f800f268db mem: Update DDR3 and DDR4 based on datasheets
This patch makes a more firm connection between the DDR3-1600
configuration and the corresponding datasheet, and also adds a
DDR3-2133 and a DDR4-2400 configuration. At the moment there is also
an ongoing effort to align the choice of datasheets to what is
available in DRAMPower.

cc4ca78f99 mem: Add DRAM cycle time
This patch extends the current timing parameters with the DRAM cycle
time. This is needed as the DRAMPower tool expects timestamps in DRAM
cycles. At the moment we could get away with doing this in a
post-processing step as the DRAMPower execution is separate from the
simulation run. However, in the long run we want the tool to be called
during the simulation, and then the cycle time is needed.

8e3869411d mem: Add precharge all (PREA) to the DRAM controller
This patch adds the basic ingredients for a precharge all operation,
to be used in conjunction with DRAM power modelling.

Currently we do not try and apply any cleverness when precharging all
banks, thus even if only a single bank is open we use PREA as opposed
to PRE. At the moment we only have a single tRP (tRPpb), and do not
model the slightly longer all-bank precharge constraint (tRPab).

60799dc552 mem: Merge DRAM latency calculation and bank state update
This patch merges the two control paths used to estimate the latency
and update the bank state. As a result of this merging the computation
is now in one place only, and should be easier to follow as it is all
done in absolute (rather than relative) time.

As part of this change, the scheduling is also refined to ensure that
we look at a sensible estimate of the bank ready time in choosing the
next request. The bank latency stat is removed as it ends up being
misleading when the DRAM access code gets evaluated ahead of time (due
to the eagerness of waking the model up for scheduling the next
request).

b8631d9ae8 mem: Add tWR to DRAM activate and precharge constraints
This patch adds the write recovery time to the DRAM timing
constraints, and changes the current tRASDoneAt to a more generic
preAllowedAt, capturing when a precharge is allowed to take place.

The part of the DRAM access code that accounts for the precharge and
activate constraints is updated accordingly.

87f4c956c4 mem: Add DRAM power states to the controller
This patch adds power states to the controller. These states and the
transitions can be used together with the Micron power model. As a
more elaborate use-case, the transitions can be used to drive the
DRAMPower tool.

At the moment, the power-down modes are not used, and this patch
simply serves to capture the idle, auto refresh and active modes. The
patch adds a third state machine that interacts with the refresh state
machine.

babf072c1c mem: Ensure DRAM refresh respects timings
This patch adds a state machine for the refresh scheduling to
ensure that no accesses are allowed while the refresh is in progress,
and that all banks are propely precharged.

As part of this change, the precharging of banks of broken out into a
method of its own, making is similar to how activations are dealt
with. The idle accounting is also updated to ensure that the refresh
duration is not added to the time that the DRAM is in the idle state
with all banks precharged.

5c2c3f598e mem: Make DRAM read/write switching less conservative
This patch changes the read/write event loop to use a single event
(nextReqEvent), along with a state variable, thus joining the two
control flows. This change makes it easier to follow the state
transitions, and control what happens when.

With the new loop we modify the overly conservative switching times
such that the write-to-read switch allows bank preparation to happen
in parallel with the bus turn around. Similarly, the read-to-write
switch uses the introduced tRTW constraint.

bf78299f04 cpu: Add flag name printing to StaticInst
This patch adds a the member function StaticInst::printFlags to allow all
of an instruction's flags to be printed without using the individual
is... member functions or resorting to exposing the 'flags' vector

It also replaces the enum definition StaticInst::Flags with a
Python-generated enumeration and adds to the enum generation mechanism
in src/python/m5/params.py to allow Enums to be placed in namespaces
other than Enums or, alternatively, in wrapper structs allowing them to
be inherited by other classes (so populating that class's name-space
with the enumeration element names).

fe27f937aa arch: teach ISA parser how to split code across files
This patch encompasses several interrelated and interdependent changes
to the ISA generation step.  The end goal is to reduce the size of the
generated compilation units for instruction execution and decoding so
that batch compilation can proceed with all CPUs active without
exhausting physical memory.

The ISA parser (src/arch/isa_parser.py) has been improved so that it can
accept 'split [output_type];' directives at the top level of the grammar
and 'split(output_type)' python calls within 'exec {{ ... }}' blocks.
This has the effect of "splitting" the files into smaller compilation
units.  I use air-quotes around "splitting" because the files themselves
are not split, but preprocessing directives are inserted to have the same
effect.

Architecturally, the ISA parser has had some changes in how it works.
In general, it emits code sooner.  It doesn't generate per-CPU files,
and instead defers to the C preprocessor to create the duplicate copies
for each CPU type.  Likewise there are more files emitted and the C
preprocessor does more substitution that used to be done by the ISA parser.

