2016-12-05cpu: Change traffic generators to use different values for writesNikos Nikoleris
Previously all traffic generators would use the same value for write requests. With this change traffic generators use their master id as the payload of write requests making them more useful for the memchecker.

2016-11-30arch: [Patch 1/5] Added RISC-V base instruction set RV64IAlec Roelke
First of five patches adding RISC-V to GEM5. This patch introduces the base 64-bit ISA (RV64I) in src/arch/riscv for use with syscall emulation. The multiply, floating point, and atomic memory instructions will be added in additional patches, as well as support for more detailed CPU models. The loader is also modified to be able to parse RISC-V ELF files, and a "Hello world\!" example for RISC-V is added to test-progs. Patch 2 will implement the multiply extension, RV64M; patch 3 will implement the floating point (single- and double-precision) extensions, RV64FD; patch 4 will implement the atomic memory instructions, RV64A, and patch 5 will add support for timing, minor, and detailed CPU models that is missing from the first four patches (such as handling locked memory). [Removed several unused parameters and imports from RiscvInterrupts.py, RiscvISA.py, and RiscvSystem.py.] [Fixed copyright information in RISC-V files copied from elsewhere that had ARM licenses attached.] [Reorganized instruction definitions in decoder.isa so that they are sorted by opcode in preparation for the addition of ISA extensions M, A, F, D.] [Fixed formatting of several files, removed some variables and instructions that were missed when moving them to other patches, fixed RISC-V Foundation copyright attribution, and fixed history of files copied from other architectures using hg copy.] [Fixed indentation of switch cases in isa.cc.] [Reorganized syscall descriptions in linux/process.cc to remove large number of repeated unimplemented system calls and added implmementations to functions that have received them since it process.cc was first created.] [Fixed spacing for some copyright attributions.] [Replaced the rest of the file copies using hg copy.] [Fixed style check errors and corrected unaligned memory accesses.] [Fix some minor formatting mistakes.] Signed-off by: Alec Roelke Signed-off by: Jason Lowe-Power <jason@lowepower.com>

2016-10-06ruby: rename networktest to garnet_synthetic_traffic.Tushar Krishna
networktest is essentially a collection of synthetic traffic patterns for the network. The protocol name and the tester having the same name led to multiple python configuration files with the same name, adding confusion. This patch renames networktest to garnet_synthetic_traffic, and also adds more synthetic traffic patterns.
2016-09-22cpu: Fix the O3 CPU DrainRekai Gonzalez-Alberquilla
The drain did not wait until stages were ready again. Therefore, as a result of messages in the TimeBuffer being drain, the state after the drain was not consistent and asserts fired in some places when the draining happened after a stage got blocked, but before the notification arrived to the previous stages.

2016-09-15cpu: Support exit when any one Trace CPU completes replayRadhika Jagtap
This change adds a Trace CPU param to exit simulation early, i.e. when the first (any one) trace execution is complete. With this change the user gets a choice to configure exit as either when the last CPU finishes (default) or first CPU finishes replay. Configuring an early exit enables simulating and measuring stats strictly when memory-system resources are being stressed by all Trace CPUs.

2016-09-15cpu: Adjust for trace offset and fix statsRadhika Jagtap
This change subtracts the time offset present in the trace from all the event times when nodes and request are sent so that the replay starts immediately when the simulation starts. This makes the stats accurate when the time offset in traces is large, for example when traces are generated in the middle of a workload execution. It also solves the problem of unnecessary DRAM refresh events that would keep occuring during the large time offset before even a single request is replayed into the system.

2016-09-15cpu: Add frequency scaling to the Trace CPURadhika Jagtap
This change adds a simple feature to scale the frequency of the Trace CPU. The compute delays in the input traces provide timing. This change adds a freqency multiplier parameter to the Trace CPU set to 1.0 by default. The compute delay is manipulated to effectively achieve the frequency at which the nodes become ready and thus scale the frequency of the Trace CPU.

2016-09-13kvm: Support timing accesses for KVM cpuMichael LeBeane
This patch enables timing accesses for KVM cpu. A new state, RunningMMIOPending, is added to indicate that there are outstanding timing requests generated by KVM in the system. KVM's tick() is disabled and the simulation does not enter into KVM until all outstanding timing requests have completed. The main motivation for this is to allow KVM CPU to perform MMIO in Ruby, since Ruby does not support atomic accesses.
2016-09-13sim: Refactor quiesce and remove FS assertsMichael LeBeane
The quiesce family of magic ops can be simplified by the inclusion of quiesceTick() and quiesce() functions on ThreadContext. This patch also gets rid of the FS guards, since suspending a CPU is also a valid operation for SE mode.

2016-07-21cpu: Fix Minor SMT WFI/drain interaction issuesMitch Hayenga
The behavior of WFI is to cause minor to cease evaluating pipeline logic until an interrupt is observed, however a user may wish to drain the system while a core is sleeping due to a WFI. This patch makes WFI drain. If an actual drain occurs during a WFI, the CPU is already drained and will immediately be ready for swapping, checkpointing, etc. This should not negatively impact performance as WFI instructions are 'stream-changing' (treated like unpredicted branches), so all remaining instructions are wrong-path and will be squashed rapidly.

2016-06-20mem: Resolve TrafficGen trace relative to the configAndreas Sandberg
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.

2016-04-07mem: Remove threadId from memory request classMitch Hayenga
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.

2015-11-27base: Add support for changing output directoriesAndreas Sandberg
This changeset adds support for changing the simulator output directory. This can be useful when the simulation goes through several stages (e.g., a warming phase, a simulation phase, and a verification phase) since it allows the output from each stage to be located in a different directory. Relocation is done by calling core.setOutputDir() from Python or simout.setOutputDirectory() from C++. This change affects several parts of the design of the gem5's output subsystem. First, files returned by an OutputDirectory instance (e.g., simout) are of the type OutputStream instead of a std::ostream. This allows us to do some more book keeping and control re-opening of files when the output directory is changed. Second, new subdirectories are OutputDirectory instances, which should be used to create files in that sub-directory.

2015-07-19cpu: Fix LLSC atomic CPU wakeupKrishnendra Nathella
Writes to locked memory addresses (LLSC) did not wake up the locking CPU. This can lead to deadlocks on multi-core runs. In AtomicSimpleCPU, recvAtomicSnoop was checking if the incoming packet was an invalidation (isInvalidate) and only then handled a locked snoop. But, writes are seen instead of invalidates when running without caches (fast-forward configurations). As as simple fix, now handleLockedSnoop is also called even if the incoming snoop packet are from writes.

2016-02-10mem: Deduce if cache should forward snoopsAndreas Hansson
This patch changes how the cache determines if snoops should be forwarded from the memory side to the CPU side. Instead of having a parameter, the cache now looks at the port connected on the CPU side, and if it is a snooping port, then snoops are forwarded. Less error prone, and less parameters to worry about. The patch also tidies up the CPU classes to ensure that their I-side port is not snooping by removing overrides to the snoop request handler, such that snoop requests will panic via the default MasterPort implement
