Most other structures/stages get passed the cpu params struct.

SimObjectVector objects did not provide the same interface to
the _parent attribute through get_parent() like a normal
SimObject. It also handled assigning a _parent incorrectly
if objects in a SimObjectVector were changed post-creation,
leading to errors later when the simulator tried to execute.
This patch fixes these two omissions.

SimLoopExitEvents weren't serialized by default. Some benchmarks
utilize a delayed m5 exit pseudo op call to terminate the simulation
and this event was lost when resuming from a checkpoint generated
after the pseudo op call. This patch adds the capability to serialize
the SimLoopExitEvents and enable serialization for m5_exit and m5_fail
pseudo ops by default. Does not affect other generic
SimLoopExitEvents.

Add a "const" keywords to the getters in the Packet class so these can be
invoked on const Packet objects.

This patch adds a flag in the request class that indicates if the request
was made in privileged mode.
|

Fix a problem in the O3 CPU for instructions that are both
memory loads and memory barriers (e.g. load acquire) and
to uncacheable memory. This combination can confuse the
commit stage into commitng an instruction that hasn't
executed and got it's value yet. At the same time refactor
the code slightly to remove duplication between two of
the cases.

This patch adds missing initializations of the SenderMachine field of
out_msg's when thery are created in the L2 cache controller of the
MOESI_CMP_directory coherence protocol. When an out_msg is created and this
field is left uninitialized, it is set to the default value MachineType_NUM.
This causes a panic in the MachineType_to_string function when gem5 is
executed with the Ruby debug flag on and it tries to print the message.

This patch fixes a problem where in Garnet, the enqueue time in the
VCallocator and the SWallocator which is of type Cycles was being stored
inside a variable with int type.
This lead to a known problem restoring checkpoints with garnet & the fixed
pipeline enabled. That value was really big and didn't fit in the variable
overflowing it, therefore some conditions on the VC allocation stage & the
SW allocation stage were not met and the packets didn't advance through the
network, leading to a deadlock panic right after the checkpoint was restored.

The CoherentBus eventually got virtual methods for its interface. The
"virtuality" of the CoherentBus, however, comes already from the virtual
interface of the bus' ports. There is no need to add another layer of virtual
functions, here.

This patch adds the PortID to the QueuedMasterPort. This allows a PortID to be
specified as it previously was set to the detault value of -1.
|

The underlying assumption that all PPIs must be edge-triggered is
strained when the architected timers and VGIC interfaces make
level-behaviour observable. For example, a virtual timer interrupt
'goes away' when the hypervisor is entered and the vtimer is disabled;
this requires a PPI to be de-activated.
The new method simply clears the interrupt pending state.

The ethernet address param tries to convert a hexadecimal
string using int() in python, which defaults to base 10,
need to specify base 16 in this case.
|
|
SimObjects are expected to only generate one port reference per
port belonging to them. There is a subtle bug with using "not"
here as a VectorPort is seen as not having a reference if it is
either None or empty as per Python docs sec 9.9 for Standard operators.
Intended behavior is to only check if we have not created the reference.

There is an option to enable/disable all framebuffer dumps, but the
last frame always gets dumped in the run folder with no other way to
disable it. These files can add up very quickly running many experiments.
This patch adds an option to disable them. The default behavior
remains unchanged.

IEW DPRINTF uses Decode debug flag, which appears to be a copying error. This
patch changes this to the IEW Debug flag.

LSQSenderState represents the LQ/SQ index using uint8_t, which supports up to
256 entries (including the sentinel entry). Sending packets to memory with a
higher index than 255 truncates the index, such that the response matches the
wrong entry. For instance, this can result in a deadlock if a store completion
does not clear the head entry.

This resulted in a kernel printk that said,
"GIC CPU mask not found - kernel will fail to boot."

This change fixes an issue in the O3 CPU where an uncachable instruction
is attempted to be executed before it reaches the head of the ROB. It is
determined to be uncacheable, and is replayed, but a PanicFault is attached
to the instruction to make sure that it is properly executed before
committing. If the TLB entry it was using is replaced in the interveaning
time, the TLB returns a delayed translation when the load is replayed at
the head of the ROB, however the LSQ code can't differntiate between the
old fault and the new one. If the translation isn't complete it can't
be faulting, so clear the fault.

This patch extends the MemoryAccess debug flag to report who sent the
requests and the cacheability.

