This patch removes the assumption on having on single instance of
PhysicalMemory, and enables a distributed memory where the individual
memories in the system are each responsible for a single contiguous
address range.
All memories inherit from an AbstractMemory that encompasses the basic
behaviuor of a random access memory, and provides untimed access
methods. What was previously called PhysicalMemory is now
SimpleMemory, and a subclass of AbstractMemory. All future types of
memory controllers should inherit from AbstractMemory.
To enable e.g. the atomic CPU and RubyPort to access the now
distributed memory, the system has a wrapper class, called
PhysicalMemory that is aware of all the memories in the system and
their associated address ranges. This class thus acts as an
infinitely-fast bus and performs address decoding for these "shortcut"
accesses. Each memory can specify that it should not be part of the
global address map (used e.g. by the functional memories by some
testers). Moreover, each memory can be configured to be reported to
the OS configuration table, useful for populating ATAG structures, and
any potential ACPI tables.
Checkpointing support currently assumes that all memories have the
same size and organisation when creating and resuming from the
checkpoint. A future patch will enable a more flexible
re-organisation.

This patch removes the physMemPort from the RubySequencer and instead
uses the system pointer to access the physmem. The system already
keeps track of the physmem and the valid memory address ranges, and
with this patch we merely make use of that existing functionality. The
memory is modified so that it is possible to call the access functions
(atomic and functional) without going through the port, and the memory
is allowed to be unconnected, i.e. have no ports (since Ruby does not
attach it like the conventional memory system).

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.

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.

This patch moves all port creation from the getPort method to be
consistently done in the MemObject's constructor. This is possible
thanks to the Swig interface passing the length of the vector ports.
Previously there was a mix of: 1) creating the ports as members (at
object construction time) and using getPort for the name resolution,
or 2) dynamically creating the ports in the getPort call. This is now
uniform. Furthermore, objects that would not be complete without a
port have these ports as members rather than having pointers to
dynamically allocated ports.
This patch also enables an elaboration-time enumeration of all the
ports in the system which can be used to determine the masterId.

The functional ports are no longer used and this patch cleans up the
legacy that is still present in buses, memories, CPUs etc. Note that
this does not refer to the class FunctionalPort (already removed), but
rather ports with the name (and use) functional.
|
|
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.

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

There may not be a formally correct spelling for the past tense of mmap, but
mmapped is the spelling Google doesn't try to autocorrect. This makes sense
because it mirrors the past tense of map->mapped and not the past tense of
cape->caped.

really needed.

This change removes some dead code in PhysicalMemory, uses a 64 bit type
for the page pointer in System (instead of 32 bit) and cleans up some style.
|
|
|
|
Physmem has a parameter to be able to mem map a file, however
it isn't actually used. This changeset utilizes the parameter
so a file can be mmapped.
|
|
1) Move alpha-specific code out of page_table.cc:serialize().
2) Begin serializing M5_pid and unserializing it, but adding an function to do optional paramIn so that old checkpoints don't need to be fixed up.
3) Fix up alpha startup code so that the unserialized M5_pid value is properly written to DTB_IPR_ASN.
4) Fix the memory unserialize that I forgot somehow in the last changeset.
5) Add in an agg_se.py to handle aggregated checkpoints. --bench foo-bar plus positional arguments foo bar are the only changes in usage from se.py.
Note this aggregation stuff has only been tested for Alpha and nothing else, though it should take a very minimal amount of work to get it to work with another ISA.

It's still broken in inorder.
Also enhance DPRINTFs in cache and physical memory so we
can see more easily whether it's getting set or not.

the primary identifier for a hardware context should be contextId(). The
concept of threads within a CPU remains, in the form of threadId() because
sometimes you need to know which context within a cpu to manipulate.

For now, there is still a single global event queue, but this is
necessary for making the steps towards a parallelized m5.

Make sure not to keep processing functional accesses
after they've been responded to.
Also use checkFunctional() return value instead of checking
packet command field where possible, mostly just for consistency.

- factor out checkFunctional() code so it can be
called from derived classes
- use EventWrapper for sendEvent, move event handling
code from event to port where it belongs
- make sendEvent a pointer so derived classes can
override it
- replace std::pair with new class for readability
