2014-11-23mem: Multi Level Page Table bug fixAlexandru Dutu
The multi level page table was giving false positives for already mapped translations. This patch fixes the bogus behavior.
2014-11-23mem: Page Table long linesAlexandru Dutu
Trimmed down all the lines greater than 78 characters.
2014-11-23x86: Segment initialization to support KvmCPU in SEAlexandru Dutu
This patch sets up low and high privilege code and data segments and places them in the following order: cs low, ds low, ds, cs, in the GDT. Additionally, a syscall and page fault handler for KvmCPU in SE mode are defined. The order of the segment selectors in GDT is required in this manner for interrupt handling to work properly. Segment initialization is done for all the thread contexts.
2014-11-23kvm, x86: Adding support for SE mode executionAlexandru Dutu
This patch adds methods in KvmCPU model to handle KVM exits caused by syscall instructions and page faults. These types of exits will be encountered if KvmCPU is run in SE mode.
2014-11-23cpuid, x86: Enabling more features in CPUidAlexandru Dutu
Adding more features in the CPUid with the purpose of supporting running the KvmCPU in SE mode.
2014-11-21x86: pc: Put a stub IO device at port 0xed which the kernel can use for delays.Gabe Black
There was already a stub device at 0x80, the port traditionally used for an IO delay. 0x80 is also the port used for POST codes sent by firmware, and that may have prompted adding this port as a second option.
2014-11-18dev: Use fixed size member variables to describe fixed size PL111 registers.Gabe Black
2014-11-17vnc: Add a conversion function for bgr888.Gabe Black
2014-11-17x86: Fix setting segment bases in real mode.Gabe Black
The data size used for actually writing the base value for the segment was the default size, but really it should set the entire value without any possible truncation.
2014-11-17x86: Fix some bugs in the real mode far jmp instruction.Gabe Black
The far pointer should be shifted right to get the selector value, not left. Also, when calculating the width of the offset, the wrong register was used in one spot.
2014-11-17x86: APIC: Only set deliveryStatus if our IPI is going somewhere.Gabe Black
Otherwise the IPI which isn't sent will never arrive, and the deliveryStatus bit will never be cleared.
2014-11-17x86: APIC: Fix the getRegArrayBit function.Gabe Black
The getRegArrayBit function extracts a bit from a series of registers which are treated as a single large bit array. A previous change had modified the logic which figured out which bit to extract from ">> 5" to "% 5" which seems wrong, especially when other, similar functions were changed to use "% 32".
2014-11-16x86: Fix the CPUID Long Mode Address Size function.Gabe Black
The value in EAX has an 8 bit field for the linear address size and one for the physical address size when calling that function. A recent change implemented it but returned 0xff for both of those fields. That implies that linear and physical addresses are 255 bits wide which is wrong. When using the KVM CPU model this causes an error, presumably because some of those bits are actually reserved, or the CPU or kernel realizes 255 bits is a bad value. This change makes those values 48.
2014-11-14arm: Fixes based on UBSan and static analysisAndreas Hansson
Another churn to clean up undefined behaviour, mostly ARM, but some parts also touching the generic part of the code base. Most of the fixes are simply ensuring that proper intialisation. One of the more subtle changes is the return type of the sign-extension, which is changed to uint64_t. This is to avoid shifting negative values (undefined behaviour) in the ISA code.
2014-11-14mem: Clarify unit of DRAM controller buffer sizeAndreas Hansson
2014-11-12mem: Delete unused variable in Garnet NetworkLinkMitch Hayenga

2014-11-12arm: Fix timing wakeup with LLSCAli Saidi
2014-11-12sim: Sort SimObject descendants and portsAndreas Hansson
This patch fixes a number of occurences where the sorting order of the objects was implementation defined.
2014-11-12base: Revert 9277177eccff and use getenv/setenv for UTC timeAndreas Hansson
This patch reverts changeset 9277177eccff which does not do what it was intended to do. In essence, we go back to implementing mkutctime much like the non-standard timegm extension.
2014-11-06x86 isa: This patch attempts an implementation at mwait.Marc Orr
Mwait works as follows: 1. A cpu monitors an address of interest (monitor instruction) 2. A cpu calls mwait - this loads the cache line into that cpu's cache. 3. The cpu goes to sleep. 4. When another processor requests write permission for the line, it is evicted from the sleeping cpu's cache. This eviction is forwarded to the sleeping cpu, which then wakes up.

