Orphan SimObjects (not in the config hierarchy) could get
created implicitly if they have a port connection to a SimObject
that is in the hierarchy. This means that there are objects on
the C++ SimObject list (created via the C++ SimObject
constructor call) that are unknown to Python and will get
skipped if we walk the hierarchy from the Python side (as we are
about to do). This patch detects this situation and prints an
error message.
Also fix the rubytester config script which happened to rely on
this behavior.
Enforce that the Python Root SimObject is instantiated only
once. The C++ Root object already panics if more than one is
created. This change avoids the need to track what the root
object is, since it's available from Root.getInstance() (if it
exists). It's now redundant to have the user pass the root
object to functions like instantiate(), checkpoint(), and
restoreCheckpoint(), so that arg is gone. Users who use
configs/common/Simulate.py should not notice.
Clean up some minor things left over from the default responder
change in rev 9af6fb59752f. Mostly renaming the 'responder_set'
param to 'use_default_range' to actually reflect what it does...
old name wasn't that descriptive in the first place, but now
it really doesn't make sense at all.
Also got rid of the bogus obsolete assignment to 'bus.responder'
which used to be a parameter but now is interpreted as an
implicit child assignment, and which was giving me problems in
the config restructuring to come. (A good argument for not
allowing implicit child assignments, IMO, but that's water under
the bridge, I'm afraid.)
Also moved the Bus constructor to the .cc file since that's
where it should have been all along.
printMemData is only used in DPRINTFs. If those are removed by compiling
m5.fast, that function is unused, gcc generates a warning, that gets turned
into an error, and the build fails. This change surrounds the function
definition with #if TRACING_ON so it only gets compiled in if the DPRINTFs do
to.
When a request is NO_ACCESS (x86 CDA microinstruction), the memory op
doesn't go to the cache, so TimingSimpleCPU::completeDataAccess needs
to handle the case where the current status of the CPU is Running
and not DcacheWaitResponse or DTBWaitResponse
switching between O3 and another CPU, O3's tick event might still be scheduled
in the event queue (as squashed). Therefore, check for a squashed tick event
as well as a non-scheduled event when taking over from another CPU and deal
with it accordingly.
It would be nice if python had a tree class that would do this for real,
but since we don't, we'll just keep a sorted list of keys and update
it on demand.
If the user sets the environment variable M5_OVERRIDE_PY_SOURCE to
True, then imports that would normally find python code compiled into
the executable will instead first check in the absolute location where
the code was found during the build of the executable. This only
works for files in the src (or extras) directories, not automatically
generated files.
This is a developer feature!
This tidbit was pulled from a larger patch for Tim's sake, so
the comment reflects functions that haven't been exported yet.
I hope to commit them soon so it didn't seem worth cleaning up.
m5 doesnt do stats specific to binary and this resource request stat is probably only
useful for people who really know the ins/outs of the model anyway
replace priority queue with vector of lists(1 list per stage) and place inside a class
so that we have more control of when an instruction uses a particular schedule entry
...
also, this is the 1st step toward making the InOrderCPU fully parameterizable. See the
wiki for details on this process
