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.

Used cppclean to help identify useless includes and removed them. This

Call the stat visitor from the stat itself rather than casting stats

Some configuration scripts need periodic stat dumps. One of the ways
this can be achieved is by using the pariodicStatDump helper
function. This function was previously only exported in the internal
name space. Export it as a normal function in m5.stat instead.

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.

Currently only 'start' and 'end' of AddrRange are printed in config.ini.
This causes address ranges to be overlapping when loading a c++-only
config with interleaved addresses using CxxConfigManger. This patch adds
prints for the interleave and XOR bits to config.ini such that address
ranges are properly setup with cxx config.

This changeset updates the dot output to bail out if it is unable to
resolve the voltage or clock domains (which will cause it to raise an
AttributeError). Additionally, the DVFS dot output is disabled by
default for speed purposes.
Minor fixup for 0aeca8f.
|
|
This patch adds a secondary dot output file which shows the DVFS domains. This
has been done separately for now to avoid cluttering the already existing
diagram. Due to the way that the clock domains are assigned to components in
gem5, this output must be generated after the C++ objects have been
instantiated. This further motivates the need to generate this file separately
to the current dot output, and not to replace it entirely.

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.

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.

This patch adds a --debug-end flag to main.py so that debug output can be
stoped at a specified tick, while allowing the simulation to continue. It is
useful in situations where you would like to produce a trace for a region of
interest while still collecting stats for the entire run. This is in contrast
to the currently existing --debug-break flag, which terminates the simulation
at the tick.

|
|
By ignoring SIG_TRAP, using --debug-break <N> when not connected to
a debugger becomes a no-op. Apparently this was intended to be a
feature, though the rationale is not clear.
If we don't ignore SIG_TRAP, then using --debug-break <N> when not
connected to a debugger causes the simulation process to terminate
at tick N. This is occasionally useful, e.g., if you just want to
collect a trace for a specific window of execution then you can combine
this with --debug-start to do exactly that.
In addition to not ignoring the signal, this patch also updates
the --debug-break help message and deletes a handful of unprotected
calls to Debug::breakpoint() that relied on the prior behavior.

The gem5 option '--list-sim-objects' is supposed to list all available
SimObjects and their parameters. It currently chokes on SimObjects
with parameters that have an object instance as their default
value. This is caused by __str__ in SimObject trying to resolve its
complete path. When the path resolution method reaches the parent
object (a MetaSimObject since it hasn't been instantiated), it dies
with a Python exception.
This changeset adds a guard to stop path resolution if the parent
object is a MetaSimObject.

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.

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.

The memWriteback() and memInvalidate() calls used to live in the
Serializable interface. In this series of patches, the Serializable
interface will be redesigned to make serialization independent of the
object graph and always work on the entire simulator. This means that
the Serialization interface won't be useful to perform maintenance of
the caches in a sub-graph of the entire SimObject graph. This
changeset moves these memory maintenance methods to the SimObject
interface instead.
|
|
When the Python helper code switches CPU models, it sometimes also
needs to change the memory mode of the simulator. When this happens,
it accidentally tried to drain the simulator despite having done so
already. This changeset removes the redundant drain.
|

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.

This patch extends the current address interleaving with basic hashing
support. Instead of directly comparing a number of address bits with a

address bits XOR'ed together. This avoids issues where strided address
patterns are heavily biased to a subset of the interleaved ranges.

When gem5 is a slave to another simulator and the Python is only used

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.

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.

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

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.

This patch adds the ability to load in config.ini files generated from
gem5 into another instance of gem5 built without Python configuration
support. The intended use case is for configuring gem5 when it is a
library embedded in another simulation system.
A parallel config file reader is also provided purely in Python to
demonstrate the approach taken and to provided similar functionality
for as-yet-unknown use models. The Python configuration file reader
can read both .ini and .json files.
C++ configuration file reading:
A command line option has been added for scons to enable C++ configuration
file reading: --with-cxx-config
There is an example in util/cxx_config that shows C++ configuration in action.
util/cxx_config/README explains how to build the example.
Configuration is achieved by the object CxxConfigManager. It handles
reading object descriptions from a CxxConfigFileBase object which
wraps a config file reader. The wrapper class CxxIniFile is provided
which wraps an IniFile for reading .ini files. Reading .json files
from C++ would be possible with a similar wrapper and a JSON parser.
After reading object descriptions, CxxConfigManager creates
SimObjectParam-derived objects from the classes in the (generated with this
patch) directory build/ARCH/cxx_config
CxxConfigManager can then build SimObjects from those SimObjectParams (in an
order dictated by the SimObject-value parameters on other objects) and bind
ports of the produced SimObjects.
A minimal set of instantiate-replacing member functions are provided by
CxxConfigManager and few of the member functions of SimObject (such as drain)
are extended onto CxxConfigManager.
Python configuration file reading (configs/example/read_config.py):
A Python version of the reader is also supplied with a similar interface to
CxxConfigFileBase (In Python: ConfigFile) to config file readers.
The Python config file reading will handle both .ini and .json files.
The object construction strategy is slightly different in Python from the C++
reader as you need to avoid objects prematurely becoming the children of other
objects when setting parameters.
Port binding also needs to be strictly in the same port-index order as the
original instantiation.

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

This adds a few registration interfaces to things which cross

This patch 'completes' .json config files generation by adding in the
SimObject references and String-valued parameters not currently
printed.
TickParamValues are also changed to print in the same tick-value
format as in .ini files.
This allows .json files to describe a system as fully as the .ini files
currently do.
This patch adds a new function config_value (which mirrors ini_str) to
each ParamValue and to SimObject. This function can then be explicitly
changed to give different .json and .ini printing behaviour rather than
being written in terms of ini_str.

Parsing vectorparams from the command was slightly broken

The new configuration scripts need the ability to splice
a simobject between a pair of ports that are already connected.
The primary use case is when a CommMonitor needs to be
created after the system is configured and then spliced between
the pair of ports it will monitor.

When passed from a configuration script with a hexadecimal value (like
"0x80000000"), gem5 would error out. This is because it would call
"toMemorySize" which requires the argument to end with a size specifier (like
1MB, etc).
This modification makes it so raw hex values can be passed through Addr
parameters from the configuration scripts.
