Steve Reinhardt ext:(%2C%20Nilay%20Vaish%20%3Cnilay%40cs.wisc.edu%3E%2C%20Ali%20Saidi%20%3CAli.Saidi%40ARM.com%3E) de366a16f1 sim: simulate with multiple threads and event queues
This patch adds support for simulating with multiple threads, each of
which operates on an event queue.  Each sim object specifies which eventq
is would like to be on.  A custom barrier implementation is being added
using which eventqs synchronize.

The patch was tested in two different configurations:
1. ruby_network_test.py: in this simulation L1 cache controllers receive
   requests from the cpu. The requests are replied to immediately without
   any communication taking place with any other level.
2. twosys-tsunami-simple-atomic: this configuration simulates a client-server
   system which are connected by an ethernet link.

We still lack the ability to communicate using message buffers or ports. But
other things like simulation start and end, synchronizing after every quantum
are working.

Steve Reinhardt a2c21d47a8 tests: suppress output on switcheroo tests
The output from the switcheroo tests is voluminous and
(because it includes timestamps) highly sensitive to
minor changes, leading to extremely large updates to the
reference outputs.  This patch addresses this problem
by suppressing output from the tests.  An internal
parameter can be set to enable the output.  Wiring that
up to a command-line flag (perhaps even the rudimantary
-v/-q options in m5/main.py) is left for future work.

Andreas Hansson c9a8b7b147 sim: Clarify the difference between tracing and debugging
This patch changes the name the command-line options related to debug
output to all start with "debug" rather than being a mix of that and
"trace". It also makes it clear that the breakpoint time is specified
in ticks and not in cycles.

Geoffrey Blake 15938e0492 config: Fix handling of parents for simobject vectors
SimObjectVector objects did not provide the same interface to
the _parent attribute through get_parent() like a normal
SimObject.  It also handled assigning a _parent incorrectly
if objects in a SimObjectVector were changed post-creation,
leading to errors later when the simulator tried to execute.
This patch fixes these two omissions.

Geoffrey Blake 3d582c767a config: Fix for port references generated multiple times
SimObjects are expected to only generate one port reference per
port belonging to them.  There is a subtle bug with using "not"
here as a VectorPort is seen as not having a reference if it is
either None or empty as per Python docs sec 9.9 for Standard operators.
Intended behavior is to only check if we have not created the reference.

Andreas Hansson fe5212f932 swig: Fix issue with circular import in 2.0.9/2.0.10
This patch fixes an issue which prevented gem5 from running when built
using swig 2.0.9 and 2.0.10. The generated event.py tried to import
m5.internal which in turn relied on importing event. This patch seems
to fix the problem, and so far has not caused any other issues.

Akash Bagdia e7e17f92db power: Add voltage domains to the clock domains
This patch adds the notion of voltage domains, and groups clock
domains that operate under the same voltage (i.e. power supply) into
domains. Each clock domain is required to be associated with a voltage
domain, and the latter requires the voltage to be explicitly set.

A voltage domain is an independently controllable voltage supply being
provided to section of the design. Thus, if you wish to perform
dynamic voltage scaling on a CPU, its clock domain should be
associated with a separate voltage domain.

The current implementation of the voltage domain does not take into
consideration cases where there are derived voltage domains running at
ratio of native voltage domains, as with the case where there can be
on-chip buck/boost (charge pumps) voltage regulation logic.

The regression and configuration scripts are updated with a generic
voltage domain for the system, and one for the CPUs.

Andreas Hansson 5c7ebee434 x86: Move APIC clock divider to Python
This patch moves the 16x APIC clock divider to the Python code to
avoid the post-instantiation modifications to the clock. The x86 APIC

required some custom functionality and configuration. With this patch,
the clock multiplier is moved to the Python code and the objects are
instantiated with the appropriate clock.

Sascha Bischoff 2f3b322280 base: Add warn() and inform() to m5.utils for use from python
This patch adds two fuctions to m5.util, warn and inform, which mirror those
found in the C++ side of gem5. These are added in addition to the already
existing m5.util.panic and m5.util.fatal which already mirror the C++
functionality. This ensures that warning and information messages generated
by python are in the same format as those generated by C++.

Occurrences of
    print "Warning: %s..." % name
have been replaced with

Andreas Sandberg b904bd5437 sim: Add a system-global option to bypass caches
Virtualized CPUs and the fastmem mode of the atomic CPU require direct
access to physical memory. We currently require caches to be disabled
when using them to prevent chaos. This is not ideal when switching
between hardware virutalized CPUs and other CPU models as it would
require a configuration change on each switch. This changeset
introduces a new version of the atomic memory mode,
'atomic_noncaching', where memory accesses are inserted into the
memory system as atomic accesses, but bypass caches.

