2013-03-18mem: Fix missing delete of packet in DRAM accessAndreas Hansson
This patch fixes a memory leak caused by not deleting packets that require no response.
2013-03-15ruby: set: corrects csprintf() call introduced by 7d95b650c9b6Nilay Vaish
2013-03-12cpu: Fix state transition bug in the traffic generatorAndreas Sandberg
The traffic generator used to incorrectly determine the next state in when state 0 had a non-zero probability. Due to the way the next transition was determined, state 0 could never be entered other than as an initial state. This changeset updates the transitition() method to correctly handle such cases and cases where the transition matrix is a 1x1 matrix.
2013-03-11x86: implement some of the x87 instructionsNilay Vaish
This patch implements ftan, fprem, fyl2x, fld* floating-point instructions.
2013-03-07base: Fix address range granularity calculationsAndreas Hansson
This patch fixes a bug in the address range granularity calculations. Previously it incorrectly used the high bit to establish the size of the regions created, when it should really be looking at the low bit.
2013-03-07ruby: Fix gcc 4.8 maybe-uninitialized compilation errorAndreas Hansson
This patch fixes the one-and-only gcc 4.8 compilation error, being a warning about "maybe uninitialized" in Orion.
2013-03-07x86: Make the table walker reset the packet delayAndreas Hansson
This patch fixes an issue related to the table walker recycling packets that still have a bus delay that is not accounted for. For now, we simply ignore the values and reset them to zero.
2013-03-06ruby: remove the functional copy of memory in se modeNilay Vaish
This patch removes the functional copy of the memory that was maintained in the se mode. Now ruby itself will provide the data.
2013-03-06ruby: garnet: fixed: implement functional accessNilay Vaish
2013-03-04cpu: fix a switching issue with the o3 cpu.Ali Saidi
This change fixes the switcheroo test that broke earlier this month. The code that was checking for the pipeline being blocked wasn't checking for a pending translation, only for a icache access.
2013-03-04ARM: fix some cases where instructions that write to fp reg 15 are ↵Ali Saidi
accidently branches.
2013-03-02ruby: fixes functional writes to RubyRequestBlake Hechtman ext:(%2C%20Nilay%20Vaish%20%3Cnilay%40cs.wisc.edu%3E)
The functional write code was assuming that all writes are block sized, which may not be true for Ruby Requests. This bug can lead to a buffer overflow. Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>
2013-03-02sim: remove duplicate check on stack sizeNilay Vaish
2013-03-01mem: Add check if SimpleDRAM nextReqEvent is scheduledAndreas Hansson
This check covers a case where a retry is called from the SimpleDRAM causing a new request to appear before the DRAM itself schedules a nextReqEvent. By adding this check, the event is not scheduled twice.
2013-03-01mem: Add a method to build multi-channel DRAM configurationsAndreas Hansson
This patch adds a class method that allows easy creation of channel-interleaved multi-channel DRAM configurations. It is enabled by a class method to allow customisation of the class independent of the channel configuration. For example, the user can create a MyDDR subclass of e.g. SimpleDDR3, and then create a four-channel configuration of the subclass by calling MyDDR.makeMultiChannel(4, mem_start, mem_size).
2013-03-01mem: SimpleDRAM variable naming and whitespace fixesAndreas Hansson
This patch fixes a number of small cosmetic issues in the SimpleDRAM module. The most important change is to move the accounting of received packets to after the check is made if the packet should be retried or not. Thus, packets are only counted if they are actually accepted.
2013-03-01mem: Add support for multi-channel DRAM configurationsAndreas Hansson
This patch adds support for multi-channel instances of the DRAM controller model by stripping away the channel bits in the address decoding. The patch relies on the availiability of address interleaving and, at this time, it is up to the user to configure the interleaving appropriately. At the moment it is assumed that the channel interleaving bits are immediately following the column bits (smallest sensible interleaving). Convenience methods for building multi-channel configurations will be added later.
2013-03-01mem: Merge interleaved ranges when creating backing storeAndreas Hansson
This patch adds merging of interleaved ranges before creating the backing stores. The backing stores are always a contigous chunk of the address space, and with this patch it is possible to have interleaved memories in the system.
2013-03-01mem: Merge ranges in bus before passing them onAndreas Hansson
This patch adds basic merging of address ranges to the bus, such that interleaved ranges are merged together before being passed on by the bus. As such, the bus aggregates the address ranges of the connected slave ports and then passes on the merged ranges through its master ports. The bus thus hides the complexity of the interleaved ranges and only exposes contigous ranges to the surrounding system. As part of this patch, the bus ranges are also cached for any future queries.
