8559081648 ruby: slicc: remove variable 'addr' used in calls to doTransition
This variable causes trouble if a variable of same name is declared in a
protocol file. Hence it is being eliminated.

4070b00875 ruby: add a three level MESI protocol.
The first two levels (L0, L1) are private to the core, the third level (L2)is
possibly shared. The protocol supports clustered designs.  For example, one
can have two sets of two cores. Each core has an L0 and L1 cache. There are
two L2 controllers where each set accesses only one of the L2 controllers.

5b1804e3bd ruby: add support for clusters
A cluster over here means a set of controllers that can be accessed only by a
certain set of cores.  For example,  consider a two level hierarchy. Assume
there are 4 L1 controllers (private) and 2 L2 controllers.  We can have two
different hierarchies here:

a. the address space is partitioned between the two L2 controllers.  Each L1
controller accesses both the L2 controllers.  In this case, each L1 controller
is a cluster initself.

b. both the L2 controllers can cache any address.  An L1 controller has access
to only one of the L2 controllers.  In this case, each L2 controller
along with the L1 controllers that access it, form a cluster.

This patch allows for each controller to have a cluster ID, which is 0 by
default.  By setting the cluster ID properly,  one can instantiate hierarchies
with clusters.  Note that the coherence protocol might have to be changed as
well.

d71311b1cf ruby: fix bugs in mesi cmp directory protocol
This patch fixes couple of bugs in the L2 controller of the mesi cmp
directory protocol.

1. The state MT_I was transitioning to NP on receiving a clean writeback
from the L1 controller.  This patch makes it inform the directory controller
about the writeback.

2. The L2 controller was sending the dirty bit to the L1 controller and the
L2 controller used writeback from the L1 controller to update the dirty bit
unconditionally.  Now, the L1 controller always assumes that the incoming
data is clean.  The L2 controller updates the dirty bit only when the L1
controller writes to the block.

3. Certain unused functions and events are being removed.

fc53f9ffcc ruby: slicc: replace max_in_port_rank with number of inports
This patch replaces max_in_port_rank with the number of inports.  The use of
max_in_port_rank was causing spurious re-builds and incorrect initialization
of variables in ruby related regression tests.  This was due to the variable
value being used across threads while compiling when it was not meant to be.

Since the number of inports is state machine specific value, this problem
should get solved.

f5b52a265a ruby: mesi: remove owner and sharer fields from directory tags
The directory controller should not have the sharer field since there is
only one level 2 cache. Anyway the field was not in use.  The owner field
was being used to track the l2 cache version (in case of distributed l2) that
has the cache block under consideration.  The information is not required
since the version of the level 2 cache can be obtained from a subset of the
address bits.

bb572663cf mem: Add a simple adaptive version of the open-page policy
This patch adds a basic adaptive version of the open-page policy that
guides the decision to keep open or close by looking at the contents
of the controller queues. If no row hits are found, and bank conflicts
are present, then the row is closed by means of an auto
precharge. This is a well-known technique that should improve
performance in most use-cases.

8bc855fa15 mem: Make tXAW enforcement less conservative and per rank
This patch changes the tXAW constraint so that it is enforced per rank
rather than globally for all ranks in the channel. It also avoids
using the bank freeAt to enforce the activation limit, as doing so
also precludes performing any column or row command to the
DRAM. Instead the patch introduces a new variable actAllowedAt for the
banks and use this to track when a potential activation can occur.

10e8978ec0 mem: Pick the next DRAM request based on bank availability
This patch changes the FCFS bit of FR-FCFS such that requests that
target the earliest available bank are picked first (as suggested in

add functionality to identify a bank through a one-dimensional
identifier (bank id). The member names of the DRAMPacket are also
update to match the style guide.

be62a142cf mem: Schedule time for DRAM event taking tRAS into account
This patch changes the time the controller is woken up to take the
next scheduling decisions. tRAS is now handled in estimateLatency and
doDRAMAccess and we do not need to worry about it at scheduling
time. The earliest we need to wake up is to do a pre-charge, row
access and column access before the bus becomes free for use.

previous behaviour and will be updated later.

