This patch converts CacheRequestType to RubyRequestType so that both the
protocol dependent and independent code makes use of the same request type.

This patch converts AccessModeType to RubyAccessMode so that both the
protocol dependent and independent code uses the same access mode.

This patch fixes the problem where Ruby would fail to call sendRetry on ports
after it nacked the port. This patch is particularly helpful for bursty dma
requests which often include several packets.

In SLICC, in order to define a type a data type for which it should not
generate any code, the keyword external_type is used. For those data types for
which code should be generated, the keyword structure is used. This patch
eliminates the use of keyword external_type for defining structures. structure
key word can now have an optional attribute external, which would be used for
figuring out whether or not to generate the code for this structure. Also, now
structures can have functions as well data members in them.

In order to add stall and wait facility for protocols, a keyword
wake_up_dependents was introduced. This patch removes the keyword,
instead this functionality is now implemented as function call.

non-cache.
This change fixes the problem for all the cases we actively use. If you want to try
more creative I/O device attachments (E.g. sharing an L2), this won't work. You
would need another level of caching between the I/O device and the cache
(which you actually need anyway with our current code to make sure writes
propagate). This is required so that you can mark the cache in between as
top level and it won't try to send ownership of a block to the I/O device.
Asserts have been added that should catch any issues.

None of the code in the ruby tester directory is compiled or referred to
outside of that directory. This change eliminates it. If it's needed in the
future, it can be revived from the history. In the mean time, this removes
clutter and the only use of the GEMS_ROOT scons variable.

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.

At a couple of places in PerfectSwitch.cc and MessageBuffer.cc, DPRINTF()
has not been provided with correct number of arguments. The patch fixes these
bugs.

This code is unused and should never have been committed

This patch removes the store buffer from Ruby. It is not in use currently.
Since libruby is being and store buffer makes calls to libruby, it is not
possible to maintain it until substantial changes are made.
|

This patch removes libruby_internal.hh, libruby.hh and libruby.cc. It moves
the contents to libruby.hh to RubyRequest.hh and RubyRequest.cc files.

This patch changes Address.hh so that it is not dependent on RubySystem.
This dependence seems unecessary. All those functions that depend on
RubySystem have been moved to Address.cc file.

|
This patch changes DataBlock.hh so that it is not dependent on RubySystem.
This dependence seems unecessary. All those functions that depende on
RubySystem have been moved to DataBlock.cc file.

This patch integrates permissions with cache and memory states, and then
automates the setting of permissions within the generated code. No longer
does one need to manually set the permissions within the setState funciton.
This patch will faciliate easier functional access support by always correctly
setting permissions for both cache and memory states.

"executing" isnt a very descriptive debug message and in going through the
output you get multiple messages that say "executing" but nothing to help
you parse through the code/execution.
So instead, at least print out the name of the action that is taking
place in these functions.
|
|
Overall, continue to progress Ruby debug messages to more of the normal M5
debug message style
- add a name() to the Ruby Throttle & PerfectSwitch objects so that the debug output
isn't littered w/"global:" everywhere.
- clean up messages that print over multiple lines when possible
- clean up duplicate prints in the message buffer

In certain actions of the L1 cache controller, while creating an outgoing
message, the machine type was not being set. This results in a
segmentation fault when trace is collected. Joseph Pusudesris provided
his patch for fixing this issue.
|

The L1 cache controller file contains references to foo and goo queues, which
are not in use at all. These have been removed.

Currently the wakeup function for the PerfectSwitch contains three loops -
loop on number of virtual networks
loop on number of incoming links
loop till all messages for this (link, network) have been routed
With an 8 processor mesh network and Hammer protocol, about 11-12% of the
was observed to have been spent in this function, which is the highest
amongst all the functions. It was found that the innermost loop is executed
about 45 times per invocation of the wakeup function, when each invocation
of the wakeup function processes just about one message.
The patch tries to do away with the redundant executions of the innermost
loop. Counters have been added for each virtual network that record the
number of messages that need to be routed for that virtual network. The
inner loops are only executed when the number of messages for that particular
virtual network > 0. This does away with almost 80% of the executions of the
innermost loop. The function now consumes about 5-6% of the total execution
time.

The patch changes the order in which L1 dcache and icache are looked up when
a request comes in. Earlier, if a request came in for instruction fetch, the
dcache was looked up before the icache, to correctly handle self-modifying
code. But, in the common case, dcache is going to report a miss and the
subsequent icache lookup is going to report a hit. Given the invariant -
caches under the same controller keep track of disjoint sets of cache blocks,
we can move the icache lookup before the dcache lookup. In case of a hit in
the icache, using our invariant, we know that the dcache would have reported
a miss. In case of a miss in the icache, we know that icache would have
missed even if the dcache was looked up before looking up the icache.
Effectively, we are doing the same thing as before, though in the common case,
we expect reduction in the number of lookups. This was empirically confirmed
for MOESI hammer. The ratio lookups to access requests is now about 1.1 to 1.

The TBE pointer in the MESI CMP implementation was not being set to NULL
when the TBE is deallocated. This resulted in segmentation fault on testing
the protocol when the ProtocolTrace was switched on.

The code for Orion 2.0 makes use of printf() at several places where there as
an error in configuration of the model. These have been replaced with fatal().

missing header file caused RUBY_FS to not compile

By stalling and waiting the mandatory queue instead of recycling it, one can
ensure that no incoming messages are starved when the mandatory queue puts
signficant of pressure on the L1 cache controller (i.e. the ruby memtester).
