This mostly was a matter of changing the license owner to Princeton
which is as it should have been. The code was originally licensed
under the GPL but was relicensed as BSD by Li-Shiuan Peh on July 27,
2009. This relicensing was in an explicit e-mail to Nathan Binkert,
Brad Beckmann, Mark Hill, David Wood, and Steve Reinhardt.
The movdqa instruction should enforce 16-byte alignment.
This implementation does not do that.
These instructions are needed for most of x86_64 spec2k to run.
The st_size entry was in the wrong place
(see linux-2.6.29/arch/x86/include/asm/stat.h )
Also, the packed attribute is needed when compiling on a
64-bit machine, otherwise gcc adds extra padding that
break the layout of the structure.
This adds support for the 32-bit, big endian Power ISA. This supports both
integer and floating point instructions based on the Power ISA Book I v2.06.
Glibc often assumes that memory it receives from the kernel after a brk
system call will contain only zeros. This is important during a calloc,
because it won't clear the new memory itself. In the simulator, if the
new page exists, it will be cleared using this patch, to mimic the kernel's
functionality.
I've tested these on x86 and they work as expected.
In theory for 32-bit x86 we should have some sort of special
handling for the legacy 16-bit uid/gid syscalls, but in practice
modern toolchains don't use the 16-bit versions, and m5 sets the uid
and gid values to be less than 16-bits anyway.
This fix is needed for the perl spec2k benchmarks to run.
When enabled, faulting instructions appear in the trace twice
(once when they fault and again when they're re-executed).
This flag is set by the Exec compound flag for backwards compatibility.
This prevents redundant prefetches from being issued, solving the
occasional 'needsExclusive && !blk->isWritable()' assertion failure
in cache_impl.hh that several people have run into.
Eliminates "prefetch_cache_check_push" flag, neither setting of
which really solved the problem.
This is simply a translation of the C++ slicc into python with very minimal
reorganization of the code. The output can be verified as nearly identical
by doing a "diff -wBur".
Slicc can easily be run manually by using util/slicc
Get rid of misc.py and just stick misc things in __init__.py
Move utility functions out of SCons files and into m5.util
Move utility type stuff from m5/__init__.py to m5/util/__init__.py
Remove buildEnv from m5 and allow access only from m5.defines
Rename AddToPath to addToPath while we're moving it to m5.util
Rename read_command to readCommand while we're moving it
Rename compare_versions to compareVersions while we're moving it.
