This patch fixes an issue where an activation limit of 0 was not
allowed. With this patch, setting the limit to 0 simply disables the
tXAW constraint.

This patch adds a packet queue in SimpleMemory to avoid using the
packet queue in the port (and thus have no involvement in the flow
control). The port queue was bound to 100 packets, and as the
SimpleMemory is modelling both a controller and an actual RAM, it
potentially has a large number of packets in flight. There is
currently no limit on the number of packets in the memory controller,
but this could easily be added in a follow-on patch.
As a result of the added internal storage, the functional access and
draining is updated. Some minor cleaning up and renaming has also been
done.
The memtest regression changes as a result of this patch and the stats
will be updated.

This patch fixes a bug in the O3 fetch stage that was introduced when
the cache line size was moved to the system. By mistake, the
initialisation and resetting of the fetch stage was merged and put in
the constructor. The resetting is now re-added where it should be.

These constructs are not in use and are not being maintained by any one.
In addition, it is not known if doubleTrigger works correctly with Ruby now.
|
|
Some of the code in StateMachine.py file is added to all the controllers and
is independent of the controller definition. This code is being moved to the
AbstractController class which is the parent class of all controllers.

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.

Remove unused virtual getBranchPred() method from BaseCPU as it is not
implemented by any of the CPU models. It used to always return NULL.
|

This patch removes the notion of a peer block size and instead sets
the cache line size on the system level.
Previously the size was set per cache, and communicated through the
interconnect. There were plenty checks to ensure that everyone had the
same size specified, and these checks are now removed. Another benefit
that is not yet harnessed is that the cache line size is now known at
construction time, rather than after the port binding. Hence, the
block size can be locally stored and does not have to be queried every
time it is used.
A follow-on patch updates the configuration scripts accordingly.

This patch aligns the MaxTick in Python with the one in C++. Thus,
both reflect the maximum value that an unsigned 64-bit integer can

Instead of relying on derived classes explicitly assigning
to the BasicPioDevice pioSize field, require them to pass
a size value in to the constructor.

PciDev and IntDev stuck out as the only device classes that
ended in 'Dev' rather than 'Device'. This patch takes care
of that inconsistency.
Note that you may need to delete pre-existing files matching
build/*/python/m5/internal/param_* as scons does not pick up
indirect dependencies on imported python modules when generating
params, and the PciDev -> PciDevice rename takes place in a
file (dev/Device.py) that gets imported quite a bit.

It was confusing having an AmbaDev namespace along with an
AmbaDevice class. The namespace stuff is now moved in to
a new base AmbaDevice class, which is a mixin for classes
AmbaPioDevice (the former AmbaDevice) and AmbaDmaDevice
to provide the readId function as an inherited member function.

A couple of devices that have single fixed memory mapped regions
were not derived from BasicPioDevice, when that's exactly
the functionality that BasicPioDevice provides. This patch
gets rid of a little bit of redundant code by making those
devices actually do so.
Also fixed the weird case of X86ISA::Interrupts, where
the class already did derive from BasicPioDevice but
didn't actually use all the features it could have.

This code seems not to be of any use now. There is no path in the simulator
that allows for reconfiguring the network. A better approach would be to
take a checkpoint and start the simulation from the checkpoint with the new
configuration.

This patch reorganizes the cache tags to allow more flexibility to
implement new replacement policies. The base tags class is now a
clocked object so that derived classes can use a clock if they need
one. Also having deriving from SimObject allows specialized Tag
classes to be swapped in/out in .py files.
The cache set is now templatized to allow it to contain customized
cache blocks with additional informaiton. This involved moving code to
the .hh file and removing cacheset.cc.
The statistics belonging to the cache tags are now including ".tags"
in their name. Hence, the stats need an update to reflect the change
in naming.

This patch removes the redundant cache builder class.

