The generic timer needs a pointer to an ArmSystem to wire itself to the
system register handler. This was previously specified as an instance
of System that was later cast to ArmSystem. Make this more robust by
specifying it as an ArmSystem in the Python interface and add a check
to make sure that it is non-NULL.

This patch adds port direction names to the links during topology
creation, which can be used for better printed names for the links
or for users to code up their own adaptive routing algorithms.
It also adds support for every router to have an independent latency
value to support heterogeneous topologies with the subsequent
garnet2.0 patch.
This patch makes the internal links within the network topology
unidirectional, thus allowing any deadlock-free routing algorithms to
be specified from the topology itself using weights.
This patch also renames Mesh.py and MeshDirCorners.py to
Mesh_XY.py and MeshDirCorners_XY.py (Mesh with XY routing).
It also adds a Mesh_westfirst.py and CrossbarGarnet.py topologies.
networktest is essentially a collection of synthetic traffic patterns
for the network. The protocol name and the tester having the same name
led to multiple python configuration files with the same name, adding
confusion. This patch renames networktest to garnet_synthetic_traffic,
and also adds more synthetic traffic patterns.
Over the past 6 years, we realized that the protocol is essentially used
to run the garnet network in a standalone manner, and feed standard synthetic
traffic patterns through it.
Instead of scheduling another event, this patch adds a warning in case gdb
is attached multiple times and the first attachement event has not been
processed yet.
This patch adds a method to the Wavefront class to compute the actual workgroup
size. This can be different from the maximum workgroup size specified when
launching the kernel through the NDRange object. Current solution is still not
optimal, as we are computing these for each wavefront and the dispatcher also
needs to have this information and can't actually call
Wavefront::computeActuallWgSz before the wavefronts are being created. A long
term solution would be to have a Workgroup class that deals with all these
details.
When loading a checkpoint, it's sometimes desirable to be able to test
whether an entry within a secion exists. This is currently done
automatically in the UNSERIALIZE_OPT_SCALAR macro, but it isn't
possible to do for arrays, containers, or enums. Instead of adding
even more macros, add a helper function (CheckpointIn::entryExists())
that tests for the presence of an entry.

The drain did not wait until stages were ready again. Therefore, as a
result of messages in the TimeBuffer being drain, the state after the
drain was not consistent and asserts fired in some places when the
draining happened after a stage got blocked, but before the notification
arrived to the previous stages.

This patch adds methods to serialize the context of a particular wavefront
to the simulated system memory. Context serialization is used when a wavefront
is preempeted (i.e. context switch).
std::stack has no iterators, therefore the reconvergence stack can't be
iterated without poping elements off. We will be using std::list instead to be
able to iterate for saving and restoring purposes.
WFContext struct is currently unused and it has been rendered not useful in
saving and restoring the context of a Wavefront. Wavefront class should be
sufficient for that purpose and the runtime can figure out the memory size
it will need to allocate for a Wavefront through an IOCTL.
This change adds a Trace CPU param to exit simulation early,
i.e. when the first (any one) trace execution is complete. With
this change the user gets a choice to configure exit as either
when the last CPU finishes (default) or first CPU finishes
replay. Configuring an early exit enables simulating and
measuring stats strictly when memory-system resources are being
stressed by all Trace CPUs.

This change subtracts the time offset present in the trace from
all the event times when nodes and request are sent so that the
replay starts immediately when the simulation starts. This makes
the stats accurate when the time offset in traces is large, for
example when traces are generated in the middle of a workload
execution. It also solves the problem of unnecessary DRAM
refresh events that would keep occuring during the large time
offset before even a single request is replayed into the system.

This change adds a simple feature to scale the frequency of
the Trace CPU.
The compute delays in the input traces provide timing. This
change adds a freqency multiplier parameter to the Trace CPU
set to 1.0 by default. The compute delay is manipulated to
effectively achieve the frequency at which the nodes become
ready and thus scale the frequency of the Trace CPU.

This patch enables timing accesses for KVM cpu. A new state,
RunningMMIOPending, is added to indicate that there are outstanding timing
requests generated by KVM in the system. KVM's tick() is disabled and the
simulation does not enter into KVM until all outstanding timing requests have
completed. The main motivation for this is to allow KVM CPU to perform MMIO
in Ruby, since Ruby does not support atomic accesses.
Normal MMAPPED_IPR requests are allowed to execute speculatively under the
assumption that they have no side effects. The special case of m5ops that are
treated like MMAPPED_IPR should not be allowed to execute speculatively, since
they can have side-effects. Adding the STRICT_ORDER flag to these requests
blocks execution until the associated instruction hits the ROB head.
The quiesce family of magic ops can be simplified by the inclusion of
quiesceTick() and quiesce() functions on ThreadContext. This patch also
gets rid of the FS guards, since suspending a CPU is also a valid
operation for SE mode.
This patch introduces the DmaCallback helper class, which registers a callback
to fire after a sequence of (potentially non-contiguous) DMA transfers on a
DmaPort completes.
Connecting basic blocks would stop too early in kernels where ret was not the
last instruction. This patch allows basic blocks after the ret instruction
to be properly connected.
The receiver thread in dist_iface is allowed to directly exit the simulation.
This can cause exit to be called twice if the main thread simultaneously wants
to exit the simulation. Therefore, have the receiver thread enqueue a request
to exit on the primary event queue for the main simulation thread to handle.
Ethernet devices are currently only hooked up if running in FS mode. Much of
the Ethernet networking code is generic and can be used to build non-Ethernet
device models. Some of these device models do not require a complex driver
stack and can be built to use an EmulatedDriver in SE mode. This patch enables
etherent interfaces to properly connect regardless of whether the simulation
is in FS or SE mode.
Currently only 'start' and 'end' of AddrRange are printed in config.ini.
This causes address ranges to be overlapping when loading a c++-only
config with interleaved addresses using CxxConfigManger. This patch adds
prints for the interleave and XOR bits to config.ini such that address
ranges are properly setup with cxx config.
Add a customizable NoMali GPU model and an example Mali T760
configuration. Unlike the normal NoMali model (NoMaliGpu), the
NoMaliCustopmGpu model exposes all the important GPU ID registers to
Python. This makes it possible to implement custom GPU configurations
by without changing the underlying NoMali library.

Previously printing an mshr would trigger an assertion if the MSHR was
not in service or if the targets list was empty. This patch changes
the print function to bypasses the accessor functions for
postInvalidate and postDowngrade and avoid the relevant assertions. It
also checks if the targets list is empty before calling print on it.
