputDirectory::create and OutputDirectory::openFile to create the output files. However, by default these will check the file extention for .gz, and create a gzip compressed stream if the file ending matches. When writing out files, we want to write them out exactly as they are in the guest simulation, and never want to compress them with gzio. Additionally, this causes m5 writefile to fail when checking the error flags for the output steam. With this patch we add an additional no_gz argument to OutputDirectory::create and OutputDirectory::openFile which allows us to override the gzip compression. Therefore, for m5 writefile we disable the filename check, and always create a standard ostream.
2015-12-04sim: Add support for generating back traces on errorsAndreas Sandberg
Add functionality to generate a back trace if gem5 crashes (SIGABRT or SIGSEGV). The current implementation uses glibc's stack traversal support if available and stubs out the call to print_backtrace() otherwise.

2015-09-30base: remove Trace::enabled flagCurtis Dunham
The DTRACE() macro tests both Trace::enabled and the specific flag. This change uses the same administrative interface for enabling/disabling tracing, but masks the SimpleFlags settings directly. This eliminates a load for every DTRACE() test, e.g. DPRINTF.
2015-08-07base: Rewrite the CircleBuf to fix bugs and add serializationAndreas Sandberg
The CircleBuf class has at least one bug causing it to overwrite the wrong elements when wrapping. The current code has a lot of unused functionality and duplicated code. This changeset replaces the old implementation with a new version that supports serialization and arbitrary types in the buffer (not just char).
2015-08-07base: Declare a type for context IDsAndreas Sandberg
Context IDs used to be declared as ad hoc (usually as int). This changeset introduces a typedef for ContextIDs and a constant for invalid context IDs.
2015-08-07base: Use constexpr in CyclesAndreas Sandberg
Declare the constructor and all of the operators that don't change the state of a Cycles instance as constexpr. This makes it possible to use Cycles as a static constant and allows the compiler to evaulate simple expressions at compile time. An unfortunate side-effect of this is that we cannot use assertions since C++11 doesn't support them in constexpr functions. As a workaround, we throw an invalid_argument exception when the assert would have triggered. A nice side-effect of this is that the compiler will evaluate the "assertion" at compile time when an expression involving Cycles can be statically evaluated.
2015-07-07base: Add serialization support to Pixels and FrameBufferAndreas Sandberg
Serialize pixels as unsigned 32 bit integers by adding the required to_number() and stream operators. This is used by the FrameBuffer, which now implements the Serializable interface. Users of frame buffers are expected to serialize it into its own section by calling serializeSection().
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

2015-06-21base: Add a warn_if macroAndreas Sandberg
Add a warn if macro that is analogous to the panic_if and fatal_if.
2015-06-09base: Reset CircleBuf size on flush()Andreas Sandberg
The flush() method in CircleBuf resets the state of the circular buffer, but fails to set size to zero. This obviously confuses code that tries to determine the amount of data in the buffer. Set the size to zero on flush.
2015-05-26base: Allow multiple interleaved rangesAndreas Hansson
This patch changes how the address range calculates intersection such that a system can have a number of non-overlapping interleaved ranges without complaining. Without this patch we end up with a panic.
2015-05-23base: Redesign internal frame buffer handlingAndreas Sandberg
Currently, frame buffer handling in gem5 is quite ad hoc. In practice, we pass around naked pointers to raw pixel data and expect consumers to convert frame buffers using the (broken) VideoConverter. This changeset completely redesigns the way we handle frame buffers internally. In summary, it fixes several color conversion bugs, adds support for more color formats (e.g., big endian), and makes the code base easier to follow. In the new world, gem5 always represents pixel data using the Pixel struct when pixels need to be passed between different classes (e.g., a display controller and the VNC server). Producers of entire frames (e.g., display controllers) should use the FrameBuffer class to represent a frame. Frame producers are expected to create one instance of the FrameBuffer class in their constructors and register it with its consumers once. Consumers are expected to check the dimensions of the frame buffer when they consume it. Conversion between the external representation and the internal representation is supported for all common "true color" RGB formats of up to 32-bit color depth. The external pixel representation is expected to be between 1 and 4 bytes in either big endian or little endian. Color channels are assumed to be contiguous ranges of bits within each pixel word. The external pixel value is scaled to an 8-bit internal representation using a floating multiplication to map it to the entire 8-bit range.
2015-05-23base: Clean up bitmap generation codeAndreas Sandberg
The bitmap generation code is hard to follow and incorrectly uses the size of an enum member to calculate the size of a pixel. This changeset cleans up the code and adds some documentation.

2015-02-11base: Add compiler macros to add deprecation warningsAndreas Sandberg
Gcc and clang both provide an attribute that can be used to flag a function as deprecated at compile time. This changeset adds a gem5 compiler macro for that compiler feature. The macro can be used to indicate that a legacy API within gem5 has been deprecated and provide a graceful migration to the new API.
2015-02-11base: Do not dereference NULL in CompoundFlag creationAndreas Hansson
This patch fixes the CompoundFlag constructor, ensuring that it does not dereference NULL. Doing so has undefined behaviuor, and both clang and gcc's undefined-behaviour sanitiser was rather unhappy.
2015-02-03base: add an accessor and operators ==,!= to address rangesCurtis Dunham
2015-02-03base: Add XOR-based hashed address interleavingAndreas Hansson
This patch extends the current address interleaving with basic hashing support. Instead of directly comparing a number of address bits with a matching value, it is now possible to use two independent set of address bits XOR'ed together. This avoids issues where strided address patterns are heavily biased to a subset of the interleaved ranges.
2015-01-07base: Fix assigning between identical bitfields.Gabe Black
If two bitfields are of the same type, also implying that they have the same first and last bit positions, the existing implementation would copy the entire bitfield. That includes the __data member which is shared among all the bitfields, effectively overwritting the entire bitunion. This change also adjusts the write only signed bitfield assignment operator to be like the unsigned version, using "using" instead of implementing it again and calling down to the underlying implementation.
2014-12-05misc: Generalize GDB single stepping.Gabe Black
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.
2014-12-05misc: Add some utility functions for schedule inst commit events.Gabe Black

2014-12-05misc: Rename the GDB "Event" event class to InputEvent.Gabe Black

2014-12-05sim: Ensure GDB interrupts the simulation at an instruction boundary.Gabe Black
Use the comInstEventQueue to ensure GDB interrupts the simulation at an instruction boundary and not in the middle of a macroop, memory access, etc.
2014-12-05misc: Make the GDB register cache accessible in various sized chunks.Gabe Black
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.
2014-12-03sim: Make it possible to override the breakpoint length check.Gabe Black
The check which makes sure the length of the breakpoint being written is the same as a MachInst is only correct on fixed instruction width ISAs. Instead of incorrectly applying that check to all ISAs, this change makes that the default check and lets ISA specific GDB classes override it.

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.

This patch reverts changeset 9277177eccff which does not do what it was intended to do. In essence, we go back to implementing mkutctime much like the non-standard timegm extension.
