b404ffde60 cache: Fix handling of LL/SC requests under contention
If a set of LL/SC requests contend on the same cache block we
can get into a situation where CPUs will deadlock if they expect
a failed SC to supply them data.  This case happens where 3 or
more cores are contending for a cache block using LL/SC and the system
is configured where 2 cores are connected to a local bus and the
third is connected to a remote bus.  If a core on the local bus
sends an SCUpgrade and the core on the remote bus sends and SCUpgrade
they will race to see who will win the SC access.  In the meantime
if the other core appends a read to one of the SCUpgrades it will expect
to be supplied data by that SCUpgrade transaction.  If it happens that
the SCUpgrade that was picked to supply the data is failed, it will
drop the appended request for data and never respond, leaving the requesting
core to deadlock.  This patch makes all SC's behave as normal stores to
prevent this case but still makes sure to check whether it can perform
the update.

0756406739 mem: Add utility script to plot DRAM efficiency sweep
This patch adds basic functionality to quickly visualise the output
from the DRAM efficiency script. There are some unfortunate hacks
needed to communicate the needed information from one script to the
other, and we fall back on (ab)using the simout to do this.

As part of this patch we also trim the efficiency sweep to stop at 512
bytes as this should be sufficient for all forseeable DRAMs.

71769d2d7b dev: Avoid invalid sized reads in PL390 with DPRINTF enabled
The first DPRINTF() in PL390::writeDistributor always read a uint32_t, though a
packet may have only been 1 or 2 bytes.  This caused an assertion in
packet->get().

87f6034462 sim: Fix checkpoint restore for Ticked
This patch makes restoring the 'lastStopped' value for Ticked-containing
objects (including MinorCPU) optional so that Ticked-containing objects
can be restored from non-Ticked-containing objects (such as AtomicSimpleCPU).

326662b01b arch, cpu: Factor out the ExecContext into a proper base class
We currently generate and compile one version of the ISA code per CPU
model. This is obviously wasting a lot of resources at compile
time. This changeset factors out the interface into a separate
ExecContext class, which also serves as documentation for the
interface between CPUs and the ISA code. While doing so, this
changeset also fixes up interface inconsistencies between the
different CPU models.

The main argument for using one set of ISA code per CPU model has
always been performance as this avoid indirect branches in the
generated code. However, this argument does not hold water. Booting
Linux on a simulated ARM system running in atomic mode
(opt/10.linux-boot/realview-simple-atomic) is actually 2% faster
(compiled using clang 3.4) after applying this patch. Additionally,
compilation time is decreased by 35%.

e1ac962939 arch: Cleanup unused ISA traits constants
This patch prunes unused values, and also unifies how the values are
defined (not using an enum for ALPHA), aligning the use of int vs Addr
etc.

The patch also removes the duplication of PageBytes/PageShift and
VMPageSize/LogVMPageSize. For all ISAs the two pairs had identical
values and the latter has been removed.

23c8540756 config: Change parsing of Addr so hex values work from scripts
When passed from a configuration script with a hexadecimal value (like
"0x80000000"), gem5 would error out. This is because it would call
"toMemorySize" which requires the argument to end with a size specifier (like
1MB, etc).

This modification makes it so raw hex values can be passed through Addr
parameters from the configuration scripts.

7a0d5aafe4 ruby: message buffers: significant changes
This patch is the final patch in a series of patches.  The aim of the series
is to make ruby more configurable than it was.  More specifically, the
connections between controllers are not at all possible (unless one is ready
to make significant changes to the coherence protocol).  Moreover the buffers
themselves are magically connected to the network inside the slicc code.
These connections are not part of the configuration file.

This patch makes changes so that these connections will now be made in the
python configuration files associated with the protocols.  This requires
each state machine to expose the message buffers it uses for input and output.
So, the patch makes these buffers configurable members of the machines.

The patch drops the slicc code that usd to connect these buffers to the
network.  Now these buffers are exposed to the python configuration system
as Master and Slave ports.  In the configuration files, any master port
can be connected any slave port.  The file pyobject.cc has been modified to
take care of allocating the actual message buffer.  This is inline with how
other port connections work.

00286fc5cb build opts: add MI_example to NULL ISA
A later changeset changes the file src/python/swig/pyobject.cc to include
a header file that includes a header file generated at build time depending
on the PROTOCOL in use.  Since NULL ISA was not specifying any protocol,
this resulted in compilation problems.  Hence, the changeset.

cee8faaad0 ruby: slicc: change the way configurable members are specified
There are two changes this patch makes to the way configurable members of a
state machine are specified in SLICC.  The first change is that the data
member declarations will need to be separated by a semi-colon instead of a
comma.  Secondly, the default value to be assigned would now use SLICC's
assignment operator i.e. ':='.

b1d3873ec5 ruby: slicc: improve the grammar
This patch changes the grammar for SLICC so as to remove some of the
redundant / duplicate rules.  In particular rules for object/variable
declaration and class member declaration have been unified. Similarly, the
rules for a general function and a class method have been unified.

One more change is in the priority of two rules.  The first rule is on
declaring a function with all the params typed and named.  The second rule is
on declaring a function with all the params only typed.  Earlier the second
rule had a higher priority.  Now the first rule has a higher priority.

82d136285d ruby: move files from ruby/system to ruby/structures
The directory ruby/system is crowded and unorganized. Hence, the files the
hold actual physical structures, are being moved to the directory
ruby/structures.  This includes Cache Memory, Directory Memory,
Memory Controller, Wire Buffer, TBE Table, Perfect Cache Memory, Timer Table,
Bank Array.

The directory ruby/systems has the glue code that holds these structures
together.

01f792a367 ruby: Fixes clock domains in configuration files
This patch fixes scripts related to ruby by adding the ruby clock domain.
Now the L1 controllers and  the Sequencer shares the cpu clock domain,
while the rest of the components use the ruby clock domain.

Before this patch, running simulations with the cpu clock set at 2GHz or
1GHz will output the same time results and could distort power measurements.

35bc5210d3 style: Fixup strange semantics in hg m5style
The 'hg m5style' command had some rather strange semantics. When

a list of files, it used that list as an ignore list instead of
specifically checking those files.

This patch makes the m5style command behave more like other Mercurial
commands where the arguments are used to specify which files to work
on instead of which files to ignore.

56b7796e0d mem: Fix address interleaving bug in DRAM controller
This patch fixes a bug in the DRAM controller address decoding. In
cases where the DRAM burst size (e.g. 32 bytes in a rank with a single
LPDDR3 x32) was smaller than the channel interleaving size
(e.g. systems with a 64-byte cache line) one address bit effectively
got used as a channel bit when it should have been a low-order column
bit.

This patch adds a notion of "columns per stripe", and more clearly
deals with the low-order column bits and high-order column bits. The
patch also relaxes the granularity check such that it is possible to
use interleaving granularities other than the cache line size.

The patch also adds a missing M5_CLASS_VAR_USED to the tCK member as
it is only used in the debug build for now.

 * Certain versions of libstdc++ (primarily 4.8) use struct and class

 * Swig has a tendency to generate code with the register class which
   was deprecated in C++11. This triggers a deprecation warning in
   clang.

 * Swig sometimes generates Python wrapper code which returns
   uninitialized values. It's unclear if this is actually a problem
   (the cases might be limited to failure paths). We'll silence these
   warnings for now since there is little we can do about the
   generated code.

25f5a6733c cpu: Don't forward declare RefCountingPtr
RefCountingPtr is sometimes forward declared to avoid having to

only reason this currently works is that we include refcnt.hh in

refcnt.hh.
