2019-08-07cpu-o3: fix atomic instructions non-speculativeJordi Vaquero
Fix problem with O3 and AMO instructions. At initial stages amo instruction is considered a type of non-speculative store. After the instruction has been commited and during the squash step, acquire_release version of the AMO operation is considered speculative, that differents results in an assert fault. This fix ensures that AMO instructions are always considered non-speculative, during early stages and during squas/removal of the instruction.

2019-07-28cpu-o3: Fix too strict assert condition in writeback()Gabor Dozsa
The assert() in the LSQ writeback() only allowed ReExec faults. However, a SplitRequest which completed the translation in PartialFault state (i.e. any but the very first cacheline translation failed) may end up here. The assert() condition is extended accordingly. The patch also removes the superfluous/unused Complete/Squashed states from the LSQ request. (The completion of the request is recorded in the flags still.)

2019-05-30cpu-o3: Add support for pinned writesGiacomo Gabrielli
This patch adds support for pinning registers for a certain number of consecutive writes. This is only relevant for timing CPU models (functional-only models are unaffected), and it is primarily needed to provide a realistic execution model for micro-coded operations whose microops can write to non-overlapping portions of a destination register, e.g. vector gather loads. In those cases, this mechanism can disable renaming for a sequence of consecutive writes, thus making the resulting execution more efficient: allocating a new physical register for each microop would introduce a read-modify-write chain of dependencies, while with these modifications the microops can write back in parallel. Please note that this new feature is only leveraged by O3CPU for the time being.

2019-02-08cpu: support atomic memory request type with AtomicOpFunctorTuan Ta
This patch enables all 4 CPU models (AtomicSimpleCPU, TimingSimpleCPU, MinorCPU and DerivO3CPU) to issue atomic memory (AMO) requests to memory system. Atomic memory instruction is treated as a special store instruction in all CPU models. In simple CPUs, an AMO request with an associated AtomicOpFunctor is simply sent to L1 dcache. In MinorCPU, an AMO request bypasses store buffer and waits for any conflicting store request(s) currently in the store buffer to retire before the AMO request is sent to the cache. AMO requests are not buffered in the store buffer, so their effects appear immediately in the cache. In DerivO3CPU, an AMO request is inserted in the store buffer so that it is delivered to the cache only after all previous stores are issued to the cache. Data forwarding between between an outstanding AMO in the store buffer and a subsequent load is not allowed since the AMO request does not hold valid data until it's executed in the cache. This implementation assumes that a target ISA implementation must insert enough memory fences as micro-ops around an atomic instruction to enforce a correct order of memory instructions with respect to its memory consistency model. Without extra memory fences, this implementation can allow AMOs and other memory instructions that do not conflict (i.e., not target the same address) to reorder. This implementation also assumes that atomic instructions execute within a cache line boundary since the cache for now is not able to execute an operation on two different cache lines in one single step. Therefore, ISAs like x86 that require multi-cache-line atomic instructions need to either use a pair of locking load and unlocking store or change the cache implementation to guarantee the atomicity of an atomic instruction.

2019-02-08cpu: fixed how O3 CPU executes an exit system callTuan Ta
When a thread executed an exit syscall in SE mode, the thread context was removed immediately in the same cycle, which left inflight squash operations and trap event incomplete. The problem happened when a new thread was assigned to the CPU later. The new thread started with some incomplete transactions of the previous thread (e.g., squashing). This problem could cause incorrect execution flow for the new thread (i.e., pc was not reset properly at the exit point), deadlock (i.e., some stage-to-stage signals were not reset) and incorrect rename map between logical and physical registers. This patch adds a new state called 'Halting' to the thread context and defers removing thread context from a CPU until a trap event initiated by an exit syscall execution is processed. This patch also makes sure that the removal of a thread context happens after all inflight transactions of the to-be-removed thread in the pipeline complete.

2019-02-01cpu, arch: Replace the CCReg type with RegVal.Gabe Black
Most architectures weren't using the CCReg type, and in x86 and arm it was already a uint64_t. Change-Id: I0b3d5e690e6b31db6f2627f449c89bde0f6750a6 Reviewed-on: https://gem5-review.googlesource.com/c/14515 Reviewed-by: Gabe Black <gabeblack@google.com> Maintainer: Gabe Black <gabeblack@google.com>
2019-01-31arch: cpu: Rename *FloatRegBits* to *FloatReg*.Gabe Black
Now that there's no plain FloatReg, there's no reason to distinguish FloatRegBits with a special suffix since it's the only way to read or write FP registers.

2019-01-25cpu, arch, arch-arm: Wire unused VecElem code in the O3 modelGiacomo Travaglini
VecElem code had been introduced in order to simulate change of renaming for vector registers. Most of the work is happening on the rename_map switchRenameMode. Change of renaming can happen after a squash in the pipeline. This patch is also changing the interface to the ISA part so that a PCState is used instead of ISA in order to check if rename mode has changed.

2019-01-24cpu-o3: O3 LSQ GeneralisationRekai Gonzalez-Alberquilla
This patch does a large modification of the LSQ in the O3 model. The main goal of the patch is to remove the 'an operation can be served with one or two memory requests' assumption that is present in the LSQ and the instruction with the req, reqLow, reqHigh triplet, and generalising it to operations that can be addressed with one request, and operations that require many requests, embodied in the SingleDataRequest and the SplitDataRequest. This modification has been done mimicking the minor model to an extent, shifting the responsibilities of dealing with VtoP translation and tracking the status and resources from the DynInst to the LSQ via the LSQRequest. The LSQRequest models the information concerning the operation, handles the creation of fragments for translation and request as well as assembling/splitting the data accordingly. With this modifications, the implementation of vector ISAs, particularly on the memory side, become more rich, as the new model permits a dissociation of the ISA characteristics as vector length, from the microarchitectural characteristics that govern how contiguous loads are executing, allowing exploration of different LSQ to DL1 bus widths to understand the tradeoffs in complexity and performance. Part of the complexities introduced stem from the fact that gem5 keeps a large amount of metadata regarding, in particular, memory operations, thus, when an instruction is squashed while some operation as TLB lookup or cache access is ongoing, when the relevant structure communicates to the LSQ that the operation is over, it tries to access some pieces of data that should have died when the instruction is squashed, leading to asserts, panics, or memory corruption. To ensure the correct behaviour, the LSQRequest rely on assesing who is their owner, and self-destroying if they detect their owner is done with the request, and there will be no subsequent action. For example, in the case of an instruction squashed whal the TLB is doing a walk to serve the translation, when the translation is served by the TLB, the LSQRequest detects that the instruction was squashed, and as the translation is done, no one else expect to access its information, and therefore, it self-destructs. Having destroyed the LSQRequest earlier, would lead to wrong behaviour as the TLB walk may access some fields of it.

2019-01-22arch: cpu: Stop passing around misc registers by reference.Gabe Black
These values are all basic integers (specifically uint64_t now), and so passing them by const & is actually less efficient since there's a extra level of indirection and an extra value, and the same sized value (a 64 bit pointer vs. a 64 bit int) is being passed around.
