2018-01-29arm: DT autogeneration - Device Tree generation methodsGlenn Bergmans
This patch adds an extra layer to the pyfdt library such that usage gets easier and device tree nodes can be specified in less code, without limiting original usage. Note to not import both the pyfdt and fdthelper in the same namespace (but generally fdthelper is all you need, because it supplies the same classes even when they are not extended in any way) Also, this patch lays out the primary functionality for generating a device tree, where every SimObject gets an empty generateDeviceTree method and ArmSystems loop over their children in an effort to merge all the nodes. Devices are implemented in other patches.

The file is in the m5_root/src/python/m5/ext directory, as opposed to the m5_root/ext, because this library is part of the m5 object space and linking to the m5_root/ext directory from the SConscript file in src/python can not be done reliably.

2017-11-27scons: Switch from "guards" to "tags" on source files.Gabe Black
Tags are just arbitrary strings which are attached to source files which mark them as having some property. By default, all source files have the "gem5 lib" tag added to them which marks them as part of the gem5 library, the primary component of the gem5 binary but also a seperable component for use in, for example, system C. The tags can be completely overridden by setting the "tags" parameter on Source, etc., functions, and can be augmented by setting "add_tags" which are tags that will be added, or alternatively additional tags. It's possible to specify both, in which case the tags will be set to the union of tags and add_tags. add_tags is supposed to be a way to add extra tags to the default without actually overriding the default. Both tags and add_tags can be a list/tuple/etc of tags, or a single string which will be converted into a set internally. Other existing tags include: 1. "python" for files that need or are used with python and are excluded when the --without-python option is set 2. "main" for the file(s) which implement the gem5 binary's main function. 3. The name of a unit test to group its files together. 4. Tags which group source files for partial linking. By grouping the "tags" into a single parameter instead of taking all extra parameters as tags, the extra parameters can, in the future, be passed to the underlying scons environment. Also, the tags are either present or not. With guards, they could be present and True, present and False, or not present at all.

NullSimObject doesn't have a has_parent function, and it's not clear what its return value should be if one were added. The appropriate value seems to depend on why some other bit of code is checking if there's a parent in the first place. In SimObjectVector, the has_parent function is checking whether all of its elements have a parent. In this particular case, the most reasonable thing to do seems to be to just skip those elements.

2017-08-30python: Make GlobalExitEvent.getCode() return an intAndreas Sandberg
PyBind normally casts integers returned from the C to long in Python. This is normally fine since long in most cases behaves just like an int. However, when passing the return value from getcode() to sys.exit, unexpected behavior ensues. Due to the way the function is defined, any type other than int (with the exception of None) will be treated as an error and be equivalent to sys.exit(1). Since we frequently use the sys.exit(event.getCode()) pattern, we need to ensure that the function returns an integer. This change adds an explicit type conversion to a Python integer in the wrapper code.

Previously proxy vector parameters would resolve correctly only for Parent.all. Any other proxy such as Parent.any, or exact ones such as Parent.addr_range would resolve to a *vector* of the right value resulting into a vector of a vector. For example if we set: DirectoryController0.addr_range = [0x100000-0x1fffff, 0x200000-0x2fffff] DirectoryMemory0.addr_range = Parent.addr_range where DirectoryController0 is the parent SimObject of DirectoryMemory0 after unproxying the Parent.addr_range VectorParam we would get DirectoryMemory0.addr_range = [[0x100000-0x1fffff, 0x200000-0x2fffff]] This change unifies handling of all three proxies to the same correct unproxy mechanism.

The current implementation of reference counting for PyEvents only partially works. The native object is currently kept alive while it is in the event queue. However, if the Python object goes out of scope, the Python side of this object is garbage collected which leaves a "dangling" native object. This results in confusing error messages where PyBind is unable to find the Python implementation of an event when it is triggered.