2b9b245fb3 ruby: set SenderMachine in messages of MOESI_CMP_directory
This patch adds missing initializations of the SenderMachine field of
out_msg's when thery are created in the L2 cache controller of the
MOESI_CMP_directory coherence protocol. When an out_msg is created and this
field is left uninitialized, it is set to the default value MachineType_NUM.
This causes a panic in the MachineType_to_string function when gem5 is
executed with the Ruby debug flag on and it tries to print the message.

80fa6a0edc ruby: Fixed a deadlock when restoring a checkpoint with garnet
This patch fixes a problem where in Garnet, the enqueue time in the
VCallocator and the SWallocator which is of type Cycles was being stored
inside a variable with int type.

This lead to a known problem restoring checkpoints with garnet & the fixed
pipeline enabled. That value was really big and didn't fit in the variable
overflowing it, therefore some conditions on the VC allocation stage & the
SW allocation stage were not met and the packets didn't advance through the
network, leading to a deadlock panic right after the checkpoint was restored.

b10ff075b1 ruby: eliminate non-determinism from ruby.stats output
Get rid of non-deterministic "stats" in ruby.stats output
such as time & date of run, elapsed & CPU time used,
and memory usage.  These values cause spurious
miscomparisons when looking at output diffs (though
they don't affect regressions, since the regressions
pass/fail status currently ignores ruby.stats entirely).

Most of this information is already captured in other
places (time & date in stdout, elapsed time & mem usage
in stats.txt), where the regression script is smart
enough to filter it out.  It seems easier to get rid of
the redundant output rather than teaching the
regression tester to ignore the same information in
two different places.

cc155ffa0d ruby: Fix Topology throttle connections
The Topology source sets up input and output buffers for each of the external
nodes of a topology by indexing on Ruby's generated controller unique IDs.
These unique IDs are found by adding the MachineType_base_number to the version
number of each controller (see any generated *_Controller.cc - init() calls
getToNetQueue and getFromNetQueue using m_version + base). However, the
Topology object used the cntrl_id - which is required to be unique across all
controllers - to index the controllers list as they are being connected to
their input and output buffers. If the cntrl_ids did not match the Ruby unique
ID, the throttles end up connected to incorrectly indexed nodes in the network,
resulting in packets traversing incorrect network paths. This patch fixes the
Topology indexing scheme by using the Ruby unique ID to match that of the
SimpleNetwork buffer vectors.

c1cf55c738 ruby: Statically allocate stats in SimpleNetwork, Switch, Throttle
The previous changeset (9863:9483739f83ee) used STL vector containers to
dynamically allocate stats in the Ruby SimpleNetwork, Switch and Throttle. For
gcc versions before at least 4.6.3, this causes the standard vector allocator
to call Stats copy constructors (a no-no, since stats should be allocated in
the body of each SimObject instance). Since the size of these stats arrays is
known at compile time (NOTE: after code generation), this patch changes their
allocation to be static rather than using an STL vector.

19a5b68db7 arch: Resurrect the NOISA build target and rename it NULL
This patch makes it possible to once again build gem5 without any

no regressions make use of it, but all the testers could (and perhaps
should) transition to it.

b63631536d stats: Cumulative stats update
This patch updates the stats to reflect the: 1) addition of the
internal queue in SimpleMemory, 2) moving of the memory class outside
FSConfig, 3) fixing up of the 2D vector printing format, 4) specifying
burst size and interface width for the DRAM instead of relying on
cache-line size, 5) performing merging in the DRAM controller write
buffer, and 6) fixing how idle cycles are counted in the atomic and
timing CPU models.

The main reason for bundling them up is to minimise the changeset
size.
