This changeset adds refactors the existing open system call,
adds the openat variant (enabled for x86 builds), and adds
additional "special file" test cases for /proc/meminfo and
/etc/passwd.

The EIOProcess class was removed recently and it was the only other class
which derived from Process. Since every Process invocation is also a
LiveProcess invocation, it makes sense to simplify the organization by
combining the fields from LiveProcess into Process.
Used cppclean to help identify useless includes and removed them. This
involved erroneously included headers, but also cases where forward
declarations could have been used rather than a full include.
Add helper functions to dump the guest kernel's dmesg buffer to a text
file in m5out. This functionality is split into two parts. First, a
dmesg dump function that can be used in other places:
void Linux::dumpDmesg(ThreadContext *, std::ostream &)
This function is used to implement two PCEvents: DmesgDumpEvent and
KernelPanic event. The only difference between the two is that the
latter produces a gem5 panic instead of a warning in addition to
dumping the kernel log.

The openFlagTable and mmapFlagTables for emulated Linux
platforms are basically identical, but are specified
repetitively for every platform. Use a common file
that gets included for each platform so that we only
have one copy, making them more consistent and simplifying
changes (like adding #ifdefs).
In the process, made some minor fixes that slipped through
due to previous inconsistencies, and added more #ifdefs
to try to fix building on alternative hosts.
The mmapGrowsDown() method was a static method on the OperatingSystem
class (and derived classes), which worked OK for the templated syscall
emulation methods, but made it hard to access elsewhere. This patch
moves the method to be a virtual function on the LiveProcess method,
where it can be overridden for specific platforms (for now, Alpha).
This patch also changes the value of mmapGrowsDown() from being false
by default and true only on X86Linux32 to being true by default and
false only on Alpha, which seems closer to reality (though in reality
most people use ASLR and this doesn't really matter anymore).
In the process, also got rid of the unused mmap_start field on
LiveProcess and OperatingSystem mmapGrowsUp variable.
The structure definition only had the open system call flag set in mind when
it was named, so we rename it here with the intention of using it to define
additional tables to translate flags for other system calls in the future.
This patch moves away from using M5_ATTR_OVERRIDE and the m5::hashmap
(and similar) abstractions, as these are no longer needed with gcc 4.7
and clang 3.1 as minimum compiler versions.
ARM uses UDelayEvents to emulate kernel __*udelay functions and speed up
simulation. UDelayEvents call Pseudoinst::quiesceNs to quiesce the system for
a specified delay. Changeset 10341:0b4d10f53c2d introduced the requirement
that any quiesce process that is started must also be completed by scheduling
an EndQuiesceEvent. This change causes the CPU to hang if an IsQuiesce
instruction is executed, but the corresponding EndQuiesceEvent is not
scheduled.
Changeset 11058:d0934b57735a introduces a fix for uses of PseudoInst::quiesce*
that would conditionally execute the EndQuiesceEvent. ARM UDelayEvents specify
quiesce period of 0 ns (src/arch/arm/linux/system.cc), so changeset 11058
causes these events to now execute full quiesce processes, greatly increasing
the total instructions executed in kernel delay loops and slowing simulation.
This patch updates the UDelayEvent to conditionally execute
PseudoInst::quiesceNs (**a quiesce operation**) only if the specified
delay is >0 ns. The result is ARM delay loops no longer execute instructions
for quiesce handling, and regression time returns to normal.
The Process class methods were using an improper style and this subsequently

Objects that are can be serialized are supposed to inherit from the
Serializable class. This class is meant to provide a unified API for
such objects. However, so far it has mainly been used by SimObjects
due to some fundamental design limitations. This changeset redesigns
to the serialization interface to make it more generic and hide the
underlying checkpoint storage. Specifically:
* Add a set of APIs to serialize into a subsection of the current
object. Previously, objects that needed this functionality would
use ad-hoc solutions using nameOut() and section name
generation. In the new world, an object that implements the
interface has the methods serializeSection() and
unserializeSection() that serialize into a named /subsection/ of
the current object. Calling serialize() serializes an object into
the current section.
* Move the name() method from Serializable to SimObject as it is no
longer needed for serialization. The fully qualified section name
is generated by the main serialization code on the fly as objects
serialize sub-objects.
* Add a scoped ScopedCheckpointSection helper class. Some objects
need to serialize data structures, that are not deriving from
Serializable, into subsections. Previously, this was done using
nameOut() and manual section name generation. To simplify this,
this changeset introduces a ScopedCheckpointSection() helper
class. When this class is instantiated, it adds a new /subsection/
and subsequent serialization calls during the lifetime of this
helper class happen inside this section (or a subsection in case
of nested sections).
* The serialize() call is now const which prevents accidental state
manipulation during serialization. Objects that rely on modifying
state can use the serializeOld() call instead. The default
implementation simply calls serialize(). Note: The old-style calls
need to be explicitly called using the
serializeOld()/serializeSectionOld() style APIs. These are used by
default when serializing SimObjects.
* Both the input and output checkpoints now use their own named
types. This hides underlying checkpoint implementation from
objects that need checkpointing and makes it easier to change the
underlying checkpoint storage code.
This patch takes a first few steps in transitioning from the ad-hoc
RefCountingPtr to the c++11 shared_ptr. There are no changes in
behaviour, and the code modifications are mainly introducing the
use of make_shared.
Note that the class could use unique_ptr rather than shared_ptr, was
it not for the postfix increment and decrement operators.
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.
This patch makes it possible to once again build gem5 without any
ISA. The main purpose is to enable work around the interconnect and
memory system without having to build any CPU models or device models.
The regress script is updated to include the NULL ISA target. Currently
no regressions make use of it, but all the testers could (and perhaps
should) transition to it.

