2013-02-19mem: Enforce strict use of busFirst- and busLastWordTimeAndreas Hansson
This patch adds a check to ensure that the delay incurred by the bus is not simply disregarded, but accounted for by someone. At this point, all the modules do is to zero it out, and no additional time is spent. This highlights where the bus timing is simply dropped instead of being paid for. As a follow up, the locations identified in this patch should add this additional time to the packets in one way or another. For now it simply acts as a sanity check and highlights where the delay is simply ignored. Since no time is added, all regressions remain the same.
2012-11-02sim: Move the draining interface into a separate base classAndreas Sandberg
This patch moves the draining interface from SimObject to a separate class that can be used by any object needing draining. However, objects not visible to the Python code (i.e., objects not deriving from SimObject) still depend on their parents informing them when to drain. This patch also gets rid of the CountedDrainEvent (which isn't really an event) and replaces it with a DrainManager.
2012-10-15Port: Add protocol-agnostic ports in the port hierarchyAndreas Hansson
This patch adds an additional level of ports in the inheritance hierarchy, separating out the protocol-specific and protocl-agnostic parts. All the functionality related to the binding of ports is now confined to use BaseMaster/BaseSlavePorts, and all the protocol-specific parts stay in the Master/SlavePort. In the future it will be possible to add other protocol-specific implementations. The functions used in the binding of ports, i.e. getMaster/SlavePort now use the base classes, and the index parameter is updated to use the PortID typedef with the symbolic InvalidPortID as the default.
2012-07-09Port: Align port names in C++ and PythonAndreas Hansson
This patch is a first step to align the port names used in the Python world and the C++ world. Ultimately it serves to make the use of config.json together with output from the simulation easier, including post-processing of statistics. Most notably, the CPU, cache, and bus is addressed in this patch, and there might be other ports that should be updated accordingly. The dash name separator has also been replaced with a "." which is what is used to concatenate the names in python, and a separation is made between the master and slave port in the bus.
2012-07-09Port: Make getAddrRanges constAndreas Hansson
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.
2012-05-23DMA: Split the DMA device and IO device into seperate filesAndreas Hansson
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. --HG-- rename : src/dev/io_device.cc => src/dev/dma_device.cc rename : src/dev/io_device.hh => src/dev/dma_device.hh
2012-05-23MEM: Add a snooping DMA port subclass for table walkerAndreas Hansson
This patch makes the (device) DmaPort non-snooping and removes the recvSnoop constructor parameter and instead introduces a SnoopingDmaPort subclass for the ARM table walker. Functionality is unchanged, as are the stats, and the patch merely clarifies that the normal DMA ports are not snooping (although they may issue requests that are snooped by others, as done with PCI, PCIe, AMBA4 ACE etc). Currently this port is declared in the ARM table walker as it is not used anywhere else. If other ports were to have similar behaviour it could be moved in a future patch.
2012-05-01MEM: Separate requests and responses for timing accessesAndreas Hansson
This patch moves send/recvTiming and send/recvTimingSnoop from the Port base class to the MasterPort and SlavePort, and also splits them into separate member functions for requests and responses: send/recvTimingReq, send/recvTimingResp, and send/recvTimingSnoopReq, send/recvTimingSnoopResp. A master port sends requests and receives responses, and also receives snoop requests and sends snoop responses. A slave port has the reciprocal behaviour as it receives requests and sends responses, and sends snoop requests and receives snoop responses. For all MemObjects that have only master ports or slave ports (but not both), e.g. a CPU, or a PIO device, this patch merely adds more clarity to what kind of access is taking place. For example, a CPU port used to call sendTiming, and will now call sendTimingReq. Similarly, a response previously came back through recvTiming, which is now recvTimingResp. For the modules that have both master and slave ports, e.g. the bus, the behaviour was previously relying on branches based on pkt->isRequest(), and this is now replaced with a direct call to the apprioriate member function depending on the type of access. Please note that send/recvRetry is still shared by all the timing accessors and remains in the Port base class for now (to maintain the current bus functionality and avoid changing the statistics of all regressions). The packet queue is split into a MasterPort and SlavePort version to facilitate the use of the new timing accessors. All uses of the PacketQueue are updated accordingly. With this patch, the type of packet (request or response) is now well defined for each type of access, and asserts on pkt->isRequest() and pkt->isResponse() are now moved to the appropriate send member functions. It is also worth noting that sendTimingSnoopReq no longer returns a boolean, as the semantics do not alow snoop requests to be rejected or stalled. All these assumptions are now excplicitly part of the port interface itself.
