9979355539 util: delete old unused style-checking scripts
The functions in these scripts were apparently folded into style.py but the
old scripts were orphaned without being deleted.  Get rid of them so their
existence is no longer confusing.

mem: support for gpu-style RMWs in ruby

This patch adds support for GPU-style read-modify-write (RMW) operations in
ruby. Such atomic operations are traditionally executed at the memory controller
(instead of through an L1 cache using cache-line locking).

Currently, this patch works by propogating operation functors through the memory
system.

1b6355c895 cpu. arch: add initiateMemRead() to ExecContext interface
For historical reasons, the ExecContext interface had a single
function, readMem(), that did two different things depending on
whether the ExecContext supported atomic memory mode (i.e.,
AtomicSimpleCPU) or timing memory mode (all the other models).
In the former case, it actually performed a memory read; in the
latter case, it merely initiated a read access, and the read
completion did not happen until later when a response packet
arrived from the memory system.

This led to some confusing things, including timing accesses
being required to provide a pointer for the return data even
though that pointer was only used in atomic mode.

This patch splits this interface, adding a new initiateMemRead()
function to the ExecContext interface to replace the timing-mode
use of readMem().

For consistency and clarity, the readMemTiming() helper function
in the ISA definitions is renamed to initiateMemRead() as well.
For x86, where the access size is passed in explicitly, we can
also get rid of the data parameter at this level.  For other ISAs,
where the access size is determined from the type of the data
parameter, we have to keep the parameter for that purpose.

707275265f cpu: remove unnecessary data ptr from O3 internal read() funcs
The read() function merely initiates a memory read operation; the
data doesn't arrive until the access completes and a response packet
is received from the memory system.  Thus there's no need to provide
a data pointer; its existence is historical.

Getting this pointer out of this internal o3 interface sets the
stage for similar cleanup in the ExecContext interface.  Also
found that we were pointlessly setting the contents at this pointer
on a store forward (the useful memcpy happens just a few lines
below the deleted one).

e595d9cccb arch: don't call *Timing functions from *Atomic versions
The readMemAtomic/writeMemAtomic helper functions were calling
readMemTiming/writeMemTiming respectively.  This is functionally
correct, since the *Timing functions are doing the same access
initiation operation as the *Atomic functions (just that the
*Atomic versions also complete the access in line).  It also
provides for some (very minimal) code reuse.  Unfortunately,
it's potentially pretty confusing, since it makes it look like
the atomic accesses are somehow being converted to timing
accesses.  It also gets in the way of specializing the timing
interface (as will be done in a future patch).

28a0e5a165 sim: don't ignore SIG_TRAP
By ignoring SIG_TRAP, using --debug-break <N> when not connected to
a debugger becomes a no-op.  Apparently this was intended to be a
feature, though the rationale is not clear.

If we don't ignore SIG_TRAP, then using --debug-break <N> when not
connected to a debugger causes the simulation process to terminate
at tick N.  This is occasionally useful, e.g., if you just want to
collect a trace for a specific window of execution then you can combine
this with --debug-start to do exactly that.

In addition to not ignoring the signal, this patch also updates
the --debug-break help message and deletes a handful of unprotected
calls to Debug::breakpoint() that relied on the prior behavior.

745f8229f6 dev, arm: Add a platform with support for both aarch32 and aarch64
Add a platform with support for both aarch32 and aarch64. This
platform implements a subset of the devices in a real Versatile
Express and extends it with some gem5-specific functionality. It is in
many ways similar to the old VExpress_EMM64 platform, but supports the
following new features:

  * Automatic PCI interrupt assignment
  * PCI interrupts allocated in a contiguous range.
  * Automatic boot loader selection (32-bit / 64-bit)
  * Cleaner memory map where gem5-specific devices live in CS5 which
    isn't used by current Versatile Express platforms.
  * No fake devices. Devices that were previously faked will be
    removed from the device tree instead.
  * Support for 510 GiB contiguous memory

6d058a63b0 dev, arm: Add support for automatic PCI interrupt routing
Add support for automatic PCI interrupt routing using a device's ID on
the PCI bus. Our current DTBs typically tell the kernel that we do
this or something similar when declaring the PCI controller. This
changeset adds an option to make the simulator behave in the same way.

Interrupt routing can be selected by setting the int_policy parameter
in the GenericArmPciHost. The following values are supported:

  * ARM_PCI_INT_STATIC: Use the old static routing policy using the
    interrupt line from a device's configurtion space.

  * ARM_PCI_INT_DEV: Use device number on the PCI bus to map to an
    interrupt in the GIC. The interrupt is computed as:

    gic_int = int_base + (pci_dev % int_count)

  * ARM_PCI_INT_PIN: Use device interrupt pin on the PCI bus to map to
    an interrupt in the GIC. The PCI specification reserves pin ID 0
    for devices without interrupts, the interrupt therefore computed
    as:

    gic_int = int_base + ((pin - 1) % int_count)

8406a54907 mem: fix bug in packet access endianness changes
The new Packet::setRaw() method incorrectly still contained
an htog() conversion.  As a result, calls to the old set()
method (now defined as setRaw(htog(v))) underwent two htog
conversions, which breaks things when htog() is not a no-op.

