Added an optimization that merges multiple pending GETS requests into a
single request to the owner node.
|
|
This patch allows messages to be stalled in their input buffers and wait
until a corresponding address changes state. In order to make this work,
all in_ports must be ranked in order of dependence and those in_ports that
may unblock an address, must wake up the stalled messages. Alot of this
complexity is handled in slicc and the specification files simply
annotate the in_ports.

Patch allows each individual message buffer to have different recycle latencies
and allows the overall recycle latency to be specified at the cmd line. The
patch also adds profiling info to make sure no one processor's requests are
recycled too much.

This patch tracks the number of cycles a transaction is delayed at different
points of the request-forward-response loop.

This fix includes the off-by-one bit selection bug for numa mapping.
|
|
The main purpose for clearing stats in the unserialize process is so
that the profiler can correctly set its start time to the unserialized
value of curTick.

This patch allows one to disable migratory sharing for those cache blocks that
are accessed by atomic requests. While the implementations are different
between the token and hammer protocols, the motivation is the same. For
Alpha, LLSC semantics expect that normal loads do not unlock cache blocks that
have been locked by LL accesses. Therefore, locked blocks should not transfer
write permissions when responding to these load requests. Instead, only they
only transfer read permissions so that the subsequent SC access can possibly
succeed.

Fixed RubyPort schedSendTiming calls to match ruby frequency.

This patch fixes several bugs related to previous inconsistent assumptions on
how many tokens the Owner had. Mike Marty should have fixes these bugs years
ago. :)

This patch fixes various protocol bugs regarding races between dma requests
and persistent requests.

Added the request series and invalidate deterministic tests as new cpu models
and removed the no longer needed ruby tests

Previously, the MOESI_hammer protocol calculated the same latency for L1 and
L2 hits. This was because the protocol was written using the old ruby
assumption that L1 hits used the sequencer fast path. Since ruby no longer
uses the fast-path, the protocol delays L2 hits by placing them on the
trigger queue.
|
|
The previous slower ruby latencies created a mismatch between the faster M5
cpu models and the much slower ruby memory system. Specifically smp
interrupts were much slower and infrequent, as well as cpus moving in and out
of spin locks. The result was many cpus were idle for large periods of time.
These changes fix the latency mismatch.
|
|
Added support so that ruby can determine the outcome of store conditional
operations and reflect that outcome to M5 physical memory and cpus.

Fixed L2 cache miss profiling for the MOESI_CMP_token protocol

This patch adds back to ruby the capability to understand the response time
for messages that hit in different levels of the cache heirarchy.
Specifically add support for the MI_example, MOESI_hammer, and MOESI_CMP_token
protocols.

This patch adds DMA testing to the Memtester and is inherits many changes from
Polina's old tester_dma_extension patch. Since Ruby does not work in atomic
mode, the atomic mode options are removed.

Created a separate ProfileDumper that consolidates the generated stats for
each controller of a certain type.

Clean up some minor things left over from the default responder
change in rev 9af6fb59752f. Mostly renaming the 'responder_set'
param to 'use_default_range' to actually reflect what it does...
old name wasn't that descriptive in the first place, but now
it really doesn't make sense at all.
Also got rid of the bogus obsolete assignment to 'bus.responder'
which used to be a parameter but now is interpreted as an
implicit child assignment, and which was giving me problems in
the config restructuring to come. (A good argument for not
allowing implicit child assignments, IMO, but that's water under
the bridge, I'm afraid.)
Also moved the Bus constructor to the .cc file since that's
where it should have been all along.

This bug was introduced with the recent rework of SC
failure handling in cset f97b62be544f.

Thanks to Joe Gross for pointing this out (again?).
Apologies to anyone who pointed it out earlier and
we didn't listen.

Requires new "SCUpgradeReq" message that marks upgrades
for store conditionals, so downstream caches can fail
these when they run into invalidations.

Only set the dirty bit when we actually write to a block
(not if we thought we might but didn't, as in a failed
SC or CAS). This requires makeing sure the dirty bit
stays set when we get an exclusive (writable) copy
in a cache-to-cache transfer from another owner, which
n turn requires copying the mem-inhibit flag from
timing-mode requests to their associated responses.

One big difference is that PrioHeap puts the smallest element at the
top of the heap, whereas stl puts the largest element on top, so I
changed all comparisons so they did the right thing.
Some usage of PrioHeap was simply changed to a std::vector, using sort
at the right time, other usage had me just use the various heap functions
in the stl.

add a couple of helper functions to base for deleteing all pointers in
a container and outputting containers to a stream

This was somewhat tricky because the RefCnt API was somewhat odd. The
biggest confusion was that the the RefCnt object's constructor that
took a TYPE& cloned the object. I created an explicit virtual clone()
function for things that took advantage of this version of the
constructor. I was conservative and used clone() when I was in doubt
of whether or not it was necessary. I still think that there are
probably too many instances of clone(), but hopefully not too many.
I converted several instances of const MsgPtr & to a simple MsgPtr.
If the function wants to avoid the overhead of creating another
reference, then it should just use a regular pointer instead of a ref
counting ptr.
There were a couple of instances where refcounted objects were created
on the stack. This seems pretty dangerous since if you ever
accidentally make a reference to that object with a ref counting
pointer, bad things are bound to happen.

and force it to True for builds that imply Ruby protocols
(else unexpected things happen when testing these builds
with RUBY=False).

Further cleanup should probably be done to make this class be non-Ruby
specific and put it in src/base.
There are probably several cases where this class is used, std::bitset
could be used instead.

In addition to obvious changes, this required a slight change to the slicc
grammar to allow types with :: in them. Otherwise slicc barfs on std::string
which we need for the headers that slicc generates.
