This patch fix some statistics that in presence of a resetStats
instruction were not reseted. This bug makes impossible to obtain
reliable network statistics when the simulation doesn't start from tick
zero.

The rr arbiter pointer in garnet was getting updated on every request,
even if there is no grant. This was leading to a huge variance in wait
time at a router at high injection rates.
This patch corrects it to update upon a grant.

Garnet's NetworkInterface does not consider the size of MessageBuffers when
ejecting a Message from the network. Add a size check for the MessageBuffer
and only enqueue if space is available. If space is not available, the
message if placed in a queue and the credit is held. A callback from the
MessageBuffer is implemented to wake the NetworkInterface. If there are
messages in the stalled queue, they are processed first, in a FIFO manner
and if succesfully ejected, the credit is finally sent back upstream. The
maximum size of the stall queue is equal to the number of valid VNETs
with MessageBuffers attached.

The NetworkInterface wakeup currently iterates over all VNETs and breaks the
loop if a VNET is unable to allocate a VC. This can cause a deadlock if a
lower numbered VNET is unable to allocate a VC while a higher numbered VNET
has idle VCs. This seems like a bug as Garnet 1.0 uses a while loop over an
if-statement, suggesting the break was intended for this while loop. This
patch removes the break statement, which allows up to one message to be
dequeued from a VNET and injected into the network.

This patch detects garnet network deadlock by monitoring
network interfaces. If a network interface continuously
fails to allocate virtual channels for a message, a
possible deadlock is detected.

1. Delete unused variable from struct LinkEntry
2. Correct GarnetExtLink and GarnetIntLink inheritance
|
|
This removes errors when building gem5.fast

|
Revamped version of garnet with more optimized single-cycle routers,
more configurability, and cleaner code.
