This changeset contains a lot of different changes that are too
mingled to separate. They are:
1. Added MOESI_CMP_directory
I made the changes necessary to bring back MOESI_CMP_directory,
including adding a DMA controller. I got rid of MOESI_CMP_directory_m
and made MOESI_CMP_directory use a memory controller. Added a new
configuration for two level protocols in general, and
MOESI_CMP_directory in particular.
2. DMA Sequencer uses a generic SequencerMsg
I will eventually make the cache Sequencer use this type as well. It
doesn't contain an offset field, just a physical address and a length.
MI_example has been updated to deal with this.
3. Parameterized Controllers
SLICC controllers can now take custom parameters to use for mapping,
latencies, etc. Currently, only int parameters are supported.
Caches are now responsible for their own statistic gathering. This
requires a direct callback from the protocol on misses, and so all
future protocols need to take this into account.
The DMASequencer was still using a parameter from the old RubyConfig,
causing an offset error when the requested data wasn't block aligned.
This changeset also includes a fix to MI_example for a similar bug.
This was done with an automated process, so there could be things that were
done in this tree in the past that didn't make it. One known regression
is that atomic memory operations do not seem to work properly anymore.
Add the PROTOCOL sticky option sets the coherence protocol that slicc
will parse and therefore ruby will use. This whole process was made
difficult by the fact that the set of files that are output by slicc
are not easily known ahead of time. The easiest thing wound up being
to write a parser for slicc that would tell me. Incidentally this
means we now have a slicc grammar written in python.
1) Removing files from the ruby build left some unresovled
symbols. Those have been fixed.
2) Most of the dependencies on Simics data types and the simics
interface files have been removed.
3) Almost all mention of opal is gone.
4) Huge chunks of LogTM are now gone.
5) Handling 1-4 left ~hundreds of unresolved references, which were
fixed, yielding a snowball effect (and the massive size of this
delta).
