2016-04-07mem: Remove threadId from memory request classMitch Hayenga
In general, the ThreadID parameter is unnecessary in the memory system as the ContextID is what is used for the purposes of locks/wakeups. Since we allocate sequential ContextIDs for each thread on MT-enabled CPUs, ThreadID is unnecessary as the CPUs can identify the requesting thread through sideband info (SenderState / LSQ entries) or ContextID offset from the base ContextID for a cpu. This is a re-spin of 20264eb after the revert (bd1c6789) and includes some fixes of that commit.
2016-04-05cpu: Implement per-thread GHRsMitch Hayenga
Branch predictors that use GHRs should index them on a per-thread basis. This makes that so. This is a re-spin of fb51231 after the revert (bd1c6789).
2016-04-05cpu: Add an indirect branch target predictorMitch Hayenga
This patch adds a configurable indirect branch predictor that can be indexed by a combination of GHR and path history hashes. Implements the functionality described in: "Target prediction for indirect jumps" by Chang, Hao, and Patt http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=264209 This is a re-spin of fb9d142 after the revert (bd1c6789).
2016-04-05cpu: Fix BTB threading oversightMitch Hayenga
The extant BTB code doesn't hash on the thread id but does check the thread id for 'btb hits'. This results in 1-thread of a multi-threaded workload taking a BTB entry, and all other threads missing for the same branch missing.
2016-04-06misc: Bail out of DVFS dot if we cannot resolve the domainsSascha Bischoff
This changeset updates the dot output to bail out if it is unable to resolve the voltage or clock domains (which will cause it to raise an AttributeError). Additionally, the DVFS dot output is disabled by default for speed purposes. Minor fixup for 0aeca8f.

2016-04-05power: Add support for power modelsDavid Guillen Fandos
This patch adds some basic support for power models in gem5. The power interface is defined so it can interact with thermal models as well. It implements a simple power evaluator that can be used for simple power models that express power in the form of a math expression. These expressions can use stats within the same SimObject (or down its hierarchy) and some magic variables such as "temp" for temperature. In future patches we will extend this functionality to allow slightly more complex expressions. The model allows it to be extended to use other kinds of models. Finally, the thermal model is updated to use the power usage as input.
2014-12-09power: Low-power idle power state for idle CPUsAkash Bagdia
Add functionality to the BaseCPU that will put the entire CPU into a low-power idle state whenever all threads in it are idle.
2014-11-18power: Add power states to ClockedObjectAkash Bagdia
Add 4 power states to the ClockedObject, provides necessary access functions to check and update the power state. Default power state is UNDEFINED, it is responsibility of the respective simulation model to provide the startup state and any other logic for state change. Add number of transition stat. Add distribution of time spent in clock gated state. Add power state residency stat. Add dump call back function to allow stats update of distribution and residency stats.
2015-05-13sim: Thermal support for LinuxDavid Guillen Fandos
This patch enables Linux to read the temperature using hwmon infrastructure. In order to use this in your gem5 you need to compile the kernel using the following configs: CONFIG_HWMON=y CONFIG_SENSORS_VEXPRESS=y And a proper dts file (containing an entry such as): dcc { compatible = "arm,vexpress,config-bus"; arm,vexpress,config-bridge = <&v2m_sysreg>; temp@0 { compatible = "arm,vexpress-temp"; arm,vexpress-sysreg,func = <4 0>; label = "DCC"; }; };
2015-05-12sim: Adding thermal model supportDavid Guillen Fandos
This patch adds basic thermal support to gem5. It models energy dissipation through a circuital equivalent, which allows us to use RC networks. This lays down the basic infrastructure to do so, but it does not "work" due to the lack of power models. For now some hardcoded number is used as a PoC. The solver is embedded in the patch.
2016-04-05cpu: Add instruction opclass histogram to minorMitch Hayenga
2015-12-15misc: Add secondary dot output for DVFS domainsSascha Bischoff
This patch adds a secondary dot output file which shows the DVFS domains. This has been done separately for now to avoid cluttering the already existing diagram. Due to the way that the clock domains are assigned to components in gem5, this output must be generated after the C++ objects have been instantiated. This further motivates the need to generate this file separately to the current dot output, and not to replace it entirely.
2015-12-11sim: Add additional debug information when drainingSascha Bischoff
This patch adds some additional information when draining the system which allows the user to debug which SimObject(s) in the system is failing to drain. Only enabled for the builds with tracing enabled and is subject to the Drain debug flag being set at runtime.
2016-04-01sim: Fix clock_domain unserializationSascha Bischoff
This patch addresses an issue with the unserialization of clock domains. Previously, the previous performance level was not restored due to a bug in the code, which detected the post-unserialize update as superfluous. This patch splits the setting of the clock domain into two parts. The original interface of perfLevel is retained, but the actual update takes place in signalPerfLevelUpdate, which is private to the class. The perfLevel method checks that if the new performance level is different to the previous performance level, and will only call signalPerfLevelUpdate if there is a change. Therefore, the performance level is only updated, and voltage domains notified, if there is an actual change. The split functionality allows signalPerfLevelUpdate to be called by startup() to explicitly force an update post unserialization.
2016-04-05cpu: Query CPU for inst executed from PythonGeoffrey Blake
This patch adds the ability for the simulator to query the number of instructions a CPU has executed so far per hw-thread. This can be used to enable more flexible periodic events such as taking checkpoints starting 1s into simulation and X instructions thereafter.
2016-04-01syscall_emul: remove mmapFlagTableSteve Reinhardt
After all this it turns out we don't even use it.
2016-04-01syscall_emul: factor out flag tables into common fileSteve Reinhardt
The openFlagTable and mmapFlagTables for emulated Linux platforms are basically identical, but are specified repetitively for every platform. Use a common file that gets included for each platform so that we only have one copy, making them more consistent and simplifying changes (like adding #ifdefs). In the process, made some minor fixes that slipped through due to previous inconsistencies, and added more #ifdefs to try to fix building on alternative hosts.

