The class was crammed into syscall_emul.hh which has tons of forward
declarations and template definitions. To clean it up a bit, moved the
class into separate files and commented the class with doxygen style
comments. Also, provided some encapsulation by adding some accessors and
a mutator.
The syscallreturn.hh file was renamed syscall_return.hh to make it consistent
with other similarly named files in the src/sim directory.
The DPRINTF_SYSCALL macro was moved into its own header file with the
include the Base and Verbose flags as well.

Libraries are loaded into the process address space using the
mmap system call. Conveniently, this happens to be a good
time to update the process symbol table with the library's
incoming symbols so we handle the table update from within the
system call.
This works just like an application's normal symbols. The only
difference between a dynamic library and a main executable is
when the symbol table update occurs. The symbol table update for
an executable happens at program load time and is finished before
the process ever begins executing. Since dynamic linking happens
at runtime, the symbol loading happens after the library is
first loaded into the process address space. The library binary
is examined at this time for a symbol section and that section
is parsed for symbol types with specific bindings (global,
local, weak). Subsequently, these symbols are added to the table
and are available for use by gem5 for things like trace
generation.
Checkpointing should work just as it did previously. The address
space (and therefore the library) will be recorded and the symbol
table will be entirely recorded. (It's not possible to do anything
clever like checkpoint a program and then load the program back
with different libraries with LD_LIBRARY_PATH, because the
library becomes part of the address space after being loaded.)
The mmapGrowsDown() method was a static method on the OperatingSystem
class (and derived classes), which worked OK for the templated syscall
emulation methods, but made it hard to access elsewhere. This patch
moves the method to be a virtual function on the LiveProcess method,
where it can be overridden for specific platforms (for now, Alpha).
This patch also changes the value of mmapGrowsDown() from being false
by default and true only on X86Linux32 to being true by default and
false only on Alpha, which seems closer to reality (though in reality
most people use ASLR and this doesn't really matter anymore).
In the process, also got rid of the unused mmap_start field on
LiveProcess and OperatingSystem mmapGrowsUp variable.
For O3, which has a stat that counts reg reads, there is an additional
reg read per mmap() call since there's an arg we no longer ignore.
Otherwise, stats should not be affected.
Breaks the debug output from system calls into two levels: Base and Verbose.
A macro is added specifically for system calls which allows developers to
easily add new debug messages in a consistent manner. The macro also contains
a field to print thread IDs along with the CPU ID.
The Process class methods were using an improper style and this subsequently
bled into the system call code. The following regular expressions should be
helpful if someone transitions private system call patches on top of these
changesets:
s/alloc_fd/allocFD/
s/sim_fd(/simFD(/
s/sim_fd_obj/getFDEntry/
s/fix_file_offsets/fixFileOffsets/
s/find_file_offsets/findFileOffsets/
The patch clarifies whether file descriptors are host file descriptors or
target file descriptors in the system call code. (Host file descriptors
are file descriptors which have been allocated through real system calls
where target file descriptors are allocated from an array in the Process
class.)
This patch extends the previous patch's alterations around fd_map. It cleans
up some of the uglier code in the process file and replaces it with a more
concise C++11 version. As part of the changes, the FdMap class is pulled out
of the Process class and receives its own file.
The current ignoreWarnOnceFunc doesn't really work as expected,
since it will only generate one warning total, for whichever
"warn-once" syscall is invoked first. This patch fixes that
behavior by keeping a "warned" flag in the SyscallDesc object,
allowing suitably flagged syscalls to warn exactly once per
syscall.
added ARM aarch64 unlinkat syscall support, modeled on other <xxx>at syscalls.
This gets all of the cpu2006 int workloads passing in SE mode on aarch64.

According to Linux man pages, if writev is successful, it returns the total
number of bytes written. Otherwise, it returns an error code. Instead of
returning 0, return the result from the actual call to writev in the system
call.
Move the BufferArg classes that support syscall buffer args
(i.e., pointers into simulated user space) out of syscall_emul.hh
and into a new header syscall_emul_buf.hh so they are accessible
to emulated driver implementations.
Take the opportunity to add some comments as well.
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.
Presently, the alignment checks in the mmap and mremap implementations
in syscall_emul.hh are wrong. The checks are implemented as:
if ((start % TheISA::PageBytes) != 0 ||
(length % TheISA::PageBytes) != 0) {
warn("mmap failing: arguments not page-aligned: "
"start 0x%x length 0x%x",
start, length);
return -EINVAL;
}
This checks that both the start and the length arguments of the mmap
syscall are checked for page-alignment. However, the POSIX specification says:
The off argument is constrained to be aligned and sized according to the value
returned by sysconf() when passed _SC_PAGESIZE or _SC_PAGE_SIZE. When MAP_FIXED
is specified, the application shall ensure that the argument addr also meets
these constraints. The implementation performs mapping operations over whole
pages. Thus, while the argument len need not meet a size or alignment
constraint, the implementation shall include, in any mapping operation, any
partial page specified by the range [pa,pa+len).
So the length parameter should not be checked for page-alignment. By contrast,
the current implementation fails to check the offset argument, which must be
page aligned.

This patch prunes unused values, and also unifies how the values are
defined (not using an enum for ALPHA), aligning the use of int vs Addr
etc.
The patch also removes the duplication of PageBytes/PageShift and
VMPageSize/LogVMPageSize. For all ISAs the two pairs had identical
values and the latter has been removed.
This patch ignores the FUTEX_PRIVATE_FLAG of the sys_futex system call
in SE mode.
With this patch, when sys_futex with the options FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE or
FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE is emulated, the FUTEX_PRIVATE_FLAG is ignored and
so their behaviours are the regular FUTEX_WAIT and FUTEX_WAKE.
Emulating FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE and FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE as if they were
non-private is safe from a functional point of view. The
FUTEX_PRIVATE_FLAG does not change the semantics of the futex, it's
just a mechanism to improve performance under certain circunstances
that can be ignored in SE mode.
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.
If the length argument to mmap is larger than the arbitrary but reasonable
limit of 4GB, there's a good chance that the value is nonsense and not
intentional. Rather than attempting to satisfy the mmap anyway, this change
makes gem5 warn to make it more apparent what's going wrong.
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.
This patch adds the necessary flags to the SConstruct and SConscript
files for compiling using clang 2.9 and later (on Ubuntu et al and OSX
XCode 4.2), and also cleans up a bunch of compiler warnings found by
clang. Most of the warnings are related to hidden virtual functions,
comparisons with unsigneds >= 0, and if-statements with empty
bodies. A number of mismatches between struct and class are also
fixed. clang 2.8 is not working as it has problems with class names
that occur in multiple namespaces (e.g. Statistics in
kernel_stats.hh).
clang has a bug (http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=7247) which
causes confusion between the container std::set and the function
Packet::set, and this is currently addressed by not including the
entire namespace std, but rather selecting e.g. "using std::vector" in
the appropriate places.
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
