2017-01-27python: Move native wrappers to the _m5 namespaceAndreas Sandberg
Swig wrappers for native objects currently share the _m5.internal name space with Python code. This is undesirable if we ever want to switch from Swig to some other framework for native binding (e.g., PyBind11 or Boost::Python). This changeset moves all of such wrappers to the _m5 namespace, which is now reserved for native code.

2016-11-30tests: Check for TrafficGen as part of memcheck regressionAndreas Hansson
Since protobuf is still considered optional we do not always have the TrafficGen. Check before running the memcheck regression.
2016-11-17tests, ruby: Move rubytests from ALPHA (linux) to NULL (none)Andreas Hansson
This patch avoids compiling ALPHA six times as part of running 'util/regress', and instead relis on NULL with different protocols to run the rubytest. All we need is the memory system, so there is really no need to compile the ISA over and over again. The one downside is the removal of running 'hello' for the variuos ALPHA and protocol combinations, but if this is a concern we should rather beef up the synthetic tests for the variuos protocols. --HG-- rename : build_opts/NULL => build_opts/NULL_MESI_Two_Level rename : build_opts/NULL => build_opts/NULL_MOESI_CMP_directory rename : build_opts/NULL => build_opts/NULL_MOESI_CMP_token rename : build_opts/NULL => build_opts/NULL_MOESI_hammer rename : tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/alpha/linux/rubytest-ruby-MESI_Two_Level/config.ini => tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/null/none/rubytest-ruby-MESI_Two_Level/config.ini rename : tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/alpha/linux/rubytest-ruby-MESI_Two_Level/simerr => tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/null/none/rubytest-ruby-MESI_Two_Level/simerr rename : tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/alpha/linux/rubytest-ruby-MESI_Two_Level/simout => tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/null/none/rubytest-ruby-MESI_Two_Level/simout rename : tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/alpha/linux/rubytest-ruby-MESI_Two_Level/stats.txt => tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/null/none/rubytest-ruby-MESI_Two_Level/stats.txt rename : tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/alpha/linux/rubytest-ruby-MOESI_CMP_directory/config.ini => tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/null/none/rubytest-ruby-MOESI_CMP_directory/config.ini rename : tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/alpha/linux/rubytest-ruby-MOESI_CMP_directory/simerr => tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/null/none/rubytest-ruby-MOESI_CMP_directory/simerr rename : tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/alpha/linux/rubytest-ruby-MOESI_CMP_directory/simout => tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/null/none/rubytest-ruby-MOESI_CMP_directory/simout rename : tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/alpha/linux/rubytest-ruby-MOESI_CMP_directory/stats.txt => tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/null/none/rubytest-ruby-MOESI_CMP_directory/stats.txt rename : tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/alpha/linux/rubytest-ruby-MOESI_CMP_token/config.ini => tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/null/none/rubytest-ruby-MOESI_CMP_token/config.ini rename : tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/alpha/linux/rubytest-ruby-MOESI_CMP_token/simerr => tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/null/none/rubytest-ruby-MOESI_CMP_token/simerr rename : tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/alpha/linux/rubytest-ruby-MOESI_CMP_token/simout => tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/null/none/rubytest-ruby-MOESI_CMP_token/simout rename : tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/alpha/linux/rubytest-ruby-MOESI_CMP_token/stats.txt => tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/null/none/rubytest-ruby-MOESI_CMP_token/stats.txt rename : tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/alpha/linux/rubytest-ruby-MOESI_hammer/config.ini => tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/null/none/rubytest-ruby-MOESI_hammer/config.ini rename : tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/alpha/linux/rubytest-ruby-MOESI_hammer/simerr => tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/null/none/rubytest-ruby-MOESI_hammer/simerr rename : tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/alpha/linux/rubytest-ruby-MOESI_hammer/simout => tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/null/none/rubytest-ruby-MOESI_hammer/simout rename : tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/alpha/linux/rubytest-ruby-MOESI_hammer/stats.txt => tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/null/none/rubytest-ruby-MOESI_hammer/stats.txt rename : tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/alpha/linux/rubytest-ruby/config.ini => tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/null/none/rubytest-ruby/config.ini rename : tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/alpha/linux/rubytest-ruby/simerr => tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/null/none/rubytest-ruby/simerr rename : tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/alpha/linux/rubytest-ruby/simout => tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/null/none/rubytest-ruby/simout rename : tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/alpha/linux/rubytest-ruby/stats.txt => tests/quick/se/60.rubytest/ref/null/none/rubytest-ruby/stats.txt
2016-10-14config: Make configs/common a Python packageAndreas Hansson
Continue along the same line as the recent patch that made the Ruby-related config scripts Python packages and make also the configs/common directory a package. All affected config scripts are updated (hopefully). Note that this change makes it apparent that the current organisation and naming of the config directory and its subdirectories is rather chaotic. We mix scripts that are directly invoked with scripts that merely contain convenience functions. While it is not addressed in this patch we should follow up with a re-organisation of the config structure, and renaming of some of the packages.