2013-02-28ruby: mesi coherence protocol: invalidate lockDibakar Gope ext:(%2C%20Nilay%20Vaish%20%3Cnilay%40cs.wisc.edu%3E)
The MESI CMP directory coherence protocol, while transitioning from SM to IM, did not invalidate the lock that it might have taken on a cache line. This patch adds an action for doing so. The problem was found by Dibakar, but I was not happy with his proposed solution. So I implemented a different solution. Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>
2013-02-19slicc: remove unused variable message_buffer_namesNilay Vaish
2013-02-19ruby: remove unused variable m_print_config in class TopologyNilay Vaish
2013-02-19mem: Fix sender state bug and delay poppingAndreas Hansson
This patch fixes a newly introduced bug where the sender state was popped before checking that it should be. Amazingly all regressions pass, but Linux fails to boot on the detailed CPU with caches enabled.
2013-02-19scons: Fix warnings issued by clang 3.2svn (XCode 4.6)Andreas Hansson
This patch fixes the warnings that clang3.2svn emit due to the "-Wall" flag. There is one case of an uninitialised value in the ARM neon ISA description, and then a whole range of unused private fields that are pruned.
2013-02-19scons: Unify the flags shared by gcc and clangAndreas Hansson
This patch restructures and unifies the flags used by gcc and clang as they are largely the same. The common parts are now dealt with in a shared block of code, and the few bits and pieces that are specifically affecting either gcc or clang are done separately.
2013-02-19scons: Add warning delete with non-virtual destructorAndreas Hansson
This patch enables a warning for deleting derived classes that do not have a virtual destructor. The patch merely adds additional checks, and there are currently no cases that had to be fixed.
2013-02-19scons: Add warning for missing declarationsAndreas Hansson
This patch enables warnings for missing declarations. To avoid issues with SWIG-generated code, the warning is only applied to non-SWIG code.
2013-02-19scons: Add warning for overloaded virtual functionsAndreas Hansson
Fix the ISA startup warnings
2013-02-19scons: Add warning for overloaded virtual functionsAndreas Hansson
A derived function with a different signature than a base class function will result in the base class function of the same name being hidden. The parameter list and return type for the member function in the derived class must match those of the member function in the base class, otherwise the function in the derived class will hide the function in the base class and no polymorphic behaviour will occur. This patch addresses these warnings by ensuring a unique function name to avoid (unintentionally) hiding any functions.
2013-02-19scons: Add warning for missing field initializersAndreas Hansson
This patch adds a warning for missing field initializers for both gcc and clang, and addresses the warnings that were generated.
2013-02-19scons: Fix up numerous warnings about name shadowingAndreas Hansson
This patch address the most important name shadowing warnings (as produced when using gcc/clang with -Wshadow). There are many locations where constructor parameters and function parameters shadow local variables, but these are left unchanged.
2013-02-19mem: Enforce strict use of busFirst- and busLastWordTimeAndreas Hansson
This patch adds a check to ensure that the delay incurred by the bus is not simply disregarded, but accounted for by someone. At this point, all the modules do is to zero it out, and no additional time is spent. This highlights where the bus timing is simply dropped instead of being paid for. As a follow up, the locations identified in this patch should add this additional time to the packets in one way or another. For now it simply acts as a sanity check and highlights where the delay is simply ignored. Since no time is added, all regressions remain the same.
2013-02-19mem: Change accessor function names to match the port interfaceAndreas Hansson
This patch changes the names of the cache accessor functions to be in line with those used by the ports. This is done to avoid confusion and get closer to a one-to-one correspondence between the interface of the memory object (the cache in this case) and the port itself. The member function timingAccess has been split into a snoop/non-snoop part to avoid branching on the isResponse() of the packet.
2013-02-19mem: Make packet bus-related time accounting relativeAndreas Hansson
This patch changes the bus-related time accounting done in the packet to be relative. Besides making it easier to align the cache timing to cache clock cycles, it also makes it possible to create a Last-Level Cache (LLC) directly to a memory controller without a bus inbetween. The bus is unique in that it does not ever make the packets wait to reflect the time spent forwarding them. Instead, the cache is currently responsible for making the packets wait. Thus, the bus annotates the packets with the time needed for the first word to appear, and also the last word. The cache then delays the packets in its queues before passing them on. It is worth noting that every object attached to a bus (devices, memories, bridges, etc) should be doing this if we opt for keeping this way of accounting for the bus timing.
2013-02-19mem: Add deferred packet class to prefetcherAndreas Hansson
This patch removes the time field from the packet as it was only used by the preftecher. Similar to the packet queue, the prefetcher now wraps the packet in a deferred packet, which also has a tick representing the absolute time when the packet should be sent.
2013-02-19sim: Make clock private and access using clockPeriod()Andreas Hansson
This patch makes the clock member private to the ClockedObject and forces all children to access it using clockPeriod(). This makes it impossible to inadvertently change the clock, and also makes it easier to transition to a situation where the clock is derived from e.g. a clock domain, or through a multiplier.
