If an nonspeculative instruction has a fault it might not be in the
nonSpecInsts map.

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

This change fixes a small bug in the arm copyRegs() code where some registers
wouldn't be copied if the processor was in a mode other than MODE_USER.
Additionally, this change simplifies the way the O3 switchCpu code works by
utilizing TheISA::copyRegs() to copy the required context information
rather than the adhoc copying that goes on in the CPU model. The current code
makes assumptions about the visibility of int and float registers that aren't
true for all architectures in FS mode.

Consolidate all code to handle ITSTATE in the PCState object rather than
touching a variety of structures/objects.
|
|
|
|
The comment in the code suggests that the checking granularity should be 16
bytes, however in reality the shift by 8 is 256 bytes which seems much
larger than required.

Get rid of unused members and use base types rather than derrived values
where possible to limit amount of state.

non-cache.
This change fixes the problem for all the cases we actively use. If you want to try
more creative I/O device attachments (E.g. sharing an L2), this won't work. You
would need another level of caching between the I/O device and the cache
(which you actually need anyway with our current code to make sure writes
propagate). This is required so that you can mark the cache in between as
top level and it won't try to send ownership of a block to the I/O device.
Asserts have been added that should catch any issues.
|
|
Without this change the a store can be issued to the cache multiple times.
If this case occurs when the l1 cache is out of mshrs (and thus blocked)
the processor will never make forward progress because each cycle it will
send a single request using the recently freed mshr and not completing the
multipart store. This will continue forever.

Fixes two of the SMT fetch policies in O3CPU that were returning the count
of instructions in the IQ or LSQ rather than the thread ID to fetch from.

If there is an outstanding table walk and no other activity in the CPU
it can go to sleep and never wake up. This change makes the instruction
queue always active if the CPU is waiting for a store to translate.
If Gabe changes the way this code works then the below should be removed
as indicated by the todo.
|

|

|
|
In this case we need to throw away the TLB miss, not assume it was the
one we were waiting for.
|
|
|
|
|
|
When a table walk is initiated by the fetch stage, the CPU can
potentially move to the idle state and never wake up.
The fetch stage must call cpu->wakeCPU() when a translation completes
(in finishTranslation()).
|
|
Some ISAs (like ARM) relies on hardware page table walkers. For those ISAs,
when a TLB miss occurs, initiateTranslation() can return with NoFault but with
the translation unfinished.
Instructions experiencing a delayed translation due to a hardware page table
walk are deferred until the translation completes and kept into the IQ. In
order to keep track of them, the IQ has been augmented with a queue of the
outstanding delayed memory instructions. When their translation completes,
instructions are re-executed (only their initiateAccess() was already
executed; their DTB translation is now skipped). The IEW stage has been
modified to support such a 2-pass execution.

Updated patches from Rick Strong's set that modify performance counters for
McPAT
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Small L1 caches are connected to the TLB walkers when caches are used. This
allows them to participate in the coherence protocol properly.

Without this change 0 is always used for the youngest sequence number if
a squash occured and the ROB was empty (E.g. an instruction is marked
serializeAfter or a fetch stall prevents other instructions from issuing).
Using 0 there is a race to rename where an instruction that committed the
same cycle as the squashing instruction can have it's renamed state undone
by the squash using sequence number 0.
|
|
I'm not positive this is the correct fix, but it's working right now.
Either we need to do something like this, prevent the misc reg from being renamed at all,
or there something else going on. We need to find the root cause as to why
this is only a problem sometimes.
|
|
|
|
The squash inside the fetch unit should not attempt to remove them from the
branch predictor as non-control instructions are not pushed into the predictor.
|
|
This patch prevents the prefetch being added to the instCommit queue twice.
|
|
|
|
|
|
When this condition occurs the cpu should restart the fetch stage to fetch from
the original execution path. Fault handling in the commit stage is cleaned up a
little bit so the control flow is simplier. Finally, if an instruction is being
used to carry a fault it isn't executed, so the fault propagates appropriately.
|
|
This step makes it easy to replace the accessor functions
(which still access a global variable) with ones that access
per-thread curTick values.
|
|
These files really aren't general enough to belong in src/base.
This patch doesn't reorder include lines, leaving them unsorted
in many cases, but Nate's magic script will fix that up shortly.
--HG--
rename : src/base/sched_list.hh => src/cpu/sched_list.hh
rename : src/base/timebuf.hh => src/cpu/timebuf.hh

The store queue doesn't need to be ISA specific and architectures can
frequently store more than an int registers worth of data. A 128 bits seems
more common, but even 256 bits may be appropriate. Pretty much anything less
than a cache line size is buildable.
|
|
For SPARC ASIs are added to the ExtMachInst. If the ASI is changed simply
marking the instruction as Serializing isn't enough beacuse that only
stops rename. This provides a mechanism to squash all the instructions
and refetch them

until commit.
ARM instructions updating cumulative flags (ARM FP exceptions and saturation
flags) are not serialized.
Added aliases for ARM FP exceptions and saturation flags in FPSCR. Removed
write accesses to the FP condition codes for most ARM VFP instructions: only
VCMP and VCMPE instructions update the FP condition codes. Removed a potential
cause of seg. faults in the O3 model for NEON memory macro-ops (ARM).

This change makes O3 flatten floating point destination registers, and also
fixes misc register flattening so that it's correctly repositioned relative to
the resized regions for integer and floating point indices.
It also fixes some overly long lines.

This happens on ARM instructions when they update the IT state bits.
Code and associated comment was copied from execute() and initiateAcc() methods
