Several large changes happen in this patch.
The FDEntry class is rewritten so that file descriptors now correspond to
types: 'File' which is normal file-backed file with the file open on the
host machine, 'Pipe' which is a pipe that has been opened on the host machine,
and 'Device' which does not have an open file on the host yet acts as a pseudo
device with which to issue ioctls. Other types which might be added in the
future are directory entries and sockets (off the top of my head).
The FDArray class was create to hold most of the file descriptor handling
that was stuffed into the Process class. It uses shared pointers and
the std::array type to hold the FDEntries mentioned above.
The changes to these two classes needed to be propagated out to the rest
of the code so there were quite a few changes for that. Also, comments were
added where I thought they were needed to help others and extend our
DOxygen coverage.
Moves aux_vector into its own .hh and .cc files just to get it out of the
already crowded Process files. Arguably, it could stay there, but it's
probably better just to move it and give it files.
The changeset looks ugly around the Process header file, but the goal here is
to move methods and members around so that they're not defined randomly
throughout the entire header file. I expect this is likely one of the reasons
why I several unused variables related to this class. So, the methods are
declared first followed by members. I've tried to aggregate them together
so that similar entries reside near one another.
There are other changes coming to this code so this is by no means the
final product.
The numCpus method is misleading in that it's not really a measure of
how many CPUs might be executing a process, but how many thread contexts
are assigned to the process at any given point in time.
It's nice to highlight this distinction because thread contexts are never
reused in the same way that a CPU can be reused for multiple processes.
The reason that there is no reuse is that there is no CPU scheduler for SE.
The tru64 code intends to use this method and the accompanying contextIDs
field to support SMT and track the number of threads with some system calls.
With the up coming clone and exec patches, this paradigm must change. There
needs to be a 1:1 mapping between the thread contexts and processes so that
the process state between threads is allowed to vary when needed by Linux.
This should not break SMT for tru64 if the Process class is refactored so that
multiple Processes can share state between themselves. The following patches
will do the refactoring incrementally as features are added.
It looks like tru64 has some nxm* system calls, but the two fields that
are defined in the Process class are unused by any of the code. There doesn't
appear to be any reference in the tru64 code.
The EIOProcess class was removed recently and it was the only other class
which derived from Process. Since every Process invocation is also a
LiveProcess invocation, it makes sense to simplify the organization by
combining the fields from LiveProcess into Process.
Turns out that SPARC SE mode relied on M5_pid being "0" in
all cases. The entries in the SPARC TLBs are accessed with
M5_pid as their context. This is buggy in the sense that it
will never work with more than one process or any
initialization that doesn't have the M5_pid value passed in
as "0".
cd7f3a1dbf55 broke the SPARC build because it deletes M5_pid
and uses a _pid with a default of "100" instead. This caused
the SPARC TLB to never return any valid lookups for any
request; the program never moved past the first instruction
with SPARC SE in the regression tester.
The solution proposed in this changeset is to initialize
the address space identification register with the PID value
that is passed into the process class as a parameter from
Python. This should return the correct responses from the TLB
since the insertions and lookups into the page table will be
using the same PID.
Furthermore, there are corner cases in the code which elevate
privileges and revert to using context "0" as the context in
the TLB. I believe that these are related to kernel level
traps and hypervisor privilege escalations, but I'm not
completely sure. I've tried to address the corner cases
properly, but it would be beneficial to have someone who is
familiar with the SPARC architecture to take a look at this
fix.

Assertion in the respondEvent erroneously fired.
The assertion verifies that the controller has not moved to a low-power
state prior to receiving read data from the memory.
The original assertion triggered if the state was not:
PWR_IDLE or PWR_ACT.
In the case that failed, a periodic refresh event occurred around the
read. The REF is stalled until the final read burst is issued
and the subsequent PRE closes the bank. While the PRE will temporarily
move the state to PWR_IDLE, state will immediately transition to PWR_REF
due to the pending refresh operation. This state does not match the
assertion, which is subsequently triggered.
Fixed the assertion by explicitly checking that the state is not a low
power state

When in 64-bit mode, if the stack is accessed implicitly by an instruction
the alternate address prefix should be ignored if present.
This patch adds an extra flag to the ldstop which signifies when the
address override should be ignored. Then, for all of the affected
instructions, this patch adds two options to the ld and st opcode to use
the current stack addressing mode for all addresses and to ignore the
AddressSizeFlagBit. Finally, this patch updates the x86 TLB to not
truncate the address if it is in 64-bit mode and the IgnoreAddrSizeFlagBit
is set.
This fixes a problem when calling __libc_start_main with a binary that is
linked with a recent version of ld. This version of ld uses the address
override prefix (0x67) on the call instruction instead of a nop.
Note: This has not been tested in compatibility mode and only the call
instruction with the address override prefix has been tested.

