This is due to op class, function call, walker patches.

This patch adds the memory type parameter to the t1000 regression.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This patch enables selection of the memory controller class through a
mem-type command-line option. Behind the scenes, this option is
treated much like the cpu-type, and a similar framework is used to
resolve the valid options, and translate the short-hand description to
a valid class.
The regression scripts are updated with a hardcoded memory class for
the moment. The best solution going forward is probably to get the
memory out of the makeSystem functions, but Ruby complicates things as
it does not connect the memory controller to the membus.

This changeset adds support for initializing a KVM VM in the
BaseSystem test class and adds the following methods in run.py:
require_file -- Test if a file exists and abort/skip if not.
require_kvm -- Test if KVM support has been compiled into gem5 (i.e.,
BaseKvmCPU exists) and the KVM device exists on the
host.

Add the options 'panic_on_panic' and 'panic_on_oops' to the
LinuxArmSystem SimObject. When these option are enabled, the simulator
panics when the guest kernel panics or oopses. Enable panic on panic
and panic on oops in ARM-based test cases.

This patch merely bumps the stats to match the changes introduced in
changeset 35198406dd72.
|
|
This patch bumps the stats for the failing vortex o3 regression.
|
|
The new changeset that can reorder Ruby profilers will cause the ruby.stats
files to reordered statistics (the point of the patch). Update the references
to ensure that these changes are reflected in regressions.

|
|
|
|
This patch updates the stats for the affected stats. All the changes
are minimal (in the <0.01% range).
|
|
This patch updates the stats after splitting the bus retry into
waiting for the bus and waiting for the peer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This patch removes the functional copy of the memory that was maintained in
the se mode. Now ruby itself will provide the data.
|
|
|
|
This patch bumps the stats to reflect the slight change in how the
retry is handled, and also the pruning of some redundant stats.

CPU switching consists of the following steps:
1. Drain the system
2. Switch out old CPUs (cpu.switchOut())
3. Change the system timing mode to the mode the new CPUs require
4. Flush caches if switching to hardware virtualization
5. Inform new CPUs of the handover (cpu.takeOverFrom())
6. Resume the system
m5.switchCpus() previously only did step 2 & 5. Since information
about the new processors' memory system requirements is now exposed,
do all of the steps above.
This patch adds automatic memory system switching and flush (if
needed) to switchCpus(). Additionally, it adds optional draining to
switchCpus(). This has the following implications:
* changeToTiming and changeToAtomic are no longer needed, so they have
been removed.
* changeMemoryMode is only used internally, so it is has been renamed
to be private.
* switchCpus requires a reference to the system containing the CPUs as
its first parameter.
WARNING: This changeset breaks compatibility with existing
configuration scripts since it changes the signature of
m5.switchCpus().

This patch updates the regression stats to reflect that they are using
the SimpleDDR3 controller by default.
|
|
This patch moves the default DRAM parameters from the SimpleDRAM class
to two different subclasses, one for DDR3 and one for LPDDR2. More can
be added as we go forward.
The regressions that previously used the SimpleDRAM are now using
SimpleDDR3 as this is the most similar configuration.
|
|
This patch bumps the stats for 20.parser for ARM o3-timing to reflect
a namechange of the branch predictor.
|
|
The actual statistical values are being updated for only two tests belonging
to sparc architecture and inorder cpu: 00.hello and 02.insttest. For others
the patch updates config.ini and name changes to statistical variables.

This patch bumps the stats of mcf and twolf for the o3 CPU such that
the regressions pass.

This changeset adds a set of tests that stress the CPU switching
code. It adds the following test configurations:
* tsunami-switcheroo-full -- Alpha system (atomic, timing, O3)
* realview-switcheroo-atomic -- ARM system (atomic<->atomic)
* realview-switcheroo-timing -- ARM system (timing<->timing)
* realview-switcheroo-o3 -- ARM system (O3<->O3)
* realview-switcheroo-full -- ARM system (atomic, timing, O3)
Reference data is provided for the 10.linux-boot test case. All of the
tests trigger a CPU switch once per millisecond during the boot
process.
The in-order CPU model was not included in any of the tests as it does
not support CPU handover.

This patch generalises the address range resolution for the I/O cache
and I/O bridge such that they do not assume a single memory. The patch
involves adding a parameter to the system which is then defined based
on the memories that are to be visible from the I/O subsystem, whether
behind a cache or a bridge.
The change is needed to allow interleaved memory controllers in the
system.

This patch adds support for reading input traces encoded using
protobuf according to what is done in the CommMonitor.
A follow-up patch adds a Python script that can be used to convert the
previously used ASCII traces to protobuf equivalents. The appropriate
regression input is updated as part of this patch.

The EIO tests depend on the EIO support from the "encumbered"
repository, which means that they are not normally built with
gem5. This causes all EIO related tests to fail, which is both
annoying and confusing. This patch addresses this by adding support
for skipping tests if certain conditions (e.g., the presence of a
SimObject) can not be met. It introduces the following Python
functions that can be called from within a test case:
* skip_test -- Skip a test and optionally print why the test was
skipped.
* has_sim_object -- Test if a SimObject exists.
* require_sim_object -- Test if a SimObject exists and skip, or
optionally fail, the test if not.
Additionally, this patch updates the EIO tests to check for the
presence of EioProcess.

This patch adds packet tracing to the communication monitor using a
protobuf as the mechanism for creating the trace.
If no file is specified, then the tracing is disabled. If a file is
specified, then for every packet that is successfully sent, a protobuf
message is serialized to the file.

|
This patch updates the regression stats to reflect the change in the
traffic gen configuration.
|
|
This patch changes the traffic generator period such that it does not
completely saturate the DRAM controller and create an ever-growing
backlog in the queued port.
A separate patch updates the stats.

The ISA class on stores the contents of ID registers on many
architectures. In order to make reset values of such registers
configurable, we make the class inherit from SimObject, which allows
us to use the normal generated parameter headers.
This patch introduces a Python helper method, BaseCPU.createThreads(),
which creates a set of ISAs for each of the threads in an SMT
system. Although it is currently only needed when creating
multi-threaded CPUs, it should always be called before instantiating
the system as this is an obvious place to configure ID registers
identifying a thread/CPU.

Previous to this change we didn't always set the memory mode which worked as
long as we never attempted to switch CPUs or checked that a CPU was in a
memory system with the correct mode. Future changes will make CPUs verify
that they're operating in the correct mode and thus we need to always set it.
|

Most of the test cases currently contain a large amount of duplicated
boiler plate code. This changeset introduces a set of classes that
encapsulates most of the functionality when setting up a test
configuration.
The following base classes are introduced:
* BaseSystem - Basic system configuration that can be used for both
SE and FS simulation.
* BaseFSSystem - Basic FS configuration uni-processor and multi-processor
configurations.
* BaseFSSystemUniprocessor - Basic FS configuration for uni-processor
configurations. This is provided as a way
to make existing test cases backwards
compatible.
Architecture specific implementations are provided for ARM, Alpha, and
X86.