To make memory mode tests cleaner, the following methods are added to
the System class:

 * isAtomicMode() -- True if the memory mode is 'atomic' or 'direct'.
 * isTimingMode() -- True if the memory mode is 'timing'.
 * bypassCaches() -- True if caches should be bypassed.

The old getMemoryMode() and setMemoryMode() methods should never be
used from the C++ world anymore.

Andreas Sandberg e5dca84c3f config: Move CPU handover logic to m5.switchCpus()
CPU switching consists of the following steps:
 1. Drain the system
 2. Switch out old CPUs (cpu.switchOut())
 3. Change the system timing mode to the mode the new CPUs require
 4. Flush caches if switching to hardware virtualization
 5. Inform new CPUs of the handover (cpu.takeOverFrom())
 6. Resume the system

m5.switchCpus() previously only did step 2 & 5. Since information
about the new processors' memory system requirements is now exposed,
do all of the steps above.

This patch adds automatic memory system switching and flush (if
needed) to switchCpus(). Additionally, it adds optional draining to
switchCpus(). This has the following implications:

* changeToTiming and changeToAtomic are no longer needed, so they have
  been removed.

* changeMemoryMode is only used internally, so it is has been renamed
  to be private.

* switchCpus requires a reference to the system containing the CPUs as
  its first parameter.

WARNING: This changeset breaks compatibility with existing
configuration scripts since it changes the signature of
m5.switchCpus().

Andreas Sandberg 10f1f8c6a4 base: Fix broken IPython argument handling
Prior to this changeset, we used to clear sys.argv before entering the
IPython shell. This caused some versions of IPython to crash because
they assume argv[0] to exist. The correct way of overriding the
arguments passed to IPython is to set the argv keyword argument when
initializing the shell.

Andreas Sandberg a7e0cbeb36 cpu: Introduce sanity checks when switching between CPUs
This patch introduces the following sanity checks when switching
between CPUs:

 * Check that the set of new and old CPUs do not overlap. Having an
   overlap between the set of new CPUs and the set of old CPUs is
   currently not supported. Doing such a switch used to result in the
   following assertion error:
     BaseCPU::takeOverFrom(BaseCPU*): \
       Assertion `!new_itb_port->isConnected()' failed.

 * Check that all new CPUs are in the switched out state.

 * Check that all old CPUs are in the switched in state.

Andreas Hansson 01c5598373 mem: Add interleaving bits to the address ranges
This patch adds support for interleaving bits for the address
ranges. What was previously just a start and end address, now has an
additional three fields, for the high bit, and number of bits to use
for interleaving, and a match value to compare against. If the number
of interleaving bits is set to zero it is effectively disabled.

A number of convenience functions are added to the range to enquire
about the interleaving, its granularity and the number of stripes it
is part of.

Andreas Hansson e6c57786a4 config: Traverse lists when visiting children in all proxy
This patch makes the all proxy traverse any potential list that is
encountered in the object hierarchy instead of only looking at
children that are SimObjects. An example of where this is useful is
when creating a multi-channel memory system as a list of controllers,
whilst ensuring that the memories are still visible in the system.

Andreas Sandberg 050f24c796 sim: Add drain methods to request additional cleanup operations
This patch adds the following two methods to the Drainable base class:

memWriteback() - Write back all dirty cache lines to memory using
functional accesses.

memInvalidate() - Invalidate memory system buffers. Dirty data
won't be written back.

Specifying calling memWriteback() after draining will allow us to
checkpoint systems with caches. memInvalidate() can be used to drop
memory system buffers in preparation for switching to an accelerated
CPU model that bypasses the gem5 memory system (e.g., hardware
virtualized CPUs).

Note: This patch only adds the methods to Drainable, the code for
flushing the TLB and the cache is committed separately.

doDrain() to drain().

Andreas Sandberg 196397fea4 sim: Reuse the code to change memory mode.
changeToAtomic and changeToTiming both do essentially the same thing,
they check the type of their input argument, drain the system, and
switch to the desired memory mode. This patch moves all of that code
to a separate method (changeMemoryMode) and calls that from both
changeToAtomic and changeToTiming.

Andreas Sandberg b81a977e6a sim: Move the draining interface into a separate base class
This patch moves the draining interface from SimObject to a separate
class that can be used by any object needing draining. However,
objects not visible to the Python code (i.e., objects not deriving
from SimObject) still depend on their parents informing them when to
drain. This patch also gets rid of the CountedDrainEvent (which isn't
really an event) and replaces it with a DrainManager.

