This patch adds support to ruby so that the statistics maintained by ruby
are reset/dumped when the statistics for the rest of the system are
reset/dumped. For resetting the statistics, ruby now provides the
resetStats() function that a sim object can provide. As a consequence, the
clearStats() function has been removed from RubySystem. For dumping stats,
Ruby now adds a callback event to the dumpStatsQueue. The exit callback that
ruby used to add earlier is being removed.

Currently the Ruby System maintains pointer to only one of the memory
controllers. But there can be multiple controllers in the system. This
patch adds a vector of memory controllers.
This patch moves the code for functional accesses to ruby system. This is
because the subsequent patches add support for making functional accesses
to the messages in the interconnect. Making those accesses from the ruby port
would be cumbersome.
This patch removes the use of g_system_ptr for event scheduling. Each consumer
object now needs to specify upfront an EventManager object it would use for
scheduling events. This makes the ruby memory system more amenable for a
multi-threaded simulation.
This patch removes printConfig() functions from all structures in Ruby.
Most of the information is already part of config.ini, and where ever it
is not, it would become in due course.
Fixes checkpointing with respect to lost events after swapping event queues.
Also adds DPRINTFs to better understand what's going on when Ruby serializes
and unserializes.
This patch resurrects ruby's cache warmup capability. It essentially
makes use of all the infrastructure that was added to the controllers,
memories and the cache recorder.
This constant is currently in System.hh, but is only used in Set.hh. It
is being moved to Set.hh to remove this artificial dependence of Set.hh
on System.hh.

This patch rpovides functional access support in Ruby. Currently only
the M5Port of RubyPort supports functional accesses. The support for
functional through the PioPort will be added as a separate patch.
The main purpose for clearing stats in the unserialize process is so
that the profiler can correctly set its start time to the unserialized
value of curTick.
In addition to obvious changes, this required a slight change to the slicc
grammar to allow types with :: in them. Otherwise slicc barfs on std::string
which we need for the headers that slicc generates.
Previously, the set size was set to 4. This was mostly do to the fact that a
crazy graduate student use to create networks with 256 l2 cache banks. Now it
is far more likely that users will create systems with less than 64 of any
particular controller type. Therefore Ruby should be optimized for a set size
of 1.
The necessary companion conversion of Ruby objects generated by SLICC
are converted to M5 SimObjects in the following patch, so this patch
alone does not compile.
Conversion of Garnet network models is also handled in a separate
patch; that code is temporarily disabled from compiling to allow
testing of interim code.
Connects M5 cpu and dma ports directly to ruby sequencers and dma
sequencers. Rubymem also includes a pio port so that pio requests
and be forwarded to a special pio bus connecting to device pio
ports.
This changeset contains a lot of different changes that are too
mingled to separate. They are:
1. Added MOESI_CMP_directory
I made the changes necessary to bring back MOESI_CMP_directory,
including adding a DMA controller. I got rid of MOESI_CMP_directory_m
and made MOESI_CMP_directory use a memory controller. Added a new
configuration for two level protocols in general, and
MOESI_CMP_directory in particular.
2. DMA Sequencer uses a generic SequencerMsg
I will eventually make the cache Sequencer use this type as well. It
doesn't contain an offset field, just a physical address and a length.
MI_example has been updated to deal with this.
3. Parameterized Controllers
SLICC controllers can now take custom parameters to use for mapping,
latencies, etc. Currently, only int parameters are supported.
This was done with an automated process, so there could be things that were
done in this tree in the past that didn't make it. One known regression
is that atomic memory operations do not seem to work properly anymore.
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
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).
