597d2aa3a6 config: Rename clock option to Ruby clock
This patch changes the 'clock' option to 'ruby-clock' as it is only
used by Ruby.

076d04a653 config: Add a system clock command-line option
This patch adds a 'sys_clock' command-line option and use it to assign
clocks to the system during instantiation.

As part of this change, the default clock in the System class is
removed and whenever a system is instantiated a system clock value
must be set. A default value is provided for the command-line option.

The configs and tests are updated accordingly.

4459b30525 config: Add a CPU clock command-line option
This patch adds a 'cpu_clock' command-line option and uses the value
to assign clocks to components running at the CPU speed (L1 and L2
including the L2-bus). The configuration scripts are updated
accordingly.

The 'clock' option is left unchanged in this patch as it is still used
by a number of components. In follow-on patches the latter will be
disambiguated further.

7eccb1b779 config: Remove redundant explicit setting of default clocks
This patch removes the explicit setting of the clock period for
certain instances of CoherentBus, NonCoherentBus and IOCache where the
specified clock is same as the default value of the system clock. As
all the values used are the defaults, there are no performance
changes. There are similar cases where the toL2Bus is set to use the
parent CPU clock which is already the default behaviour.

The main motivation for these simplifications is to ease the
introduction of clock domains.

be981772b9 config: Do not instantiate membus when using ruby
This patch moves the instantiation of system.membus in se.py to the area of
code where classic memory system has been dealt with. Ruby does not require
this bus and hence it should not be instantiated.

d989a3ad50 config: Add missing CPUs to --restore-with-cpu
The --restore-with-cpu option didn't use CpuConfig.cpu_names() to
determine which CPU names are valid, instead it used a static list of
known CPU names. This changeset makes the option parsing code use the
CPU list from the CpuConfig module instead.

3bc4ecdcb4 mem: More descriptive DRAM config names
This patch changes the class names of the variuos DRAM configurations
to better reflect what memory they are based on. The speed and
interface width is now part of the name, and also the alias that is
used to select them on the command line.

Some minor changes are done to the actual parameters, to better
reflect the named configurations. As a result of these changes the
regressions change slightly and the stats will be bumped in a separate
patch.

88aa7755f4 mem: Avoid explicitly zeroing the memory backing store
This patch removes the explicit memset as it is redundant and causes
the simulator to touch the entire space, forcing the host system to
allocate the pages.

Anonymous pages are mapped on the first access, and the page-fault
handler is responsible for zeroing them. Thus, the pages are still
zeroed, but we avoid touching the entire allocated space which enables
us to use much larger memory sizes as long as not all the memory is
actually used.

d3c33d91b6 cpu: remove local/globalHistoryBits params from branch pred
having separate params for the local/globalHistoryBits and the
local/globalPredictorSize can lead to inconsistencies if they
are not carefully set. this patch dervies the number of bits
necessary to index into the local/global predictors based on
their size.

the value of the localHistoryTableSize for the ARM O3 CPU has been
increased to 1024 from 64, which is more accurate for an A15 based
on some correlation against A15 hardware.

3477d60d5c config: Add a mem-type config option to se/fs scripts
This patch enables selection of the memory controller class through a
mem-type command-line option. Behind the scenes, this option is
treated much like the cpu-type, and a similar framework is used to
resolve the valid options, and translate the short-hand description to
a valid class.

The regression scripts are updated with a hardcoded memory class for
the moment. The best solution going forward is probably to get the
memory out of the makeSystem functions, but Ruby complicates things as
it does not connect the memory controller to the membus.

This patch is based on http://reviews.m5sim.org/r/1474/ originally written by
Mitch Hayenga. Basic block vectors are generated (simpoint.bb.gz in simout

Some comments to the original patch are addressed and hooks are added to create
and resume from checkpoints based on instruction counts dictated by external
SimPoint analysis tools.

