2016-09-13misc: Remove FullSystem check for networking componentsMichael LeBeane
Ethernet devices are currently only hooked up if running in FS mode. Much of the Ethernet networking code is generic and can be used to build non-Ethernet device models. Some of these device models do not require a complex driver stack and can be built to use an EmulatedDriver in SE mode. This patch enables etherent interfaces to properly connect regardless of whether the simulation is in FS or SE mode.
2015-11-26sim: Add support for forkingAndreas Sandberg
This changeset adds forking capabilities to the gem5 python scripts. A fork method is added to simulate.py. This method is responsible for forking the simulator itself, and will direct all output files to a new output directory based on the fork sequence number. The default name of the output directory is the same as the parent with the suffix ".fN" added where N is the fork sequence number. The fork method provides the option to specify if the system should be drained prior to forking, or not. By default the system is drained to ensure that there are no in-flight transactions. When forking the simulator, the fork method returns the PID of the child process, or returns 0 if running in the child. This is in line with the standard Python forking interface.

2015-11-27base: Add support for changing output directoriesAndreas Sandberg
This changeset adds support for changing the simulator output directory. This can be useful when the simulation goes through several stages (e.g., a warming phase, a simulation phase, and a verification phase) since it allows the output from each stage to be located in a different directory. Relocation is done by calling core.setOutputDir() from Python or simout.setOutputDirectory() from C++. This change affects several parts of the design of the gem5's output subsystem. First, files returned by an OutputDirectory instance (e.g., simout) are of the type OutputStream instead of a std::ostream. This allows us to do some more book keeping and control re-opening of files when the output directory is changed. Second, new subdirectories are OutputDirectory instances, which should be used to create files in that sub-directory.

2015-09-30base: remove Trace::enabled flagCurtis Dunham
The DTRACE() macro tests both Trace::enabled and the specific flag. This change uses the same administrative interface for enabling/disabling tracing, but masks the SimpleFlags settings directly. This eliminates a load for every DTRACE() test, e.g. DPRINTF.
2015-08-14ruby: Expose MessageBuffers as SimObjectsJoel Hestness
Expose MessageBuffers from SLICC controllers as SimObjects that can be manipulated in Python. This patch has numerous benefits: 1) First and foremost, it exposes MessageBuffers as SimObjects that can be manipulated in Python code. This allows parameters to be set and checked in Python code to avoid obfuscating parameters within protocol files. Further, now as SimObjects, MessageBuffer parameters are printed to config output files as a way to track parameters across simulations (e.g. buffer sizes) 2) Cleans up special-case code for responseFromMemory buffers, and aligns their instantiation and use with mandatoryQueue buffers. These two special buffers are the only MessageBuffers that are exposed to components outside of SLICC controllers, and they're both slave ends of these buffers. They should be exposed outside of SLICC in the same way, and this patch does it. 3) Distinguishes buffer-specific parameters from buffer-to-network parameters. Specifically, buffer size, randomization, ordering, recycle latency, and ports are all specific to a MessageBuffer, while the virtual network ID and type are intrinsics of how the buffer is connected to network ports. The former are specified in the Python object, while the latter are specified in the controller *.sm files. Unlike buffer-specific parameters, which may need to change depending on the simulated system structure, buffer-to-network parameters can be specified statically for most or all different simulated systems.
2015-07-07sim: Decouple draining from the SimObject hierarchyAndreas Sandberg
Draining is currently done by traversing the SimObject graph and calling drain()/drainResume() on the SimObjects. This is not ideal when non-SimObjects (e.g., ports) need draining since this means that SimObjects owning those objects need to be aware of this. This changeset moves the responsibility for finding objects that need draining from SimObjects and the Python-side of the simulator to the DrainManager. The DrainManager now maintains a set of all objects that need draining. To reduce the overhead in classes owning non-SimObjects that need draining, objects inheriting from Drainable now automatically register with the DrainManager. If such an object is destroyed, it is automatically unregistered. This means that drain() and drainResume() should never be called directly on a Drainable object. While implementing the new functionality, the DrainManager has now been made thread safe. In practice, this means that it takes a lock whenever it manipulates the set of Drainable objects since SimObjects in different threads may create Drainable objects dynamically. Similarly, the drain counter is now an atomic_uint, which ensures that it is manipulated correctly when objects signal that they are done draining. A nice side effect of these changes is that it makes the drain state changes stricter, which the simulation scripts can exploit to avoid redundant drains.
