printMemData is only used in DPRINTFs. If those are removed by compiling
m5.fast, that function is unused, gcc generates a warning, that gets turned
into an error, and the build fails. This change surrounds the function
definition with #if TRACING_ON so it only gets compiled in if the DPRINTFs do
to.

m5 doesnt do stats specific to binary and this resource request stat is probably only
useful for people who really know the ins/outs of the model anyway
|
|
the nextPC was getting sent to the branch predictor not the current PC, so
the RAS was returning the wrong PC and mispredicting everything.
|
|
replace priority queue with vector of lists(1 list per stage) and place inside a class
so that we have more control of when an instruction uses a particular schedule entry
...
also, this is the 1st step toward making the InOrderCPU fully parameterizable. See the
wiki for details on this process

remove the annotation 'virtual' from function declaration that isnt being derived from
|
|
|

|
this applies to multithreading models which would like to squash a thread on memory stall
|
|
|
|
- use InOrderBPred instead of Resource for DPRINTFs
- account for DELAY SLOT in updating RAS and in squashing
- don't let squashed instructions update the predictor
- the BTB needs to use the ASID not the TID to work for multithreaded programs
- add stats for BTB hits
|
|
also, remove inst-req stats as default.good for debugging
but in terms of pure processor stats they aren't useful
|
|
remove stall only when necessary
add debugging printfs
|
|
use nextCycle to calculate ticks after addition
|
|
when insts execute, they mark the time they finish to be used for subsequent isnts
they may need forwarding of data. However, the regdepmap was using the wrong
value to index into the destination operands of the instruction to be forwarded.
Thus, in some cases, we are checking to see if the 3rd destination register
for an instruction is executed at a certain time, when there is only 1 dest. register
valid. Thus, we get a bad, uninitialized time value that will stall forwarding
causing performance loss but still the correct execution.

make sure to only read 1 src reg. for write-hint and any other similar
'store' instruction. Reading the source reg when its not necessary
can cause the simulator to read from uninitialized values

Accessing traceData (to call setAddress() and/or setData())
after initiating a timing translation was causing crashes,
since a failed translation could delete the traceData
object before returning.
It turns out that there was never a need to access traceData
after initiating the translation, as the traced data was
always available earlier; this ordering was merely
historical. Furthermore, traceData->setAddress() and
traceData->setData() were being called both from the CPU
model and the ISA definition, often redundantly.
This patch standardizes all setAddress and setData calls
for memory instructions to be in the CPU models and not
in the ISA definition. It also moves those calls above
the translation calls to eliminate the crashes.

Make sure that instructions are dereferenced/deleted twice by marking they are
on the remove list

- on certain retry requests you can get an assertion failure
- fix by allowing the request to literally "Retry" itself
if it wasnt successful before, and then block any requests
through cache port while waiting for the cache to be
made available for access
|
|
only show requests processed when the resource is actually in use
|
|
- m5 line enforcement on use_def.cc,hh
|
|
add idle/run/utilization stats for each pipeline stage
|
|
each stage keeps track of insts_processed on a per_thread basis but we should
be keeping that on a total basis inorder to enforce stage width limits
|
|
set Active/Suspended/Halted status for threads. useful for system when determining
if/when to exit simulation
|
|
Halt is called from the exit() system call while
deallocate is unused. So to clear up things, just
use halt and remove deallocate.
|
|
when threads are switching in/out the CPU, we need to keep
track of special cases like branches. Add appropriate
variables in ThreadState t track this and then use
these variables when updating pc after context switch
|
|
this will be used for when a thread comes back from a cache miss, it needs to update the PCs
because the inst might of been a branch or delayslot in which the next PC isnt always
a straight addition
|
|
allow a thread to wakeup and be activated after
it has been in suspended state and another
thread is switched out. Need to give
pipeline stages a "activateThread" function
so that can get to their suspended instruction
when the time is right.
|
|
this prints out messages relative to what
threading model is being used (smt, switch-on-miss, single, etc.)
|
|
update address List and address Map to take
into account multiple threads
|
|
give resources their own specific
activity to do for a "suspend" event
instead of defaulting to deactivating the thread for a
suspend thread event. This really matters
for the fetch sequence unit which wants to remove the
thread from fetching while other units want to
ignore a thread suspension. If you deactivate a thread
in a resource then you may lose some of the allotted
bandwidth that the thread is taking up...
|
|
dont check total # of threads but instead all
active threads
|
|
update/add in the use of isThreadReady & isThreadSuspended
functions.Check in activateThread what list a thread is
on so it can be managed accordingly.
|
|
|
|
-Support ability to activate next ready thread after a cache miss
through the activateNextReadyContext/Thread() functions
-To support this a "readyList" of thread ids is added
-After a cache miss, thread will suspend and then call
activitynextreadythread
|
|
allow for events to schedule themselves later if desired. this is important
because of cases like where you need to activate a thread only after the previous
thread has been deactivated. The ordering there has to be enforced
