The bitunion is not being initialized on constructor to avoid
performance overhead, and that generated a maybe-unitialized
error when a sub-class was being copied before assigned in
serialize's parseParam() in some compilers.
This patch adds zero-initialization to the problematic variable
to appease the compiler.

This patch is moving template overloading for BitUnions into the
showParam, parseParams functions. Henceforth BitUnion types will use the
common param wrapper.
This patch implicitly implements (UN)SERIALIZE_CONTAINER for BitUnions.

This patch is moving the definitions of paramIn/Out templates to
the header file. In this way we gain:
1) We don't have to do explicit instantiation anymore for user defined
types. This spares us from including data type header files into
serialize.cc
2) We can overload show/parseParam for BitUnions or any other type
that requires special handling when serializing. Just by overloading
the two templates we get all the containers' (list, vector, array..)
serialization for free
2) gtest: With the idea of adding unit tests for Serializable objects,
we can avoid importing serialize.cc and just redefine Serializable
methods in the test source, implementing a Serializable stub

They are now oriented around a class which makes it easy to provide
custom setter/getter functions which let you set or read bits in an
arbitrary way.
Future additions may add the ability to add custom bitfield methods,

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

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.

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.
|

This is in support of tag-based checkpoint versioning; the version tags
are stored in string sets. This commit adds such support.

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.

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

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.

Add the SERIALIZE_OBJ / UNSERIALIZE_OBJ macros that serialize an
object into a subsection of the current checkpoint section.
|

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.
|

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.

BitUnion instances can normally not be used with the SERIALIZE_SCALAR

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
between Python and C++. Namely: stats dumping and SimObject resolving

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.

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.

Thumb2 ARM kernels may access the TEEHBR via thumbee_notifier

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.

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.

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.

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

really an event) and replaces it with a DrainManager.

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.

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).

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().

Checkpoint object namespace.

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.
