For many years the slicc symbol table has supported overloaded functions in
external classes. This patch extends that support to functions that are not
part of classes (a.k.a. no parent). For example, this support allows slicc
to understand that mapAddressToRange is overloaded and the NodeID is an
optional parameter.
|
|
Adds features to allow protocols to reschedule controllers when conditionally
stalling within inport logic or actions. Also insures that resource and
protocol stalls are re-evaluated the next cycle.
|
|
This patch allows DPRINTFs to be used in SLICC state machines similar to how
they are used by the rest of gem5. Previously all DPRINTFs in the .sm files
had to use the RubySlicc flag.
|
|

|
To have multiple Entry types (e.g., a cache Entry type and
a directory Entry type), just declare one of them as a secondary
type by using the pair 'main="false"', e.g.:
structure(DirEntry, desc="...", interface="AbstractCacheEntry",
main="false") {
...and the primary type would be declared:
structure(Entry, desc="...", interface="AbstractCacheEntry") {
|
|
These were not generating the correct c names for types declared within a
machine scope.
|
|
|
|
This patch fixes the type handling when prefix operations are used. Previously
prefix operators would assume a void return type, which made it impossible to
combine prefix operations with other expressions. This patch allows SLICC
programmers to use prefix operations more naturally.
|
|
This patches adds support for transitions of the form:
transition(START, EVENTS, *) { ACTIONS }
This allows a machine to collapse states that differ only in the next state
transition to collapse into one, and can help shorten/simplfy some protocols
significantly.
When * is encountered as an end state of a transition, the next state is
determined by calling the machine-specific getNextState function. The next
state is determined before any actions of the transition execute, and
therefore the next state calculation cannot depend on any of the transition
actions.

This patch allows SLICC protocols to use more than one message type with a
message buffer. For example, you can declare two in ports as such:
in_port(ResponseQueue_in, ResponseMsg, responseFromDir, rank=3) { ... }
in_port(tgtResponseQueue_in, TgtResponseMsg, responseFromDir, rank=2) { ... }

This fix prevents spurious errors when searching for a symbol that may be
located in one of multiple symbol tables.

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 drops the NetworkMessage class. The relevant data members and functions
have been moved to the Message class, which was the parent of NetworkMessage.
|
|
No longer maintained. Updates are only made to the wiki page. So being
dropped.

This patch is the final in the series. The whole series and this patch in
particular were written with the aim of interfacing ruby's directory controller
with the memory controller in the classic memory system. This is being done
since ruby's memory controller has not being kept up to date with the changes
going on in DRAMs. Classic's memory controller is more up to date and
supports multiple different types of DRAM. This also brings classic and
ruby ever more close. The patch also changes ruby's memory controller to
expose the same interface.

This function was added when I had incorrectly arrived at the conclusion
that such a function can improve the chances of a functional read succeeding.
As was later realized, this is not possible in the current setup. While the
code using this function was dropped long back, this function was not. Hence
the patch.

This patch transitions the Ruby Message and its derived classes from
the ad-hoc RefCountingPtr to the c++11 shared_ptr. There are no
changes in behaviour, and the code modifications are mainly replacing
"new" with "make_shared".
The cloning of derived messages is slightly changed as they previously
relied on overriding the base-class through covariant return types.

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.
|
|
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. ':='.
|
|
This patch changes the grammar for SLICC so as to remove some of the
redundant / duplicate rules. In particular rules for object/variable
declaration and class member declaration have been unified. Similarly, the
rules for a general function and a class method have been unified.
One more change is in the priority of two rules. The first rule is on
declaring a function with all the params typed and named. The second rule is
on declaring a function with all the params only typed. Earlier the second
rule had a higher priority. Now the first rule has a higher priority.
|
|
This changeset does away with prefixing of member variables of state machines
with the identity of the machine itself.

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.

Using '== true' in a boolean expression is totally redundant,
and using '== false' is pretty verbose (and arguably less
readable in most cases) compared to '!'.
It's somewhat of a pet peeve, perhaps, but I had some time
waiting for some tests to run and decided to clean these up.
Unfortunately, SLICC appears not to have the '!' operator,
so I had to leave the '== false' tests in the SLICC code.

The functionality of updating and returning the delay cycles would now be
performed by the dequeue() function itself.
|
|
Has not been maintained at all. Since there is alternate documentation
available on gem5.org, no need to have this separately.
|

It had an unnecessary pairs token which is being removed.
|
|
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.

This variable causes trouble if a variable of same name is declared in a
protocol file. Hence it is being eliminated.
|
|
The first two levels (L0, L1) are private to the core, the third level (L2)is
possibly shared. The protocol supports clustered designs. For example, one
can have two sets of two cores. Each core has an L0 and L1 cache. There are
two L2 controllers where each set accesses only one of the L2 controllers.
|
|
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.

This patch replaces max_in_port_rank with the number of inports. The use of
max_in_port_rank was causing spurious re-builds and incorrect initialization
of variables in ruby related regression tests. This was due to the variable
value being used across threads while compiling when it was not meant to be.
Since the number of inports is state machine specific value, this problem
should get solved.

These constructs are not in use and are not being maintained by any one.
In addition, it is not known if doubleTrigger works correctly with Ruby now.
|
|
Some of the code in StateMachine.py file is added to all the controllers and
is independent of the controller definition. This code is being moved to the
AbstractController class which is the parent class of all controllers.

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.
