2012-02-12	cpu: add separate stats for insts/ops both globally and per cpu model	Anthony Gutierrez

2012-02-12	mem: fix cache stats to use request ids correctly	Dam Sunwoo
	This patch fixes the cache stats to use the new request ids. Cache stats also display the requestor names in the vector subnames. Most cache stats now include "nozero" and "nonan" flags to reduce the amount of excessive cache stat dump. Also, simplified incMissCount()/incHitCount() functions.
2012-02-12	mem: Add a master ID to each request object.	Ali Saidi
	This change adds a master id to each request object which can be used identify every device in the system that is capable of issuing a request. This is part of the way to removing the numCpus+1 stats in the cache and replacing them with the master ids. This is one of a series of changes that make way for the stats output to be changed to python.

2012-02-11	SPARC: Make PSTATE and HPSTATE a BitUnion.	Gabe Black
	This gets rid of cryptic bits of code with lots of bit manipulation, and makes some comments redundant.
2012-02-10	Ruby: Remove isTagPresent() calls from Sequencer.cc	Nilay Vaish
	This patch removes the calls to isTagPresent() from Sequencer.cc. These calls are made just for setting the cache block to have been most recently used. The calls have been folded in to the function setMRU().
2012-02-10	MESI: Add queues for stalled requests	Nilay Vaish
	This patch adds support for stalling the requests queued up at different controllers for the MESI CMP directory protocol. Earlier the controllers would recycle the requests using some fixed latency. This results in younger requests getting serviced first at times, and can result in starvation. Instead all the requests that need a particular block to be in a stable state are moved to a separate queue, where they wait till that block returns to a stable state and then they are processed.
2012-02-10	sim/system: initialize the pagePtr variable	Nilay Vaish

2012-02-10	O3 CPU: Improve handling of delayed commit flag	Nilay Vaish
	The delayed commit flag is used in conjunction with interrupt pending flag to figure out whether or not fetch stage should get more instructions. This patch clears this flag when instructions are squashed. Also, in case an interrupt is pending, currently it is not possible to access the instruction cache. This patch allows accessing the cache in case this flag is set.
2012-02-10	O3 CPU: Strengthen condition for handling interrupts	Nilay Vaish
	The condition for handling interrupts is to check whether or not the cpu's instruction list is empty. As observed, this can lead to cases in which even though the instruction list is empty, interrupts are handled when they should not be. The condition is being strengthened so that interrupts get handled only when the last committed microop did not had IsDelayedCommit set.
2012-02-10	O3 CPU: Provide the squashing instruction	Nilay Vaish
	This patch adds a function to the ROB that will get the squashing instruction from the ROB's list of instructions. This squashing instruction is used for figuring out the macroop from which the fetch stage should fetch the microops. Further, a check has been added that if the instructions are to be fetched from the cache maintained by the fetch stage, then the data in the cache should be valid and the PC of the thread being fetched from is same as the address of the cache block.
2012-02-10	O3 Fetch: Check if PC is pointing to Microcode ROM	Nilay Vaish

2012-02-10	SE/FS: Record the system pointer all the time for the simple CPU.	Gabe Black
	This pointer was only being stored in code that came from SE mode. The system pointer is always meaningful and available, so it should always be stored.
2012-02-09	MEM: Remove onRetryList from BusPort and rely on retryList	Andreas Hansson
	This patch removes the onRetryList field from the BusPort class and entirely relies on the retryList which holds all ports that are waiting to retry. The onRetryList field and the retryList were previously used with overloaded functionalities and only one is really needed (there were also checks to assert they held the same information). After this patch the bus ports will be split into master and slave ports and this simplifies that transition.
2012-02-07	Checker: Access workload element 0 only if there is an element 0.	Gabe Black

2012-02-07	Faults: Turn off arch/faults.hh	Gabe Black
	Because there are no longer architecture independent but specialized functions in arch/XXX/faults.hh, code that isn't using the faults from a particular ISA no longer needs to be able to include them through the switching header file arch/faults.hh. By removing that header file (arch/faults.hh), the potential interface between ISA code and non ISA code is narrowed.
2012-02-03	System: Forgot to qrefresh with my last change.	Gabe Black

2012-02-02	System: Fix the check which detects running out of physical memory.	Gabe Black
	The code that checks whether pages allocated by allocPhysPages only checks that the first page fits into physical memory, not that all of them do. This change makes the code check the last page which should work properly. This function used to only allocate one page at a time, so the first page and last page used to be the same thing.
2012-02-01	configs: More fixes for the memory system updates	Ali Saidi

2012-01-31	Merge with head, hopefully the last time for this batch.	Gabe Black

2012-01-31	clang: Enable compiling gem5 using clang 2.9 and 3.0	Koan-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.
2012-01-31	MEM: Remove the otherPort from the cache ports	Andreas Hansson
	This patch is a very straight-forward simplification, removing the unecessary otherPort pointer from the cache port. The pointer was only used to forward range changes, and the address range is fixed for the cache. Removing the pointer simplifies the transition to master/slave ports.
2012-01-31	Thread: Use inherited baseCpu rather than cpu in SimpleThread	Andreas Hansson
	This patch is a trivial simplification, removing the cpu pointer from SimpleThread and relying on the baseCpu pointer in ThreadState. The patch does not add or change any functionality, it merely cleans up the code.
2012-01-31	util: implements "writefile" gem5 op to export file from guest to host ↵	Dam Sunwoo
	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.
2012-01-31	CheckerCPU: Re-factor CheckerCPU to be compatible with current gem5	Geoffrey Blake
	Brings the CheckerCPU back to life to allow FS and SE checking of the O3CPU. These changes have only been tested with the ARM ISA. Other ISAs potentially require modification.
2012-01-30	Merge with main repository.	Gabe Black