This patch changes the ProtoBuf builder such that the generated source
and header is placed in the build directory of the proto file. This
was previously not the case for the directories included as EXTRAS. To
make this work, we also ensure that the build directory for the EXTRAS
are added to the include path (which does not seem to automatically be
the case).

This patch allows setting a few additional interrupts for status
changes that should never occur.

When handling IPR accesses in doMMIOAccess, the KVM CPU used
clockEdge() to convert between cycles and ticks. This is incorrect
since doMMIOAccess is supposed to return a latency in ticks rather
than when the access is done. This changeset fixes this issue by
returning clockPeriod() * ipr_delay instead.

Get rid of non-deterministic "stats" in ruby.stats output
such as time & date of run, elapsed & CPU time used,
and memory usage. These values cause spurious
miscomparisons when looking at output diffs (though
they don't affect regressions, since the regressions
pass/fail status currently ignores ruby.stats entirely).
Most of this information is already captured in other
places (time & date in stdout, elapsed time & mem usage
in stats.txt), where the regression script is smart
enough to filter it out. It seems easier to get rid of
the redundant output rather than teaching the
regression tester to ignore the same information in
two different places.

Convert condition code registers from being specialized
("pseudo") integer registers to using the recently
added CC register class.
Nilay Vaish also contributed to this patch.
|
|
Add a third register class for condition codes,
in parallel with the integer and FP classes.
No ISAs use the CC class at this point though.

Restructured rename map and free list to clean up some
extraneous code and separate out common code that can
be reused across different register classes (int and fp
at this point). Both components now consist of a set
of Simple* objects that are stand-alone rename map &
free list for each class, plus a Unified* object that
presents a unified interface across all register
classes and then redirects accesses to the appropriate
Simple* object as needed.
Moved free list initialization to PhysRegFile to better
isolate knowledge of physical register index mappings
to that class (and remove the need to pass a number
of parameters to the free list constructor).
Causes a small change to these stats:
cpu.rename.int_rename_lookups
cpu.rename.fp_rename_lookups
because they are now categorized on a per-operand basis
rather than a per-instruction basis.
That is, an instruction with mixed fp/int/misc operand
types will have each operand categorized independently,
where previously the lookup was categorized based on
the instruction type.

Make these names more meaningful.
Specifically, made these substitutions:
s/FP_Base_DepTag/FP_Reg_Base/g;
s/Ctrl_Base_DepTag/Misc_Reg_Base/g;
s/Max_DepTag/Max_Reg_Index/g;
|
|
Clean up and add some consistency to the *_Base_DepTag
constants as well as some related register constants:
- Get rid of NumMiscArchRegs, TotalArchRegs, and TotalDataRegs
since they're never used and not always defined
- Set FP_Base_DepTag = NumIntRegs when possible (i.e.,
every case except x86)
- Set Ctrl_Base_DepTag = FP_Base_DepTag + NumFloatRegs
(this was true before, but wasn't always expressed
that way)
- Drastically reduce the number of arbitrary constants
appearing in these calculations
|
|
It had a bunch of fields (and associated constructor
parameters) thet it didn't really use, and the array
initialization was needlessly verbose.
Also just hardwired the getReg() method to aleays
return true for misc regs, rather than having an array
of bits that we always kept marked as ready.
|
|
No need for PhysRegFile to be a template class, or
have a pointer back to the CPU. Also made some methods
for checking the physical register type (int vs. float)
based on the phys reg index, which will come in handy later.
|
|
The previous patch introduced a RegClass enum to clean
up register classification. The inorder model already
had an equivalent enum (RegType) that was used internally.
This patch replaces RegType with RegClass to get rid
of the now-redundant code.
|
|
Move from a poorly documented scheme where the mapping
of unified architectural register indices to register
classes is hardcoded all over to one where there's an
enum for the register classes and a function that
encapsulates the mapping.

ASI_BITS in the Request object were originally used to store a memory
request's ASI on SPARC. This is not the case any more since other ISAs
use the ASI bits to store architecture-dependent information. This
changeset renames the ASI_BITS to ARCH_BITS which better describes
their use. Additionally, the getAsi() accessor is renamed to
getArchFlags().
|
|
Using address bit 63 to identify generic IPRs caused problems on
SPARC, where IPRs are heavily used. This changeset redefines how
generic IPRs are identified. Instead of using bit 63, we now use a
separate flag (GENERIC_IPR) a memory request.

