2019-05-30cpu-o3: Add support for pinned writesGiacomo Gabrielli
This patch adds support for pinning registers for a certain number of consecutive writes. This is only relevant for timing CPU models (functional-only models are unaffected), and it is primarily needed to provide a realistic execution model for micro-coded operations whose microops can write to non-overlapping portions of a destination register, e.g. vector gather loads. In those cases, this mechanism can disable renaming for a sequence of consecutive writes, thus making the resulting execution more efficient: allocating a new physical register for each microop would introduce a read-modify-write chain of dependencies, while with these modifications the microops can write back in parallel. Please note that this new feature is only leveraged by O3CPU for the time being.

Then cast to the ISA specific type when necessary. This removes (mostly) an ISA specific aspect to some of the interfaces. The ISA specific version of the kernel stats still needs to be constructed and stored in a few places which means that kernel_stats.hh still needs to be a switching arch header, for instance. In the future, I'd like to make the kernel its own object like the Process objects in SE mode, and then it would be able to instantiate and maintain its own stats.

2019-02-22python: Make iterator handling Python 3 compatibleAndreas Sandberg
Many functions that used to return lists (e.g., dict.items()) now return iterators and their iterator counterparts (e.g., dict.iteritems()) have been removed. Switch calls to the Python 2.7 iterator methods to use the Python 3 equivalent and add explicit list conversions where necessary.

As a side-effect, this makes these files consistent with configuration files.

2019-02-08cpu: Proposal for changing the indirect branch predictor interfaceJairo Balart
Now the indirect branch predictor handles its own GHR instead of getting the one from the direction predictor. Also, now the commit method of the indirect predictor is called for every pending branch on an update, as the indirect predictors may want to update their interal structures/histories with the information of each branch.

2019-02-08cpu: support atomic memory request type with AtomicOpFunctorTuan Ta
This patch enables all 4 CPU models (AtomicSimpleCPU, TimingSimpleCPU, MinorCPU and DerivO3CPU) to issue atomic memory (AMO) requests to memory system. Atomic memory instruction is treated as a special store instruction in all CPU models. In simple CPUs, an AMO request with an associated AtomicOpFunctor is simply sent to L1 dcache. In MinorCPU, an AMO request bypasses store buffer and waits for any conflicting store request(s) currently in the store buffer to retire before the AMO request is sent to the cache. AMO requests are not buffered in the store buffer, so their effects appear immediately in the cache. In DerivO3CPU, an AMO request is inserted in the store buffer so that it is delivered to the cache only after all previous stores are issued to the cache. Data forwarding between between an outstanding AMO in the store buffer and a subsequent load is not allowed since the AMO request does not hold valid data until it's executed in the cache. This implementation assumes that a target ISA implementation must insert enough memory fences as micro-ops around an atomic instruction to enforce a correct order of memory instructions with respect to its memory consistency model. Without extra memory fences, this implementation can allow AMOs and other memory instructions that do not conflict (i.e., not target the same address) to reorder. This implementation also assumes that atomic instructions execute within a cache line boundary since the cache for now is not able to execute an operation on two different cache lines in one single step. Therefore, ISAs like x86 that require multi-cache-line atomic instructions need to either use a pair of locking load and unlocking store or change the cache implementation to guarantee the atomicity of an atomic instruction.

2019-02-08cpu: fix how branching is handled when a thread is suspended in MinorCPUTuan Ta
When a thread is suspended, all instructions after the suspension need to be discarded since the thread will take a different execution stream when it wakes up. To do that, in MinorCPU, whenever a thread gets suspended, we change the current execution stream by updating the current branch with BranchData::SuspendThread reason.
