2012-09-25Cache: add a response latency to the cachesMrinmoy Ghosh
In the current caches the hit latency is paid twice on a miss. This patch lets a configurable response latency be set of the cache for the backward path.
2012-08-15O3,ARM: fix some problems with drain/switchout functionality and add Drain ↵Anthony Gutierrez
DPRINTFs This patch fixes some problems with the drain/switchout functionality for the O3 cpu and for the ARM ISA and adds some useful debug print statements. This is an incremental fix as there are still a few bugs/mem leaks with the switchout code. Particularly when switching from an O3CPU to a TimingSimpleCPU. However, when switching from O3 to O3 cores with the ARM ISA I haven't encountered any more assertion failures; now the kernel will typically panic inside of simulation.
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: Simplify cache ports preparing for master/slave splitAndreas Hansson
This patch splits the two cache ports into a master (memory-side) and slave (cpu-side) subclass of port with slightly different functionality. For example, it is only the CPU-side port that blocks incoming requests, and only the memory-side port that schedules send events outside of what the transmit list dictates. This patch simplifies the two classes by relying further on SimpleTimingPort and also generalises the latter to better accommodate the changes (introducing trySendTiming and scheduleSend). The memory-side cache port overrides sendDeferredPacket to be able to not only send responses from the transmit list, but also send requests based on the MSHRs. A follow on patch further simplifies the SimpleTimingPort and the cache ports.
2012-02-12mem: fix cache stats to use request ids correctlyDam Sunwoo
This patch fixes the cache stats to use the new request ids. Cache stats also display the requestor names in the vector subnames. Most cache stats now include "nozero" and "nonan" flags to reduce the amount of excessive cache stat dump. Also, simplified incMissCount()/incHitCount() functions.

2012-01-31MEM: Remove the otherPort from the cache portsAndreas Hansson
This patch is a very straight-forward simplification, removing the unecessary otherPort pointer from the cache port. The pointer was only used to forward range changes, and the address range is fixed for the cache. Removing the pointer simplifies the transition to master/slave ports.

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.
2011-11-07SE/FS: Get rid of FULL_SYSTEM in mem.Gabe Black
2011-04-15trace: reimplement the DTRACE function so it doesn't use a vectorNathan Binkert
At the same time, rename the trace flags to debug flags since they have broader usage than simply tracing. This means that --trace-flags is now --debug-flags and --trace-help is now --debug-help
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.
2011-01-07Replace curTick global variable with accessor functions.Steve Reinhardt
This step makes it easy to replace the accessor functions (which still access a global variable) with ones that access per-thread curTick values.
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).

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.
2008-10-09eventq: convert all usage of events to use the new API.Nathan Binkert
For now, there is still a single global event queue, but this is necessary for making the steps towards a parallelized m5.
