keep track of when an instruction needs the execution
behind it to be serialized. Without this, in SE Mode
instructions can execute behind a system call exit().
|
|
a lot of structures get allocated based off that MaxThreads parameter so this is an
effort to not abuse it
|
|
resources don't need to call getLatency because the latency is already a member
in the class. If there is some type of special case where different instructions
impose a different latency inside a resource then we can revisit this and
add getLatency() back in
|
|
each resource has a certain # of requests it can take per cycle. update the #s here
to be more realistic based off of the pipeline width and if the resource needs to
be accessed on multiple cycles
|
|
cleanup hanging pointers and other cruft in the destructors
|
|
---
need to delete the cache request's data on clearRequest() now that we are recycling
requests
---
fetch unit needs to deallocate the fetch buffer blocks when they are replaced or
squashed.

if a resource has a zero cycle latency (e.g. RegFile write), then dont allocate an event
for it to use
|
|
formerly, to free up bandwidth in a resource, we could just change the pointer in that resource
but at the same time the pipeline stages had visibility to see what happened to a resource request.
Now that we are recycling these requests (to avoid too much dynamic allocation), we can't throw
away the request too early or the pipeline stage gets bad information. Instead, mark when a request
is done with the resource all together and then let the pipeline stage call back to the resource
that it's time to free up the bandwidth for more instructions
*** inteface notes ***
- When an instruction completes and is done in a resource for that cycle, call done()
- When an instruction fails and is done with a resource for that cycle, call done(false)
- When an instruction completes, but isnt finished with a resource, call completed()
- When an instruction fails, but isnt finished with a resource, call completed(false)

take away all instances of reqMap in the code and make all references use the built-in
request vectors inside of each resource. The request map was dynamically allocating
a request per instruction. The request vector just allocates N number of requests
during instantiation and then the surrounding code is fixed up to reuse those N requests
***
setRequest() and clearRequest() are the new accessors needed to define a new
request in a resource
|
|
this will allow us to reuse resource requests within a resource instead
of always dynamically allocating
|
|
we are going to be getting away from creating new resource requests for every
instruction so no more need to keep track of a reqRemoveList and clean it up
every tick
|

first change in an optimization that will stop InOrder from allocating new memory for every instruction's
request to a resource. This gets expensive since every instruction needs to access ~10 requests before
graduation. Instead, the plan is to allocate just enough resource request objects to satisfy each resource's
bandwidth (e.g. the execution unit would need to allocate 3 resource request objects for a 1-issue pipeline
since on any given cycle it could have 2 read requests and 1 write request) and then let the instructions
contend and reuse those allocated requests. The end result is a smaller memory footprint for the InOrder model
and increased simulation performance

remove remnants of old way of instruction scheduling which dynamically allocated
a new resource schedule for every instruction
|
|
allow the pipeline and resources to use the cached instruction schedule and resource
sked iterator
|
|
resource skeds are divided into two parts: front end (all insts) and back end (inst. specific)
each of those are implemented as separate lists, so this iterator wraps around
the traditional list iterator so that an instruction can walk it's schedule but seamlessly
transfer from front end to back end when necessary
|
|
add a stage scheduler class to replace InstStage in pipeline_traits.cc
use that class to define a default front-end, resource schedule that all
instructions will follow. This will also replace the back end schedule in
pipeline_traits.cc. The reason for adding this is so that we can cache
instruction schedules in the future instead of calling the same function
over/over again as well as constantly dynamically alllocating memory on
every instruction to try to figure out it's schedule
|
|
first step in a optimization to not dynamically allocate an instruction schedule
for every instruction but rather used cached schedules
|

inst_buffer file isn't used , so remove it
|

pass/fail ops were used for testing but arent part of isa

When a table walk is initiated by the fetch stage, the CPU can
potentially move to the idle state and never wake up.
The fetch stage must call cpu->wakeCPU() when a translation completes
(in finishTranslation()).
|
|
Uncacheable requests were set as such only in atomic mode.
currState->delayed is checked in place of currState->timing for resetting
currState in atomic mode.

occurs.
This change fixes an issue where a DTLB fault occurs and redirects fetch to
handle the fault and the ITLB requires a walk which delays translation. In this
case the status of the cpu isn't updated appropriately, and an additional
instruction fetch occurs. Eventually this hits an assert as multiple instruction
fetches are occuring in the system and when the second one returns the
processor is in the wrong state.
Some asserts below are removed because it was always true (typo) and the state
after the initiateAcc() the processor could be in any valid state when a
d-side fault occurs.

Some ISAs (like ARM) relies on hardware page table walkers. For those ISAs,
when a TLB miss occurs, initiateTranslation() can return with NoFault but with
the translation unfinished.
Instructions experiencing a delayed translation due to a hardware page table
walk are deferred until the translation completes and kept into the IQ. In
order to keep track of them, the IQ has been augmented with a queue of the
outstanding delayed memory instructions. When their translation completes,
instructions are re-executed (only their initiateAccess() was already
executed; their DTB translation is now skipped). The IEW stage has been
modified to support such a 2-pass execution.

The timer calculations were a bit off so time would run faster than
it otherwise should
|
|
Setup initial timesync event in initState or loadState so that curTick has
been updated to the new value, otherwise the event is scheduled in the past.

The TBE pointer in the MESI CMP implementation was not being set to NULL
when the TBE is deallocated. This resulted in segmentation fault on testing
the protocol when the ProtocolTrace was switched on.
|
|
If cr0.wp ("write protect" bit) is clear then do not generate page faults when
writing to write-protected pages in kernel mode.

During SYSCALL_64, use dataSize=8 when handling new rip (ref
http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/manual/253668.pdf 5.8.8 IA32_LSTAR is a 64-bit
address)

JMP_FAR_I was unpacking its far pointer operand using sll instead of srl like
it should, and also putting the components in the wrong registers for use by
other microcode.

During iret access LDT/GDT at CPL0 rather than after transition to user mode
(if I'm reading the Intel IA-64 architecture spec correctly, the contents of
the descriptor table are read before the CPL is updated).

The code for Orion 2.0 makes use of printf() at several places where there as
an error in configuration of the model. These have been replaced with fatal().

missing header file caused RUBY_FS to not compile

By stalling and waiting the mandatory queue instead of recycling it, one can
ensure that no incoming messages are starved when the mandatory queue puts
signficant of pressure on the L1 cache controller (i.e. the ruby memtester).

Split out dynamic and static power numbers for printing to ruby.stats
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The packet now identifies whether static or dynamic data has been allocated and
is used by Ruby to determine whehter to copy the data pointer into the ruby
request. Subsequently, Ruby can be told not to update phys memory when
receiving packets.

Move page table walker state to its own object type, and make the
walker instantiate state for each outstanding walk. By storing the
states in a queue, the walker is able to handle multiple outstanding
timing requests. Note that functional walks use separate state
elements.
|
|
In sendSplitData, keep a pointer to the senderState that may be updated after
the call to handle*Packet. This way, if the receiver updates the packet
senderState, it can still be accessed in sendSplitData.
