2015-08-07base: Declare a type for context IDsAndreas Sandberg
Context IDs used to be declared as ad hoc (usually as int). This changeset introduces a typedef for ContextIDs and a constant for invalid context IDs.
2015-07-24style: change Process function calls to use camelCaseBrandon Potter
The Process class methods were using an improper style and this subsequently bled into the system call code. The following regular expressions should be helpful if someone transitions private system call patches on top of these changesets: s/alloc_fd/allocFD/ s/sim_fd(/simFD(/ s/sim_fd_obj/getFDEntry/ s/fix_file_offsets/fixFileOffsets/ s/find_file_offsets/findFileOffsets/
2015-07-24base: refactor process class (specifically FdMap and friends)Brandon Potter
This patch extends the previous patch's alterations around fd_map. It cleans up some of the uglier code in the process file and replaces it with a more concise C++11 version. As part of the changes, the FdMap class is pulled out of the Process class and receives its own file.
2015-07-24syscall_emul: file descriptor interface changesBrandon Potter
This patch gets rid of unused Process::dup_fd method and does minor refactoring in the process class files. The file descriptor max has been changed to be the number of file descriptors since this clarifies the loop boundary condition and cleans up the code a bit. The fd_map field has been altered to be dynamically allocated as opposed to being an array; the intention here is to build on this is subsequent patches to allow processes to share their file descriptors with the clone system call.
2015-07-07sim: Refactor and simplify the drain APIAndreas Sandberg
The drain() call currently passes around a DrainManager pointer, which is now completely pointless since there is only ever one global DrainManager in the system. It also contains vestiges from the time when SimObjects had to keep track of their child objects that needed draining. This changeset moves all of the DrainState handling to the Drainable base class and changes the drain() and drainResume() calls to reflect this. Particularly, the drain() call has been updated to take no parameters (the DrainManager argument isn't needed) and return a DrainState instead of an unsigned integer (there is no point returning anything other than 0 or 1 any more). Drainable objects should return either DrainState::Draining (equivalent to returning 1 in the old system) if they need more time to drain or DrainState::Drained (equivalent to returning 0 in the old system) if they are already in a consistent state. Returning DrainState::Running is considered an error. Drain done signalling is now done through the signalDrainDone() method in the Drainable class instead of using the DrainManager directly. The new call checks if the state of the object is DrainState::Draining before notifying the drain manager. This means that it is safe to call signalDrainDone() without first checking if the simulator has requested draining. The intention here is to reduce the code needed to implement draining in simple objects.
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.
2015-04-13sim: Use NULL instead of None for testing filenames.Nilay Vaish
The filenames are initialized with NULL. So the test should be checking for them to be == NULL instead == None.
2014-11-23mem: Page Table map api modificationAlexandru Dutu
This patch adds uncacheable/cacheable and read-only/read-write attributes to the map method of PageTableBase. It also modifies the constructor of TlbEntry structs for all architectures to consider the new attributes.
2014-11-23x86: Segment initialization to support KvmCPU in SEAlexandru Dutu
This patch sets up low and high privilege code and data segments and places them in the following order: cs low, ds low, ds, cs, in the GDT. Additionally, a syscall and page fault handler for KvmCPU in SE mode are defined. The order of the segment selectors in GDT is required in this manner for interrupt handling to work properly. Segment initialization is done for all the thread contexts.
2014-10-22syscall_emul: add EmulatedDriver objectSteve Reinhardt
Fake SE-mode device drivers can now be added by deriving from this abstract object.
2014-08-28mem: adding architectural page table support for SE modeAlexandru
This patch enables the use of page tables that are stored in system memory and respect x86 specification, in SE mode. It defines an architectural page table for x86 as a MultiLevelPageTable class and puts a placeholder class for other ISAs page tables, giving the possibility for future implementation.
2014-04-01mem: adding a multi-level page table classAlexandru
This patch defines a multi-level page table class that stores the page table in system memory, consistent with ISA specifications. In this way, cpu models that use the actual hardware to execute (e.g. KvmCPU), are able to traverse the page table.
2012-08-06process: add progName() virtual functionSteve Reinhardt
This replaces a (potentially uninitialized) string field with a virtual function so that we can have a safe interface without requiring changes to the eio code.
2012-07-10Add hook to call map() on Process from python.Steve Reinhardt
This enables configuration scripts to set up mappings from process virtual addresses to specific physical addresses in SE mode. This feature is needed to support modeling of user-accessible memories or devices in SE mode, avoiding the complexities of FS mode and the need to write a device driver.
2012-02-24MEM: Make port proxies use references rather than pointersAndreas Hansson
This patch is adding a clearer design intent to all objects that would not be complete without a port proxy by making the proxies members rathen than dynamically allocated. In essence, if NULL would not be a valid value for the proxy, then we avoid using a pointer to make this clear. The same approach is used for the methods using these proxies, such as loadSections, that now use references rather than pointers to better reflect the fact that NULL would not be an acceptable value (in fact the code would break and that is how this patch started out). Overall the concept of "using a reference to express unconditional composition where a NULL pointer is never valid" could be done on a much broader scale throughout the code base, but for now it is only done in the locations affected by the proxies.

