When checkpointing a system with a traffic generator, a warning is
produced so that the user is reminded serialization does not keep all
the traffic generator internal state.

This patch allows to instantiate a Traffic generator starting from a
generic SimObject, so that linking to a BaseTrafficGen only is no longer
mandatory. This permits SimObjects different than a BaseTrafficGen to
instantiate generators and to manually specify the MasterID they
will be using when generating memory requests.

The current traffic generator relies on a configuration file that
describes a small machine to generate stimuli. This configuration file
is usually generated by the gem5 Python configuration. This creates an
unnecessary and fragile step.
This changeset introduces a Python-based trace module. When
instantiated, the module exposes a start method that takes an iterable
object as a parameter (e.g., a generator). The iterable object is
expected to represent a list of generators that will be run one after
the other. For example:
system.tgen = PyTrafficGen()
m5.instantiate()
def trace():
yield system.tgen.createIdle(1000)
yield system.tgen.createExit(0)
system.tgen.start(trace())

The traffic generator currently assumes that it is always driven from
a configuration file. Split it into a base class (BaseTrafficGen) that
handles basic packet generation and a derived class that implements
the config handling (TrafficGen).

With this patch a gem5 System will store more info about its Masters.
While it was previously keeping track of the Master name and Master ID
only, it is now adding a per-Master pointer to the SimObject related to
the Master.
This will make it possible for a client to query a System for a Master
using either the master's name or the master's pointer.

state to be added to the TrafficGen configuration file. Entering this
state will cause the simulation to exit immediately. Please note that
if multiple TrafficGen instances have an EXIT state, the first of these

networktest is essentially a collection of synthetic traffic patterns

The traffic generator currently resolves relative trace paths relative
to gem5's current working directory. This can lead to surprising
results for relative paths where the expectation would normally be
that they are resolved relative to the configuration file. This
changeset implements config-relative trace file lookups. The old
behavior is kept as a fallback for configs that expect that behavior.

In general, the ThreadID parameter is unnecessary in the memory system
as the ContextID is what is used for the purposes of locks/wakeups.
Since we allocate sequential ContextIDs for each thread on MT-enabled
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.
This is a re-spin of 20264eb after the revert (bd1c6789) and includes
some fixes of that commit.

This patch allows the ruby random tester to use ruby ports that may only
support instr or data requests. This patch is similar to a previous changeset
(8932:1b2c17565ac8) that was unfortunately broken by subsequent changesets.
This current patch implements the support in a more straight-forward way.
Since retries are now tested when running the ruby random tester, this patch
splits up the retry and drain check behavior so that RubyPort children, such
as the GPUCoalescer, can perform those operations correctly without having to
duplicate code. Finally, the patch also includes better DPRINTFs for
debugging the tester.

This patch adds explicit overrides as this is now required when using
"-Wall" with clang >= 3.5, the latter now part of the most recent

As part of this patch, a few minor issues that clang >= 3.5 complains
about are also resolved (unused methods and variables).

The drain() call currently passes around a DrainManager pointer, which
is now completely pointless since there is only ever one global
DrainManager in the system. It also contains vestiges from the time
when SimObjects had to keep track of their child objects that needed
draining.
This changeset moves all of the DrainState handling to the Drainable
base class and changes the drain() and drainResume() calls to reflect
this. Particularly, the drain() call has been updated to take no
parameters (the DrainManager argument isn't needed) and return a
DrainState instead of an unsigned integer (there is no point returning
anything other than 0 or 1 any more). Drainable objects should return
either DrainState::Draining (equivalent to returning 1 in the old
system) if they need more time to drain or DrainState::Drained
(equivalent to returning 0 in the old system) if they are already in a
consistent state. Returning DrainState::Running is considered an
error.
Drain done signalling is now done through the signalDrainDone() method
in the Drainable class instead of using the DrainManager directly. The
new call checks if the state of the object is DrainState::Draining
before notifying the drain manager. This means that it is safe to call
signalDrainDone() without first checking if the simulator has
requested draining. The intention here is to reduce the code needed to
implement draining in simple objects.

Objects that are can be serialized are supposed to inherit from the
Serializable class. This class is meant to provide a unified API for
such objects. However, so far it has mainly been used by SimObjects
due to some fundamental design limitations. This changeset redesigns
to the serialization interface to make it more generic and hide the
underlying checkpoint storage. Specifically:
* Add a set of APIs to serialize into a subsection of the current
object. Previously, objects that needed this functionality would
use ad-hoc solutions using nameOut() and section name
generation. In the new world, an object that implements the
interface has the methods serializeSection() and
unserializeSection() that serialize into a named /subsection/ of
the current object. Calling serialize() serializes an object into
the current section.
* Move the name() method from Serializable to SimObject as it is no
longer needed for serialization. The fully qualified section name
is generated by the main serialization code on the fly as objects
serialize sub-objects.
* Add a scoped ScopedCheckpointSection helper class. Some objects
need to serialize data structures, that are not deriving from
Serializable, into subsections. Previously, this was done using
nameOut() and manual section name generation. To simplify this,
this changeset introduces a ScopedCheckpointSection() helper
class. When this class is instantiated, it adds a new /subsection/
and subsequent serialization calls during the lifetime of this
helper class happen inside this section (or a subsection in case
of nested sections).
* The serialize() call is now const which prevents accidental state
manipulation during serialization. Objects that rely on modifying
state can use the serializeOld() call instead. The default
implementation simply calls serialize(). Note: The old-style calls
need to be explicitly called using the
serializeOld()/serializeSectionOld() style APIs. These are used by
default when serializing SimObjects.
* Both the input and output checkpoints now use their own named
types. This hides underlying checkpoint implementation from
objects that need checkpointing and makes it easier to change the
underlying checkpoint storage code.

This patch fixes a long-standing isue with the port flow
control. Before this patch the retry mechanism was shared between all
different packet classes. As a result, a snoop response could get
stuck behind a request waiting for a retry, even if the send/recv
functions were split. This caused message-dependent deadlocks in
stress-test scenarios.
The patch splits the retry into one per packet (message) class. Thus,
sendTimingReq has a corresponding recvReqRetry, sendTimingResp has
recvRespRetry etc. Most of the changes to the code involve simply
clarifying what type of request a specific object was accepting.
The biggest change in functionality is in the cache downstream packet
queue, facing the memory. This queue was shared by requests and snoop
responses, and it is now split into two queues, each with their own
flow control, but the same physical MasterPort. These changes fixes
the previously seen deadlocks.

Have the traffic generator add its masterID as the PC address to the
requests. That way, prefetchers (and other components) that use a PC
for request classification will see per-tester streams of requests.
This enables us to test strided prefetchers with the memchecker, too.
|
|
To be able to use the TrafficGen in a system with caches we need to
allow it to sink incoming snoop requests. By default the master port
panics, so silently ignore any snoops.
|
|
The MemTest class really only tests false sharing, and as such there
was a lot of old cruft that could be removed. This patch cleans up the
tester, and also makes it more clear what the assumptions are. As part
of this simplification the reference functional memory is also
removed.
The regression configs using MemTest are updated to reflect the
changes, and the stats will be bumped in a separate patch. The example
config will be updated in a separate patch due to more extensive
re-work.
In a follow-on patch a new tester will be introduced that uses the
MemChecker to implement true sharing.
