2014-07-25mem: Add missig timing and current parameters to DRAM configsOmar Naji
This patch adds missing timing and current parameters to the existing DRAM configs. These missing timing and current parameters are required by DRAMPower for the DRAM power calculations. The missing values are datasheet values of the specified DRAMs, and the appropriate references are added for the variuos configs.
2014-10-09mem: Remove DRAMSim2 DDR3 configurationOmar Naji
This patch prunes the DDR3 config that was initially created to match the default config of DRAMSim2. The config is not complete as it is, and to avoid having to maintain it, the easiest way forward is to simply prune it. Going forward we are adding power number etc to the other configurations.
2014-10-09config: Add Current as a parameter typeAndreas Hansson
This patch adds the Python parameter type Current, which is used for the DRAM power modelling (to start with). With this addition we avoid implicit unit assumptions.
2014-10-09cpu: Remove Ozone CPU from the source treeMitch Hayenga
The Ozone CPU is now very much out of date and completely non-functional, with no one actively working on restoring it. It is a source of confusion for new users who attempt to use it before realizing its current state. RIP
2014-10-09mem: Add packet sanity checks to cache and MSHRsAndreas Hansson
This patch adds a number of asserts to the cache, checking basic assumptions about packets being requests or responses.
2014-10-09mem: Allow packet queue to move next send event forwardAndreas Hansson
This patch changes the packet queue such that when scheduling a send, the queue is allowed to move the event forward.
2014-10-01misc: Fix issues identified by static analysisAndreas Hansson
Another bunch of issues addressed.
2014-10-01arm: Use MiscRegIndex rather than int when flatteningAndreas Hansson
Some additional type checking to avoid future issues.
2014-10-01arm: More UBSan cleanups after additional full-system runsAndreas Hansson
Some incorrect casting to IntRegIndex, and a few uninitialized members in the i8254xGBe device.
2014-09-27arm: Fixed undefined behaviours identified by gccAndreas Hansson
This patch fixes the runtime errors highlighted by the undefined behaviour sanitizer. In the end there were two issues. First, when rotating an immediate, we ended up shifting an uint32_t by 32 in some cases. This case is fixed by checking for a rotation by 0 positions. Second, the Mrc15 and Mcr15 are operating on an IntReg and a MiscReg, but we used the type RegRegImmOp and passed a MiscRegIndex as an IntRegIndex. This issue is resolved by introducing a MiscRegRegImmOp and RegMiscRegImmOp with the appropriate types. With these fixes there are no runtime errors identified for the full ARM regressions.
2014-09-27arch: Use const StaticInstPtr references where possibleAndreas Hansson
This patch optimises the passing of StaticInstPtr by avoiding copying the reference-counting pointer. This avoids first incrementing and then decrementing the reference-counting pointer.
2014-09-27scons: Address issues related to gcc 4.9.1Andreas Hansson
Fix a number few minor issues to please gcc 4.9.1. Removing the '-fuse-linker-plugin' flag means no libraries are part of the LTO process, but hopefully this is an acceptable loss, as the flag causes issues on a lot of systems (only certain combinations of gcc, ld and ar work).
2014-09-27dev: Output invalid access size in IsaFake panicCurtis Dunham
2014-09-27mem: Output precise range when XBar has conflictsCurtis Dunham
2014-09-27mem: Provide better diagnostic for unconnected portCurtis Dunham
When _masterPort is null, a message to that effect is more helpful than a segfault.
2014-09-27misc: Fix a bunch of minor issues identified by static analysisAndreas Hansson
Add some missing initialisation, and fix a handful benign resource leaks (including some false positives).
2014-09-20cpu: Remove unused deallocateContext callsMitch Hayenga
The call paths for de-scheduling a thread are halt() and suspend(), from the thread context. There is no call to deallocateContext() in general, though some CPUs chose to define it. This patch removes the function from BaseCPU and the cores which do not require it.
2014-09-20alpha,arm,mips,power,x86,cpu,sim: Cleanup activate/deactivateMitch Hayenga
activate(), suspend(), and halt() used on thread contexts had an optional delay parameter. However this parameter was often ignored. Also, when used, the delay was seemily arbitrarily set to 0 or 1 cycle (no other delays were ever specified). This patch removes the delay parameter and 'Events' associated with them across all ISAs and cores. Unused activate logic is also removed.
2014-09-20mem: Rename Bus to XBar to better reflect its behaviourAndreas Hansson
This patch changes the name of the Bus classes to XBar to better reflect the actual timing behaviour. The actual instances in the config scripts are not renamed, and remain as e.g. iobus or membus. As part of this renaming, the code has also been clean up slightly, making use of range-based for loops and tidying up some comments. The only changes outside the bus/crossbar code is due to the delay variables in the packet. --HG-- rename : src/mem/Bus.py => src/mem/XBar.py rename : src/mem/coherent_bus.cc => src/mem/coherent_xbar.cc rename : src/mem/coherent_bus.hh => src/mem/coherent_xbar.hh rename : src/mem/noncoherent_bus.cc => src/mem/noncoherent_xbar.cc rename : src/mem/noncoherent_bus.hh => src/mem/noncoherent_xbar.hh rename : src/mem/bus.cc => src/mem/xbar.cc rename : src/mem/bus.hh => src/mem/xbar.hh
2014-04-25mem: Add access statistics for the snoop filterStephan Diestelhorst
Adds a simple access counter for requests and snoops for the snoop filter and also classifies hits based on whether a single other holder existed or whether multiple shares held the line.