2014-11-06cpu: Minor Draining BugAndrew Lukefahr
Fixes a bug where Minor drains in the midst of committing a conditional store. While committing a conditional store, lastCommitWasEndOfMacroop is true (from the previous instruction) as we still haven't finished the conditional store. If a drain occurs before the cache response, Minor would check just lastCommitWasEndOfMacroop, which was true, and set drainState=DrainHaltFetch, which increases the streamSeqNum. This caused the conditional store to be squashed when the memory responded and it completed. However, to the memory the store succeeded, while to the instruction sequence it never occurred. In the case of an LLSC, the instruction sequence will replay the squashed STREX, which will fail as the cache is no longer in LLSC. Then the instruction sequence will loop back to a LDREX, which receives the updated (incorrect) value. Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>
2014-11-06ruby: provide a backing storeNilay Vaish
Ruby's functional accesses are not guaranteed to succeed as of now. While this is not a problem for the protocols that are currently in the mainline repo, it seems that coherence protocols for gpus rely on a backing store to supply the correct data. The aim of this patch is to make this backing store configurable i.e. it comes into play only when a particular option: --access-backing-store is invoked. The backing store has been there since M5 and GEMS were integrated. The only difference is that earlier the system used to maintain the backing store and ruby's copy was write-only. Sometime last year, we moved to data being supplied supplied by ruby in SE mode simulations. And now we have patches on the reviewboard, which remove ruby's copy of memory altogether and rely completely on the system's memory to supply data. This patch adds back a SimpleMemory member to RubySystem. This member is used only if the option: access-backing-store is set to true. By default, the memory would not be accessed.
2014-11-06ruby: interface with classic memory controllerNilay Vaish
This patch is the final in the series. The whole series and this patch in particular were written with the aim of interfacing ruby's directory controller with the memory controller in the classic memory system. This is being done since ruby's memory controller has not being kept up to date with the changes going on in DRAMs. Classic's memory controller is more up to date and supports multiple different types of DRAM. This also brings classic and ruby ever more close. The patch also changes ruby's memory controller to expose the same interface.
2014-11-06ruby: remove the function functionalReadBuffers()Nilay Vaish
This function was added when I had incorrectly arrived at the conclusion that such a function can improve the chances of a functional read succeeding. As was later realized, this is not possible in the current setup. While the code using this function was dropped long back, this function was not. Hence the patch.
2014-11-06ruby: coherence protocols: remove data block from dirctory entryNilay Vaish
This patch removes the data block present in the directory entry structure of each protocol in gem5's mainline. Firstly, this is required for moving towards common set of memory controllers for classic and ruby memory systems. Secondly, the data block was being misused in several places. It was being used for having free access to the physical memory instead of calling on the memory controller. From now on, the directory controller will not have a direct visibility into the physical memory. The Memory Vector object now resides in the Memory Controller class. This also means that some significant changes are being made to the functional accesses in ruby.
2014-11-06ruby: slicc: allow adding a bool to an int, like C++.Nilay Vaish
2014-11-06ruby: remove sparse memory.Nilay Vaish
In my opinion, it creates needless complications in rest of the code. Also, this structure hinders the move towards common set of code for physical memory controllers.
2014-11-06ruby: single physical memory in fs modeNilay Vaish
Both ruby and the system used to maintain memory copies. With the changes carried for programmed io accesses, only one single memory is required for fs simulations. This patch sets the copy of memory that used to reside with the system to null, so that no space is allocated, but address checks can still be carried out. All the memory accesses now source and sink values to the memory maintained by ruby.
2014-11-06ruby: dma sequencer: remove RubyPort as parent classNilay Vaish
As of now DMASequencer inherits from the RubyPort class. But the code in RubyPort class is heavily tailored for the CPU Sequencer. There are parts of the code that are not required at all for the DMA sequencer. Moreover, the next patch uses the dma sequencer for carrying out memory accesses for all the io devices. Hence, it is better to have a leaner dma sequencer.

regressions. This changes the default ARM system to a Versatile Express-like system that supports 2GB of memory and PCI devices and updates the default kernels/file-systems for AArch64 ARM systems (64-bit) to support up to 32GB of memory and PCI devices. Some platforms that are no longer supported have been pruned from the configuration files. In addition a set of 64-bit ARM regressions have been added to the regression system.
2014-10-29cpu: Add writeback modeling for drain functionalityMitch Hayenga
It is possible for the O3 CPU to consider itself drained and later have a squashed instruction perform a writeback. This patch re-adds tracking of in-flight instructions to prevent falsely signaling a drained event.
2014-10-29cpu: Add drain check functionality to IEWMitch Hayenga
IEW did not check the instQueue and memDepUnit to ensure they were drained. This caused issues when drainSanityCheck() did check those structures after asserting IEW was drained.

