2013-10-31config: Fix handling of parents for simobject vectorsGeoffrey Blake
SimObjectVector objects did not provide the same interface to the _parent attribute through get_parent() like a normal SimObject. It also handled assigning a _parent incorrectly if objects in a SimObjectVector were changed post-creation, leading to errors later when the simulator tried to execute. This patch fixes these two omissions.
2013-10-17config: Fix for port references generated multiple timesGeoffrey Blake
SimObjects are expected to only generate one port reference per port belonging to them. There is a subtle bug with using "not" here as a VectorPort is seen as not having a reference if it is either None or empty as per Python docs sec 9.9 for Standard operators. Intended behavior is to only check if we have not created the reference.
2013-02-15base: Add warn() and inform() to m5.utils for use from pythonSascha Bischoff
This patch adds two fuctions to m5.util, warn and inform, which mirror those found in the C++ side of gem5. These are added in addition to the already existing m5.util.panic and m5.util.fatal which already mirror the C++ functionality. This ensures that warning and information messages generated by python are in the same format as those generated by C++. Occurrences of print "Warning: %s..." % name have been replaced with warn("%s...", name)
2013-01-07config: Traverse lists when visiting children in all proxyAndreas Hansson
This patch makes the all proxy traverse any potential list that is encountered in the object hierarchy instead of only looking at children that are SimObjects. An example of where this is useful is when creating a multi-channel memory system as a list of controllers, whilst ensuring that the memories are still visible in the system.
2012-11-02sim: Add SWIG interface for SerializableAndreas Sandberg
This changeset adds a SWIG interface for the Serializable class, which fixes a warning when compiling the SWIG interface for the event queue. Currently, the only method exported is the name() method.
2012-11-02sim: Move the draining interface into a separate base classAndreas Sandberg
This patch moves the draining interface from SimObject to a separate class that can be used by any object needing draining. However, objects not visible to the Python code (i.e., objects not deriving from SimObject) still depend on their parents informing them when to drain. This patch also gets rid of the CountedDrainEvent (which isn't really an event) and replaces it with a DrainManager.
2012-11-02sim: Include object header files in SWIG interfacesAndreas Sandberg
When casting objects in the generated SWIG interfaces, SWIG uses classical C-style casts ( (Foo *)bar; ). In some cases, this can degenerate into the equivalent of a reinterpret_cast (mainly if only a forward declaration of the type is available). This usually works for most compilers, but it is known to break if multiple inheritance is used anywhere in the object hierarchy. This patch introduces the cxx_header attribute to Python SimObject definitions, which should be used to specify a header to include in the SWIG interface. The header should include the declaration of the wrapped object. We currently don't enforce header the use of the header attribute, but a warning will be generated for objects that do not use it.
2012-09-25sim: Move CPU-specific methods from SimObject to the BaseCPU classAndreas Sandberg
2012-09-25sim: Remove SimObject::setMemoryModeAndreas Sandberg
Remove SimObject::setMemoryMode from the main SimObject class since it is only valid for the System class. In addition to removing the method from the C++ sources, this patch also removes getMemoryMode and changeTiming from SimObject.py and updates the simulation code to call the (get|set)MemoryMode method on the System object instead.
2012-09-07sim: Remove the unused SimObject::regFormulas methodAndreas Sandberg
Simulation objects normally register derived statistics, presumably what regFormulas originally was meant for, in regStats(). This patch removes regRegformulas since there is no need to have a separate method call to register formulas.
