This patch transitions the EthPacketData from the ad-hoc
RefCountingPtr to the c++11 shared_ptr. There are no changes in
behaviour, and the code modifications are mainly replacing "new" with
"make_shared".
The bool casting operator for the shared_ptr is explicit, and we must
therefore either cast it, compare it to NULL (p != nullptr), double
negate it (!!p) or do a (p ? true : false).

Add the ability to build libgem5 without embedded Python or the
ability to configure with Python.
This is a prelude to a patch to allow config.ini files to be loaded
into libgem5 using only C++ which would make embedding gem5 within
other simulation systems easier.
This adds a few registration interfaces to things which cross
between Python and C++. Namely: stats dumping and SimObject resolving
|
|
The validity check is being changed from < to <= since the end of the range
is considered to be a part of it.
|
|
|
|
Another bunch of issues addressed.
|
|
Add some missing initialisation, and fix a handful benign resource
leaks (including some false positives).
|
|
Adds two public domain algorithms for determining number of set bits and also
whether a value is a power of two, uses the builtin that is available in GCC
and clang for popcount.
|
|
This patch does a bit of housekeeping on the string helper functions
and relies on the C++11 standard library where possible. It also does
away with our custom string hash as an implementation is already part
of the standard library.
|
|
Add an accessor to IniFile to list all the sections in the file.
|
|
A bit of revamping to get the CP annotate functionality to compile.
|
|
This patch ensures we adhere to the normal ostream usage rules, and
restore the flags after modifying them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
This patch changes the random number generator from the in-house
Mersenne twister to an implementation relying entirely on C++11 STL.
The format for the checkpointing of the twister is simplified. As the
functionality was never used this should not matter. Note that this
patch does not actually make use of the checkpointing
functionality. As the random number generator is not thread safe, it
may be sensible to create one generator per thread, system, or even
object. Until this is decided the status quo is maintained in that no
generator state is part of the checkpoint.
|
|
This patch ensures the functions can be used on const variables.
|
|
We currently use our own home-baked support for type-safe variadic
functions. This is confusing and somewhat limited (e.g., cprintf only
supports a limited number of arguments). This changeset converts all
uses of our internal varargs support to use C++11 variadic macros.
|
|
Add the macros M5_ATTR_FINAL and M5_ATTR_OVERRIDE which are defined to
final and override respectively if supported by the compiler. This is
done to allow a smooth transition to gcc >= 4.7.
|
|
If a bit field in a bit union specified as Bitfield<LSB, MSB> instead
of Bitfield<MSB, LSB> the code silently fails and the field is read as
zero. This changeset introduces a static assert that tests, at compile
time, that the bit order is correct.
|
|
The M5_PRAGMA_NORETURN macro was only used in for
__exit_message. Since the macro only holds a stub definition and all
functions with noreturn semantics use the M5_ATTR_NORETURN, this
macros is completely redundant.
|
|
RefCountingPtr is sometimes forward declared to avoid having to
include refcnt.hh. This does not work since we typically return
instances of RefCountingPtr rather than references to instances. The
only reason this currently works is that we include refcnt.hh in
cprintf.hh, which "leaks" the header to most other source files. This
changeset replaces such forward declarations with an include of
refcnt.hh.

A bit of pruning

This patch contains a new CPU model named `Minor'. Minor models a four
stage in-order execution pipeline (fetch lines, decompose into
macroops, decompose macroops into microops, execute).
The model was developed to support the ARM ISA but should be fixable
to support all the remaining gem5 ISAs. It currently also works for
Alpha, and regressions are included for ARM and Alpha (including Linux
boot).
Documentation for the model can be found in src/doc/inside-minor.doxygen and
its internal operations can be visualised using the Minorview tool
utils/minorview.py.
Minor was designed to be fairly simple and not to engage in a lot of
instruction annotation. As such, it currently has very few gathered
stats and may lack other gem5 features.
Minor is faster than the o3 model. Sample results:
Benchmark | Stat host_seconds (s)
---------------+--------v--------v--------
(on ARM, opt) | simple | o3 | minor
| timing | timing | timing
---------------+--------+--------+--------

this operator uses memcmp() to detect if two EthAddr object have the same
address, however memcmp() will return 0 if all bytes are equal. operator==
returns the return value of memcmp() to indicate whether or not two
address are equal. this is incorrect as it will always give the opposite of
the intended behavior. this patch fixes that problem.
|
|
per the IEEE 802 spec:
1) fixed broadcast() to ensure that all bytes are equal to 0xff.
2) fixed unicast() to ensure that bit 0 of the first byte is equal to 0
3) fixed multicast() to ensure that bit 0 of the first byte is equal to 1, and
that it is not a broadcast.
also the constructors in EthAddr are fixed so that all bytes of data are
initialized.

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.

