Adds a debug flag to print out the flags a instruction is tagged with.

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%.

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:

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).
|
|
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.

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.

In order to create reliable SWIG wrappers, we need to include the

This will allow it to be specialized by the ISAs. The existing caching scheme

Enables the CheckerCPU to be selected at runtime with the --checker option

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.

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.

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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.

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.

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.

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.

directory. The directory output and reference outputs have changed slightly. Now the directory is ALPHA_SE/test/<test>/<cpu_model>/, and for the reference stats <test>/ref/<arch>/<cpu_model>
Right now only non-SMT SE regression tests have been added back in. The rest are pending getting SMT working, and consolidating the FS configuration files.
Eventually support for different OSs can be added so you can specify which versions of the binary you want to run from one config file.
Note: mp-test1 doesn't have any reference stats because MP mode doesn't currently work. The test itself should probably work once the code is fixed.