2014-09-20mem: Tie in the snoop filter in the coherent busStephan Diestelhorst
2014-04-24mem: Add a simple snoop counter per busStephan Diestelhorst
This patch adds a simple counter for both total messages and a histogram for the fan-out of snoop messages. The fan-out describes to how many ports snoops had to be sent per incoming request / snoop-from-below. Without any cleverness, this usually means to either all, or all but the requesting port.
2014-04-24misc: Add functions for doing popcount and power-of-two checkingStephan Diestelhorst
Adds two public domain algorithms for determining number of set bits and also whether a value is a power of two, uses the builtin that is available in GCC and clang for popcount.
2014-09-20mem: Simple Snoop FilterStephan Diestelhorst
This is a first cut at a simple snoop filter that tracks presence of lines in the caches "above" it. The snoop filter can be applied at any given cache hierarchy and will then handle the caches above it appropriately; there is no need to use this only in the last-level bus. This design currently has some limitations: missing stats, no notion of clean evictions (these will not update the underlying snoop filter, because they are not sent from the evicting cache down), no notion of capacity for the snoop filter and thus no need for invalidations caused by capacity pressure in the snoop filter. These are planned to be added on top with future change sets.
2014-08-12energy: Tighter checking of levels for DFS systemsStephan Diestelhorst
There are cases where users might by accident / intention specify less voltage operating points thatn frequency points. We consider one of these cases special: giving only a single voltage to a voltage domain effectively renders it as a static domain. This patch adds additional logic in the auxiliary parts of the functionality to handle these cases properly (simple driver asking for N>1 operating levels, we should return the same voltage for all of them) and adds error checking code in the voltage domain.
2014-07-25energy: Add the Energy Controller in the right configsStephan Diestelhorst
Tie in the newly created energy controller components in the default configurations.
2014-09-20energy: Memory-mapped Energy Controller componentAkash Bagdia
This patch provides an Energy Controller device that provides software (driver) access to a DVFS handler. The device is currently residing in the dev/arm tree, but there is nothing inherently ARM specific in the behaviour. It is currently only tested and supported for ARM Linux, hence the location.
2014-06-16energy: Small extentions and fixes for DVFS handlerStephan Diestelhorst
These additions allow easier interoperability with and querying from an additional controller which will be in a separate patch. Also adding warnings for changing the enabled state of the handler across checkpoint / resume and deviating from the state in the configuration. Contributed-by: Akash Bagdia <akash.bagdia@arm.com>
2014-09-20mem: Add DDR4 bank group timingWendy Elsasser
Added the following parameter to the DRAMCtrl class: - bank_groups_per_rank This defaults to 1. For the DDR4 case, the default is overridden to indicate bank group architecture, with multiple bank groups per rank. Added the following delays to the DRAMCtrl class: - tCCD_L : CAS-to-CAS, same bank group delay - tRRD_L : RAS-to-RAS, same bank group delay These parameters are only applied when bank group timing is enabled. Bank group timing is currently enabled only for DDR4 memories. For all other memories, these delays will default to '0 ns' In the DRAM controller model, applied the bank group timing to the per bank parameters actAllowedAt and colAllowedAt. The actAllowedAt will be updated based on bank group when an ACT is issued. The colAllowedAt will be updated based on bank group when a RD/WR burst is issued. At the moment no modifications are made to the scheduling.
2014-09-20mem: Add memory rank-to-rank delayWendy Elsasser
Add the following delay to the DRAM controller: - tCS : Different rank bus turnaround delay This will be applied for 1) read-to-read, 2) write-to-write, 3) write-to-read, and 4) read-to-write command sequences, where the new command accesses a different rank than the previous burst. The delay defaults to 2*tCK for each defined memory class. Note that this does not correspond to one particular timing constraint, but is a way of modelling all the associated constraints. The DRAM controller has some minor changes to prioritize commands to the same rank. This prioritization will only occur when the command stream is not switching from a read to write or vice versa (in the case of switching we have a gap in any case). To prioritize commands to the same rank, the model will determine if there are any commands queued (same type) to the same rank as the previous command. This check will ensure that the 'same rank' command will be able to execute without adding bubbles to the command flow, e.g. any ACT delay requirements can be done under the hoods, allowing the burst to issue seamlessly.
