There are cases where the IEW adds a non-speculative instruction to
the IQ twice. This can happen if an instruction is flagged as
IsMemBarrier and IsNonSpeculative. Avoid adding non-speculative
instructions in the IEW to the IQ by checking if it has been added
already.

This constant is, first, a #define, and second only used in one place.
In that one place, it appears that the code it guards is no longer
necessary in general. It was originally written to avoid refetching a
block of data that you're still in, even if you've moved slightly
farther in it because you're skipping the next instruction due to an
annulled branch delay slot. In reality however, in SPARC, the one ISA
I'm aware of which has this sort of branching behavior, the PC state
object will correctly determine that no branch is happening in these
cases. Code lower down in the loop will then recompute where fetching
should continue based on the next PC, automatically skipping the
annulled branch slot without misinterpretting the gap as a branch.
This change therefore also removes this block of code.

When a fault happens in fetch in O3, a dummy inst is created to carry
the fault through the pipeline to commit, but conceptually there isn't
actually any instruction since we failed to fetch one.
This change marks the dummy instruction as NotAnInst, and when any
such instruction gets to commit, the fault object associated with it
is invoked and passed a null static inst pointer instead of a pointer
to the dummy inst.

CPUs have historically instantiated the architecture specific version
of the TLBs to avoid a virtual function call, making them a little bit
more dependent on what the current ISA is. Some simple performance
measurement, the x86 twolf regression on the atomic CPU, shows that
there isn't actually any performance benefit, and if anything the
simulator goes slightly faster (although still within margin of error)
when the TLB functions are virtual.
This change switches everything outside of the architectures themselves
to use the generic BaseTLB type, and then inside the ISA for them to
cast that to their architecture specific type to call into architecture
specific interfaces.
The ARM TLB needed the most adjustment since it was using non-standard
translation function signatures. Specifically, they all took an extra
"type" parameter which defaulted to normal, and translateTiming
returned a Fault. translateTiming actually doesn't need to return a
Fault because everywhere that consumed it just stored it into a
structure which it then deleted(?), and the fault is stored in the
Translation object when the translation is done.
A little more work is needed to fully obviate the arch/tlb.hh header,
so the TheISA::TLB type is still visible outside of the ISAs.
Specifically, the TlbEntry type is used in the generic PageTable which
lives in src/mem.

The size of the store entry in the LSQ is used to indicate a fault in

predicated false will also have 0 size in the corresponding store
queue entry. This changeset ensures that we check if the store was
predicated false before checking the size field. This way we avoid
printing stores as faulting when they are only predicated false.

The O3CPU allows stores to commit before they are completed and as
soon as they enter the store queue. This is the reason why stores are
verified by the the checker CPU, separately, once they complete
and after they are sent to the memory.
Store conditionals, on the other hand, have an additional writeback
stage in the pipeline as they return their result to a register,
similarly to loads. This is the reason why they do not commit
before they receive a response from the memory. This allows store
conditionals to be verified by the checker CPU as soon as they
commit in the same way as all other non-store insturctions.
At the same time, the presense of a checker CPU should not require
changes to way we handle instructions. This change removes explicit
calls to:
* incorrectly set the extra data of the request to 0 (a subsequent
call to completeAcc already does this without making any ISA
assumptions about the return value of the failed store conditional)
* complete failing store conditionals

This patch adds some more functionality to the cpu model and the arch to
interface with the vector register file.
This change consists mainly of augmenting ThreadContexts and ExecContexts
with calls to get/set full vectors, underlying microarchitectural elements
or lanes. Those are meant to interface with the vector register file. All
classes that implement this interface also get an appropriate implementation.
This requires implementing the vector register file for the different
models using the VecRegContainer class.
This change set also updates the Result abstraction to contemplate the
possibility of having a vector as result.
The changes also affect how the remote_gdb connection works.
There are some (nasty) side effects, such as the need to define dummy
numPhysVecRegs parameter values for architectures that do not implement
vector extensions.

Mimic the changes done on the architectural register indexes on the
physical register indexes. This is specific to the O3 model. The
structure, called PhysRegId, contains a register class, a register
index and a flat register index. The flat register index is kept
because it is useful in some cases where the type of register is not
important (dependency graph and scoreboard for example). Instead
of directly using the structure, most of the code is working with
a const PhysRegId* (typedef to PhysRegIdPtr). The actual PhysRegId
objects are stored in the regFile.