SimPoint creation/resuming options will be implemented as a separate patch.

e5dca84c3f config: Move CPU handover logic to m5.switchCpus()
CPU switching consists of the following steps:
 1. Drain the system
 2. Switch out old CPUs (cpu.switchOut())
 3. Change the system timing mode to the mode the new CPUs require
 4. Flush caches if switching to hardware virtualization
 5. Inform new CPUs of the handover (cpu.takeOverFrom())
 6. Resume the system

m5.switchCpus() previously only did step 2 & 5. Since information
about the new processors' memory system requirements is now exposed,
do all of the steps above.

This patch adds automatic memory system switching and flush (if
needed) to switchCpus(). Additionally, it adds optional draining to
switchCpus(). This has the following implications:

* changeToTiming and changeToAtomic are no longer needed, so they have
  been removed.

* changeMemoryMode is only used internally, so it is has been renamed
  to be private.

* switchCpus requires a reference to the system containing the CPUs as
  its first parameter.

WARNING: This changeset breaks compatibility with existing
configuration scripts since it changes the signature of
m5.switchCpus().

e9f66dceac config: Cleanup CPU configuration
The CPUs supported by the configuration scripts used to be
hard-coded. This was not ideal for several reasons. For example, the
configuration scripts depend on all CPU models even though only a
subset might have been compiled.

This changeset adds a new module to the configuration scripts that
automatically discovers the available CPU models from the compiled
SimObjects. As a nice bonus, the use of introspection allows us to
automatically generate a list of available CPU models suitable for
printing. This list is augmented with the Python doc string from the
underlying class if available.

The configuration scripts currently hard-code the requirements of each
CPU. This is clearly not optimal as it makes writing new configuration
scripts painful and adding new CPU models requires existing scripts to

CPU and all relevant CPUs:

 * memory_mode -- Return a string describing the current memory mode
                  (invalid/atomic/timing).

 * require_caches -- Does the CPU model require caches?

 * support_take_over -- Does the CPU support CPU handover?

3db3f83a5e arch: Make the ISA class inherit from SimObject
The ISA class on stores the contents of ID registers on many
architectures. In order to make reset values of such registers
configurable, we make the class inherit from SimObject, which allows
us to use the normal generated parameter headers.

This patch introduces a Python helper method, BaseCPU.createThreads(),
which creates a set of ISAs for each of the threads in an SMT
system. Although it is currently only needed when creating
multi-threaded CPUs, it should always be called before instantiating
the system as this is an obvious place to configure ID registers
identifying a thread/CPU.

3dc7e4f496 TournamentBP: Fix some bugs with table sizes and counters
globalHistoryBits, globalPredictorSize, and choicePredictorSize are decoupled.
globalHistoryBits controls how much history is kept, global and choice
predictor sizes control how much of that history is used when accessing
predictor tables. This way, global and choice predictors can actually be
different sizes, and it is no longer possible to walk off the predictor arrays
and cause a seg fault.

There are now individual thresholds for choice, global, and local saturating
counters, so that taken/not taken decisions are correct even when the
predictors' counters' sizes are different.

The interface for localPredictorSize has been removed from TournamentBP because
the value can be calculated from localHistoryBits.

66e331c7bb config: Use SimpleDRAM in full-system, and with o3 and inorder
This patch favours using SimpleDRAM with the default timing instead of
SimpleMemory for all regressions that involve the o3 or inorder CPU,
or are full system (in other words, where the actual performance of
the memory is important for the overall performance).

Moving forward, the solution for FSConfig and the users of fs.py and
se.py is probably something similar to what we use to choose the CPU
type. I envision a few pre-set configurations SimpleLPDDR2,
SimpleDDR3, etc that can be choosen by a dram_type option. Feedback on
this part is welcome.

