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.
2012-09-25base: Check for static_assert support and provide fallbackAndreas Sandberg
C++11 has support for static_asserts to provide compile-time assertion checking. This is very useful when testing, for example, structure sizes to make sure that the compiler got the right alignment or vector sizes.
2012-09-19AddrRange: Transition from Range<T> to AddrRangeAndreas Hansson
This patch takes the final plunge and transitions from the templated Range class to the more specific AddrRange. In doing so it changes the obvious Range<Addr> to AddrRange, and also bumps the range_map to be AddrRangeMap. In addition to the obvious changes, including the removal of redundant includes, this patch also does some house keeping in preparing for the introduction of address interleaving support in the ranges. The Range class is also stripped of all the functionality that is never used. --HG-- rename : src/base/range.hh => src/base/addr_range.hh rename : src/base/range_map.hh => src/base/addr_range_map.hh
2012-09-19AddrRange: Simplify Range by removing stream input/outputAndreas Hansson
This patch simplifies the Range class in preparation for the introduction of a more specific AddrRange class that allows interleaving/striping. The only place where the parsing was used was in the unit test.
2012-09-19AddrRange: Remove unused range_multimapAndreas Hansson
This patch simply removes the unused range_multimap in preparation for a more specific AddrRangeMap that also allows interleaving in addition to pure ranges.
2012-09-14scons: Use c++0x with gcc >= 4.4 instead of 4.6Andreas Hansson
This patch shifts the version of gcc for which we enable c++0x from 4.6 to 4.4 The more long term plan is to see what the c++0x features can bring and what level of support would be enabled simply by bumping the required version of gcc from 4.3 to 4.4. A few minor things had to be fixed in the code base, most notably the choice of a hashmap implementation. In the Ruby Sequencer there were also a few minor issues that gcc 4.4 was not too happy about.
2012-09-10NetBSD: Build on NetBSDPalle Lyckegaard
Minor patch against so building on NetBSD is possible.
2012-09-10AddrRange: Remove the unused range_ops headerAndreas Hansson
This patch prunes the range_ops header that is no longer used. The bridge used it to do filtering of address ranges, but this is changed since quite some time. Ultimately this patch aims to simplify the handling of ranges before specialising the AddrRange to an AddrRegion that also allows striping bits to be selected.
2012-09-10Inet: Remove the SackRange and its useAndreas Hansson
This patch aims to simplify the use of the Range class before introducing a more elaborate AddrRegion to replace the AddrRange. The SackRange is the only use of the range class besides address ranges, and the removal of this use makes for an easier modification of the range class. The functionlity that is removed with this patch is not used anywhere throughout the code base.
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.
2012-09-07Param: Transition to Cycles for relevant parametersAndreas Hansson
This patch is a first step to using Cycles as a parameter type. The main affected modules are the CPUs and the Ruby caches. There are definitely plenty more places that are affected, but this patch serves as a starting point to making the transition. An important part of this patch is to actually enable parameters to be specified as Param.Cycles which involves some changes to params.py.
2012-08-28Clock: Add a Cycles wrapper class and use where applicableAndreas Hansson
This patch addresses the comments and feedback on the preceding patch that reworks the clocks and now more clearly shows where cycles (relative cycle counts) are used to express time. Instead of bumping the existing patch I chose to make this a separate patch, merely to try and focus the discussion around a smaller set of changes. The two patches will be pushed together though. This changes done as part of this patch are mostly following directly from the introduction of the wrapper class, and change enough code to make things compile and run again. There are definitely more places where int/uint/Tick is still used to represent cycles, and it will take some time to chase them all down. Similarly, a lot of parameters should be changed from Param.Tick and Param.Unsigned to Param.Cycles. In addition, the use of curTick is questionable as there should not be an absolute cycle. Potential solutions can be built on top of this patch. There is a similar situation in the o3 CPU where lastRunningCycle is currently counting in Cycles, and is still an absolute time. More discussion to be had in other words. An additional change that would be appropriate in the future is to perform a similar wrapping of Tick and probably also introduce a Ticks class along with suitable operators for all these classes.
2012-08-21Clock: Make Tick unsigned and remove UTickAndreas Hansson
This patch makes the Tick unsigned and removes the UTick typedef. The ticks should never be negative, and there was only one major issue with removing it, caused by the o3 CPU using a -1 as an initial value. The patch has no impact on any regressions.
2012-08-06str: add an overloaded startswith() utility methodSteve Reinhardt
for various string types and use it in a few places.
