2017-07-07kvm, arm: Don't forward IRQ/FIQ when using the kernel's GICAndreas Sandberg
The BaseArmKvmCPU is responsible for forwarding the IRQ and FIQ signals from gem5's simulated GIC to KVM. However, these signals shouldn't be used when the in-kernel GIC emulator is used. Instead of delivering the interrupts to the guest, we should just ignore them since any such pending interrupts are likely to be an artifact of CPU switching or incorrect draining.

2017-07-05cpu: Added interface for vector reg fileRekai Gonzalez-Alberquilla
This patch adds some more functionality to the cpu model and the arch to interface with the vector register file. This change consists mainly of augmenting ThreadContexts and ExecContexts with calls to get/set full vectors, underlying microarchitectural elements or lanes. Those are meant to interface with the vector register file. All classes that implement this interface also get an appropriate implementation. This requires implementing the vector register file for the different models using the VecRegContainer class. This change set also updates the Result abstraction to contemplate the possibility of having a vector as result. The changes also affect how the remote_gdb connection works. There are some (nasty) side effects, such as the need to define dummy numPhysVecRegs parameter values for architectures that do not implement vector extensions. Nathanael Premillieu's work with an increasing number of fixes and improvements of mine.

With the hierarchical RegId there are a lot of functions that are redundant now. The idea behind the simplification is that instead of having the regId, telling which kind of register read/write/rename/lookup/etc. and then the function panic_if'ing if the regId is not of the appropriate type, we provide an interface that decides what kind of register to read depending on the register type of the given regId.

Mimic the changes done on the architectural register indexes on the physical register indexes. This is specific to the O3 model. The structure, called PhysRegId, contains a register class, a register index and a flat register index. The flat register index is kept because it is useful in some cases where the type of register is not important (dependency graph and scoreboard for example). Instead of directly using the structure, most of the code is working with a const PhysRegId* (typedef to PhysRegIdPtr). The actual PhysRegId objects are stored in the regFile.

2017-05-15cpu: fix problem with forwarding and locked loadAlec Roelke
If a (regular) store is followed closely enough by a locked load that overlaps, the LSQ will forward the store's data to the locked load and never tell the cache about the locked load. As a result, the cache will not lock the address and all future store-conditional requests on that address will fail. This patch fixes that by preventing forwarding if the memory request is a locked load and adding another case to the LSQ forwarding logic that delays the locked load request if a store in the LSQ contains all or part of the data that is requested.

2017-05-02python: Use PyBind11 instead of SWIG for Python wrappersAndreas Sandberg
Use the PyBind11 wrapping infrastructure instead of SWIG to generate wrappers for functionality that needs to be exported to Python. This has several benefits: * PyBind11 can be redistributed with gem5, which means that we have full control of the version used. This avoid a large number of hard-to-debug SWIG issues we have seen in the past. * PyBind11 doesn't rely on a custom C++ parser, instead it relies on wrappers being explicitly declared in C++. The leads to slightly more boiler-plate code in manually created wrappers, but doesn't doesn't increase the overall code size. A big benefit is that this avoids strange compilation errors when SWIG doesn't understand modern language features. * Unlike SWIG, there is no risk that the wrapper code incorporates incorrect type casts (this has happened on numerous occasions in the past) since these will result in compile-time errors. As a part of this change, the mechanism to define exported methods has been redesigned slightly. New methods can be exported either by declaring them in the SimObject declaration and decorating them with the cxxMethod decorator or by adding an instance of PyBindMethod/PyBindProperty to the cxx_exports class variable. The decorator has the added benefit of making it possible to add a docstring and naming the method's parameters. The new wrappers have the following known issues: * Global events can't be memory managed correctly. This was the case in SWIG as well.