Andreas Sandberg c0ab52799c sim: Include object header files in SWIG interfaces
When casting objects in the generated SWIG interfaces, SWIG uses
classical C-style casts ( (Foo *)bar; ). In some cases, this can
degenerate into the equivalent of a reinterpret_cast (mainly if only a
forward declaration of the type is available). This usually works for
most compilers, but it is known to break if multiple inheritance is
used anywhere in the object hierarchy.

This patch introduces the cxx_header attribute to Python SimObject
definitions, which should be used to specify a header to include in
the SWIG interface. The header should include the declaration of the
wrapped object. We currently don't enforce header the use of the
header attribute, but a warning will be generated for objects that do
not use it.

Andreas Sandberg 7e25052fee Partly revert [4f54b0f229b5] and move draining to m5.changeToTiming
Changeset 4f54b0f229b5 removed the call to doDrain in changeToTiming
based on the assumption that the system does not need draining when
running in atomic mode. This is a false assumption since at least the
System class requires the system to be drained before it allows
switching of memory modes. This patch reverts that part of the
changeset.

Andreas Hansson 8cc503f1dd Param: Fix proxy traversal to support chained proxies
This patch modifies how proxies are traversed and unproxied to allow
chained proxies. The issue that is solved manifested itself when a
proxy during its evaluation ended up being hitting another proxy, and
the second one got evaluated using the object that was originally used
for the first proxy.

For a more tangible example, see the following patch on making the
default clock being inherited from the parent. In this patch, the CPU
clock is a proxy Parent.clock, which is overridden in the system to be
an actual value. This all works fine, but the AlphaLinuxSystem has a
boot_cpu_frequency parameter that is Self.cpu[0].clock.frequency. When
the latter is evaluated, it all happens relative to the current object
of the proxy, i.e. the system. Thus the cpu.clock is evaluated as
Parent.clock, but using the system rather than the cpu as the object
to enquire.

Sascha Bischoff 74ab69c7ea Statistics: Add a function to configure periodic stats dumping
This patch adds a function, periodicStatDump(long long period), which will dump
and reset the statistics every period. This function is designed to be called
from the python configuration scripts. This allows the periodic stats dumping to
be configured more easilly at run time.

The period is currently specified as a long long as there are issues passing
Tick into the C++ from the python as they have conflicting definitions. If the
period is less than curTick, the first occurance occurs at curTick. If the
period is set to 0, then the event is descheduled and the stats are not
periodically dumped.

Due to issues when resumung from a checkpoint, the StatDump event must be moved
forward such that it occues AFTER the current tick. As the function is called
from the python, the event is scheduled before the system resumes from the
checkpoint. Therefore, the event is moved using the updateEvents() function.
This is called from simulate.py once the system has resumed from the checkpoint.

NOTE: It should be noted that this is a fairly temporary patch which re-adds the
capability to extract temporal information  from the communication monitors. It
should not be used at the same time as anything that relies on dumping the
statistics based on in simulation events i.e. a context switch.

Remove SimObject::setMemoryMode from the main SimObject class since it

the (get|set)MemoryMode method on the System object instead.

AddrRangeMap.

In addition to the obvious changes, including the removal of redundant
includes, this patch also does some house keeping in preparing for the
introduction of address interleaving support in the ranges. The Range
class is also stripped of all the functionality that is never used.

Andreas Hansson fccbf8bb45 AddrRange: Simplify AddrRange params Python hierarchy
This patch simplifies the Range object hierarchy in preparation for an

bits as matching in addition to the range).

To extend the AddrRange class to an AddrRegion, the first step is to
simplify the hierarchy such that we can make it as lean as possible
before adding the new functionality. The only class using Range and
MetaRange is AddrRange, and the three classes are now collapsed into
one.

Joel Hestness 234fa4cf7e Standard Switch: Drain the system before switching CPUs
When switching from an atomic CPU to any of the timing CPUs, a drain is
unnecessary since no events are scheduled in atomic mode. However, when
trying to switch CPUs starting with a timing CPU, there may be events
scheduled. This change ensures that all events are drained from the system
by calling m5.drain before switching CPUs.

Andreas Hansson 287ea1a081 Param: Transition to Cycles for relevant parameters

specified as Param.Cycles which involves some changes to params.py.