2017-05-02python: Use PyBind11 instead of SWIG for Python wrappersAndreas Sandberg
Use the PyBind11 wrapping infrastructure instead of SWIG to generate wrappers for functionality that needs to be exported to Python. This has several benefits: * PyBind11 can be redistributed with gem5, which means that we have full control of the version used. This avoid a large number of hard-to-debug SWIG issues we have seen in the past. * PyBind11 doesn't rely on a custom C++ parser, instead it relies on wrappers being explicitly declared in C++. The leads to slightly more boiler-plate code in manually created wrappers, but doesn't doesn't increase the overall code size. A big benefit is that this avoids strange compilation errors when SWIG doesn't understand modern language features. * Unlike SWIG, there is no risk that the wrapper code incorporates incorrect type casts (this has happened on numerous occasions in the past) since these will result in compile-time errors. As a part of this change, the mechanism to define exported methods has been redesigned slightly. New methods can be exported either by declaring them in the SimObject declaration and decorating them with the cxxMethod decorator or by adding an instance of PyBindMethod/PyBindProperty to the cxx_exports class variable. The decorator has the added benefit of making it possible to add a docstring and naming the method's parameters. The new wrappers have the following known issues: * Global events can't be memory managed correctly. This was the case in SWIG as well.

2017-02-27base: Refactor logging to make log level selection cleanerAndreas Sandberg
It's currently possible to change the log level in gem5 by tweaking a set of global variables. These variables are currently exposed to Python using SWIG. This mechanism is far from ideal for two reasons: First, changing the log level requires that the Python world enables or disables individual levels. Ideally, this should be a single call where a log level is selected. Second, exporting global variables is poorly supported by most Python frameworks. SWIG puts variables in their own namespace and PyBind doesn't seem to support it at all. This changeset refactors the logging code to create a more abstract interface. Each log level is associated with an instance of a Logger class. This class contains common functionality, an enable flag, and a verbose flag. Available LogLevels are described by the LogLevel class. Lower log levels are used for more critical messages (PANIC being level 0) and higher levels for less critical messages. The highest log level that is printed is controlled by calling Logger:setLevel().

2017-02-27python: Add a generalized mechanism to configure statsAndreas Sandberg
Add a mechanism to configure the stat output format using a URL-like syntax. This makes it possible to specify both an output format (currently, only text is supported) and override default parameters. On the Python-side, this is implemented using a helper function (m5.stats.addStatVisitor) that adds a visitor to the list of active stat visitors. The helper function parses a URL-like stat specification to determine the stat output type. Optional parameters can be specified to change how stat visitors behave. For example, to output stats in text format without stat descriptions: m5.stats.addStatVisitor("text://stats.txt?desc=False") From the command line: gem5.opt --stats-file="text://stats.txt?desc=False" Internally, the stat framework uses the _url_factory decorator to wrap a Python function with the fn(path, **kwargs) signature in a function that takes a parsed URL as its only argument. The path and keyword arguments are automatically derived from the URL in the wrapper function. New output formats can be registered in the m5.stats.factories dictionary. This dictionary contains a mapping between format names (URL schemes) and factory methods. To retain backwards compatibility, the code automatically assumes that the user wants text output if no format has been specified (i.e., when specifying a plain path).

2017-02-07style: Force Python.h to be included before main headerAndreas Sandberg
Python's header files set various compiler macros (e.g., _XOPEN_SOURCE) unconditionally. This triggers preprocessor warnings that end up being treated as errors. The Python integration manual [1] strongly recommends that Python.h is included before any system header. The style guide used to mandate that Python.h is included first in any file that needs it. This requirement was changed to always include a source file's main header first, which ended up triggering these errors. This change updates the style checker to always include Python.h before the main header file.

2017-01-27python: Move native wrappers to the _m5 namespaceAndreas Sandberg
Swig wrappers for native objects currently share the _m5.internal name space with Python code. This is undesirable if we ever want to switch from Swig to some other framework for native binding (e.g., PyBind11 or Boost::Python). This changeset moves all of such wrappers to the _m5 namespace, which is now reserved for native code.