2016-10-13ruby: Fix regressions and make Ruby configs Python packagesAndreas Hansson
This patch moves the addition of network options into the Ruby module to avoid the regressions all having to add it explicitly. Doing this exposes an issue in our current config system though, namely the fact that addtoPath is relative to the Python script being executed. Since both example and regression scripts use the Ruby module we would end up with two different (relative) paths being added. Instead we take a first step at turning the config modules into Python packages, simply by adding a __init__.py in the configs/ruby, configs/topologies and configs/network subdirectories. As a result, we can now add the top-level configs directory to the Python search path, and then use the package names in the various modules. The example scripts are also updated, and the messy path-deducing variations in the scripts are unified.
2016-08-12mem: Add snoop filter to SystemXBar by defaultAndreas Hansson
This patch changes the default behaviour of the SystemXBar, adding a snoop filter. With the recent updates to the snoop filter allocation behaviour this change no longer causes problems for the regressions without caches.

2016-05-27mem, config: Selective use of snoop filterStephan Diestelhorst
Disable the default snoop filter in the SystemXBar so that the typical membus does not have a snoop filter by default. Instead, add the snoop filter only when there are caches added to the system (with the caches / l2cache options). The underlying problem is that the snoop filter grows without bounds (for now) if there are no caches to tell it that lines have been evicted. This causes slow regression runs for all the atomic regressions. This patch fixes this behaviour. --HG-- extra : source : f97c20511828209757440839ed48d741d02d428f

2015-08-04mem: Move trace functionality from the CommMonitor to a probeAndreas Sandberg
This changeset moves the access trace functionality from the CommMonitor into a separate probe. The probe can be hooked up to any component that exports probe points of the type ProbePoints::Packet. This patch moves the dependency on Google's Protocol Buffers library from the CommMonitor to the MemTraceProbe, which means that the CommMonitor (including stack distance profiling) no long depends on it.
2015-08-04mem: Redesign the stack distance calculator as a probeAndreas Sandberg
This changeset removes the stack distance calculator hooks from the CommMonitor class and implements a stack distance calculator as a memory system probe instead. The probe can be hooked up to any component that exports probe points of the type ProbePoints::Packet.
2015-07-30tests: Add Minor to the ARM full switcheroo testsAndreas Sandberg
Add the Minor CPU to the RealView and RealView64 full switcheroo tests.
2015-07-07sim: Decouple draining from the SimObject hierarchyAndreas Sandberg
Draining is currently done by traversing the SimObject graph and calling drain()/drainResume() on the SimObjects. This is not ideal when non-SimObjects (e.g., ports) need draining since this means that SimObjects owning those objects need to be aware of this. This changeset moves the responsibility for finding objects that need draining from SimObjects and the Python-side of the simulator to the DrainManager. The DrainManager now maintains a set of all objects that need draining. To reduce the overhead in classes owning non-SimObjects that need draining, objects inheriting from Drainable now automatically register with the DrainManager. If such an object is destroyed, it is automatically unregistered. This means that drain() and drainResume() should never be called directly on a Drainable object. While implementing the new functionality, the DrainManager has now been made thread safe. In practice, this means that it takes a lock whenever it manipulates the set of Drainable objects since SimObjects in different threads may create Drainable objects dynamically. Similarly, the drain counter is now an atomic_uint, which ensures that it is manipulated correctly when objects signal that they are done draining. A nice side effect of these changes is that it makes the drain state changes stricter, which the simulation scripts can exploit to avoid redundant drains.
2015-07-07tests: Skip SPARC tests if the required binaries are missingAndreas Sandberg
The full-system SPARC tests depend on several binaries that aren't generally available to the wider community. Flag the tests as skipped instead of failed if these binaries can't be found.
2015-07-03mem: Allow read-only caches and check complianceAndreas Hansson
This patch adds a parameter to the BaseCache to enable a read-only cache, for example for the instruction cache, or table-walker cache (not for x86). A number of checks are put in place in the code to ensure a read-only cache does not end up with dirty data. A follow-on patch adds suitable read requests to allow a read-only cache to explicitly ask for clean data.