2012-01-30	MEM: Make the RubyPort physMemPort a PioPort instead of M5Port	Andreas Hansson
	This patch makes the physMemPort of the RubyPort a PioPort rather than an M5Port. This reflects the fact that the M5Port and PioPort have different roles. The M5Port is really a coherent slave that is connected to the CPUs and other coherent masters of the system, e.g. DMA ports. The PioPort, on the other hand, is a master port that is connected to the memory and other slaves, for example the pio devices. This simplifies future changes into master/slave ports and is consistent with the port roles throughout the system.
2012-01-30	MEM: Clean-up of Functional/Virtual/TranslatingPort remnants	Andreas Hansson
	This patch cleans up forward declarations and a member-function prototype that still referred to the old FunctionalPort, VirtualPort and TranslatingPort. There is no change in functionality.

	Try to decrease indentation, and remove some redundant FullSystem checks.
2012-01-28	O3 CPU LSQ: Implement TSO	Nilay Vaish
	This patch makes O3's LSQ maintain total order between stores. Essentially only the store at the head of the store buffer is allowed to be in flight. Only after that store completes, the next store is issued to the memory system. By default, the x86 architecture will have TSO.

2012-01-12	Fix memory corruption issue with CopyStringOut()	Mitchell Hayenga
	CopyStringOut() improperly indexed setting the null character, would result in zeroing a random byte of memory after(out of bounds) the character array.
2012-01-25	sim: display final value of curTick in stats	Ali Saidi
	Different from sim_ticks in that this value is restored from checkpoints and is never reset. Useful for aligning with framebuffer output ticks

2012-01-23	O3, Ruby: Forward invalidations from Ruby to O3 CPU	Nilay Vaish
	This patch implements the functionality for forwarding invalidations and replacements from the L1 cache of the Ruby memory system to the O3 CPU. The implementation adds a list of ports to RubyPort. Whenever a replacement or an invalidation is performed, the L1 cache forwards this to all the ports, which is the LSQ in case of the O3 CPU.
2012-01-23	MemCmd: Add a command for invalidation requests to LSQ	Nilay Vaish
	This command will be sent from the memory system (Ruby) to the LSQ of an O3 CPU so that the LSQ, if it needs to, invalidates the address in the request packet.
2012-01-17	MEM: Make the bus default port yet another port	Andreas Hansson
	This patch removes the idiosyncratic nature of the default bus port and makes it yet another port in the list of interfaces. Rather than having a specific pointer to the default port we merely track the identifier of this port. This change makes future port diversification easier and overall cleans up the bus code.
2012-01-17	MEM: Removing the default port peer from Python ports	Andreas Hansson
	In preparation for the introduction of Master and Slave ports, this patch removes the default port parameter in the Python port and thus forces the argument list of the Port to contain only the description. The drawback at this point is that the config port and dma port of PCI and DMA devices have to be connected explicitly. This is key for future diversification as the pio and config port are slaves, but the dma port is a master.
2012-01-17	MEM: Make the bus bridge unidirectional and fixed address range	Andreas Hansson
	This patch makes the bus bridge uni-directional and specialises the bus ports to be a master port and a slave port. This greatly simplifies the assumptions on both sides as either port only has to deal with requests or responses. The following patches introduce the notion of master and slave ports, and would not be possible without this split of responsibilities. In making the bridge unidirectional, the address range mechanism of the bridge is also changed. For the cases where communication is taking place both ways, an additional bridge is needed. This causes issues with the existing mechanism, as the busses cannot determine when to stop iterating the address updates from the two bridges. To avoid this issue, and also greatly simplify the specification, the bridge now has a fixed set of address ranges, specified at creation time.
2012-01-17	MEM: Remove the functional ports from the memory system	William Wang
	The functional ports are no longer used and this patch cleans up the legacy that is still present in buses, memories, CPUs etc. Note that this does not refer to the class FunctionalPort (already removed), but rather ports with the name (and use) functional.
2012-01-17	MEM: Separate queries for snooping and address ranges	Andreas Hansson
	This patch simplifies the address-range determination mechanism and also unifies the naming across ports and devices. It further splits the queries for determining if a port is snooping and what address ranges it responds to (aiming towards a separation of cache-maintenance ports and pure memory-mapped ports). Default behaviours are such that most ports do not have to define isSnooping, and master ports need not implement getAddrRanges.
2012-01-17	MEM: Remove Port removeConn and MemObject deletePortRefs	Andreas Hansson
	Cleaning up and simplifying the ports and going towards a more strict elaboration-time creation and binding of the ports.
2012-01-17	MEM: Remove the notion of the default port	Andreas Hansson
	This patch removes the default port and instead relies on the peer being set to NULL initially. The binding check (i.e. is a port connected or not) will eventually be moved to the init function of the modules.
2012-01-17	MEM: Simplify ports by removing EventManager	Andreas Hansson
	This patch removes the inheritance of EventManager from the ports and moves all responsibility for event queues to the owner. Eventually the event manager should be the interface block, which could either be the structural owner or a subblock like a LSQ in the O3 CPU for example.
2012-01-17	CPU: Moving towards a more general port across CPU models	Andreas Hansson
	This patch performs minimal changes to move the instruction and data ports from specialised subclasses to the base CPU (to the largest degree possible). Ultimately it servers to make the CPU(s) have a well-defined interface to the memory sub-system.