This patch changes plenty stats and adds all the DRAM controller
related stats. A follow-on patch updates the relevant statistics. The
total run-time for the entire regression goes up with ~5% with this
patch due to the added complexity of the SimpleDRAM model. This is a
concious trade-off to ensure that the model is properly tested.

d22796c03c config: Use shared cache config for regressions
This patch uses the common L1, L2 and IOCache configuration for the
regressions that all share the same cache parameters. There are a few
regressions that use a slightly different configuration (memtest,
o3-timing=mp, simple-atomic-mp and simple-timing-mp), and the latter
are not changed in this patch. They will be updated in a future patch.

The common cache configurations are changed to match the ones used in
the regressions, and are slightly changed with respect to what they
were. Hopefully this means we can converge on a common base
configuration, used both in the normal user configurations and
regressions.

As only regressions that shared the same cache configuration are
updated, no regressions are affected.

testing the patch.

With this patch applied, functional writes always succeed. But functional
reads can still fail.

88554790c3 Mem: Use cycles to express cache-related latencies
This patch changes the cache-related latencies from an absolute time
expressed in Ticks, to a number of cycles that can be scaled with the
clock period of the caches. Ultimately this patch serves to enable
future work that involves dynamic frequency scaling. As an immediate
benefit it also makes it more convenient to specify cache performance
without implicitly assuming a specific CPU core operating frequency.

The stat blocked_cycles that actually counter in ticks is now updated
to count in cycles.

As the timing is now rounded to the clock edges of the cache, there
are some regressions that change. Plenty of them have very minor
changes, whereas some regressions with a short run-time are perturbed
quite significantly. A follow-on patch updates all the statistics for
the regressions.

The memtest.py script used to connect the system port directly to the

port is not used for anything in this particular example, a quick fix
is to attach it to the functional bus instead.

fccbf8bb45 AddrRange: Simplify AddrRange params Python hierarchy
This patch simplifies the Range object hierarchy in preparation for an
address range class that also allows striping (e.g. selecting a few
bits as matching in addition to the range).

To extend the AddrRange class to an AddrRegion, the first step is to
simplify the hierarchy such that we can make it as lean as possible
before adding the new functionality. The only class using Range and
MetaRange is AddrRange, and the three classes are now collapsed into
one.

234fa4cf7e Standard Switch: Drain the system before switching CPUs
When switching from an atomic CPU to any of the timing CPUs, a drain is
unnecessary since no events are scheduled in atomic mode. However, when
trying to switch CPUs starting with a timing CPU, there may be events
scheduled. This change ensures that all events are drained from the system
by calling m5.drain before switching CPUs.

a6074016e2 Bridge: Remove NACKs in the bridge and unify with packet queue
This patch removes the NACKing in the bridge, as the split
request/response busses now ensure that protocol deadlocks do not
occur, i.e. the message-dependency chain is broken by always allowing
responses to make progress without being stalled by requests. The
NACKs had limited support in the system with most components ignoring
their use (with a suitable call to panic), and as the NACKs are no
longer needed to avoid protocol deadlocks, the cleanest way is to
simply remove them.

The bridge is the starting point as this is the only place where the
NACKs are created. A follow-up patch will remove the code that deals
with NACKs in the endpoints, e.g. the X86 table walker and DMA
port. Ultimately the type of packet can be complete removed (until
someone sees a need for modelling more complex protocols, which can
now be done in parts of the system since the port and interface is
split).

As a consequence of the NACK removal, the bridge now has to send a
retry to a master if the request or response queue was full on the
first attempt. This change also makes the bridge ports very similar to
QueuedPorts, and a later patch will change the bridge to use these. A
first step in this direction is taken by aligning the name of the
member functions, as done by this patch.

A bit of tidying up has also been done as part of the simplifications.

