2012-05-31Bus: Split the bus into a non-coherent and coherent busAndreas Hansson
This patch introduces a class hierarchy of buses, a non-coherent one, and a coherent one, splitting the existing bus functionality. By doing so it also enables further specialisation of the two types of buses. A non-coherent bus connects a number of non-snooping masters and slaves, and routes the request and response packets based on the address. The request packets issued by the master connected to a non-coherent bus could still snoop in caches attached to a coherent bus, as is the case with the I/O bus and memory bus in most system configurations. No snoops will, however, reach any master on the non-coherent bus itself. The non-coherent bus can be used as a template for modelling PCI, PCIe, and non-coherent AMBA and OCP buses, and is typically used for the I/O buses. A coherent bus connects a number of (potentially) snooping masters and slaves, and routes the request and response packets based on the address, and also forwards all requests to the snoopers and deals with the snoop responses. The coherent bus can be used as a template for modelling QPI, HyperTransport, ACE and coherent OCP buses, and is typically used for the L1-to-L2 buses and as the main system interconnect. The configuration scripts are updated to use a NoncoherentBus for all peripheral and I/O buses. A bit of minor tidying up has also been done. --HG-- rename : src/mem/bus.cc => src/mem/coherent_bus.cc rename : src/mem/bus.hh => src/mem/coherent_bus.hh rename : src/mem/bus.cc => src/mem/noncoherent_bus.cc rename : src/mem/bus.hh => src/mem/noncoherent_bus.hh
2012-03-09CheckerCPU: Make CheckerCPU runtime selectable instead of compile selectableGeoffrey Blake
Enables the CheckerCPU to be selected at runtime with the --checker option from the configs/example/fs.py and configs/example/se.py configuration files. Also merges with the SE/FS changes.
2012-03-01x86: Fix switching of CPUsNilay Vaish
This patch prevents creation of interrupt controller for cpus that will be switched in later
2012-02-13MEM: Introduce the master/slave port roles in the Python classesAndreas Hansson
This patch classifies all ports in Python as either Master or Slave and enforces a binding of master to slave. Conceptually, a master (such as a CPU or DMA port) issues requests, and receives responses, and conversely, a slave (such as a memory or a PIO device) receives requests and sends back responses. Currently there is no differentiation between coherent and non-coherent masters and slaves. The classification as master/slave also involves splitting the dual role port of the bus into a master and slave port and updating all the system assembly scripts to use the appropriate port. Similarly, the interrupt devices have to have their int_port split into a master and slave port. The intdev and its children have minimal changes to facilitate the extra port. Note that this patch does not enforce any port typing in the C++ world, it merely ensures that the Python objects have a notion of the port roles and are connected in an appropriate manner. This check is carried when two ports are connected, e.g. bus.master = memory.port. The following patches will make use of the classifications and specialise the C++ ports into masters and slaves.

2012-01-31CheckerCPU: Re-factor CheckerCPU to be compatible with current gem5Geoffrey Blake
Brings the CheckerCPU back to life to allow FS and SE checking of the O3CPU. These changes have only been tested with the ARM ISA. Other ISAs potentially require modification.

2012-01-17CPU: Moving towards a more general port across CPU modelsAndreas Hansson
This patch performs minimal changes to move the instruction and data ports from specialised subclasses to the base CPU (to the largest degree possible). Ultimately it servers to make the CPU(s) have a well-defined interface to the memory sub-system.

2011-03-26mips: cleanup ISA-specific codeKorey Sewell
*** (1): get rid of expandForMT function MIPS is the only ISA that cares about having a piece of ISA state integrate multiple threads so add constants for MIPS and relieve the other ISAs from having to define this. Also, InOrder was the only core that was actively calling this function * * * (2): get rid of corespecific type The CoreSpecific type was used as a proxy to pass in HW specific params to a MIPS CPU, but since MIPS FS hasnt been touched for awhile, it makes sense to not force every other ISA to use CoreSpecific as well use a special reset function to set it. That probably should go in a PowerOn reset fault anyway.

Updated patches from Rick Strong's set that modify performance counters for McPAT
2011-02-03Config: Keep track of uncached and cached ports separately.Gabe Black
This makes sure that the address ranges requested for caches and uncached ports don't conflict with each other, and that accesses which are always uncached (message signaled interrupts for instance) don't waste time passing through caches.
2011-02-01X86: Add L1 caches for the TLB walkers.Gabe Black
Small L1 caches are connected to the TLB walkers when caches are used. This allows them to participate in the coherence protocol properly.

2008-11-02make BaseCPU the provider of _cpuId, and cpuId() instead of being scatteredLisa Hsu
across the subclasses. generally make it so that member data is _cpuId and accessor functions are cpuId(). The ID val comes from the python (default -1 if none provided), and if it is -1, the index of cpuList will be given. this has passed util/regress quick and se.py -n4 and fs.py -n4 as well as standard switch.

2008-08-11params: Convert the CPU objects to use the auto generated param structs.Nathan Binkert
A whole bunch of stuff has been converted to use the new params stuff, but the CPU wasn't one of them. While we're at it, make some things a bit more stylish. Most of the work was done by Gabe, I just cleaned stuff up a bit more at the end.
