config: Add a mem-type config option to se/fs scripts 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. --HG-- rename : configs/common/CpuConfig.py => configs/common/MemConfig.py

config: Cleanup CPU configuration The CPUs supported by the configuration scripts used to be hard-coded. This was not ideal for several reasons. For example, the configuration scripts depend on all CPU models even though only a subset might have been compiled. This changeset adds a new module to the configuration scripts that automatically discovers the available CPU models from the compiled SimObjects. As a nice bonus, the use of introspection allows us to automatically generate a list of available CPU models suitable for printing. This list is augmented with the Python doc string from the underlying class if available.

power: Add voltage domains to the clock domains This patch adds the notion of voltage domains, and groups clock domains that operate under the same voltage (i.e. power supply) into domains. Each clock domain is required to be associated with a voltage domain, and the latter requires the voltage to be explicitly set. A voltage domain is an independently controllable voltage supply being provided to section of the design. Thus, if you wish to perform dynamic voltage scaling on a CPU, its clock domain should be associated with a separate voltage domain. The current implementation of the voltage domain does not take into consideration cases where there are derived voltage domains running at ratio of native voltage domains, as with the case where there can be on-chip buck/boost (charge pumps) voltage regulation logic. The regression and configuration scripts are updated with a generic voltage domain for the system, and one for the CPUs.

A default value is provided for the command-line option. The configs and tests are updated accordingly.

In follow-on patches the latter will be disambiguated further.

Note, however, that currently this only provides limited checking on a running system; other parts of the system, such as I/O devices are not monitored, and may cause warnings to be issued by the monitor.

misc: Coupling gem5 with SystemC TLM2.0 Transaction Level Modeling (TLM2.0) is widely used in industry for creating virtual platforms (IEEE 1666 SystemC). This patch contains a standard compliant implementation of an external gem5 port, that enables the usage of gem5 as a TLM initiator component in SystemC based virtual platforms. Both TLM coding paradigms loosely timed (b_transport) and aproximately timed (nb_transport) are supported. Compared to the original patch a TLM memory manager was added. Furthermore, the transaction object was removed and for each TLM payload a PacketPointer that points to the original gem5 packet is added as an TLM extension. For event handling single events are now created. Committed by: Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>

parser.add_option("-m", "--abs-max-tick", type="int", default=m5.MaxTick,
Configs: Fix up maxtick and maxtime This patch contains three fixes to max tick options handling in Options.py and Simulation.py: 1) Since the global simulator frequency isn't bound until m5.instantiate() is called, the maxtick resolution needs to happen after this call, since changes to the global frequency will cause m5.simulate() to misinterpret the maxtick value. Shuffling this also requires tweaking the checkpoint directory handling to signal the checkpoint restore tick back to run(). Fixing this completely and correctly will require storing the simulation frequency into checkpoints, which is beyond the scope of this patch. 2) The maxtick option in Options.py was defaulted to MaxTicks, so the old code would always skip over the maxtime part of the conditionals at the beginning of run(). Change the maxtick default to None, and set the maxtick local variable in run() appropriately. 3) To clarify whether max ticks settings are relative or absolute, split the maxtick option into separate options, for relative and absolute. Ensure that these two options and the maxtime option are handled appropriately to set the maxtick variable in Simulation.py.

# CPU Switching - default switch model goes from a checkpoint
# to a timing simple CPU with caches to warm up, then to detailed CPU for
# data measurement
configs: add option for repeatedly switching back-and-forth between cpu types. This patch adds a --repeat-switch option that will enable repeat core switching at a user defined period (set with --switch-freq option). currently, a switch can only occur between like CPU types. inorder CPU switching is not supported. *note* this patch simply allows a config that will perform repeat switching, it does not fix drain/switchout functionality. if you run with repeat switching you will hit assertion failures and/or your workload with hang or die.

arm: Add support for ARMv8 (AArch64 & AArch32) 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.

arm, tests: Update config files to more recent kernels and create 64-bit 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.

Config: Add command line options for disk image and memory size Added the options to Options.py for FS mode with backward compatibility. It is good to provide an option to specify the disk image and the memory size from command line since a lot of disk images are created to support different benchmark suites as well as per user needs. Change in program also leads to change in memory requirements. These options provide the interface to provide both disk image and memory size from the command line and gives more flexibility.

config: Add two options for setting the kernel command line. Both options accept template which will, through python string formatting, have "mem", "disk", and "script" values substituted in from the mdesc. Additional values can be used on a case by case basis by passing them as keyword arguments to the fillInCmdLine function. That makes it possible to have specialized parameters for a particular ISA, for instance. The first option lets you specify the template directly, and the other lets you specify a file which has the template in it.
