Note current PRFM supports only PLD, but PST (prefetch for store) is
also important for latency hiding. We also bug fix in disassembler to
display prfop correctly.

This patch adds StreamID and SubstreamID to Request. These fields can
be used by a SMMU/IOMMU model to pick up the correct translation
context for each request and they correspond to an ASID in a device.
For this reason they have been merged together with the request asid
in a union, so that a cpu will set the asid and a device will set
the Stream and Substream ID.

AtomicOpFunctor can be used to implement atomic memory operations.
AtomicOpFunctor is captured inside a memory request and executed directly
in the memory hierarchy in a single step.
This patch enables AtomicOpFunctor pointers to be included in a memory
request and executed in a single step in the classic cache system.
This patch also makes the copy constructor of Request class do a deep
copy of AtomicOpFunctor object. This prevents a copy of a Request object
from accessing a deleted AtomicOpFunctor object.

This patch is changing the underlying type for RequestPtr from Request*
to shared_ptr<Request>. Having memory requests being managed by smart
pointers will simplify the code; it will also prevent memory leakage and
dangling pointers.

Cache maintenance operations go through the write channel of the
cpu. This changes makes sure that the cpu does not try to fill in the

This change adds new packet cmds and request flags for cache
maintenance operations.
1) A cache clean operation writes dirty data in the first memory below
the specified xbar and updates any old copies in the memories above
it.
2) A cache invalidate operation invalidates all copies of the
specified block in the memories above the specified xbar
3) A clean and invalidate operation is a combination of the two
operations above

Previously, WriteClean packets would always write to the first memory
below unless the memory was unable to allocate in which case it would
be forwarded further below.
This change adds support for specifying the destination of a
WriteClean packet. The cache annotates the request with the specified
destination and marks the packet as write-through upon its
creation. The coherent xbar checks packets for their destination and
resets the write-through flag when necessary e.g., the coherent xbar
that is set as the PoC will reset the write-through flag for packets
to the PoC.

In general, the ThreadID parameter is unnecessary in the memory system
as the ContextID is what is used for the purposes of locks/wakeups.
Since we allocate sequential ContextIDs for each thread on MT-enabled
CPUs, ThreadID is unnecessary as the CPUs can identify the requesting
thread through sideband info (SenderState / LSQ entries) or ContextID
offset from the base ContextID for a cpu.
This is a re-spin of 20264eb after the revert (bd1c6789) and includes
some fixes of that commit.

mem: support for gpu-style RMWs in ruby
This patch adds support for GPU-style read-modify-write (RMW) operations in
ruby. Such atomic operations are traditionally executed at the memory controller
(instead of through an L1 cache using cache-line locking).
Currently, this patch works by propogating operation functors through the memory
system.
|
|
This patch add support to mark memory requests/packets with attributes defined
in HSA, such as memory order and scope.
|
|
Make best use of the compiler, and enable -Wextra as well as
-Wall. There are a few issues that had to be resolved, but they are
all trivial.
|
|
Add support for acquire and release requests. These synchronization operations
are commonly supported by several modern instruction sets.
|
|
This patch adds support to optionally capture the virtual address and asid
for load/store instructions in the elastic traces. If they are present in
the traces, Trace CPU will set those fields of the request during replay.
|
|
This patch adds the instruction sequence number to the request and provides a
request constructor that accepts a sequence number for initialization.
|
|
Cleaning up dead code. The CLREX stores zero directly to
MISCREG_LOCKFLAG and so the request flag is no longer needed. The
corresponding functionality in the cache tags is also removed.
|
|
A more natural home for this constant.
|
|
Context IDs used to be declared as ad hoc (usually as int). This
changeset introduces a typedef for ContextIDs and a constant for
invalid context IDs.
|
|
This patch removes the extraneous flags and attributes from the
request and packet, and simply leaves the new commands. The change
introduced when adding acquire/release breaks all compatibility with
existing traces, and there is really no need for any new flags and
attributes. The commands should be sufficient.
This patch fixes packet tracing (urgent), and also removes the
unnecessary complexity.

This patch fixes an issue which is very wide spread in the codebase,
causing sporadic linking failures. The issue is that we declare static
const class variables in the header, without any definition (as part
of a source file). In most cases the compiler propagates the value and
we have no issues. However, especially for less optimising builds such
as debug, we get sporadic linking failures due to undefined
references.
This patch fixes the Request class, by turning the static const flags
and master IDs into C++11 typed enums.

