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.

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.

Updated the util/m5/Makefile.arm so that m5op_arm.S is used to create
a static library - libm5.a. Allowing users to insert m5
psuedo-instructions into their applications for fine-grained
checkpointing, switching cpus or dumping statistics. e.g.
#include <m5op.h>
void foo(){
...
m5_reset_stats(<delay>,<period>)
m5_work_begin(<workid>,<threadid>);
...
m5_work_end(<workid>,<threadid>);
m5_dump_stats(<delay>,<period>);
}

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).

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.

This script (util/diff_config.pl) takes two config.ini files and compares them.
It highlights value changes, as well as displaying which parts are unique to
a specific config.ini file. This is useful when trying to replicate an earlier
experiment and when trying to make small changes to an existing configuration.

When the "all" test is specified, the "tests" list should have two elements in
it, "quick" and "long", not a single element "quick,long". The later would be
appropriate as the default for one of the command line options which are split
at commas, but at that point "tests" should already be a list.

This patch updates the regress script to reflect the merge of the
SE/FS builds and the new structure of the test directories. It adds a
"mode" flag to the script, that defaults to both se and fs.

Usage: m5 writefile <filename>
File will be created in the gem5 output folder with the identical filename.
Implementation is largely based on the existing "readfile" functionality.
Currently does not support exporting of folders.

These ops allow gem5 ops to be called from within java programs like the following:
import jni.gem5Op;
public class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String[] args) {
gem5Op gem5 = new gem5Op();
System.out.println("Rpns0:" + gem5.rpns());
System.out.println("Rpns1:" + gem5.rpns());
}
static {
System.loadLibrary("gem5OpJni");
}
}
When building you need to make sure classpath include gem5OpJni.jar:
javac -classpath $CLASSPATH:/path/to/gem5OpJni.jar HelloWorld.java
and when running you need to make sure both the java and library path are set:
java -classpath $CLASSPATH:/path/to/gem5OpJni.jar -Djava.library.path=/path/to/libgem5OpJni.so HelloWorld

Implemented a pipeline activity viewer as a python script (util/o3-pipeview.py)
and modified O3 code base to support an extra trace flag (O3PipeView) for
generating traces to be used as inputs by the tool.

Changed the --variants option to --test-variants and added a new
--compile-variants option for variants that are only compiled
(not tested). The former still defaults to 'opt' and the latter
defaults to 'debug,fast'.
Also changed the behavior when no tests are specified from just
compiling to running the 'quick' tests.
As a result, a plain 'util/regress' invocation will now compile
(but not test) the debug and fast builds, and compile and run the
quick regressions on the opt build. This should be the default
set of tests that are run before committing. Since the nightly
regressions use this same script, this will also be the new
nightly regression behavior.
Test-only regressions can still be done by setting --compile=''.
Compile-only regressions can be done by setting --test=''.

This change replaces the mkblankimage.sh script, used for creating new disk
images, with a new gem5img.py script. The new version is written in python
instead of bash, takes its parameters from command line arguments instead of
prompting for them, and finds a free loopback device dynamically instead of
hardcoding /dev/loop1. The file system used is now optionally configurable,
and the blank image is filled by a "hole" left by lseek and write instead of
literally filling it with zeroes.
The functionality of the new script is broken into subcommands "init",
"mount", "umount", "new", "partition", and "format". "init" creates a new file
of the appropriate size, partitions it, and then formats the first (and only)
new parition. "mount" attaches a new loopback device to the first parition of
the image file and mounts it to the specified mount point. "umount" unmounts
the specified mount point and identifies and cleans up the underlying loopback
device. "new", "partition", and "format" are the individual stages of "init"
but broken out so they can be run individually. That's so an image can be
reinitialized in place if needed.
Two features of the original script are being dropped. The first is the
ability to specify a source directory to copy into the new file system. The
second is the ability to specify a list of commands to run which are expected
to (but not required to) update the permissions of the files in the new fs.
Both of these seem easy enough to do manually, especially given the "mount"
and "umount" commands, that removing them would meaningfully simplify the
script without making it less useful.

makes things work both with mercurial and stand alone with stdio
|
|
I didn't realize that the perl version existed when I started this,
this version has a lot more features than the previous one since it will
sort and separate python, system, and m5 headers in separate groups, it
will remove duplicates, it will also convert c headers to stl headers
