With recent changes to the memory system, a port cannot be assigned a peer
port twice. While making use of the Ruby memory system in FS mode, DMA
ports were assigned peer twice, once for the classic memory system
and once for the Ruby memory system. This patch removes this double
assignment of peer ports.
This patch changes the behaviour of the All proxy parameter to not
only consider the direct children, but also do a pre-order depth-first
traversal of the object tree and append all results from the
children.
This is used in a later patch to find all the memories in the system,
independent of where they are located in the hierarchy.
This patch removes the physmem_port from the Atomic CPU and instead
uses the system pointer to access the physmem when using the fastmem
option. The system already keeps track of the physmem and the valid
memory address ranges, and with this patch we merely make use of that
existing functionality. As a result of this change, the overloaded
getMasterPort in the Atomic CPU can be removed, thus unifying the CPUs.
Virtual (pre-segmentation) addresses are truncated based on address size, and
any non-64 bit linear address is truncated to 32 bits. This means that real
mode addresses aren't truncated down to 16 bits after their segment bases are
added in.
This patch removes the DRAM memory class in preparation for updates to
the memory system, with the first one introducing an abstract memory
class, and removing the assumption of a single physical memory.
This patch removes the physMemPort from the RubySequencer and instead
uses the system pointer to access the physmem. The system already
keeps track of the physmem and the valid memory address ranges, and
with this patch we merely make use of that existing functionality. The
memory is modified so that it is possible to call the access functions
(atomic and functional) without going through the port, and the memory
is allowed to be unconnected, i.e. have no ports (since Ruby does not
attach it like the conventional memory system).
This patch introduces the notion of a master and slave port in the C++
code, thus bringing the previous classification from the Python
classes into the corresponding simulation objects and memory objects.
The patch enables us to classify behaviours into the two bins and add
assumptions and enfore compliance, also simplifying the two
interfaces. As a starting point, isSnooping is confined to a master
port, and getAddrRanges to slave ports. More of these specilisations
are to come in later patches.
The getPort function is not getMasterPort and getSlavePort, and
returns a port reference rather than a pointer as NULL would never be
a valid return value. The default implementation of these two
functions is placed in MemObject, and calls fatal.
The one drawback with this specific patch is that it requires some
code duplication, e.g. QueuedPort becomes QueuedMasterPort and
QueuedSlavePort, and BusPort becomes BusMasterPort and BusSlavePort
(avoiding multiple inheritance). With the later introduction of the
port interfaces, moving the functionality outside the port itself, a
lot of the duplicated code will disappear again.
This patch unifies where initMemProxies is called, in the init()
method of each BaseCPU subclass, before TheISA::initCPU is
called. Moreover, it also ensures that initMemProxies is called in
both full-system and syscall-emulation mode, thus unifying also across
the modes. An additional check is added in the ThreadState to ensure
that initMemProxies is only called once.
I am not too happy with the way options are added in files se.py and fs.py
currently. This patch moves all the options to the file Options.py, functions
from which are called when required.
This patch changes the name of a bitfield from W to W_FIELD to avoid
clashes with W being used as a class (typename) in the templatized
range_map. It also changes L to L_FIELD to avoid future problems. The
problem manifestes itself when the CPU includes a header that in turn
includes range_map.hh. The relevant parts of the decoder are updated.
This patch unifies the recvFunctional, recvAtomic and recvTiming to
all be based on a similar structure: 1) extract information about the
incoming packet, 2) send it out to the appropriate snoopers, 3)
determine where it is going, and 4) forward it to the right
destination. The naming of variables across the different access
functions is now consistent as well.
Additionally, the patch introduces the member functions releaseBus and
retryWaiting to better distinguish between the two cases when we
should tell a sender to retry. The first case is when the bus goes
from busy to idle, and the second case is when it receives a retry
from a destination that did not immediatelly accept a packet.
As a very minor change, the MMU debug flag is no longer used in the bus.
This patch decouples the queueing and the port interactions to
simplify the introduction of the master and slave ports. By separating
the queueing functionality from the port itself, it becomes much
easier to distinguish between master and slave ports, and still retain
the queueing ability for both (without code duplication).
As part of the split into a PacketQueue and a port, there is now also
a hierarchy of two port classes, QueuedPort and SimpleTimingPort. The
QueuedPort is useful for ports that want to leave the packet
transmission of outgoing packets to the queue and is used by both
master and slave ports. The SimpleTimingPort inherits from the
QueuedPort and adds the implemention of recvTiming and recvFunctional
through recvAtomic.
The PioPort and MessagePort are cleaned up as part of the changes.

This patch removes the overriding of "-Werror" in a handful of
cases. The code compiles with gcc 4.6.3 and clang 3.0 without any
warnings, and thus without any errors. There are no functional changes
introduced by this patch. In the future, rather than ypassing
"-Werror", address the warnings.
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).
This patch makes the code compile with clang 2.9 and 3.0 again by
making two very minor changes. Firt, it maintains a strict typing in
the forward declaration of the BaseCPUParams. Second, it adds a
FullSystemInt flag of the type unsigned int next to the boolean
FullSystem flag. The FullSystemInt variable can be used in
decode-statements (expands to switch statements) in the instruction
decoder.
With the SE/FS merge, interrupt controller is created irrespective of the
mode. This patch creates the interrupt controller when Ruby is used and
connects its ports.
Making the CheckerCPU a runtime time option requires the code to be compatible
with ISAs other than ARM. This patch adds the appropriate function
stubs to allow compilation.
Enables the CheckerCPU to be selected at runtime with the --checker option
from the configs/example/fs.py and configs/example/se.py configuration
files. Also merges with the SE/FS changes.
The change to port proxies recently moved code out of the constructor into
initState(). This is needed for code that loads data into memory, however
for code that setups symbol tables, kernel based events, etc this is the wrong
thing to do as that code is only called when a checkpoint isn't being restored
from.
1. --implicit-cache behavior is default.
2. makeEnv in src/SConscript is conditionally called.
3. decider set to MD5-timestamp
4. NO_HTML build option changed to SLICC_HTML (defaults to False)
Changeset 8868 slightly changes the statistics for the parser and
bzip2 regressions for ARM o3-timing. This patch merely updates the
statistics to reflect these changes.
