2012-11-02sim: Include object header files in SWIG interfacesAndreas Sandberg
When casting objects in the generated SWIG interfaces, SWIG uses classical C-style casts ( (Foo *)bar; ). In some cases, this can degenerate into the equivalent of a reinterpret_cast (mainly if only a forward declaration of the type is available). This usually works for most compilers, but it is known to break if multiple inheritance is used anywhere in the object hierarchy. This patch introduces the cxx_header attribute to Python SimObject definitions, which should be used to specify a header to include in the SWIG interface. The header should include the declaration of the wrapped object. We currently don't enforce header the use of the header attribute, but a warning will be generated for objects that do not use it.
2012-09-10Device: Bump PIO and PCI latencies to more reasonable valuesAndreas Hansson
This patch addresses a previously highlighted issue with the default latencies used for PIO and PCI devices. The values are merely educated guesses and might not represent the particular system you want to model. However, the values in this patch are definitely far more realistic than the previous ones. In i8254xGBe, the writeConfig method is updated to use configDelay instead of pioDelay. A follow-up patch will update the regression stats.
2012-08-22Packet: Remove NACKs from packet and its use in endpointsAndreas Hansson
This patch removes the NACK frrom the packet as there is no longer any module in the system that issues them (the bridge was the only one and the previous patch removes that). The handling of NACKs was mostly avoided throughout the code base, by using e.g. panic or assert false, but in a few locations the NACKs were actually dealt with (although NACKs never occured in any of the regressions). Most notably, the DMA port will now never receive a NACK and the backoff time is thus never changed. As a consequence, the entire backoff mechanism (similar to a PCI bus) is now removed and the DMA port entirely relies on the bus performing the arbitration and issuing a retry when appropriate. This is more in line with e.g. PCIe. Surprisingly, this patch has no impact on any of the regressions. As mentioned in the patch that removes the NACK from the bridge, a follow-up patch should change the request and response buffer size for at least one regression to also verify that the system behaves as expected when the bridge fills up.
2012-08-21Device: Remove overloaded pio_latency parameterAndreas Hansson
This patch removes the overloading of the parameter, which seems both redundant, and possibly incorrect. The PciConfigAll now also uses a Param.Latency rather than a Param.Tick. For backwards compatibility it still sets the pio_latency to 1 tick. All the comments have also been updated to not state that it is in simticks when it is not necessarily the case.
2012-02-13MEM: Introduce the master/slave port roles in the Python classesAndreas Hansson
This patch classifies all ports in Python as either Master or Slave and enforces a binding of master to slave. Conceptually, a master (such as a CPU or DMA port) issues requests, and receives responses, and conversely, a slave (such as a memory or a PIO device) receives requests and sends back responses. Currently there is no differentiation between coherent and non-coherent masters and slaves. The classification as master/slave also involves splitting the dual role port of the bus into a master and slave port and updating all the system assembly scripts to use the appropriate port. Similarly, the interrupt devices have to have their int_port split into a master and slave port. The intdev and its children have minimal changes to facilitate the extra port. Note that this patch does not enforce any port typing in the C++ world, it merely ensures that the Python objects have a notion of the port roles and are connected in an appropriate manner. This check is carried when two ports are connected, e.g. bus.master = memory.port. The following patches will make use of the classifications and specialise the C++ ports into masters and slaves.

2012-01-17MEM: Removing the default port peer from Python portsAndreas Hansson
In preparation for the introduction of Master and Slave ports, this patch removes the default port parameter in the Python port and thus forces the argument list of the Port to contain only the description. The drawback at this point is that the config port and dma port of PCI and DMA devices have to be connected explicitly. This is key for future diversification as the pio and config port are slaves, but the dma port is a master.
2011-10-04SE/FS: Put platform pointers in fewer objects.Gabe Black
Not all objects need a platform pointer, and having one creates a dependence on their being a platform object. This change removes the platform pointer to from the base device object and moves it into subclasses that actually need it.
2011-07-10IO: Handle case where ISA Fake device is being used as a fake memory.Ali Saidi
2008-07-16mem: use single BadAddr responder per system.Steve Reinhardt
Previously there was one per bus, which caused some coherence problems when more than one decided to respond. Now there is just one on the main memory bus. The default bus responder on all other buses is now the downstream cache's cpu_side port. Caches no longer need to do address range filtering; instead, we just have a simple flag to prevent snoops from propagating to the I/O bus.
