807168a1de util: add m5_fail op.
Used as a command in full-system scripts helps the user ensure the benchmarks have finished successfully.

For example, one can use:

    /path/to/benchmark args || /sbin/m5 fail 1

and thus ensure gem5 will exit with an error if the benchmark fails.

2cfe62adc4 cpu: Rename defer_registration->switched_out
The defer_registration parameter is used to prevent a CPU from
initializing at startup, leaving it in the "switched out" mode. The
name of this parameter (and the help string) is confusing. This patch
renames it to switched_out, which should be more descriptive.

e65de3f5ca config: Do not use hardcoded physmem in fs script
This patch generalises the address range resolution for the I/O cache
and I/O bridge such that they do not assume a single memory. The patch
involves adding a parameter to the system which is then defined based
on the memories that are to be visible from the I/O subsystem, whether
behind a cache or a bridge.

The change is needed to allow interleaved memory controllers in the
system.

3dc7e4f496 TournamentBP: Fix some bugs with table sizes and counters
globalHistoryBits, globalPredictorSize, and choicePredictorSize are decoupled.
globalHistoryBits controls how much history is kept, global and choice
predictor sizes control how much of that history is used when accessing
predictor tables. This way, global and choice predictors can actually be
different sizes, and it is no longer possible to walk off the predictor arrays
and cause a seg fault.

There are now individual thresholds for choice, global, and local saturating
counters, so that taken/not taken decisions are correct even when the
predictors' counters' sizes are different.

The interface for localPredictorSize has been removed from TournamentBP because
the value can be calculated from localHistoryBits.

dc01535c7e python: Rename doDrain()->drain() and make it do the right thing

7e25052fee Partly revert [4f54b0f229b5] and move draining to m5.changeToTiming
Changeset 4f54b0f229b5 removed the call to doDrain in changeToTiming
based on the assumption that the system does not need draining when
running in atomic mode. This is a false assumption since at least the
System class requires the system to be drained before it allows
switching of memory modes. This patch reverts that part of the
changeset.

9cbe1cb653 config: Unify caches used in regressions and adjust L2 MSHRs
This patch unified the L1 and L2 caches used throughout the
regressions instead of declaring different, but very similar,
configurations in the different scripts.

The patch also changes the default L2 configuration to match what it
used to be for the fs and se scripts (until the last patch that
updated the regressions to also make use of the cache config). The
MSHRs and targets per MSHR are now set to a more realistic default of
20 and 12, respectively.

As a result of both the aforementioned changes, many of the regression
stats are changed. A follow-on patch will bump the stats.

66e331c7bb config: Use SimpleDRAM in full-system, and with o3 and inorder
This patch favours using SimpleDRAM with the default timing instead of
SimpleMemory for all regressions that involve the o3 or inorder CPU,
or are full system (in other words, where the actual performance of
the memory is important for the overall performance).

Moving forward, the solution for FSConfig and the users of fs.py and
se.py is probably something similar to what we use to choose the CPU
type. I envision a few pre-set configurations SimpleLPDDR2,
SimpleDDR3, etc that can be choosen by a dram_type option. Feedback on
this part is welcome.

This patch changes plenty stats and adds all the DRAM controller
related stats. A follow-on patch updates the relevant statistics. The
total run-time for the entire regression goes up with ~5% with this
patch due to the added complexity of the SimpleDRAM model. This is a
concious trade-off to ensure that the model is properly tested.

d22796c03c config: Use shared cache config for regressions
This patch uses the common L1, L2 and IOCache configuration for the
regressions that all share the same cache parameters. There are a few
regressions that use a slightly different configuration (memtest,
o3-timing=mp, simple-atomic-mp and simple-timing-mp), and the latter
are not changed in this patch. They will be updated in a future patch.

The common cache configurations are changed to match the ones used in
the regressions, and are slightly changed with respect to what they
were. Hopefully this means we can converge on a common base
configuration, used both in the normal user configurations and
regressions.

As only regressions that shared the same cache configuration are
updated, no regressions are affected.

88554790c3 Mem: Use cycles to express cache-related latencies
This patch changes the cache-related latencies from an absolute time
expressed in Ticks, to a number of cycles that can be scaled with the
clock period of the caches. Ultimately this patch serves to enable
future work that involves dynamic frequency scaling. As an immediate
benefit it also makes it more convenient to specify cache performance
without implicitly assuming a specific CPU core operating frequency.

The stat blocked_cycles that actually counter in ticks is now updated
to count in cycles.

As the timing is now rounded to the clock edges of the cache, there
are some regressions that change. Plenty of them have very minor
changes, whereas some regressions with a short run-time are perturbed
quite significantly. A follow-on patch updates all the statistics for
the regressions.

bus. The parameters are not intending to fit every single scenario,

Note that the scripts that do not use the addTwoLevelCacheHiearchy are
not affected by this change.

fccbf8bb45 AddrRange: Simplify AddrRange params Python hierarchy
This patch simplifies the Range object hierarchy in preparation for an
address range class that also allows striping (e.g. selecting a few
bits as matching in addition to the range).

