The default value for number of virtual networks is being removed. Each protocol
should now specify the value it needs.
|
|
This member indicates whether or not a particular virtual network is in use.
Instead of having a default big value for the number of virtual networks and
then checking whether a virtual network is in use, the next patch removes the
default value and the protocol configuration file would now specify the
number of virtual networks it requires.
Additionally, the patch also refactors some of the code used for computing the
virtual channel next in the round robin order.

Both FuncCallExprAST and MethodCallExprAST had code for checking the arguments
with which a function is being called. The patch does away with this
duplication. Now the code for checking function call arguments resides in the
Func class.

These types are being replaced with uint64_t and int64_t.

The new serialization code (kudos to Tim Jones) moves all of the state
mangling in RubySystem to memWriteback. This makes it possible to use
the new const serialization interface.
This changeset moves the cache recorder cleanup from the checkpoint()
method to drainResume() to make checkpointing truly constant and
updates the checkpointing code to use the new interface.

The sequencer takes care of llsc accesses by calling upon functions
from the CacheMemory. This is unnecessary once the required CacheEntry object
is available. Thus some of the calls to findTagInSet() are avoided.

The O3CPU blocks the Fetch when it sees a quiesce instruction (IsQuiesce flag).
When the inst. is executed, a quiesce event is created to reactivate the
context and unblock the Fetch.
If the quiesceNs or quiesceCycles are called with a value of 0, the
QuiesceEvent will not be created and the Fetch stage will remain blocked.

This patch reverts part of (842f56345a42), as apparently there are
use-cases outside the main repository relying on the late setting of
the physical address.
|
|
This patch simplifies the packet, and removes the possibility of
creating a packet without a valid address and/or size. Under no
circumstances are these fields set at a later point, and thus they
really have to be provided at construction time.
The patch also fixes a case there the MinorCPU creates a packet
without a valid address and size, only to later delete it.

Cleaning up dead code. The CLREX stores zero directly to
MISCREG_LOCKFLAG and so the request flag is no longer needed. The
corresponding functionality in the cache tags is also removed.

Tidying up.

Open up for other subclasses to BaseCache and transition to using the
explicit Cache subclass.

This patch serves to avoid name clashes with the classic cache. For
some reason having two 'SimObject' files with the same name creates
problems.

There is no longer any need to keep the implementation in a header.

A more natural home for this constant.

Drops an unused variable and marks three variables as const.
|
|
The aim is to ultimately do away with the static function
Network::getNumberOfVirtualNetworks().

|

We no longer use the C library based random number generator: random().
Instead we use the C++ library provided rng. So setting the random seed for
the RubySystem class has no effect. Hence the variable and the corresponding
option are being dropped.

Refactored the code in operateVnet(), moved partly to a new function
operateMessageBuffer().

Currently the sequencer calls the function setMRU that updates the replacement
policy structures with the first level caches. While functionally this is
correct, the problem is that this requires calling findTagInSet() which is an
expensive function. This patch removes the calls to setMRU from the sequencer.
All controllers should now update the replacement policy on their own.
The set and the way index for a given cache entry can be found within the
AbstractCacheEntry structure. Use these indicies to update the replacement
policy structures.

Before this patch, while one could declare / define a function with default
argument values, but the actual function call would require one to specify
all the arguments. This patch changes the check for function arguments.
Now a function call needs to specify arguments that are at least as much as
those with default values and at most the total number of arguments taken
as input by the function.

This is in preparation for adding a second arugment to the lookup
function for the CacheMemory class. The change to *.sm files was made using
the following sed command:
sed -i 's/\[\([0-9A-Za-z._()]*\)\]/.lookup(\1)/' src/mem/protocol/*.sm

This patch eliminates the type Address defined by the ruby memory system.
This memory system would now use the type Addr that is in use by the
rest of the system.
|

Avoid clash between type Addr and variable name Addr.

Expose MessageBuffers from SLICC controllers as SimObjects that can be
manipulated in Python. This patch has numerous benefits:
1) First and foremost, it exposes MessageBuffers as SimObjects that can be
manipulated in Python code. This allows parameters to be set and checked in
Python code to avoid obfuscating parameters within protocol files. Further, now
as SimObjects, MessageBuffer parameters are printed to config output files as a
way to track parameters across simulations (e.g. buffer sizes)
2) Cleans up special-case code for responseFromMemory buffers, and aligns their
instantiation and use with mandatoryQueue buffers. These two special buffers
are the only MessageBuffers that are exposed to components outside of SLICC
controllers, and they're both slave ends of these buffers. They should be
exposed outside of SLICC in the same way, and this patch does it.
3) Distinguishes buffer-specific parameters from buffer-to-network parameters.
Specifically, buffer size, randomization, ordering, recycle latency, and ports
are all specific to a MessageBuffer, while the virtual network ID and type are
intrinsics of how the buffer is connected to network ports. The former are
specified in the Python object, while the latter are specified in the
controller *.sm files. Unlike buffer-specific parameters, which may need to
change depending on the simulated system structure, buffer-to-network
parameters can be specified statically for most or all different simulated
systems.

CacheMemory and DirectoryMemory lookup functions return pointers to entries
stored in the memory. Bring PerfectCacheMemory in line with this convention,
and clean up SLICC code generation that was in place solely to handle
references like that which was returned by PerfectCacheMemory::lookup.

The RubyCache (CacheMemory) latency parameter is only used for top-level caches
instantiated for Ruby coherence protocols. However, the top-level cache hit
latency is assessed by the Sequencer as accesses flow through to the cache
hierarchy. Further, protocol state machines should be enforcing these cache hit
latencies, but RubyCaches do not expose their latency to any existng state
machines through the SLICC/C++ interface. Thus, the RubyCache latency parameter
is superfluous for all caches. This is confusing for users.
As a step toward pushing L0/L1 cache hit latency into the top-level cache
controllers, move their latencies out of the RubyCache declarations and over to
their Sequencers. Eventually, these Sequencer parameters should be exposed as
parameters to the top-level cache controllers, which should assess the latency.
NOTE: Assessing these latencies in the cache controllers will require modifying
each to eliminate instantaneous Ruby hit callbacks in transitions that finish
accesses, which is likely a large undertaking.

The Packet::get() and Packet::set() methods both have very strange
semantics. Currently, they automatically convert between the guest
system's endianness and the host system's endianness. This behavior is
usually undesired and unexpected.
This patch introduces three new method pairs to access data:
* getLE() / setLE() - Get data stored as little endian.
* getBE() / setBE() - Get data stored as big endian.
* get(ByteOrder) / set(v, ByteOrder) - Configurable endianness
For example, a little endian device that is receiving a write request
will use teh getLE() method to get the data from the packet.
The old interface will be deprecated once all existing devices have
been ported to the new interface.