2013-02-19x86: Move APIC clock divider to PythonAndreas Hansson
This patch moves the 16x APIC clock divider to the Python code to avoid the post-instantiation modifications to the clock. The x86 APIC was the only object setting the clock after creation time and this required some custom functionality and configuration. With this patch, the clock multiplier is moved to the Python code and the objects are instantiated with the appropriate clock.
2013-02-19mem: Fix SenderState related cache deadlockSascha Bischoff
This patch fixes a potential deadlock in the caches. This deadlock could occur when more than one cache is used in a system, and pkt->senderState is modified in between the two caches. This happened as the caches relied on the senderState remaining unchanged, and used it for instantaneous upstream communication with other caches. This issue has been addressed by iterating over the linked list of senderStates until we are either able to cast to a MSHR* or senderState is NULL. If the cast is successful, we know that the packet has previously passed through another cache, and therefore update the downstreamPending flag accordingly. Otherwise, we do nothing.
2013-02-19mem: Add predecessor to SenderState base classAndreas Hansson
This patch adds a predecessor field to the SenderState base class to make the process of linking them up more uniform, and enable a traversal of the stack without knowing the specific type of the subclasses. There are a number of simplifications done as part of changing the SenderState, particularly in the RubyTest.
2013-02-19base: Fix a bug in the address interleavingAndreas Hansson
This patch fixes a minor (but important) typo in the matching of an address to an interleaved range.
2013-02-19mem: Ensure trace captures packet fields before forwardingAndreas Hansson
This patch fixes a bug in the CommMonitor caused by the packet being modified before it is captured in the trace. By recording the fields before passing the packet on, and then putting these values in the trace we ensure that even if the packet is modified the trace captures what the CommMonitor saw.
2013-02-15loader: add a flattened device tree blob (dtb) objectAnthony Gutierrez
this adds a dtb_object so the loader can load in the dtb file for linux/android ARM kernels.
2013-02-15arm: fix a page table walker issue where a page could be translated multiple ↵Mrinmoy Ghosh
times If multiple memory operations to the same page are miss the TLB they are all inserted into the page table queue and before this change could result in multiple uncessesary walks as well as duplicate enteries being inserted into the TLB.
2013-02-15cpu: Document exec trace flagsAndreas Sandberg
2013-02-15dev: Use the correct return type for disk offsetsAndreas Sandberg
Replace the use of off_t in the various DiskImage related classes with std::streampos. off_t is a signed 32 bit integer on most 32-bit systems, whereas std::streampos is normally a 64 bit integer on most modern systems. Furthermore, std::streampos is the type used by tellg() and seekg() in the standard library, so it should have been used in the first place. This patch makes it possible to use disk images larger than 2 GiB on 32 bit systems with a modern C++ standard library.
2013-02-15cpu: Avoid duplicate entries in tracking structures for writes to misc regsGeoffrey Blake
setMiscReg currently makes a new entry for each write to a misc reg without checking for duplicates, this can cause a triggering of the assert if an instruction get replayed and writes to the same misc regs multiple times. This fix prevents duplicate entries and instead updates the value.
2013-02-15cpu: Fix rename mis-handling serializing instructions when resource constrainedGeoffrey Blake
The rename can mis-handle serializing instructions (i.e. strex) if it gets into a resource constrained situation and the serializing instruction has to be placed on the skid buffer to handle blocking. In this situation the instruction informs the pipeline it is serializing and logs that the next instruction must be serialized, but since we are blocking the pipeline defers this action to place the serializing instruction and incoming instructions into the skid buffer. When resuming from blocking, rename will pull the serializing instruction from the skid buffer and the current logic will see this as the "next" instruction that has to be serialized and because of flags set on the serializing instruction, it passes through the pipeline stage as normal and resets rename to non-serializing. This causes instructions to follow the serializing inst incorrectly and eventually leads to an error in the pipeline. To fix this rename should check first if it has to block before checking for serializing instructions.
2013-02-15ARM: Postpones creation of framebuffer output file until it is actually used.Chris Emmons
This delay prevents a potential conflict with the HDLCD if both are in the same system even if only one is enabled.
2013-02-15mem: Tighten up cache constness and scopingAndreas Hansson
This patch merely adopts a more strict use of const for the cache member functions and variables, and also moves a large portion of the member functions from public to protected.
2013-02-15base: Add warn() and inform() to m5.utils for use from pythonSascha Bischoff
This patch adds two fuctions to m5.util, warn and inform, which mirror those found in the C++ side of gem5. These are added in addition to the already existing m5.util.panic and m5.util.fatal which already mirror the C++ functionality. This ensures that warning and information messages generated by python are in the same format as those generated by C++. Occurrences of print "Warning: %s..." % name have been replaced with warn("%s...", name)