Surprisingly, this patch has no impact on any of the
regressions. Hence, there was never any NACKs issued. In a follow-up
patch I would suggest changing the size of the bridge buffers set in
FSConfig.py to also test the situation where the bridge fills up.

f00cba34eb Mem: Make SimpleMemory single ported
This patch changes the simple memory to have a single slave port
rather than a vector port. The simple memory makes no attempts at
modelling the contention between multiple ports, and any such
multiplexing and demultiplexing could be done in a bus (or crossbar)
outside the memory controller. This scenario also matches with the
ongoing work on a SimpleDRAM model, which will be a single-ported
single-channel controller that can be used in conjunction with a bus
(or crossbar) to create a multi-port multi-channel controller.

There are only very few regressions that make use of the vector port,
and these are all for functional accesses only. To facilitate these
cases, memtest and memtest-ruby have been updated to also have a
"functional" bus to perform the (de)multiplexing of the functional
memory accesses.

0d32940711 Bus: Split the bus into a non-coherent and coherent bus
This patch introduces a class hierarchy of buses, a non-coherent one,
and a coherent one, splitting the existing bus functionality. By doing
so it also enables further specialisation of the two types of buses.

A non-coherent bus connects a number of non-snooping masters and
slaves, and routes the request and response packets based on the
address. The request packets issued by the master connected to a
non-coherent bus could still snoop in caches attached to a coherent
bus, as is the case with the I/O bus and memory bus in most system
configurations. No snoops will, however, reach any master on the
non-coherent bus itself. The non-coherent bus can be used as a
template for modelling PCI, PCIe, and non-coherent AMBA and OCP buses,
and is typically used for the I/O buses.

A coherent bus connects a number of (potentially) snooping masters and
slaves, and routes the request and response packets based on the
address, and also forwards all requests to the snoopers and deals with
the snoop responses. The coherent bus can be used as a template for
modelling QPI, HyperTransport, ACE and coherent OCP buses, and is
typically used for the L1-to-L2 buses and as the main system
interconnect.

The configuration scripts are updated to use a NoncoherentBus for all
peripheral and I/O buses.

A bit of minor tidying up has also been done.

b00949d88b MEM: Enable multiple distributed generalized memories
This patch removes the assumption on having on single instance of
PhysicalMemory, and enables a distributed memory where the individual
memories in the system are each responsible for a single contiguous
address range.

All memories inherit from an AbstractMemory that encompasses the basic
behaviuor of a random access memory, and provides untimed access
methods. What was previously called PhysicalMemory is now
SimpleMemory, and a subclass of AbstractMemory. All future types of
memory controllers should inherit from AbstractMemory.

To enable e.g. the atomic CPU and RubyPort to access the now
distributed memory, the system has a wrapper class, called
PhysicalMemory that is aware of all the memories in the system and
their associated address ranges. This class thus acts as an
infinitely-fast bus and performs address decoding for these "shortcut"
accesses. Each memory can specify that it should not be part of the
global address map (used e.g. by the functional memories by some
testers). Moreover, each memory can be configured to be reported to
the OS configuration table, useful for populating ATAG structures, and
any potential ACPI tables.

Checkpointing support currently assumes that all memories have the
same size and organisation when creating and resuming from the
checkpoint. A future patch will enable a more flexible
re-organisation.

5a9a743cfc MEM: Introduce the master/slave port roles in the Python classes
This patch classifies all ports in Python as either Master or Slave
and enforces a binding of master to slave. Conceptually, a master (such
as a CPU or DMA port) issues requests, and receives responses, and
conversely, a slave (such as a memory or a PIO device) receives
requests and sends back responses. Currently there is no
differentiation between coherent and non-coherent masters and slaves.

The classification as master/slave also involves splitting the dual
role port of the bus into a master and slave port and updating all the
system assembly scripts to use the appropriate port. Similarly, the
interrupt devices have to have their int_port split into a master and
slave port. The intdev and its children have minimal changes to
facilitate the extra port.

Note that this patch does not enforce any port typing in the C++
world, it merely ensures that the Python objects have a notion of the
port roles and are connected in an appropriate manner. This check is
carried when two ports are connected, e.g. bus.master =
memory.port. The following patches will make use of the
classifications and specialise the C++ ports into masters and slaves.