2015-07-07sim: Refactor the serialization base classAndreas Sandberg
Objects that are can be serialized are supposed to inherit from the Serializable class. This class is meant to provide a unified API for such objects. However, so far it has mainly been used by SimObjects due to some fundamental design limitations. This changeset redesigns to the serialization interface to make it more generic and hide the underlying checkpoint storage. Specifically: * Add a set of APIs to serialize into a subsection of the current object. Previously, objects that needed this functionality would use ad-hoc solutions using nameOut() and section name generation. In the new world, an object that implements the interface has the methods serializeSection() and unserializeSection() that serialize into a named /subsection/ of the current object. Calling serialize() serializes an object into the current section. * Move the name() method from Serializable to SimObject as it is no longer needed for serialization. The fully qualified section name is generated by the main serialization code on the fly as objects serialize sub-objects. * Add a scoped ScopedCheckpointSection helper class. Some objects need to serialize data structures, that are not deriving from Serializable, into subsections. Previously, this was done using nameOut() and manual section name generation. To simplify this, this changeset introduces a ScopedCheckpointSection() helper class. When this class is instantiated, it adds a new /subsection/ and subsequent serialization calls during the lifetime of this helper class happen inside this section (or a subsection in case of nested sections). * The serialize() call is now const which prevents accidental state manipulation during serialization. Objects that rely on modifying state can use the serializeOld() call instead. The default implementation simply calls serialize(). Note: The old-style calls need to be explicitly called using the serializeOld()/serializeSectionOld() style APIs. These are used by default when serializing SimObjects. * Both the input and output checkpoints now use their own named types. This hides underlying checkpoint implementation from objects that need checkpointing and makes it easier to change the underlying checkpoint storage code.
2014-12-23sim: fix reference counting of PythonEventCurtis Dunham
When gem5 is a slave to another simulator and the Python is only used to initialize the configuration (and not perform actual simulation), a "debug start" (--debug-start) event will get freed during or immediately after the initial Python frame's execution rather than remaining in the event queue. This tricky patch fixes the GC issue causing this.
2014-11-06ruby: interface with classic memory controllerNilay Vaish
This patch is the final in the series. The whole series and this patch in particular were written with the aim of interfacing ruby's directory controller with the memory controller in the classic memory system. This is being done since ruby's memory controller has not being kept up to date with the changes going on in DRAMs. Classic's memory controller is more up to date and supports multiple different types of DRAM. This also brings classic and ruby ever more close. The patch also changes ruby's memory controller to expose the same interface.
2014-10-16sim: EventQueue wakeup on events scheduled outside the event loopAndreas Hansson
This patch adds a 'wakeup' member function to EventQueue which should be called on an event queue whenever an event is scheduled on the event queue from outside code within the call tree of the gem5 event loop. This clearly isn't necessary for normal gem5 EventQueue operation but becomes the minimum necessary interface to allow hosting gem5's event loop onto other schedulers where there may be calls into gem5 from external code which schedules events onto an EventQueue between the current time and the time of the next scheduled event. The use case I have in mind is a SystemC hosting where the event loop is: while (more events) { wait(time_to_next_event or wakeup) setCurTick service events at this time } where the 'wait' needs to be woken up if time_to_next_event becomes shorter due to a scheduled event from SystemC arriving in a gem5 object. Requiring 'wakeup' to be called is a more efficient interface than requiring all gem5 event scheduling actions to affect the host scheduler. This interface could be located elsewhere, say on another global object, or by being passed by the host scheduler to objects which will schedule such events, but it seems cleanest to put it on EventQueue as it is actually a signal to the queue. EventQueue::wakeup is called for async_event events on event queue 0 as it's only important that *some* queue be triggered for such events.
2014-10-16base: Reimplement the DPRINTF mechanism in a Logger classAndrew Bardsley
This patch adds a Logger class encapsulating dprintf. This allows variants of DPRINTF logging to be constructed and substituted in place of the default behaviour. The Logger provides a logMessage(when, name, format, ...) member function like Trace::dprintf and a getOstream member function to use a raw ostream for logging. A class OstreamLogger is provided which generates the customary debugging output with Trace::OstreamLogger::logMessage being the old Trace::dprintf.
2014-10-16config: Add a --without-python option to build processAndrew Bardsley
Add the ability to build libgem5 without embedded Python or the ability to configure with Python. This is a prelude to a patch to allow config.ini files to be loaded into libgem5 using only C++ which would make embedding gem5 within other simulation systems easier. This adds a few registration interfaces to things which cross between Python and C++. Namely: stats dumping and SimObject resolving
2014-09-01ruby: message buffers: significant changesNilay Vaish
This patch is the final patch in a series of patches. The aim of the series is to make ruby more configurable than it was. More specifically, the connections between controllers are not at all possible (unless one is ready to make significant changes to the coherence protocol). Moreover the buffers themselves are magically connected to the network inside the slicc code. These connections are not part of the configuration file. This patch makes changes so that these connections will now be made in the python configuration files associated with the protocols. This requires each state machine to expose the message buffers it uses for input and output. So, the patch makes these buffers configurable members of the machines. The patch drops the slicc code that usd to connect these buffers to the network. Now these buffers are exposed to the python configuration system as Master and Slave ports. In the configuration files, any master port can be connected any slave port. The file pyobject.cc has been modified to take care of allocating the actual message buffer. This is inline with how other port connections work.