2012-07-10ruby: changes how Topologies are createdBrad Beckmann
Instead of just passing a list of controllers to the makeTopology function in src/mem/ruby/network/topologies/<Topo>.py we pass in a function pointer which knows how to make the topology, possibly with some extra state set in the configs/ruby/<protocol>.py file. Thus, we can move all of the files from network/topologies to configs/topologies. A new class BaseTopology is added which all topologies in configs/topologies must inheirit from and follow its API. --HG-- rename : src/mem/ruby/network/topologies/Crossbar.py => configs/topologies/Crossbar.py rename : src/mem/ruby/network/topologies/Mesh.py => configs/topologies/Mesh.py rename : src/mem/ruby/network/topologies/MeshDirCorners.py => configs/topologies/MeshDirCorners.py rename : src/mem/ruby/network/topologies/Pt2Pt.py => configs/topologies/Pt2Pt.py rename : src/mem/ruby/network/topologies/Torus.py => configs/topologies/Torus.py
2012-05-23Config: Use the attribute naming and include ports in JSONAndreas Hansson
This patch changes the organisation of the JSON output slightly to make it easier to traverse and use the files. Most importantly, the hierarchical dictionaries now use keys that correspond to the attribute names also in the case of VectorParams (used to be e.f. "cpu0 cpu1"). It also adds the name and the path to each SimObject directory entry. Before this patch, to get cpu0, you would have to query dict['system']['cpu0 cpu1'][0] and this could be a dict with 'cpu0' : { cpu parameters }. Now you use dict['system']['cpu'][0] and get { cpu parameters } (where one is "name" : "cpu0"). Additionally this patch includes more verbose information about the ports, specifying their role, and using a JSON array rather than a concatenated string for the peer.
2012-05-10DOT: improved dot-based system visualizationUri Wiener
Revised system visualization to reflect structure and memory hierarchy. Improved visualization: less congested and cluttered; more colorful. Nodes reflect components; directed edges reflect dirctional relation, from a master port to a slave port. Requires pydot.
2012-05-10DOT: fixed broken code for visualizing configuration using dotUri Wiener
Fixed broken code which visualizes the system configuration by generating a tree from each component's children, starting from root. Requires DOT (hence pydot).
2012-04-05Python: Make the All proxy traverse SimObject children as wellAndreas Hansson
This patch changes the behaviour of the All proxy parameter to not only consider the direct children, but also do a pre-order depth-first traversal of the object tree and append all results from the children. This is used in a later patch to find all the memories in the system, independent of where they are located in the hierarchy.
2012-03-21Python: Fix a conditional expression that requires Python 2.5Andreas Hansson
This patch changes a conditional expression to a conventional if/else block, which does not require Python >= 2.5.
2012-03-19scripts: Fix to ensure that port connection count is always setAndreas Hansson
This patch ensures that the port connection count is set to zero in those cases when the port is not connected.
2012-02-29SWIG: Ensure ptrdiff_t is a known type in gcc >= 4.6.1Andreas Hansson
This patch fixes a compilation error that occurs with gcc >= 4.6.1, caused by swig not including cstddef and not using the std:: namespace prefix for ptrdiff_t. There is an old patch, http://reviews.m5sim.org/r/913/ that no longer applies cleanly and this might be re-iterating the same issue. We work around the problem by always enforcing the inclusion of cstddef in all swig interface declarations, and also by explicitly using std::ptrdiff_t.
2012-02-20SimObject: make get_config_as_dict() tolerate undefined paramsSteve Reinhardt
Without this patch, undefined params cause a cryptic KeyError in multidict inside get_config_as_dict(). This patch lets undefined params through get_config_as_dict() so they can once again generate meaningful error messages later on in the configuration process.
2012-02-13MEM: Pass the ports from Python to C++ using the Swig paramsAndreas Hansson
This patch adds basic information about the ports in the parameter classes to be passed from the Python world to the corresponding C++ object. Currently, the only information passed is the number of connected peers, which for a Port is either 0 or 1, and for a VectorPort reflects the size of the VectorPort. The default port of the bus had to be renamed to avoid using the name "default" as a field in the parameter class. It is possible to extend the Swig'ed information further and add e.g. a pair with a description and size.
2012-02-13MEM: Introduce the master/slave port roles in the Python classesAndreas Hansson
This patch classifies all ports in Python as either Master or Slave and enforces a binding of master to slave. Conceptually, a master (such as a CPU or DMA port) issues requests, and receives responses, and conversely, a slave (such as a memory or a PIO device) receives requests and sends back responses. Currently there is no differentiation between coherent and non-coherent masters and slaves. The classification as master/slave also involves splitting the dual role port of the bus into a master and slave port and updating all the system assembly scripts to use the appropriate port. Similarly, the interrupt devices have to have their int_port split into a master and slave port. The intdev and its children have minimal changes to facilitate the extra port. Note that this patch does not enforce any port typing in the C++ world, it merely ensures that the Python objects have a notion of the port roles and are connected in an appropriate manner. This check is carried when two ports are connected, e.g. bus.master = memory.port. The following patches will make use of the classifications and specialise the C++ ports into masters and slaves.
