2017-05-22python: Prevent Python wrappers from deleting SimObjectsAndreas Sandberg
The PyBind wrappers could potentially delete SimObjects if they don't have any references. This is not desirable since there could be pointers to such objects within the C++ world. This problem doesn't normally occur since Python typically holds a pointer to the root node as long as the simulator is running. Prevent SimObject and Param deletion by using a PyBind-prescribed unique_ptr with a dummy deleter as the pointer wrapper for the Python world.

2017-05-22python: Fix weird memory issue in wrapped AddrRange vectorsAndreas Sandberg
There is a weird issue with the PyBind wrapper of vector<AddrRange>. Assigning new values to a param that is a vector of AddrRange sometimes results in an out-of-bounds memory access. We work around this issue by treating AddrRange vectors as opaque types. This slightly changes the semantics of the wrapper since Python now manipulates the real object rather than a copy that has been converted to a list.

2017-05-15cpu: fix problem with forwarding and locked loadAlec Roelke
If a (regular) store is followed closely enough by a locked load that overlaps, the LSQ will forward the store's data to the locked load and never tell the cache about the locked load. As a result, the cache will not lock the address and all future store-conditional requests on that address will fail. This patch fixes that by preventing forwarding if the memory request is a locked load and adding another case to the LSQ forwarding logic that delays the locked load request if a store in the LSQ contains all or part of the data that is requested.

2017-05-12misc: Make the remote GDB stub more resilient to bad connections.Gabe Black
Currently, if the remote gdb stub fails to read a byte from an incoming packet because the connection has been dropped, the read call will return anyway and the calling code will have no way to know something bad happened. It might reattempt the read over and over again waiting for some particular byte, doomed to never make forward progress. This change modifies the remote GDB code so that if a read or write call fails, it will instead detach from the debugger and continue. Before this change, When simulating a port scan, ie connecting to the debugger port and then immediately dropping the connection using this command: nc -v -n -z -w 1 127.0.0.1 7000 gem5 would enter the previously described death spiral. After it, gem5 detaches from the bad connection and resumes execution. Subsequently attaching with gdb was successful. This code is written in a C centric style, and would benefit from some refactoring.

2017-05-02python: Use PyBind11 instead of SWIG for Python wrappersAndreas Sandberg
Use the PyBind11 wrapping infrastructure instead of SWIG to generate wrappers for functionality that needs to be exported to Python. This has several benefits: * PyBind11 can be redistributed with gem5, which means that we have full control of the version used. This avoid a large number of hard-to-debug SWIG issues we have seen in the past. * PyBind11 doesn't rely on a custom C++ parser, instead it relies on wrappers being explicitly declared in C++. The leads to slightly more boiler-plate code in manually created wrappers, but doesn't doesn't increase the overall code size. A big benefit is that this avoids strange compilation errors when SWIG doesn't understand modern language features. * Unlike SWIG, there is no risk that the wrapper code incorporates incorrect type casts (this has happened on numerous occasions in the past) since these will result in compile-time errors. As a part of this change, the mechanism to define exported methods has been redesigned slightly. New methods can be exported either by declaring them in the SimObject declaration and decorating them with the cxxMethod decorator or by adding an instance of PyBindMethod/PyBindProperty to the cxx_exports class variable. The decorator has the added benefit of making it possible to add a docstring and naming the method's parameters. The new wrappers have the following known issues: * Global events can't be memory managed correctly. This was the case in SWIG as well.

Previously, the stack was incorrectly set up such that the end of the mmap region and the top of the stack were the same address and both would grow downward. With this patch, the top of the stack has been separated from the end of mmap and moved up, and the mmap region now grows upward instead of downward.

2017-04-06power: Add a voltage variable to power expressionsAndreas Sandberg
There is currently no good way of extracting the current operating voltage in MathExprPowerModels. This change adds a magic variable, 'voltage', that can be referenced from such expressions to get the current operating voltage.

2017-04-06power: Add error checking to MathExprPowerModelAndreas Sandberg
MathExprPower model currently doesn't print any useful error messages if an expression fails to evaluate. To add insult to injury, the model only detects a failure when dumping stats and not at initialization. This change adds a verification step in startup() that ensures that all of the referenced stats actually exist.

2017-04-05riscv: fix Linux problems with LR and SC opsAlec Roelke
Some of the functions in the Linux toolchain that allocate memory make use of paired LR and SC instructions, which didn't work properly for that toolchain. This patch fixes that so attempting to use those functions doesn't cause an endless loop of failed SC instructions.

2017-04-05riscv: fix compatibility with Linux toolchainAlec Roelke
Previously, RISC-V in gem5 only supported RISC-V's Newlib toolchain (riscv64-unknown-elf-*) due to incorrect assumptions made in the initial setup of the user stack in SE mode. This patch fixes that by referring to the RISC-V proxy kernel code (https://github.com/riscv/riscv-pk) and setting up the stack according to how it does it. Now binaries compiled using the Linux toolchain (riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu-*) will run as well.

Using GDB compiled with the RISC-V GNU toolchain, it is possible to pause and continue execution, view debugging information, etc. As with the rest of RISC-V, this does not support full-system mode.

2017-04-05riscv: fix error on memory op address overflowAlec Roelke
Previously, if a memory operation referenced an address that caused the data to wrap around to the beginning of the memory (such as -1 or 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF), an assert would fail during address translation and gem5 would crash. This patch fixes that by checking for such a case in RISC-V's TLB code and returning a fault from translateData if that would happen. Because RISC-V does support unaligned memory accesses, no checking is performed to make sure that an access doesn't cross a cache line. [Update creation of page table fault to use make_shared.] [Add comment explaining the change and assertion that the memory request isn't zero size.] Change-Id: I7b8ef9a5838f30184dbdbd0c7c1655e1c04a9410 Reviewed-on: https://gem5-review.googlesource.com/2345 Maintainer: Alec Roelke <ar4jc@virginia.edu> Reviewed-by: Brandon Potter <Brandon.Potter@amd.com> Reviewed-by: Jason Lowe-Power <jason@lowepower.com>
