If we write back an exclusive copy, we now mark it
as such, so the cache receiving the writeback can
mark its copy as exclusive. This avoids some
unnecessary upgrade requests when a cache later
tries to re-acquire exclusive access to the block.
Make diff-out sort stats changes by percentage
by default, with '-a' to use current alpha sort
(instead of requiring '-p' to sort by percentage).
Other minor options cleanup too.
It's not the right fix for the checkpoint deadlock problem
Brad was having, and creates another bug where the system can
deadlock on restore. Brad can't reproduce the original bug
right now, so we'll wait until it arises again and then try
to fix it the right way then.
This reduces the scope of those includes and makes it less likely for there to
be a dependency loop. This also moves the hashing functions associated with
ExtMachInst objects to be with the ExtMachInst definitions and out of
utility.hh.
This code is no longer needed because of the preceeding change which adds a
StaticInstPtr parameter to the fault's invoke method, obviating the only use
for this pair of functions.
Also move the "Fault" reference counted pointer type into a separate file,
sim/fault.hh. It would be better to name this less similarly to sim/faults.hh
to reduce confusion, but fault.hh matches the name of the type. We could change
Fault to FaultPtr to match other pointer types, and then changing the name of
the file would make more sense.
This is necessary because versions of swig older than 1.3.39 fail to
do the right thing and try to do relative imports for everything (even
with the package= option to %module). Instead of putting params in
the m5.internal.params package, put params in the m5.internal package
and make all param modules start with param_. Same thing for
m5.internal.enums.
Also, stop importing all generated params into m5.objects. They are
not necessary and now with everything using relative imports we wound
up with pollution of the namespace (where builtin-range got overridden).
--HG--
rename : src/python/m5/internal/enums/__init__.py => src/python/m5/internal/enums.py
rename : src/python/m5/internal/params/__init__.py => src/python/m5/internal/params.py
Instead of putting all object files into m5/object/__init__.py, interrogate
the importer to find out what should be imported.
Instead of creating a single file that lists all of the embedded python
modules, use static object construction to put those objects onto a list.
Do something similar for embedded swig (C++) code.
It doesn't appear to be necessary and it is somewhat odd. I'm pretty
sure that the package parameter to %module does whatever this might
have been before. It's necessary in future revisions anyway.
Because the handling of the E state for multilevel caches
has changed, stats are affected for any non-ruby config
with caches, even uniprocessor simple CPU.
Corrects an oversight in cset f97b62be544f. The fix there only
failed queued SCUpgradeReq packets that encountered an
invalidation, which meant that the upgrade had to reach the L2
cache. To handle pending requests in the L1 we must similarly
fail StoreCondReq packets too.
Allow lower-level caches (e.g., L2 or L3) to pass exclusive
copies to higher levels (e.g., L1). This eliminates a lot
of unnecessary upgrade transactions on read-write sequences
to non-shared data.
Also some cleanup of MSHR coherence handling and multiple
bug fixes.
Don't assert that the response packet is marked as a response
since it won't always be so for functional accesses.
Also cleanup code to refer to functional accesses rather
than "probes" (old terminology), and mention in the
DPRINTF which type of access we're doing.
Without this flag set, page-crossing requests were not split into two mem
request.
Depending on the alignment bit in the SCTLR, misaligned access could
raise a fault. However it seems unnecessary to implement that.
This fault can used to flush the pipe, not including the faulting instruction.
The particular case I needed this was for a self-modifying code. It needed to
drain the store queue and force the following instruction to refetch from
icache. DCCMVAC cp15 mcr instruction is modified to raise this fault.
When decoding a srs instruction, invalid mode encoding returns invalid instruction.
This can happen when garbage instructions are fetched from mispredicted path
Allow some loads that update the base register to use just two micro-ops. three
micro-ops are only used if the destination register matches the offset register
or the PC is the destination regsiter. If the PC is updated it needs to be
the last micro-op otherwise O3 will mispredict.
