Changes so that InOrder can work for a non-delay-slot ISA like Alpha. Typically, changes have to do with handling misspeculated branches at different points in pipeline
Edit AlphaISA to support the inorder model. Mostly alternate constructor functions and also a few skeleton multithreaded support functions
* * *
Remove namespace from header file. Causes compiler issues that are hard to find
* * *
Separate the TLB from the CPU and allow it to live in the TLBUnit resource. Give CPU accessor functions for access and also bind at construction time
* * *
Expose memory access size and flags through instruction object
(temporarily memAccSize and memFlags to get TLB stuff working.)
This patch adds limited multithreading support in syscall-emulation
mode, by using the clone system call. The clone system call works
for Alpha, SPARC and x86, and multithreaded applications run
correctly in Alpha and SPARC.
This allows me to clean things up so we are up to date with respect to
deprecated features. There are many features scheduled for permanent failure
in scons 2.0 and 0.98.1 provides the most compatability for that. It
also paves the way for some nice new features that I will add soon
Bogus calls to ChunkGenerator with negative size were triggering
a new assertion that was added there.
Also did a little renaming and cleanup in the process.
I did some of the flags and assertions wrong. Thanks to Brad Beckmann
for pointing this out. I should have run the opt regressions instead
of the fast. I also screwed up some of the logical functions in the Flags
class.
the primary identifier for a hardware context should be contextId(). The
concept of threads within a CPU remains, in the form of threadId() because
sometimes you need to know which context within a cpu to manipulate.
SE. Process still keeps track of the tc's it owns, but registration occurs
with the System, this eases the way for system-wide context Ids based on
registration.
across the subclasses. generally make it so that member data is _cpuId and
accessor functions are cpuId(). The ID val comes from the python (default -1 if
none provided), and if it is -1, the index of cpuList will be given. this has
passed util/regress quick and se.py -n4 and fs.py -n4 as well as standard
switch.
the instruction after the hwrei to be fetched before the ITB/DTB_CM register is updated in a call pal
call sys and thus the translation fails because the user is attempting to access a super page address.
Minimally, it seems as though some sort of fetch stall or refetch after a hwrei is required. I think
this works currently because the hwrei uses the exec context interface, and the o3 stalls when that occurs.
Additionally, these changes don't update the LOCK register and probably break ll/sc. Both o3 changes were
removed since a great deal of manual patching would be required to only remove the hwrei change.
Make them easier to express by only having the cxx_type parameter which
has the full namespace name, and drop the cxx_namespace thing.
Add support for multiple levels of namespace.
Even though we're not incorrect about operator precedence, let's add
some parens in some particularly confusing places to placate GCC 4.3
so that we don't have to turn the warning off. Agreed that this is a
bit of a pain for those users who get the order of operations correct,
but it is likely to prevent bugs in certain cases.
We should always refer to the specific ISA in that arch directory.
This is especially necessary if we're ever going to make it to the
point where we actually have heterogeneous systems.
- insert warnings for deprecated m5ops
- reserve opcodes for Ali's stuff
- remove code for stuff that has been deprecated forever
- simplify m5op_alpha
This appears to work, but I don't want to commit it until it gets tested a lot more.
I haven't deleted the functionality in this patch that will come later, but one question
is how to enforce encourage objects that call getVirtPort() to not cache the virtual port
since if the CPU changes out from under them it will be worse than useless. Perhaps a null
function like delVirtPort() is still useful in that case.
SimObjects not yet updated:
- Process and subclasses
- BaseCPU and subclasses
The SimObject(const std::string &name) constructor was removed. Subclasses
that still rely on that behavior must call the parent initializer as
: SimObject(makeParams(name))

Move the argument files to src/sim and add a utility.cc file with a function
getArguments() that returns the given argument in the architecture specific fashion.
getArguments() was getArg() is the architecture specific Argument class and has had
all magic numbers replaced with meaningful constants. Also add a function to the
Argument class for testing if an argument is NULL.

Code was assuming that all argument registers followed in order from ArgumentReg0. There is now an ArgumentReg array which is indexed to find the right index. There is a constant, NumArgumentRegs, which can be used to protect against using an invalid ArgumentReg.
