The definition for the class CacheMsg was removed long back. Some declaration
had still survived, which was recently removed. Since the PerfectCacheMemory
class relied on this particular declaration, its absence let to compilation
breaking down. Hence this patch.
Currently there is an assumption that restoration from a checkpoint will
happen by first restoring to an atomic CPU and then switching to a timing
CPU. This patch adds support for directly restoring to a timing CPU. It
adds a new option '--restore-with-cpu' which is used to specify the type
of CPU to which the checkpoint should be restored to. It defaults to
'atomic' which was the case before.
This patch resurrects ruby's cache warmup capability. It essentially
makes use of all the infrastructure that was added to the controllers,
memories and the cache recorder.
This patch adds function to the Sparse Memory so that the blocks can be
recorded in a cache trace. The blocks are added to the cache recorder
which can later write them into a file.
This patch adds functions to the memory vector class that can be used for
collating memory pages to raw trace and for populating pages from a raw
trace.
The SparseMemEntry structure includes just one void* pointer. It seems
unnecessary that we have a structure for this. The patch removes the
structure and makes use of a typedef on void* instead.
This adds the derived class FunctionalPacket to fix a long standing
deficiency in the Packet class where it was unable to handle finding data to
partially satisfy a functional access. Made this a derived class as
functional accesses are used only in certain contexts and to not add any
additional overhead to the existing Packet class.
This patch adds a mechanism to collect run time samples for specific portions
of a benchmark, using work_begin and work_end pseudo instructions.It also enhances
the histogram stat to report geometric mean.
The previous version didn't work correctly with max integer values (2^31-1 for
32-bit, 2^63-1 for 64bit version), causing "shift" to become -1. For smaller
numbers, it wouldn't have caused functional errors, but would have resulted in
more than necessary loops in the while loop. Special-cased cases when (max + 1
== 0) to prevent the ceilLog2 functions from failing.
To make gem5 compile and run with swig 2.0.4 a few minor fixes are
necessary, the fail label issues by swig must not be treated as an
error by gcc (tested with gcc 4.2.1), and the vector wrappers must
have SWIGPY_SLICE_ARG defined which happens in pycontainer.swg,
included through std_container.i. By adding the aforementioned include
to the vector wrappers everything seems to work.
Adaptations to make gem5 compile and run on OSX 10.7.2, with a stock
gcc 4.2.1 and the remaining dependencies from macports, i.e. python
2.7,.2 swig 2.0.4, mercurial 2.0. The changes include an adaptation of
the SConstruct to handle non-library linker flags, and Darwin-specific
code to find the memory usage of gem5. A number of Ruby files relied
on ambigious uint (without the 32 suffix) which caused compilation
errors.
This constant is currently in System.hh, but is only used in Set.hh. It
is being moved to Set.hh to remove this artificial dependence of Set.hh
on System.hh.
