2018-02-09dev: Fix i8042 device errorsJason Lowe-Power
The patch that added M5_FALLTHROUGH (5c41076bd7610 misc: Updates for gcc7.2 for x86) incorrectly added breaks to the i8042 device without implementing the correct functions. This patch implements keyboard writes, but ignores output writes. Information on the PS2 controller can be found at https://wiki.osdev.org/%228042%22_PS/2_Controller Note: Without this patch Linux 4.14 won't boot.

2018-01-20base: Rework bitunions so they can be more flexible.Gabe Black
They are now oriented around a class which makes it easy to provide custom setter/getter functions which let you set or read bits in an arbitrary way. Future additions may add the ability to add custom bitfield methods, and index-able bitfields.

2017-12-14misc: Updates for gcc7.2 for x86Jason Lowe-Power
GCC 7.2 is much stricter than previous GCC versions. The following changes are needed: * There is now a warning if there is an implicit fallthrough between two case statments. C++17 adds the [[fallthrough]]; declaration. However, to support non C++17 standards (i.e., C++11), we use M5_FALLTHROUGH. M5_FALLTHROUGH checks for [[fallthrough]] compliant C++17 compiler and if that doesn't exist, it defaults to nothing (no older compilers generate warnings). * The above resulted in a couple of bugs that were found. This is noted in the review request on gerrit. * throw() for dynamic exception specification is deprecated * There were a couple of new uninitialized variable warnings * Can no longer perform bitwise operations on a bool. * Must now include <functional> for std::function * Compiler bug for void* lambda. Changed to auto as work around.

2015-12-05dev: Rewrite PCI host functionalityAndreas Sandberg
The gem5's current PCI host functionality is very ad hoc. The current implementations require PCI devices to be hooked up to the configuration space via a separate configuration port. Devices query the platform to get their config-space address range. Un-mapped parts of the config space are intercepted using the XBar's default port mechanism and a magic catch-all device (PciConfigAll). This changeset redesigns the PCI host functionality to improve code reuse and make config-space and interrupt mapping more transparent. Existing platform code has been updated to use the new PCI host and configured to stay backwards compatible (i.e., no guest-side visible changes). The current implementation does not expose any new functionality, but it can easily be extended with features such as automatic interrupt mapping. PCI devices now register themselves with a PCI host controller. The host controller interface is defined in the abstract base class PciHost. Registration is done by PciHost::registerDevice() which takes the device, its bus position (bus/dev/func tuple), and its interrupt pin (INTA-INTC) as a parameter. The registration interface returns a PciHost::DeviceInterface that the PCI device can use to query memory mappings and signal interrupts. The host device manages the entire PCI configuration space. Accesses to devices decoded into the devices bus position and then forwarded to the correct device. Basic PCI host functionality is implemented in the GenericPciHost base class. Most platforms can use this class as a basic PCI controller. It provides the following functionality: * Configurable configuration space decoding. The number of bits dedicated to a device is a prameter, making it possible to support both CAM, ECAM, and legacy mappings. * Basic interrupt mapping using the interruptLine value from a device's configuration space. This behavior is the same as in the old implementation. More advanced controllers can override the interrupt mapping method to dynamically assign host interrupts to PCI devices. * Simple (base + addr) remapping from the PCI bus's address space to physical addresses for PIO, memory, and DMA.