Interestingly the only test that caught this was a SPARC
boot test, where an IsaFake device with a non-zero return
value was getting swapped twice resulting in a register
getting loaded with 0x100000000000000 instead of 1.
(Good reason for keeping SPARC around, perhaps?)

6caa2c9b4e mem: add CacheVerbose debug flag, filter noisy DPRINTFs
Some of the DPRINTFs added to the classic cache in cset 45df88079f04,
while useful to those unfamiliar with the cache code, end up being
noise when you're familiar with the code but are trying to debug tricky
protocol issues.  (Particularly getting two messages from each cache
as it receives a snoop request then declares that there was no match.)

This patch introduces a CacheVerbose debug flag, and moves a subset of
the added DPRINTFs into that category, so that Cache by itself returns
to being a more succinct summary of cache activity.

Also added a CacheAll compound flag to turn on all the cache-related
debug flags (other than CacheTags, which you *really* have to want badly
to turn it on, IMO).

c153b669fd mem: Do not rely on the NeedsWritable flag for responses
This patch removes the NeedsWritable flag for all responses, as it is
really only the request that needs a writable response. The response,
on the other hand, should in these cases always provide the line in a
writable state, as indicated by the hasSharers flag not being set.

When we send requests that has NeedsWritable set, the response will
always have the hasSharers flag not set. Additionally, there are cases
where the request did not have NeedsWritable set, and we still get a
writable response with the hasSharers flag not set. This never happens
on snoops, but is used by downstream caches to pass ownership
upstream.

As part of this patch, the affected response types are updated, and
the snoop filter is similarly modified to check only the hasSharers
flag (as it should). A sanity check is also added to the packet class,
asserting that we never look at the NeedsWritable flag for responses.

No regressions are affected.

7fca994d04 mem: Do not allocate space for packet data if not needed
This patch looks at the request and response command to determine if
either actually has any data payload, and if not, we do not allocate
any space for packet data.

The only tricky case is where the command type is changed as part of
the MSHR functionality. In these cases where the original packet had
no data, but the new packet does, we need to explicitly call
allocate().

f1ec326be5 mem: Do not alter cache block state on uncacheable snoops

responding).

0fcb376e5f mem: Make cache terminology easier to understand
This patch changes the name of a bunch of packet flags and MSHR member
functions and variables to make the coherency protocol easier to
understand. In addition the patch adds and updates lots of
descriptions, explicitly spelling out assumptions.

The following name changes are made:

* the packet memInhibit flag is renamed to cacheResponding

* the packet sharedAsserted flag is renamed to hasSharers

* the packet NeedsExclusive attribute is renamed to NeedsWritable

* the packet isSupplyExclusive is renamed responderHadWritable

* the MSHR pendingDirty is renamed to pendingModified

The cache states, Modified, Owned, Exclusive, Shared are also called
out in the cache and MSHR code to make it easier to understand.

a317764577 ruby: slicc: have a static MachineType
This patch is imported from reviewboard patch 2551 by Nilay.
This patch moves from a dynamically defined MachineType to a statically
defined one.  The need for this patch was felt since a dynamically defined
type prevents us from having types for which no machine definition may
exist.

The following changes have been made:
i. each machine definition now uses a type from the MachineType enumeration
instead of any random identifier.  This required changing the grammar and the
*.sm files.
ii. MachineType enumeration defined statically in RubySlicc_Exports.sm.

b93a9d0d51 mem: Do not use sender state to track forwarded snoops in cache
This patch changes how the cache tracks which snoops are forwarded,
and which ones are created locally. Previously the identification was
based on an empty sender state of a specific class, but this method
fails to distinguish which cache actually attached the sender
state. Instead we use the same mechanism as the crossbar, and keep
track of the requests that have outstanding snoops.

d765dbf22c arm: remote GDB: rationalize structure of register offsets
Currently, the wire format of register values in g- and G-packets is
modelled using a union of uint8/16/32/64 arrays.  The offset positions
of each register are expressed as a "register count" scaled according
to the width of the register in question.  This results in counter-
intuitive and error-prone "register count arithmetic", and some
formats would even be altogether unrepresentable in such model, e.g.
a 64-bit register following a 32-bit one would have a fractional index
in the regs64 array.
Another difficulty is that the array is allocated before the actual
architecture of the workload is known (and therefore before the correct
size for the array can be calculated).

With this patch I propose a simpler mechanism for expressing the
register set structure.  In the new code, GdbRegCache is an abstract
class; its subclasses contain straightforward structs reflecting the
register representation.  The determination whether to use e.g. the
AArch32 vs. AArch64 register set (or SPARCv8 vs SPARCv9, etc.) is made
by polymorphically dispatching getregs() to the concrete subclass.
The subclass is not instantiated until it is needed for actual
g-/G-packet processing, when the mode is already known.

This patch is not meant to be merged in on its own, because it changes
the contract between src/base/remote_gdb.* and src/arch/*/remote_gdb.*,
so as it stands right now, it would break the other architectures.
In this patch only the base and the ARM code are provided for review;
once we agree on the structure, I will provide src/arch/*/remote_gdb.*
for the other architectures; those patches could then be merged in
together.