Andreas Hansson 0cacf7e817 Clock: Add a Cycles wrapper class and use where applicable
This patch addresses the comments and feedback on the preceding patch
that reworks the clocks and now more clearly shows where cycles
(relative cycle counts) are used to express time.

Instead of bumping the existing patch I chose to make this a separate
patch, merely to try and focus the discussion around a smaller set of
changes. The two patches will be pushed together though.

This changes done as part of this patch are mostly following directly
from the introduction of the wrapper class, and change enough code to
make things compile and run again. There are definitely more places
where int/uint/Tick is still used to represent cycles, and it will
take some time to chase them all down. Similarly, a lot of parameters
should be changed from Param.Tick and Param.Unsigned to
Param.Cycles.

In addition, the use of curTick is questionable as there should not be
an absolute cycle. Potential solutions can be built on top of this
patch. There is a similar situation in the o3 CPU where
lastRunningCycle is currently counting in Cycles, and is still an
absolute time. More discussion to be had in other words.

An additional change that would be appropriate in the future is to
perform a similar wrapping of Tick and probably also introduce a
Ticks class along with suitable operators for all these classes.

Andreas Hansson 01906f957a Config: Use the attribute naming and include ports in JSON
This patch changes the organisation of the JSON output slightly to
make it easier to traverse and use the files. Most importantly, the
hierarchical dictionaries now use keys that correspond to the
attribute names also in the case of VectorParams (used to be
e.f. "cpu0 cpu1"). It also adds the name and the path to each
SimObject directory entry. Before this patch, to get cpu0, you would
have to query dict['system']['cpu0 cpu1'][0] and this could be a dict
with 'cpu0' : { cpu parameters }. Now you use dict['system']['cpu'][0]
and get { cpu parameters } (where one is "name" : "cpu0").

Additionally this patch includes more verbose information about the
ports, specifying their role, and using a JSON array rather than a
concatenated string for the peer.

This patch turns the existing warning into a fatal, as there should

used to be, there are cases where the wrong number of C++ ports are
created when instantiating objects with VectorPorts (obviously that
could be fixed, but the better approach is to simply not allow it).

namespaces closed by a curcly brace followed by a semi-colon, and the
use of the GNU-extension typeof (replaced by templated functions). It

structs, range expressions in switch statements, and the use of long
long. The generated CPU code also has a large number of issues that
remain to be fixed, mainly related to overflows in implicit constant
conversion (due to shifts).

Andreas Hansson 88abdc0fad SWIG: Ensure ptrdiff_t is a known type in gcc >= 4.6.1
This patch fixes a compilation error that occurs with gcc >= 4.6.1,
caused by swig not including cstddef and not using the std:: namespace
prefix for ptrdiff_t. There is an old patch,
http://reviews.m5sim.org/r/913/ that no longer applies cleanly and
this might be re-iterating the same issue.

We work around the problem by always enforcing the inclusion of
cstddef in all swig interface declarations, and also by explicitly
using std::ptrdiff_t.

Andreas Hansson 63777fb23f MEM: Pass the ports from Python to C++ using the Swig params
This patch adds basic information about the ports in the parameter
classes to be passed from the Python world to the corresponding C++
object. Currently, the only information passed is the number of
connected peers, which for a Port is either 0 or 1, and for a
VectorPort reflects the size of the VectorPort. The default port of
the bus had to be renamed to avoid using the name "default" as a field
in the parameter class. It is possible to extend the Swig'ed
information further and add e.g. a pair with a description and size.

Andreas Hansson 5a9a743cfc MEM: Introduce the master/slave port roles in the Python classes
This patch classifies all ports in Python as either Master or Slave
and enforces a binding of master to slave. Conceptually, a master (such
as a CPU or DMA port) issues requests, and receives responses, and
conversely, a slave (such as a memory or a PIO device) receives
requests and sends back responses. Currently there is no
differentiation between coherent and non-coherent masters and slaves.

The classification as master/slave also involves splitting the dual
role port of the bus into a master and slave port and updating all the
system assembly scripts to use the appropriate port. Similarly, the
interrupt devices have to have their int_port split into a master and
slave port. The intdev and its children have minimal changes to
facilitate the extra port.

Note that this patch does not enforce any port typing in the C++
world, it merely ensures that the Python objects have a notion of the
port roles and are connected in an appropriate manner. This check is
carried when two ports are connected, e.g. bus.master =
memory.port. The following patches will make use of the
classifications and specialise the C++ ports into masters and slaves.

