2018-09-12cpu: Replace the fastmem with a new CPU modelAndreas Sandberg
The AtomicSimpleCPU used to be able to access memory directly to speed up simulation if no caches are used. This is fine as long as no switching between CPU models is required. In order to switch to a new CPU model that requires caches, we currently need to checkpoint the system and restore it into a new configuration. The new 'atomic_noncaching' memory mode provides a solution that avoids this issue since caches are bypassed in this mode. This changeset removes the old fastmem option from the AtomicSimpleCPU and introduces a new CPU, NonCachingSimpleCPU, which derives from the AtomicSimpleCPU. The NonCachingSimpleCPU uses the same mechanism as the AtomicSimpleCPU used to use when accessing memory in when fastmem was enabled. This changeset also introduces a new switcheroo test that tests switching between a NonCachingSimpleCPU and a TimingSimpleCPU with caches.

2017-11-16tests: Add tests for DRAM low power modesRadhika Jagtap
This patch adds two regression tests that execute the script in the configs dir for triggering low power mode transitions. A separate test is required for each page policy because for close-adaptive page policy the DRAM goes into the Precharge Power-down mode while for open-adaptive page policy it goes into the Activate Power-down mode.

2017-07-17tests: Don't treat new stats as a cause for failuresAndreas Sandberg
We currently fail the stat diff stage of tests if there are new stats. This is usually undesirable since this would require any change that adds a stat to also update the regressions.

2017-06-13scons: Make MOESI_CMP_directory the default ARM ruby protocolNikos Nikoleris
Previously ARM binaries were by default compiled with the MI_example protocol. The MI_example protocol cannot properly support load/store exclusive instructions and therefore it cannot be used to simulate multicore ARM systems. This change changes to MOESI_CMP_directory as the default ruby protocol for ARM systems.

2016-09-16tests: Add support for functional only testsAndreas Sandberg
Modify the ClassicTest class to only emit a stat verification test unit if there is a reference stat file. This makes it possible to design tests that don't care about stat changes. To generate purely functional tests, we need to be able to create empty test reference directories. This does not work well with many revision control systems. As a workaround, add a file named EMPTY to the list of ignored files in the test harness. This file can be used as a placeholder in otherwise empty test directories.

2016-07-22tests: Add regex-based ignore rules for ref filesAndreas Sandberg
There are cases where we need to ignore files with specific extensions (e.g., when Mercurial litters the file system with patch rejects). Implement this functionality using a helper class (FileIgnoreList) that supports both regular expressions and basic string comparisons.

2016-06-20tests: Split test results into running and verificationAndreas Sandberg
The test base class already assumes that test cases consists of a run stage and a verification stage. Reflect this in the results class to make it possible to detect cases where a run was successful, but didn't verify.

2016-06-02tests: Only run Ruby tests when testing Ruby targetsAndreas Sandberg
Limit the test configs to Ruby-only configs when testing a Ruby target that isn't MI_example. This avoids re-running configs that has already been tested by the generic (non-Ruby) ISA target. This behavior was the expected behavior prior to switching to the new test framework.

2016-05-31tests: Fix incorrect stat.txt ignore when updating refsAndreas Sandberg
ClassicTest was incorrectly ignoring stats.txt when updating reference statistics. This was caused by ignore rules being applied too aggressively when listing reference files. This changeset splits the ignore rules into two different lists: 1) diff_ignore_files that lists the files that shouldn't be diff:ed using the normal diff tool, and 2) ref_ignore_files which lists files that should be ignored by the test system.

2016-05-26tests: Add test infrastructure as a Python moduleAndreas Sandberg
Implement gem5's test infrastructure as a Python module and a run script that can be used without scons. The new implementation has several features that were lacking from the previous test infrastructure such as support for multiple output formats, automatic runtime tracking, and better support for being run in a cluster environment. Tests consist of one or more steps (TestUnit). Units are run in two stages, the first a run stage and then a verify stage. Units in the verify stage are automatically skipped if any unit run stage wasn't run. The library currently contains TestUnit implementations that run gem5, diff stat files, and diff output files. Existing tests are implemented by the ClassicTest class and "just work". New tests can that don't rely on the old "run gem5 once and diff output" strategy can be implemented by subclassing the Test base class or ClassicTest. Test results can be output in multiple formats. The module currently supports JUnit, text (short and verbose), and Python's pickle format. JUnit output allows CI systems to automatically get more information about test failures. The pickled output contains all state necessary to reconstruct a tests results object and is mainly intended for the build system and CI systems. Since many JUnit parsers parsers assume that test suite names look like Java package names. We currently output path-like names with slashes separating components. Test names are translated according to these rules: * '.' -> '-" * '/' -> '.' The test tool, tests.py, supports the following features: * Test listing. Example: ./tests.py list arm/quick * Running tests. Example: ./tests.py run -o output.pickle --format pickle \ ../build/ARM/gem5.opt \ quick/se/00.hello/arm/linux/simple-timing * Displaying pickled results. Example: ./tests.py show --format summary *.pickle Change-Id: I527164bd791237aacfc65e7d7c0b67b695c5d17c Signed-off-by: Andreas Sandberg <andreas.sandberg@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Curtis Dunham <curtis.dunham@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Joel Hestness <jthestness@gmail.com>
