2015-10-06sim: add ExecMacro to Exec* compound debug flagsSteve Reinhardt
Really should have been there in the first place, IMO. Makes debugging x86 execution a lot easier.
2015-02-16cpu: add support for outputing a protobuf formatted CPU traceAli Saidi
Doesn't support x86 due to static instruction representation. --HG-- rename : src/cpu/CPUTracers.py => src/cpu/InstPBTrace.py
2015-01-25cpu: Remove all notion that we know when the cpu is misspeculating.Ali Saidi
We have no way of knowing if a CPU model is on the wrong path with our execute-in-execute CPU models. Don't pretend that we do.
2015-01-25cpu: Put all CPU instruction tracers in a single fileAli Saidi
2015-01-25cpu: remove legion tracerAli Saidi
If someone wants to debug with legion again they can restore the code from the repository, but no need to have it hang around indefinately.
2014-11-06x86 isa: This patch attempts an implementation at mwait.Marc Orr
Mwait works as follows: 1. A cpu monitors an address of interest (monitor instruction) 2. A cpu calls mwait - this loads the cache line into that cpu's cache. 3. The cpu goes to sleep. 4. When another processor requests write permission for the line, it is evicted from the sleeping cpu's cache. This eviction is forwarded to the sleeping cpu, which then wakes up. Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>
2014-09-20cpu: Add ExecFlags debug flagMitch Hayenga
Adds a debug flag to print out the flags a instruction is tagged with.
2014-09-03arch, cpu: Factor out the ExecContext into a proper base classAndreas Sandberg
We currently generate and compile one version of the ISA code per CPU model. This is obviously wasting a lot of resources at compile time. This changeset factors out the interface into a separate ExecContext class, which also serves as documentation for the interface between CPUs and the ISA code. While doing so, this changeset also fixes up interface inconsistencies between the different CPU models. The main argument for using one set of ISA code per CPU model has always been performance as this avoid indirect branches in the generated code. However, this argument does not hold water. Booting Linux on a simulated ARM system running in atomic mode (opt/10.linux-boot/realview-simple-atomic) is actually 2% faster (compiled using clang 3.4) after applying this patch. Additionally, compilation time is decreased by 35%.
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
2014-05-09cpu: Add flag name printing to StaticInstAndrew Bardsley
This patch adds a the member function StaticInst::printFlags to allow all of an instruction's flags to be printed without using the individual is... member functions or resorting to exposing the 'flags' vector It also replaces the enum definition StaticInst::Flags with a Python-generated enumeration and adds to the enum generation mechanism in src/python/m5/params.py to allow Enums to be placed in namespaces other than Enums or, alternatively, in wrapper structs allowing them to be inherited by other classes (so populating that class's name-space with the enumeration element names).
2013-10-15cpu: clean up architectural register classificationSteve Reinhardt
Move from a poorly documented scheme where the mapping of unified architectural register indices to register classes is hardcoded all over to one where there's an enum for the register classes and a function that encapsulates the mapping.
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
2013-02-15cpu: Document exec trace flagsAndreas Sandberg
2012-11-02cpu: Add header files for checker CPUsAndreas Sandberg
In order to create reliable SWIG wrappers, we need to include the declaration of the wrapped class in the SWIG file. Previously, we didn't expose the declaration of checker CPUs. This patch adds header files for such CPUs and include them in the SWIG wrapper. --HG-- rename : src/cpu/dummy_checker_builder.cc => src/cpu/dummy_checker.cc rename : src/cpu/o3/checker_builder.cc => src/cpu/o3/checker.cc
2012-05-26ISA,CPU: Generalize and split out the components of the decode cache.Gabe Black
This will allow it to be specialized by the ISAs. The existing caching scheme is provided by the BasicDecodeCache in the GenericISA namespace and is built from the generalized components. --HG-- rename : src/cpu/decode_cache.cc => src/arch/generic/decode_cache.cc
2012-05-25ISA: Make the decode function part of the ISA's decoder.Gabe Black
2012-05-25Decode: Make the Decoder class defined per ISA.Gabe Black
--HG-- rename : src/cpu/decode.cc => src/arch/generic/decoder.cc rename : src/cpu/decode.hh => src/arch/generic/decoder.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.
2012-01-31Merge with head, hopefully the last time for this batch.Gabe Black
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.
2011-11-18SE/FS: Get rid of FULL_SYSTEM in the CPU directory.Gabe Black
2011-10-31SE/FS: Make the functions available from the TC consistent between SE and FS.Gabe Black
2011-09-30SE/FS: Build the devices in SE mode.Gabe Black
2011-09-09Decode: Pull instruction decoding out of the StaticInst class into its own.Gabe Black
This change pulls the instruction decoding machinery (including caches) out of the StaticInst class and puts it into its own class. This has a few intrinsic benefits. First, the StaticInst code, which has gotten to be quite large, gets simpler. Second, the code that handles decode caching is now separated out into its own component and can be looked at in isolation, making it easier to understand. I took the opportunity to restructure the code a bit which will hopefully also help. Beyond that, this change also lays some ground work for each ISA to have its own, potentially stateful decode object. We'd be able to include less contextualizing information in the ExtMachInst objects since that context would be applied at the decoder. Also, the decoder could "know" ahead of time that all the instructions it's going to see are going to be, for instance, 64 bit mode, and it will have one less thing to check when it decodes them. Because the decode caching mechanism has been separated out, it's now possible to have multiple caches which correspond to different types of decoding context. Having one cache for each element of the cross product of different configurations may become prohibitive, so it may be desirable to clear out the cache when relatively static state changes and not to have one for each setting. Because the decode function is no longer universally accessible as a static member of the StaticInst class, a new function was added to the ThreadContexts that returns the applicable decode object.
2011-07-15O3: Create a pipeline activity viewer for the O3 CPU model.Giacomo Gabrielli
Implemented a pipeline activity viewer as a python script (util/o3-pipeview.py) and modified O3 code base to support an extra trace flag (O3PipeView) for generating traces to be used as inputs by the tool.
2011-06-02scons: rename TraceFlags to DebugFlagsNathan Binkert
2011-05-13Trace: Allow printing ASIDs and selectively tracing based on user/kernel code.Chander Sudanthi
Debug flags are ExecUser, ExecKernel, and ExecAsid. ExecUser and ExecKernel are set by default when Exec is specified. Use minus sign with ExecUser or ExecKernel to remove user or kernel tracing respectively.
2011-04-15trace: reimplement the DTRACE function so it doesn't use a vectorNathan Binkert
At the same time, rename the trace flags to debug flags since they have broader usage than simply tracing. This means that --trace-flags is now --debug-flags and --trace-help is now --debug-help

