once a ST is sent off, it's OK to keep processing, however it's a little more
complicated to handle the packet acknowledging the store is completed

|
also, cleanup comments for gem5.fast compilation
|
|
dont treat read() and write() fields as mut. exclusive
|
|
only update BTB on a taken branch and update branch predictor w/pcstate from instruction
---
only pay attention to branch predictor updates if the the inst. is in fact a branch
|
|
define separate priority resource pool squash and graduate events
|
|
|
|
this causes forwarding a bad value register value
|
|
|
|
|
|
use it in reg. dep. tracking
|
|
dont use offset to calculate this but rather an enum
that can be updated
|
|
|
|
|
|
implement a clean interface to handle branch misprediction and eventually all pipeline
flushing
|
|
The DynInst was not performing the host-to-guest translation
which ended up breaking stores for SPARC
|
|
formerly, this was implicit when you accessed the execution unit
or the use-def unit but it's better that this just be something
that a user can specify.
|
|
|
|
add find and end functions for inst. schedules
that can search by stage number
|
|
keep stats for int/float reg file usage instead
of aggregating across reg file types
|
|
make handling of speculative and nonspeculative insts
more explicit
|
|
Architectures like SPARC need to read the window pointer
in order to figure out it's register dependence. However,
this may not get updated until after an instruction gets
executed, so now we lazily detect the register dependence
in the EXE stage (execution unit or use_def). This
makes sure we get the mapping after the most current change.
|
|
provide a sanity check for someone coding
a new architecture
|
|
call trap function when a fault is received
|
|
ignore writes to the ISA zero register
|
|
|
|
get rid of accessing iterators (for instructions) by reference
|
|
clean up control flow to make it easier to understand
|
|
|
|
- also use "threadId()" instead of readTid() everywhere
- this will help support more complex ISA indexing
|
|
|
|
since we dont care about if the cache of instruction schedules is sorted or not,
then the hash map should be faster
|
|
|
|
Add a few constants and functions that the InOrder model wants for SPARC.
* * *
sparc: add eaComp function
InOrder separates the address generation from the actual access so give
Sparc that functionality
* * *
sparc: add control flags for branches
branch predictors and other cpu model functions need to know specific information
about branches, so add the necessary flags here

Calculation of offset to copy from storeQueue[idx].data structure for load to
store forwarding fixed to be difference in bytes between store and load virtual
addresses. Previous method would induce bug where a load would index into
buffer at the wrong location.
|

If a split load fails on a blocked cache wbOutstanding can be decremented
twice if the first part of the split load succeeds and the second part fails.
Condition the decrementing on not having completed the first part of the load.

This patch fixes two problems with the O3 cpu model. The first is an issue
with an instruction fetch causing a fault on the next address while the
current macro-op is being issued. This happens when the micro-ops exceed
the fetch bandwdith and then on the next cycle the fetch stage attempts
to issue a request to the next line while it still has micro-ops to issue
if the next line faults a fault is attached to a micro-op in the currently
executing macro-op rather than a "nop" from the next instruction block.
This leads to an instruction incorrectly faulting when on fetch when
it had no reason to fault.
A similar problem occurs with interrupts. When an interrupt occurs the
fetch stage nominally stops issuing instructions immediately. This is incorrect
in the case of a macro-op as the current location might not be interruptable.

Debug flags are ExecUser, ExecKernel, and ExecAsid. ExecUser and
ExecKernel are set by default when Exec is specified. Use minus
sign with ExecUser or ExecKernel to remove user or kernel tracing
respectively.
|
|
Instructions that load an address and are control instructions can
execute down the wrong path if they were predicted correctly and then
instructions following them are squashed. If an instruction is a
memory and control op use the predicted address for the next PC instead
of just advancing the PC. Without this change NPC is used for the next
instruction, but predPC is used to verify that the branch was successful
so the wrong path is silently executed.

The network tester terminates after injecting for sim_cycles
(default=1000), instead of having to explicitly pass --maxticks from the
command line as before. If fixed_pkts is enabled, the tester only
injects maxpackets number of packets, else it keeps injecting till sim_cycles.
The tester also works with zero command line arguments now.

|
If we fault, change the state to faulting so that we don't fault again in the same cycle.
|
|
If an nonspeculative instruction has a fault it might not be in the
nonSpecInsts map.

At the same time, rename the trace flags to debug flags since they
have broader usage than simply tracing. This means that
--trace-flags is now --debug-flags and --trace-help is now --debug-help