The CxxConfigManager schould create objects by traversing the object tree
starting from the root object. However, currently objects are created in
aplphabetical order, which only works if the root object alphabetically
comes before any system object (e.g. 'root' < 'system'. Otherwise (e.g.
'a_system' < 'root'), object construction may fail. The reason for this
behaviour is, that the call to findObject() in the sorting code also
constructs the object if it is not yet existent. Then findTraversalOrder()
calls findObject("root") and subseqeuently calls findObject() on all the
children, and so on. However, the call to findTraversalOrder() is
redundant, since all objects are already created in alphabetical order.
This patch simply removes the alphabetical ordering, leading to the objects
being created starting from 'root'.

Garnet's NetworkInterface does not consider the size of MessageBuffers when
ejecting a Message from the network. Add a size check for the MessageBuffer
and only enqueue if space is available. If space is not available, the
message if placed in a queue and the credit is held. A callback from the
MessageBuffer is implemented to wake the NetworkInterface. If there are
messages in the stalled queue, they are processed first, in a FIFO manner
and if succesfully ejected, the credit is finally sent back upstream. The
maximum size of the stall queue is equal to the number of valid VNETs
with MessageBuffers attached.
This patch is an updated version of /r/3297.
"The most important statistic for measuring memory hierarchy performance is
throughput, which is affected by independent variables, buffer sizing and
communication latency. It is difficult/impossible to debug performance issues
through series buffers without knowing which are the bottlenecks. For finite
buffers, this patch adds statistics for the average number of messages in the
buffer, the occupancy of the buffer slots, and number of message stalls."
The NetworkInterface wakeup currently iterates over all VNETs and breaks the
loop if a VNET is unable to allocate a VC. This can cause a deadlock if a
lower numbered VNET is unable to allocate a VC while a higher numbered VNET
has idle VCs. This seems like a bug as Garnet 1.0 uses a while loop over an
if-statement, suggesting the break was intended for this while loop. This
patch removes the break statement, which allows up to one message to be
dequeued from a VNET and injected into the network.

When restoring from a checkpoint, the simulation used to use file handles from

The Minor and o3 cpu models share the branch prediction
code. Minor relies on the BPredUnit::squash() function
to update the branch predictor tables on a branch mispre-
diction. This is fine because Minor executes in-order, so
the update is on the correct path. However, this causes the
branch predictor to be updated on out-of-order branch
mispredictions when using the o3 model, which should not
be the case.
This patch guards against speculative update of the branch
prediction tables. On a branch misprediction, BPredUnit::squash()
calls BpredUnit::update(..., squashed = true). The underlying
branch predictor tests against the value of squashed. If it is
true, it restores any speculatively updated internal state
it might have (e.g., global/local branch history), then returns.
If false, it updates its prediction tables. Previously, exist-
ing predictors did not test against the "squashed" parameter.
To accomodate for this change, the Minor model must now call
BPredUnit::squash() then BPredUnit::update(..., squashed = false)
on branch mispredictions. Before, calling BpredUnit::squash()
performed the prediction tables update.
The effect is a slight MPKI improvement when using the o3
model. A further patch should perform the same modifications
for the indirect target predictor and BTB (less critical).

1) When the response is coming from the memory-side port, its order
with respect to other responses is not necessarily preserved (e.g., a
request that arrived second to the xbar can get its response first). As
a result the snoopFilter might process responses out of order updating
its residency information using the non valid hasSharers flag which was

2) When the response is from an on-chip, the MSHRs preserve a well

Previously, a WriteLineReq that missed in a cache would send out an
InvalidateReq if the block lookup failed or an UpgradeReq if the
block lookup succeeded but the block had sharers. This changes ensures
that a WriteLineReq always sends an InvalidateReq to invalidate all
copies of the block and satisfy the WriteLineReq.

This patch fixes an issue where an MSHR would incorrectly be perceived
to provide data to targets arriving after an InvalidateReq. To address
this the InvalidateReq is now treated as isForward, much like an
UpgradeReq that did not hit in the cache.

A response to a ReadReq can either be a ReadResp or a
ReadRespWithInvalidate. As we add targets to an MSHR for a ReadReq we
assume that the response will be a ReadResp. When the response is
invalidating (ReadRespWithInvalidate) servicing more than one targets
can potentially violate the memory ordering. This change fixes the way
we handle a ReadRespWithInvalidate. When a cache receives a
ReadRespWithInvalidate we service only the first FromCPU target and
all the FromSnoop targets from the MSHR target list. The rest of the
FromCPU targets are deferred and serviced by a new request.

Previously the information of whether a response was allocating or not
was a property of the MSHR. This change makes this flag a property of
the TargetList. Differernt TargetLists, e.g. the targets and the
deferred targets lists might have different values. Additionally, the
information about whether each of the target expects an allocating
response is stored inside the TargetList container. This allows for
repopulating the flag in case some of the targets are removed.

