2013-07-11	dev: make BasicPioDevice take size in constructor	Steve Reinhardt
	Instead of relying on derived classes explicitly assigning to the BasicPioDevice pioSize field, require them to pass a size value in to the constructor. Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>
2013-02-19	sim: Make clock private and access using clockPeriod()	Andreas Hansson
	This patch makes the clock member private to the ClockedObject and forces all children to access it using clockPeriod(). This makes it impossible to inadvertently change the clock, and also makes it easier to transition to a situation where the clock is derived from e.g. a clock domain, or through a multiplier.
2012-10-25	arm: Create a GIC base class and make the PL390 derive from it	Andreas Sandberg
	This patch moves the GIC interface to a separate base class and makes all interrupt devices use that base class instead of a pointer to the PL390 implementation. This allows us to have multiple GIC implementations. Future implementations will allow in-kernel GIC implementations when using hardware virtualization. --HG-- rename : src/dev/arm/gic.cc => src/dev/arm/gic_pl390.cc rename : src/dev/arm/gic.hh => src/dev/arm/gic_pl390.hh
2012-08-21	Clock: Move the clock and related functions to ClockedObject	Andreas Hansson
	This patch moves the clock of the CPU, bus, and numerous devices to the new class ClockedObject, that sits in between the SimObject and MemObject in the class hierarchy. Although there are currently a fair amount of MemObjects that do not make use of the clock, they potentially should do so, e.g. the caches should at some point have the same clock as the CPU, potentially with a 1:n ratio. This patch does not introduce any new clock objects or object hierarchies (clusters, clock domains etc), but is still a step in the direction of having a more structured approach clock domains. The most contentious part of this patch is the serialisation of clocks that some of the modules (but not all) did previously. This serialisation should not be needed as the clock is set through the parameters even when restoring from the checkpoint. In other words, the state is "stored" in the Python code that creates the modules. The nextCycle methods are also simplified and the clock phase parameter of the CPU is removed (this could be part of a clock object once they are introduced).

2011-08-19	ARM: Add per-cpu local timers for ARM.	Geoffrey Blake
	Cortex-A9 processors can have a local timer and watchdog counter. It is enabled by default in Linux and up to this point we've had to disable them since a model wasn't available. This change allows a default MP ARM Linux configuration to boot.