The Request::UNCACHEABLE flag currently has two different
functions. The first, and obvious, function is to prevent the memory
system from caching data in the request. The second function is to
prevent reordering and speculation in CPU models.
This changeset gives the order/speculation requirement a separate flag
(Request::STRICT_ORDER). This flag prevents CPU models from doing the
following optimizations:
* Speculation: CPU models are not allowed to issue speculative
loads.
* Write combining: CPU models and caches are not allowed to merge
writes to the same cache line.
Note: The memory system may still reorder accesses unless the
UNCACHEABLE flag is set. It is therefore expected that the
STRICT_ORDER flag is combined with the UNCACHEABLE flag to prevent
this behavior.
|
|
Move Alpha-specific memory request flags to an architecture-specific
header and map them to the architecture specific flag bit range.
|
|
Makes x86-style locked operations even more distinct from
LLSC operations. Using "locked" by itself should be
obviously ambiguous now.
|
|
This patch does a bit of house keeping, fixing up typos, removing dead
code etc.
|
|
This patch tidies up how we create and set the fields of a Request. In
essence it tries to use the constructor where possible (as opposed to
setPhys and setVirt), thus avoiding spreading the information across a
number of locations. In fact, setPhys is made private as part of this
patch, and a number of places where we callede setVirt instead uses
the appropriate constructor.
|
|
This patch tidies up the Request class, making all getters const. The
odd one out is incAccessDepth which is called by the memory system as
packets carry the request around. This is also const to enable the
packet to hold on to a const Request.
|
|
Determine if a request has an associated virtual address.
|
|
Static analysis unearther a bunch of uninitialised variables and
members, and this patch addresses the problem. In all cases these
omissions seem benign in the end, but at least fixing them means less
false positives next time round.

This patch extends the classic prefetcher to work on non-block aligned
addresses. Because the existing prefetchers in gem5 mask off the lower
address bits of cache accesses, many predictable strides fail to be
detected. For example, if a load were to stride by 48 bytes, with 64 byte
cachelines, the current stride based prefetcher would see an access pattern
of 0, 64, 64, 128, 192.... Thus not detecting a constant stride pattern. This
patch fixes this, by training the prefetcher on access and not masking off the
lower address bits.
It also adds the following configuration options:
1) Training/prefetching only on cache misses,
2) Training/prefetching only on data acceses,
3) Optionally tagging prefetches with a PC address.
#3 allows prefetchers to train off of prefetch requests in systems with
multiple cache levels and PC-based prefetchers present at multiple levels.
It also effectively allows a pipelining of prefetch requests (like in POWER4)
across multiple levels of cache hierarchy.
Improves performance on my gem5 configuration by 4.3% for SPECINT and 4.7% for SPECFP (geomean).

|

This patch enables tracking of cache occupancy per thread along with
ages (in buckets) per cache blocks. Cache occupancy stats are
recalculated on each stat dump.
|
|
Add some values and methods to the request object to track the translation
and access latency for a request and which level of the cache hierarchy responded
to the request.
|

This patch adds a flag in the request class that indicates if the request
was made in privileged mode.

ASI_BITS in the Request object were originally used to store a memory
request's ASI on SPARC. This is not the case any more since other ISAs
use the ASI bits to store architecture-dependent information. This
changeset renames the ASI_BITS to ARCH_BITS which better describes
their use. Additionally, the getAsi() accessor is renamed to
getArchFlags().
|
|
Using address bit 63 to identify generic IPRs caused problems on
SPARC, where IPRs are heavily used. This changeset redefines how
generic IPRs are identified. Instead of using bit 63, we now use a
separate flag (GENERIC_IPR) a memory request.
|
|
Reuse the address finalization code in the TLB instead of replicating
it when handling MMIO. This patch also adds support for injecting
memory mapped IPR requests into the memory system.

This patch enables dumping statistics and Linux process information on
context switch boundaries (__switch_to() calls) that are used for
Streamline integration (a graphical statistics viewer from ARM).

While FastAlloc provides a small performance increase (~1.5%) over regular malloc it isn't thread safe.
After removing FastAlloc and using tcmalloc I've seen a performance increase of 12% over libc malloc
when running twolf for ARM.

This patch fixes the cache stats to use the new request ids.
Cache stats also display the requestor names in the vector subnames.
Most cache stats now include "nozero" and "nonan" flags to reduce the
amount of excessive cache stat dump. Also, simplified
incMissCount()/incHitCount() functions.
|
|
This change adds a master id to each request object which can be
used identify every device in the system that is capable of issuing a request.
This is part of the way to removing the numCpus+1 stats in the cache and
replacing them with the master ids. This is one of a series of changes
that make way for the stats output to be changed to python.

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.

This step makes it easy to replace the accessor functions

These flags were being used to identify what alignment a request needed, but
the same information is available using the request size. This change also
eliminates the isMisaligned function. If more complicated alignment checks are
needed, they can be signaled using the ASI_BITS space in the flags vector like
is currently done with ARM.
