2015-09-30isa,cpu: Add support for FS SMT InterruptsMitch Hayenga
Adds per-thread interrupt controllers and thread/context logic so that interrupts properly get routed in SMT systems.
2013-06-27sim: Add the notion of clock domains to all ClockedObjectsAkash Bagdia
This patch adds the notion of source- and derived-clock domains to the ClockedObjects. As such, all clock information is moved to the clock domain, and the ClockedObjects are grouped into domains. The clock domains are either source domains, with a specific clock period, or derived domains that have a parent domain and a divider (potentially chained). For piece of logic that runs at a derived clock (a ratio of the clock its parent is running at) the necessary derived clock domain is created from its corresponding parent clock domain. For now, the derived clock domain only supports a divider, thus ensuring a lower speed compared to its parent. Multiplier functionality implies a PLL logic that has not been modelled yet (create a separate clock instead). The clock domains should be used as a mechanism to provide a controllable clock source that affects clock for every clocked object lying beneath it. The clock of the domain can (in a future patch) be controlled by a handler responsible for dynamic frequency scaling of the respective clock domains. All the config scripts have been retro-fitted with clock domains. For the System a default SrcClockDomain is created. For CPUs that run at a different speed than the system, there is a seperate clock domain created. This domain incorporates the CPU and the associated caches. As before, Ruby runs under its own clock domain. The clock period of all domains are pre-computed, such that no virtual functions or multiplications are needed when calling clockPeriod. Instead, the clock period is pre-computed when any changes occur. For this to be possible, each clock domain tracks its children.
2013-01-07arch: Make the ISA class inherit from SimObjectAndreas Sandberg
The ISA class on stores the contents of ID registers on many architectures. In order to make reset values of such registers configurable, we make the class inherit from SimObject, which allows us to use the normal generated parameter headers. This patch introduces a Python helper method, BaseCPU.createThreads(), which creates a set of ISAs for each of the threads in an SMT system. Although it is currently only needed when creating multi-threaded CPUs, it should always be called before instantiating the system as this is an obvious place to configure ID registers identifying a thread/CPU.
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
