Tie in the newly created energy controller components in the default
configurations.
|
|
This patch provides an Energy Controller device that provides software
(driver) access to a DVFS handler. The device is currently residing in
the dev/arm tree, but there is nothing inherently ARM specific in the
behaviour. It is currently only tested and supported for ARM Linux,
hence the location.

This patch closes a number of space gaps in debug messages caused by
the incorrect use of line continuation within strings. (There's also
one consistency change to a similar, but correct, use of line
continuation)

This change adds support for a generic pci host bus driver that
has been included in recent Linux kernel instead of the more
bespoke one we've been using to date. It also works with
aarch64 so it provides PCI support for 64-bit ARM Linux.
To make this work a new configuration option pci_io_base is added
to the RealView platform that should be set to the start of
the memory used as memory mapped IO ports (IO ports that are
memory mapped, not regular memory mapped IO). And a parameter
pci_cfg_gen_offsets which specifies if the config space
offsets should be used that the generic driver expects.
To use the pci-host-generic device you need to:
pci_io_base = 0x2f000000 (Valid for VExpress EMM)
pci_cfg_gen_offsets = True
and add the following to your device tree:
pci {
compatible = "pci-host-ecam-generic";
device_type = "pci";
#address-cells = <0x3>;
#size-cells = <0x2>;
#interrupt-cells = <0x1>;
//bus-range = <0x0 0x1>;
// CPU_PHYSICAL(2) SIZE(2)
// Note, some DTS blobs only support 1 size
reg = <0x0 0x30000000 0x0 0x10000000>;
// IO (1), no bus address (2), cpu address (2), size (2)
// MMIO (1), at address (2), cpu address (2), size (2)
ranges = <0x01000000 0x0 0x00000000 0x0 0x2f000000 0x0 0x10000>,
<0x02000000 0x0 0x40000000 0x0 0x40000000 0x0 0x10000000>;
// With gem5 we typically use INTA/B/C/D one per device
interrupt-map = <0x0000 0x0 0x0 0x1 0x1 0x0 0x11 0x1
0x0000 0x0 0x0 0x2 0x1 0x0 0x12 0x1
0x0000 0x0 0x0 0x3 0x1 0x0 0x13 0x1
0x0000 0x0 0x0 0x4 0x1 0x0 0x14 0x1>;
// Only match INTA/B/C/D and not BDF
interrupt-map-mask = <0x0000 0x0 0x0 0x7>;
};

This eliminates some default devices and adds in helper functions
to connect the devices defined here to associate with the proper
clock domains.
|
|
The first DPRINTF() in PL390::writeDistributor always read a uint32_t, though a
packet may have only been 1 or 2 bytes. This caused an assertion in
packet->get().

This patch changes the default pixel clock to effectively generate
1080p resolution at 60 frames per second. It is dependent upon the
kernel device tree file using the specified resolution / display
string in the comments.

This is a quick hack to communicate a greater number of CPUs to a guest OS via
the ARM A9 SCU config register. Some OSes (Linux) just look at the bottom field
to count CPUs and with a small change can look at bits [3:0] to learn about up
to 16 CPUs.
Very much unsupported (and contains warning messages as such) but useful for
running 8 core sims without hardwiring CPU count in the guest OS.

Note: AArch64 and AArch32 interworking is not supported. If you use an AArch64
kernel you are restricted to AArch64 user-mode binaries. This will be addressed
in a later patch.
Note: Virtualization is only supported in AArch32 mode. This will also be fixed
in a later patch.

