This change subtracts the time offset present in the trace from
all the event times when nodes and request are sent so that the
replay starts immediately when the simulation starts. This makes
the stats accurate when the time offset in traces is large, for
example when traces are generated in the middle of a workload
execution. It also solves the problem of unnecessary DRAM
refresh events that would keep occuring during the large time
offset before even a single request is replayed into the system.

This change adds a simple feature to scale the frequency of
the Trace CPU.
The compute delays in the input traces provide timing. This
change adds a freqency multiplier parameter to the Trace CPU
set to 1.0 by default. The compute delay is manipulated to
effectively achieve the frequency at which the nodes become
ready and thus scale the frequency of the Trace CPU.

This patch enables timing accesses for KVM cpu. A new state,
RunningMMIOPending, is added to indicate that there are outstanding timing
requests generated by KVM in the system. KVM's tick() is disabled and the
simulation does not enter into KVM until all outstanding timing requests have
completed. The main motivation for this is to allow KVM CPU to perform MMIO
in Ruby, since Ruby does not support atomic accesses.
Normal MMAPPED_IPR requests are allowed to execute speculatively under the
assumption that they have no side effects. The special case of m5ops that are
treated like MMAPPED_IPR should not be allowed to execute speculatively, since
they can have side-effects. Adding the STRICT_ORDER flag to these requests
blocks execution until the associated instruction hits the ROB head.
The quiesce family of magic ops can be simplified by the inclusion of
quiesceTick() and quiesce() functions on ThreadContext. This patch also
gets rid of the FS guards, since suspending a CPU is also a valid
operation for SE mode.
This patch introduces the DmaCallback helper class, which registers a callback
to fire after a sequence of (potentially non-contiguous) DMA transfers on a
DmaPort completes.
Connecting basic blocks would stop too early in kernels where ret was not the
last instruction. This patch allows basic blocks after the ret instruction
to be properly connected.
The receiver thread in dist_iface is allowed to directly exit the simulation.
This can cause exit to be called twice if the main thread simultaneously wants
to exit the simulation. Therefore, have the receiver thread enqueue a request
to exit on the primary event queue for the main simulation thread to handle.
Ethernet devices are currently only hooked up if running in FS mode. Much of
the Ethernet networking code is generic and can be used to build non-Ethernet
device models. Some of these device models do not require a complex driver
stack and can be built to use an EmulatedDriver in SE mode. This patch enables
etherent interfaces to properly connect regardless of whether the simulation
is in FS or SE mode.
Currently only 'start' and 'end' of AddrRange are printed in config.ini.
This causes address ranges to be overlapping when loading a c++-only
config with interleaved addresses using CxxConfigManger. This patch adds
prints for the interleave and XOR bits to config.ini such that address
ranges are properly setup with cxx config.
Add a customizable NoMali GPU model and an example Mali T760
configuration. Unlike the normal NoMali model (NoMaliGpu), the
NoMaliCustopmGpu model exposes all the important GPU ID registers to
Python. This makes it possible to implement custom GPU configurations
by without changing the underlying NoMali library.

Previously printing an mshr would trigger an assertion if the MSHR was
not in service or if the targets list was empty. This patch changes
the print function to bypasses the accessor functions for
postInvalidate and postDowngrade and avoid the relevant assertions. It

Secure and non-secure data can coexist in the cache and therefore the
snoop filter should treat differently packets with secure and non

This patch improves the snoop filter allocation decisions by not only
looking at whether a port is snooping or not, but also if the packet
actually came from a cache. The issue with only looking at isSnooping
is that the CPU ports, for example, are snooping, but not actually
caching. Previously we ended up incorrectly allocating entries in
systems without caches (such as the atomic and timing quick
regressions). Eventually these misguided allocations caused the snoop
filter to panic due to an excessive size.
On the request path we now include the fromCache check on the packet
itself, and for responses we check if we actually have a snoop-filter
entry.

This patch takes yet another step in maintaining the clusivity, in
that it allows a mostly-inclusive cache to hold on to blocks even when
responding to a ReadExReq or UpgradeReq. Previously the cache simply
invalidated these blocks, but there is no strict need to do so.
The most important part of this patch is that we simply mark the block
clean when satisfying the upstream request where the cache is allowed
to keep the block. The only tricky part of the patch is in the memory
management of deferred snoops, where we need to distinguish the cases
where only the packet was copied (we expected to respond), and the
cases where we created an entirely new packet and request (we kept it
only to replay later).
The code in satisfyRequest is definitely ready for some refactoring
after this.

This patch changes how the mostly exclusive policy is enforced to
ensure that we drop blocks when we should. As part of this change, the
actual invalidation due to the clusivity enforcement is moved outside
the hit handling, to a separate method maintainClusivity. For the
timing mode that means we can deal with all MSHR targets before taking
any action and possibly dropping the block. The method
satisfyCpuSideRequest is also renamed satisfyRequest as part of this
change (since we only ever see requests from the cpu-side port).
