36dc93a5fa mem: Move crossbar default latencies to subclasses
This patch introduces a few subclasses to the CoherentXBar and
NoncoherentXBar to distinguish the different uses in the system. We
use the crossbar in a wide range of places: interfacing cores to the
L2, as a system interconnect, connecting I/O and peripherals,
etc. Needless to say, these crossbars have very different performance,
and the clock frequency alone is not enough to distinguish these
scenarios.

Instead of trying to capture every possible case, this patch
introduces dedicated subclasses for the three primary use-cases:
L2XBar, SystemXBar and IOXbar. More can be added if needed, and the
defaults can be overridden.

670f44e05e Ruby: Update backing store option to propagate through to all RubyPorts
Previously, the user would have to manually set access_backing_store=True
on all RubyPorts (Sequencers) in the config files.
Now, instead there is one global option that each RubyPort checks on
initialization.

bf80734b2c x86 isa: This patch attempts an implementation at mwait.
Mwait works as follows:
1. A cpu monitors an address of interest (monitor instruction)
2. A cpu calls mwait - this loads the cache line into that cpu's cache.
3. The cpu goes to sleep.
4. When another processor requests write permission for the line, it is
   evicted from the sleeping cpu's cache. This eviction is forwarded to the
   sleeping cpu, which then wakes up.

0811f21f67 ruby: provide a backing store
Ruby's functional accesses are not guaranteed to succeed as of now.  While
this is not a problem for the protocols that are currently in the mainline
repo, it seems that coherence protocols for gpus rely on a backing store to
supply the correct data.  The aim of this patch is to make this backing store
configurable i.e. it comes into play only when a particular option:
--access-backing-store is invoked.

The backing store has been there since M5 and GEMS were integrated.  The only
difference is that earlier the system used to maintain the backing store and
ruby's copy was write-only.  Sometime last year, we moved to data being
supplied supplied by ruby in SE mode simulations.  And now we have patches on
the reviewboard, which remove ruby's copy of memory altogether and rely
completely on the system's memory to supply data.  This patch adds back a
SimpleMemory member to RubySystem.  This member is used only if the option:
access-backing-store is set to true.  By default, the memory would not be
accessed.

3022d463fb ruby: interface with classic memory controller
This patch is the final in the series.  The whole series and this patch in
particular were written with the aim of interfacing ruby's directory controller
with the memory controller in the classic memory system.  This is being done
since ruby's memory controller has not being kept up to date with the changes
going on in DRAMs.  Classic's memory controller is more up to date and
supports multiple different types of DRAM.  This also brings classic and
ruby ever more close.  The patch also changes ruby's memory controller to
expose the same interface.

95a0b18431 ruby: single physical memory in fs mode
Both ruby and the system used to maintain memory copies.  With the changes
carried for programmed io accesses, only one single memory is required for
fs simulations.  This patch sets the copy of memory that used to reside
with the system to null, so that no space is allocated, but address checks
can still be carried out.  All the memory accesses now source and sink values
to the memory maintained by ruby.

7a0d5aafe4 ruby: message buffers: significant changes
This patch is the final patch in a series of patches.  The aim of the series
is to make ruby more configurable than it was.  More specifically, the
connections between controllers are not at all possible (unless one is ready
to make significant changes to the coherence protocol).  Moreover the buffers
themselves are magically connected to the network inside the slicc code.
These connections are not part of the configuration file.

This patch makes changes so that these connections will now be made in the
python configuration files associated with the protocols.  This requires
each state machine to expose the message buffers it uses for input and output.
So, the patch makes these buffers configurable members of the machines.

The patch drops the slicc code that usd to connect these buffers to the
network.  Now these buffers are exposed to the python configuration system
as Master and Slave ports.  In the configuration files, any master port
can be connected any slave port.  The file pyobject.cc has been modified to
take care of allocating the actual message buffer.  This is inline with how
other port connections work.

01f792a367 ruby: Fixes clock domains in configuration files
This patch fixes scripts related to ruby by adding the ruby clock domain.
Now the L1 controllers and  the Sequencer shares the cpu clock domain,
while the rest of the components use the ruby clock domain.

Before this patch, running simulations with the cpu clock set at 2GHz or
1GHz will output the same time results and could distort power measurements.

simulations are started (using --ruby option).  The alpha fs config functions

8504b079b8 ruby: correct errors in changeset 4eec7bdde5b0
Couple of errors were discovered in 4eec7bdde5b0 which necessitated this patch.
Firstly, we create interrupt controllers in the se mode, but no piobus was
being created.  RubyPort, which earlier used to ignore range changes now
forwards those to the piobus.  The lack of piobus resulted in segmentation
fault.  This patch creates a piobus even in se mode.  It is not created only
when some tester is running.  Secondly,  I had missed out on modifying port
connections for other coherence protocols.

7e27860ef4 ruby: route all packets through ruby port
Currently, the interrupt controller in x86 is connected to the io bus
directly.  Therefore the packets between the io devices and the interrupt
controller do not go through ruby.  This patch changes ruby port so that
these packets arrive at the ruby port first, which then routes them to their
destination.  Note that the patch does not make these packets go through the
ruby network.  That would happen in a subsequent patch.

two L2 controllers where each set accesses only one of the L2 controllers.

to set the number of transitions. The default value is being set to
4. None of the se regressions change. Ruby stats for the fs regression

a8480fe1c3 config: Move the memory instantiation outside FSConfig
This patch moves the instantiation of the memory controller outside
FSConfig and instead relies on the mem_ranges to pass the information
to the caller (e.g. fs.py or one of the regression scripts). The main
motivation for this change is to expose the structural composition of
the memory system and allow more tuning and configuration without
adding a large number of options to the makeSystem functions.

The patch updates the relevant example scripts to maintain the current
functionality. As the order that ports are connected to the memory bus
changes (in certain regresisons), some bus stats are shuffled
around. For example, what used to be layer 0 is now layer 1.

Going forward, options will be added to support the addition of
multi-channel memory controllers.

7d7ab73862 sim: Add the notion of clock domains to all ClockedObjects
This patch adds the notion of source- and derived-clock domains to the
ClockedObjects. As such, all clock information is moved to the clock
domain, and the ClockedObjects are grouped into domains.

The clock domains are either source domains, with a specific clock
period, or derived domains that have a parent domain and a divider
(potentially chained). For piece of logic that runs at a derived clock
(a ratio of the clock its parent is running at) the necessary derived
clock domain is created from its corresponding parent clock
domain. For now, the derived clock domain only supports a divider,
thus ensuring a lower speed compared to its parent. Multiplier
functionality implies a PLL logic that has not been modelled yet
(create a separate clock instead).

The clock domains should be used as a mechanism to provide a
controllable clock source that affects clock for every clocked object
lying beneath it. The clock of the domain can (in a future patch) be
controlled by a handler responsible for dynamic frequency scaling of
the respective clock domains.

All the config scripts have been retro-fitted with clock domains. For
the System a default SrcClockDomain is created. For CPUs that run at a
different speed than the system, there is a seperate clock domain
created. This domain incorporates the CPU and the associated
caches. As before, Ruby runs under its own clock domain.

The clock period of all domains are pre-computed, such that no virtual
functions or multiplications are needed when calling
clockPeriod. Instead, the clock period is pre-computed when any
changes occur. For this to be possible, each clock domain tracks its
children.