2012-07-09Bus: Replace tickNextIdle and inRetry with a state variableAndreas Hansson
This patch adds a state enum and member variable in the bus, tracking the bus state, thus eliminating the need for tickNextIdle and inRetry, and fixing an issue that allowed the bus to be occupied by multiple packets at once (hopefully it also makes it easier to understand the code). The bus, in its current form, uses tickNextIdle and inRetry to keep track of the state of the bus. However, it only updates tickNextIdle _after_ forwarding a packet using sendTiming, and the result is that the bus is still seen as idle, and a module that receives the packet and starts transmitting new packets in zero time will still see the bus as idle (and this is done by a number of DMA devices). The issue can also be seen in isOccupied where the bus calls reschedule on an event instead of schedule. This patch addresses the problem by marking the bus as _not_ idle already by the time we conclude that the bus is not occupied and we will deal with the packet. As a result of not allowing multiple packets to occupy the bus, some regressions have slight changes in their statistics. A separate patch updates these accordingly. Further ahead, a follow-on patch will introduce a separate state variable for request/responses/snoop responses, and thus implement a split request/response bus with separate flow control for the different message types (even further ahead it will introduce a multi-layer bus).
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.
2012-06-05stats: when applying an operation to two vectors sum the components first.William Wang
Previously writing X/Y in a formula would result in: x[0]/y[0] + x[1]/y[1] In reality you want: (x[0] +x[1])/(y[0] + y[1])
2012-06-05sim: Remove FastAllocAli Saidi
While FastAlloc provides a small performance increase (~1.5%) over regular malloc it isn't thread safe. After removing FastAlloc and using tcmalloc I've seen a performance increase of 12% over libc malloc when running twolf for ARM.
2012-06-05stats: Provide a mechanism to get a callback when stats are dumped.Mitchell Hayenga
This mechanism is useful for dumping output that is correlated with stats dumping, but isn't tracked by the gem5 statistics.
2012-05-30Packet: Unify the use of PortID in packet and portAndreas Hansson
This patch removes the Packet::NodeID typedef and unifies it with the Port::PortId. The src and dest fields in the packet are used to hold a port id (e.g. in the bus), and thus the two should actually be the same. The typedef PortID is now global (in base/types.hh) and aligned with the ThreadID in terms of capitalisation and naming of the InvalidPortID constant. Before this patch, two flags were used for valid destination and source, rather than relying on a named value (InvalidPortID), and this is now redundant, as the src and dest field themselves are sufficient to tell whether the current value is a valid port identifier or not. Consequently, the VALID_SRC and VALID_DST are removed. As part of the cleaning up, a number of int parameters and local variables are updated to use PortID. Note that Ruby still has its own NodeID typedef. Furthermore, the MemObject getMaster/SlavePort still has an int idx parameter with a default value of -1 which should eventually change to PortID idx = InvalidPortID.

2012-05-10stats: track if the stats have been enabled and prevent requesting master idAli Saidi
Track the point in the initialization where statistics have been registered. After this point registering new masterIds can no longer work as some SimObjects may have sized stats vectors based on the previous value. If someone tries to register a masterId after this point the simulator executes fatal().
2012-05-09stats: use nan instead of no_valueNathan Binkert
2012-04-25clang/gcc: Use STL hash function for int64_t and uint64_tAndreas Hansson
This patch changes the guards for the definition of hash functions to also exclude the int64_t and uint64_t hash functions in the case we are using the c++0x STL <unordered_map> (and <hash>) or the TR1 version of the same header. Previously the guard only covered the hash function for strings, but it seems there is also no need to define a hash for the 64-bit integer types, and this has caused problems with builds on 32-bit Ubuntu.
2012-04-22base: Include cassert in trie.hh.Gabe Black
trie.hh uses assert, but it wasn't explicitly including cassert.
2012-04-14sim: Update some comments in trie.hh that were meant to go in the last change.Gabe Black
2012-04-14sim: A trie data structure specifically to speed up paging lookups.Gabe Black
This change adds a trie data structure which stores an arbitrary pointer type based on an address and a number of relevant bits. Then lookups can be done against the trie where the tree is traversed and the first legitimate match found is returned.
2012-04-14clang/gcc: Fix compilation issues with clang 3.0 and gcc 4.6Andreas Hansson
This patch addresses a number of minor issues that cause problems when compiling with clang >= 3.0 and gcc >= 4.6. Most importantly, it avoids using the deprecated ext/hash_map and instead uses unordered_map (and similarly so for the hash_set). To make use of the new STL containers, g++ and clang has to be invoked with "-std=c++0x", and this is now added for all gcc versions >= 4.6, and for clang >= 3.0. For gcc >= 4.3 and <= 4.5 and clang <= 3.0 we use the tr1 unordered_map to avoid the deprecation warning. The addition of c++0x in turn causes a few problems, as the compiler is more stringent and adds a number of new warnings. Below, the most important issues are enumerated: 1) the use of namespaces is more strict, e.g. for isnan, and all headers opening the entire namespace std are now fixed. 2) another other issue caused by the more stringent compiler is the narrowing of the embedded python, which used to be a char array, and is now unsigned char since there were values larger than 128. 3) a particularly odd issue that arose with the new c++0x behaviour is found in range.hh, where the operator< causes gcc to complain about the template type parsing (the "<" is interpreted as the beginning of a template argument), and the problem seems to be related to the begin/end members introduced for the range-type iteration, which is a new feature in c++11. As a minor update, this patch also fixes the build flags for the clang debug target that used to be shared with gcc and incorrectly use "-ggdb".
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.

2012-01-17MEM: 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.
