The CoherentXBar currently doesn't check its queued slave ports when
receiving a functional snoop. This caused data corruption in cases
when a modified cache lines is forwarded between two caches.
Add the required functional calls into the queued slave ports.

This changeset adds a serial link model for the Hybrid Memory Cube (HMC).
SerialLink is a simple variation of the Bridge class, with the ability to
account for the latency of packet serialization. Also trySendTiming has been
modified to correctly model bandwidth.

This patch models a simple HMC Controller. It simply schedules the incoming
packets to HMC Serial Links using a round robin mechanism. This patch should
be applied in series with other patches modeling a complete HMC device.

Fix a bug in which the flash device would write out of bounds and
could either trigger a segfault and corrupt the memory of other
objects. This was caused by using pageSize in the place of
pagesPerBlock when running the garbage collector.
Also, added an assert to flag this condition in the future.

This patch fixes the drain logic for the UFSHostDevice and the
FlashDevice. In the case of the FlashDevice, the logic for CheckDrain
needed to be reversed, whilst in the case of the UFSHostDevice check
drain was never being called. In both cases the system would never
complete draining if the initial attampt to drain failed.

The checkpoint changes, along with the SMT patches have changed a
number of APIs. Adapt the ArmKvmCPU accordingly.

This patch addresses the upgrading of deferred targets in the MSHR,
and makes it clearer by explicitly calling out what is happening
(deferred targets are promoted if we get exclusivity without asking
for it).

Allow the monitor to be placed after a snooping port, and do not fail
on snoop retries, but instead pass them on to the slave port.
|

The aim is to ultimately do away with the static function
Network::getNumberOfVirtualNetworks().
|

Not required since functional reads cannot rely on messages that are inflight.

This patch adds explicit overrides as this is now required when using
"-Wall" with clang >= 3.5, the latter now part of the most recent
XCode. The patch consequently removes "virtual" for those methods
where "override" is added. The latter should be enough of an
indication.
As part of this patch, a few minor issues that clang >= 3.5 complains
about are also resolved (unused methods and variables).
|
|
This patch moves away from using M5_ATTR_OVERRIDE and the m5::hashmap
(and similar) abstractions, as these are no longer needed with gcc 4.7
and clang 3.1 as minimum compiler versions.

ARM uses UDelayEvents to emulate kernel __*udelay functions and speed up
simulation. UDelayEvents call Pseudoinst::quiesceNs to quiesce the system for
a specified delay. Changeset 10341:0b4d10f53c2d introduced the requirement
that any quiesce process that is started must also be completed by scheduling
an EndQuiesceEvent. This change causes the CPU to hang if an IsQuiesce
instruction is executed, but the corresponding EndQuiesceEvent is not
scheduled.
Changeset 11058:d0934b57735a introduces a fix for uses of PseudoInst::quiesce*
that would conditionally execute the EndQuiesceEvent. ARM UDelayEvents specify
quiesce period of 0 ns (src/arch/arm/linux/system.cc), so changeset 11058
causes these events to now execute full quiesce processes, greatly increasing
the total instructions executed in kernel delay loops and slowing simulation.
This patch updates the UDelayEvent to conditionally execute
PseudoInst::quiesceNs (**a quiesce operation**) only if the specified
delay is >0 ns. The result is ARM delay loops no longer execute instructions
for quiesce handling, and regression time returns to normal.

The decoder is responsible for splitting instructions in micro
operations (uops). Given that different micro architectures may split
operations differently, this patch allows to specify which micro
architecture each isa implements, so different cores in the system can
split instructions differently, also decoupling uop splitting
(microArch) from ISA (Arch). This is done making the decodification
calls templates that receive a type 'DecoderFlavour' that maps the
name of the operation to the class that implements it. This way there
is only one selection point (converting the command line enum to the
appropriate DecodeFeatures object). In addition, there is no explicit
code replication: template instantiation hides that, and the compiler
should be able to resolve a number of things at compile-time.

Add schedRelBreak() function, executable within a debugger, that sets a
breakpoint by relative rather than absolute tick.
|

Although some decent error messages were getting generated inside
isa_parser.py, they weren't always getting printed because of the
screwy way we were handling exceptions. (Basically an inner
exception would get hidden by an outer exception, and the more
informative inner error message would not get printed.)
Also line numbers were messed up, since they were taken from the
lexer, which is typically a token (or more) ahead of the grammar
rule that's being matched. Using the 'lineno' attribute that
PLY associates with the grammar production is more accurate.
The new LineTracker class extends lineno to track filenames as
well as line numbers.

Really should have been there in the first place, IMO.
Makes debugging x86 execution a lot easier.
|

This information is useful if you have a bunch of simulations running
and want to know which one to kill, but you've neglected to take
advantage of the previous patch and embed the pid in your output path.

These are packed single-precision approximate reciprocal operations,
vector and scalar versions, respectively.
This code was basically developed by copying the code for
sqrtps and sqrtss. The mrcp micro-op was simplified relative to
msqrt since there are no double-precision versions of this operation.

fild loads an integer value into the x87 top of stack register.
fucomi/fucomip compare two x87 register values (the latter
also doing a stack pop).
These instructions are used by some versions of GNU libstdc++.

Adds a GDB callable function that sets a breakpoint at
the beginning of a kernel function.
|
|
The DTRACE() macro tests both Trace::enabled and the specific flag. This
change uses the same administrative interface for enabling/disabling
tracing, but masks the SimpleFlags settings directly. This eliminates a
load for every DTRACE() test, e.g. DPRINTF.

