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.

Another churn to clean up undefined behaviour, mostly ARM, but some
parts also touching the generic part of the code base.
Most of the fixes are simply ensuring that proper intialisation. One
of the more subtle changes is the return type of the sign-extension,
which is changed to uint64_t. This is to avoid shifting negative
values (undefined behaviour) in the ISA code.

This patch removes the notion of a peer block size and instead sets
the cache line size on the system level.
Previously the size was set per cache, and communicated through the
interconnect. There were plenty checks to ensure that everyone had the
same size specified, and these checks are now removed. Another benefit
that is not yet harnessed is that the cache line size is now known at
construction time, rather than after the port binding. Hence, the
block size can be locally stored and does not have to be queried every
time it is used.
A follow-on patch updates the configuration scripts accordingly.

This patch unifies where initMemProxies is called, in the init()
method of each BaseCPU subclass, before TheISA::initCPU is
called. Moreover, it also ensures that initMemProxies is called in
both full-system and syscall-emulation mode, thus unifying also across
the modes. An additional check is added in the ThreadState to ensure
that initMemProxies is only called once.
|

This patch is adding a clearer design intent to all objects that would
not be complete without a port proxy by making the proxies members
rathen than dynamically allocated. In essence, if NULL would not be a
valid value for the proxy, then we avoid using a pointer to make this
clear.
The same approach is used for the methods using these proxies, such as
loadSections, that now use references rather than pointers to better
reflect the fact that NULL would not be an acceptable value (in fact
the code would break and that is how this patch started out).
Overall the concept of "using a reference to express unconditional
composition where a NULL pointer is never valid" could be done on a
much broader scale throughout the code base, but for now it is only
done in the locations affected by the proxies.

This patch continues the unification of how the different CPU models
create and share their instruction and data ports. Most importantly,
it forces every CPU to have an instruction and a data port, and gives
these ports explicit getters in the BaseCPU (getDataPort and
getInstPort). The patch helps in simplifying the code, make
assumptions more explicit, andfurther ease future patches related to
the CPU ports.
The biggest changes are in the in-order model (that was not modified
in the previous unification patch), which now moves the ports from the
CacheUnit to the CPU. It also distinguishes the instruction fetch and
load-store unit from the rest of the resources, and avoids the use of
indices and casting in favour of keeping track of these two units
explicitly (since they are always there anyways). The atomic, timing
and O3 model simply return references to their already existing ports.

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

This code is no longer needed because of the preceeding change which adds a

This provides a common initial status for all threads independent
of CPU model (unlike the prior situation where CPUs initialized
threads to inconsistent states).
This mostly matters for SE mode; in FS mode, ISA-specific startupCPU()
methods generally handle boot-time initialization of thread contexts
(since the right thing to do is ISA-dependent).

below the CPU to happen every time activateContext is called. The overhead is probably a little higher than necessary, but allows these connections to properly be made when there are CPUs that are inactive until they are switched in.
Right now this introduces a minor memory leak as old physPorts and virtPorts are not deleted when new ones are created. A flyspray task has been created for this issue. It can not be resolved until we determine how the bus will handle giving out ID's to functional ports that may be deleted.
src/cpu/o3/cpu.cc:
src/cpu/simple/atomic.cc:
src/cpu/simple/timing.cc:

order to clear up the confusion due to the many ExecContexts. It also derives from a common ThreadState object, which holds various state common to threads across CPU models.
Following with the previous check-in, ExecContext now refers only to the interface provided to the ISA in order to access CPU state. ThreadContext refers to the interface provided to all objects outside the CPU in order to access thread state. SimpleThread provides all thread state and the interface to access it, and is suitable for simple execution models such as the SimpleCPU.