2009-09-26O3: Add flag to control whether faulting instructions are traced.Steve Reinhardt
When enabled, faulting instructions appear in the trace twice (once when they fault and again when they're re-executed). This flag is set by the Exec compound flag for backwards compatibility.

2009-05-12inorder-tlb-cunit: merge the TLB as implicit to any memory accessKorey Sewell
TLBUnit no longer used and we also get rid of memAccSize and memAccFlags functions added to ISA and StaticInst since TLB is not a separate resource to acquire. Instead, TLB access is done before any read/write to memory and the result is checked before it's sent out to memory. * * *
2009-05-12inorder-o3: allow both to compile togetherKorey Sewell
allow InOrder and O3CPU to be compiled at the same time: need to make branch prediction filed shared by both models
2009-05-12inorder/alpha-isa: create eaComp object visible to StaticInst through ISAKorey Sewell
Remove subinstructions eaComp/memAcc since unused in CPU Models. Instead, create eaComp that is visible from StaticInst object. Gives InOrder model capability of generating address without actually initiating access * * *

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.

2007-03-10Rework the way SCons recurses into subdirectories, making itNathan Binkert
automatic. The point is that now a subdirectory can be added to the build process just by creating a SConscript file in it. The process has two passes. On the first pass, all subdirs of the root of the tree are searched for SConsopts files. These files contain any command line options that ought to be added for a particular subdirectory. On the second pass, all subdirs of the src directory are searched for SConscript files. These files describe how to build any given subdirectory. I have added a Source() function. Any file (relative to the directory in which the SConscript resides) passed to that function is added to the build. Clean up everything to take advantage of Source(). function is added to the list of files to be built. --HG-- extra : convert_revision : 103f6b490d2eb224436688c89cdc015211c4fd30
