2012-11-16sim: have a curTick per eventqNilay Vaish
This patch adds a _curTick variable to an eventq. This variable is updated whenever an event is serviced in function serviceOne(), or all events upto a particular time are processed in function serviceEvents(). This change helps when there are eventqs that do not make use of curTick for scheduling events.
2012-10-15Mem: Separate the host and guest views of memory backing storeAndreas Hansson
This patch moves all the memory backing store operations from the independent memory controllers to the global physical memory. The main reason for this patch is to allow address striping in a future set of patches, but at this point it already provides some useful functionality in that it is now possible to change the number of memory controllers and their address mapping in combination with checkpointing. Thus, the host and guest view of the memory backing store are now completely separate. With this patch, the individual memory controllers are far simpler as all responsibility for serializing/unserializing is moved to the physical memory. Currently, the functionality is more or less moved from AbstractMemory to PhysicalMemory without any major changes. However, in a future patch the physical memory will also resolve any ranges that are interleaved and properly assign the backing store to the memory controllers, and keep the host memory as a single contigous chunk per address range. Functionality for future extensions which involve CPU virtualization also enable the host to get pointers to the backing store.
2012-09-19AddrRange: Transition from Range<T> to AddrRangeAndreas Hansson
This patch takes the final plunge and transitions from the templated Range class to the more specific AddrRange. In doing so it changes the obvious Range<Addr> to AddrRange, and also bumps the range_map to be AddrRangeMap. In addition to the obvious changes, including the removal of redundant includes, this patch also does some house keeping in preparing for the introduction of address interleaving support in the ranges. The Range class is also stripped of all the functionality that is never used. --HG-- rename : src/base/range.hh => src/base/addr_range.hh rename : src/base/range_map.hh => src/base/addr_range_map.hh
2012-04-06MEM: Enable multiple distributed generalized memoriesAndreas Hansson
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. --HG-- rename : src/mem/PhysicalMemory.py => src/mem/AbstractMemory.py rename : src/mem/PhysicalMemory.py => src/mem/SimpleMemory.py rename : src/mem/physical.cc => src/mem/abstract_mem.cc rename : src/mem/physical.hh => src/mem/abstract_mem.hh rename : src/mem/physical.cc => src/mem/simple_mem.cc rename : src/mem/physical.hh => src/mem/simple_mem.hh
2012-03-30Ruby: Remove the physMemPort and instead access memory directlyAndreas Hansson
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).
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: Move port creation to the memory object(s) constructionAndreas Hansson
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.

2012-01-17MEM: Remove the functional ports from the memory systemWilliam Wang
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.
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.

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.
2010-01-19util: do checkpoint aggregation more cleanly, fix last changeset.Lisa Hsu
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.
