The identifier SYS_getdents is not available on Mac OS X. Therefore, its use
results in compilation failure. It seems there is no straight forward way to
implement the system call getdents using readdir() or similar C functions.
Hence the commit 6709bbcf564d is being rolled back.
This patch fixes a few minor issues that caused link-time warnings
when using LTO, mainly for x86. The most important change is how the
syscall array is created. Previously gcc and clang would complain that
the declaration and definition types did not match. The organisation
is now changed to match how it is done for ARM, moving the code that
was previously in syscalls.cc into process.cc, and having a class
variable pointing to the static array.
With these changes, there are no longer any warnings using gcc 4.6.3
with LTO.
New tool chains seem to be looking for kernel versions newer than what
this this was previously set to. Also take this opportunity to change
the hostname we report in uname to sim.gem5.org.
Enable different whitelists for different OS/arch combinations,
since some use the generic Linux definitions only, and others
use definitions inherited from earlier Unix flavors on those
architectures.
Also update x86 function pointers so ioctl is no longer
unimplemented on that platform.
This patch is a revised version of Vince Weaver's earlier patch.
This patch is adding a clearer design intent to all objects that would
not be complete without a port proxy by making the proxies members
rathen than dynamically allocated. In essence, if NULL would not be a
valid value for the proxy, then we avoid using a pointer to make this
clear.
The same approach is used for the methods using these proxies, such as
loadSections, that now use references rather than pointers to better
reflect the fact that NULL would not be an acceptable value (in fact
the code would break and that is how this patch started out).
Overall the concept of "using a reference to express unconditional
composition where a NULL pointer is never valid" could be done on a
much broader scale throughout the code base, but for now it is only
done in the locations affected by the proxies.
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

Replace direct call to unserialize() on each SimObject with a pair of
calls for better control over initialization in both ckpt and non-ckpt
cases.
If restoring from a checkpoint, loadState(ckpt) is called on each
SimObject. The default implementation simply calls unserialize() if
there is a corresponding checkpoint section, so we get backward
compatibility for existing objects. However, objects can override
loadState() to get other behaviors, e.g., doing other programmed
initializations after unserialize(), or complaining if no checkpoint
section is found. (Note that the default warning for a missing
checkpoint section is now gone.)
If not restoring from a checkpoint, we call the new initState() method
on each SimObject instead. This provides a hook for state
initializations that are only required when *not* restoring from a
checkpoint.
Given this new framework, do some cleanup of LiveProcess subclasses
and X86System, which were (in some cases) emulating initState()
behavior in startup via a local flag or (in other cases) erroneously
doing initializations in startup() that clobbered state loaded earlier
by unserialize().
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 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.
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.
This patch adds limited multithreading support in syscall-emulation
mode, by using the clone system call. The clone system call works
for Alpha, SPARC and x86, and multithreaded applications run
correctly in Alpha and SPARC.
Bogus calls to ChunkGenerator with negative size were triggering
a new assertion that was added there.
Also did a little renaming and cleanup in the process.