The VE motherboard provides a set of system control registers through which
various motherboard and coretile registers are accessed. Voltage regulators and
oscillator (DLL/PLL) config are examples. These registers must be impleted to
boot Linux 3.9+ kernels.
|
|
This patch adds the registers and fields to the PCI device to support
Capability lists and to support MSI-X in the GIC.
|
|
The underlying assumption that all PPIs must be edge-triggered is
strained when the architected timers and VGIC interfaces make
level-behaviour observable. For example, a virtual timer interrupt
'goes away' when the hypervisor is entered and the vtimer is disabled;
this requires a PPI to be de-activated.
The new method simply clears the interrupt pending state.
|
|
There is an option to enable/disable all framebuffer dumps, but the
last frame always gets dumped in the run folder with no other way to
disable it. These files can add up very quickly running many experiments.
This patch adds an option to disable them. The default behavior
remains unchanged.

This resulted in a kernel printk that said,
"GIC CPU mask not found - kernel will fail to boot."

This patch allows setting a few additional interrupts for status
changes that should never occur.

This patch changes the default parameter value of conf_table_reported
to match the common case. It also simplifies the regression and config
scripts to reflect this change.

Instead of relying on derived classes explicitly assigning
to the BasicPioDevice pioSize field, require them to pass
a size value in to the constructor.

It was confusing having an AmbaDev namespace along with an
AmbaDevice class. The namespace stuff is now moved in to
a new base AmbaDevice class, which is a mixin for classes
AmbaPioDevice (the former AmbaDevice) and AmbaDmaDevice
to provide the readId function as an inherited member function.

This patch removes the explicit setting of the clock period for
certain instances of CoherentBus, NonCoherentBus and IOCache where the
specified clock is same as the default value of the system clock. As
all the values used are the defaults, there are no performance
changes. There are similar cases where the toL2Bus is set to use the
parent CPU clock which is already the default behaviour.
The main motivation for these simplifications is to ease the
introduction of clock domains.

This patch removes the explicit memset as it is redundant and causes
the simulator to touch the entire space, forcing the host system to
allocate the pages.
Anonymous pages are mapped on the first access, and the page-fault
handler is responsible for zeroing them. Thus, the pages are still
zeroed, but we avoid touching the entire allocated space which enables
us to use much larger memory sizes as long as not all the memory is
actually used.

Previously, nextCycle() could return the *current* cycle if the current tick was
already aligned with the clock edge. This behavior is not only confusing (not
quite what the function name implies), but also caused problems in the
drainResume() function. When exiting/re-entering the sim loop (e.g., to take
checkpoints), the CPUs will drain and resume. Due to the previous behavior of
nextCycle(), the CPU tick events were being rescheduled in the same ticks that
were already processed before draining. This caused divergence from runs that
did not exit/re-entered the sim loop. (Initially a cycle difference, but a
significant impact later on.)
This patch separates out the two behaviors (nextCycle() and clockEdge()),
uses nextCycle() in drainResume, and uses clockEdge() everywhere else.
Nothing (other than name) should change except for the drainResume timing.

Newer core tiles / daughterboards for the Versatile Express platform have an
HDLCD controller that supports HD-quality output. This patch adds an
implementation of the controller.
|
|
This patch address the most important name shadowing warnings (as
produced when using gcc/clang with -Wshadow). There are many
locations where constructor parameters and function parameters shadow
local variables, but these are left unchanged.
|
|
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.
|
|
This delay prevents a potential conflict with the HDLCD if both are in the same
system even if only one is enabled.

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.

This patch removes the intNum and clock from the serialized scalars as
these are set by the Python parameters and should not be part of the
checkpoint.
|
|
Fixed check pointing of the framebuffer. Previously, the pixel size was not
considered in determining the size of the buffer to checkpoint. This patch
checkpoints the entire framebuffer instead of the first quarter.

