2012-02-10SE/FS: Record the system pointer all the time for the simple CPU.Gabe Black
This pointer was only being stored in code that came from SE mode. The system pointer is always meaningful and available, so it should always be stored.

2012-01-31Thread: Use inherited baseCpu rather than cpu in SimpleThreadAndreas Hansson
This patch is a trivial simplification, removing the cpu pointer from SimpleThread and relying on the baseCpu pointer in ThreadState. The patch does not add or change any functionality, it merely cleans up the code.

2012-01-17MEM: Add port proxies instead of non-structural portsAndreas Hansson
Port proxies are used to replace non-structural ports, and thus enable all ports in the system to correspond to a structural entity. This has the advantage of accessing memory through the normal memory subsystem and thus allowing any constellation of distributed memories, address maps, etc. Most accesses are done through the "system port" that is used for loading binaries, debugging etc. For the entities that belong to the CPU, e.g. threads and thread contexts, they wrap the CPU data port in a port proxy. The following replacements are made: FunctionalPort > PortProxy TranslatingPort > SETranslatingPortProxy VirtualPort > FSTranslatingPortProxy --HG-- rename : src/mem/vport.cc => src/mem/fs_translating_port_proxy.cc rename : src/mem/vport.hh => src/mem/fs_translating_port_proxy.hh rename : src/mem/translating_port.cc => src/mem/se_translating_port_proxy.cc rename : src/mem/translating_port.hh => src/mem/se_translating_port_proxy.hh

