2018-02-08mem-cache: Make cache warmup percentage a parameter.Daniel R. Carvalho
The warmupPercentage is the percentage of different tags (based on the cache size) that need to be touched in order to warm up the cache. If Warmup failed (i.e., not enough tags were touched), warmup_cycle = 0. The warmup is not being taken into account to calculate the stats (i.e., stats acquisition starts before cache is warmed up). Maybe in the future this functionality should be added.

2018-02-07mem-cache: Only pendingModified MSHRs can satisfy CMO snoopsNikos Nikoleris
We set the satisfied flag when a cache clean request encounters: 1) a block with the dirty bit set, or 2) a pending modified MSHR which means that the cache will get copy of the block that will be soon modified. This changeset fixes a previous bug that set the satisfied flag on snooping MSHR hits even the pendingModified flags was not set.

2018-02-07mem-cache: Cleaned blocks should be marked as not writableNikos Nikoleris
A writeclean packet writes a dirty block to the memory below and therefore sets the dirty flag for the block when the memory below is a cache. If the block was also marked as writable it can satisfy future write requests without further requests/snoops. This can lead to multiple copies of the same block marked as dirty which is not allowed. This changeset clears the writable flag from the cleaned block to prevent the cache from satisfying future write requests without sending a downstream request.

2018-01-09mem-cache: Prune unnecessary writebacks in exclusive cachesNikos Nikoleris
Exclusive caches use the tempBlock to fill for responses from a downstream cache. The reason for this is that they only pass the block to the cache above without keeping a copy. When all requests are serviced the block is immediately invalidated unless it is dirty, in which case it has to be written back to the memory below. To avoid unnecessary writebacks, this changeset forces mostly exclusive caches to issuse requests that can only fetch clean data when possible.

2017-12-05mem: Co-ordination of CMOs in the xbarNikos Nikoleris
A clean packet request serving a cache maintenance operation (CMO) visits all memories down to the specified xbar. The visited caches invalidate their copy (if the CMO is invalidating) and if a dirty copy is found a write packet writes the dirty data to the memory level below the specified xbar. A response is send back when all the caches are clean and/or invalidated and the specified xbar has seen the write packet. This patch adds the following functionality in the xbar: 1) Accounts for the cache clean requests that go through the xbar 2) Generates the cache clean response when both the cache clean request and the corresponding writeclean packet has crossed the destination xbar. Previously transactions in the xbar were identified using the pointer of the original request. Cache clean transactions comprise of two different packets, the clean request and the writeclean, and therefore have different request pointers. This patch adds support for custom transaction IDs that by default take the value of the request pointer but can be overriden by the contructor. This allows the clean request and writeclean share the same id which the coherent xbar uses to co-ordinate them and send the response in a timely manner.

2017-12-05mem: Promote deferred targets only when the block is validNikos Nikoleris
When a response indicates that there are no other sharers of the block, the cache can promote its copy of the block to writable and potential service deferred targets even if the request didn't ask for a writable copy. Previously, a response would guarantee the presence of the block in the cache. A response could either be filling, upgrading or a response to an invalidation due to a pending whole line write. Responses to cache maintenance invalidations break this assumption. This change adds an extra check to make sure that the block was already valid or that the response is filling before promoting the block.

Previously, WriteClean packets would always write to the first memory below unless the memory was unable to allocate in which case it would be forwarded further below. This change adds support for specifying the destination of a WriteClean packet. The cache annotates the request with the specified destination and marks the packet as write-through upon its creation.

For the timing mode that means we can deal with all MSHR targets before taking any action and possibly dropping the block. The method satisfyCpuSideRequest is also renamed satisfyRequest as part of this change (since we only ever see requests from the cpu-side port).

2016-08-12mem: Add a FromCache packet attributeAndreas Hansson
This patch adds a FromCache attribute to the packet, and updates a number of the existing request commands to reflect that the request originates from a cache. The attribute simplifies checking if a requests came from a cache or not, and this is used by both the cache and snoop filter in follow-on patches.

2016-06-06sim: Call regStats of base-class as wellStephan Diestelhorst
We want to extend the stats of objects hierarchically and thus it is necessary to register the statistics of the base-class(es), as well. For now, these are empty, but generic stats will be added there. Patch originally provided by Akash Bagdia at ARM Ltd.
2016-05-26mem: Fix memory leak in handling of deferred snoopsAndreas Hansson
This patch fixes a memory leak where deferred snoop packets never got deallocated. On the call to MSHR::handleSnoop these snoops were treated as if a response will be sent, as the MSHR was pendingModified. Consequently, a copy of the packet was created and added to the MSHR targets. However, an preceeding target to the same MSHR, originally from a CPU, was serviced before the snoop, and caused the block to be invalidated. This happens for ReadExReq and UpgradeReq. Note that the original snoop will receive a response, just not from the cache in question, but instead from the cache upstream that issued the ReadExReq or UpgradeReq.