Finally, the build system (SCons) needs to be able to cope with a
dynamic list of source files coming out of the ISA parser. The changes
to the SCons{cript,truct} files support this. In broad strokes, the
targets requested on the command line are hidden from SCons until all
the build dependencies are determined, otherwise it would try, realize
it can't reach the goal, and terminate in failure. Since build steps
(i.e. running the ISA parser) must be taken to determine the file list,
several new build stages have been inserted at the very start of the
build. First, the build dependencies from the ISA parser will be emitted
to arch/$ISA/generated/inc.d, which is then read by a new SCons builder
to finalize the dependencies. (Once inc.d exists, the ISA parser will not
need to be run to complete this step.) Once the dependencies are known,
the 'Environments' are made by the makeEnv() function. This function used
to be called before the build began but now happens during the build.
It is easy to see that this step is quite slow; this is a known issue
and it's important to realize that it was already slow, but there was
no obvious cause to attribute it to since nothing was displayed to the
terminal. Since new steps that used to be performed serially are now in a
potentially-parallel build phase, the pathname handling in the SCons scripts
has been tightened up to deal with chdir() race conditions. In general,
pathnames are computed earlier and more likely to be stored, passed around,
and processed as absolute paths rather than relative paths.  In the end,
some of these issues had to be fixed by inserting serializing dependencies
in the build.

Minor note:
For the null ISA, we just provide a dummy inc.d so SCons is never
compelled to try to generate it. While it seems slightly wrong to have
anything in src/arch/*/generated (i.e. a non-generated 'generated' file),
it's by far the simplest solution.

85940fd537 arch, arm: Preserve TLB bootUncacheability when switching CPUs
The ARM TLBs have a bootUncacheability flag used to make some loads
and stores become uncacheable when booting in FS mode. Later the
flag is cleared to let those loads and stores operate as normal.  When
doing a takeOverFrom(), this flag's state is not preserved and is
momentarily reset until the CPSR is touched. On single core runs this
is a non-issue. On multi-core runs this can lead to crashes on the O3
CPU model from the following series of events:
 1) takeOverFrom executed to switch from Atomic -> O3
 2) All bootUncacheability flags are reset to true
 3) Core2 tries to execute a load covered by bootUncacheability, it
    is flagged as uncacheable
 4) Core2's load needs to replay due to a pipeline flush
 3) Core1 core does an action on CPSR
 4) The handling code for CPSR then checks all other cores
    to determine if bootUncacheability can be set to false
 5) Asynchronously set bootUncacheability on all cores to false
 6) Core2 replays load previously set as uncacheable and notices
    it is now flagged as cacheable, leads to a panic.
This patch implements takeOverFrom() functionality for the ARM TLBs
to preserve flag values when switching from atomic -> detailed.

e940bac278 mem: Auto-generate CommMonitor trace file names
Splits the CommMonitor trace_file parameter into three parameters. Previously,
the trace was only enabled if the trace_file parameter was set, and would be
written to this file. This patch adds in a trace_enable and trace_compress
parameter to the CommMonitor.

No trace is generated if trace_enable is set to False. If it is set to True, the
trace is written to a file based on the name of the SimObject in the simulation
hierarchy. For example, system.cluster.il1_commmonitor.trc. This filename can be
overridden by additionally specifying a file name to the trace_file parameter
(more on this later).

The trace_compress parameter will append .gz to any filename if set to True.
This enables compression of the generated traces. If the file name already ends
in .gz, then no changes are made.

The trace_file parameter will override the name set by the trace_enable
parameter. In the case that the specified name does not end in .gz but
trace_compress is set to true, .gz is appended to the supplied file name.

29601eada7 arm: Panics in miscreg read functions can be tripped by O3 model
Unimplemented miscregs for the generic timer were guarded by panics
in arm/isa.cc which can be tripped by the O3 model if it speculatively
executes a wrong path containing a mrs instruction with a bad miscreg
index. These registers were flagged as implemented and accessible.
This patch changes the miscreg info bit vector to flag them as
unimplemented and inaccessible. In this case, and UndefinedInst
fault will be generated if the register access is not trapped
by a hypervisor.

73dc89e542 arm: quick hack to allow a greater number of CPUs to a guest OS
This is a quick hack to communicate a greater number of CPUs to a guest OS via
the ARM A9 SCU config register. Some OSes (Linux) just look at the bottom field
to count CPUs and with a small change can look at bits [3:0] to learn about up
to 16 CPUs.

Very much unsupported (and contains warning messages as such) but useful for
running 8 core sims without hardwiring CPU count in the guest OS.
