2019-05-29mem-cache: Support for page crossing prefetchesJavier Bueno
Prefetchers can now issue hardware prefetch requests that go beyond the boundaries of the system page. Page crossing references will need to look up the TLBs to be able to compute the physical address to be prefetched.

2019-05-20mem-cache: Add multi-prefetcher adaptorAndreas Sandberg
This patch adds a meta-prefetcher that enables gem5's cache models to connect to multiple prefetchers. Sub-prefetchers still use the probes-based interface and training can be controlled independently. However, when the cache requests a prefetch packet, the adaptor traverses the priority list of prefetchers and uses the first prefetcher that is able to generate a prefetch. Kudos to Mitch Hayenga for the original version of this patch.

This changeset adds support for partial (or masked) loads/stores, i.e. loads/stores that can disable accesses to individual bytes within the target address range. In addition, this changeset extends the code to crack memory accesses across most CPU models (TimingSimpleCPU still TBD), so that arbitrarily wide memory accesses are supported. These changes are required for supporting ISAs with wide vectors.

2019-05-08mem-cache: Remove writebacks packet listDaniel R. Carvalho
Previously all atomic writebacks concerned a single block, therefore, when a block was evicted, no other block would be pending eviction. With sector tags (and compression), however, a single replacement can generate many evictions. This can cause problems, since a writeback that evicts a block may evict blocks in the lower cache. If one of these conflict with one of the blocks pending eviction in the higher level, the snoop must inform it to the lower level. Since atomic mode does not have a writebuffer, this kind of conflict wouldn't be noticed. Therefore, instead of evicting multiple blocks at once, we do it one by one.

2019-05-08mem-cache: Handle data expansionDaniel R. Carvalho
When a block in compressed form is overwriten, it may change its size. If the new compressed size is bigger, and the total size becomes bigger than the block size, one or more blocks will have to be evicted. This is called data expansion, or fat writes. This change assumes that a first level cache cannot have a compressor, since otherwise data expansion should have been handled for atomic operations and writes. As such, data expansions should only be seen on writebacks. As writebacks are forwarded to the next level when failed, there should be no data expansions when servicing misses either. This patch adds the functionality to handle data expansions by evicting the co-allocated blocks to make room for an expanded block.

Add compression statistics to the compressors. It tracks the number of blocks that can fit into a certain power of two size, and the number of decompressions. For example, if a block is compressed to 100 bits, it will belong to the 128-bits compression size. Although it could also fit bigger sizes, they are not taken into account for the stats (i.e., the 100-bit compression will fit only the 128-bits size, not 256 or higher). We save stats for compressions that fail (i.e., compressed size is bigger than original cache line size).

2019-05-03mem-cache: Mark block as dirty after a SWPrefetchEXRespNikos Nikoleris
This is a workaround for a bug introduced from the change: 59e3585a8 arch-arm: We add PRFM PST instruction for arm which can cause deadlocks in the memory system. The design of the classic memory system in gem5 makes the folloing two assumptions: * A cache that fetches a block with an intention to modify it, becomes the point of ordering and therefore commits to respond to any snoop requests [1]. * A cache that fetches an exclusive copy of the block, does so with the intention to modify it [2]. Immediately after it receives the block, it will write to it and mark it as dirty. As the point of ordering, it responds to any outstanding snoops. The current implementation of prefetch exclusive request breaks the second assumption. A cache can fetch an exclusive block without an immediate intention to modify it. If the block is not modified, it will not be marked as dirty. However, the cache has committed to respond to outstanding snoops, and if the block is clean it won't. This can result in deadlocks where a snoop gets stuck waiting for responses. One solution (implemented by this patch) is to unconditionally mark the block dirty when filling due to a prefetch exclusive request. This makes the PrefetchExReq behave like a WriteReq. However, as it may mark as dirty a clean block, it creates the requirement for an uncessary WritebackDirty in the future. In practice, this shouldn't be a big problem unless the application is unnecessarily using prefetch exclusive instructions. Other solutions, would require deeper changes to the design of the memory system to handle this properly. [1]: When a cache commits to respond, it "informs" the xbar/PoC (point of coherence) and the other caches of its intention to respond. As a result the request will not be send to the main memory. [2]: In fact the assumption is that in the needsWritable MSHR there is at least one WriteReq before any snoops from other caches.

Patch 6d8694a5fb5cfb905186249581cc6a3fde6cc38a changes the order at which the access latency is calculated for hits. This order is incorrect, since the calculations must use the blk's whenReady value before the access is satisfied.

2019-03-07mem-cache: Allow tag-only accesses on latency calculationDaniel R. Carvalho
Some accesses only need to search for a tag in the tag array, with no need to touch the data array. This is the case for CleanEvicts, evicts that don't find a corresponding block entry (since a write cannot be done in parallel with tag lookup), and maintenance operations.

2019-03-07mem-cache: Add lookup latency to access' whenReadyDaniel R. Carvalho
When dealing with writebacks, as soon as the packet metadata arrives there will be a tag lookup, done sequentially because a write can't be done in parallel. While the tag lookup is being done, the payload will arrive. When both the payload are present and the tag is correct block entry is determined the fill happens.