This patch removes the multiplication operator support for Clock
parameters as this functionality is now achieved by creating derived
clock domains.
Nate, this one is for you.
|
|
This patch adds the notion of source- and derived-clock domains to the
ClockedObjects. As such, all clock information is moved to the clock
domain, and the ClockedObjects are grouped into domains.
The clock domains are either source domains, with a specific clock
period, or derived domains that have a parent domain and a divider
(potentially chained). For piece of logic that runs at a derived clock
(a ratio of the clock its parent is running at) the necessary derived
clock domain is created from its corresponding parent clock
domain. For now, the derived clock domain only supports a divider,
thus ensuring a lower speed compared to its parent. Multiplier
functionality implies a PLL logic that has not been modelled yet
(create a separate clock instead).
The clock domains should be used as a mechanism to provide a
controllable clock source that affects clock for every clocked object
lying beneath it. The clock of the domain can (in a future patch) be
controlled by a handler responsible for dynamic frequency scaling of
the respective clock domains.
All the config scripts have been retro-fitted with clock domains. For
the System a default SrcClockDomain is created. For CPUs that run at a
different speed than the system, there is a seperate clock domain
created. This domain incorporates the CPU and the associated
caches. As before, Ruby runs under its own clock domain.
The clock period of all domains are pre-computed, such that no virtual
functions or multiplications are needed when calling
clockPeriod. Instead, the clock period is pre-computed when any
changes occur. For this to be possible, each clock domain tracks its
children.

This patch adds a 'sys_clock' command-line option and use it to assign
clocks to the system during instantiation.
As part of this change, the default clock in the System class is
removed and whenever a system is instantiated a system clock value
must be set. A default value is provided for the command-line option.
The configs and tests are updated accordingly.
|
|
This patch removes the explicit setting of the clock period for
certain instances of CoherentBus, NonCoherentBus and IOCache where the
specified clock is same as the default value of the system clock. As
all the values used are the defaults, there are no performance
changes. There are similar cases where the toL2Bus is set to use the
parent CPU clock which is already the default behaviour.
The main motivation for these simplifications is to ease the
introduction of clock domains.

This patch does a bit of tidying up in the bridge code, adding const
where appropriate and also removing redundant checks and adding a few
new ones.
There are no changes to the behaviour of any regressions.
|
|
This patch fixes the CommMonitor local variable names, and also
introduces a variable to capture if it expects to see a response. The
latter check considers both needsResponse and memInhibitAsserted.

This patch changes the cache timing calculations such that the results
are aligned to clock edges.
Plenty stats change as a results of this patch.
|
|
This patch changes the IEW drain check to include the FU pool as there
can be instructions that are "stored" in FU completion events and thus
not covered by the existing checks. With this patch, we simply include
a check to see if all the FUs are considered non-busy in the next
tick.
Without this patch, the pc-switcheroo-full regression fails after
minor changes to the cache timing (aligning to clock edge).
|
|
This patch fixes an outstanding issue in the cache timing calculations
where an atomic access returned a time in Cycles, but the port
forwarded it on as if it was in Ticks.
A separate patch will update the regression stats.
|
|
This patch fixes a bug in the granularity calculation. For example, if
the high bit is 6 (counting from 0) and we have one interleaving bit,
then the granularity is now 2 ** (6 - 1 + 1) = 64.

This patch changes the updards snoop packet to avoid allocating and
later deleting it. As the code executes in 0 time and the lifetime of
the packet does not extend beyond the block there is no reason to heap
allocate it.

This patch removes an unused member to avoid getting compiler warnings
when using clang.

This patch removes the printing of the SparseHist total in the
stats.txt output file. This has been removed as a sparse histogram has
no total, and therefore this was printing out the value of a
non-local, unrelated variable.

