Adds MISCREG_ID_MMFR2 and removes break on access to MISCREG_CLIDR. Both
registers now return values that are consistent with current ARM
implementations.
This patch implements the copyRegs() function for the x86 architecture.
The patch assumes that no side effects other than TLB invalidation need
to be considered while copying the registers. This may not hold true in
future.
Branch predictor could not predict a branch in a nested loop because:
1. The global history was not updated after a mispredict squash.
2. The global history was updated in the fetch stage. The choice predictors
that were updated used the changed global history. This is incorrect, as
it incorporates the state of global history after the branch in
encountered. Fixed update to choice predictor using the global history
state before the branch happened.
3. The global predictor table was also updated using the global history state
before the branch happened as above.
Additionally, parameters to initialize ctr and history size were reversed.
Fixed up the patch from Yasuko Watanabe that enabled pipelining of fetch accessess to
icache to work with recent changes to main repository.
Also added in ability for fetch stage to delay issuing the fault carrying
nop when a pipeline fetch causes a fault and no fetch bandwidth is available
until the next cycle.
change hwrei back to being a non-control instruction so O3-FS mode will work
add squash in inorder that will catch a hwrei (or any other genric instruction)
that isnt a control inst but changes the PC. Additional testing still needs to be done
for inorder-FS mode but this change will free O3 development back up in the interim
This makes it possible to use the grammar multiple times and use the multiple
instances concurrently. This makes implementing an include statement as part
of a grammar possible.
This change simplifies the code surrounding operand type handling and makes it
depend only on the ctype that goes with each operand type. Future changes will
allow defining operand types by their ctypes directly, convert the ISAs over
to that style of definition, and then remove support for the old style. These
changes are to make it easier to use non-builtin types like classes or
structures as the type for operands.
Addition of functional access support to Ruby necessitated some changes to
the way coherence protocols are written. I had forgotten to update the
Network_test protocol. This patch makes those updates.
readBytes and writeBytes had the word "bytes" in their names because they
accessed blobs of bytes. This distinguished them from the read and write
functions which handled higher level data types. Because those functions don't
exist any more, this change renames readBytes and writeBytes to more general
names, readMem and writeMem, which reflect the fact that they are how you read
and write memory. This also makes their names more consistent with the
register reading/writing functions, although those are still read and set for
some reason.
This patch updates the regression outputs for Ruby memtest. This was
required because of the changes carried out by the addition of functional
access support to Ruby.
This patch rpovides functional access support in Ruby. Currently only
the M5Port of RubyPort supports functional accesses. The support for
functional through the PioPort will be added as a separate patch.
A few prior changesets have changed the gem5 output in a way that wont cause
errors but may be confusing for someone trying to debug the regressions. Ones that I caught
were:
- no more "warn: <hash address"
- typo in the ALPHA Prefetch unimplemented warning
Additionaly, the last updated stats changes rearrange the ordering of the stats output even though
they are still correct stats (gem5 is smart enough to detect this). All the regressions pass
w/the same stats even though it looks like they are being changed.
