2014-02-05sim: bump checkpoint version for multiple event queuesCurtis Dunham
This patch adds a fix for older checkpoints before support for multiple event queues were added in changeset 2cce74fe359e. The change in checkpoint version should really hav ebeen part of the aforementioned changeset.
2014-07-01util: Add DVFS perfLevel to checkpoint upgrade scriptRadhika Jagtap
This patch updates the checkpoint upgrader script. It adds the _perfLevel variable in the clock domain and voltage domain simObjects used for DVFS.
2014-04-19ruby: recorder: Fix (de-)serializing with different cache block-sizesMarco Elver
Upon aggregating records, serialize system's cache-block size, as the cache-block size can be different when restoring from a checkpoint. This way, we can correctly read all records when restoring from a checkpoints, even if the cache-block size is different. Note, that it is only possible to restore from a checkpoint if the desired cache-block size is smaller or equal to the cache-block size when the checkpoint was taken; we can split one larger request into multiple small ones, but it is not reliable to do the opposite.

2014-01-24arm: Add support for ARMv8 (AArch64 & AArch32)ARM gem5 Developers
Note: AArch64 and AArch32 interworking is not supported. If you use an AArch64 kernel you are restricted to AArch64 user-mode binaries. This will be addressed in a later patch. Note: Virtualization is only supported in AArch32 mode. This will also be fixed in a later patch.

2013-10-31ARM: add support for TEEHBR accessChander Sudanthi
Thumb2 ARM kernels may access the TEEHBR via thumbee_notifier in arch/arm/kernel/thumbee.c. The Linux kernel code just seems to be saving and restoring the register. This patch adds support for the TEEHBR cp14 register. Note, this may be a special case when restoring from an image that was run on a system that supports ThumbEE.
2013-10-31dev: Fix race conditions in IDE device on newer kernelsGeoffrey Blake
Newer linux kernels and distros exercise more functionality in the IDE device than previously, exposing 2 races. The first race is the handling of aborted DMA commands would immediately report the device is ready back to the kernel and cause already in flight commands to assert the simulator when they returned and discovered an inconsitent device state. The second race was due to the Status register not being handled correctly, the interrupt status bit would get stuck at 1 and the driver eventually views this as a bad state and logs the condition to the terminal. This patch fixes these two conditions by making the device handle aborted commands gracefully and properly handles clearing the interrupt status bit in the Status register.
2013-08-07x86: add tlb checkpointingNilay Vaish
This patch adds checkpointing support to x86 tlb. It upgrades the cpt_upgrader.py script so that previously created checkpoints can be updated. It moves the checkpoint version to 6.
2013-01-07arm: Remove the register mapping hack used when copying TCsAndreas Sandberg
In order to see all registers independent of the current CPU mode, the ARM architecture model uses the magic MISCREG_CPSR_MODE register to change the register mappings without actually updating the CPU mode. This hack is no longer needed since the thread context now provides a flat interface to the register file. This patch replaces the CPSR_MODE hack with the flat register interface.
2013-01-07arch: Move the ISA object to a separate sectionAndreas Sandberg
After making the ISA an independent SimObject, it is serialized automatically by the Python world. Previously, this just resulted in an empty ISA section. This patch moves the contents of the ISA to that section and removes the explicit ISA serialization from the thread contexts, which makes it behave like a normal SimObject during serialization. Note: This patch breaks checkpoint backwards compatibility! Use the cpt_upgrader.py utility to upgrade old checkpoints to the new format.
2012-11-02ARM: dump stats and process info on context switchesDam Sunwoo
This patch enables dumping statistics and Linux process information on context switch boundaries (__switch_to() calls) that are used for Streamline integration (a graphical statistics viewer from ARM).
2012-10-15Mem: Separate the host and guest views of memory backing storeAndreas Hansson
This patch moves all the memory backing store operations from the independent memory controllers to the global physical memory. The main reason for this patch is to allow address striping in a future set of patches, but at this point it already provides some useful functionality in that it is now possible to change the number of memory controllers and their address mapping in combination with checkpointing. Thus, the host and guest view of the memory backing store are now completely separate. With this patch, the individual memory controllers are far simpler as all responsibility for serializing/unserializing is moved to the physical memory. Currently, the functionality is more or less moved from AbstractMemory to PhysicalMemory without any major changes. However, in a future patch the physical memory will also resolve any ranges that are interleaved and properly assign the backing store to the memory controllers, and keep the host memory as a single contigous chunk per address range. Functionality for future extensions which involve CPU virtualization also enable the host to get pointers to the backing store.
