2016-10-04sim: Add a checkpoint function to test for entriesAndreas Sandberg
When loading a checkpoint, it's sometimes desirable to be able to test whether an entry within a secion exists. This is currently done automatically in the UNSERIALIZE_OPT_SCALAR macro, but it isn't possible to do for arrays, containers, or enums. Instead of adding even more macros, add a helper function (CheckpointIn::entryExists()) that tests for the presence of an entry.

2015-12-04sim: Get rid of the non-const serialize() methodAndreas Sandberg
The last SimObject using the legacy serialize API with non-const methods has now been transitioned to the new API. This changeset removes the serializeOld() methods from the serialization base class as they are no longer used.
2015-09-02sim: tag-based checkpoint versioningCurtis Dunham
This commit addresses gem5 checkpoints' linear versioning bottleneck. Since development is distributed across many private trees, there exists a sort of 'race' for checkpoint version numbers: internally a checkpoint version may be used but then resynchronizing with the external tree causes a conflict on that version. This change replaces the linear version number with a set of unique strings called tags. Now the only conflicts that can arise are of tag names, where collisions are much easier to avoid. The checkpoint upgrader (util/cpt_upgrader.py) upgrades the version representation, as one would expect. Each tag version implements its upgrader code in a python file in the util/cpt_upgraders directory rather than adding a function to the upgrader script itself. The version tags are stored in the 'Globals' section rather than 'root' (as the version was previously) because 'Globals' gets unserialized first and can provide a warning before any other unserialization errors can occur.
2015-09-02sim: support checkpointing std::set<std::string>'sCurtis Dunham
This is in support of tag-based checkpoint versioning; the version tags are stored in string sets. This commit adds such support.
2015-09-02sim: make warning for absent optional parameters optionalCurtis Dunham
This is in support of tag-based checkpoint versioning. It should be possible to examine an optional parameter in a checkpoint during unserialization and not have it throw a warning.
2015-09-01sim: Remove broken AutoSerialize support from the event queueAndreas Sandberg
Event auto-serialization no longer in use and has been broken ever since the introduction of PDES support almost two years ago. Additionally, serializing the individual event queues is undesirable since it exposes the thread structure of the simulator. What this means in practice is that the number of threads in the simulator must be the same when taking a checkpoint and when loading the checkpoint. This changeset removes support for the AutoSerialize event flag and the associated serialization code.

The object resolver isn't serialization specific and shouldn't live in serialize.hh. Move it to sim_object.hh since it queries to the SimObject hierarchy.
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.
2015-07-07sim: Add macros to serialize objects into a sectionAndreas Sandberg
Add the SERIALIZE_OBJ / UNSERIALIZE_OBJ macros that serialize an object into a subsection of the current checkpoint section.
2015-07-07sim: Fix broken event unserializationAndreas Sandberg
Events expected to be unserialized using an event-specific unserializeEvent call. This call was never actually used, which meant the events relying on it never got unserialized (or scheduled after unserialization). Instead of relying on a custom call, we now use the normal serialization code again. In order to schedule the event correctly, the parrent object is expected to use the EventQueue::checkpointReschedule() call. This happens automatically for events that are serialized using the AutoSerialize mechanism.
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.

2014-10-16sim: Add support for serializing BitUnionXXAndreas Sandberg
BitUnion instances can normally not be used with the SERIALIZE_SCALAR and UNSERIALIZE_SCALAR macros due to the way they are converted between their storage type and their actual type. This changeset adds a set of parm(In|Out) functions specifically for gem5 bit unions to work around the issue.
2014-10-16config: Add a --without-python option to build processAndrew Bardsley
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 into libgem5 using only C++ which would make embedding gem5 within other simulation systems easier. This adds a few registration interfaces to things which cross between Python and C++. Namely: stats dumping and SimObject resolving

2014-02-05sim: bump checkpoint version for multiple event queuesCurtis Dunham

2014-04-19ruby: recorder: Fix (de-)serializing with different cache block-sizesMarco Elver
Upon aggregating records, serialize system's cache-block size, as the cache-block size can be different when restoring from a checkpoint. This way, we can correctly read all records when restoring from a checkpoints, even if the cache-block size is different. Note, that it is only possible to restore from a checkpoint if the desired cache-block size is smaller or equal to the cache-block size when the checkpoint was taken; we can split one larger request into multiple small ones, but it is not reliable to do the opposite.

