This change makes the 8250 device return the value it has for the MCR when
read instead of leaving the packet data unmodified/uninitialized. The value
the UART has for the MCR may not be right, but that's a seperate issue that
apparently hasn't caused any problems to date.
In the process make add skipFuction() to handle isa specific function skipping
instead of ifdefs and other ugliness. For almost all ABIs, 64 bit arguments can
only start in even registers. Size is now passed to getArgument() so that 32
bit systems can make decisions about register selection for 64 bit arguments.
The number argument is now passed by reference because getArgument() will need
to change it based on the size of the argument and the current argument number.
For ARM, if the argument number is odd and a 64-bit register is requested the
number must first be incremented to because all 64 bit arguments are passed
in an even argument register. Then the number will be incremented again to
access both halves of the argument.
Move generated enums into internal.params, which gets
imported into object.params, restoring backward
compatibility for scripts that expect to find them there.
If we write back an exclusive copy, we now mark it
as such, so the cache receiving the writeback can
mark its copy as exclusive. This avoids some
unnecessary upgrade requests when a cache later
tries to re-acquire exclusive access to the block.
Make diff-out sort stats changes by percentage
by default, with '-a' to use current alpha sort
(instead of requiring '-p' to sort by percentage).
Other minor options cleanup too.
It's not the right fix for the checkpoint deadlock problem
Brad was having, and creates another bug where the system can
deadlock on restore. Brad can't reproduce the original bug
right now, so we'll wait until it arises again and then try
to fix it the right way then.
This reduces the scope of those includes and makes it less likely for there to
be a dependency loop. This also moves the hashing functions associated with
ExtMachInst objects to be with the ExtMachInst definitions and out of
utility.hh.
This code is no longer needed because of the preceeding change which adds a
StaticInstPtr parameter to the fault's invoke method, obviating the only use
for this pair of functions.
Also move the "Fault" reference counted pointer type into a separate file,
sim/fault.hh. It would be better to name this less similarly to sim/faults.hh
to reduce confusion, but fault.hh matches the name of the type. We could change
Fault to FaultPtr to match other pointer types, and then changing the name of
the file would make more sense.
This is necessary because versions of swig older than 1.3.39 fail to
do the right thing and try to do relative imports for everything (even
with the package= option to %module). Instead of putting params in
the m5.internal.params package, put params in the m5.internal package
and make all param modules start with param_. Same thing for
m5.internal.enums.
Also, stop importing all generated params into m5.objects. They are
not necessary and now with everything using relative imports we wound
up with pollution of the namespace (where builtin-range got overridden).

rename : src/python/m5/internal/enums/__init__.py => src/python/m5/internal/enums.py
rename : src/python/m5/internal/params/__init__.py => src/python/m5/internal/params.py
Instead of putting all object files into m5/object/__init__.py, interrogate
the importer to find out what should be imported.
Instead of creating a single file that lists all of the embedded python
modules, use static object construction to put those objects onto a list.
Do something similar for embedded swig (C++) code.
It doesn't appear to be necessary and it is somewhat odd. I'm pretty
sure that the package parameter to %module does whatever this might
have been before. It's necessary in future revisions anyway.
Because the handling of the E state for multilevel caches
has changed, stats are affected for any non-ruby config
with caches, even uniprocessor simple CPU.
Corrects an oversight in cset f97b62be544f. The fix there only
failed queued SCUpgradeReq packets that encountered an
invalidation, which meant that the upgrade had to reach the L2
cache. To handle pending requests in the L1 we must similarly
fail StoreCondReq packets too.
Allow lower-level caches (e.g., L2 or L3) to pass exclusive
copies to higher levels (e.g., L1). This eliminates a lot
of unnecessary upgrade transactions on read-write sequences
to non-shared data.
Also some cleanup of MSHR coherence handling and multiple
bug fixes.
