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.
2012-04-25MEM: Use base class Master/SlavePort pointers in the busAndreas Hansson
This patch makes some rather trivial simplifications to the bus in that it changes the use of BusMasterPort and BusSlavePort pointers to simply use MasterPort and SlavePort (iterators are also updated accordingly). This change is a step towards a future patch that introduces a separation of the interface and the structural port itself.
2012-04-25MEM: Add the PortId type and a corresponding id field to PortAndreas Hansson
This patch introduces the PortId type, moves the definition of INVALID_PORT_ID to the Port class, and also gives every port an id to reflect the fact that each element in a vector port has an identifier/index. Previously the bus and Ruby testers (and potentially other users of the vector ports) added the id field in their port subclasses, and now this functionality is always present as it is moved to the base class.
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: Unify bus access methods and prepare for master/slave splitAndreas Hansson
This patch unifies the recvFunctional, recvAtomic and recvTiming to all be based on a similar structure: 1) extract information about the incoming packet, 2) send it out to the appropriate snoopers, 3) determine where it is going, and 4) forward it to the right destination. The naming of variables across the different access functions is now consistent as well. Additionally, the patch introduces the member functions releaseBus and retryWaiting to better distinguish between the two cases when we should tell a sender to retry. The first case is when the bus goes from busy to idle, and the second case is when it receives a retry from a destination that did not immediatelly accept a packet. As a very minor change, the MMU debug flag is no longer used in the bus.
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.
2012-02-24MEM: Fatal when no port can be found for an addressAndreas Hansson
This patch adds a check in the findPort method to ensure that an invalid port id is never returned. Previously this could happen if no default port was set, and no address matched the request, in which case -1 was returned causing a SEGFAULT when using the id to index in the port array. To clean things up further a symbolic name is added for the invalid port id.
2012-02-09MEM: Remove onRetryList from BusPort and rely on retryListAndreas Hansson
This patch removes the onRetryList field from the BusPort class and entirely relies on the retryList which holds all ports that are waiting to retry. The onRetryList field and the retryList were previously used with overloaded functionalities and only one is really needed (there were also checks to assert they held the same information). After this patch the bus ports will be split into master and slave ports and this simplifies that transition.
2012-01-17MEM: Make the bus default port yet another portAndreas Hansson
This patch removes the idiosyncratic nature of the default bus port and makes it yet another port in the list of interfaces. Rather than having a specific pointer to the default port we merely track the identifier of this port. This change makes future port diversification easier and overall cleans up the bus code.
2012-01-17MEM: Remove the functional ports from the memory systemWilliam Wang
The functional ports are no longer used and this patch cleans up the legacy that is still present in buses, memories, CPUs etc. Note that this does not refer to the class FunctionalPort (already removed), but rather ports with the name (and use) functional.
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: Remove Port removeConn and MemObject deletePortRefsAndreas Hansson

2010-08-17bus: clean up default responder code.Steve Reinhardt
Clean up some minor things left over from the default responder change in rev 9af6fb59752f. Mostly renaming the 'responder_set' param to 'use_default_range' to actually reflect what it does... old name wasn't that descriptive in the first place, but now it really doesn't make sense at all. Also got rid of the bogus obsolete assignment to 'bus.responder' which used to be a parameter but now is interpreted as an implicit child assignment, and which was giving me problems in the config restructuring to come. (A good argument for not allowing implicit child assignments, IMO, but that's water under the bridge, I'm afraid.) Also moved the Bus constructor to the .cc file since that's where it should have been all along.
