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.

2016-03-21arm: Refactor the TLB test interfaceAndreas Sandberg
Refactor the TLB and page table walker test interface to use a dynamic registration mechanism. Instead of patching a couple of empty methods to wire up a TLB tester, this change allows such testers to register themselves using the setTestInterface() method.

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.

2016-03-17syscall_emul: extend mmap system call to support file backed mmapsBrandon Potter
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.
2016-03-17syscall_emul: add many Linux kernel flagsBrandon Potter
2016-03-17syscall_emul: rename OpenFlagTransTable structBrandon Potter
The structure definition only had the open system call flag set in mind when it was named, so we rename it here with the intention of using it to define additional tables to translate flags for other system calls in the future.
2016-03-17syscall_emul: add extra debug support for syscallsAlexandru Dutu
Breaks the debug output from system calls into two levels: Base and Verbose. A macro is added specifically for system calls which allows developers to easily add new debug messages in a consistent manner. The macro also contains a field to print thread IDs along with the CPU ID.

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.

2015-06-17sim: Add voltage() function to clocked_objectDavid Guillen Fandos
Adding voltage function which returns the current voltage for a given clocked object. It's handy for power models and similar stuff that need to retrieve voltage. Function frequency() is already there, so I see no reason for not having this one too.
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.

2015-11-26sim: Add support for forkingAndreas Sandberg
This changeset adds forking capabilities to the gem5 python scripts. A fork method is added to simulate.py. This method is responsible for forking the simulator itself, and will direct all output files to a new output directory based on the fork sequence number. The default name of the output directory is the same as the parent with the suffix ".fN" added where N is the fork sequence number. The fork method provides the option to specify if the system should be drained prior to forking, or not. By default the system is drained to ensure that there are no in-flight transactions. When forking the simulator, the fork method returns the PID of the child process, or returns 0 if running in the child. This is in line with the standard Python forking interface.

2015-11-26dev: Add post-fork handling for disk imagesAndreas Sandberg
This changeset adds support for notifying the disk images that the simulator has been forked. We need to disable the saving of the CoW disk image from the child process, and we need to make sure that systems which use a raw disk image are not allowed to fork to avoid two or more gem5 processes writing to the same disk image.

2015-11-26sim: Add support for notifying Drainable objects of a forkAndreas Sandberg

2015-11-27base: Add support for changing output directoriesAndreas Sandberg
This changeset adds support for changing the simulator output directory. This can be useful when the simulation goes through several stages (e.g., a warming phase, a simulation phase, and a verification phase) since it allows the output from each stage to be located in a different directory. Relocation is done by calling core.setOutputDir() from Python or simout.setOutputDirectory() from C++. This change affects several parts of the design of the gem5's output subsystem. First, files returned by an OutputDirectory instance (e.g., simout) are of the type OutputStream instead of a std::ostream. This allows us to do some more book keeping and control re-opening of files when the output directory is changed. Second, new subdirectories are OutputDirectory instances, which should be used to create files in that sub-directory.

2015-08-10mem, cpu: Add assertions to snoop invalidation logicStephan Diestelhorst
This patch adds assertions that enforce that only invalidating snoops will ever reach into the logic that tracks in-order load completion and also invalidation of LL/SC (and MONITOR / MWAIT) monitors. Also adds some comments to MSHR::replaceUpgrades().
2015-07-19cpu: Fix LLSC atomic CPU wakeupKrishnendra Nathella
Writes to locked memory addresses (LLSC) did not wake up the locking CPU. This can lead to deadlocks on multi-core runs. In AtomicSimpleCPU, recvAtomicSnoop was checking if the incoming packet was an invalidation (isInvalidate) and only then handled a locked snoop. But, writes are seen instead of invalidates when running without caches (fast-forward configurations). As as simple fix, now handleLockedSnoop is also called even if the incoming snoop packet are from writes.
2016-02-29arm: Squash after returning from exceptions in v7Mitch Hayenga
Properly done for the ERET instruction in v8, but not for v7. Many control register changes are only visible after explicit instruction synchronization barriers or exception entry/exit. This means mode changing instructions should squash any younger in-flight speculative instructions.

2016-02-24mem: Ensure that InvalidateReq is not forwarded as ReadExReqAndreas Hansson
This patch fixes an issue where an InvalidationReq only traversed one level of the cache hierarchy, and was subsequently turned into a ReadExReq due to it needing writable, and the command not being checked for explicitly.

Bug fix for check on protobuf file frequency being different than global frequency. The ASCII encoder script is also fixed, and the example trace used in the regressions is updated.
2016-02-23dev, arm: Implement the NoMali reset callbackAndreas Sandberg
Add a callback handler for the NoMali reset callback. This callback is called whenever the GPU is reset using the register interface or the NoMali API. The callback can be used to override ID registers using the raw register API.
2016-02-23dev, arm: Refactor the NoMali GPUAndreas Sandberg
Refactor and cleanup the NoMaliGpu class: * Use a std::map instead of a switch block to map the parameter enum describing the GPU type to a NoMali type. * Remove redundant NoMali handle from the interrupt callback. * Make callbacks and API wrappers protected instead of private to enable future extensions. * Wrap remaining NoMali API calls.

Both Memory Fence is now flagged as Global Memory only to avoid resource oversubscribing. Flat instructions now check for Shared Memory resource busy to avoid oversubscribing resources. All WaitClass resources now use cycles (not ticks) to register the number of pipe stages between Scoreboard and Execute to be consistent with instruction scheduling logic which always used clock cycles.

2016-02-14ruby: make DMASequencer inherit from RubyPortMichael LeBeane
This patch essentially rolls back 10518:30e3715c9405 to make RubyPort the parent class of DMASequencer. It removes redundant code and restores some features which were lost when directly inheriting from MemObject. For example, DMASequencer can now communicate to other devices using PIO, which is useful for memmory-mapped communication between multiple DMADevices.
2016-02-13configs: add command-line option to stop debug outputMichael LeBeane
This patch adds a --debug-end flag to main.py so that debug output can be stoped at a specified tick, while allowing the simulation to continue. It is useful in situations where you would like to produce a trace for a region of interest while still collecting stats for the entire run. This is in contrast to the currently existing --debug-break flag, which terminates the simulation at the tick.

2016-02-10mem: Be less conservative in clearing load locks in the cacheAndreas Hansson
Avoid being overly conservative in clearing load locks in the cache, and allow writes to the line if they are from the same context. This is in line with ALPHA and ARM.
2016-02-10mem: Move the point of coherency to the coherent crossbarAndreas Hansson
This patch introduces the ability of making the coherent crossbar the point of coherency. If so, the crossbar does not forward packets where a cache with ownership has already committed to responding, and also does not forward any coherency-related packets that are not intended for a downstream memory controller. Thus, invalidations and upgrades are turned around in the crossbar, and the memory controller only sees normal reads and writes. In addition this patch moves the express snoop promotion of a packet to the crossbar, thus allowing the downstream cache to check the express snoop flag (as it should) for bypassing any blocking, rather than relying on whether a cache is responding or not.
