2017-03-07power: Avoid forward declarations that confuse wrappersAndreas Sandberg
The Python wrappers get confused by the forward declarations in the power framework. This changeset restructures the code slightly to avoid the troublesome forward declarations.

2017-03-06syscall-emul: Remove unused class and memberBrandon Potter
The WaitRec structure in the Process class is unnecessary. There is a member declaration inside of the Process class, waitList, that uses the WaitRec definition. However, waitList is unused so they are both dead bits of code. This changeset removes both the WaitRec struct and waitList member from Process.

2017-02-27syscall_emul: [PATCH 15/22] add clone/execve for threading and multiprocess ↵Brandon Potter
simulations Modifies the clone system call and adds execve system call. Requires allowing processes to steal thread contexts from other processes in the same system object and the ability to detach pieces of process state (such as MemState) to allow dynamic sharing.
2017-02-27syscall_emul: [patch 14/22] adds identifier system callsBrandon Potter

2015-07-20syscall_emul: [patch 13/22] add system call retry capabilityBrandon Potter
This changeset adds functionality that allows system calls to retry without affecting thread context state such as the program counter or register values for the associated thread context (when system calls return with a retry fault). This functionality is needed to solve problems with blocking system calls in multi-process or multi-threaded simulations where information is passed between processes/threads. Blocking system calls can cause deadlock because the simulator itself is single threaded. There is only a single thread servicing the event queue which can cause deadlock if the thread hits a blocking system call instruction. To illustrate the problem, consider two processes using the producer/consumer sharing model. The processes can use file descriptors and the read and write calls to pass information to one another. If the consumer calls the blocking read system call before the producer has produced anything, the call will block the event queue (while executing the system call instruction) and deadlock the simulation. The solution implemented in this changeset is to recognize that the system calls will block and then generate a special retry fault. The fault will be sent back up through the function call chain until it is exposed to the cpu model's pipeline where the fault becomes visible. The fault will trigger the cpu model to replay the instruction at a future tick where the call has a chance to succeed without actually going into a blocking state. In subsequent patches, we recognize that a syscall will block by calling a non-blocking poll (from inside the system call implementation) and checking for events. When events show up during the poll, it signifies that the call would not have blocked and the syscall is allowed to proceed (calling an underlying host system call if necessary). If no events are returned from the poll, we generate the fault and try the instruction for the thread context at a distant tick. Note that retrying every tick is not efficient. As an aside, the simulator has some multi-threading support for the event queue, but it is not used by default and needs work. Even if the event queue was completely multi-threaded, meaning that there is a hardware thread on the host servicing a single simulator thread contexts with a 1:1 mapping between them, it's still possible to run into deadlock due to the event queue barriers on quantum boundaries. The solution of replaying at a later tick is the simplest solution and solves the problem generally.

