In SLICC, in order to define a type a data type for which it should not
generate any code, the keyword external_type is used. For those data types for
which code should be generated, the keyword structure is used. This patch
eliminates the use of keyword external_type for defining structures. structure
key word can now have an optional attribute external, which would be used for
figuring out whether or not to generate the code for this structure. Also, now
structures can have functions as well data members in them.
In order to add stall and wait facility for protocols, a keyword
wake_up_dependents was introduced. This patch removes the keyword,
instead this functionality is now implemented as function call.

wake_up_all_dependents was introduced. This patch removes the keyword,

Thanks to swig this was interfering with the standard Python
random module. The only function in that module was seed(),
which erroneously called srand48(). Moved the function to
m5.internal.core, renamed it seedRandom(), and made it call
random_mt.init() instead.
FastAlloc's reuse policies can mask allocation bugs, so
we typically want it disabled when debugging. Set
FORCE_FAST_ALLOC to enable even when debugging, and set
NO_FAST_ALLOC to disable even in non-debug builds.
The ISAR registers describe which features the processor supports.
Transcribe the values listed in section B5.2.5 of the ARM ARM
into the registers as read-only values
This change speeds up booting, especially in MP cases, by not executing
udelay() on the core but instead skipping ahead tha amount of time that is being
delayed.
This patch prevents not executed conditional instructions marked as
IsQuiesce from stalling the pipeline indefinitely. If the instruction
is not executed the quiesceSkip psuedoinst is called which schedules a
wakes up call to the fetch stage.
This changes the RFE macroop into 3 microops:
URa = [sp]; URb = [sp+4]; // load CPSR,PC values from stack
sp = sp + offset; // optionally auto-increment
PC = URa; CPSR = URb; // write to the PC and CPSR.
Importantly:
- writing to PC is handled in the last micro-op.
- loading occurs prior to state changes.
This change fixes the problem for all the cases we actively use. If you want to try
more creative I/O device attachments (E.g. sharing an L2), this won't work. You
would need another level of caching between the I/O device and the cache
(which you actually need anyway with our current code to make sure writes
propagate). This is required so that you can mark the cache in between as
top level and it won't try to send ownership of a block to the I/O device.
Asserts have been added that should catch any issues.
Without this change the a store can be issued to the cache multiple times.
If this case occurs when the l1 cache is out of mshrs (and thus blocked)
the processor will never make forward progress because each cycle it will
send a single request using the recently freed mshr and not completing the
multipart store. This will continue forever.
This causes a lot of rebuilds that could have otherwise possibly been
avoided, and, more annoyingly, a lot of unnecessary rerunning of the
regressions. The benefits of having the revision in the output haven't
materialized, so this change removes it.
None of the code in the ruby tester directory is compiled or referred to
outside of that directory. This change eliminates it. If it's needed in the
future, it can be revived from the history. In the mean time, this removes
clutter and the only use of the GEMS_ROOT scons variable.
The internet says this instruction was created by accident when an Intel CPU
failed to decode x87 instructions properly. It's been documented on a few rare
occasions and has generally worked to ensure backwards compatability. One
source claims that the gcc toolchain is basically the only thing that emits
it, and that emulators/binary translators like qemu and bochs implement it.
We won't actually implement it here since we're hardly implementing any other
x87 instructions either. If we were to implement it, it would behave the same
as ffree but then also pop the register stack.

There may not be a formally correct spelling for the past tense of mmap, but
mmapped is the spelling Google doesn't try to autocorrect. This makes sense
because it mirrors the past tense of map->mapped and not the past tense of
cape->caped.

At a couple of places in PerfectSwitch.cc and MessageBuffer.cc, DPRINTF()
has not been provided with correct number of arguments. The patch fixes these
bugs.
This patch removes the store buffer from Ruby. It is not in use currently.
Since libruby is being and store buffer makes calls to libruby, it is not
possible to maintain it until substantial changes are made.
This patch changes Address.hh so that it is not dependent on RubySystem.
This dependence seems unecessary. All those functions that depend on
RubySystem have been moved to Address.cc file.
This patch changes DataBlock.hh so that it is not dependent on RubySystem.
This dependence seems unecessary. All those functions that depende on
RubySystem have been moved to DataBlock.cc file.
This patch integrates permissions with cache and memory states, and then
automates the setting of permissions within the generated code. No longer
does one need to manually set the permissions within the setState funciton.
This patch will faciliate easier functional access support by always correctly
setting permissions for both cache and memory states.

Because int and not InstSeqNum was used in a couple of places, you can
overflow the int type and thus get wierd bugs when the sequence number
is negative (or some wierd value)
remove constructors that werent being used (it just gets confusing)
use initialization list for all the variables instead of relying on initVars()
function