If a (regular) store is followed closely enough by a locked load that
overlaps, the LSQ will forward the store's data to the locked load and
never tell the cache about the locked load. As a result, the cache will
not lock the address and all future store-conditional requests on that
address will fail. This patch fixes that by preventing forwarding if
the memory request is a locked load and adding another case to the LSQ
forwarding logic that delays the locked load request if a store in the
LSQ contains all or part of the data that is requested.

simulations
Modifies the clone system call and adds execve system call. Requires allowing
processes to steal thread contexts from other processes in the same system
object and the ability to detach pieces of process state (such as MemState)
to allow dynamic sharing.
|
|
This changeset adds functionality that allows system calls to retry without
affecting thread context state such as the program counter or register values
for the associated thread context (when system calls return with a retry
fault).
This functionality is needed to solve problems with blocking system calls
in multi-process or multi-threaded simulations where information is passed
between processes/threads. Blocking system calls can cause deadlock because
the simulator itself is single threaded. There is only a single thread
servicing the event queue which can cause deadlock if the thread hits a
blocking system call instruction.
To illustrate the problem, consider two processes using the producer/consumer
sharing model. The processes can use file descriptors and the read and write
calls to pass information to one another. If the consumer calls the blocking
read system call before the producer has produced anything, the call will
block the event queue (while executing the system call instruction) and
deadlock the simulation.
The solution implemented in this changeset is to recognize that the system
calls will block and then generate a special retry fault. The fault will
be sent back up through the function call chain until it is exposed to the
cpu model's pipeline where the fault becomes visible. The fault will trigger
the cpu model to replay the instruction at a future tick where the call has
a chance to succeed without actually going into a blocking state.
In subsequent patches, we recognize that a syscall will block by calling a
non-blocking poll (from inside the system call implementation) and checking
for events. When events show up during the poll, it signifies that the call
would not have blocked and the syscall is allowed to proceed (calling an
underlying host system call if necessary). If no events are returned from the
poll, we generate the fault and try the instruction for the thread context
at a distant tick. Note that retrying every tick is not efficient.
As an aside, the simulator has some multi-threading support for the event
queue, but it is not used by default and needs work. Even if the event queue
was completely multi-threaded, meaning that there is a hardware thread on
the host servicing a single simulator thread contexts with a 1:1 mapping
between them, it's still possible to run into deadlock due to the event queue
barriers on quantum boundaries. The solution of replaying at a later tick
is the simplest solution and solves the problem generally.

The target of taken conditional direct branches does not
need to be resolved in IEW: the target can be computed at
decode, usually using the decoded instruction word and the PC.
The higher-than-necessary penalty is taken only on conditional
branches that are predicted taken but miss in the BTB. Thus,
this is mostly inconsequential on IPC if the BTB is big/associative
enough (fewer capacity/conflict misses). Nonetheless, what gem5
simulates is not representative of how conditional branch targets
can be handled.

cachePorts currently constrains the number of store packets written to the
D-Cache each cycle), but loads currently affect this variable. This leads
to unexpected congestion (e.g., setting cachePorts to a realistic 1 will

this cycle). In the absence of arbitration, this patch decouples how many

CPUs, ThreadID is unnecessary as the CPUs can identify the requesting
thread through sideband info (SenderState / LSQ entries) or ContextID
offset from the base ContextID for a cpu.

Add functionality to the BaseCPU that will put the entire CPU into a low-power
idle state whenever all threads in it are idle.

fu_pool and inst_queue were using -1 for "no such FU" and -2 for "all those
FUs are busy at the moment" when requesting for a FU and replying. This
patch introduces new constants NoCapableFU and NoFreeFU respectively.
In addition, the condition (idx == -2 || idx != -1) is equivalent to
(idx != -1), so this patch also simplifies that.

This changeset adds support for changing the simulator output
directory. This can be useful when the simulation goes through several
stages (e.g., a warming phase, a simulation phase, and a verification
phase) since it allows the output from each stage to be located in a
different directory. Relocation is done by calling core.setOutputDir()
from Python or simout.setOutputDirectory() from C++.
This change affects several parts of the design of the gem5's output
subsystem. First, files returned by an OutputDirectory instance (e.g.,
simout) are of the type OutputStream instead of a std::ostream. This
allows us to do some more book keeping and control re-opening of files
when the output directory is changed. Second, new subdirectories are
OutputDirectory instances, which should be used to create files in
that sub-directory.

This patch adds assertions that enforce that only invalidating snoops
will ever reach into the logic that tracks in-order load completion and
also invalidation of LL/SC (and MONITOR / MWAIT) monitors. Also adds
some comments to MSHR::replaceUpgrades().
|
|
Writes to locked memory addresses (LLSC) did not wake up the locking
CPU. This can lead to deadlocks on multi-core runs. In AtomicSimpleCPU,
recvAtomicSnoop was checking if the incoming packet was an invalidation
(isInvalidate) and only then handled a locked snoop. But, writes are
seen instead of invalidates when running without caches (fast-forward
configurations). As as simple fix, now handleLockedSnoop is also called
even if the incoming snoop packet are from writes.
|
|
This patch changes how the cache determines if snoops should be
forwarded from the memory side to the CPU side. Instead of having a
parameter, the cache now looks at the port connected on the CPU side,
and if it is a snooping port, then snoops are forwarded. Less error
prone, and less parameters to worry about.
The patch also tidies up the CPU classes to ensure that their I-side
port is not snooping by removing overrides to the snoop request
handler, such that snoop requests will panic via the default
MasterPort implement
