2019-05-08mem-cache: Handle data expansionDaniel R. Carvalho
When a block in compressed form is overwriten, it may change its size. If the new compressed size is bigger, and the total size becomes bigger than the block size, one or more blocks will have to be evicted. This is called data expansion, or fat writes. This change assumes that a first level cache cannot have a compressor, since otherwise data expansion should have been handled for atomic operations and writes. As such, data expansions should only be seen on writebacks. As writebacks are forwarded to the next level when failed, there should be no data expansions when servicing misses either. This patch adds the functionality to handle data expansions by evicting the co-allocated blocks to make room for an expanded block.

2019-05-08mem-cache: Add co-allocation function to compressed tagsDaniel R. Carvalho
Implement a co-allocation function in compressed tags, so that compressed blocks can be co-allocated in a superblock. Co-allocation is possible when compression ratio (CR) blocks that share a superblock tag can be compressed to up to (100/CR)% of their size.

2019-05-08mem-cache: Add compression statsDaniel R. Carvalho
Add compression statistics to the compressors. It tracks the number of blocks that can fit into a certain power of two size, and the number of decompressions. For example, if a block is compressed to 100 bits, it will belong to the 128-bits compression size. Although it could also fit bigger sizes, they are not taken into account for the stats (i.e., the 100-bit compression will fit only the 128-bits size, not 256 or higher). We save stats for compressions that fail (i.e., compressed size is bigger than original cache line size).

2019-05-03mem-cache: Mark block as dirty after a SWPrefetchEXRespNikos Nikoleris
This is a workaround for a bug introduced from the change: 59e3585a8 arch-arm: We add PRFM PST instruction for arm which can cause deadlocks in the memory system. The design of the classic memory system in gem5 makes the folloing two assumptions: * A cache that fetches a block with an intention to modify it, becomes the point of ordering and therefore commits to respond to any snoop requests [1]. * A cache that fetches an exclusive copy of the block, does so with the intention to modify it [2]. Immediately after it receives the block, it will write to it and mark it as dirty. As the point of ordering, it responds to any outstanding snoops. The current implementation of prefetch exclusive request breaks the second assumption. A cache can fetch an exclusive block without an immediate intention to modify it. If the block is not modified, it will not be marked as dirty. However, the cache has committed to respond to outstanding snoops, and if the block is clean it won't. This can result in deadlocks where a snoop gets stuck waiting for responses. One solution (implemented by this patch) is to unconditionally mark the block dirty when filling due to a prefetch exclusive request. This makes the PrefetchExReq behave like a WriteReq. However, as it may mark as dirty a clean block, it creates the requirement for an uncessary WritebackDirty in the future. In practice, this shouldn't be a big problem unless the application is unnecessarily using prefetch exclusive instructions. Other solutions, would require deeper changes to the design of the memory system to handle this properly. [1]: When a cache commits to respond, it "informs" the xbar/PoC (point of coherence) and the other caches of its intention to respond. As a result the request will not be send to the main memory. [2]: In fact the assumption is that in the needsWritable MSHR there is at least one WriteReq before any snoops from other caches.

2019-03-19mem: Move bind() and unbind() into the Port class.Gabe Black
These are now pure virtual methods which more specialized port subclasses will need to implement. The SlavePort class implements them by ignoring them and then providing parallel functions for the MasterPort to call. The MasterPort's methods do basically what they did before, except now bind() uses dynamic cast to check if its peer is of the appropriate type and also to convert it into that type before connecting to it.

If BasicLink.hh is modified, the style checker forces a reordering of the includes, which results in build errors because it ends up including Topology.hh before including its xxxParams.hh files, which include forward declarations of the BasicLink family of classes, and so Topology.hh throws errors that BasicLink etc. are not declared.