2012-04-14MEM: Remove the Broadcast destination from the packetAndreas Hansson
This patch simplifies the packet by removing the broadcast flag and instead more firmly relying on (and enforcing) the semantics of transactions in the classic memory system, i.e. request packets are routed from a master to a slave based on the address, and when they are created they have neither a valid source, nor destination. On their way to the slave, the request packet is updated with a source field for all modules that multiplex packets from multiple master (e.g. a bus). When a request packet is turned into a response packet (at the final slave), it moves the potentially populated source field to the destination field, and the response packet is routed through any multiplexing components back to the master based on the destination field. Modules that connect multiplexing components, such as caches and bridges store any existing source and destination field in the sender state as a stack (just as before). The packet constructor is simplified in that there is no longer a need to pass the Packet::Broadcast as the destination (this was always the case for the classic memory system). In the case of Ruby, rather than using the parameter to the constructor we now rely on setDest, as there is already another three-argument constructor in the packet class. In many places where the packet information was printed as part of DPRINTFs, request packets would be printed with a numeric "dest" that would always be -1 (Broadcast) and that field is now removed from the printing.
2012-04-14MEM: Separate snoops and normal memory requests/responsesAndreas Hansson
This patch introduces port access methods that separates snoop request/responses from normal memory request/responses. The differentiation is made for functional, atomic and timing accesses and builds on the introduction of master and slave ports. Before the introduction of this patch, the packets belonging to the different phases of the protocol (request -> [forwarded snoop request -> snoop response]* -> response) all use the same port access functions, even though the snoop packets flow in the opposite direction to the normal packet. That is, a coherent master sends normal request and receives responses, but receives snoop requests and sends snoop responses (vice versa for the slave). These two distinct phases now use different access functions, as described below. Starting with the functional access, a master sends a request to a slave through sendFunctional, and the request packet is turned into a response before the call returns. In a system without cache coherence, this is all that is needed from the functional interface. For the cache-coherent scenario, a slave also sends snoop requests to coherent masters through sendFunctionalSnoop, with responses returned within the same packet pointer. This is currently used by the bus and caches, and the LSQ of the O3 CPU. The send/recvFunctional and send/recvFunctionalSnoop are moved from the Port super class to the appropriate subclass. Atomic accesses follow the same flow as functional accesses, with request being sent from master to slave through sendAtomic. In the case of cache-coherent ports, a slave can send snoop requests to a master through sendAtomicSnoop. Just as for the functional access methods, the atomic send and receive member functions are moved to the appropriate subclasses. The timing access methods are different from the functional and atomic in that requests and responses are separated in time and send/recvTiming are used for both directions. Hence, a master uses sendTiming to send a request to a slave, and a slave uses sendTiming to send a response back to a master, at a later point in time. Snoop requests and responses travel in the opposite direction, similar to what happens in functional and atomic accesses. With the introduction of this patch, it is possible to determine the direction of packets in the bus, and no longer necessary to look for both a master and a slave port with the requested port id. In contrast to the normal recvFunctional, recvAtomic and recvTiming that are pure virtual functions, the recvFunctionalSnoop, recvAtomicSnoop and recvTimingSnoop have a default implementation that calls panic. This is to allow non-coherent master and slave ports to not implement these functions.
