Since protobuf is still considered optional we do not always have the
TrafficGen. Check before running the memcheck regression.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The full-system SPARC tests depend on several binaries that aren't

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.

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.

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.

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.

Re-use the existing traffic generator regression, and enable the stack

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
Keep it simple and use the SimpleMemory rather than the DRAM
controller model for atomic full-system tests.
|
|
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.
|
|
This patch changes the default parameter value of conf_table_reported
to match the common case. It also simplifies the regression and config
scripts to reflect this change.
