This patch introduces the notion of a master and slave port in the C++
code, thus bringing the previous classification from the Python
classes into the corresponding simulation objects and memory objects.
The patch enables us to classify behaviours into the two bins and add
assumptions and enfore compliance, also simplifying the two
interfaces. As a starting point, isSnooping is confined to a master
port, and getAddrRanges to slave ports. More of these specilisations
are to come in later patches.
The getPort function is not getMasterPort and getSlavePort, and
returns a port reference rather than a pointer as NULL would never be
a valid return value. The default implementation of these two
functions is placed in MemObject, and calls fatal.
The one drawback with this specific patch is that it requires some
code duplication, e.g. QueuedPort becomes QueuedMasterPort and
QueuedSlavePort, and BusPort becomes BusMasterPort and BusSlavePort
(avoiding multiple inheritance). With the later introduction of the
port interfaces, moving the functionality outside the port itself, a
lot of the duplicated code will disappear again.
This patch unifies the recvFunctional, recvAtomic and recvTiming to
all be based on a similar structure: 1) extract information about the
incoming packet, 2) send it out to the appropriate snoopers, 3)
determine where it is going, and 4) forward it to the right
destination. The naming of variables across the different access
functions is now consistent as well.
Additionally, the patch introduces the member functions releaseBus and
retryWaiting to better distinguish between the two cases when we
should tell a sender to retry. The first case is when the bus goes
from busy to idle, and the second case is when it receives a retry
from a destination that did not immediatelly accept a packet.
As a very minor change, the MMU debug flag is no longer used in the bus.
This patch moves all port creation from the getPort method to be
consistently done in the MemObject's constructor. This is possible
thanks to the Swig interface passing the length of the vector ports.
Previously there was a mix of: 1) creating the ports as members (at
object construction time) and using getPort for the name resolution,
or 2) dynamically creating the ports in the getPort call. This is now
uniform. Furthermore, objects that would not be complete without a
port have these ports as members rather than having pointers to
dynamically allocated ports.
This patch also enables an elaboration-time enumeration of all the
ports in the system which can be used to determine the masterId.
This patch adds a check in the findPort method to ensure that an
invalid port id is never returned. Previously this could happen if no
default port was set, and no address matched the request, in which
case -1 was returned causing a SEGFAULT when using the id to index in
the port array. To clean things up further a symbolic name is added
for the invalid port id.
This patch removes the onRetryList field from the BusPort class and
entirely relies on the retryList which holds all ports that are
waiting to retry. The onRetryList field and the retryList were
previously used with overloaded functionalities and only one is really
needed (there were also checks to assert they held the same
information). After this patch the bus ports will be split into master
and slave ports and this simplifies that transition.
This patch removes the idiosyncratic nature of the default bus port
and makes it yet another port in the list of interfaces. Rather than
having a specific pointer to the default port we merely track the
identifier of this port. This change makes future port diversification
easier and overall cleans up the bus code.
The functional ports are no longer used and this patch cleans up the
legacy that is still present in buses, memories, CPUs etc. Note that
this does not refer to the class FunctionalPort (already removed), but
rather ports with the name (and use) functional.
This patch simplifies the address-range determination mechanism and
also unifies the naming across ports and devices. It further splits
the queries for determining if a port is snooping and what address
ranges it responds to (aiming towards a separation of
cache-maintenance ports and pure memory-mapped ports). Default
behaviours are such that most ports do not have to define isSnooping,
and master ports need not implement getAddrRanges.
Clean up some minor things left over from the default responder
change in rev 9af6fb59752f. Mostly renaming the 'responder_set'
param to 'use_default_range' to actually reflect what it does...
old name wasn't that descriptive in the first place, but now
it really doesn't make sense at all.
Also got rid of the bogus obsolete assignment to 'bus.responder'
which used to be a parameter but now is interpreted as an
implicit child assignment, and which was giving me problems in
the config restructuring to come. (A good argument for not
allowing implicit child assignments, IMO, but that's water under
the bridge, I'm afraid.)
Also moved the Bus constructor to the .cc file since that's
where it should have been all along.
SimObjects not yet updated:
- Process and subclasses
- BaseCPU and subclasses
The SimObject(const std::string &name) constructor was removed. Subclasses
that still rely on that behavior must call the parent initializer as
: SimObject(makeParams(name))