2015-07-20syscall_emul: [patch 11/22] extend functionality of fcntlBrandon Potter
This changeset adds the ability to set a close-on-exec flag for a given file descriptor. It also reworks some of the logic surrounding setting and retrieving flags from the file description.
2017-02-19sim: Ensure draining is deterministicAndreas Hansson
The traversal of drainable objects could potentially be non-deterministic when using an unordered set containing object pointers. To ensure that the iteration is deterministic, we switch to a vector. Note that the lookup and traversal of the drainable objects is not performance critical, so the change has no negative consequences.
2016-11-09syscall_emul: [patch 10/22] refactor fdentry and add fdarray classBrandon Potter
Several large changes happen in this patch. The FDEntry class is rewritten so that file descriptors now correspond to types: 'File' which is normal file-backed file with the file open on the host machine, 'Pipe' which is a pipe that has been opened on the host machine, and 'Device' which does not have an open file on the host yet acts as a pseudo device with which to issue ioctls. Other types which might be added in the future are directory entries and sockets (off the top of my head). The FDArray class was create to hold most of the file descriptor handling that was stuffed into the Process class. It uses shared pointers and the std::array type to hold the FDEntries mentioned above. The changes to these two classes needed to be propagated out to the rest of the code so there were quite a few changes for that. Also, comments were added where I thought they were needed to help others and extend our DOxygen coverage.
2016-11-09syscall_emul: [patch 9/22] remove unused global variable (num_processes)Brandon Potter
2016-11-09syscall_emul: [patch 8/22] refactor process classBrandon Potter
Moves aux_vector into its own .hh and .cc files just to get it out of the already crowded Process files. Arguably, it could stay there, but it's probably better just to move it and give it files. The changeset looks ugly around the Process header file, but the goal here is to move methods and members around so that they're not defined randomly throughout the entire header file. I expect this is likely one of the reasons why I several unused variables related to this class. So, the methods are declared first followed by members. I've tried to aggregate them together so that similar entries reside near one another. There are other changes coming to this code so this is by no means the final product.
2016-11-09syscall_emul: [patch 7/22] remove numCpus methodBrandon Potter
The numCpus method is misleading in that it's not really a measure of how many CPUs might be executing a process, but how many thread contexts are assigned to the process at any given point in time. It's nice to highlight this distinction because thread contexts are never reused in the same way that a CPU can be reused for multiple processes. The reason that there is no reuse is that there is no CPU scheduler for SE. The tru64 code intends to use this method and the accompanying contextIDs field to support SMT and track the number of threads with some system calls. With the up coming clone and exec patches, this paradigm must change. There needs to be a 1:1 mapping between the thread contexts and processes so that the process state between threads is allowed to vary when needed by Linux. This should not break SMT for tru64 if the Process class is refactored so that multiple Processes can share state between themselves. The following patches will do the refactoring incrementally as features are added.
2016-11-09syscall_emul: [patch 6/22] remove unused fields from Process classBrandon Potter
It looks like tru64 has some nxm* system calls, but the two fields that are defined in the Process class are unused by any of the code. There doesn't appear to be any reference in the tru64 code.
2016-11-09syscall_emul: [patch 5/22] remove LiveProcess class and use Process insteadBrandon Potter
The EIOProcess class was removed recently and it was the only other class which derived from Process. Since every Process invocation is also a LiveProcess invocation, it makes sense to simplify the organization by combining the fields from LiveProcess into Process.

2017-02-09misc: Fix order of object construction in the CxxConfigManagerChristian Menard
The CxxConfigManager schould create objects by traversing the object tree starting from the root object. However, currently objects are created in aplphabetical order, which only works if the root object alphabetically comes before any system object (e.g. 'root' < 'system'. Otherwise (e.g. 'a_system' < 'root'), object construction may fail. The reason for this behaviour is, that the call to findObject() in the sorting code also constructs the object if it is not yet existent. Then findTraversalOrder() calls findObject("root") and subseqeuently calls findObject() on all the children, and so on. However, the call to findTraversalOrder() is redundant, since all objects are already created in alphabetical order. This patch simply removes the alphabetical ordering, leading to the objects being created starting from 'root'.

2017-02-07style: Force Python.h to be included before main headerAndreas Sandberg
Python's header files set various compiler macros (e.g., _XOPEN_SOURCE) unconditionally. This triggers preprocessor warnings that end up being treated as errors. The Python integration manual [1] strongly recommends that Python.h is included before any system header. The style guide used to mandate that Python.h is included first in any file that needs it. This requirement was changed to always include a source file's main header first, which ended up triggering these errors. This change updates the style checker to always include Python.h before the main header file.

2016-10-26dev: Add m5 op to toggle synchronization for dist-gem5.Michael LeBeane
This patch adds the ability for an application to request dist-gem5 to begin/ end synchronization using an m5 op. When toggling on sync, all nodes agree on the next sync point based on the maximum of all nodes' ticks. CPUs are suspended until the sync point to avoid sending network messages until sync has been enabled. Toggling off sync acts like a global execution barrier, where all CPUs are disabled until every node reaches the toggle off point. This avoids tricky situations such as one node hitting a toggle off followed by a toggle on before the other nodes hit the first toggle off.

2016-06-28scons: Track swig packages when loading embedded swig codeAndreas Hansson
This patch changes how the embedded swig code is loaded to ensure that gem5 works with swig 3.0.9. For Python 2.7 and above, swig 3.0.9 now relies on importlib, and actually looks in the appropriate packages, even for the wrapped C code. However, the swig wrapper does not explicitly place the module in the right package (it just calls Py_InitModule), and we have to take explicit action to ensure that the swig code can be loaded. This patch adds the information to the generated wrappers and the appropriate calls to set the context as part of the swig initialisation. Previous versions of swig used to fall back on looking in the global namespace for the wrappers (and still do for Python 2.6), but technically things should not work without the functionality in this patch.