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: Add port proxies instead of non-structural portsAndreas Hansson
Port proxies are used to replace non-structural ports, and thus enable all ports in the system to correspond to a structural entity. This has the advantage of accessing memory through the normal memory subsystem and thus allowing any constellation of distributed memories, address maps, etc. Most accesses are done through the "system port" that is used for loading binaries, debugging etc. For the entities that belong to the CPU, e.g. threads and thread contexts, they wrap the CPU data port in a port proxy.

2011-10-30SE/FS: Build the base process class in FS.Gabe Black
2011-10-22SE: move page allocation from PageTable to ProcessSteve Reinhardt
PageTable supported an allocate() call that called back through the Process to allocate memory, but did not have a method to map addresses without allocating new pages. It makes more sense for Process to do the allocation, so this method was renamed allocateMem() and moved to Process, and uses a new map() call on PageTable. The remaining uses of the process pointer in PageTable were only to get the name and the PID, so by passing these in directly in the constructor, we can make PageTable completely independent of Process.
2011-09-09Stack: Tidy up some comments, a warning, and make stack extension consistent.Gabe Black
Do some minor cleanup of some recently added comments, a warning, and change other instances of stack extension to be like what's now being done for x86.

2010-08-17sim: revamp unserialization procedureSteve Reinhardt
Replace direct call to unserialize() on each SimObject with a pair of calls for better control over initialization in both ckpt and non-ckpt cases. If restoring from a checkpoint, loadState(ckpt) is called on each SimObject. The default implementation simply calls unserialize() if there is a corresponding checkpoint section, so we get backward compatibility for existing objects. However, objects can override loadState() to get other behaviors, e.g., doing other programmed initializations after unserialize(), or complaining if no checkpoint section is found. (Note that the default warning for a missing checkpoint section is now gone.) If not restoring from a checkpoint, we call the new initState() method on each SimObject instead. This provides a hook for state initializations that are only required when *not* restoring from a checkpoint. Given this new framework, do some cleanup of LiveProcess subclasses and X86System, which were (in some cases) emulating initState() behavior in startup via a local flag or (in other cases) erroneously doing initializations in startup() that clobbered state loaded earlier by unserialize().

2010-06-03Minor remote GDB cleanup.Steve Reinhardt
Expand the help text on the --remote-gdb-port option so people know you can use it to disable remote gdb without reading the source code, and thus don't waste any time trying to add a separate option to do that. Clean up some gdb-related cruft I found while looking for where one would add a gdb disable option, before I found the comment that told me that I didn't need to do that.
2009-10-30Syscalls: Make system calls access arguments like a stack, not an array.Gabe Black
When accessing arguments for a syscall, the position of an argument depends on the policies of the ISA, how much space preceding arguments took up, and the "alignment" of the index for this particular argument into the number of possible storate locations. This change adjusts getSyscallArg to take its index parameter by reference instead of value and to adjust it to point to the possible location of the next argument on the stack, basically just after the current one. This way, the rules for the new argument can be applied locally without knowing about other arguments since those have already been taken into account implicitly. All system calls have also been changed to reflect the new interface. In a number of cases this made the implementation clearer since it encourages arguments to be collected in one place in order and then used as necessary later, as opposed to scattering them throughout the function or using them in place in long expressions. It also discourages using getSyscallArg over and over to retrieve the same value when a temporary would do the job.

The initial stack frame for x86 is now substantially more correct. The fixes made here can be back ported to SPARC and possible the other ISAs as well.