This patch adds separate actions for requests that missed in the local cache
and messages were sent out to get the requested line. These separate actions
are required for differentiating between the hit and miss latencies in the
statistics collected.

|
|
The patch started of with removing the global variables from the profiler for
profiling the miss latency of requests made to the cache. The corrresponding
histograms have been moved to the Sequencer. These are combined together when
the histograms are printed. Separate histograms are now maintained for
tracking latency of all requests together, of hits only and of misses only.
A particular set of histograms used to use the type GenericMachineType defined
in one of the protocol files. This patch removes this type. Now, everything
that relied on this type would use MachineType instead. To do this, SLICC has
been changed so that multiple machine types can be declared by a controller
in its preamble.

This patch removes the following three files: RubySlicc_Profiler.sm,
RubySlicc_Profiler_interface.cc and RubySlicc_Profiler_interface.hh.
Only one function prototyped in the file RubySlicc_Profiler.sm. Rest of the
code appearing in any of these files is not in use. Therefore, these files
are being removed.
That one single function, profileMsgDelay(), is being moved to the protocol
files where it is in use. If we need any of these deleted functions, I think
the right way to make them visible is to have the AbstractController class in
a .sm and let the controller state machine inherit from this class. The
AbstractController class can then have the prototypes of these profiling
functions in its definition.

The m_size variable attempted to track m_prio_heap.size(), but it did so
incorrectly due to the functions reanalyzeMessages and reanalyzeAllMessages().
Since this variable is intended to track m_prio_heap.size(), we can simply
replace instances where m_size is referenced with m_prio_heap.size(), which
has the added bonus of removing the need for m_size.
Note: This patch also removes an extraneous DPRINTF format string designator
from reanalyzeAllMessages()

Previously, .sm files were allowed to use the same name for a type and a
variable. This is unnecessarily confusing and has some bad side effects, like
not being able to declare later variables in the same scope with the same type.
This causes the compiler to complain and die on things like Address Address.
Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>
|
|
Change all occurrances of Address as a variable name to instead use Addr.
Address is an allowed name in slicc even when Address is also being used as a
type, leading to declarations of "Address Address". While this works, it
prevents adding another field of type Address because the compiler then thinks
Address is a variable name, not type.

The current implementation of the x87 never updates the x87 tag
word. This is currently not a big issue since the simulated x87 never
checks for stack overflows, however this becomes an issue when
switching between a virtualized CPU and a simulated CPU. This
changeset adds support, which is enabled by default, for updating the
tag register to every floating point microop that updates the stack
top using the spm mechanism.
The new tag words is generated by the helper function
X86ISA::genX87Tags(). This function is currently limited to flagging a
stack position as valid or invalid and does not try to distinguish
between the valid, zero, and special states.

This changeset actually fixes two issues:
* The lfpimm instruction didn't work correctly when applied to a
floating point constant (it did work for integers containing the
bit string representation of a constant) since it used
reinterpret_cast to convert a double to a uint64_t. This caused a
compilation error, at least, in gcc 4.6.3.
* The instructions loading floating point constants in the x87
processor didn't work correctly since they just stored a truncated
integer instead of a double in the floating point register. This
changeset fixes the old microcode by using lfpimm instruction
instead of the limm instructions.

This patch allows the default x86 state to be used when by CPUs that
use hardware virtualization.

The current implementation of fprem simply does an fmod and doesn't
simulate any of the iterative behavior in a real fprem. This isn't
normally a problem, however, it can lead to problems when switching
between CPU models. If switching from a real CPU in the middle of an
fprem loop to a simulated CPU, the output of the fprem loop becomes
correupted. This changeset changes the fprem implementation to work
like the one on real hardware.

Reuse the address finalization code in the TLB instead of replicating
it when handling MMIO. This patch also adds support for injecting
memory mapped IPR requests into the memory system.

The rflags register is spread across several different registers. Most
of the flags are stored in MISCREG_RFLAGS, but some are stored in
microcode registers. When accessing RFLAGS, we need to reconstruct it
from these registers. This changeset adds two functions,
X86ISA::getRFlags() and X86ISA::setRFlags(), that take care of this
magic.