2015-09-29arch, x86: Delete packet in IntDevice::recvResponseJoel Hestness
IntDevice::recvResponse is called from two places in current mainline: (1) the short circuit path of X86ISA::IntDevice::IntMasterPort::sendMessage for atomic mode, and (2) the full request->response path to and from the x86 interrupts device (finally called from MessageMasterPort::recvTimingResp). In the former case, the packet was deleted correctly, but in the latter case, the packet and request leak. To fix the leak, move request and packet deletion into IntDevice inherited class implementations of recvResponse.
2015-08-07dev, x86: Fix serialization bug in the i8042 deviceAndreas Sandberg
The i8042 device drops the contents of a PS2 device's buffer when serializing, which results in corrupted PS2 state when continuing simulation after a checkpoint. This changeset fixes this bug and transitions the i8042 model to use the new serialization API that requires the serialize() method to be const.
2015-07-07sim: Refactor the serialization base classAndreas Sandberg
Objects that are can be serialized are supposed to inherit from the Serializable class. This class is meant to provide a unified API for such objects. However, so far it has mainly been used by SimObjects due to some fundamental design limitations. This changeset redesigns to the serialization interface to make it more generic and hide the underlying checkpoint storage. Specifically: * Add a set of APIs to serialize into a subsection of the current object. Previously, objects that needed this functionality would use ad-hoc solutions using nameOut() and section name generation. In the new world, an object that implements the interface has the methods serializeSection() and unserializeSection() that serialize into a named /subsection/ of the current object. Calling serialize() serializes an object into the current section. * Move the name() method from Serializable to SimObject as it is no longer needed for serialization. The fully qualified section name is generated by the main serialization code on the fly as objects serialize sub-objects. * Add a scoped ScopedCheckpointSection helper class. Some objects need to serialize data structures, that are not deriving from Serializable, into subsections. Previously, this was done using nameOut() and manual section name generation. To simplify this, this changeset introduces a ScopedCheckpointSection() helper class. When this class is instantiated, it adds a new /subsection/ and subsequent serialization calls during the lifetime of this helper class happen inside this section (or a subsection in case of nested sections). * The serialize() call is now const which prevents accidental state manipulation during serialization. Objects that rely on modifying state can use the serializeOld() call instead. The default implementation simply calls serialize(). Note: The old-style calls need to be explicitly called using the serializeOld()/serializeSectionOld() style APIs. These are used by default when serializing SimObjects. * Both the input and output checkpoints now use their own named types. This hides underlying checkpoint implementation from objects that need checkpointing and makes it easier to change the underlying checkpoint storage code.
2015-02-11mem: Clarification of packet crossbar timingsMarco Balboni
This patch clarifies the packet timings annotated when going through a crossbar. The old 'firstWordDelay' is replaced by 'headerDelay' that represents the delay associated to the delivery of the header of the packet. The old 'lastWordDelay' is replaced by 'payloadDelay' that represents the delay needed to processing the payload of the packet. For now the uses and values remain identical. However, going forward the payloadDelay will be additive, and not include the headerDelay. Follow-on patches will make the headerDelay capture the pipeline latency incurred in the crossbar, whereas the payloadDelay will capture the additional serialisation delay.

2014-09-20mem: Rename Bus to XBar to better reflect its behaviourAndreas Hansson
This patch changes the name of the Bus classes to XBar to better reflect the actual timing behaviour. The actual instances in the config scripts are not renamed, and remain as e.g. iobus or membus. As part of this renaming, the code has also been clean up slightly, making use of range-based for loops and tidying up some comments. The only changes outside the bus/crossbar code is due to the delay variables in the packet. --HG-- rename : src/mem/Bus.py => src/mem/XBar.py rename : src/mem/coherent_bus.cc => src/mem/coherent_xbar.cc rename : src/mem/coherent_bus.hh => src/mem/coherent_xbar.hh rename : src/mem/noncoherent_bus.cc => src/mem/noncoherent_xbar.cc rename : src/mem/noncoherent_bus.hh => src/mem/noncoherent_xbar.hh rename : src/mem/bus.cc => src/mem/xbar.cc rename : src/mem/bus.hh => src/mem/xbar.hh

2014-07-18x86: make PioBus return BadAddress errorsBinh Pham
Stop setting the use_default_range flag in PioBus in order to have random bad addresses result in a BadAddress response and not a gem5 fatal error. This is necessary in Ruby as Ruby is connected directly to PioBus, so misspeculated addresses will be sent there directly. For the classic memory system, this change has no effect, as bad addresses are caught by the memory bus before being sent to the PioBus. This work was done while Binh was an intern at AMD Research.
2013-11-25sim: simulate with multiple threads and event queuesSteve Reinhardt ext:(%2C%20Nilay%20Vaish%20%3Cnilay%40cs.wisc.edu%3E%2C%20Ali%20Saidi%20%3CAli.Saidi%40ARM.com%3E)
This patch adds support for simulating with multiple threads, each of which operates on an event queue. Each sim object specifies which eventq is would like to be on. A custom barrier implementation is being added using which eventqs synchronize. The patch was tested in two different configurations: 1. ruby_network_test.py: in this simulation L1 cache controllers receive requests from the cpu. The requests are replied to immediately without any communication taking place with any other level. 2. twosys-tsunami-simple-atomic: this configuration simulates a client-server system which are connected by an ethernet link. We still lack the ability to communicate using message buffers or ports. But other things like simulation start and end, synchronizing after every quantum are working. Committed by: Nilay Vaish

