2019-03-14cpu: Refactor of Physical Register implementationAndrea Mondelli
The implementation of the PhyRegId class is shared between multiple cpu models. The o3/misc.hh should only be included in o3 models. This patch removes the dependencies between different model implementations, allowing to add new O3-like CPU model.

2019-02-27misc: Segmentation Fault during O3PipeView executionAndrea Mondelli
During the O3PipeView execution, a potential invalid iterator is used to Update the instruction storeTick field. If the store_idx iterator is the first() of the StoreQueue, the corresponding instruction is removed from the queue, leaving the iterator invalid and not usable in the TRACING_ON block. This patch uses the store_inst variable to access (and update) the instruction tick, instead of the (potential) invalid one.

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.

2019-01-24cpu-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.

2018-11-16cpu: Fix the usage of const DynInstPtrRekai Gonzalez-Alberquilla
Summary: Usage of const DynInstPtr& when possible and introduction of move operators to RefCountingPtr. In many places, scoped references to dynamic instructions do a copy of the DynInstPtr when a reference would do. This is detrimental to performance. On top of that, in case there is a need for reference tracking for debugging, the redundant copies make the process much more painful than it already is. Also, from the theoretical point of view, a function/method that defines a convenience name to access an instruction should not be considered an owner of the data, i.e., doing a copy and not a reference is not justified. On a related topic, C++11 introduces move semantics, and those are useful when, for example, there is a class modelling a HW structure that contains a list, and has a getHeadOfList function, to prevent doing a copy to an internal variable -> update pointer, remove from the list -> update pointer, return value making a copy to the assined variable -> update pointer, destroy the returned value -> update pointer.

This is caused by missing freeing the heads of DepGraph in IQ. IQ only clears out the heads when instructions reach writeback stage. If a instruction is squashed before writeback stage, its head of dependency graph, which holds the instruction's DynInstPtr, would not be cleared out. This prevents freeing the DynInst of the squahsed instruction even after it is committed.

2018-06-11misc: Using smart pointers for memory RequestsGiacomo Travaglini
This patch is changing the underlying type for RequestPtr from Request* to shared_ptr<Request>. Having memory requests being managed by smart pointers will simplify the code; it will also prevent memory leakage and dangling pointers.

2018-02-20cpu-o3: Don't add non-speculative mem barriers to the IQ twiceAndreas Sandberg
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.

2018-01-10alpha,arm,mips,power,riscv,sparc,x86,cpu: Get rid of ISA_HAS_DELAY_SLOT.Gabe Black
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.

2018-01-09cpu: Use the NotAnInst flag to avoid passing an inst to fetch faults.Gabe Black
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.

2017-12-22arch,cpu: "virtualize" the TLB interface.Gabe Black
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.