This source for stats binds an object and a method / function from the object
to a stats object. This allows pulling out stats from object methods without
needing to go through a global, or static shim.
Syntax is somewhat unpleasant, but the templates and method pointer type
specification were quite tricky. Interface is very clean though; and similar
to .functor

Without this declaration, new clangs will complain about this value
being unused. It has no explicit use in the codebase, but it can be
useful to turn on all debugging flags while in a debugger to greatly
increase simulator verbosity.
|
|
The calling thread is undefined when the PollQueue services events.
This implies that PollEvents need to handle the case where they are
processed from a different thread than the thread that created the
event. This changeset adds temporary event queue migrations to the VNC
server, the ethernet tap device, and the terminal to protect them from
inter-thread calls.
|
|
This patch fixes the unit used in all error messages.
|
|
This snippet can be used to replace if + {panics, fatals, asserts} constructs.
The idea is to have both the condition checking and a verbose printout in a single statement. The interface is as follows:
panic_if(foo != bar, "These should be equal: foo %i bar %i", foo, bar);
fatal_if(foo != bar, "These should be equal: foo %i bar %i", foo, bar);
chatty_assert(foo == bar, "These should be equal: foo %i bar %i", foo, bar);
|
|
Small fixes to appease recent clang versions.
|
|
Currently fatal() ends the simulation in a normal fashion. This results in
the call stack getting lost when using a debugger and it is not always
possible to debug the simulation just from the information provided by the
printed error message. Even though the error is likely due to a user's fault,
the information available should not be thrown away. Hence, this patch to
call abort() from fatal().

gem5 makes the incorrect assumption that by binding a socket, it
effectively has allocated a port. Linux only allocates ports once you call
listen on the given socket, not when you call bind. So even if the port was
free when bind was called, another process (gem5 instance) could race in
between the bind & listen calls and steal the port. In the current code, if
the call to bind fails due to the port being in use (EADDRINUSE), gem5 retries
for a different port. However if listen fails, gem5 just panics. The fix is
testing the return value of listen and re-trying if it was due to EADDRINUSE.

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.

This patch adds a function to the HistStor class for adding two histograms.
This functionality is required for Ruby. It also adds support for printing
histograms in a single line.

There is a race between enabling asynchronous IO for a file descriptor
and IO events happening on that descriptor. A SIGIO won't normally be
delivered if an event is pending when asynchronous IO is
enabled. Instead, the signal will be raised the next time there is an
event on the FD. This changeset simulates a SIGIO by setting the
async_io flag when setting up asynchronous IO for an FD. This causes
the main event loop to poll all file descriptors to check for pending
IO. As a consequence of this, the old SIGALRM hack should no longer be
needed and is therefore removed.
|
|
The PollEvent class dynamically installs a SIGIO and SIGALRM handler
when a file handler is registered. Most signal handlers currently get
registered in the initSignals() function. This changeset moves the
SIGIO/SIGALRM handlers to initSignals() to live with the other signal
handlers. The original code installs SIGIO and SIGALRM with the
SA_RESTART option to prevent syscalls from returning EINTR. This
changeset consistently uses this flag for all signal handlers to
ensure that other signals that trigger asynchronous behavior (e.g.,
statistics dumping) do not cause undesirable EINTR returns.

This patch adds support for simulating with multiple threads, each of
which operates on an event queue. Each sim object specifies which eventq
is would like to be on. A custom barrier implementation is being added
using which eventqs synchronize.
The patch was tested in two different configurations:
1. ruby_network_test.py: in this simulation L1 cache controllers receive
requests from the cpu. The requests are replied to immediately without
any communication taking place with any other level.
2. twosys-tsunami-simple-atomic: this configuration simulates a client-server
system which are connected by an ethernet link.
We still lack the ability to communicate using message buffers or ports. But
other things like simulation start and end, synchronizing after every quantum
are working.

There is a potential race between enabling asynchronous IO and
selecting the target for the SIGIO signal. This changeset move the
F_SETOWN call to before the F_SETFL call that enables SIGIO
delivery. This ensures that signals are always sent to the correct
process.

gcc/g++ 4.4.7 complained about the operator= being undefined.
This changeset adds the operator.

This patch makes it possible to once again build gem5 without any
ISA. The main purpose is to enable work around the interconnect and
memory system without having to build any CPU models or device models.
The regress script is updated to include the NULL ISA target. Currently
no regressions make use of it, but all the testers could (and perhaps
should) transition to it.

This patch is a first step to getting NOISA working again. A number of
redundant includes make life more difficult than it has to be and this
patch simply removes them. There are also some redundant forward
declarations removed.

This patch changes the SConscript to build gem5 with libc++ on OSX as
the conventional libstdc++ does not have the C++11 constructs that the
current code base makes use of (e.g. std::forward).
Since this was the last use of the transitional TR1, the unordered map
and set header can now be simplified as well.
|

This patch changes how the initialisation of the VectorPrint struct is
done so that gcc 4.4 is happy again.
|
|
This patch addresses an issue with the text-based stats output which
resulted in Vector2D stats being printed without subnames in the event
that one of the dimensions was of length 1.
This patch also fixes the total printing for the 2D vector. Previously
totals were printed without explicitly stating that a total was being
printed. This has been rectified in this patch.
