This patch simply bumps the stats to reflect the introduction of a
bandwidth limit of 12.8GB/s for SimpleMemory.
|
|
This patch simply removes the commitCommittedInsts and
commitCommittedOps from the reference statistics, following their
removal from the CPU.

This patch simply bumps the stats to avoid having failing
regressions. Someone with more insight in the changes should verify
that these differences all make sense.

This patch merely updates the regression stats to reflect the change
in PIO and PCI latency.

This patch bumps the stats for the realview-o3-checker after fixing
the checker CPU in the previous patch.

This patch removes the NACKing in the bridge, as the split
request/response busses now ensure that protocol deadlocks do not
occur, i.e. the message-dependency chain is broken by always allowing
responses to make progress without being stalled by requests. The
NACKs had limited support in the system with most components ignoring
their use (with a suitable call to panic), and as the NACKs are no
longer needed to avoid protocol deadlocks, the cleanest way is to
simply remove them.
The bridge is the starting point as this is the only place where the
NACKs are created. A follow-up patch will remove the code that deals
with NACKs in the endpoints, e.g. the X86 table walker and DMA
port. Ultimately the type of packet can be complete removed (until
someone sees a need for modelling more complex protocols, which can
now be done in parts of the system since the port and interface is
split).
As a consequence of the NACK removal, the bridge now has to send a
retry to a master if the request or response queue was full on the
first attempt. This change also makes the bridge ports very similar to
QueuedPorts, and a later patch will change the bridge to use these. A
first step in this direction is taken by aligning the name of the
member functions, as done by this patch.
A bit of tidying up has also been done as part of the simplifications.
Surprisingly, this patch has no impact on any of the
regressions. Hence, there was never any NACKs issued. In a follow-up
patch I would suggest changing the size of the bridge buffers set in
FSConfig.py to also test the situation where the bridge fills up.

Actual stats updates covering period since original ref outputs
were clobbered.

Apparently Nate did a wholesale update of stats files using
a binary compiled without eio, resulting in broken refernce
outputs.

This patch updates the path to the Ruby topologies and thus fixes a
failing regression.

This patch changes the simple memory to have a single slave port
rather than a vector port. The simple memory makes no attempts at
modelling the contention between multiple ports, and any such
multiplexing and demultiplexing could be done in a bus (or crossbar)
outside the memory controller. This scenario also matches with the
ongoing work on a SimpleDRAM model, which will be a single-ported
single-channel controller that can be used in conjunction with a bus
(or crossbar) to create a multi-port multi-channel controller.
There are only very few regressions that make use of the vector port,
and these are all for functional accesses only. To facilitate these
cases, memtest and memtest-ruby have been updated to also have a
"functional" bus to perform the (de)multiplexing of the functional
memory accesses.

This patch bumps all the stats to reflect the bus changes, i.e. the
introduction of the state variable, the division into a request and
response layer, and the new default bus width of 8 bytes.

This patch introduces a class hierarchy of buses, a non-coherent one,
and a coherent one, splitting the existing bus functionality. By doing
so it also enables further specialisation of the two types of buses.
A non-coherent bus connects a number of non-snooping masters and
slaves, and routes the request and response packets based on the
address. The request packets issued by the master connected to a
non-coherent bus could still snoop in caches attached to a coherent
bus, as is the case with the I/O bus and memory bus in most system
configurations. No snoops will, however, reach any master on the
non-coherent bus itself. The non-coherent bus can be used as a
template for modelling PCI, PCIe, and non-coherent AMBA and OCP buses,
and is typically used for the I/O buses.
A coherent bus connects a number of (potentially) snooping masters and
slaves, and routes the request and response packets based on the
address, and also forwards all requests to the snoopers and deals with
the snoop responses. The coherent bus can be used as a template for
modelling QPI, HyperTransport, ACE and coherent OCP buses, and is
typically used for the L1-to-L2 buses and as the main system
interconnect.
The configuration scripts are updated to use a NoncoherentBus for all
peripheral and I/O buses.
A bit of minor tidying up has also been done.

This patch updates the stats for parser to be aligned with the most
up-to-date behaviour. Somehow the wrong results got committed as part
of 8800b05e1cb3 (see details below) when fixing the no_value -> nan
stats.

The kernel originally used to generate the stats is different from the one
at use on zizzer. This patch updates the stats with the correct kernel in
use.

This patch adds a very basic pretty-printing of the test status
(passed or failed) to highlight failing tests even more: green for
passed, and red for failed. The printing only uses ANSI it the target
output is a tty and supports ANSI colours. Hence, any regression
scripts that are outputting to files or sending e-mails etc should
still be fine.

This patch updates the stats to reflect the changes due to the use of
std::map instead of the hash map order-dependent iteration in Ruby.

This patch removes the assumption on having on single instance of
PhysicalMemory, and enables a distributed memory where the individual
memories in the system are each responsible for a single contiguous
address range.
All memories inherit from an AbstractMemory that encompasses the basic
behaviuor of a random access memory, and provides untimed access
methods. What was previously called PhysicalMemory is now
SimpleMemory, and a subclass of AbstractMemory. All future types of
memory controllers should inherit from AbstractMemory.
To enable e.g. the atomic CPU and RubyPort to access the now
distributed memory, the system has a wrapper class, called
PhysicalMemory that is aware of all the memories in the system and
their associated address ranges. This class thus acts as an
infinitely-fast bus and performs address decoding for these "shortcut"
accesses. Each memory can specify that it should not be part of the
global address map (used e.g. by the functional memories by some
testers). Moreover, each memory can be configured to be reported to
the OS configuration table, useful for populating ATAG structures, and
any potential ACPI tables.
Checkpointing support currently assumes that all memories have the
same size and organisation when creating and resuming from the
checkpoint. A future patch will enable a more flexible
re-organisation.

I am not too happy with the way options are added in files se.py and fs.py
currently. This patch moves all the options to the file Options.py, functions
from which are called when required.

Changeset 8868 slightly changes the statistics for the parser and
bzip2 regressions for ARM o3-timing. This patch merely updates the

This patch adds a creation-time check to the CPU to ensure that the
interrupt controller is created for the cases where it is needed,
i.e. if the CPU is not being switched in later and not a checker CPU.
The patch also adds the "createInterruptController" call to a number
of the regression scripts.
