This patch takes quite a large step in transitioning from the ad-hoc
RefCountingPtr to the c++11 shared_ptr by adopting its use for all
Faults. There are no changes in behaviour, and the code modifications
are mostly just replacing "new" with "make_shared".

This patch transitions the Ruby Message and its derived classes from
the ad-hoc RefCountingPtr to the c++11 shared_ptr. There are no
changes in behaviour, and the code modifications are mainly replacing
"new" with "make_shared".
The cloning of derived messages is slightly changed as they previously
relied on overriding the base-class through covariant return types.

This patch transitions the EthPacketData from the ad-hoc
RefCountingPtr to the c++11 shared_ptr. There are no changes in
behaviour, and the code modifications are mainly replacing "new" with
"make_shared".
The bool casting operator for the shared_ptr is explicit, and we must
therefore either cast it, compare it to NULL (p != nullptr), double
negate it (!!p) or do a (p ? true : false).

This patch takes a first few steps in transitioning from the ad-hoc
RefCountingPtr to the c++11 shared_ptr. There are no changes in
behaviour, and the code modifications are mainly introducing the
use of make_shared.
Note that the class could use unique_ptr rather than shared_ptr, was
it not for the postfix increment and decrement operators.

This patch makes the memory system ISA-agnostic by enabling the Ruby
Sequencer to dynamically determine if it has to do a store check. To
enable this check, the ISA is encoded as an enum, and the system
is able to provide the ISA to the Sequencer at run time.

This patch takes a step towards an ISA-agnostic memory
system by enabling the components to establish the page size after
instantiation. The swap operation in the memory is now also allowing
any granularity to avoid depending on the IntReg of the ISA.

This class implements a subset of the ARM PMU v3 specification as
described in the ARMv8 reference manual. It supports most of the
features of the PMU, however the following features are known to be
missing:
* Event filtering (e.g., from different privilege levels).
* Access controls (the PMU currently ignores the execution level).
* The chain counter (event no. 0x1E) is unimplemented.
The PMU itself does not implement any events, it merely provides an
interface for the configuration scripts to hook up probes that drive
events. Configuration scripts should call addEventProbe() to configure
custom events or high-level methods to configure architected
events. The Python implementation of addEventProbe() automatically
delays event type registration until after instantiation.
In order to support CPU switching and some combined counters (e.g.,
memory references synthesized from loads and stores), the PMU allows
multiple probes per event type. When creating a system that switches
between CPU models that share the same PMU, PMU events for all of the
CPU models can be registered with the PMU.
Kudos to Matt Horsnell for the initial gem5 implementation of the PMU.

In order to show make PMU probe points usable across different PMU
implementations, we want a common probe interface. This patch the
namespace ProbePoins that contains typedefs for probe points that are
shared between multiple SimObjects. It also adds typedefs for the PMU
probe interface.

BitUnion instances can normally not be used with the SERIALIZE_SCALAR
and UNSERIALIZE_SCALAR macros due to the way they are converted
between their storage type and their actual type. This changeset adds
a set of parm(In|Out) functions specifically for gem5 bit unions to
work around the issue.

This patch adds the ability to load in config.ini files generated from
gem5 into another instance of gem5 built without Python configuration
support. The intended use case is for configuring gem5 when it is a
library embedded in another simulation system.
A parallel config file reader is also provided purely in Python to
demonstrate the approach taken and to provided similar functionality
for as-yet-unknown use models. The Python configuration file reader
can read both .ini and .json files.
C++ configuration file reading:
A command line option has been added for scons to enable C++ configuration
file reading: --with-cxx-config
There is an example in util/cxx_config that shows C++ configuration in action.
util/cxx_config/README explains how to build the example.
Configuration is achieved by the object CxxConfigManager. It handles
reading object descriptions from a CxxConfigFileBase object which
wraps a config file reader. The wrapper class CxxIniFile is provided
which wraps an IniFile for reading .ini files. Reading .json files
from C++ would be possible with a similar wrapper and a JSON parser.
After reading object descriptions, CxxConfigManager creates
SimObjectParam-derived objects from the classes in the (generated with this
patch) directory build/ARCH/cxx_config
CxxConfigManager can then build SimObjects from those SimObjectParams (in an
order dictated by the SimObject-value parameters on other objects) and bind
ports of the produced SimObjects.
A minimal set of instantiate-replacing member functions are provided by
CxxConfigManager and few of the member functions of SimObject (such as drain)
are extended onto CxxConfigManager.
Python configuration file reading (configs/example/read_config.py):
A Python version of the reader is also supplied with a similar interface to
CxxConfigFileBase (In Python: ConfigFile) to config file readers.
The Python config file reading will handle both .ini and .json files.
The object construction strategy is slightly different in Python from the C++
reader as you need to avoid objects prematurely becoming the children of other
objects when setting parameters.
Port binding also needs to be strictly in the same port-index order as the
original instantiation.

