2014-08-26base: Add const to intmath and be more flexible with typingAndreas Hansson
This patch ensures the functions can be used on const variables.
2014-08-26base: Replace the internal varargs stuff with C++11 constructsAndreas Sandberg
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.
2014-08-26base: Add compiler macros for C++11 final/overrideAndreas Sandberg
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.
2014-08-26base: Add a static assert to check bit union rangesAndreas Sandberg
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.
2014-08-13base: Remove unused M5_PRAGMA_NORETURNAndreas Sandberg
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.
2014-08-13cpu: Don't forward declare RefCountingPtrAndreas Sandberg
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.
2014-08-10base: Remove unused filesAndreas Hansson
A bit of pruning
2014-07-23cpu: `Minor' in-order CPU modelAndrew Bardsley
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 ---------------+--------+--------+-------- 10.linux-boot | 169 | 1883 | 1075 10.mcf | 117 | 967 | 491 20.parser | 668 | 6315 | 3146 30.eon | 542 | 3413 | 2414 40.perlbmk | 2339 | 20905 | 11532 50.vortex | 122 | 1094 | 588 60.bzip2 | 2045 | 18061 | 9662 70.twolf | 207 | 2736 | 1036
2014-07-09base: fix operator== for comparing EthAddr objectsAnthony Gutierrez
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.
2014-07-02base: fix some bugs in EthAddrAnthony Gutierrez
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.
2014-05-31style: eliminate equality tests with true and falseSteve Reinhardt
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.
2014-05-09stats: Method stats sourceStephan Diestelhorst
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
2014-04-23base: explicitly suggest potential use of 'All' debug flagsCurtis Dunham
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.
2014-04-09dev: Protect PollEvent processing when running in parallel modeAndreas Sandberg
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.
2014-03-23base: Fix error message time unit (cycle -> tick)Andreas Hansson
This patch fixes the unit used in all error messages.
2014-03-07misc: Add panic_if / fatal_if / chatty_assertStephan Diestelhorst
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);
2014-03-07scons: Fixes uninitialized warnings issued by clangMitch Hayenga
Small fixes to appease recent clang versions.
2014-02-06base: calls abort() from fatalNilay Vaish
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().
2014-01-28base: Fix race condition in the socket listen functionMitch Hayenga
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. Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>
2014-01-24arm: Add support for ARMv8 (AArch64 & AArch32)ARM gem5 Developers
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.

2014-01-10stats: add function for adding two histogramsNilay Vaish
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.
2013-11-29base: Fix race in PollQueue and remove SIGALRM workaroundAndreas Sandberg
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.
2013-11-29base: Clean up signal handlingAndreas Sandberg
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.
2013-11-25sim: simulate with multiple threads and event queuesSteve Reinhardt ext:(%2C%20Nilay%20Vaish%20%3Cnilay%40cs.wisc.edu%3E%2C%20Ali%20Saidi%20%3CAli.Saidi%40ARM.com%3E)
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. Committed by: Nilay Vaish
2013-10-31base: Add support for ipv6 into inet.hh/inet.ccGeoffrey Blake
2013-10-07base: Fix a potential race in PollQueue::setupAsyncIOAndreas Sandberg
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.
2013-09-09stats: add operator= for DataWrapVec classNilay Vaish
gcc/g++ 4.4.7 complained about the operator= being undefined. This changeset adds the operator.

2013-09-04arch: Resurrect the NOISA build target and rename it NULLAndreas Hansson
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. --HG-- rename : build_opts/NOISA => build_opts/NULL rename : src/arch/noisa/SConsopts => src/arch/null/SConsopts rename : src/arch/noisa/cpu_dummy.hh => src/arch/null/cpu_dummy.hh rename : src/cpu/intr_control.cc => src/cpu/intr_control_noisa.cc
2013-09-04arch: Header clean up for NOISA resurrectionAndreas Hansson
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.
2013-09-04scons: Enable build on OSXAndreas Hansson
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.
2013-08-20base: Fix VectorPrint initialisationAndreas Hansson
This patch changes how the initialisation of the VectorPrint struct is done so that gcc 4.4 is happy again.
2013-08-19stats: Fix issue when printing 2D vectorsSascha Bischoff
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.
2013-07-15loader: Load weak symbols for function tracingDeyuan Guo
2013-06-27base: Fix address range granularity calculationAndreas Hansson
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.
2013-06-27stats: Remove printing of SparseHist totalSascha Bischoff
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.
2013-06-09stats: allow printing vectors on a single lineNilay Vaish
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.
2013-04-17base: load weak symbols from object fileDeyuan Guo ext:(%2C%20Nilay%20Vaish%20%3Cnilay%40cs.wisc.edu%3E)
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. Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>
2013-03-07base: Fix address range granularity calculationsAndreas Hansson
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.
2013-02-19scons: Fix warnings issued by clang 3.2svn (XCode 4.6)Andreas Hansson
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.
2013-02-19scons: Add warning for missing declarationsAndreas Hansson
This patch enables warnings for missing declarations. To avoid issues with SWIG-generated code, the warning is only applied to non-SWIG code.
2013-02-19scons: Fix up numerous warnings about name shadowingAndreas Hansson
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.
2013-02-19base: Fix a bug in the address interleavingAndreas Hansson
This patch fixes a minor (but important) typo in the matching of an address to an interleaved range.
2013-02-15loader: add a flattened device tree blob (dtb) objectAnthony Gutierrez
this adds a dtb_object so the loader can load in the dtb file for linux/android ARM kernels.
2013-02-10ruby: replace Time with Cycles in Message classNilay Vaish
Concomitant changes are being committed as well, including the io operator<< for the Cycles class.
2013-02-10base: add some mathematical operators to Cycles classNilay Vaish
2013-01-07scons: Enforce gcc >= 4.4 or clang >= 2.9 and c++0x supportAndreas Hansson
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...
2013-01-07scons: Remove stale compiler optionsAndreas Hansson
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.
2013-01-07base: Add support for merging of interleaved address rangesAndreas Hansson
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.
