2018-09-13mem-cache: Fix bug in handleAtomicReqMissNikos Nikoleris
"4976ff5 mem-cache: Refactor the recvAtomic function" introduced a bug where if an atomic request that fills in using the tempBlock it will not evict it when it finishes handling the request as it should. This triggers an assertion. This change fixes this bug.

2018-09-07mem-cache: Create Skewed Assoc placement policyDaniel R. Carvalho
Create a class that implements the skewed associative placement policy. It uses the hash function and expansions of the skewing functions described in "Skewed-Associative caches", by Seznec. Only 8 skewing functions are implemented, and therefore if more are needed a hash function will be recursively applied on top of the output of one of these functions to generate different values. This is not optimal, and if more functions are needed it might be more effective to implement them.

2018-06-22mem-cache: Fix promoting of targets that need writableNikos Nikoleris
There are cases where a request which does not need a writable copy gets an response upgraded reponse and fills in a writable copy. When this happens, we promote deferred MSHR targets that were deferred because they needed a writable copy to service them immediately. Previously, we would uncoditionally promote deferred targets. Since the deferred targets might contain a cache invalidation operation, we have to make sure that any targets following the cache invalidation is not promoted.

2018-06-08mem-cache: Return evictions along with victimsDaniel R. Carvalho
For both sector and compressed caches multiple blocks may need to be evicted in order to make room for a new block. For example, when replacing a sector, all the blocks in this sector must be evicted. A replacement, however, does not always need to evict multiple blocks, as it is in the case of an insertion of a block whose sector is already present in the cache (i.e., its corresponding entry in the sector had not been brought in yet, so it was invalid). This patch creates the cache framework for that to happen.

2018-05-17mem-cache: Remove isTouched field from the CacheBlkNikos Nikoleris
At the moment isTouched is used in the warm-up detection mechanism but it keeps track of the same information as isValid(). This change removes it and substitutes its use by isValid().

2018-05-17mem-cache: Simplify writeback for the tempBlock in recvTimingRespNikos Nikoleris
When we use the tempBlock to fill-in, we have to write it back and invalidate it at the end of current transaction. This patch simplifies the writeback flow by treating it as a regular writeback.

2018-05-08mem-cache: Create block insertion functionDaniel R. Carvalho
Create a block insertion function to be used when inserting blocks. This resets the number of references to 1 (the insertion is taken into account), sets the insertion tick, and set secure state.

Implementation of a Second-Chance replacement policy. Similar to FIFO, but every block is given a second chance if it has been touched.

2018-05-03mem-cache: ReplacementPolicy specific replacement dataDaniel R. Carvalho
Replacement data is specific for each replacement policy, and thus should be instantiated differently by each policy. Touch() and reset() do not need to be aware of CacheBlk, as they only update its ReplacementData. Invalidate() makes replacement policies independent of cache blocks, by removing the awareness of the valid state. An inheritable base ReplaceableEntry class was created to allow usage of replacement policies with any table-like structure.

2018-04-27sim,cpu,mem,arch: Introduced MasterInfo data structureGiacomo Travaglini
With this patch a gem5 System will store more info about its Masters. While it was previously keeping track of the Master name and Master ID only, it is now adding a per-Master pointer to the SimObject related to the Master. This will make it possible for a client to query a System for a Master using either the master's name or the master's pointer.

2018-04-26mem-cache: Use block iteration in BaseSetAssocDaniel R. Carvalho
Use block iteration instead of numSets and assoc in print(), cleanupRefs() and computeStats(). This makes these functions rely solely on what they are used for: printing and calculating stats of blocks. With the addition of Sectors an extra indirection level is added, and thus these functions would be skipping blocks.
