Specifically, get rid of the big switch statement so more cases can be
handled. Enumerating all the possible settings doesn't scale well. Also do
some minor style clean up.
Add constants for all the modes and registers, maps for aliasing, functions
that use the maps and range check, and use a named constant instead of a magic
number for the microcode register.
This problem is like the one fixed with movhpd a few weeks ago.
A +8 displacement is used to access memory when there should
be none.
This fix is needed for the perlbmk spec2k benchmark to run.
64-bit vsyscall is different than 32-bit.
There are only two syscalls, time and gettimeofday.
On a real system, there is complicated code that implements these
without entering the kernel. That would be complicated to implement in m5.
Instead we just place code that calls the regular syscalls (this is how
tools such as valgrind handle this case).
This is needed for the perlbmk spec2k benchmark.
These are complicated instructions and the micro-code might be suboptimal.
This has been tested with some small sample programs (attached)
The psrldq instruction is needed by various spec2k programs.
This patch implements the movd_Vo_Edp series of instructions.
It addresses various concerns by Gabe Black about which file the
instruction belonged in, as well as supporting REX prefixed
instructions properly.
This instruction is needed for some of the spec2k benchmarks, most
notably bzip2.
This patch implements the haddpd instruction.
It fixes the problem in the previous version (pointed out by Gabe Black)
where an incorrect result would happen if you issue the instruction
with the same argument twice, i.e. "haddpd %xmm0,%xmm0"
This instruction is used by many spec2k benchmarks.
This patch hooks up the truncate, ftruncate, truncate64 and ftruncate64
system calls on 32-bit and 64-bit X86.
These have been tested on both architectures.
ftruncate/ftruncate64 is needed for the f90 spec2k benchmarks.
When accessing arguments for a syscall, the position of an argument depends on
the policies of the ISA, how much space preceding arguments took up, and the
"alignment" of the index for this particular argument into the number of
possible storate locations. This change adjusts getSyscallArg to take its
index parameter by reference instead of value and to adjust it to point to the
possible location of the next argument on the stack, basically just after the
current one. This way, the rules for the new argument can be applied locally
without knowing about other arguments since those have already been taken into
account implicitly.
All system calls have also been changed to reflect the new interface. In a
number of cases this made the implementation clearer since it encourages
arguments to be collected in one place in order and then used as necessary
later, as opposed to scattering them throughout the function or using them in
place in long expressions. It also discourages using getSyscallArg over and
over to retrieve the same value when a temporary would do the job.
The movdqa instruction should enforce 16-byte alignment.
This implementation does not do that.
These instructions are needed for most of x86_64 spec2k to run.
The st_size entry was in the wrong place
(see linux-2.6.29/arch/x86/include/asm/stat.h )
Also, the packed attribute is needed when compiling on a
64-bit machine, otherwise gcc adds extra padding that
break the layout of the structure.
This adds support for the 32-bit, big endian Power ISA. This supports both
integer and floating point instructions based on the Power ISA Book I v2.06.
I've tested these on x86 and they work as expected.
In theory for 32-bit x86 we should have some sort of special
handling for the legacy 16-bit uid/gid syscalls, but in practice
modern toolchains don't use the 16-bit versions, and m5 sets the uid
and gid values to be less than 16-bits anyway.
This fix is needed for the perl spec2k benchmarks to run.
Get rid of misc.py and just stick misc things in __init__.py
Move utility functions out of SCons files and into m5.util
Move utility type stuff from m5/__init__.py to m5/util/__init__.py
Remove buildEnv from m5 and allow access only from m5.defines
Rename AddToPath to addToPath while we're moving it to m5.util
Rename read_command to readCommand while we're moving it
Rename compare_versions to compareVersions while we're moving it.