2016-03-30kvm: Add an option to force context sync on kvm entry/exitAndreas Sandberg
This changeset adds an option to force the kvm-based CPUs to always synchronize the gem5 thread context representation on entry/exit into the kernel. This is very useful for debugging. Unfortunately, it is also the only way to get reliable register contents when using remote gdb functionality. The long-term solution for the latter would be to implement a kvm-specific thread context.

2016-03-17base: add symbol support for dynamic librariesBrandon Potter
Libraries are loaded into the process address space using the mmap system call. Conveniently, this happens to be a good time to update the process symbol table with the library's incoming symbols so we handle the table update from within the system call. This works just like an application's normal symbols. The only difference between a dynamic library and a main executable is when the symbol table update occurs. The symbol table update for an executable happens at program load time and is finished before the process ever begins executing. Since dynamic linking happens at runtime, the symbol loading happens after the library is first loaded into the process address space. The library binary is examined at this time for a symbol section and that section is parsed for symbol types with specific bindings (global, local, weak). Subsequently, these symbols are added to the table and are available for use by gem5 for things like trace generation. Checkpointing should work just as it did previously. The address space (and therefore the library) will be recorded and the symbol table will be entirely recorded. (It's not possible to do anything clever like checkpoint a program and then load the program back with different libraries with LD_LIBRARY_PATH, because the library becomes part of the address space after being loaded.)

2016-03-17syscall_emul: move mmapGrowsDown() to LiveProcessSteve Reinhardt
The mmapGrowsDown() method was a static method on the OperatingSystem class (and derived classes), which worked OK for the templated syscall emulation methods, but made it hard to access elsewhere. This patch moves the method to be a virtual function on the LiveProcess method, where it can be overridden for specific platforms (for now, Alpha). This patch also changes the value of mmapGrowsDown() from being false by default and true only on X86Linux32 to being true by default and false only on Alpha, which seems closer to reality (though in reality most people use ASLR and this doesn't really matter anymore). In the process, also got rid of the unused mmap_start field on LiveProcess and OperatingSystem mmapGrowsUp variable.

For O3, which has a stat that counts reg reads, there is an additional reg read per mmap() call since there's an arg we no longer ignore. Otherwise, stats should not be affected.

2016-03-17mem: Adjust cache queue reserve to more conservative valuesAndreas Hansson
The cache queue reserve is there as an overflow to give us enough headroom based on when we block the cache, and how many transactions we may already have accepted before actually blocking. The previous values were probably chosen to be "big enough", when we actually know that we check the MSHRs after every single allocation, and for the write buffers we know that we implicitly may need one entry for every outstanding MSHR. * * * mem: Adjust cache queue reserve to more conservative values The cache queue reserve is there as an overflow to give us enough headroom based on when we block the cache, and how many transactions we may already have accepted before actually blocking.

2016-03-17mem: Create a separate class for the cache write bufferAndreas Hansson
This patch breaks out the cache write buffer into a separate class, without affecting any stats. The goal of the patch is to avoid encumbering the much-simpler write queue with the complex MSHR handling. In a follow on patch this simplification allows us to implement write combining. The WriteQueue gets its own class, but shares a common ancestor, the generic Queue, with the MSHRQueue.

2016-03-13scons: fix building in non-standard locationsSteve Reinhardt
It's apparently not widely known that our scons scripts allow you to put the build directory wherever you want; not only does it not have to be immediately under the root of your repo, it doesn't even have to be underneath the root at all. (For example, sometimes it's useful to build on a local disk if your repo is on a slow NFS mount.) I point this out because this functionality has been broken for close to two years but no one seems to have noticed yet. This patch fixes an assumption that crept in in changeset be0e1724eb39 (May 09 2014) that the build dir would be immediately under the top level of the repo, preventing builds anywhere else.

2015-05-05cpu: Change literal integer constants to meaningful labelsRekai Gonzalez Alberquilla
fu_pool and inst_queue were using -1 for "no such FU" and -2 for "all those FUs are busy at the moment" when requesting for a FU and replying. This patch introduces new constants NoCapableFU and NoFreeFU respectively. In addition, the condition (idx == -2 || idx != -1) is equivalent to (idx != -1), so this patch also simplifies that. --HG-- extra : rebase_source : 4833717b9d1e09d7594d1f34f882e13fc4b86846

2015-11-27kvm: Shutdown KVM and disconnect performance counters on forkAndreas Sandberg
We can't/shouldn't use KVM after a fork since the child and parent probably point to the same VM. Knowing the exact effects of this is hard, but they are likely to be messy. We also disconnect the performance counters attached to the guest. This works around what seems to be a kernel bug where spurious SIGIOs get delivered to the forked child process.