2015-03-19test, arm: Add scripts to test checkpointsAndreas Sandberg
Add a set of scripts to automatically test checkpointing in the regression framework. The checkpointing tests are similar to the switcheroo tests, but instead of switching between CPUs, they checkpoint the system and restore from the checkpoint again. This is done at regular intervals, typically while booting Linux. The implementation is fairly straight forward, with the exception that we have to work around gem5's inability to restore from a checkpoint after a system has been instantiated. We work around this by forking off child processes that does the actual simulation and never instantiate a system in the parent process unless a maximum checkpoint count is reached (in which case we just simulate the system to completion in the parent). Checkpoint testing is currently only enabled 32- and 64-bit ARM systems using atomic CPUs. Note: An unfortunate side-effect of forking is that every new process will overwrite the stats and terminal output from the previous process. This means that the output directory only contains data from the last checkpoint.
2015-03-02mem: Move crossbar default latencies to subclassesAndreas Hansson
This patch introduces a few subclasses to the CoherentXBar and NoncoherentXBar to distinguish the different uses in the system. We use the crossbar in a wide range of places: interfacing cores to the L2, as a system interconnect, connecting I/O and peripherals, etc. Needless to say, these crossbars have very different performance, and the clock frequency alone is not enough to distinguish these scenarios. Instead of trying to capture every possible case, this patch introduces dedicated subclasses for the three primary use-cases: L2XBar, SystemXBar and IOXbar. More can be added if needed, and the defaults can be overridden.
2015-02-11cpu: Tidy up the MemTest and make false sharing more obviousAndreas Hansson
The MemTest class really only tests false sharing, and as such there was a lot of old cruft that could be removed. This patch cleans up the tester, and also makes it more clear what the assumptions are. As part of this simplification the reference functional memory is also removed. The regression configs using MemTest are updated to reflect the changes, and the stats will be bumped in a separate patch. The example config will be updated in a separate patch due to more extensive re-work. In a follow-on patch a new tester will be introduced that uses the MemChecker to implement true sharing.
2015-01-20tests: Remove deprecated InOrderCPU testsAndreas Hansson
This patch removes the three MIPS and SPARC regressions that use the deprecated InOrderCPU. This is the first step in completely removing the code from the tree, avoiding confusion, and focusing all development efforts on the MinorCPU. Brave new world.
2014-12-23tests: Add a regression for the stack distance calculatorAndreas Hansson
Re-use the existing traffic generator regression, and enable the stack distance calculation in the comm monitor, along with the verification stack. The traffic generator config is also tuned to not increase the run-time too much (and actually have some address re-use).
2014-11-06ruby: interface with classic memory controllerNilay Vaish
This patch is the final in the series. The whole series and this patch in particular were written with the aim of interfacing ruby's directory controller with the memory controller in the classic memory system. This is being done since ruby's memory controller has not being kept up to date with the changes going on in DRAMs. Classic's memory controller is more up to date and supports multiple different types of DRAM. This also brings classic and ruby ever more close. The patch also changes ruby's memory controller to expose the same interface.
2014-11-06ruby: single physical memory in fs modeNilay Vaish
Both ruby and the system used to maintain memory copies. With the changes carried for programmed io accesses, only one single memory is required for fs simulations. This patch sets the copy of memory that used to reside with the system to null, so that no space is allocated, but address checks can still be carried out. All the memory accesses now source and sink values to the memory maintained by ruby.

This changes the default ARM system to a Versatile Express-like system that supports 2GB of memory and PCI devices and updates the default kernels/file-systems for AArch64 ARM systems (64-bit) to support up to 32GB of memory and PCI devices. Some platforms that are no longer supported have been pruned from the configuration files. In addition a set of 64-bit ARM regressions have been added to the regression system.
2014-09-20tests: Use more representative configs for ARM testsAndreas Hansson
This patch changes the CPU and cache configurations used in the ARM SE and FS regressions to make them more representative, and also get better code coverage by exercising different replacement policies and use an L2 prefetcher.
