Changes so that InOrder can work for a non-delay-slot ISA like Alpha. Typically, changes have to do with handling misspeculated branches at different points in pipeline
Edit AlphaISA to support the inorder model. Mostly alternate constructor functions and also a few skeleton multithreaded support functions
* * *
Remove namespace from header file. Causes compiler issues that are hard to find
* * *
Separate the TLB from the CPU and allow it to live in the TLBUnit resource. Give CPU accessor functions for access and also bind at construction time
* * *
Expose memory access size and flags through instruction object
(temporarily memAccSize and memFlags to get TLB stuff working.)
This changeset also includes a lot of work from Derek Hower <drh5@cs.wisc.edu>
RubyMemory is now both a driver for Ruby and a port for M5. Changed
makeRequest/hitCallback interface. Brought packets (superficially)
into the sequencer. Modified tester infrastructure to be packet based.
and Ruby can be used together through the example ruby_se.py
script. SPARC parallel applications work, and the timing *seems* right
from combined M5/Ruby debug traces. To run,
% build/ALPHA_SE/m5.debug configs/example/ruby_se.py -c
tests/test-progs/hello/bin/alpha/linux/hello -n 4 -t
1. removed checks from tester files
2. removed else clause in Sequencer and DirectoryMemory else clause is
needed by the tester, it is up to Derek to revive it elsewhere when he
gets to it
Also:
1. Changed m_entries in DirectoryMemory to a map
2. And replaced SIMICS_read_physical_memory with a call to now-dummy
Derek's-to-be readPhysMem function
Add the PROTOCOL sticky option sets the coherence protocol that slicc
will parse and therefore ruby will use. This whole process was made
difficult by the fact that the set of files that are output by slicc
are not easily known ahead of time. The easiest thing wound up being
to write a parser for slicc that would tell me. Incidentally this
means we now have a slicc grammar written in python.
This basically means changing all #include statements and changing
autogenerated code so that it generates the correct paths. Because
slicc generates #includes, I had to hard code the include paths to
mem/protocol.
1) Removing files from the ruby build left some unresovled
symbols. Those have been fixed.
2) Most of the dependencies on Simics data types and the simics
interface files have been removed.
3) Almost all mention of opal is gone.
4) Huge chunks of LogTM are now gone.
5) Handling 1-4 left ~hundreds of unresolved references, which were
fixed, yielding a snowball effect (and the massive size of this
delta).
I did the macro cleanup because I was worried that the SCons scanner
would get confused. This code will hopefully go away soon anyway.

rename : src/mem/ruby/config/config.include => src/mem/ruby/config/config.hh
this was double scheduling itself (once in constructor and once in cpu code). also add support for stopping / starting
progress events through repeatEvent flag and also changing the interval of the progress event as well

Start by turning all of the *Source functions into classes
so we can do more calculations and more easily collect the data we need.
Add parameters to the new classes for indicating what sorts of flags the
objects should be compiled with so we can allow certain files to be compiled
without Werror for example.
Lowest priority interrupts are now delivered based on a rotating offset into
the list of potential recipients. There could be parasitic cases were a
processor gets picked on and ends up at that rotating offset all the time, but
it's much more likely that the group will stay consistent and the pain will be
distributed evenly.
This is a hack so that the IO APIC can figure out information about the local
APICs. The local APICs still have no way to find out about each other.
Ideally, when the local APICs update state that's relevant to somebody else,
they'd send an update to everyone. Without being able to do a broadcast, that
would still require knowing who else there is to notify. Other broadcasts are
implemented using assumptions that may not always be true.
The ID as exposed to software can be changed. Tracking those changes in M5
would be cumbersome, especially since there's no guarantee the IDs will remain
unique.
