2014-08-12	energy: Tighter checking of levels for DFS systems	Stephan Diestelhorst
	There are cases where users might by accident / intention specify less voltage operating points thatn frequency points. We consider one of these cases special: giving only a single voltage to a voltage domain effectively renders it as a static domain. This patch adds additional logic in the auxiliary parts of the functionality to handle these cases properly (simple driver asking for N>1 operating levels, we should return the same voltage for all of them) and adds error checking code in the voltage domain.
2014-06-16	energy: Small extentions and fixes for DVFS handler	Stephan Diestelhorst
	These additions allow easier interoperability with and querying from an additional controller which will be in a separate patch. Also adding warnings for changing the enabled state of the handler across checkpoint / resume and deviating from the state in the configuration. Contributed-by: Akash Bagdia <akash.bagdia@arm.com>
2014-09-09	misc: Fix a number of unitialised variables and members	Andreas Hansson
	Static analysis unearther a bunch of uninitialised variables and members, and this patch addresses the problem. In all cases these omissions seem benign in the end, but at least fixing them means less false positives next time round.
2014-06-30	power: Add basic DVFS support for gem5	Stephan Diestelhorst
	Adds DVFS capabilities to gem5, by allowing users to specify lists for frequencies and voltages in SrcClockDomains and VoltageDomains respectively. A separate component, DVFSHandler, provides a small interface to change operating points of the associated domains. Clock domains will be linked to voltage domains and thus allow separate clock, but shared voltage lines. Currently all the valid performance-level updates are performed with a fixed transition latency as specified for the domain. Config file example: ... vd = VoltageDomain(voltage = ['1V','0.95V','0.90V','0.85V']) tsys.cluster1.clk_domain.clock = ['1GHz','700MHz','400MHz','230MHz'] tsys.cluster2.clk_domain.clock = ['1GHz','700MHz','400MHz','230MHz'] tsys.cluster1.clk_domain.domain_id = 0 tsys.cluster2.clk_domain.domain_id = 1 tsys.cluster1.clk_domain.voltage_domain = vd tsys.cluster2.clk_domain.voltage_domain = vd tsys.dvfs_handler.domains = [tsys.cluster1.clk_domain, tsys.cluster2.clk_domain] tsys.dvfs_handler.enable = True
