2016-07-21arm, config: Add an example ARM big.LITTLE(tm) configuration scriptGabor Dozsa
An ARM big.LITTLE system consists of two cpu clusters: the big CPUs are typically complex out-of-order cores and the little CPUs are simpler in-order ones. The fs_bigLITTLE.py script can run a full system simulation with various number of big and little cores and cache hierarchy. The commit also includes two example device tree files for booting Linux on the bigLITTLE system.

2016-05-06arm: Update dts to work with the new HDLCD driverAndreas Sandberg
The dts files in system/arm/dt currently assume that an (unreleased) gem5-specific virtual encoder is used as a remote endpoint for the HDLCD. This driver won't be released as a more general virtual encoder is about to be posted on the Linux DRI devel list and this encoder has now been merged with gem5's kernel tree. This changeset updates gem5's dts files to use that encoder.

2016-02-23arm: Ship Linux device trees with gem5Andreas Sandberg
Ship aarch32 and aarch64 device trees with gem5. We currently ship device trees as a part of the gem5 Linux kernel repository. This makes tracking hard since device trees are supposed to be platform dependent rather than kernel dependent (Linux considers device trees to be a stable kernel ABI). It also makes code sharing between aarch32 and aarch64 impossible. This changeset implements a set of device trees for the new VExpress_GEM5_V1 platform. The platform is described in a shared file that is separate from the memory/CPU description. Due to differences in how secondary CPUs are initialized, aarch32 and aarch64 use different base files describing CPU nodes and the machine's compatibility property.
2015-07-15arm: Bootloader fix for v8 over 16 coresKarthik Sangaiah
Previous code used a smaller 4 bit mask to test the MPIDR-EL1 register. The bitmask was extended to support greater than 16 cores.
2014-01-24arm: Add support for ARMv8 (AArch64 & AArch32)ARM gem5 Developers
Note: AArch64 and AArch32 interworking is not supported. If you use an AArch64 kernel you are restricted to AArch64 user-mode binaries. This will be addressed in a later patch. Note: Virtualization is only supported in AArch32 mode. This will also be fixed in a later patch.

2012-09-07ARM: Fix issue with with way MPIDR is read to include affinity levels.Matt Evans
The simple_bootloader checks for CPU0 in a manner incompatible with systems actually using affinity levels -- just looking at MPIDR[7:0]. However, in future we may wish to use real affinity levels and this method will be in danger of matching several CPUs with affinity0 = 0. Match affinity2 == affinity1 == affinity0 == 0 instead.