This patch is a first step to getting NOISA working again. A number of
redundant includes make life more difficult than it has to be and this
patch simply removes them. There are also some redundant forward
declarations removed.
This patch address the most important name shadowing warnings (as
produced when using gcc/clang with -Wshadow). There are many
locations where constructor parameters and function parameters shadow
local variables, but these are left unchanged.
This patch makes the start and end address private in a move to
prevent direct manipulation and matching of ranges based on these
fields. This is done so that a transition to ranges with interleaving
support is possible.
As a result of hiding the start and end, a number of member functions
are needed to perform the comparisons and manipulations that
previously took place directly on the members. An accessor function is
provided for the start address, and a function is added to test if an
address is within a range. As a result of the latter the != and ==
operator is also removed in favour of the member function. A member
function that returns a string representation is also created to allow
debug printing.
In general, this patch does not add any functionality, but it does
take us closer to a situation where interleaving (and more cleverness)
can be added under the bonnet without exposing it to the user. More on
that in a later patch.
This patch ignores the FUTEX_PRIVATE_FLAG of the sys_futex system call
in SE mode.
With this patch, when sys_futex with the options FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE or
FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE is emulated, the FUTEX_PRIVATE_FLAG is ignored and
so their behaviours are the regular FUTEX_WAIT and FUTEX_WAKE.
Emulating FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE and FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE as if they were
non-private is safe from a functional point of view. The
FUTEX_PRIVATE_FLAG does not change the semantics of the futex, it's
just a mechanism to improve performance under certain circunstances
that can be ignored in SE mode.
Enable different whitelists for different OS/arch combinations,
since some use the generic Linux definitions only, and others
use definitions inherited from earlier Unix flavors on those
architectures.
Also update x86 function pointers so ioctl is no longer
unimplemented on that platform.
This patch is a revised version of Vince Weaver's earlier patch.
This patch adds getAddrRanges to the master port, and thus avoids
going through getSlavePort to be able to ask the slave. Similar to the
previous patch that added isSnooping to the SlavePort, this patch aims
to introduce an additional level of hierarchy in the ports (base port
being protocol-agnostic) and getSlave/MasterPort will return port
pointers to these base classes.
The function is named getAddrRanges also on the master port, but does
nothing besides asking the connected slave port. The slave port, as
before, has to provide an implementation and actually produce a list
of address ranges. The initial design used the name getSlaveAddrRanges
for the new function, but the more verbose name was later changed.
This patch fixes two warnings, one related to a narrowing conversion
(int to MachInst), and one due to the cast operator for arguments and
a mismatch in const-ness (const void* and void*).
This patch makes two very minor changes to please gcc 4.7. The
CopyData function no longer exists and this has been replaced. For
some reason previous versions of gcc did not complain on the const
char casting not having an implementation, but this is now addressed.
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 is adding a clearer design intent to all objects that would
not be complete without a port proxy by making the proxies members
rathen than dynamically allocated. In essence, if NULL would not be a
valid value for the proxy, then we avoid using a pointer to make this
clear.
The same approach is used for the methods using these proxies, such as
loadSections, that now use references rather than pointers to better
reflect the fact that NULL would not be an acceptable value (in fact
the code would break and that is how this patch started out).
Overall the concept of "using a reference to express unconditional
composition where a NULL pointer is never valid" could be done on a
much broader scale throughout the code base, but for now it is only
done in the locations affected by the proxies.
This patch continues the unification of how the different CPU models
create and share their instruction and data ports. Most importantly,
it forces every CPU to have an instruction and a data port, and gives
these ports explicit getters in the BaseCPU (getDataPort and
getInstPort). The patch helps in simplifying the code, make
assumptions more explicit, andfurther ease future patches related to
the CPU ports.
The biggest changes are in the in-order model (that was not modified
in the previous unification patch), which now moves the ports from the
CacheUnit to the CPU. It also distinguishes the instruction fetch and
load-store unit from the rest of the resources, and avoids the use of
indices and casting in favour of keeping track of these two units
explicitly (since they are always there anyways). The atomic, timing
and O3 model simply return references to their already existing ports.
This patch cleans up forward declarations and a member-function
prototype that still referred to the old FunctionalPort, VirtualPort
and TranslatingPort. There is no change in functionality.
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.
Port proxies are used to replace non-structural ports, and thus enable
all ports in the system to correspond to a structural entity. This has
the advantage of accessing memory through the normal memory subsystem
and thus allowing any constellation of distributed memories, address
maps, etc. Most accesses are done through the "system port" that is
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.
The following replacements are made:
FunctionalPort > PortProxy
TranslatingPort > SETranslatingPortProxy
VirtualPort > FSTranslatingPortProxy
