2014-01-24mem: per-thread cache occupancy and per-block agesDam Sunwoo
This patch enables tracking of cache occupancy per thread along with ages (in buckets) per cache blocks. Cache occupancy stats are recalculated on each stat dump.
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
2013-10-31dev: Add 'OSC' oscillator sys control reg support to VersatileExpressMatt Evans
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.
2013-10-31dev: Add support for MSI-X and Capability Lists for ARM and PCI devicesGeoffrey Blake
This patch adds the registers and fields to the PCI device to support Capability lists and to support MSI-X in the GIC.
2013-10-31dev: Fix race conditions in IDE device on newer kernelsGeoffrey Blake
Newer linux kernels and distros exercise more functionality in the IDE device than previously, exposing 2 races. The first race is the handling of aborted DMA commands would immediately report the device is ready back to the kernel and cause already in flight commands to assert the simulator when they returned and discovered an inconsitent device state. The second race was due to the Status register not being handled correctly, the interrupt status bit would get stuck at 1 and the driver eventually views this as a bad state and logs the condition to the terminal. This patch fixes these two conditions by making the device handle aborted commands gracefully and properly handles clearing the interrupt status bit in the Status register.
2013-10-17arm: Add a 'clear PPI' method to gic_pl390Matt Evans
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.
2013-10-17dev: Add option to disable framebuffer .bmp dump in run folderDam Sunwoo
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.
2013-10-17arm: Fix a GIC mask register bugAli Saidi
This resulted in a kernel printk that said, "GIC CPU mask not found - kernel will fail to boot."
2013-10-17dev: Allow additional UART interrupts to be setAli Saidi
This patch allows setting a few additional interrupts for status changes that should never occur.
2013-09-04arch: Resurrect the NOISA build target and rename it NULLAndreas Hansson
This patch makes it possible to once again build gem5 without any ISA. The main purpose is to enable work around the interconnect and memory system without having to build any CPU models or device models. The regress script is updated to include the NULL ISA target. Currently no regressions make use of it, but all the testers could (and perhaps should) transition to it. --HG-- rename : build_opts/NOISA => build_opts/NULL rename : src/arch/noisa/SConsopts => src/arch/null/SConsopts rename : src/arch/noisa/cpu_dummy.hh => src/arch/null/cpu_dummy.hh rename : src/cpu/intr_control.cc => src/cpu/intr_control_noisa.cc
2013-09-04arch: Header clean up for NOISA resurrectionAndreas Hansson
This patch is a first step to getting NOISA working again. A number of redundant includes make life more difficult than it has to be and this patch simply removes them. There are also some redundant forward declarations removed.
2013-08-19mem: Change AbstractMemory defaults to match the common caseAndreas Hansson
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.
2013-07-18mem: Set the cache line size on a system levelAndreas Hansson
This patch removes the notion of a peer block size and instead sets the cache line size on the system level. Previously the size was set per cache, and communicated through the interconnect. There were plenty checks to ensure that everyone had the same size specified, and these checks are now removed. Another benefit that is not yet harnessed is that the cache line size is now known at construction time, rather than after the port binding. Hence, the block size can be locally stored and does not have to be queried every time it is used. A follow-on patch updates the configuration scripts accordingly.
2013-07-11dev: make BasicPioDevice take size in constructorSteve 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>
2013-07-11dev: consistently end device classes in 'Device'Steve Reinhardt
PciDev and IntDev stuck out as the only device classes that ended in 'Dev' rather than 'Device'. This patch takes care of that inconsistency. Note that you may need to delete pre-existing files matching build/*/python/m5/internal/param_* as scons does not pick up indirect dependencies on imported python modules when generating params, and the PciDev -> PciDevice rename takes place in a file (dev/Device.py) that gets imported quite a bit. Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>
2013-07-11dev/arm: get rid of AmbaDev namespaceSteve Reinhardt
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. Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>
2013-07-11devices: make more classes derive from BasicPioDeviceSteve Reinhardt
A couple of devices that have single fixed memory mapped regions were not derived from BasicPioDevice, when that's exactly the functionality that BasicPioDevice provides. This patch gets rid of a little bit of redundant code by making those devices actually do so. Also fixed the weird case of X86ISA::Interrupts, where the class already did derive from BasicPioDevice but didn't actually use all the features it could have. Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>
2013-06-27sim: Add the notion of clock domains to all ClockedObjectsAkash Bagdia
This patch adds the notion of source- and derived-clock domains to the ClockedObjects. As such, all clock information is moved to the clock domain, and the ClockedObjects are grouped into domains. The clock domains are either source domains, with a specific clock period, or derived domains that have a parent domain and a divider (potentially chained). For piece of logic that runs at a derived clock (a ratio of the clock its parent is running at) the necessary derived clock domain is created from its corresponding parent clock domain. For now, the derived clock domain only supports a divider, thus ensuring a lower speed compared to its parent. Multiplier functionality implies a PLL logic that has not been modelled yet (create a separate clock instead). The clock domains should be used as a mechanism to provide a controllable clock source that affects clock for every clocked object lying beneath it. The clock of the domain can (in a future patch) be controlled by a handler responsible for dynamic frequency scaling of the respective clock domains. All the config scripts have been retro-fitted with clock domains. For the System a default SrcClockDomain is created. For CPUs that run at a different speed than the system, there is a seperate clock domain created. This domain incorporates the CPU and the associated caches. As before, Ruby runs under its own clock domain. The clock period of all domains are pre-computed, such that no virtual functions or multiplications are needed when calling clockPeriod. Instead, the clock period is pre-computed when any changes occur. For this to be possible, each clock domain tracks its children.