Koan-Sin Tan 7d4f187700 clang: Enable compiling gem5 using clang 2.9 and 3.0
This patch adds the necessary flags to the SConstruct and SConscript
files for compiling using clang 2.9 and later (on Ubuntu et al and OSX
XCode 4.2), and also cleans up a bunch of compiler warnings found by
clang. Most of the warnings are related to hidden virtual functions,
comparisons with unsigneds >= 0, and if-statements with empty
bodies. A number of mismatches between struct and class are also
fixed. clang 2.8 is not working as it has problems with class names
that occur in multiple namespaces (e.g. Statistics in
kernel_stats.hh).

clang has a bug (http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=7247) which
causes confusion between the container std::set and the function
Packet::set, and this is currently addressed by not including the
entire namespace std, but rather selecting e.g. "using std::vector" in
the appropriate places.

Andreas Hansson 55cf3f4ac1 MEM: Removing the default port peer from Python ports
In preparation for the introduction of Master and Slave ports, this
patch removes the default port parameter in the Python port and thus
forces the argument list of the Port to contain only the
description. The drawback at this point is that the config port and
dma port of PCI and DMA devices have to be connected explicitly. This
is key for future diversification as the pio and config port are
slaves, but the dma port is a master.

Andreas Hansson 59b7cad3ec SWIG: Make gem5 compile and link with swig 2.0.4
To make gem5 compile and run with swig 2.0.4 a few minor fixes are
necessary, the fail label issues by swig must not be treated as an
error by gcc (tested with gcc 4.2.1), and the vector wrappers must
have SWIGPY_SLICE_ARG defined which happens in pycontainer.swg,
included through std_container.i. By adding the aforementioned include
to the vector wrappers everything seems to work.

Steve Reinhardt 7b500f56ca SimObject: add export_method* hooks to export C++ methods to Python
Replace the (broken as of previous changeset) swig_objdecl() method
that allowed/forced you to substitute a whole new C++ struct
definition for SWIG to wrap with a set of export_method* hooks
that let you just declare a set of C++ methods (or other declarations)
that get inserted in the auto-generated struct.

Restore the System get/setMemoryMode methods, and use this mechanism
to specialize SimObject as well, eliminating teh need for sim_object.i.
Needed bits of sim_object.i are moved to the new pyobject.i.
Also sucked a little SimObject specialization into cxx_param_decl()
allowing us to get rid of src/sim/sim_object_params.hh.  Now the
generation and wrapping of the base SimObject param struct is more
in line with how derived objects are handled.

- Move the random bits of SWIG code generation out of src/SConscript

- Cleaned up some variable naming and added some comments to make
  the process a little clearer.
- Did a little generated file/module renaming:
   - vptype_Foo now Foo_vector
   - init_Foo is now Foo_init
  This makes it easier to see all the Foo-related files in a
  sorted directory listing.
- Made cxx_predecls and swig_predecls normal SimObject classmethods.
- Got rid of swig_objdecls hook, even though this breaks the System
  objects get/setMemoryMode method exports.  Will be fixing this in
  a future changeset.

Steve Reinhardt 41fc9bbab5 config: reinstate implicit parenting on parameter assignment
Last summer's big rewrite of the initialization code (in
particular cset 6efc3672733b) got rid of the implicit parenting
that used to occur when an unparented SimObject was assigned as
a parameter value to another SimObject.  The idea was that the
new adoptOrphanParams() step would catch these anyway so it was
unnecessary.

Unfortunately it turns out that adoptOrphanParams() has some
inherent instability in that the parent that does the adoption
depends on the config tree traversal order.  Even making this
order deterministic (e.g., by traversing children in
alphabetical order) can introduce unwanted and unexpected
hierarchy changes between similar configs (e.g., when adding a
switch_cpu in place of a cpu), causing problems when trying to
restore checkpoints across similar configs.  The hierarchy
created by implicit parenting is more stable and more
controllable, so this patch turns that behavior back on.

This patch also cleans up some long-standing holes regarding
parenting of SimObjects that are created in class definitions
(either in the body of the class, or as default parameters).

To avoid breaking some existing config files, this necessitated
changing the error on reparenting children to a warning.  This
change fixes another bug where attempting to print the prior
error message would fail on reparenting SimObjectVectors
because they lack a _parent attribute.  Some further issues
with SimObjectVectors were cleaned up by getting rid of the
get_parent() call (which could cause errors with some
SimObjectVectors where there was no single parent to return)
with has_parent() (since all the uses of get_parent() were just
boolean tests anyway).

Finally, since the adoptOrphanParam() step turned out to be so
problematic, we now issue a warning when it actually has to do
an adoption.  Future cleanup of config files will get rid of
current warnings.
