2012-04-06MEM: Enable multiple distributed generalized memoriesAndreas Hansson
This patch removes the assumption on having on single instance of PhysicalMemory, and enables a distributed memory where the individual memories in the system are each responsible for a single contiguous address range. All memories inherit from an AbstractMemory that encompasses the basic behaviuor of a random access memory, and provides untimed access methods. What was previously called PhysicalMemory is now SimpleMemory, and a subclass of AbstractMemory. All future types of memory controllers should inherit from AbstractMemory. To enable e.g. the atomic CPU and RubyPort to access the now distributed memory, the system has a wrapper class, called PhysicalMemory that is aware of all the memories in the system and their associated address ranges. This class thus acts as an infinitely-fast bus and performs address decoding for these "shortcut" accesses. Each memory can specify that it should not be part of the global address map (used e.g. by the functional memories by some testers). Moreover, each memory can be configured to be reported to the OS configuration table, useful for populating ATAG structures, and any potential ACPI tables. Checkpointing support currently assumes that all memories have the same size and organisation when creating and resuming from the checkpoint. A future patch will enable a more flexible re-organisation. --HG-- rename : src/mem/PhysicalMemory.py => src/mem/AbstractMemory.py rename : src/mem/PhysicalMemory.py => src/mem/SimpleMemory.py rename : src/mem/physical.cc => src/mem/abstract_mem.cc rename : src/mem/physical.hh => src/mem/abstract_mem.hh rename : src/mem/physical.cc => src/mem/simple_mem.cc rename : src/mem/physical.hh => src/mem/simple_mem.hh
2012-03-26range_map: Enable const find and iterationAndreas Hansson
This patch adds const access functions to the range_map to enable its use in a const context, similar to the STL container classes.
2012-03-19gcc: Clean-up of non-C++0x compliant code, first stepsAndreas Hansson
This patch cleans up a number of minor issues aiming to get closer to compliance with the C++0x standard as interpreted by gcc and clang (compile with std=c++0x and -pedantic-errors). In particular, the patch cleans up enums where the last item was succeded by a comma, namespaces closed by a curcly brace followed by a semi-colon, and the use of the GNU-extension typeof (replaced by templated functions). It does not address variable-length arrays, zero-size arrays, anonymous structs, range expressions in switch statements, and the use of long long. The generated CPU code also has a large number of issues that remain to be fixed, mainly related to overflows in implicit constant conversion (due to shifts).

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.

2012-01-31clang: Enable compiling gem5 using clang 2.9 and 3.0Koan-Sin Tan
This patch adds the necessary flags to the SConstruct and SConscript files for compiling using clang 2.9 and later (on Ubuntu et al and OSX XCode 4.2), and also cleans up a bunch of compiler warnings found by clang. Most of the warnings are related to hidden virtual functions, comparisons with unsigneds >= 0, and if-statements with empty bodies. A number of mismatches between struct and class are also fixed. clang 2.8 is not working as it has problems with class names that occur in multiple namespaces (e.g. Statistics in kernel_stats.hh). clang has a bug (http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=7247) which causes confusion between the container std::set and the function Packet::set, and this is currently addressed by not including the entire namespace std, but rather selecting e.g. "using std::vector" in the appropriate places.
2012-01-31util: implements "writefile" gem5 op to export file from guest to host ↵Dam Sunwoo
filesystem Usage: m5 writefile <filename> File will be created in the gem5 output folder with the identical filename. Implementation is largely based on the existing "readfile" functionality. Currently does not support exporting of folders.

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
2012-01-16Alpha: warn_once about broken PAL breakpoints.Steve Reinhardt
A recent changeset (aae12ce9f34c) removed support for PAL-mode breakpoints in Alpha, since it was awkward and likely unused. This patch lets a user know if they potentially run into this limitation.
2012-01-16debug: fix AllFlags::disable()Steve Reinhardt
Looks like copy-and-paste bug, apparently I'm the first person to ever use this since it's plainly broken.
2012-01-09stats: fix Vector2d to display stats correctly when y_subname is not specified.Dam Sunwoo
Vector2d stats with no y_subname were not displayed as the VectorPrint subname was not initialized correctly to reflect the empty field.
2012-01-09sim: Enable sampling of run-time for code-sections marked using pseudo insts.Prakash Ramrakhyani
This patch adds a mechanism to collect run time samples for specific portions of a benchmark, using work_begin and work_end pseudo instructions.It also enhances the histogram stat to report geometric mean.
2012-01-09Base: Fixed shift amount in genrand() to work with large numbersDam Sunwoo
The previous version didn't work correctly with max integer values (2^31-1 for 32-bit, 2^63-1 for 64bit version), causing "shift" to become -1. For smaller numbers, it wouldn't have caused functional errors, but would have resulted in more than necessary loops in the while loop. Special-cased cases when (max + 1 == 0) to prevent the ceilLog2 functions from failing.
2012-01-09MAC: Make gem5 compile and run on MacOSX 10.7.2Andreas Hansson
Adaptations to make gem5 compile and run on OSX 10.7.2, with a stock gcc 4.2.1 and the remaining dependencies from macports, i.e. python 2.7,.2 swig 2.0.4, mercurial 2.0. The changes include an adaptation of the SConstruct to handle non-library linker flags, and Darwin-specific code to find the memory usage of gem5. A number of Ruby files relied on ambigious uint (without the 32 suffix) which caused compilation errors.

Due to certain changes made via changeset 8229, the compilation was failing in certain cases. The compiler pointed to base/stats/mysql.hh for not naming a certain types like uint64_t. To rectify this, base/types.hh is being included in base/stats/mysql.hh.