This patch fixes the currently broken fs.py by specifying the size of

(from IO bus to membus), and thus avoids the overlapping ranges.

63563c9df2 O3, Ruby: Forward invalidations from Ruby to O3 CPU
This patch implements the functionality for forwarding invalidations and
replacements from the L1 cache of the Ruby memory system to the O3 CPU. The
implementation adds a list of ports to RubyPort. Whenever a replacement or an
invalidation is performed, the L1 cache forwards this to all the ports, which
is the LSQ in case of the O3 CPU.

55cf3f4ac1 MEM: Removing the default port peer from Python ports
In preparation for the introduction of Master and Slave ports, this
patch removes the default port parameter in the Python port and thus
forces the argument list of the Port to contain only the
description. The drawback at this point is that the config port and
dma port of PCI and DMA devices have to be connected explicitly. This
is key for future diversification as the pio and config port are
slaves, but the dma port is a master.

2208ea049f MEM: Make the bus bridge unidirectional and fixed address range
This patch makes the bus bridge uni-directional and specialises the
bus ports to be a master port and a slave port. This greatly
simplifies the assumptions on both sides as either port only has to
deal with requests or responses. The following patches introduce the
notion of master and slave ports, and would not be possible without
this split of responsibilities.

In making the bridge unidirectional, the address range mechanism of
the bridge is also changed. For the cases where communication is
taking place both ways, an additional bridge is needed. This causes
issues with the existing mechanism, as the busses cannot determine
when to stop iterating the address updates from the two bridges. To
avoid this issue, and also greatly simplify the specification, the
bridge now has a fixed set of address ranges, specified at creation
time.

f85286b3de MEM: Add port proxies instead of non-structural ports
Port proxies are used to replace non-structural ports, and thus enable
all ports in the system to correspond to a structural entity. This has
the advantage of accessing memory through the normal memory subsystem
and thus allowing any constellation of distributed memories, address
maps, etc. Most accesses are done through the "system port" that is
used for loading binaries, debugging etc. For the entities that belong
to the CPU, e.g. threads and thread contexts, they wrap the CPU data
port in a port proxy.

The following replacements are made:
FunctionalPort      > PortProxy
TranslatingPort     > SETranslatingPortProxy
VirtualPort         > FSTranslatingPortProxy

adds a new option '--restore-with-cpu' which is used to specify the type

19bb896bfe config: revamp x86 config to avoid appending to SimObjectVectors
A significant contributor to the need for adoptOrphanParams()
is the practice of appending to SimObjectVectors which have
already been assigned as children.  This practice sidesteps the
assignment operation for those appended SimObjects, which is
where parent/child relationships are typically established.

This patch reworks the config scripts that use append() on
SimObjectVectors, which all happen to be in the x86 system
configuration.  At some point in the future, I hope to make
SimObjectVectors immutable (by deriving from tuple rather than
list), at which time this patch will be necessary for correct
operation.  For now, it just avoids some of the warning
messages that get printed in adoptOrphanParams().

8a652f9871 config: tweak ruby configs to clean up hierarchy
Re-enabling implicit parenting (see previous patch) causes current
Ruby config scripts to create some strange hierarchies and generate
several warnings.  This patch makes three general changes to address
these issues.

1. The order of object creation in the ruby config files makes the L1
   caches children of the sequencer rather than the controller; these
   config ciles are rewritten to assign the L1 caches to the
   controller first.

2. The assignment of the sequencer list to system.ruby.cpu_ruby_ports
   causes the sequencers to be children of system.ruby, generating
   warnings because they are already parented to their respective
   controllers.  Changing this attribute to _cpu_ruby_ports fixes this
   because the leading underscore means this is now treated as a plain
   Python attribute rather than a child assignment. As a result, the
   configuration hierarchy changes such that, e.g.,
   system.ruby.cpu_ruby_ports0 becomes system.l1_cntrl0.sequencer.

