not all uses of MachineID initialize its fields, so here we add a default
ctor.

Result of running 'hg m5style --skip-all --fix-control -a' to get
rid of '== true' comparisons, plus trivial manual edits to get
rid of '== false'/'== False' comparisons.
Left a couple of explicit comparisons in where they didn't seem
unreasonable:
invalid boolean comparison in src/arch/mips/interrupts.cc:155
>> DPRINTF(Interrupt, "Interrupts OnCpuTimerINterrupt(tc) == true\n");<<
invalid boolean comparison in src/unittest/unittest.hh:110
>> "EXPECT_FALSE(" #expr ")", (expr) == false)<<

This patch adds support for write-combining in ruby.
|
|
This patch add support to mark memory requests/packets with attributes defined
in HSA, such as memory order and scope.

The BoolVec typedef and insertion operator overload function simplify usage of
vectors of type bool
|
|
This patch moves away from using M5_ATTR_OVERRIDE and the m5::hashmap
(and similar) abstractions, as these are no longer needed with gcc 4.7
and clang 3.1 as minimum compiler versions.

Changeset 4872dbdea907 replaced Address by Addr, but did not make changes to
print statements. So the addresses which were being printed in hex earlier
along with their line address, were now being printed in decimals. This patch
adds a function printAddress(Addr) that can be used to print the address in hex
along with the lines address. This function has been put to use in some of the
places. At other places, change has been made to print just the address in
hex.

The eventual aim of this change is to pass RubySystem pointers through to
objects generated from the SLICC protocol code.
Because some of these objects need to dereference their RubySystem pointers,
they need access to the System.hh header file.
In src/mem/ruby/SConscript, the MakeInclude function creates single-line header
files in the build directory that do nothing except include the corresponding
header file from the source tree.
However, SLICC also generates a list of header files from its symbol table, and
writes it to mem/protocol/Types.hh in the build directory. This code assumes
that the header file name is the same as the class name.
The end result of this is the many of the generated slicc files try to include
RubySystem.hh, when the file they really need is System.hh. The path of least
resistence is just to rename System.hh to RubySystem.hh.

The current Set data structure is slow and therefore is being reimplemented
using std::bitset. A maximum limit of 64 is being set on the number of
controllers of each type. This means that for simulating a system with more
controllers of a given type, one would need to change the value of the variable
NUMBER_BITS_PER_SET
|
|
These types are being replaced with uint64_t and int64_t.

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.
|
|
This is another step in the process of removing global variables
from Ruby to enable multiple RubySystem instances in a single simulation.
The list of abstract controllers is per-RubySystem and should be
represented that way, rather than as a global.
Since this is the last remaining Ruby global variable, the
src/mem/ruby/Common/Global.* files are also removed.
|
|
This is another step in the process of removing global variables
from Ruby to enable multiple RubySystem instances in a single simulation.
With possibly multiple RubySystem objects, we can no longer use a global
variable to find "the" RubySystem object. Instead, each Ruby component
has to carry a pointer to the RubySystem object to which it belongs.
|
|
This patch begins the process of removing global variables from the Ruby
source with the goal of eventually allowing users to create multiple Ruby
instances in a single simulation. Currently, users cannot do so because
several global variables and static members are referenced by the RubySystem
object in a way that assumes that there will only ever be a single RubySystem.
These need to be replaced with per-RubySystem equivalents.
This specific patch replaces the global var g_ruby_start, which is used
to calculate throughput statistics for Throttles in simple networks and
links in Garnet networks, with a RubySystem instance var m_start_cycle.

This patch drops the NetworkMessage class. The relevant data members and functions
have been moved to the Message class, which was the parent of NetworkMessage.

UBSan complains about negative value being shifted
|
|
This patch takes a first step in tightening up how we use the data
pointer in write packets. A const getter is added for the pointer
itself (getConstPtr), and a number of member functions are also made
const accordingly. In a range of places throughout the memory system
the new member is used.
The patch also removes the unused isReadWrite function.
|
|
This patch takes a step towards an ISA-agnostic memory
system by enabling the components to establish the page size after
instantiation. The swap operation in the memory is now also allowing
any granularity to avoid depending on the IntReg of the ISA.

This patch tidies up random number generation to ensure that it is
done consistently throughout the code base. In essence this involves a
clean-up of Ruby, and some code simplifications in the traffic
generator.
As part of this patch a bunch of skewed distributions (off-by-one etc)
have been fixed.
Note that a single global random number generator is used, and that
the object instantiation order will impact the behaviour (the sequence
of numbers will be unaffected, but if module A calles random before
module B then they would obviously see a different outcome). The
dependency on the instantiation order is true in any case due to the
execution-model of gem5, so we leave it as is. Also note that the
global ranom generator is not thread safe at this point.
Regressions using the memtest, TrafficGen or any Ruby tester are
affected and will be updated accordingly.
|
|
This patch prunes unused values, and also unifies how the values are
defined (not using an enum for ALPHA), aligning the use of int vs Addr
etc.
The patch also removes the duplication of PageBytes/PageShift and
VMPageSize/LogVMPageSize. For all ISAs the two pairs had identical
values and the latter has been removed.

The Index type defined as typedef int64 does not really provide any help
since in most places we use primitive types instead of Index. Also, the name
Index is very generic that it does not merit being used as a typename.
|
|
There is another type Time in src/base class which results in a conflict.

The directory ruby/system is crowded and unorganized. Hence, the files the
hold actual physical structures, are being moved to the directory
ruby/structures. This includes Cache Memory, Directory Memory,
Memory Controller, Wire Buffer, TBE Table, Perfect Cache Memory, Timer Table,
Bank Array.
The directory ruby/systems has the glue code that holds these structures
together.