2013-06-27config: Remove redundant explicit setting of default clocksAkash Bagdia
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.
2013-06-04dev: Clarify why updates are delayed when the MC14818 is activatedAndreas Sandberg
2013-06-03dev: Add support for disabling ticking and the divider in MC146818Andreas Sandberg
Some Linux versions disable updates (regB.set = 1) to prevent the chip from updating its internal state while the OS is updating it. Support for this was already there, this patch merely disables the check in writeReg that prevented it from being enabled. The patch also includes support for disabling the divider, which is used to control when clock updates should start after setting the internal RTC state. These changes are required to boot most vanilla Linux distributions that update the RTC settings at boot.
2013-06-03dev: Clean up MC146818 register (A & B) handlingAndreas Sandberg
Rewrite reg A & B handling to use the bitunion stuff instead of bit masking. Add better error messages when the kernel tries to enable unsupported stuff.
2013-05-30mem: Avoid explicitly zeroing the memory backing storeAndreas Hansson
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.
2013-04-22sim: separate nextCycle() and clockEdge() in clockedObjectsDam Sunwoo
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.
2013-04-22ARM: Add support for HDLCD controller for TC2 and newer Versatile Express tiles.Chris Emmons
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.
2013-04-17dev: Fix a bug in the use of seekp/seekgAndreas Hansson
This patch fixes two instances of incorrect use of the seekp/seekg stream member functions. These two functions return a stream reference (*this), and should not be compared to an integer value.
2013-03-28x86: changes to apic, keyboardNilay Vaish
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
This patch fixes the warnings that clang3.2svn emit due to the "-Wall" flag. There is one case of an uninitialised value in the ARM neon ISA description, and then a whole range of unused private fields that are pruned.
2013-02-19scons: Add warning for missing declarationsAndreas Hansson
This patch enables warnings for missing declarations. To avoid issues with SWIG-generated code, the warning is only applied to non-SWIG code.
2013-02-19scons: Fix up numerous warnings about name shadowingAndreas Hansson
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.
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.
2013-02-19sim: 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.
2013-02-15dev: Use the correct return type for disk offsetsAndreas Sandberg
Replace the use of off_t in the various DiskImage related classes with std::streampos. off_t is a signed 32 bit integer on most 32-bit systems, whereas std::streampos is normally a 64 bit integer on most modern systems. Furthermore, std::streampos is the type used by tellg() and seekg() in the standard library, so it should have been used in the first place. This patch makes it possible to use disk images larger than 2 GiB on 32 bit systems with a modern C++ standard library.
2013-02-15ARM: Postpones creation of framebuffer output file until it is actually used.Chris Emmons
This delay prevents a potential conflict with the HDLCD if both are in the same system even if only one is enabled.
2012-10-25arm: Don't export private GIC methodsAndreas Sandberg
2012-10-25arm: Create a GIC base class and make the PL390 derive from itAndreas 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
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.
2013-01-07dev: Fix infinite recursion in DMA devicesAndreas Sandberg
The DMA device sometimes calls the process() method on a completion event directly instead of scheduling it on the current tick. This breaks some devices that assume that the completion handler won't be called until the current event handler has returned. Specifically, it causes infinite recursion in the IdeDisk component because it does not advance its chunk generator until after a dmaRead()/dmaWrite() has returned. This changeset removes this mico-optimization and schedules the event in the current tick instead. This way the semantics event handling stay the same even when the delay is 0.
2013-01-07dev: Do not serialize timer parametersAndreas Hansson
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.
2013-01-07dev: Make the ethernet devices use a non-zero clockAndreas Hansson
This patch changes the NS gige controller to have a non-clock, and sets the default to 500 MHz. The blocks that could prevoiusly be by-passed with a zero clock are now always present, and the user is left with the option of setting a very high clock frequency to achieve a similar performance.
2013-01-07ARM: pl111/LCD framebuffer checkpointing fixChander Sudanthi
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.
2013-01-07arm: Fix DMA event handling bug in the PL111 modelAndreas Sandberg
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.
2013-01-07dev: Fix the Pl111 timings by separating pixel and DMA clockAndreas Hansson
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.
2013-01-07config: Replace second keyboard with a mouse.Chris Emmons
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.
2012-11-16sim: have a curTick per eventqNilay Vaish
This patch adds a _curTick variable to an eventq. This variable is updated whenever an event is serviced in function serviceOne(), or all events upto a particular time are processed in function serviceEvents(). This change helps when there are eventqs that do not make use of curTick for scheduling events.
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.
2012-11-02dev: Fix ethernet device inheritance structureAndreas Sandberg
The Python wrappers and the C++ should have the same object structure. If this is not the case, bad things will happen when the SWIG wrappers cast between an object and any of its base classes. This was not the case for NSGigE and Sinic devices. This patch makes NSGigE and Sinic inherit from the new EtherDevBase class, which in turn inherits from EtherDevice. As a bonus, this removes some duplicated statistics from the Sinic device.
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.
2012-11-02pci: Make Python wrapper cast to the right typeAndreas Sandberg
The PCI base class is PciDev and not PciDevice, which is used by the Python world. Make sure this is reflected in the wrapper code.
2012-11-02dev: Add missing inline declarationsAndreas Sandberg