2017-02-27syscall_emul: [PATCH 15/22] add clone/execve for threading and multiprocess ↵Brandon Potter
simulations Modifies the clone system call and adds execve system call. Requires allowing processes to steal thread contexts from other processes in the same system object and the ability to detach pieces of process state (such as MemState) to allow dynamic sharing.
2015-07-20syscall_emul: [patch 13/22] add system call retry capabilityBrandon Potter
This changeset adds functionality that allows system calls to retry without affecting thread context state such as the program counter or register values for the associated thread context (when system calls return with a retry fault). This functionality is needed to solve problems with blocking system calls in multi-process or multi-threaded simulations where information is passed between processes/threads. Blocking system calls can cause deadlock because the simulator itself is single threaded. There is only a single thread servicing the event queue which can cause deadlock if the thread hits a blocking system call instruction. To illustrate the problem, consider two processes using the producer/consumer sharing model. The processes can use file descriptors and the read and write calls to pass information to one another. If the consumer calls the blocking read system call before the producer has produced anything, the call will block the event queue (while executing the system call instruction) and deadlock the simulation. The solution implemented in this changeset is to recognize that the system calls will block and then generate a special retry fault. The fault will be sent back up through the function call chain until it is exposed to the cpu model's pipeline where the fault becomes visible. The fault will trigger the cpu model to replay the instruction at a future tick where the call has a chance to succeed without actually going into a blocking state. In subsequent patches, we recognize that a syscall will block by calling a non-blocking poll (from inside the system call implementation) and checking for events. When events show up during the poll, it signifies that the call would not have blocked and the syscall is allowed to proceed (calling an underlying host system call if necessary). If no events are returned from the poll, we generate the fault and try the instruction for the thread context at a distant tick. Note that retrying every tick is not efficient. As an aside, the simulator has some multi-threading support for the event queue, but it is not used by default and needs work. Even if the event queue was completely multi-threaded, meaning that there is a hardware thread on the host servicing a single simulator thread contexts with a 1:1 mapping between them, it's still possible to run into deadlock due to the event queue barriers on quantum boundaries. The solution of replaying at a later tick is the simplest solution and solves the problem generally.

2016-12-21cpu: disallow speculative update of branch predictor tables (o3)Arthur Perais
The Minor and o3 cpu models share the branch prediction code. Minor relies on the BPredUnit::squash() function to update the branch predictor tables on a branch mispre- diction. This is fine because Minor executes in-order, so the update is on the correct path. However, this causes the branch predictor to be updated on out-of-order branch mispredictions when using the o3 model, which should not be the case. This patch guards against speculative update of the branch prediction tables. On a branch misprediction, BPredUnit::squash() calls BpredUnit::update(..., squashed = true). The underlying branch predictor tests against the value of squashed. If it is true, it restores any speculatively updated internal state it might have (e.g., global/local branch history), then returns. If false, it updates its prediction tables. Previously, exist- ing predictors did not test against the "squashed" parameter. To accomodate for this change, the Minor model must now call BPredUnit::squash() then BPredUnit::update(..., squashed = false) on branch mispredictions. Before, calling BpredUnit::squash() performed the prediction tables update. The effect is a slight MPKI improvement when using the o3 model. A further patch should perform the same modifications for the indirect target predictor and BTB (less critical). Signed-off-by: Jason Lowe-Power <jason@lowepower.com>

2016-12-21cpu: Resolve targets of predicted 'taken' decode for O3Arthur Perais
The target of taken conditional direct branches does not need to be resolved in IEW: the target can be computed at decode, usually using the decoded instruction word and the PC. The higher-than-necessary penalty is taken only on conditional branches that are predicted taken but miss in the BTB. Thus, this is mostly inconsequential on IPC if the BTB is big/associative enough (fewer capacity/conflict misses). Nonetheless, what gem5 simulates is not representative of how conditional branch targets can be handled. Signed-off-by: Jason Lowe-Power <jason@lowepower.com>
2016-12-21cpu: Clarify meaning of cachePorts variable in lsq_unit.hh of O3Arthur Perais

This leads to unexpected congestion (e.g., setting cachePorts to a realistic 1 will in fact allow a store to WB only if no loads have accessed the D-Cache this cycle).

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. This is a re-spin of 20264eb after the revert (bd1c6789) and includes some fixes of that commit.
2016-04-05cpu: Implement per-thread GHRsMitch Hayenga
Branch predictors that use GHRs should index them on a per-thread basis. This makes that so. This is a re-spin of fb51231 after the revert (bd1c6789).
2016-04-05cpu: Add an indirect branch target predictorMitch Hayenga
This patch adds a configurable indirect branch predictor that can be indexed by a combination of GHR and path history hashes. Implements the functionality described in: "Target prediction for indirect jumps" by Chang, Hao, and Patt http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=264209 This is a re-spin of fb9d142 after the revert (bd1c6789).
