2017-06-13ruby: Add support for address ranges in the directoryNikos Nikoleris
Previously the directory covered a flat address range that always started from address 0. This change adds a vector of address ranges with interleaving and hashing that each directory keeps track of and the necessary flexibility to support systems with non continuous memory ranges.

2016-10-26ruby: Allow multiple outstanding DMA requestsMichael LeBeane
DMA sequencers and protocols can currently only issue one DMA access at a time. This patch implements the necessary functionality to support multiple outstanding DMA requests in Ruby.
2015-07-20ruby: slicc: have a static MachineTypeTony Gutierrez
This patch is imported from reviewboard patch 2551 by Nilay. This patch moves from a dynamically defined MachineType to a statically defined one. The need for this patch was felt since a dynamically defined type prevents us from having types for which no machine definition may exist. The following changes have been made: i. each machine definition now uses a type from the MachineType enumeration instead of any random identifier. This required changing the grammar and the *.sm files. ii. MachineType enumeration defined statically in RubySlicc_Exports.sm. * * * normal protocol fixes for nilay's parser machine type fix
2015-09-16ruby: message buffer, timer table: significant changesNilay Vaish
This patch changes MessageBuffer and TimerTable, two structures used for buffering messages by components in ruby. These structures would no longer maintain pointers to clock objects. Functions in these structures have been changed to take as input current time in Tick. Similarly, these structures will not operate on Cycle valued latencies for different operations. The corresponding functions would need to be provided with these latencies by components invoking the relevant functions. These latencies should also be in Ticks. I felt the need for these changes while trying to speed up ruby. The ultimate aim is to eliminate Consumer class and replace it with an EventManager object in the MessageBuffer and TimerTable classes. This object would be used for scheduling events. The event itself would contain information on the object and function to be invoked. In hindsight, it seems I should have done this while I was moving away from use of a single global clock in the memory system. That change led to introduction of clock objects that replaced the global clock object. It never crossed my mind that having clock object pointers is not a good design. And now I really don't like the fact that we have separate consumer, receiver and sender pointers in message buffers.
2015-09-05ruby: declare all protocol message buffers as parametersNilay Vaish
MessageBuffer is a SimObject now. There were protocols that still declared some of the message buffers are variables of the controller, but not as input parameters. Special handling was required for these variables in the SLICC compiler. This patch changes this. Now all message buffers are declared as input parameters.
2015-08-14ruby: replace Address by AddrNilay Vaish
This patch eliminates the type Address defined by the ruby memory system. This memory system would now use the type Addr that is in use by the rest of the system.

2014-11-06ruby: coherence protocols: remove data block from dirctory entryNilay Vaish
This patch removes the data block present in the directory entry structure of each protocol in gem5's mainline. Firstly, this is required for moving towards common set of memory controllers for classic and ruby memory systems. Secondly, the data block was being misused in several places. It was being used for having free access to the physical memory instead of calling on the memory controller. From now on, the directory controller will not have a direct visibility into the physical memory. The Memory Vector object now resides in the Memory Controller class. This also means that some significant changes are being made to the functional accesses in ruby.
2014-09-01ruby: message buffers: significant changesNilay Vaish
This patch is the final patch in a series of patches. The aim of the series is to make ruby more configurable than it was. More specifically, the connections between controllers are not at all possible (unless one is ready to make significant changes to the coherence protocol). Moreover the buffers themselves are magically connected to the network inside the slicc code. These connections are not part of the configuration file. This patch makes changes so that these connections will now be made in the python configuration files associated with the protocols. This requires each state machine to expose the message buffers it uses for input and output. So, the patch makes these buffers configurable members of the machines. The patch drops the slicc code that usd to connect these buffers to the network. Now these buffers are exposed to the python configuration system as Master and Slave ports. In the configuration files, any master port can be connected any slave port. The file pyobject.cc has been modified to take care of allocating the actual message buffer. This is inline with how other port connections work.
2014-09-01ruby: slicc: change the way configurable members are specifiedNilay Vaish
There are two changes this patch makes to the way configurable members of a state machine are specified in SLICC. The first change is that the data member declarations will need to be separated by a semi-colon instead of a comma. Secondly, the default value to be assigned would now use SLICC's assignment operator i.e. ':='.
2014-04-08ruby: slicc: change enqueue statementNilay Vaish
As of now, the enqueue statement can take in any number of 'pairs' as argument. But we only use the pair in which latency is the key. This latency is allowed to be either a fixed integer or a member variable of controller in which the expression appears. This patch drops the use of pairs in an enqueue statement. Instead, an expression is allowed which will be interpreted to be the latency of the enqueue. This expression can anything allowed by slicc including a constant integer or a member variable.

2013-02-10ruby: replaces Time with Cycles in many placesNilay Vaish
The patch started of with replacing Time with Cycles in the Consumer class. But to get ruby to compile, the rest of the changes had to be carried out. Subsequent patches will further this process, till we completely replace Time with Cycles.

2011-06-30Ruby: Add support for functional accessesBrad Beckmann ext:(%2C%20Nilay%20Vaish%20%3Cnilay%40cs.wisc.edu%3E)
This patch rpovides functional access support in Ruby. Currently only the M5Port of RubyPort supports functional accesses. The support for functional through the PioPort will be added as a separate patch.
2011-06-08Ruby: Correctly set access permissions for directory entriesNilay Vaish
The access permissions for the directory entries are not being set correctly. This is because pointers are not used for handling directory entries. function. get and set functions for access permissions have been added to the Controller state machine. The changePermission() function provided by the AbstractEntry and AbstractCacheEntry classes has been exposed to SLICC code once again. The set_permission() functionality has been removed. NOTE: Each protocol will have to define these get and set functions in order to compile successfully.

Forgot to add this to MI_example in my previous patch.
2011-02-23ruby: automate permission settingBrad Beckmann
This patch integrates permissions with cache and memory states, and then automates the setting of permissions within the generated code. No longer does one need to manually set the permissions within the setState funciton. This patch will faciliate easier functional access support by always correctly setting permissions for both cache and memory states. --HG-- rename : src/mem/slicc/ast/EnumDeclAST.py => src/mem/slicc/ast/StateDeclAST.py rename : src/mem/slicc/ast/TypeFieldEnumAST.py => src/mem/slicc/ast/TypeFieldStateAST.py

2009-08-04slicc: added MOESI_CMP_directory, DMA SequencerMsg, parameterized controllersDerek Hower
This changeset contains a lot of different changes that are too mingled to separate. They are: 1. Added MOESI_CMP_directory I made the changes necessary to bring back MOESI_CMP_directory, including adding a DMA controller. I got rid of MOESI_CMP_directory_m and made MOESI_CMP_directory use a memory controller. Added a new configuration for two level protocols in general, and MOESI_CMP_directory in particular. 2. DMA Sequencer uses a generic SequencerMsg I will eventually make the cache Sequencer use this type as well. It doesn't contain an offset field, just a physical address and a length. MI_example has been updated to deal with this. 3. Parameterized Controllers SLICC controllers can now take custom parameters to use for mapping, latencies, etc. Currently, only int parameters are supported.
2009-07-18ruby: fixed dma sequencer bugDerek Hower
The DMASequencer was still using a parameter from the old RubyConfig, causing an offset error when the requested data wasn't block aligned. This changeset also includes a fix to MI_example for a similar bug.
2009-07-06ruby: Import the latest ruby changes from gems.Nathan Binkert
This was done with an automated process, so there could be things that were done in this tree in the past that didn't make it. One known regression is that atomic memory operations do not seem to work properly anymore.
