The dts files in system/arm/dt currently assume that an (unreleased)
gem5-specific virtual encoder is used as a remote endpoint for the
HDLCD. This driver won't be released as a more general virtual encoder
is about to be posted on the Linux DRI devel list and this encoder has
now been merged with gem5's kernel tree. This changeset updates gem5's
dts files to use that encoder.

The git style hook currently includes a few lines of diff context when
determining changed regions. This is undesirable as this triggers
false positives when modifying existing files with a lot of style
violations. This change sets the amount of context to 0, which is the
default value when requesting staged regions from the git helper.

The LinuxArmSystem class normally provides support for panicing gem5
if the simulated kernel panics. When this is turned off (default),
gem5 uses a BreakPCEvent to provide a debugger hook into the simulator
when the kernel crashes. This hook unconditionally kills gem5 with a
SIGTRAP unless gem5 is compiled in fast mode. This is undesirable
since the panic_on_panic param already provides similar functionality.

The Terminal device currently uses the peek functionality in gem5's
circular buffer implementation to send existing buffered content on
the terminal when a new client attaches. This functionallity is
however not implemented correctly and re-sends the same block multiple
time.
Add the required functionality to peek with an offset into the
circular buffer and change the Terminal::accept() implementation to
send the buffered contents.

Allow usage of packet class in ruby for convenience purposes. This may be
used to access members of the packet/request class (e.g., via helper
functions) and/or push protocol specific information to the packets
SenderState without needing to modify SLICC types and protocols in multiple
locations.
This patch removes the write-queue entry tracking previously used for
uncacheable writes. The write-queue entry is now deallocated as soon
as the packet is sent. As a result we also forego the stats for
uncacheable writes. Additionally, there is no longer a need to attach
the write-queue entry to the packet.
The style checker code needs to disable autojunk when diffing source
files using Python's difflib. Support for this was only introduced in
Python 2.7, which leads to a TypeError exception on older Python
version. This changeset adds a fallback mechanism for old Python
versions.
Ruby's controller block_on behavior aimed to block MessageBuffer requests into
SLICC controllers when a Locked_RMW was in flight. Unfortunately, this
functionality only partially works: When non-Locked_RMW memory accesses are
issued to the sequencer to an address with an in-flight Locked_RMW, the
sequencer may pass those accesses through to the controller. At the controller,
a number of incorrect activities can occur depending on the protocol. In
MOESI_hammer, for example, an intermediate IFETCH will cause an L1D to L2
transfer, which cannot be serviced, because the block_on functionality blocks
the trigger queue, resulting in a deadlock. Further, if an intermediate store
arrives (e.g. from a separate SMT thread), the sequencer allows the request
through to the controller, and the atomicity of the Locked_RMW may be broken.
To avoid these problems, disallow the Sequencer from passing any memory
accesses to the controller besides Locked_RMW_Write when a Locked_RMW is in-
flight.
Remve the assertion that we always need to add a delta larger than

Distributed gem5 is the result of the convergence effort between
multi-gem5 and pd-gem5. It relies on the base multi-gem5 infrastructure
for packet forwarding, synchronisation and checkpointing but combines
those with the elaborated network switch model from pd-gem5.
A few warnings (and thus errors) pop up after being added to -Wall:
1. -Wmisleading-indentation
In the auto-generated code there were instances of if/else blocks that
were not indented to gcc's liking. This is addressed by adding braces.
2. -Wshift-negative-value
gcc is clever enougn to consider ~0 a negative constant, and
rightfully complains. This is addressed by using mask() which
explicitly casts to unsigned before shifting.
That is all. Porting done.
Queued prefetcher entries now count with a priority field. The idea is to
add packets ordered by priority and then by age.
For the existing algorithms in which priority doesn't make sense, it is set
to 0 for all deferred packets in the queue.
Some common functionality added to the base prefetcher, mainly dealing with
extracting the block address, page address, block index inside the page and
some other information that can be inferred from the block address. This is
used for some prefetching algorithms, and having the methods in the base,
as well as the block size and other information is the sensible way.
In general, the ThreadID parameter is unnecessary in the memory system
as the ContextID is what is used for the purposes of locks/wakeups.
Since we allocate sequential ContextIDs for each thread on MT-enabled
CPUs, ThreadID is unnecessary as the CPUs can identify the requesting
thread through sideband info (SenderState / LSQ entries) or ContextID
offset from the base ContextID for a cpu.

This patch adds some basic support for power models in gem5.
The power interface is defined so it can interact with thermal
models as well. It implements a simple power evaluator that
can be used for simple power models that express power in the
form of a math expression. These expressions can use stats
within the same SimObject (or down its hierarchy) and some
magic variables such as "temp" for temperature.
In future patches we will extend this functionality to allow
slightly more complex expressions.
The model allows it to be extended to use other kinds of models.
Finally, the thermal model is updated to use the power usage as input.
Add 4 power states to the ClockedObject, provides necessary access functions
to check and update the power state. Default power state is UNDEFINED, it is
responsibility of the respective simulation model to provide the startup state
and any other logic for state change.
Add number of transition stat.
Add distribution of time spent in clock gated state.
Add power state residency stat.
Add dump call back function to allow stats update of distribution and residency
stats.
This patch enables Linux to read the temperature using hwmon infrastructure.
In order to use this in your gem5 you need to compile the kernel using the
following configs:
CONFIG_HWMON=y
CONFIG_SENSORS_VEXPRESS=y
And a proper dts file (containing an entry such as):
dcc {
compatible = "arm,vexpress,config-bus";
arm,vexpress,config-bridge = <&v2m_sysreg>;
temp@0 {
compatible = "arm,vexpress-temp";
arm,vexpress-sysreg,func = <4 0>;
label = "DCC";
};
};