2014-09-20mem: Rename Bus to XBar to better reflect its behaviourAndreas Hansson
This patch changes the name of the Bus classes to XBar to better reflect the actual timing behaviour. The actual instances in the config scripts are not renamed, and remain as e.g. iobus or membus. As part of this renaming, the code has also been clean up slightly, making use of range-based for loops and tidying up some comments. The only changes outside the bus/crossbar code is due to the delay variables in the packet. --HG-- rename : src/mem/Bus.py => src/mem/XBar.py rename : src/mem/coherent_bus.cc => src/mem/coherent_xbar.cc rename : src/mem/coherent_bus.hh => src/mem/coherent_xbar.hh rename : src/mem/noncoherent_bus.cc => src/mem/noncoherent_xbar.cc rename : src/mem/noncoherent_bus.hh => src/mem/noncoherent_xbar.hh rename : src/mem/bus.cc => src/mem/xbar.cc rename : src/mem/bus.hh => src/mem/xbar.hh

2014-05-09mem: Auto-generate CommMonitor trace file namesSascha Bischoff
Splits the CommMonitor trace_file parameter into three parameters. Previously, the trace was only enabled if the trace_file parameter was set, and would be written to this file. This patch adds in a trace_enable and trace_compress parameter to the CommMonitor. No trace is generated if trace_enable is set to False. If it is set to True, the trace is written to a file based on the name of the SimObject in the simulation hierarchy. For example, system.cluster.il1_commmonitor.trc. This filename can be overridden by additionally specifying a file name to the trace_file parameter (more on this later). The trace_compress parameter will append .gz to any filename if set to True. This enables compression of the generated traces. If the file name already ends in .gz, then no changes are made. The trace_file parameter will override the name set by the trace_enable parameter. In the case that the specified name does not end in .gz but trace_compress is set to true, .gz is appended to the supplied file name.
2014-03-20config: ruby: rename _cpu_ruby_ports to _cpu_portsNilay Vaish
2014-03-20config: remove ruby_fs.pyNilay Vaish
The patch removes the ruby_fs.py file. The functionality is being moved to fs.py. This would being ruby fs simulations in line with how ruby se simulations are started (using --ruby option). The alpha fs config functions are being combined for classing and ruby memory systems. This required renaming the piobus in ruby to iobus. So, we will have stats being renamed in the stats file for ruby fs regression.
2014-03-20ruby: no piobus in se modeNilay Vaish
Piobus was recently added to se scripts for ruby so that the interrupt controller can be connected to something (required since the interrupt controller sends address range messages). This patch removes the piobus and instead, the pio port of ruby port will now ignore the range change messages in se mode.
2014-02-24ruby: correct errors in changeset 4eec7bdde5b0Nilay Vaish
Couple of errors were discovered in 4eec7bdde5b0 which necessitated this patch. Firstly, we create interrupt controllers in the se mode, but no piobus was being created. RubyPort, which earlier used to ignore range changes now forwards those to the piobus. The lack of piobus resulted in segmentation fault. This patch creates a piobus even in se mode. It is not created only when some tester is running. Secondly, I had missed out on modifying port connections for other coherence protocols.
2014-02-23ruby: route all packets through ruby portNilay Vaish
Currently, the interrupt controller in x86 is connected to the io bus directly. Therefore the packets between the io devices and the interrupt controller do not go through ruby. This patch changes ruby port so that these packets arrive at the ruby port first, which then routes them to their destination. Note that the patch does not make these packets go through the ruby network. That would happen in a subsequent patch.
2014-01-03config, x86: move kernel specification from tests to FSConfig.pySteve Reinhardt
For some reason, the default x86 kernel is specified in tests/configs/x86_generic.py and not in configs/common/FSConfig.py, where the kernels for all the other ISAs are. This means that running configs/example/fs.py for x86 fails because no kernel is specified. Moving the specification over fixes this problem. There is another problem that this uncovers, which is that going past the init stage (i.e., past where the regression test stops) fails because the fsck test on the disk device fails, but that's a separate issue.
2013-11-14tests: suppress output on switcheroo testsSteve Reinhardt
The output from the switcheroo tests is voluminous and (because it includes timestamps) highly sensitive to minor changes, leading to extremely large updates to the reference outputs. This patch addresses this problem by suppressing output from the tests. An internal parameter can be set to enable the output. Wiring that up to a command-line flag (perhaps even the rudimantary -v/-q options in m5/main.py) is left for future work.
2013-11-01test: Use SimpleMemory for atomic full-system testsAndreas Hansson
Keep it simple and use the SimpleMemory rather than the DRAM controller model for atomic full-system tests.
2013-08-20ruby: add option for number of transitions per cycleNilay Vaish
The number of transitions per cycle that a controller can carry out is a proxy for the number of ports that a controller has. This value is currently 32 which is way too high. The patch introduces an option for the number of ports and uses this option in the protocol files to set the number of transitions. The default value is being set to 4. None of the se regressions change. Ruby stats for the fs regression change and are being updated.
