2010-02-23cache: Make caches sharing aware and add occupancy stats.Lisa Hsu
On the config end, if a shared L2 is created for the system, it is parameterized to have n sharers as defined by option.num_cpus. In addition to making the cache sharing aware so that discriminating tag policies can make use of context_ids to make decisions, I added an occupancy AverageStat and an occ % stat to each cache so that you could know which contexts are occupying how much cache on average, both in terms of blocks and percentage. Note that since devices have context_id -1, having an array of occ stats that correspond to each context_id will break here, so in FS mode I add an extra bucket for device blocks. This bucket is explicitly not added in SE mode in order to not only avoid ugliness in the stats.txt file, but to avoid broken stats (some formulas break when a bucket is 0).
2009-09-26Force prefetches to check cache and MSHRs immediately prior to issue.Steve Reinhardt
This prevents redundant prefetches from being issued, solving the occasional 'needsExclusive && !blk->isWritable()' assertion failure in cache_impl.hh that several people have run into. Eliminates "prefetch_cache_check_push" flag, neither setting of which really solved the problem.
2008-07-16mem: use single BadAddr responder per system.Steve Reinhardt
Previously there was one per bus, which caused some coherence problems when more than one decided to respond. Now there is just one on the main memory bus. The default bus responder on all other buses is now the downstream cache's cpu_side port. Caches no longer need to do address range filtering; instead, we just have a simple flag to prevent snoops from propagating to the I/O bus.
2009-02-16Fixes to get prefetching working again.Steve Reinhardt
Apparently we broke it with the cache rewrite and never noticed. Thanks to Bao Yungang <baoyungang@gmail.com> for a significant part of these changes (and for inspiring me to work on the rest). Some other overdue cleanup on the prefetch code too.