2012-01-31clang: Enable compiling gem5 using clang 2.9 and 3.0Koan-Sin Tan
This patch adds the necessary flags to the SConstruct and SConscript files for compiling using clang 2.9 and later (on Ubuntu et al and OSX XCode 4.2), and also cleans up a bunch of compiler warnings found by clang. Most of the warnings are related to hidden virtual functions, comparisons with unsigneds >= 0, and if-statements with empty bodies. A number of mismatches between struct and class are also fixed. clang 2.8 is not working as it has problems with class names that occur in multiple namespaces (e.g. Statistics in kernel_stats.hh). clang has a bug (http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=7247) which causes confusion between the container std::set and the function Packet::set, and this is currently addressed by not including the entire namespace std, but rather selecting e.g. "using std::vector" in the appropriate places.
2012-01-17MEM: Removing the default port peer from Python portsAndreas Hansson
In preparation for the introduction of Master and Slave ports, this patch removes the default port parameter in the Python port and thus forces the argument list of the Port to contain only the description. The drawback at this point is that the config port and dma port of PCI and DMA devices have to be connected explicitly. This is key for future diversification as the pio and config port are slaves, but the dma port is a master.

2011-10-20SimObject: add export_method* hooks to export C++ methods to PythonSteve Reinhardt
Replace the (broken as of previous changeset) swig_objdecl() method that allowed/forced you to substitute a whole new C++ struct definition for SWIG to wrap with a set of export_method* hooks that let you just declare a set of C++ methods (or other declarations) that get inserted in the auto-generated struct. Restore the System get/setMemoryMode methods, and use this mechanism to specialize SimObject as well, eliminating teh need for sim_object.i. Needed bits of sim_object.i are moved to the new pyobject.i. Also sucked a little SimObject specialization into cxx_param_decl() allowing us to get rid of src/sim/sim_object_params.hh. Now the generation and wrapping of the base SimObject param struct is more in line with how derived objects are handled. --HG-- rename : src/python/swig/sim_object.i => src/python/swig/pyobject.i
2011-10-20scons/swig: refactor some of the scons/SWIG codeSteve Reinhardt
- Move the random bits of SWIG code generation out of src/SConscript file and into methods on the objects being wrapped. - Cleaned up some variable naming and added some comments to make the process a little clearer. - Did a little generated file/module renaming: - vptype_Foo now Foo_vector - init_Foo is now Foo_init This makes it easier to see all the Foo-related files in a sorted directory listing. - Made cxx_predecls and swig_predecls normal SimObject classmethods. - Got rid of swig_objdecls hook, even though this breaks the System objects get/setMemoryMode method exports. Will be fixing this in a future changeset.
2011-07-10Config: Add support for a Self.all proxy objectAli Saidi
2011-06-01SimObject: allow modules in subclass definitionsSteve Reinhardt
In particular, this avoids crashing when you do an import (like "import pdb") inside a SimObject subclass definition.
2011-05-23config: reinstate implicit parenting on parameter assignmentSteve Reinhardt
Last summer's big rewrite of the initialization code (in particular cset 6efc3672733b) got rid of the implicit parenting that used to occur when an unparented SimObject was assigned as a parameter value to another SimObject. The idea was that the new adoptOrphanParams() step would catch these anyway so it was unnecessary. Unfortunately it turns out that adoptOrphanParams() has some inherent instability in that the parent that does the adoption depends on the config tree traversal order. Even making this order deterministic (e.g., by traversing children in alphabetical order) can introduce unwanted and unexpected hierarchy changes between similar configs (e.g., when adding a switch_cpu in place of a cpu), causing problems when trying to restore checkpoints across similar configs. The hierarchy created by implicit parenting is more stable and more controllable, so this patch turns that behavior back on. This patch also cleans up some long-standing holes regarding parenting of SimObjects that are created in class definitions (either in the body of the class, or as default parameters). To avoid breaking some existing config files, this necessitated changing the error on reparenting children to a warning. This change fixes another bug where attempting to print the prior error message would fail on reparenting SimObjectVectors because they lack a _parent attribute. Some further issues with SimObjectVectors were cleaned up by getting rid of the get_parent() call (which could cause errors with some SimObjectVectors where there was no single parent to return) with has_parent() (since all the uses of get_parent() were just boolean tests anyway). Finally, since the adoptOrphanParam() step turned out to be so problematic, we now issue a warning when it actually has to do an adoption. Future cleanup of config files will get rid of current warnings.
