2017-03-09ruby: fix MOESI_hammer directory to work with > 3GB memoryLena Olson
The MOESI_hammer directory assumes a contiguous address space, but X86 has an IO gap from 3-4GB. This patch allows the directory to work with more than 3GB of memory on X86. Assumptions: the physical address space (range of possible physical addresses) is 0-XGB when X <= 3GB, and 0-(X+1)GB when X > 3GB. If there is no IO gap this patch should still work.

2017-03-07dev: Add support for single-pass scan out in the PixelPumpSudhanshu Jha
Add a helper function to scan out an entire frame in one time step. This requires the public PixelPump to be changed somewhat to separate timing updates from general PixelPump control. Instead of calling PixelPump::start(timings), timings now need to be updated using a separate call to PixelPump::updateTimings(timings) before calling PixelPump::start(). Display controllers that don't need accurate timing (e.g., in KVM mode), can use the new PixelPump::renderFrame() API to render an entire frame in one step. This call results in the same callbacks (e.g., calls to nextPixel()) as the timing calls, but they all happen in immediately. Unlike the timing counterpart, renderFrame() doesn't support buffer underruns and will panic if nextPixle() indicates an underrun.

2017-02-27base: Refactor logging to make log level selection cleanerAndreas Sandberg
It's currently possible to change the log level in gem5 by tweaking a set of global variables. These variables are currently exposed to Python using SWIG. This mechanism is far from ideal for two reasons: First, changing the log level requires that the Python world enables or disables individual levels. Ideally, this should be a single call where a log level is selected. Second, exporting global variables is poorly supported by most Python frameworks. SWIG puts variables in their own namespace and PyBind doesn't seem to support it at all. This changeset refactors the logging code to create a more abstract interface. Each log level is associated with an instance of a Logger class. This class contains common functionality, an enable flag, and a verbose flag. Available LogLevels are described by the LogLevel class. Lower log levels are used for more critical messages (PANIC being level 0) and higher levels for less critical messages. The highest log level that is printed is controlled by calling Logger:setLevel().

2017-02-27python: Add a generalized mechanism to configure statsAndreas Sandberg
Add a mechanism to configure the stat output format using a URL-like syntax. This makes it possible to specify both an output format (currently, only text is supported) and override default parameters. On the Python-side, this is implemented using a helper function (m5.stats.addStatVisitor) that adds a visitor to the list of active stat visitors. The helper function parses a URL-like stat specification to determine the stat output type. Optional parameters can be specified to change how stat visitors behave. For example, to output stats in text format without stat descriptions: m5.stats.addStatVisitor("text://stats.txt?desc=False") From the command line: gem5.opt --stats-file="text://stats.txt?desc=False" Internally, the stat framework uses the _url_factory decorator to wrap a Python function with the fn(path, **kwargs) signature in a function that takes a parsed URL as its only argument. The path and keyword arguments are automatically derived from the URL in the wrapper function. New output formats can be registered in the m5.stats.factories dictionary. This dictionary contains a mapping between format names (URL schemes) and factory methods. To retain backwards compatibility, the code automatically assumes that the user wants text output if no format has been specified (i.e., when specifying a plain path).

2015-07-20syscall_emul: [patch 13/22] add system call retry capabilityBrandon Potter
This changeset adds functionality that allows system calls to retry without affecting thread context state such as the program counter or register values for the associated thread context (when system calls return with a retry fault). This functionality is needed to solve problems with blocking system calls in multi-process or multi-threaded simulations where information is passed between processes/threads. Blocking system calls can cause deadlock because the simulator itself is single threaded. There is only a single thread servicing the event queue which can cause deadlock if the thread hits a blocking system call instruction. To illustrate the problem, consider two processes using the producer/consumer sharing model. The processes can use file descriptors and the read and write calls to pass information to one another. If the consumer calls the blocking read system call before the producer has produced anything, the call will block the event queue (while executing the system call instruction) and deadlock the simulation. The solution implemented in this changeset is to recognize that the system calls will block and then generate a special retry fault. The fault will be sent back up through the function call chain until it is exposed to the cpu model's pipeline where the fault becomes visible. The fault will trigger the cpu model to replay the instruction at a future tick where the call has a chance to succeed without actually going into a blocking state. In subsequent patches, we recognize that a syscall will block by calling a non-blocking poll (from inside the system call implementation) and checking for events. When events show up during the poll, it signifies that the call would not have blocked and the syscall is allowed to proceed (calling an underlying host system call if necessary). If no events are returned from the poll, we generate the fault and try the instruction for the thread context at a distant tick. Note that retrying every tick is not efficient. As an aside, the simulator has some multi-threading support for the event queue, but it is not used by default and needs work. Even if the event queue was completely multi-threaded, meaning that there is a hardware thread on the host servicing a single simulator thread contexts with a 1:1 mapping between them, it's still possible to run into deadlock due to the event queue barriers on quantum boundaries. The solution of replaying at a later tick is the simplest solution and solves the problem generally.