2013-07-11devices: make more classes derive from BasicPioDeviceSteve Reinhardt

It is possible that operating system wants to shutdown the lapic timer by writing timer's initial count to 0. This patch adds a check that the timer event is only scheduled if the count is 0. The patch also converts few of the panics related to the keyboard to warnings since we are any way not interested in simulating the keyboard.
2013-02-19scons: Fix warnings issued by clang 3.2svn (XCode 4.6)Andreas Hansson

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.
2013-02-15sim: Add a system-global option to bypass cachesAndreas Sandberg
Virtualized CPUs and the fastmem mode of the atomic CPU require direct access to physical memory. We currently require caches to be disabled when using them to prevent chaos. This is not ideal when switching between hardware virutalized CPUs and other CPU models as it would require a configuration change on each switch. This changeset introduces a new version of the atomic memory mode, 'atomic_noncaching', where memory accesses are inserted into the memory system as atomic accesses, but bypass caches. To make memory mode tests cleaner, the following methods are added to the System class: * isAtomicMode() -- True if the memory mode is 'atomic' or 'direct'. * isTimingMode() -- True if the memory mode is 'timing'. * bypassCaches() -- True if caches should be bypassed. The old getMemoryMode() and setMemoryMode() methods should never be used from the C++ world anymore.
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.
2012-10-15Port: 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.
2012-10-15Fix: Address a few minor issues identified by cppcheckAndreas Hansson
This patch addresses a number of smaller issues identified by the code inspection utility cppcheck. There are a number of identified leaks in the arm/linux/system.cc (although the function only get's called once so it is not a major problem), a few deletes in dev/x86/i8042.cc that were not array deletes, and sprintfs where the character array had one element less than needed. In the IIC tags there was a function allocating an array of longs which is in fact never used.
2012-09-19AddrRange: Transition from Range<T> to AddrRangeAndreas Hansson
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. --HG-- rename : src/base/range.hh => src/base/addr_range.hh rename : src/base/range_map.hh => src/base/addr_range_map.hh
2012-08-22Port: Extend the QueuedPort interface and use where appropriateAndreas Hansson
This patch extends the queued port interfaces with methods for scheduling the transmission of a timing request/response. The methods are named similar to the corresponding sendTiming(Snoop)Req/Resp, replacing the "send" with "sched". As the queues are currently unbounded, the methods always succeed and hence do not return a value. This functionality was previously provided in the subclasses by calling PacketQueue::schedSendTiming with the appropriate parameters. With this change, there is no need to introduce these extra methods in the subclasses, and the use of the queued interface is more uniform and explicit.
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.
2012-07-09Port: 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.
2012-04-05Config: corrects the way Ruby attaches to the DMA portsNilay Vaish
With recent changes to the memory system, a port cannot be assigned a peer port twice. While making use of the Ruby memory system in FS mode, DMA ports were assigned peer twice, once for the classic memory system and once for the Ruby memory system. This patch removes this double assignment of peer ports.
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: Prepare mport for master/slave splitAndreas Hansson
This patch simplifies the mport in preparation for a split into a master and slave role for the message ports. In particular, sendMessageAtomic was only used in a single location and similarly so sendMessageTiming. The affected interrupt device is updated accordingly.
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.
2012-02-13MEM: 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.
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.

2011-09-30SE/FS: Remove System::platform and Platform::intrFrequency.Gabe Black
In order for a system object to work in SE mode and FS mode, it has to either always require a platform object even in SE mode, or get rid of the requirement all together. Making SE mode carry around unnecessary/unused bits of FS seems less than ideal, so I decided to go with the second option. The platform pointer in the System class was used for exactly one purpose, a path for the Alpha Linux system object to get to the real time clock and read its frequency so that it could short cut the loops_per_jiffy calculation. There was also a copy and pasted implementation in MIPS, but since it was only there because it was there in Alpha I still count that as one use. This change reverses the mechanism that communicates the RTC frequency so that the Tsunami platform object pushes it up to the AlphaSystem object. This is slightly less specific than it could be because really only the AlphaLinuxSystem uses it. Because the intrFrequency function on the Platform class was no longer necessary (and unimplemented on anything but Alpha) it was eliminated. After this change, a platform will need to have a system, but a system won't have to have a platform.