2013-11-25sim: simulate with multiple threads and event queuesSteve Reinhardt ext:(%2C%20Nilay%20Vaish%20%3Cnilay%40cs.wisc.edu%3E%2C%20Ali%20Saidi%20%3CAli.Saidi%40ARM.com%3E)
This patch adds support for simulating with multiple threads, each of which operates on an event queue. Each sim object specifies which eventq is would like to be on. A custom barrier implementation is being added using which eventqs synchronize. The patch was tested in two different configurations: 1. ruby_network_test.py: in this simulation L1 cache controllers receive requests from the cpu. The requests are replied to immediately without any communication taking place with any other level. 2. twosys-tsunami-simple-atomic: this configuration simulates a client-server system which are connected by an ethernet link. We still lack the ability to communicate using message buffers or ports. But other things like simulation start and end, synchronizing after every quantum are working. Committed by: Nilay Vaish
2013-09-04arch: Resurrect the NOISA build target and rename it NULLAndreas Hansson
This patch makes it possible to once again build gem5 without any ISA. The main purpose is to enable work around the interconnect and memory system without having to build any CPU models or device models. The regress script is updated to include the NULL ISA target. Currently no regressions make use of it, but all the testers could (and perhaps should) transition to it. --HG-- rename : build_opts/NOISA => build_opts/NULL rename : src/arch/noisa/SConsopts => src/arch/null/SConsopts rename : src/arch/noisa/cpu_dummy.hh => src/arch/null/cpu_dummy.hh rename : src/cpu/intr_control.cc => src/cpu/intr_control_noisa.cc
2013-02-19scons: Add warning for missing declarationsAndreas Hansson
This patch enables warnings for missing declarations. To avoid issues with SWIG-generated code, the warning is only applied to non-SWIG code.
2013-01-07stats: Fix swig wrapping for Tick in statsSascha Bischoff
Tick was not correctly wrapped for the stats system, and therefore it was not possible to configure the stats dumping from the python scripts without defining Ticks as long long. This patch fixes the wrapping of Tick by copying the typemap of uint64_t to Tick.
2012-11-16sim: have a curTick per eventqNilay Vaish
This patch adds a _curTick variable to an eventq. This variable is updated whenever an event is serviced in function serviceOne(), or all events upto a particular time are processed in function serviceEvents(). This change helps when there are eventqs that do not make use of curTick for scheduling events.
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.
2012-10-15Port: Add protocol-agnostic ports in the port hierarchyAndreas Hansson
This patch adds an additional level of ports in the inheritance hierarchy, separating out the protocol-specific and protocl-agnostic parts. All the functionality related to the binding of ports is now confined to use BaseMaster/BaseSlavePorts, and all the protocol-specific parts stay in the Master/SlavePort. In the future it will be possible to add other protocol-specific implementations. The functions used in the binding of ports, i.e. getMaster/SlavePort now use the base classes, and the index parameter is updated to use the PortID typedef with the symbolic InvalidPortID as the default.
2012-09-25Statistics: Add a function to configure periodic stats dumpingSascha Bischoff
This patch adds a function, periodicStatDump(long long period), which will dump and reset the statistics every period. This function is designed to be called from the python configuration scripts. This allows the periodic stats dumping to be configured more easilly at run time. The period is currently specified as a long long as there are issues passing Tick into the C++ from the python as they have conflicting definitions. If the period is less than curTick, the first occurance occurs at curTick. If the period is set to 0, then the event is descheduled and the stats are not periodically dumped. Due to issues when resumung from a checkpoint, the StatDump event must be moved forward such that it occues AFTER the current tick. As the function is called from the python, the event is scheduled before the system resumes from the checkpoint. Therefore, the event is moved using the updateEvents() function. This is called from simulate.py once the system has resumed from the checkpoint. NOTE: It should be noted that this is a fairly temporary patch which re-adds the capability to extract temporal information from the communication monitors. It should not be used at the same time as anything that relies on dumping the statistics based on in simulation events i.e. a context switch.
2012-09-19AddrRange: Transition from Range<T> to AddrRangeAndreas Hansson
This patch takes the final plunge and transitions from the templated Range class to the more specific AddrRange. In doing so it changes the obvious Range<Addr> to AddrRange, and also bumps the range_map to be AddrRangeMap. In addition to the obvious changes, including the removal of redundant includes, this patch also does some house keeping in preparing for the introduction of address interleaving support in the ranges. The Range class is also stripped of all the functionality that is never used. --HG-- rename : src/base/range.hh => src/base/addr_range.hh rename : src/base/range_map.hh => src/base/addr_range_map.hh
2012-06-05sim: Remove FastAllocAli Saidi
While FastAlloc provides a small performance increase (~1.5%) over regular malloc it isn't thread safe. After removing FastAlloc and using tcmalloc I've seen a performance increase of 12% over libc malloc when running twolf for ARM.
2012-06-05stats: Provide a mechanism to get a callback when stats are dumped.Mitchell Hayenga
This mechanism is useful for dumping output that is correlated with stats dumping, but isn't tracked by the gem5 statistics.
2012-05-10stats: track if the stats have been enabled and prevent requesting master idAli Saidi
Track the point in the initialization where statistics have been registered. After this point registering new masterIds can no longer work as some SimObjects may have sized stats vectors based on the previous value. If someone tries to register a masterId after this point the simulator executes fatal().
2012-03-30MEM: Introduce the master/slave port sub-classes in C++William Wang
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.

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