The PL111 model currently maintains a list of pre-allocated
DmaDoneEvents to prevent unnecessary heap allocations. This list
effectively works like a stack where the top element is the latest
scheduled event. When an event triggers, the top pointer is moved down
the stack. This obviously breaks since events usually retire from the
bottom (events don't necessarily have to retire in order), which
triggers the following assertion:
gem5.debug: build/ARM/dev/arm/pl111.cc:460: void Pl111::fillFifo(): \
Assertion `!dmaDoneEvent[dmaPendingNum-1].scheduled()' failed.
This changeset adds a vector listing the currently unused events. This
vector acts like a stack where the an element is popped off the stack
when a new event is needed an pushed on the stack when they trigger.
|
|
This patch fixes the Pl111 timings by creating a separate clock for
the pixel timings. The device clock is used for all interactions with
the memory system, just like the AHB clock on the actual module.
The result without this patch is that the module only is allowed to
send one request every tick of the 24MHz clock which causes a huge
backlog.

The platform has two KMI devices that are both setup to be keyboards. This
patch changes the second keyboard to a mouse. This patch will allow keyboard
input as usual and additionally provide mouse support.

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.

This patch adds a VncInput base class which VncServer inherits from.
Another class can implement the same interface and be used instead
of the VncServer, for example a class that replays Vnc traffic.

This patch takes the final plunge and transitions from the templated
Range class to the more specific AddrRange. In doing so it changes the
obvious Range<Addr> to AddrRange, and also bumps the range_map to be
AddrRangeMap.
In addition to the obvious changes, including the removal of redundant
includes, this patch also does some house keeping in preparing for the
introduction of address interleaving support in the ranges. The Range
class is also stripped of all the functionality that is never used.

This patch addresses the comments and feedback on the preceding patch
that reworks the clocks and now more clearly shows where cycles
(relative cycle counts) are used to express time.
Instead of bumping the existing patch I chose to make this a separate
patch, merely to try and focus the discussion around a smaller set of
changes. The two patches will be pushed together though.
This changes done as part of this patch are mostly following directly
from the introduction of the wrapper class, and change enough code to
make things compile and run again. There are definitely more places
where int/uint/Tick is still used to represent cycles, and it will
take some time to chase them all down. Similarly, a lot of parameters
should be changed from Param.Tick and Param.Unsigned to
Param.Cycles.
In addition, the use of curTick is questionable as there should not be
an absolute cycle. Potential solutions can be built on top of this
patch. There is a similar situation in the o3 CPU where
lastRunningCycle is currently counting in Cycles, and is still an
absolute time. More discussion to be had in other words.
An additional change that would be appropriate in the future is to
perform a similar wrapping of Tick and probably also introduce a
Ticks class along with suitable operators for all these classes.
|

This patch introduces the notion of a clock update function that aims
to avoid costly divisions when turning the current tick into a
cycle. Each clocked object advances a private (hidden) cycle member
and a tick member and uses these to implement functions for getting
the tick of the next cycle, or the tick of a cycle some time in the
future.
In the different modules using the clocks, changes are made to avoid
counting in ticks only to later translate to cycles. There are a few
oddities in how the O3 and inorder CPU count idle cycles, as seen by a
few locations where a cycle is subtracted in the calculation. This is
done such that the regression does not change any stats, but should be
revisited in a future patch.
Another, much needed, change that is not done as part of this patch is
to introduce a new typedef uint64_t Cycle to be able to at least hint
at the unit of the variables counting Ticks vs Cycles. This will be
done as a follow-up patch.
As an additional follow up, the thread context still uses ticks for
the book keeping of last activate and last suspend and this should
probably also be changed into cycles as well.

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).

This patch makes getAddrRanges const throughout the code base. There
is no reason why it should not be, and making it const prevents adding
any unintentional side-effects.
|
|
This patch is the result of static analysis identifying a number of
memory leaks. The leaks are all benign as they are a result of not
deallocating memory in the desctructor. The fix still has value as it
removes false positives in the static analysis.

This patch moves the DMA device to its own set of files, splitting it
from the IO device. There are no behavioural changes associated with
this patch.
The patch also grabs the opportunity to do some very minor tidying up,
including some white space removal and pruning some redundant
parameters.
Besides the immediate benefits of the separation-of-concerns, this
patch also makes upcoming changes more streamlined as it split the
devices that are only slaves and the DMA device that also acts as a
master.