This patch adds the Undefined Behavior Sanitizer (UBSan) for clang and
gcc >= 4.9. Due to the performance impact, the usage is guarded by a
command-line option.

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
into libgem5 using only C++ which would make embedding gem5 within
other simulation systems easier.
This adds a few registration interfaces to things which cross
between Python and C++. Namely: stats dumping and SimObject resolving

This patch adds some statistics to garnet that record the activity
of certain structures in the on-chip network. These statistics, in a later
patch, will be used for computing the energy consumed by the on-chip network.

Orion is being dropped from ruby. It would be replaced with DSENT
which has better models. Note that the power / energy numbers reported
after this patch has been applied are not for use.

LongModeAddressSize was used by kernel 2.6.28.4 for physical address
validation, if not properly implemented, PCI resource allocation may
failed because of ioremap failed:

477 u32 eax = cpuid_eax(0x80000008);

479 c->x86_virt_bits = (eax >> 8) & 0xff;
480 c->x86_phys_bits = eax & 0xff;

This patch return 0x0000ffff for LongModeAddressSize, which guarantee phys_addr_valid never failed.

This patch takes the final step in integrating DRAMPower and adds the
appropriate calls in the DRAM controller to provide the command trace
and extract the power and energy stats. The debug printouts are still
left in place, but will eventually be removed.
At the moment the DRAM power calculation is always on when using the
DRAM controller model. The run-time impact of this addition is around
1.5% when looking at the total host seconds of the regressions. We
deem this a sensible trade-off to avoid the complication of adding an
enable/disable mechanism.
|
|
This patch adds a class to wrap DRAMPower Library in gem5.
This class initiates an object of class MemorySpecification
of the DRAMPower Library, passes the parameters from DRAMCtrl.py
to this object and creates an object of drampower library using
the memory specification.
|
|
This patch adds missing timing and current parameters to the existing
DRAM configs. These missing timing and current parameters are required
by DRAMPower for the DRAM power calculations. The missing values are
datasheet values of the specified DRAMs, and the appropriate
references are added for the variuos configs.
|
|
This patch prunes the DDR3 config that was initially created to match
the default config of DRAMSim2. The config is not complete as it is,
and to avoid having to maintain it, the easiest way forward is to
simply prune it. Going forward we are adding power number etc to the
other configurations.
|
|
This patch adds the Python parameter type Current, which is used for
the DRAM power modelling (to start with). With this addition we avoid
implicit unit assumptions.

The Ozone CPU is now very much out of date and completely
non-functional, with no one actively working on restoring it. It is a
source of confusion for new users who attempt to use it before
realizing its current state. RIP

This patch adds a number of asserts to the cache, checking basic

This patch changes the packet queue such that when scheduling a send,
the queue is allowed to move the event forward.

Another bunch of issues addressed.

Some additional type checking to avoid future issues.

Some incorrect casting to IntRegIndex, and a few uninitialized members

This patch fixes the runtime errors highlighted by the undefined
behaviour sanitizer. In the end there were two issues. First, when
rotating an immediate, we ended up shifting an uint32_t by 32 in some
cases. This case is fixed by checking for a rotation by 0
positions. Second, the Mrc15 and Mcr15 are operating on an IntReg and
a MiscReg, but we used the type RegRegImmOp and passed a MiscRegIndex
as an IntRegIndex. This issue is resolved by introducing a
MiscRegRegImmOp and RegMiscRegImmOp with the appropriate types.
With these fixes there are no runtime errors identified for the full
ARM regressions.

This patch optimises the passing of StaticInstPtr by avoiding copying
the reference-counting pointer. This avoids first incrementing and
then decrementing the reference-counting pointer.

Fix a number few minor issues to please gcc 4.9.1. Removing the
'-fuse-linker-plugin' flag means no libraries are part of the LTO
process, but hopefully this is an acceptable loss, as the flag causes
issues on a lot of systems (only certain combinations of gcc, ld and
ar work).

Add some missing initialisation, and fix a handful benign resource
leaks (including some false positives).

The call paths for de-scheduling a thread are halt() and suspend(), from
the thread context. There is no call to deallocateContext() in general,
though some CPUs chose to define it. This patch removes the function
from BaseCPU and the cores which do not require it.
