A couple of the long regressions have been showing as CHANGED
since 11244:a2af58a06c4e despite the updates in 11245:1c5102c0a7a9.
The x86 regression looks like it was just missed, but it's not clear
why the ARM one is giving different results (perhaps a non-determinism
between zizzer and wherever the updated results were run?).
This update includes the changes to whole-line writes, the refinement
of Read to ReadClean and ReadShared, the introduction of CleanEvict
for snoop-filter tracking, and updates to the DRAM command scheduler
for bank-group-aware scheduling.
Needless to say, almost every regression is affected.
Very small changes to iew.predictedNotTakenIncorrect
and iew.branchMispredicts. Looks like similar updates
were committed on April 3 (changeset 235ff1c046df), but
only for the quick tests.
Changes due to speculative execution of an unaligned PC, introduction
of TLB stats, changes and re-work of the prefetcher, and the
introduction of rank-wise refresh in the DRAM controller.
As a result of the fixes, the full-system dual-core ARM regressions
are slightly changed. Hopefully this also means there will no longer
be any discrepancies between the results observed on different hosts.
This patch bumps the stats to reflect the addition of the snoop filter
and snoop stats, the change from bus to crossbar, and the updates to
the ARM regressions that are now using a different CPU and cache
configuration. Lastly, some minor changes are expected due to the
activation cleanup of the CPUs.
Mostly small differences in total ticks, but O3 stall causes
shifted significantly.
30.eon does speed up by ~6% on Alpha and ARM, and 50.vortex
by 4.5% on ARM. At the other extreme, X86 70.twolf is 0.8%
slower.
Update stats for recent changes. Mostly minor changes
in register access stats due to addition of new cc
register type and slightly different (and more accurate)
classification of int vs. fp register accesses.
Apparently only stats.txt was updated the last time, so
this changeset updates other reference output files
(config.ini, simout, simerr, ruby.stats) so that
test output diffs should not be cluttered with irrelevant
changes. There are a few stats.txt updates too, but
they are in the minority.
