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.
|
|
|
|
This patch fixes a bug in the granularity calculation. For example, if
the high bit is 6 (counting from 0) and we have one interleaving bit,
then the granularity is now 2 ** (6 - 1 + 1) = 64.
|
|
This patch removes the printing of the SparseHist total in the
stats.txt output file. This has been removed as a sparse histogram has
no total, and therefore this was printing out the value of a
non-local, unrelated variable.
|
|
This patch adds a new flag to specify if the data values for a given vector
should be printed in one line in the stats.txt file. The default behavior
will be to print the data in multiple lines. It makes changes to print
functions to enforce this behavior.

Without loading weak symbols into gem5, some function names and the given PC
cannot correspond correctly, because the binding attributes of unction names
in an ELF file are not only STB_GLOBAL or STB_LOCAL, but also STB_WEAK. This
patch adds a function for loading weak symbols.

This patch fixes a bug in the address range granularity
calculations. Previously it incorrectly used the high bit to establish
the size of the regions created, when it should really be looking at
the low bit.
|
|
This patch fixes the warnings that clang3.2svn emit due to the "-Wall"
flag. There is one case of an uninitialised value in the ARM neon ISA
description, and then a whole range of unused private fields that are
pruned.
|
|
This patch enables warnings for missing declarations. To avoid issues
with SWIG-generated code, the warning is only applied to non-SWIG
code.
|
|
This patch address the most important name shadowing warnings (as
produced when using gcc/clang with -Wshadow). There are many
locations where constructor parameters and function parameters shadow
local variables, but these are left unchanged.
|
|
This patch fixes a minor (but important) typo in the matching of an
address to an interleaved range.

this adds a dtb_object so the loader can load in the dtb
file for linux/android ARM kernels.

Concomitant changes are being committed as well, including the io operator<<
for the Cycles class.

This patch checks that the compiler in use is either gcc >= 4.4 or
clang >= 2.9. and enables building with --std=c++0x in all cases. As a
consequence, we can tidy up the hashmap and always have static_assert
available. If anyone wants to use alternative compilers, icc for
example supports c++0x to a similar level and could be added if
needed.
This patch opens up for a more elaborate use of c++0x features that
are present in gcc 4.4 and clang 2.9, e.g. auto typed variables,
variadic templates, rvalues and move semantics, and strongly typed
enums. There will be no going back on this one...

This patch simply prunes the SUNCC and ICC compiler options as they
are both sufficiently stale that they would have to be re-written from
scratch anyhow. The patch serves to clean things up before shifting to
a build environment that enforces basic c++11 compliance as done in
the following patch.

This patch adds support for merging a vector of interleaved address
ranges into a contigous range. The functionality will be used in the
interconnect and the PhysicalMemory to transform interleaved memory
ranges to contigous ranges before passing them on.
The actual use of the merging is appearing in future patches.
|
|
This patch adds support for interleaving bits for the address
ranges. What was previously just a start and end address, now has an
additional three fields, for the high bit, and number of bits to use
for interleaving, and a match value to compare against. If the number
of interleaving bits is set to zero it is effectively disabled.
A number of convenience functions are added to the range to enquire
about the interleaving, its granularity and the number of stripes it
is part of.
|
|
This patch cleans up the AddrRangeMap in preparation for the addition
of interleaving by removing unused code. The non-const editions of
find are never used, and hence the duplication is not needed.
|
|
This patch makes the start and end address private in a move to
prevent direct manipulation and matching of ranges based on these
fields. This is done so that a transition to ranges with interleaving
support is possible.
As a result of hiding the start and end, a number of member functions
are needed to perform the comparisons and manipulations that
previously took place directly on the members. An accessor function is
provided for the start address, and a function is added to test if an
address is within a range. As a result of the latter the != and ==
operator is also removed in favour of the member function. A member
function that returns a string representation is also created to allow
debug printing.
In general, this patch does not add any functionality, but it does
take us closer to a situation where interleaving (and more cleverness)
can be added under the bonnet without exposing it to the user. More on
that in a later patch.

This patch adds packet tracing to the communication monitor using a
protobuf as the mechanism for creating the trace.
If no file is specified, then the tracing is disabled. If a file is
specified, then for every packet that is successfully sent, a protobuf
message is serialized to the file.
|
|
This patch adds a _curTick variable to an eventq. This variable is updated
whenever an event is serviced in function serviceOne(), or all events upto
a particular time are processed in function serviceEvents(). This change
helps when there are eventqs that do not make use of curTick for scheduling
events.

When casting objects in the generated SWIG interfaces, SWIG uses
classical C-style casts ( (Foo *)bar; ). In some cases, this can
degenerate into the equivalent of a reinterpret_cast (mainly if only a
forward declaration of the type is available). This usually works for
most compilers, but it is known to break if multiple inheritance is
used anywhere in the object hierarchy.
This patch introduces the cxx_header attribute to Python SimObject
definitions, which should be used to specify a header to include in
the SWIG interface. The header should include the declaration of the
wrapped object. We currently don't enforce header the use of the
header attribute, but a warning will be generated for objects that do
not use it.

This patch ensures cases like %0.6u, %06f, and %.6u are processed correctly.
The case like %06f is ambiguous and was made to match printf. Also, this patch
removes the goto statement in cprintf.cc in favor of a function call.

This patch adds a VncInput base class which VncServer inherits from.
Another class can implement the same interface and be used instead
of the VncServer, for example a class that replays Vnc traffic.

This patch transitions the bus to use the AddrRange operations instead
of directly accessing the start and end. The change facilitates the
move to a more elaborate AddrRange class that also supports address
striping in the bus by specifying interleaving bits in the ranges.
Two new functions are added to the AddrRange to determine if two
ranges intersect, and if one is a subset of another. The bus
propagation of address ranges is also tweaked such that an update is
only propagated if the bus received information from all the
downstream slave modules. This avoids the iteration and need for the
cycle-breaking scheme that was previously used.

Newer Linux kernels require DTB (device tree blobs) to specify platform
configurations. The input DTB filename can be specified through gem5 parameters
in LinuxArmSystem.

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.

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.

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.

This patch simply removes the unused range_multimap in preparation for
a more specific AddrRangeMap that also allows interleaving in addition
to pure ranges.

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.

Minor patch against so building on NetBSD is possible.