In ARM, certain variables are only updated when a necessary change is
detected. Having 2 SMT threads share a TLB resulted in these not being
updated as required. This patch adds a thread context identifer to
assist in the invalidation of these variables.
|

Changes wakeup functionality so that only specific threads on SMT
capable cpus are woken.
|
|
Adds per-thread interrupt controllers and thread/context logic
so that interrupts properly get routed in SMT systems.
|
|
Changes assignment of the MPIDR for multi-threaded systems only.
|
|
Adds per-thread address monitors to support FullSystem SMT.
|
|
Adds SMT support to the "simple" CPU models so that they can be
used with other SMT-supported CPUs. Example usage: this enables
the TimingSimpleCPU to be used to warmup caches before swapping to
detailed mode with the in-order or out-of-order based CPU models.
|
|
Trying to run an SE system with varying threads per core (SMT cores + Non-SMT
cores) caused failures due to the CPU id assignment logic. The comment
about thread assignment (worrying about core 0 not having tid 0) seems
not to be valid given that our configuration scripts initialize them in
order.
This removes that constraint so a heterogenously threaded sytem can work.

If a cache entry permission was previously set to NotPresent, but the entry was
not deleted, a following cache allocation can cause the entry to be leaked by
setting the entry pointer to a newly allocated entry. To eliminate this
possibility, check if the new entry is different from the old one, and if so,
delete the old one.

IntDevice::recvResponse is called from two places in current mainline: (1) the
short circuit path of X86ISA::IntDevice::IntMasterPort::sendMessage for atomic
mode, and (2) the full request->response path to and from the x86 interrupts
device (finally called from MessageMasterPort::recvTimingResp). In the former
case, the packet was deleted correctly, but in the latter case, the packet and
request leak. To fix the leak, move request and packet deletion into IntDevice
inherited class implementations of recvResponse.
|
|
In RubyPort::ruby_eviction_callback, prior changes fixed a memory leak caused
by instantiating separate packets for each port that the eviction was forwarded
to. That change, however, left the instantiated request to also leak. Allocate
it on the stack to avoid the leak.
|
|
Recent changes to memory access queuing allocate requests for packets sent to
memory controllers, but did not free the requests. Delete them to avoid leaks.
|
|
Changes to the RubyMemoryControl removed the dequeue function, which deleted
MemoryNode instances. This results in leaked MemoryNode instances. Correctly
delete these instances.

The recent changeset to readlink() to handle reading the /proc/self/exe link
introduces a number of problems. This patch fixes two:
1) Because readlink() called on /proc/self/exe now uses LiveProcess::progName()
to find the binary path, it will only get the zeroth parameter of the simulated
system command line. However, if a config script also specifies the process'
executable, the executable parameter is used to create the LiveProcess rather
than the zeroth command line parameter. Thus, the zeroth command line parameter
is not necessarily the correct path to the binary executing in the simulated
system. To fix this, add a LiveProcess data member, 'executable', which is
correctly set during instantiation and returned from progName().
2) If a config script allows a user to pass a relative path as the zeroth
simulated system command line parameter or process executable, readlink() will
incorrecly return a relative path when called on '/proc/self/exe'.
/proc/self/exe is always set to a full path, so running benchmarks can fail if
a relative path is returned. To fix this, clean up the handling of
LiveProcess::progName() within readlink() to get the full binary path.
NOTE: This patch still leaves the potential problem that host full path to the
binary bleeds into the simulated system, potentially causing the appearance of
non-deterministic simulated system execution.

This patch fixes a use-after-delete issue in the packet probe points
by adding a PacketInfo struct to retain the key fields before passing
the packet onwards. We want to probe the packet after it is
successfully sent, but by that time the fields may be modified, and
the packet may even be deleted.
Amazingly enough the issue has gone undetected for months, and only
recently popped up in our regressions.
|
|
More checks to help with understanding of functionality.
|

This patch fixes issues in the interactions between deferred snoops
and WriteLineReq. More specifically, the patch addresses an issue
where deferred snoops caused assertion failures when being serviced on
the arrival of an InvalidateResp. The response packet was perceived to
be invalidating, when actually it is not for the cache that sent out
the original invalidation request.
|
|
Merely fixing up some style issues and adding more comments.
|
|
This patch tidies up how we access the snoop filter for snoops, and
avoids adding items only to later remove them.
|
|
This patch changes the tracking of ports in the snoop filter to use
local dense port IDs so that we can have 64 snooping ports (rather
than crossbar slave ports). This is achieved by adding a simple
remapping vector that translates the actal port IDs into the local
slave IDs used in the SnoopMask.
Ultimately this patch allows us to scale to much larger systems
without introducing a hierarchy of crossbars.
|
|
This patch adds a snoop filter to the L2XBar. For now we refrain from
globally adding a snoop filter to the SystemXBar, since the latter is
also used in systems without caches. In scenarios without caches the
snoop filter will not see any writeback/clean evicts from the CPU
ports, despite the fact that they are snooping. To avoid inadvertent
use of the snoop filter in these cases we leave it out for now.
A size check is added to the snoop filter, merely to ensure it does
not grow beyond the total capacity of the caches above it. The size
has to be set manually, and a value of 8 MByte is choosen as suitably
high default.
|
|
This patch introduces a private member storing the iterator from the
lookupRequest call, such that it can be re-used when the request
eventually finishes. The method previously called updateRequest is
renamed finishRequest to make it more clear that the two functions
must be called together.
|
|
This patch mirrors the logic in timing mode which sends up snoops to
check for cached copies before sending CleanEvicts and Writebacks down
the memory hierarchy. In case there is a copy in a cache above,
discard CleanEvicts and set the BLOCK_CACHED flag in Writebacks so
that writebacks do not reset the cache residency bit in the snoop
filter below.
