This patch moves the draining interface from SimObject to a separate
class that can be used by any object needing draining. However,
objects not visible to the Python code (i.e., objects not deriving
from SimObject) still depend on their parents informing them when to
drain. This patch also gets rid of the CountedDrainEvent (which isn't
really an event) and replaces it with a DrainManager.
This patch moves the clock of the CPU, bus, and numerous devices to
the new class ClockedObject, that sits in between the SimObject and
MemObject in the class hierarchy. Although there are currently a fair
amount of MemObjects that do not make use of the clock, they
potentially should do so, e.g. the caches should at some point have
the same clock as the CPU, potentially with a 1:n ratio. This patch
does not introduce any new clock objects or object hierarchies
(clusters, clock domains etc), but is still a step in the direction of
having a more structured approach clock domains.
The most contentious part of this patch is the serialisation of clocks
that some of the modules (but not all) did previously. This
serialisation should not be needed as the clock is set through the
parameters even when restoring from the checkpoint. In other words,
the state is "stored" in the Python code that creates the modules.
The nextCycle methods are also simplified and the clock phase
parameter of the CPU is removed (this could be part of a clock object
once they are introduced).
This patch is the result of static analysis identifying a number of
memory leaks. The leaks are all benign as they are a result of not
deallocating memory in the desctructor. The fix still has value as it
removes false positives in the static analysis.
This patch cleans up a number of minor issues aiming to get closer to
compliance with the C++0x standard as interpreted by gcc and clang
(compile with std=c++0x and -pedantic-errors). In particular, the
patch cleans up enums where the last item was succeded by a comma,
namespaces closed by a curcly brace followed by a semi-colon, and the
use of the GNU-extension typeof (replaced by templated functions). It
does not address variable-length arrays, zero-size arrays, anonymous
structs, range expressions in switch statements, and the use of long
long. The generated CPU code also has a large number of issues that
remain to be fixed, mainly related to overflows in implicit constant
conversion (due to shifts).
At the same time, rename the trace flags to debug flags since they
have broader usage than simply tracing. This means that
--trace-flags is now --debug-flags and --trace-help is now --debug-help
creation and initialization now happens in python. Parameter objects
are generated and initialized by python. The .ini file is now solely for
debugging purposes and is not used in construction of the objects in any
way.