2012-03-30MEM: Introduce the master/slave port sub-classes in C++William Wang
This patch introduces the notion of a master and slave port in the C++ code, thus bringing the previous classification from the Python classes into the corresponding simulation objects and memory objects. The patch enables us to classify behaviours into the two bins and add assumptions and enfore compliance, also simplifying the two interfaces. As a starting point, isSnooping is confined to a master port, and getAddrRanges to slave ports. More of these specilisations are to come in later patches. The getPort function is not getMasterPort and getSlavePort, and returns a port reference rather than a pointer as NULL would never be a valid return value. The default implementation of these two functions is placed in MemObject, and calls fatal. The one drawback with this specific patch is that it requires some code duplication, e.g. QueuedPort becomes QueuedMasterPort and QueuedSlavePort, and BusPort becomes BusMasterPort and BusSlavePort (avoiding multiple inheritance). With the later introduction of the port interfaces, moving the functionality outside the port itself, a lot of the duplicated code will disappear again.
2012-03-22MEM: Split SimpleTimingPort into PacketQueue and portsAndreas Hansson
This patch decouples the queueing and the port interactions to simplify the introduction of the master and slave ports. By separating the queueing functionality from the port itself, it becomes much easier to distinguish between master and slave ports, and still retain the queueing ability for both (without code duplication). As part of the split into a PacketQueue and a port, there is now also a hierarchy of two port classes, QueuedPort and SimpleTimingPort. The QueuedPort is useful for ports that want to leave the packet transmission of outgoing packets to the queue and is used by both master and slave ports. The SimpleTimingPort inherits from the QueuedPort and adds the implemention of recvTiming and recvFunctional through recvAtomic. The PioPort and MessagePort are cleaned up as part of the changes. --HG-- rename : src/mem/tport.cc => src/mem/packet_queue.cc rename : src/mem/tport.hh => src/mem/packet_queue.hh
2012-02-24MEM: Move port creation to the memory object(s) constructionAndreas Hansson
This patch moves all port creation from the getPort method to be consistently done in the MemObject's constructor. This is possible thanks to the Swig interface passing the length of the vector ports. Previously there was a mix of: 1) creating the ports as members (at object construction time) and using getPort for the name resolution, or 2) dynamically creating the ports in the getPort call. This is now uniform. Furthermore, objects that would not be complete without a port have these ports as members rather than having pointers to dynamically allocated ports. This patch also enables an elaboration-time enumeration of all the ports in the system which can be used to determine the masterId.
2012-02-12mem: Add a master ID to each request object.Ali Saidi
This change adds a master id to each request object which can be used identify every device in the system that is capable of issuing a request. This is part of the way to removing the numCpus+1 stats in the cache and replacing them with the master ids. This is one of a series of changes that make way for the stats output to be changed to python.

2012-01-17MEM: Separate queries for snooping and address rangesAndreas Hansson
This patch simplifies the address-range determination mechanism and also unifies the naming across ports and devices. It further splits the queries for determining if a port is snooping and what address ranges it responds to (aiming towards a separation of cache-maintenance ports and pure memory-mapped ports). Default behaviours are such that most ports do not have to define isSnooping, and master ports need not implement getAddrRanges.
2012-01-17MEM: Simplify ports by removing EventManagerAndreas Hansson
This patch removes the inheritance of EventManager from the ports and moves all responsibility for event queues to the owner. Eventually the event manager should be the interface block, which could either be the structural owner or a subblock like a LSQ in the O3 CPU for example.

2011-03-17Mem: Fix issue with dirty block being lost when entire block transferred to ↵Ali Saidi
non-cache. This change fixes the problem for all the cases we actively use. If you want to try more creative I/O device attachments (E.g. sharing an L2), this won't work. You would need another level of caching between the I/O device and the cache (which you actually need anyway with our current code to make sure writes propagate). This is required so that you can mark the cache in between as top level and it won't try to send ownership of a block to the I/O device. Asserts have been added that should catch any issues.