To extend the AddrRange class to an AddrRegion, the first step is to
simplify the hierarchy such that we can make it as lean as possible
before adding the new functionality. The only class using Range and
MetaRange is AddrRange, and the three classes are now collapsed into
one.

234fa4cf7e Standard Switch: Drain the system before switching CPUs
When switching from an atomic CPU to any of the timing CPUs, a drain is
unnecessary since no events are scheduled in atomic mode. However, when
trying to switch CPUs starting with a timing CPU, there may be events
scheduled. This change ensures that all events are drained from the system
by calling m5.drain before switching CPUs.

a6074016e2 Bridge: Remove NACKs in the bridge and unify with packet queue
This patch removes the NACKing in the bridge, as the split
request/response busses now ensure that protocol deadlocks do not
occur, i.e. the message-dependency chain is broken by always allowing
responses to make progress without being stalled by requests. The
NACKs had limited support in the system with most components ignoring
their use (with a suitable call to panic), and as the NACKs are no
longer needed to avoid protocol deadlocks, the cleanest way is to
simply remove them.

The bridge is the starting point as this is the only place where the
NACKs are created. A follow-up patch will remove the code that deals
with NACKs in the endpoints, e.g. the X86 table walker and DMA
port. Ultimately the type of packet can be complete removed (until
someone sees a need for modelling more complex protocols, which can
now be done in parts of the system since the port and interface is
split).

As a consequence of the NACK removal, the bridge now has to send a
retry to a master if the request or response queue was full on the
first attempt. This change also makes the bridge ports very similar to
QueuedPorts, and a later patch will change the bridge to use these. A
first step in this direction is taken by aligning the name of the
member functions, as done by this patch.

A bit of tidying up has also been done as part of the simplifications.

Surprisingly, this patch has no impact on any of the
regressions. Hence, there was never any NACKs issued. In a follow-up
patch I would suggest changing the size of the bridge buffers set in
FSConfig.py to also test the situation where the bridge fills up.

5a648f2074 configs: add option for repeatedly switching back-and-forth between cpu types.
This patch adds a --repeat-switch option that will enable repeat core
switching at a user defined period (set with --switch-freq option).
currently, a switch can only occur between like CPU types. inorder CPU
switching is not supported.

*note*
this patch simply allows a config that will perform repeat switching, it
does not fix drain/switchout functionality. if you run with repeat switching
you will hit assertion failures and/or your workload with hang or die.

d81a51a4c8 Config: change how cpu class is set
This changes the way in which the cpu class while restoring from a checkpoint
is set. Earlier it was assumed if cpu type with which to restore is not same
as the cpu type with the which to run the simulation, then the checkpoint
should be restored with the atomic cpu. This assumption is being dropped. The
checkpoint can now be restored with any cpu type, the default being atomic cpu.

0d32940711 Bus: Split the bus into a non-coherent and coherent bus
This patch introduces a class hierarchy of buses, a non-coherent one,
and a coherent one, splitting the existing bus functionality. By doing
so it also enables further specialisation of the two types of buses.

A non-coherent bus connects a number of non-snooping masters and
slaves, and routes the request and response packets based on the
address. The request packets issued by the master connected to a
non-coherent bus could still snoop in caches attached to a coherent
bus, as is the case with the I/O bus and memory bus in most system
configurations. No snoops will, however, reach any master on the
non-coherent bus itself. The non-coherent bus can be used as a
template for modelling PCI, PCIe, and non-coherent AMBA and OCP buses,
and is typically used for the I/O buses.

A coherent bus connects a number of (potentially) snooping masters and
slaves, and routes the request and response packets based on the
address, and also forwards all requests to the snoopers and deals with
the snoop responses. The coherent bus can be used as a template for
modelling QPI, HyperTransport, ACE and coherent OCP buses, and is
typically used for the L1-to-L2 buses and as the main system
interconnect.

The configuration scripts are updated to use a NoncoherentBus for all
peripheral and I/O buses.

A bit of minor tidying up has also been done.

b5b9d2ad3e Config: Add command line options for disk image and memory size
Added the options to Options.py for FS mode with backward compatibility. It is
good to provide an option to specify the disk image and the memory size from
command line since a lot of disk images are created to support different
benchmark suites as well as per user needs. Change in program also leads to
change in memory requirements. These options provide the interface to provide
both disk image and memory size from the command line and gives more

b00949d88b MEM: Enable multiple distributed generalized memories
This patch removes the assumption on having on single instance of
PhysicalMemory, and enables a distributed memory where the individual
memories in the system are each responsible for a single contiguous
address range.

All memories inherit from an AbstractMemory that encompasses the basic
behaviuor of a random access memory, and provides untimed access
methods. What was previously called PhysicalMemory is now
SimpleMemory, and a subclass of AbstractMemory. All future types of
memory controllers should inherit from AbstractMemory.