2014-10-29arm: Mark some miscregs (timer counter) registers at unverifiable.Ali Saidi
The checker can't verify timer registers, so it should just grab the version from the executing CPU, otherwise it could get a larger value and diverge execution.
2014-10-29cpu: Add support to checker for CACHE_BLOCK_ZERO commands.Ali Saidi
The checker didn't know how to properly validate these new commands.
2014-10-29cpu: Fix barrier push to store buffer when full bug in MinorAndrew Bardsley
This patch fixes a bug where a completing load or store which is also a barrier can push a barrier into the store buffer without first checking that there is a free slot. The bug was not fatal but would print a warning that the store buffer was full when inserting.
2014-10-21mem: don't inhibit WriteInv's or defer snoops on their MSHRsCurtis Dunham
WriteInvalidate semantics depend on the unconditional writeback or they won't complete. Also, there's no point in deferring snoops on their MSHRs, as they don't get new data at the end of their life cycle the way other transactions do. Add comment in the cache about a minor inefficiency re: WriteInvalidate.
2014-10-29mem: have WriteInvalidate obsolete MSHRsCurtis Dunham
Since WriteInvalidate directly writes into the cache, it can create tricky timing interleavings with reads and writes to the same cache line that haven't yet completed. This patch ensures that these requests, when completed, don't overwrite the newer data from the WriteInvalidate.
2014-09-02syscall_emul: add retry flag to SyscallReturnSteve Reinhardt
This hook allows blocking emulated system calls to indicate that they would block, but return control to the simulator so that the simulation does not hang. The actual retry functionality requires additional support, to be provided in a future changeset.

2014-10-22syscall_emul: devirtualize BaseBufferArg methodsSteve Reinhardt
Not clear why they were marked virtual to begin with, but that doesn't appear to be necessary.
2014-10-22syscall_emul: Put BufferArg classes in a separate header.Steve Reinhardt
Move the BufferArg classes that support syscall buffer args (i.e., pointers into simulated user space) out of syscall_emul.hh and into a new header syscall_emul_buf.hh so they are accessible to emulated driver implementations. Take the opportunity to add some comments as well.
2014-10-22syscall_emul: add EmulatedDriver objectSteve Reinhardt
Fake SE-mode device drivers can now be added by deriving from this abstract object.
2014-10-22sim: revert 6709bbcf564dNilay Vaish
The identifier SYS_getdents is not available on Mac OS X. Therefore, its use results in compilation failure. It seems there is no straight forward way to implement the system call getdents using readdir() or similar C functions. Hence the commit 6709bbcf564d is being rolled back.
2014-10-20x86: Fixes to avoid LTO warningsAndreas Hansson
This patch fixes a few minor issues that caused link-time warnings when using LTO, mainly for x86. The most important change is how the syscall array is created. Previously gcc and clang would complain that the declaration and definition types did not match. The organisation is now changed to match how it is done for ARM, moving the code that was previously in syscalls.cc into process.cc, and having a class variable pointing to the static array. With these changes, there are no longer any warnings using gcc 4.6.3 with LTO.
2014-10-20misc: Use gmtime for conversion to UTC to avoid getenv/setenvAndreas Hansson
This patch changes how we turn time into UTC. Previously we manipulated the TZ environment variable, but this has issues as the strings that are manipulated could be tainted (see e.g. CERT ENV34-C). Now we simply rely on the built-in gmtime function and avoid touching getenv/setenv all together.

Ensure that we do the proper event scheduling also when the activation limit is disabled.
2014-10-20base: Fix for stats node on gcc < 4.6.3Andreas Hansson
This patch adds an explicit function to get the underlying node as gcc 4.6.1 and 4.6.2 have issues otherwise.