There is a potential race between enabling asynchronous IO and
selecting the target for the SIGIO signal. This changeset move the
F_SETOWN call to before the F_SETFL call that enables SIGIO
delivery. This ensures that signals are always sent to the correct
process.
|
|
This changset adds calls to the service the instruction event queues
that accidentally went missing from commit [0063c7dd18ec]. The
original commit only included the code needed to schedule instruction
stops from KVM and missed the functionality to actually service the
events.
|
|
In order to support m5ops in virtualized environments, we need to use
a memory mapped interface. This changeset adds support for that by
reserving 0xFFFF0000-0xFFFFFFFF and mapping those to the generic IPR
interface for m5ops. The mapping is done in the
X86ISA::TLB::finalizePhysical() which means that it just works for all
of the CPU models, including virtualized ones.
|
|
In order to support m5ops on virtualized CPUs, we need to either
intercept hypercall instructions or provide a memory mapped m5ops
interface. Since KVM does not normally pass the results of hypercalls
to userspace, which makes that method unfeasible. This changeset
introduces support for m5ops using memory mapped mmapped IPRs. This is
implemented by adding a class of "generic" IPRs which are handled by
architecture-independent code. Such IPRs always have bit 63 set and
are handled by handleGenericIprRead() and
handleGenericIprWrite(). Platform specific impementations of
handleIprRead and handleIprWrite should use
GenericISA::isGenericIprAccess to determine if an IPR address should
be handled by the generic code instead of the architecture-specific
code. Platforms that don't need their own IPR support can reuse
GenericISA::handleIprRead() and GenericISA::handleIprWrite().

The x87 FPU supports three floating point formats: 32-bit, 64-bit, and
80-bit floats. The current gem5 implementation supports 32-bit and
64-bit floats, but only works correctly for 64-bit floats. This
changeset fixes the 32-bit float handling by correctly loading and
rounding (using truncation) 32-bit floats instead of simply truncating
the bit pattern.
80-bit floats are loaded by first loading the 80-bits of the float to
two temporary integer registers. A micro-op (cvtint_fp80) then
converts the contents of the two integer registers to the internal FP
representation (double). Similarly, when storing an 80-bit float,
there are two conversion routines (ctvfp80h_int and cvtfp80l_int) that
convert an internal FP register to 80-bit and stores the upper 64-bits
or lower 32-bits to an integer register, which is the written to
memory using normal integer stores.

X87 store instructions typically loads and pops the top value of the
stack and stores it in memory. The current implementation pops the
stack at the same time as the floating point value is loaded to a
temporary register. This will corrupt the state of the x87 stack if
the store fails. This changeset introduces a pop87 micro-instruction
that pops the stack and uses this instruction in the affected
macro-instructions to pop the stack after storing the value to memory.
|
|
Instruction events are currently ignored when executing in KVM. This
changeset adds support for triggering KVM exits based on instruction
counts using hardware performance counters. Depending on the
underlying performance counter implementation, there might be some
inaccuracies due to instructions being counted in the host kernel when
entering/exiting KVM.
Due to limitations/bugs in Linux's performance counter interface, we
can't reliably change the period of an overflow counter. We work
around this issue by detaching and reattaching the counter if we need
to reconfigure it.

This changeset adds support for synchronizing the FPU and SIMD state
of a virtual x86 CPU with gem5. It supports both the XSave API and the
KVM_(GET|SET)_FPU kernel API. The XSave interface can be disabled
using the useXSave parameter (in case of kernel
issues). Unfortunately, KVM_(GET|SET)_FPU interface seems to be buggy
in some kernels (specifically, the MXCSR register isn't always
synchronized), which means that it might not be possible to
synchronize MXCSR on old kernels without the XSave interface.
This changeset depends on the __float80 type in gcc and might not
build using llvm.
|
|
The x87 FPU on x86 supports extended floating point. We currently
handle all floating point on x86 as double and don't support 80-bit
loads/stores. This changeset add a utility function to load and
convert 80-bit floats to doubles (loadFloat80) and another function to
store doubles as 80-bit floats (storeFloat80). Both functions use
libfputils to do the conversion in software. The functions are
currently not used, but are required to handle floating point in KVM
and to properly support all x87 loads/stores.

Add support for extracting the first 6 64-bit integer argumements to a
function call in X86ISA::getArgument().
