This patch adds methods in KvmCPU model to handle KVM exits caused by syscall
instructions and page faults. These types of exits will be encountered if
KvmCPU is run in SE mode.
|
|
SimLoopExitEvents weren't serialized by default. Some benchmarks
utilize a delayed m5 exit pseudo op call to terminate the simulation
and this event was lost when resuming from a checkpoint generated
after the pseudo op call. This patch adds the capability to serialize
the SimLoopExitEvents and enable serialization for m5_exit and m5_fail
pseudo ops by default. Does not affect other generic
SimLoopExitEvents.

The order between updating and using arg_num in
PseudoInst::pseudoInst() is currently undefined. This changeset
explicitly updates arg_num after it has been used to extract an
argument.

All architectures execute m5 pseudo instructions by setting up
arguments according to the ABI and executing a magic instruction that
contains an operation number. Handling of such instructions is
currently spread across the different ISA implementations. This
changeset introduces the PseudoInst::pseudoInst function which handles
most of this in an architecture independent way. This is function is
mainly intended to be used from KVM, but can also be used from the
simulated CPUs.

Used as a command in full-system scripts helps the user ensure the benchmarks have finished successfully.
For example, one can use:
/path/to/benchmark args || /sbin/m5 fail 1
and thus ensure gem5 will exit with an error if the benchmark fails.

This patch addresses the comments and feedback on the preceding patch
that reworks the clocks and now more clearly shows where cycles
(relative cycle counts) are used to express time.
Instead of bumping the existing patch I chose to make this a separate
patch, merely to try and focus the discussion around a smaller set of
changes. The two patches will be pushed together though.
This changes done as part of this patch are mostly following directly
from the introduction of the wrapper class, and change enough code to
make things compile and run again. There are definitely more places
where int/uint/Tick is still used to represent cycles, and it will
take some time to chase them all down. Similarly, a lot of parameters
should be changed from Param.Tick and Param.Unsigned to
Param.Cycles.
In addition, the use of curTick is questionable as there should not be
an absolute cycle. Potential solutions can be built on top of this
patch. There is a similar situation in the o3 CPU where
lastRunningCycle is currently counting in Cycles, and is still an
absolute time. More discussion to be had in other words.
An additional change that would be appropriate in the future is to
perform a similar wrapping of Tick and probably also introduce a
Ticks class along with suitable operators for all these classes.

filesystem
Usage: m5 writefile <filename>
File will be created in the gem5 output folder with the identical filename.
Implementation is largely based on the existing "readfile" functionality.
Currently does not support exporting of folders.

Try to decrease indentation, and remove some redundant FullSystem checks.

This patch adds a mechanism to collect run time samples for specific portions
of a benchmark, using work_begin and work_end pseudo instructions.It also enhances
the histogram stat to report geometric mean.

Use exitSimLoop() function instead of explicitly scheduling
on mainEventQueue (which won't work once we go to multiple
event queues). Also introduced a local params variable to
shorten a lot of expressions.
|
|
|
|
At the same time, rename the trace flags to debug flags since they
have broader usage than simply tracing. This means that
--trace-flags is now --debug-flags and --trace-help is now --debug-help

This patch prevents not executed conditional instructions marked as
IsQuiesce from stalling the pipeline indefinitely. If the instruction
is not executed the quiesceSkip psuedoinst is called which schedules a
wakes up call to the fetch stage.
|
|
|
|
This step makes it easy to replace the accessor functions
(which still access a global variable) with ones that access
per-thread curTick values.
|
|
This follows the style rules and is more descriptive.
|
|
Avoid direct references to mainEventQueue in pseudo-insts
by indirecting through associated CPU object.
Made exitSimLoop() more flexible to enable some of these.

Ran all the source files through 'perl -pi' with this script:
s|\s*(};?\s*)?/\*\s*(end\s*)?namespace\s*(\S+)\s*\*/(\s*})?|} // namespace $3|;
s|\s*};?\s*//\s*(end\s*)?namespace\s*(\S+)\s*|} // namespace $2\n|;
s|\s*};?\s*//\s*(\S+)\s*namespace\s*|} // namespace $1\n|;
Also did a little manual editing on some of the arch/*/isa_traits.hh files
and src/SConscript.

It's instantaneous and so it's somewhat bogus, but it's a first step.
|
|
|
|
This instruction basically returns the number of nanoseconds that the CPU
has been running.
|
|
For now, there is still a single global event queue, but this is
necessary for making the steps towards a parallelized m5.
|
|
A whole bunch of stuff has been converted to use the new params stuff, but
the CPU wasn't one of them. While we're at it, make some things a bit
more stylish. Most of the work was done by Gabe, I just cleaned stuff up
a bit more at the end.
|
|
- insert warnings for deprecated m5ops
- reserve opcodes for Ali's stuff
- remove code for stuff that has been deprecated forever
- simplify m5op_alpha

1) return the periodicity of checkpoints back into the code (i.e. make m5 checkpoint n m meaningful again).
2) to do this, i had to much around with being able to repeatedly schedule and SimLoopExitEvent, which led to changes in how exit simloop events are handled to make this easier.
src/arch/alpha/isa/decoder.isa:
src/mem/cache/cache_impl.hh:
modify arg. order for new calling convention of exitSimLoop.
src/cpu/base.cc:
src/sim/main.cc:
src/sim/pseudo_inst.cc:
src/sim/root.cc:
now, instead of creating a new SimLoopExitEvent, call a wrapper schedExitSimLoop which handles all the default args.
src/sim/sim_events.cc:
src/sim/sim_events.hh:
src/sim/sim_exit.hh:
add the periodicity of checkpointing back into the code.
to facilitate this, there are now two wrappers (instead of just overloading exitSimLoop). exitSimLoop is only for exiting NOW (i.e. at curTick), while schedExitSimLoop schedules and exit event for the future.