Virtual ports need TLB data which means anything touching a file in the arch directory rebuilds any file that includes system.hh which in everything.
2010-10-31ISA,CPU,etc: Create an ISA defined PC type that abstracts out ISA behaviors.Gabe Black
This change is a low level and pervasive reorganization of how PCs are managed in M5. Back when Alpha was the only ISA, there were only 2 PCs to worry about, the PC and the NPC, and the lsb of the PC signaled whether or not you were in PAL mode. As other ISAs were added, we had to add an NNPC, micro PC and next micropc, x86 and ARM introduced variable length instruction sets, and ARM started to keep track of mode bits in the PC. Each CPU model handled PCs in its own custom way that needed to be updated individually to handle the new dimensions of variability, or, in the case of ARMs mode-bit-in-the-pc hack, the complexity could be hidden in the ISA at the ISA implementation's expense. Areas like the branch predictor hadn't been updated to handle branch delay slots or micropcs, and it turns out that had introduced a significant (10s of percent) performance bug in SPARC and to a lesser extend MIPS. Rather than perpetuate the problem by reworking O3 again to handle the PC features needed by x86, this change was introduced to rework PC handling in a more modular, transparent, and hopefully efficient way. PC type: Rather than having the superset of all possible elements of PC state declared in each of the CPU models, each ISA defines its own PCState type which has exactly the elements it needs. A cross product of canned PCState classes are defined in the new "generic" ISA directory for ISAs with/without delay slots and microcode. These are either typedef-ed or subclassed by each ISA. To read or write this structure through a *Context, you use the new pcState() accessor which reads or writes depending on whether it has an argument. If you just want the address of the current or next instruction or the current micro PC, you can get those through read-only accessors on either the PCState type or the *Contexts. These are instAddr(), nextInstAddr(), and microPC(). Note the move away from readPC. That name is ambiguous since it's not clear whether or not it should be the actual address to fetch from, or if it should have extra bits in it like the PAL mode bit. Each class is free to define its own functions to get at whatever values it needs however it needs to to be used in ISA specific code. Eventually Alpha's PAL mode bit could be moved out of the PC and into a separate field like ARM. These types can be reset to a particular pc (where npc = pc + sizeof(MachInst), nnpc = npc + sizeof(MachInst), upc = 0, nupc = 1 as appropriate), printed, serialized, and compared. There is a branching() function which encapsulates code in the CPU models that checked if an instruction branched or not. Exactly what that means in the context of branch delay slots which can skip an instruction when not taken is ambiguous, and ideally this function and its uses can be eliminated. PCStates also generally know how to advance themselves in various ways depending on if they point at an instruction, a microop, or the last microop of a macroop. More on that later. Ideally, accessing all the PCs at once when setting them will improve performance of M5 even though more data needs to be moved around. This is because often all the PCs need to be manipulated together, and by getting them all at once you avoid multiple function calls. Also, the PCs of a particular thread will have spatial locality in the cache. Previously they were grouped by element in arrays which spread out accesses. Advancing the PC: The PCs were previously managed entirely by the CPU which had to know about PC semantics, try to figure out which dimension to increment the PC in, what to set NPC/NNPC, etc. These decisions are best left to the ISA in conjunction with the PC type itself. Because most of the information about how to increment the PC (mainly what type of instruction it refers to) is contained in the instruction object, a new advancePC virtual function was added to the StaticInst class. Subclasses provide an implementation that moves around the right element of the PC with a minimal amount of decision making. In ISAs like Alpha, the instructions always simply assign NPC to PC without having to worry about micropcs, nnpcs, etc. The added cost of a virtual function call should be outweighed by not having to figure out as much about what to do with the PCs and mucking around with the extra elements. One drawback of making the StaticInsts advance the PC is that you have to actually have one to advance the PC. This would, superficially, seem to require decoding an instruction before fetch could advance. This is, as far as I can tell, realistic. fetch would advance through memory addresses, not PCs, perhaps predicting new memory addresses using existing ones. More sophisticated decisions about control flow would be made later on, after the instruction was decoded, and handed back to fetch. If branching needs to happen, some amount of decoding needs to happen to see that it's a branch, what the target is, etc. This could get a little more complicated if that gets done by the predecoder, but I'm choosing to ignore that for now. Variable length instructions: To handle variable length instructions in x86 and ARM, the predecoder now takes in the current PC by reference to the getExtMachInst function. It can modify the PC however it needs to (by setting NPC to be the PC + instruction length, for instance). This could be improved since the CPU doesn't know if the PC was modified and always has to write it back. ISA parser: To support the new API, all PC related operand types were removed from the parser and replaced with a PCState type. There are two warts on this implementation. First, as with all the other operand types, the PCState still has to have a valid operand type even though it doesn't use it. Second, using syntax like PCS.npc(target) doesn't work for two reasons, this looks like the syntax for operand type overriding, and the parser can't figure out if you're reading or writing. Instructions that use the PCS operand (which I've consistently called it) need to first read it into a local variable, manipulate it, and then write it back out. Return address stack: The return address stack needed a little extra help because, in the presence of branch delay slots, it has to merge together elements of the return PC and the call PC. To handle that, a buildRetPC utility function was added. There are basically only two versions in all the ISAs, but it didn't seem short enough to put into the generic ISA directory. Also, the branch predictor code in O3 and InOrder were adjusted so that they always store the PC of the actual call instruction in the RAS, not the next PC. If the call instruction is a microop, the next PC refers to the next microop in the same macroop which is probably not desirable. The buildRetPC function advances the PC intelligently to the next macroop (in an ISA specific way) so that that case works. Change in stats: There were no change in stats except in MIPS and SPARC in the O3 model. MIPS runs in about 9% fewer ticks. SPARC runs with 30%-50% fewer ticks, which could likely be improved further by setting call/return instruction flags and taking advantage of the RAS. TODO: Add != operators to the PCState classes, defined trivially to be !(a==b). Smooth out places where PCs are split apart, passed around, and put back together later. I think this might happen in SPARC's fault code. Add ISA specific constructors that allow setting PC elements without calling a bunch of accessors. Try to eliminate the need for the branching() function. Factor out Alpha's PAL mode pc bit into a separate flag field, and eliminate places where it's blindly masked out or tested in the PC.
2010-09-14CPU: Trim unnecessary includes from some common files.Gabe Black
This reduces the scope of those includes and makes it less likely for there to be a dependency loop. This also moves the hashing functions associated with ExtMachInst objects to be with the ExtMachInst definitions and out of utility.hh.
2010-09-13CPU: Get rid of the now unnecessary getInst/setInst family of functions.Gabe Black
This code is no longer needed because of the preceeding change which adds a StaticInstPtr parameter to the fault's invoke method, obviating the only use for this pair of functions.

Basically merge it in with Halted. Also had to get rid of a few other functions that called ThreadContext::deallocate(), including: - InOrderCPU's setThreadRescheduleCondition. - ThreadContext::exit(). This function was there to avoid terminating simulation when one thread out of a multi-thread workload exits, but we need to find a better (non-cpu-centric) way.

2008-11-02Add in Context IDs to the simulator. From now on, cpuId is almost never used,Lisa Hsu
the primary identifier for a hardware context should be contextId(). The concept of threads within a CPU remains, in the form of threadId() because sometimes you need to know which context within a cpu to manipulate.

across the subclasses. generally make it so that member data is _cpuId and accessor functions are cpuId(). The ID val comes from the python (default -1 if none provided), and if it is -1, the index of cpuList will be given. this has passed util/regress quick and se.py -n4 and fs.py -n4 as well as standard switch.
