3ef797623a arm, config: Add missing IOCache in bL config
This patch adds an IOCache to the example bigLITTLE
configuration. An IOCache is required for correct DMA
transfers when we have caches in the system.

ce2722cdd9 mem: Split the hit_latency into tag_latency and data_latency
If the cache access mode is parallel, i.e. "sequential_access" parameter
is set to "False", tags and data are accessed in parallel. Therefore,
the hit_latency is the maximum latency between tag_latency and
data_latency. On the other hand, if the cache access mode is
sequential, i.e. "sequential_access" parameter is set to "True",
tags and data are accessed sequentially. Therefore, the hit_latency
is the sum of tag_latency plus data_latency.

de72e36619 gpu-compute: support in-order data delivery in GM pipe
this patch adds an ordered response buffer to the GM pipeline
to ensure in-order data delivery. the buffer is implemented as
a stl ordered map, which sorts the request in program order by
using their sequence ID. when requests return to the GM pipeline
they are marked as done. only the oldest request may be serviced
from the ordered buffer, and only if is marked as done.

the FIFO response buffers are kept and used in OoO delivery mode

90b087171b config: Break out base options for usage with NULL ISA
This patch breaks out the most basic configuration options into a set
of base options, to allow them to be used also by scripts that do not
involve any ISA, and thus no actual CPUs or devices.

The patch also fixes a few modules so that they can be imported in a
NULL build, and avoid dragging in FSConfig every time Options is
imported.

2f5262eb67 config: Make configs/common a Python package
Continue along the same line as the recent patch that made the
Ruby-related config scripts Python packages and make also the
configs/common directory a package.

All affected config scripts are updated (hopefully).

Note that this change makes it apparent that the current organisation
and naming of the config directory and its subdirectories is rather
chaotic. We mix scripts that are directly invoked with scripts that
merely contain convenience functions. While it is not addressed in
this patch we should follow up with a re-organisation of the
config structure, and renaming of some of the packages.

68fdccb30b ruby: Fix regressions and make Ruby configs Python packages
This patch moves the addition of network options into the Ruby module
to avoid the regressions all having to add it explicitly. Doing this
exposes an issue in our current config system though, namely the fact
that addtoPath is relative to the Python script being executed. Since
both example and regression scripts use the Ruby module we would end
up with two different (relative) paths being added. Instead we take a
first step at turning the config modules into Python packages, simply
by adding a __init__.py in the configs/ruby, configs/topologies and
configs/network subdirectories.

As a result, we can now add the top-level configs directory to the
Python search path, and then use the package names in the various
modules. The example scripts are also updated, and the messy
path-deducing variations in the scripts are unified.

92f021cbbe mem: Move the point of coherency to the coherent crossbar
This patch introduces the ability of making the coherent crossbar the
point of coherency. If so, the crossbar does not forward packets where
a cache with ownership has already committed to responding, and also
does not forward any coherency-related packets that are not intended
for a downstream memory controller. Thus, invalidations and upgrades
are turned around in the crossbar, and the memory controller only sees
normal reads and writes.

In addition this patch moves the express snoop promotion of a packet
to the crossbar, thus allowing the downstream cache to check the
express snoop flag (as it should) for bypassing any blocking, rather
than relying on whether a cache is responding or not.

173a786921 ruby: more flexible ruby tester support
This patch allows the ruby random tester to use ruby ports that may only
support instr or data requests.  This patch is similar to a previous changeset
(8932:1b2c17565ac8) that was unfortunately broken by subsequent changesets.
This current patch implements the support in a more straight-forward way.
Since retries are now tested when running the ruby random tester, this patch
splits up the retry and drain check behavior so that RubyPort children, such
as the GPUCoalescer, can perform those operations correctly without having to
duplicate code.  Finally, the patch also includes better DPRINTFs for
debugging the tester.

9bd5051b60 config: Enable elastic trace capture and replay in se/fs
This patch adds changes to the configuration scripts to support elastic
tracing and replay.

The patch adds a command line option to enable elastic tracing in SE mode
and FS mode. When enabled the Elastic Trace cpu probe is attached to O3CPU
and a few O3 CPU parameters are tuned. The Elastic Trace probe writes out
both instruction fetch and data dependency traces. The patch also enables
configuring the TraceCPU to replay traces using the SE and FS script.

The replay run is designed to resume from checkpoint using atomic cpu to
restore state keeping it consistent with FS run flow. It then switches to
TraceCPU to replay the input traces.

no table-walker caches, connected to a shared L2).

36dc93a5fa mem: Move crossbar default latencies to subclasses
This patch introduces a few subclasses to the CoherentXBar and
NoncoherentXBar to distinguish the different uses in the system. We
use the crossbar in a wide range of places: interfacing cores to the
L2, as a system interconnect, connecting I/O and peripherals,
etc. Needless to say, these crossbars have very different performance,
and the clock frequency alone is not enough to distinguish these
scenarios.

Instead of trying to capture every possible case, this patch
introduces dedicated subclasses for the three primary use-cases:
L2XBar, SystemXBar and IOXbar. More can be added if needed, and the
defaults can be overridden.

f18d2120fa config: Add memcheck stress test
This is a rather unfortunate copy of the memtest.py example script,
that actually stresses the system with true sharing as opposed to the
false sharing of the MemTest. To do so it uses TrafficGen instances to
generate the reads/writes, and MemCheckerMonitor combined with the
MemChecker to check the validity of the read/written values.

As a bonus, this script also enables the addition of prefetchers, and
the traffic is created to have a mix of random addresses and linear
strides. We use the TaggedPrefetcher since the packets do not have a
request with a PC.

At the moment the code is almost identical to the memtest.py script,
and no effort has been made to factor out the construction of the
tree. The challenge is that the instantiation and connection of the
testers and monitors is done as part of the tree building.

This patch revamps the memtest example script and allows for the
insertion of testers at any level in the cache hierarchy. Previously
all created topologies placed testers only at the very top, and the
tree was thus entirely symmetric. With the changes made, it is possible
to not only place testers at the leaf caches (L1), but also to connect
testers at the L2, L3 etc.

As part of the changes the object hierarchy is also simplified to
ensure that the visual representation from the DOT printing looks
sensible. Using SubSystems to group the objects is one of the key
features.

809134a2b1 config: Add options to take/resume from SimPoint checkpoints

Steps to profile, generate, and use SimPoints with gem5:

1. To profile workload and generate SimPoint BBV file, use the
following option:

--simpoint-profile --simpoint-interval <interval length>

Requires single Atomic CPU and fastmem.
<interval length> is in number of instructions.

2. Generate SimPoint analysis using SimPoint 3.2 from UCSD.
(SimPoint 3.2 not included with this flow.)

3. To take gem5 checkpoints based on SimPoint analysis, use the
following option:

--take-simpoint-checkpoint=<simpoint file path>,<weight file
path>,<interval length>,<warmup length>

<simpoint file> and <weight file> is generated by SimPoint analysis
tool from UCSD. SimPoint 3.2 format expected. <interval length> and
<warmup length> are in number of instructions.

4. To resume from gem5 SimPoint checkpoints, use the following option:

--restore-simpoint-checkpoint -r <N> --checkpoint-dir <simpoint
checkpoint path>

<N> is (SimPoint index + 1). E.g., "-r 1" will resume from SimPoint
#0.