Each consumer object maintains a set of tick values when the object is supposed
to wakeup and do some processing. As of now, the object accesses this set both
when scheduling a wakeup event and when the object actually wakes up. The set
is accessed during wakeup to remove the current tick value from the set. This
functionality is now being moved to the scheduling function where ticks are
removed at a later time.

A cluster over here means a set of controllers that can be accessed only by a
certain set of cores. For example, consider a two level hierarchy. Assume
there are 4 L1 controllers (private) and 2 L2 controllers. We can have two
different hierarchies here:
a. the address space is partitioned between the two L2 controllers. Each L1
controller accesses both the L2 controllers. In this case, each L1 controller
is a cluster initself.
b. both the L2 controllers can cache any address. An L1 controller has access
to only one of the L2 controllers. In this case, each L2 controller
along with the L1 controllers that access it, form a cluster.
This patch allows for each controller to have a cluster ID, which is 0 by
default. By setting the cluster ID properly, one can instantiate hierarchies
with clusters. Note that the coherence protocol might have to be changed as
well.

The patch started of with removing the global variables from the profiler for
profiling the miss latency of requests made to the cache. The corrresponding
histograms have been moved to the Sequencer. These are combined together when
the histograms are printed. Separate histograms are now maintained for
tracking latency of all requests together, of hits only and of misses only.
A particular set of histograms used to use the type GenericMachineType defined
in one of the protocol files. This patch removes this type. Now, everything
that relied on this type would use MachineType instead. To do this, SLICC has
been changed so that multiple machine types can be declared by a controller
in its preamble.

Due to recent changes to clocking system in Ruby and the way Ruby restores
state from a checkpoint, garnet was failing to run from a checkpointed state.
The problem is that Ruby resets the time to zero while warming up the caches.
If any component records a local copy of the time (read calls curCycle())
before the simulation has started, then that component will not operate until
that time is reached. In the context of this particular patch, the Garnet
Network class calls curCycle() at multiple places. Any non-operational
component can block in requests in the memory system, which the system
interprets as a deadlock. This patch makes changes so that Garnet can
successfully run from checkpointed state.
It adds a globally visible time at which the actual execution started. This
time is initialized in RubySystem::startup() function. This variable is only
meant for components with in Ruby. This replaces the private variable that
was maintained within Garnet since it is not possible to figure out the
correct time when the value of this variable can be set.
The patch also does away with all cases where curCycle() is called with in
some Ruby component before the system has actually started executing. This
is required due to the quirky manner in which ruby restores from a checkpoint.

A set of patches was recently committed to allow multiple clock domains
in ruby. In those patches, I had inadvertently made an incorrect use of
the clocks. Suppose object A needs to schedule an event on object B. It
was possible that A accesses B's clock to schedule the event. This is not
possible in actual system. Hence, changes are being to the Consumer class
so as to avoid such happenings. Note that in a multi eventq simulation,
this can possibly lead to an incorrect simulation.
There are two functions in the Consumer class that are used for scheduling
events. The first function takes in the relative delay over the current time
as the argument and adds the current time to it for scheduling the event.
The second function takes in the absolute time (in ticks) for scheduling the
event. The first function is now being moved to protected section of the
class so that only objects of the derived classes can use it. All other
objects will have to specify absolute time while scheduling an event
for some consumer.

This patch fixes the warnings that clang3.2svn emit due to the "-Wall"
flag. There is one case of an uninitialised value in the ARM neon ISA
description, and then a whole range of unused private fields that are
pruned.

This patch is as of now the final patch in the series of patches that replace
Time with Cycles.This patch further replaces Time with Cycles in Sequencer,
Profiler, different protocols and related entities.
Though Time has not been completely removed, the places where it is in use
seem benign as of now.
|
|
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.

This patch modifies the Histogram class' add() function so that it can add
linear histograms as well. The function assumes that the left end point of
the ranges of the two histograms are the same. It also assumes that when
the ranges of the two histogram are changed to accomodate an element not in
the range, the factor used in changing the range is same for both the
histograms.
This function is then used in removing one of the calls to the global
profiler*. The histograms for recording the delays incurred in processing
different requests are now maintained by the controllers. The profiler
adds these histograms when it needs to print the stats.
|
|
This patch does several things. First, the counter for fully busy cycles for a
controller is now kept with in the controller, instead of being part of the profiler.
Second, the topology class no longer keeps an array of controllers which was only
used for printing stats. Instead, ruby system will now ask each controller to print
the stats. Thirdly, the statistical variable for recording how many different types
were created is being moved in to the controller from the profiler. Note that for
printing, the profiler will collate results from different controllers.
|
|
This patch was initiated so as to remove reference to g_system_ptr,
the pointer to Ruby System that is used for getting the current time.
That simple change actual requires changing a lot many things in slicc and
garnet. All these changes are related to how time is handled.
In most of the places, g_system_ptr has been replaced by another clock
object. The changes have been done under the assumption that all the
components in the memory system are on the same clock frequency, but the
actual clocks might be distributed.
|
|
Many Ruby structures inherit from the Consumer, which is used for scheduling
events. The Consumer used to relay on an Event Manager for scheduling events
and on g_system_ptr for time. With this patch, the Consumer will now use a
ClockedObject to schedule events and to query for current time. This resulted
in several structures being converted from SimObjects to ClockedObjects. Also,
the MessageBuffer class now requires a pointer to a ClockedObject so as to
query for time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This patch removes the use of g_system_ptr for event scheduling. Each consumer
object now needs to specify upfront an EventManager object it would use for
scheduling events. This makes the ruby memory system more amenable for a
multi-threaded simulation.