2013-11-25sim: simulate with multiple threads and event queuesSteve Reinhardt ext:(%2C%20Nilay%20Vaish%20%3Cnilay%40cs.wisc.edu%3E%2C%20Ali%20Saidi%20%3CAli.Saidi%40ARM.com%3E)
This patch adds support for simulating with multiple threads, each of which operates on an event queue. Each sim object specifies which eventq is would like to be on. A custom barrier implementation is being added using which eventqs synchronize. The patch was tested in two different configurations: 1. ruby_network_test.py: in this simulation L1 cache controllers receive requests from the cpu. The requests are replied to immediately without any communication taking place with any other level. 2. twosys-tsunami-simple-atomic: this configuration simulates a client-server system which are connected by an ethernet link. We still lack the ability to communicate using message buffers or ports. But other things like simulation start and end, synchronizing after every quantum are working. Committed by: Nilay Vaish
2013-10-31ARM: add support for TEEHBR accessChander Sudanthi
Thumb2 ARM kernels may access the TEEHBR via thumbee_notifier in arch/arm/kernel/thumbee.c. The Linux kernel code just seems to be saving and restoring the register. This patch adds support for the TEEHBR cp14 register. Note, this may be a special case when restoring from an image that was run on a system that supports ThumbEE.
2013-10-31dev: Fix race conditions in IDE device on newer kernelsGeoffrey Blake
Newer linux kernels and distros exercise more functionality in the IDE device than previously, exposing 2 races. The first race is the handling of aborted DMA commands would immediately report the device is ready back to the kernel and cause already in flight commands to assert the simulator when they returned and discovered an inconsitent device state. The second race was due to the Status register not being handled correctly, the interrupt status bit would get stuck at 1 and the driver eventually views this as a bad state and logs the condition to the terminal. This patch fixes these two conditions by making the device handle aborted commands gracefully and properly handles clearing the interrupt status bit in the Status register.
2013-08-07x86: add tlb checkpointingNilay Vaish
This patch adds checkpointing support to x86 tlb. It upgrades the cpt_upgrader.py script so that previously created checkpoints can be updated. It moves the checkpoint version to 6.
2013-02-19scons: Add warning for missing declarationsAndreas Hansson
This patch enables warnings for missing declarations. To avoid issues with SWIG-generated code, the warning is only applied to non-SWIG code.
2013-01-07arm: Remove the register mapping hack used when copying TCsAndreas Sandberg
In order to see all registers independent of the current CPU mode, the ARM architecture model uses the magic MISCREG_CPSR_MODE register to change the register mappings without actually updating the CPU mode. This hack is no longer needed since the thread context now provides a flat interface to the register file. This patch replaces the CPSR_MODE hack with the flat register interface.
2013-01-07arch: Move the ISA object to a separate sectionAndreas Sandberg
After making the ISA an independent SimObject, it is serialized automatically by the Python world. Previously, this just resulted in an empty ISA section. This patch moves the contents of the ISA to that section and removes the explicit ISA serialization from the thread contexts, which makes it behave like a normal SimObject during serialization. Note: This patch breaks checkpoint backwards compatibility! Use the cpt_upgrader.py utility to upgrade old checkpoints to the new format.
2012-11-02sim: Move the draining interface into a separate base classAndreas Sandberg
This patch moves the draining interface from SimObject to a separate class that can be used by any object needing draining. However, objects not visible to the Python code (i.e., objects not deriving from SimObject) still depend on their parents informing them when to drain. This patch also gets rid of the CountedDrainEvent (which isn't really an event) and replaces it with a DrainManager.
2012-11-02ARM: dump stats and process info on context switchesDam Sunwoo
This patch enables dumping statistics and Linux process information on context switch boundaries (__switch_to() calls) that are used for Streamline integration (a graphical statistics viewer from ARM).
2012-10-15Mem: Separate the host and guest views of memory backing storeAndreas Hansson
This patch moves all the memory backing store operations from the independent memory controllers to the global physical memory. The main reason for this patch is to allow address striping in a future set of patches, but at this point it already provides some useful functionality in that it is now possible to change the number of memory controllers and their address mapping in combination with checkpointing. Thus, the host and guest view of the memory backing store are now completely separate. With this patch, the individual memory controllers are far simpler as all responsibility for serializing/unserializing is moved to the physical memory. Currently, the functionality is more or less moved from AbstractMemory to PhysicalMemory without any major changes. However, in a future patch the physical memory will also resolve any ranges that are interleaved and properly assign the backing store to the memory controllers, and keep the host memory as a single contigous chunk per address range. Functionality for future extensions which involve CPU virtualization also enable the host to get pointers to the backing store.
2012-07-09Fix: Address a few benign memory leaksAndreas Hansson
This patch is the result of static analysis identifying a number of memory leaks. The leaks are all benign as they are a result of not deallocating memory in the desctructor. The fix still has value as it removes false positives in the static analysis.

2012-03-19gcc: Clean-up of non-C++0x compliant code, first stepsAndreas Hansson
This patch cleans up a number of minor issues aiming to get closer to compliance with the C++0x standard as interpreted by gcc and clang (compile with std=c++0x and -pedantic-errors). In particular, the patch cleans up enums where the last item was succeded by a comma, namespaces closed by a curcly brace followed by a semi-colon, and the use of the GNU-extension typeof (replaced by templated functions). It does not address variable-length arrays, zero-size arrays, anonymous structs, range expressions in switch statements, and the use of long long. The generated CPU code also has a large number of issues that remain to be fixed, mainly related to overflows in implicit constant conversion (due to shifts).

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().

2010-01-19util: do checkpoint aggregation more cleanly, fix last changeset.Lisa Hsu
1) Move alpha-specific code out of page_table.cc:serialize(). 2) Begin serializing M5_pid and unserializing it, but adding an function to do optional paramIn so that old checkpoints don't need to be fixed up. 3) Fix up alpha startup code so that the unserialized M5_pid value is properly written to DTB_IPR_ASN. 4) Fix the memory unserialize that I forgot somehow in the last changeset. 5) Add in an agg_se.py to handle aggregated checkpoints. --bench foo-bar plus positional arguments foo bar are the only changes in usage from se.py. Note this aggregation stuff has only been tested for Alpha and nothing else, though it should take a very minimal amount of work to get it to work with another ISA.