2011-01-03Make commenting on close namespace brackets consistent.Steve Reinhardt
Ran all the source files through 'perl -pi' with this script: s|\s*(};?\s*)?/\*\s*(end\s*)?namespace\s*(\S+)\s*\*/(\s*})?|} // namespace $3|; s|\s*};?\s*//\s*(end\s*)?namespace\s*(\S+)\s*|} // namespace $2\n|; s|\s*};?\s*//\s*(\S+)\s*namespace\s*|} // namespace $1\n|; Also did a little manual editing on some of the arch/*/isa_traits.hh files and src/SConscript.

2010-09-12swig: make all generated files go into the m5.internal packageNathan Binkert
This is necessary because versions of swig older than 1.3.39 fail to do the right thing and try to do relative imports for everything (even with the package= option to %module). Instead of putting params in the m5.internal.params package, put params in the m5.internal package and make all param modules start with param_. Same thing for m5.internal.enums. Also, stop importing all generated params into m5.objects. They are not necessary and now with everything using relative imports we wound up with pollution of the namespace (where builtin-range got overridden). --HG-- rename : src/python/m5/internal/enums/__init__.py => src/python/m5/internal/enums.py rename : src/python/m5/internal/params/__init__.py => src/python/m5/internal/params.py
2010-09-09scons: Stop building the big monolithic swigged params moduleNathan Binkert

2010-08-17misc: add some AMD copyright noticesSteve Reinhardt
Meant to add these with the previous batch of csets.
2010-08-17sim: clean up child handlingSteve Reinhardt
The old code for handling SimObject children was kind of messy, with children stored both in _values and _children, and inconsistent and potentially buggy handling of SimObject vectors. Now children are always stored in _children, and SimObject vectors are consistently handled using the SimObjectVector class. Also, by deferring the parenting of SimObject-valued parameters until the end (instead of doing it at assignment), we eliminate the hole where one could assign a vector of SimObjects to a parameter then append to that vector, with the appended objects never getting parented properly. This patch induces small stats changes in tests with data races due to changes in the object creation & initialization order. The new code does object vectors in order and so should be more stable.
2010-08-17sim: move iterating over SimObjects into Python.Steve Reinhardt
2010-08-17sim: fail on implicit creation of orphans via portsSteve Reinhardt
Orphan SimObjects (not in the config hierarchy) could get created implicitly if they have a port connection to a SimObject that is in the hierarchy. This means that there are objects on the C++ SimObject list (created via the C++ SimObject constructor call) that are unknown to Python and will get skipped if we walk the hierarchy from the Python side (as we are about to do). This patch detects this situation and prints an error message. Also fix the rubytester config script which happened to rely on this behavior.
2010-08-17sim: make Python Root object a singletonSteve Reinhardt
Enforce that the Python Root SimObject is instantiated only once. The C++ Root object already panics if more than one is created. This change avoids the need to track what the root object is, since it's available from Root.getInstance() (if it exists). It's now redundant to have the user pass the root object to functions like instantiate(), checkpoint(), and restoreCheckpoint(), so that arg is gone. Users who use configs/common/Simulate.py should not notice.
2010-07-17SimObject: transparently forward Python attribute refs to C++.Steve Reinhardt
This tidbit was pulled from a larger patch for Tim's sake, so the comment reflects functions that haven't been exported yet. I hope to commit them soon so it didn't seem worth cleaning up.
2010-07-05sim: allow SimObject subclasses to define classmethodsSteve Reinhardt
(without requiring a leading underscore) Also a little cleanup on type names in SimObject.py.
