regressions slightly.

This is a simple test program for the new mwait implemenation. It is uses
m5threads to create to threads of execution in syscall emulation mode that
interact using the mwait instruction.

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.

regressions.
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.

Somehow these seem to have been missed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
As a result of the fixes, the full-system dual-core ARM regressions
are slightly changed. Hopefully this also means there will no longer
be any discrepancies between the results observed on different hosts.

This patch bumps the stats to reflect the addition of the snoop filter
and snoop stats, the change from bus to crossbar, and the updates to
the ARM regressions that are now using a different CPU and cache
configuration. Lastly, some minor changes are expected due to the
activation cleanup of the CPUs.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.

When GNU coreutils 'timeout' is available, limit each regression
simulation to 4 hours.

This patch updates the stats to reflect the fixes and changes to the
CPU (mainly the o3), and the caches.
|
|
This patch changes the perlbmk regression script from the large to the
medium dataset to reduce the regression run time. For all ISAs and CPU
models, the total perlbmk host CPU time with the large dataset is
roughly 12 hours (constituting >30% of the total regression host
time). There is, most likely, almost no added value in terms of code
coverage for this rather excessive run time.
|
|
This patch avoids building the 'inorder' CPU model for any permutation
of ALPHA, and also removes the ALPHA regressions using the 'inorder'
CPU. The 'minor' CPU is already providing a broader test coverage.
|
|
This patch changes the CPU configuration used for the full-system ARM
regressions to increase the test coverage. Note that it is only the
core configuration, and not the caches etc.
|
|
Also updates many out of date config files.
|
|
This patch fixes scripts related to ruby by adding the ruby clock domain.
Now the L1 controllers and the Sequencer shares the cpu clock domain,
while the rest of the components use the ruby clock domain.
Before this patch, running simulations with the cpu clock set at 2GHz or
1GHz will output the same time results and could distort power measurements.

Updating the stats to match the current behaviour.
|
|
This patch adds regression tests results and test harnesses
for the Minor CPU on ARM and ALPHA.
|
|
Only printing one rather than two args for the ignored syscall
warning means the count of register accesses has changed on
a few runs. Oddly only Alpha Tru64 seems to have any ignored
syscalls in the regression tests.
|
|
Mostly small differences in total ticks, but O3 stall causes
shifted significantly.
30.eon does speed up by ~6% on Alpha and ARM, and 50.vortex
by 4.5% on ARM. At the other extreme, X86 70.twolf is 0.8%
slower.

This patch encompasses several interrelated and interdependent changes
to the ISA generation step. The end goal is to reduce the size of the
generated compilation units for instruction execution and decoding so
that batch compilation can proceed with all CPUs active without
exhausting physical memory.
The ISA parser (src/arch/isa_parser.py) has been improved so that it can
accept 'split [output_type];' directives at the top level of the grammar
and 'split(output_type)' python calls within 'exec {{ ... }}' blocks.
This has the effect of "splitting" the files into smaller compilation
units. I use air-quotes around "splitting" because the files themselves
are not split, but preprocessing directives are inserted to have the same
effect.
Architecturally, the ISA parser has had some changes in how it works.
In general, it emits code sooner. It doesn't generate per-CPU files,
and instead defers to the C preprocessor to create the duplicate copies
for each CPU type. Likewise there are more files emitted and the C
preprocessor does more substitution that used to be done by the ISA parser.
Finally, the build system (SCons) needs to be able to cope with a
dynamic list of source files coming out of the ISA parser. The changes
to the SCons{cript,truct} files support this. In broad strokes, the
targets requested on the command line are hidden from SCons until all
the build dependencies are determined, otherwise it would try, realize
it can't reach the goal, and terminate in failure. Since build steps
(i.e. running the ISA parser) must be taken to determine the file list,
several new build stages have been inserted at the very start of the
build. First, the build dependencies from the ISA parser will be emitted
to arch/$ISA/generated/inc.d, which is then read by a new SCons builder
to finalize the dependencies. (Once inc.d exists, the ISA parser will not
need to be run to complete this step.) Once the dependencies are known,
the 'Environments' are made by the makeEnv() function. This function used
to be called before the build began but now happens during the build.
It is easy to see that this step is quite slow; this is a known issue
and it's important to realize that it was already slow, but there was
no obvious cause to attribute it to since nothing was displayed to the
terminal. Since new steps that used to be performed serially are now in a
potentially-parallel build phase, the pathname handling in the SCons scripts
has been tightened up to deal with chdir() race conditions. In general,
pathnames are computed earlier and more likely to be stored, passed around,
and processed as absolute paths rather than relative paths. In the end,
some of these issues had to be fixed by inserting serializing dependencies
in the build.
Minor note:
For the null ISA, we just provide a dummy inc.d so SCons is never
compelled to try to generate it. While it seems slightly wrong to have
anything in src/arch/*/generated (i.e. a non-generated 'generated' file),
it's by far the simplest solution.

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.