HSA functions calls are still not supported properly with HSAIL, but
the recent AMP runtime modifications rely on being able to parse the
BRIG/HSAIL files that are extracted from the application binaries.
We need to parse the function call HSAIL definitions, but we do not
actually need to make the function calls.
The reason that this happens is that HCC appends a set of routines
to every HSAIL binary that it creates. These extra, unnecessary
routines exist in the HCC source as a file; this file is cat'd onto
everything that the compiler outputs before being assembled into the
application's binary. HCC does this because it might call these helper
functions. However, it doesn't actually appear to do so in the AMP
codes so we just parse these functions with the HSAIL parser and
then ignore them.
it's possible for the offset provided to an HSAIL mem inst to be a negative
value, however the variable we use to hold the offset is an unsigned type.
this can lead to excessively large offset values when the offset is negative,
which will almost certainly cause the access to go out of bounds.
In MessageBuffer the m_not_avail_count member is incremented but not used.
This causes an overflow reported by ASAN. This patch changes from an int to
Stats::Scalar, since the count is useful in debugging finite MessageBuffers.
RISC-V makes use of load-reserved and store-conditional instructions to
enable creation of lock-free concurrent data manipulation as well as
ACQUIRE and RELEASE semantics for memory ordering of LR, SC, and AMO
instructions (the latter of which do not follow LR/SC semantics). This
patch is a correction to patch 4, which added these instructions to the
implementation of RISC-V. It modifies locked_mem.hh and the
implementations of lr.w, sc.w, lr.d, and sc.d to apply the proper gem5
flags and return the proper values.
An important difference between gem5's LLSC semantics and RISC-V's LR/SC
ones, beyond the name, is that gem5 uses 0 to indicate failure and 1 to
indicate success, while RISC-V is the opposite. Strictly speaking, RISC-V
uses 0 to indicate success and nonzero to indicate failure where the
value would indicate the error, but currently only 1 is reserved as a
failure code by the ISA reference.
This is the seventh patch in the series which originally consisted of five
patches that added the RISC-V ISA to gem5. The original five patches added
all of the instructions and added support for more detailed CPU models and
the sixth patch corrected the implementations of Linux constants and
structs. There will be an eighth patch that adds some regression tests
for the instructions.

This is an add-on patch for the original series that implemented RISC-V
that improves the implementation of Linux emulation for SE mode. Basically
it cleans up linux/linux.hh by removing constants that haven't been
defined for the RISC-V Linux proxy kernel and rearranging the stat
struct so it aligns with RISC-V's implementation of it. It also adds
placeholders for system calls that have been given numbers in RISC-V
but haven't been given implementations yet. These system calls are
as follows:
- readlinkat
- sigprocmask
- ioctl
- clock_gettime
- getrusage
- getrlimit
- setrlimit
The first five patches implemented RISC-V with the base ISA and multiply,
floating point, and atomic extensions and added support for detailed
CPU models with memory timing.

Last of five patches adding RISC-V to GEM5. This patch adds support for
timing, minor, and detailed CPU models that was missing in the last four,
which basically consists of handling timing-mode memory accesses and
telling the minor and detailed models what a no-op instruction should
be (addi zero, zero, 0).
Patches 1-4 introduced RISC-V and implemented the base instruction set,
RV64I, and added the multiply, floating point, and atomic memory
extensions, RV64MAFD.

Fourth of five patches adding RISC-V to GEM5. This patch adds the RV64A
extension, which includes atomic memory instructions. These instructions
atomically read a value from memory, modify it with a value contained in a
source register, and store the original memory value in the destination
register and modified value back into memory. Because this requires two
memory accesses and GEM5 does not support two timing memory accesses in
a single instruction, each of these instructions is split into two micro-
ops: A "load" micro-op, which reads the memory, and a "store" micro-op,
which modifies and writes it back. Each atomic memory instruction also has
two bits that acquire and release a lock on its memory location.
Additionally, there are atomic load and store instructions that only either
load or store, but not both, and can acquire or release memory locks.
Note that because the current implementation of RISC-V only supports one
core and one thread, it doesn't make sense to make use of AMO instructions.
However, they do form a standard extension of the RISC-V ISA, so they are
included mostly as a placeholder for when multithreaded execution is
implemented. As a result, any tests for their correctness in a future
patch may be abbreviated.
Patch 1 introduced RISC-V and implemented the base instruction set, RV64I;
patch 2 implemented the integer multiply extension, RV64M; and patch 3
implemented the single- and double-precision floating point extensions,
RV64FD.
Patch 5 will add support for timing, minor, and detailed CPU models that
isn't present in patches 1-4.
[Added missing file amo.isa]
[Replaced information removed from initial patch that was missed during
division into multiple patches.]
[Fixed some minor formatting issues.]
[Fixed oversight where LR and SC didn't have both AQ and RL flags.]