To enable e.g. the atomic CPU and RubyPort to access the now
distributed memory, the system has a wrapper class, called
PhysicalMemory that is aware of all the memories in the system and
their associated address ranges. This class thus acts as an
infinitely-fast bus and performs address decoding for these "shortcut"
accesses. Each memory can specify that it should not be part of the
global address map (used e.g. by the functional memories by some
testers). Moreover, each memory can be configured to be reported to
the OS configuration table, useful for populating ATAG structures, and
any potential ACPI tables.

Checkpointing support currently assumes that all memories have the
same size and organisation when creating and resuming from the
checkpoint. A future patch will enable a more flexible
re-organisation.

5a9a743cfc MEM: Introduce the master/slave port roles in the Python classes
This patch classifies all ports in Python as either Master or Slave
and enforces a binding of master to slave. Conceptually, a master (such
as a CPU or DMA port) issues requests, and receives responses, and
conversely, a slave (such as a memory or a PIO device) receives
requests and sends back responses. Currently there is no
differentiation between coherent and non-coherent masters and slaves.

The classification as master/slave also involves splitting the dual
role port of the bus into a master and slave port and updating all the
system assembly scripts to use the appropriate port. Similarly, the
interrupt devices have to have their int_port split into a master and
slave port. The intdev and its children have minimal changes to
facilitate the extra port.

Note that this patch does not enforce any port typing in the C++
world, it merely ensures that the Python objects have a notion of the
port roles and are connected in an appropriate manner. This check is
carried when two ports are connected, e.g. bus.master =
memory.port. The following patches will make use of the
classifications and specialise the C++ ports into masters and slaves.

55cf3f4ac1 MEM: Removing the default port peer from Python ports
In preparation for the introduction of Master and Slave ports, this
patch removes the default port parameter in the Python port and thus
forces the argument list of the Port to contain only the
description. The drawback at this point is that the config port and
dma port of PCI and DMA devices have to be connected explicitly. This
is key for future diversification as the pio and config port are
slaves, but the dma port is a master.

2208ea049f MEM: Make the bus bridge unidirectional and fixed address range
This patch makes the bus bridge uni-directional and specialises the
bus ports to be a master port and a slave port. This greatly
simplifies the assumptions on both sides as either port only has to
deal with requests or responses. The following patches introduce the
notion of master and slave ports, and would not be possible without
this split of responsibilities.

In making the bridge unidirectional, the address range mechanism of
the bridge is also changed. For the cases where communication is
taking place both ways, an additional bridge is needed. This causes
issues with the existing mechanism, as the busses cannot determine
when to stop iterating the address updates from the two bridges. To
avoid this issue, and also greatly simplify the specification, the
bridge now has a fixed set of address ranges, specified at creation
time.

f85286b3de MEM: Add port proxies instead of non-structural ports
Port proxies are used to replace non-structural ports, and thus enable

and thus allowing any constellation of distributed memories, address

used for loading binaries, debugging etc. For the entities that belong
to the CPU, e.g. threads and thread contexts, they wrap the CPU data
port in a port proxy.

a88ec980a4 Config: Add an option of type 'choice' for cpu type
This patch adds a new option for cpu type. This option is of type 'choice'
which is similar to a C++ enum, except that it takes string values as
possible choices. Following options are being removed -- detailed, timing,
inorder.

61c14da751 O3: Remove hardcoded tgts_per_mshr in O3CPU.py.
There are two lines in O3CPU.py that set the dcache and icache
tgts_per_mshr to 20, ignoring any pre-configured value of tgts_per_mshr.
This patch removes these hardcoded lines from O3CPU.py and sets the default
L1 cache mshr targets to 20.

19bb896bfe config: revamp x86 config to avoid appending to SimObjectVectors
A significant contributor to the need for adoptOrphanParams()
is the practice of appending to SimObjectVectors which have
already been assigned as children.  This practice sidesteps the
assignment operation for those appended SimObjects, which is
where parent/child relationships are typically established.

This patch reworks the config scripts that use append() on
SimObjectVectors, which all happen to be in the x86 system
configuration.  At some point in the future, I hope to make
SimObjectVectors immutable (by deriving from tuple rather than
list), at which time this patch will be necessary for correct
operation.  For now, it just avoids some of the warning
messages that get printed in adoptOrphanParams().

a432d8e085 Mem: Fix issue with dirty block being lost when entire block transferred to non-cache.
This change fixes the problem for all the cases we actively use. If you want to try
more creative I/O device attachments (E.g. sharing an L2), this won't work. You
would need another level of caching between the I/O device and the cache
(which you actually need anyway with our current code to make sure writes
propagate). This is required so that you can mark the cache in between as
top level and it won't try to send ownership of a block to the I/O device.
Asserts have been added that should catch any issues.

29c45ccd23 ruby: Reduced ruby latencies
The previous slower ruby latencies created a mismatch between the faster M5
cpu models and the much slower ruby memory system.  Specifically smp
interrupts were much slower and infrequent, as well as cpus moving in and out
of spin locks.  The result was many cpus were idle for large periods of time.

These changes fix the latency mismatch.

object to functions like instantiate(), checkpoint(), and
restoreCheckpoint(), so that arg is gone.  Users who use

to do address range filtering; instead, we just have a simple flag