3. In the topology classes, the routers become children of some random
   internal link node rather than direct children of the topology.
   The topology classes are rewritten to assign the routers to the
   topology object first.

8733ed4b7d network: basic link bw for garnet and simple networks
This patch ensures that both Garnet and the simple networks use the bw value

of bw for basic links.  This value is then translated to the specific value
used by the simple and Garnet networks.  Since Garent does not support
non-uniformed link bandwidth, the patch also adds a check to ensure all bws are
equal.

virtually ignored by the networks (both simple and Garnet) to first class
simobjects that directly correspond to c++ ojbects manipulated by the

links and switches directly correspond to specific C++ objects.

By making this change, many aspects of the Topology class were simplified.

top level and it won't try to send ownership of a block to the I/O device.

c4b81d311e X86: Change how the default disk image gets set up.
The disk image to use was always being forced to a particular value. This
change changes what disk image is selected as the default based on the
architecture being built. In the future, a more sophisticated system might be
used that selected a path based on certain rules instead of relying on one off
file names.

a368fba7d4 Time: Add a mechanism to prevent M5 from running faster than real time.
M5 skips over any simulated time where it doesn't have any work to do. When
the simulation is active, the time skipped is short and the work done at any
point in time is relatively substantial. If the time between events is long
and/or the work to do at each event is small, it's possible for simulated time
to pass faster than real time. When running a benchmark that can be good
because it means the simulation will finish sooner in real time. When
interacting with the real world through, for instance, a serial terminal or
bridge to a real network, this can be a problem. Human or network response time
could be greatly exagerated from the perspective of the simulation and make
simulated events happen "too soon" from an external perspective.

This change adds the capability to force the simulation to run no faster than
real time. It does so by scheduling a periodic event that checks to see if
its simulated period is shorter than its real period. If it is, it stalls the
simulation until they're equal. This is called time syncing.

A future change could add pseudo instructions which turn time syncing on and
off from within the simulation. That would allow time syncing to be used for
the interactive parts of a session but then turned off when running a
benchmark using the m5 utility program inside a script. Time syncing would
probably not happen anyway while running a benchmark because there would be
plenty of work for M5 to do, but the event overhead could be avoided.

72044e3f5a ruby: Disable migratory sharing for token and hammer
This patch allows one to disable migratory sharing for those cache blocks that
are accessed by atomic requests.  While the implementations are different
between the token and hammer protocols, the motivation is the same.  For
Alpha, LLSC semantics expect that normal loads do not unlock cache blocks that
have been locked by LL accesses.  Therefore, locked blocks should not transfer
write permissions when responding to these load requests.  Instead, only they
only transfer read permissions so that the subsequent SC access can possibly
succeed.

29c45ccd23 ruby: Reduced ruby latencies
The previous slower ruby latencies created a mismatch between the faster M5
cpu models and the much slower ruby memory system.  Specifically smp
interrupts were much slower and infrequent, as well as cpus moving in and out
of spin locks.  The result was many cpus were idle for large periods of time.

These changes fix the latency mismatch.

Enforce that the Python Root SimObject is instantiated only

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.

1d3228481f cache: Make caches sharing aware and add occupancy stats.
On the config end, if a shared L2 is created for the system, it is
parameterized to have n sharers as defined by option.num_cpus. In addition to
making the cache sharing aware so that discriminating tag policies can make use
of context_ids to make decisions, I added an occupancy AverageStat and an occ %
stat to each cache so that you could know which contexts are occupying how much
cache on average, both in terms of blocks and percentage. Note that since
devices have context_id -1, having an array of occ stats that correspond to
each context_id will break here, so in FS mode I add an extra bucket for device
blocks. This bucket is explicitly not added in SE mode in order to not only
avoid ugliness in the stats.txt file, but to avoid broken stats (some formulas
break when a bucket is 0).