CPU models (e.g., O3CPU) issue instruction fetches for the whole cache block rather than a specific instruction. Consequently the TLB lookups translate the cache block virtual address.

This change fixes the way we instantiate the PrefetchAbort faults to use the PC of the request rather the address of the instruction fetch request.

2016-11-09syscall_emul: [patch 10/22] refactor fdentry and add fdarray classBrandon Potter
Several large changes happen in this patch. The FDEntry class is rewritten so that file descriptors now correspond to types: 'File' which is normal file-backed file with the file open on the host machine, 'Pipe' which is a pipe that has been opened on the host machine, and 'Device' which does not have an open file on the host yet acts as a pseudo device with which to issue ioctls. Other types which might be added in the future are directory entries and sockets (off the top of my head). The FDArray class was create to hold most of the file descriptor handling that was stuffed into the Process class. It uses shared pointers and the std::array type to hold the FDEntries mentioned above. The changes to these two classes needed to be propagated out to the rest of the code so there were quite a few changes for that. Also, comments were added where I thought they were needed to help others and extend our DOxygen coverage.

2016-11-09syscall_emul: [patch 8/22] refactor process classBrandon Potter
Moves aux_vector into its own .hh and .cc files just to get it out of the already crowded Process files. Arguably, it could stay there, but it's probably better just to move it and give it files. The changeset looks ugly around the Process header file, but the goal here is to move methods and members around so that they're not defined randomly throughout the entire header file. I expect this is likely one of the reasons why I several unused variables related to this class. So, the methods are declared first followed by members. I've tried to aggregate them together so that similar entries reside near one another. There are other changes coming to this code so this is by no means the final product.
2016-11-09syscall_emul: [patch 7/22] remove numCpus methodBrandon Potter
The numCpus method is misleading in that it's not really a measure of how many CPUs might be executing a process, but how many thread contexts are assigned to the process at any given point in time. It's nice to highlight this distinction because thread contexts are never reused in the same way that a CPU can be reused for multiple processes. The reason that there is no reuse is that there is no CPU scheduler for SE. The tru64 code intends to use this method and the accompanying contextIDs field to support SMT and track the number of threads with some system calls. With the up coming clone and exec patches, this paradigm must change. There needs to be a 1:1 mapping between the thread contexts and processes so that the process state between threads is allowed to vary when needed by Linux. This should not break SMT for tru64 if the Process class is refactored so that multiple Processes can share state between themselves. The following patches will do the refactoring incrementally as features are added.

2017-02-17sparc: fix bugs caused by cd7f3a1dbf55Brandon Potter
Turns out that SPARC SE mode relied on M5_pid being "0" in all cases. The entries in the SPARC TLBs are accessed with M5_pid as their context. This is buggy in the sense that it will never work with more than one process or any initialization that doesn't have the M5_pid value passed in as "0". cd7f3a1dbf55 broke the SPARC build because it deletes M5_pid and uses a _pid with a default of "100" instead. This caused the SPARC TLB to never return any valid lookups for any request; the program never moved past the first instruction with SPARC SE in the regression tester. The solution proposed in this changeset is to initialize the address space identification register with the PID value that is passed into the process class as a parameter from Python. This should return the correct responses from the TLB since the insertions and lookups into the page table will be using the same PID. Furthermore, there are corner cases in the code which elevate privileges and revert to using context "0" as the context in the TLB. I believe that these are related to kernel level traps and hypervisor privilege escalations, but I'm not completely sure. I've tried to address the corner cases properly, but it would be beneficial to have someone who is familiar with the SPARC architecture to take a look at this fix.
