This patch fixes a long-standing isue with the port flow
control. Before this patch the retry mechanism was shared between all
different packet classes. As a result, a snoop response could get
stuck behind a request waiting for a retry, even if the send/recv
functions were split. This caused message-dependent deadlocks in
stress-test scenarios.
The patch splits the retry into one per packet (message) class. Thus,
sendTimingReq has a corresponding recvReqRetry, sendTimingResp has
recvRespRetry etc. Most of the changes to the code involve simply
clarifying what type of request a specific object was accepting.
The biggest change in functionality is in the cache downstream packet
queue, facing the memory. This queue was shared by requests and snoop
responses, and it is now split into two queues, each with their own
flow control, but the same physical MasterPort. These changes fixes
the previously seen deadlocks.

This patch changes the SimpleTimingPort and RubyPort to panic on
inhibited requests as this should never happen in either of the
cases. The SimpleTimingPort is only used for the I/O devices PIO port
and the DMA devices config port and should thus never see an inhibited
request. Similarly, the SimpleTimingPort is also used for the
MessagePort in x86, and there should also not be any cases where the
port sees an inhibited request.
|
|
This patch extends the queued port interfaces with methods for
scheduling the transmission of a timing request/response. The methods
are named similar to the corresponding sendTiming(Snoop)Req/Resp,
replacing the "send" with "sched". As the queues are currently
unbounded, the methods always succeed and hence do not return a value.
This functionality was previously provided in the subclasses by
calling PacketQueue::schedSendTiming with the appropriate
parameters. With this change, there is no need to introduce these
extra methods in the subclasses, and the use of the queued interface
is more uniform and explicit.
|
|
This patch makes the queue implementation in the SimpleTimingPort
private to avoid confusion with the protected member queue in the
QueuedSlavePort. The SimpleTimingPort provides the queue_impl to the
QueuedSlavePort and it can be accessed via the reference in the base
class. The use of the member name queue is thus no longer overloaded.
|
|
This patch is a temporary fix until Andreas' four-phase patches
get reviewed and committed. Removing FastAlloc seems to have exposed
an issue which previously was reasonable rare in which packets are freed
before the sending cache is done with them. This change puts incoming packets
no a pendingDelete queue which are deleted at the start of the next call and
thus breaks the dependency between when the caller returns true and when the
packet is actually used by the sending cache.
Running valgrind on a multi-core linux boot and the memtester results in no
valgrind warnings.

This patch moves send/recvTiming and send/recvTimingSnoop from the
Port base class to the MasterPort and SlavePort, and also splits them
into separate member functions for requests and responses:
send/recvTimingReq, send/recvTimingResp, and send/recvTimingSnoopReq,
send/recvTimingSnoopResp. A master port sends requests and receives
responses, and also receives snoop requests and sends snoop
responses. A slave port has the reciprocal behaviour as it receives
requests and sends responses, and sends snoop requests and receives
snoop responses.
For all MemObjects that have only master ports or slave ports (but not
both), e.g. a CPU, or a PIO device, this patch merely adds more
clarity to what kind of access is taking place. For example, a CPU
port used to call sendTiming, and will now call
sendTimingReq. Similarly, a response previously came back through
recvTiming, which is now recvTimingResp. For the modules that have
both master and slave ports, e.g. the bus, the behaviour was
previously relying on branches based on pkt->isRequest(), and this is
now replaced with a direct call to the apprioriate member function
depending on the type of access. Please note that send/recvRetry is
still shared by all the timing accessors and remains in the Port base
class for now (to maintain the current bus functionality and avoid
changing the statistics of all regressions).
The packet queue is split into a MasterPort and SlavePort version to
facilitate the use of the new timing accessors. All uses of the
PacketQueue are updated accordingly.
With this patch, the type of packet (request or response) is now well
defined for each type of access, and asserts on pkt->isRequest() and
pkt->isResponse() are now moved to the appropriate send member
functions. It is also worth noting that sendTimingSnoopReq no longer
returns a boolean, as the semantics do not alow snoop requests to be
rejected or stalled. All these assumptions are now excplicitly part of
the port interface itself.
|

This patch introduces the notion of a master and slave port in the C++
code, thus bringing the previous classification from the Python
classes into the corresponding simulation objects and memory objects.
The patch enables us to classify behaviours into the two bins and add
assumptions and enfore compliance, also simplifying the two
interfaces. As a starting point, isSnooping is confined to a master
port, and getAddrRanges to slave ports. More of these specilisations
are to come in later patches.
The getPort function is not getMasterPort and getSlavePort, and
returns a port reference rather than a pointer as NULL would never be
a valid return value. The default implementation of these two
functions is placed in MemObject, and calls fatal.
The one drawback with this specific patch is that it requires some
code duplication, e.g. QueuedPort becomes QueuedMasterPort and
QueuedSlavePort, and BusPort becomes BusMasterPort and BusSlavePort
(avoiding multiple inheritance). With the later introduction of the
port interfaces, moving the functionality outside the port itself, a
lot of the duplicated code will disappear again.
|
|
This patch decouples the queueing and the port interactions to
simplify the introduction of the master and slave ports. By separating
the queueing functionality from the port itself, it becomes much
easier to distinguish between master and slave ports, and still retain
the queueing ability for both (without code duplication).
As part of the split into a PacketQueue and a port, there is now also
a hierarchy of two port classes, QueuedPort and SimpleTimingPort. The
QueuedPort is useful for ports that want to leave the packet
transmission of outgoing packets to the queue and is used by both
master and slave ports. The SimpleTimingPort inherits from the
QueuedPort and adds the implemention of recvTiming and recvFunctional
through recvAtomic.
The PioPort and MessagePort are cleaned up as part of the changes.

This patch splits the two cache ports into a master (memory-side) and
slave (cpu-side) subclass of port with slightly different
functionality. For example, it is only the CPU-side port that blocks
incoming requests, and only the memory-side port that schedules send
events outside of what the transmit list dictates.
This patch simplifies the two classes by relying further on
SimpleTimingPort and also generalises the latter to better accommodate
the changes (introducing trySendTiming and scheduleSend). The
memory-side cache port overrides sendDeferredPacket to be able to not
only send responses from the transmit list, but also send requests
based on the MSHRs.
A follow on patch further simplifies the SimpleTimingPort and the
cache ports.

This patch removes the inheritance of EventManager from the ports and
moves all responsibility for event queues to the owner. Eventually the
event manager should be the interface block, which could either be the
structural owner or a subblock like a LSQ in the O3 CPU for example.
|
|
At the same time, rename the trace flags to debug flags since they
have broader usage than simply tracing. This means that
--trace-flags is now --debug-flags and --trace-help is now --debug-help

|
This step makes it easy to replace the accessor functions
(which still access a global variable) with ones that access
per-thread curTick values.

|
|
For now, there is still a single global event queue, but this is
necessary for making the steps towards a parallelized m5.
|
|
It runs out that if a MemObject turns around and does a send in its
receive callback, and there are other sends already scheduled, then
it could observe a state where it's not at the head of the list but
the bus's sendEvent is not scheduled (because we're still in the
middle of processing the prior sendEvent).