2014-09-20cpu: Update DRAM traffic genWendy Elsasser
Add new DRAM_ROTATE mode to traffic generator. This mode will generate DRAM traffic that rotates across banks per rank, command types, and ranks per channel The looping order is illustrated below: for (ranks per channel) for (command types) for (banks per rank) // Generate DRAM Command Series This patch also adds the read percentage as an input argument to the DRAM sweep script. If the simulated read percentage is 0 or 100, the middle for loop does not generate additional commands. This loop is used only when the read percentage is set to 50, in which case the middle loop will toggle between read and write commands. Modified sweep.py script, which generates DRAM traffic. Added input arguments and support for new DRAM_ROTATE mode. The script now has input arguments for: 1) Read percentage 2) Number of ranks 3) Address mapping 4) Traffic generator mode (DRAM or DRAM_ROTATE) The default values are: 100% reads, 1 rank, RoRaBaCoCh address mapping, and DRAM traffic gen mode For the DRAM traffic mode, added multi-rank support.
2014-09-20dev: Add support for 9p proxying over VirtIOAndreas Sandberg
This patch adds support for 9p filesystem proxying over VirtIO. It can currently operate by connecting to a 9p server over a socket (VirtIO9PSocket) or by starting the diod 9p server and connecting over pipe (VirtIO9PDiod). *WARNING*: Checkpoints are currently not supported for systems with 9p proxies!
2014-09-20dev: Add a VirtIO block device modelAndreas Sandberg
2014-09-20dev: Add a VirtIO console device modelAndreas Sandberg
2014-09-20dev, pci: Implement basic VirtIO supportAndreas Sandberg
This patch adds support for VirtIO over the PCI bus. It does so by providing the following new SimObjects: * VirtIODeviceBase - Abstract base class for VirtIO devices. * PciVirtIO - VirtIO PCI transport interface. A VirtIO device is hooked up to the guest system by adding a PciVirtIO device to the PCI bus and connecting it to a VirtIO device using the vio parameter. New VirtIO devices should inherit from VirtIODevice base and implementing one or more VirtQueues. The VirtQueues are usually device-specific and all derive from the VirtQueue class. Queues must be registered with the base class from the constructor since the device assumes that the number of queues stay constant.
2014-09-20dev: Refactor terminal<->UART interface to make it more genericAndreas Sandberg
The terminal currently assumes that the transport to the guest always inherits from the Uart class. This assumption breaks when implementing, for example, a VirtIO consoles. This patch removes this assumption by adding pointer to the from the terminal to the uart and replacing it with a more general callback interface. The Uart, or any other class using the terminal, class implements an instance of the callbacks class and registers it with the terminal.
2014-09-20base: Clean up redundant string functions and use C++11Andreas Hansson
This patch does a bit of housekeeping on the string helper functions and relies on the C++11 standard library where possible. It also does away with our custom string hash as an implementation is already part of the standard library.
2014-09-20base: Add getSectionNames to IniFileAndrew Bardsley
Add an accessor to IniFile to list all the sections in the file.
2014-09-20cpu: Add ExecFlags debug flagMitch Hayenga
Adds a debug flag to print out the flags a instruction is tagged with.
2014-09-20mem: Remove the GHB prefetcher from the source treeMitch Hayenga
There are two primary issues with this code which make it deserving of deletion. 1) GHB is a way to structure a prefetcher, not a definitive type of prefetcher 2) This prefetcher isn't even structured like a GHB prefetcher. It's basically a worse version of the stride prefetcher. It primarily serves to confuse new gem5 users and most functionality is already present in the stride prefetcher.
2014-09-20cpu: use probes infrastructure to do simpoint profilingDam Sunwoo
Instead of having code embedded in cpu model to do simpoint profiling use the probes infrastructure to do it.
2014-09-20config: Cleanup .json config file generationAndrew Bardsley
This patch 'completes' .json config files generation by adding in the SimObject references and String-valued parameters not currently printed. TickParamValues are also changed to print in the same tick-value format as in .ini files. This allows .json files to describe a system as fully as the .ini files currently do. This patch adds a new function config_value (which mirrors ini_str) to each ParamValue and to SimObject. This function can then be explicitly changed to give different .json and .ini printing behaviour rather than being written in terms of ini_str.
2014-09-19arch: Pass faults by const reference where possibleAndreas Hansson
This patch changes how faults are passed between methods in an attempt to copy as few reference-counting pointer instances as possible. This should avoid unecessary copies being created, contributing to the increment/decrement of the reference counters.
2014-09-19cpu: Use a deque in o3 rename instruction queueAndreas Hansson
Switch from a list to a data structure with better data layout.
2014-09-19base: Ensure the CP annotation compiles againAndreas Hansson
A bit of revamping to get the CP annotate functionality to compile.
2014-09-19misc: Use safe_cast when assumptions are made about return valueAndreas Hansson
This patch changes two dynamic_cast to safe_cast as we assume the return value is not NULL (without checking).
2014-09-19misc: Restore ostream flags where neededAndreas Hansson
This patch ensures we adhere to the normal ostream usage rules, and restore the flags after modifying them.
2014-09-19stats: Fix flow-control bug in Vector2D printingAndreas Hansson
2014-09-19misc: Remove assertions ensuring unsigned values >= 0Andreas Hansson
2014-09-19mem: Check return value of checkFunctional in SimpleMemoryAndreas Hansson
Simple fix to ensure we only iterate until we are done.
