This patch removes calls to uu_ProfileMiss from transitions where the request
is satisfied by the L2 cache controller.

This patch adds and removes included files from some of the files so as to
organize remove some false dependencies and include some files directly
instead of transitively.

SLICC uses pointers for cache and TBE entries but not for directory entries.
This patch changes the protocols, SLICC and Ruby memory system so that even
directory entries are referenced using pointers.

This patch changes the implementation of Ruby's recvTiming() function so
that it pushes a packet in to the Sequencer instead of a RubyRequest. This
requires changes in the Sequencer's makeRequest() and issueRequest()
functions, as they also need to operate on a Packet instead of RubyRequest.
This patch adds a fault model, which provides the probability of a number of
architectural faults in the interconnection network (e.g., data corruption,
misrouting). These probabilities can be used to realistically inject faults
in GARNET and faithfully evaluate the effectiveness of novel resilient NoC
architectures.
This patch removes some of the unused typedefs. It also moves
some of the typedefs from Global.hh to TypeDefines.hh. The patch
also eliminates the file NodeID.hh.
In RubySlicc_ComponentMapping.hh, certain '#define's have been used for
mapping MachineType to GenericMachineType. These '#define's are being
eliminated and the code will now be generated by SLICC instead. Also
are being eliminated some of the unused functions from
RubySlicc_ComponentMapping.sm.
PageTable supported an allocate() call that called back
through the Process to allocate memory, but did not have
a method to map addresses without allocating new pages.
It makes more sense for Process to do the allocation, so
this method was renamed allocateMem() and moved to Process,
and uses a new map() call on PageTable.
The remaining uses of the process pointer in PageTable
were only to get the name and the PID, so by passing these
in directly in the constructor, we can make PageTable
completely independent of Process.
Initialize flags via the Event constructor instead of calling
setFlags() in the body of the derived class's constructor. I
forget exactly why, but this made life easier when implementing
multi-queue support.
Also rename Event::getFlags() to isFlagSet() to better match
common usage, and get rid of some unused Event methods.
Check that we're not currently writing back an address the prefetcher is trying
to prefetch before issuing it. We previously checked the mshrQueue and the cache
itself, but forgot to check the writeBuffer. This fixes a memory corrucption
issue with an L2 prefetcher.
Do some minor cleanup of some recently added comments, a warning, and change
other instances of stack extension to be like what's now being done for x86.
Even though the code is safe, compiler flags a warning here, which are treated as errors for fast/opt. I know it's redundant but it has no side effects and fixes the compile.
In the current implementation of Functional Accesses, it's very hard to
implement broadcast or snooping protocols where the memory has no idea if it
has exclusive access to a cache block or not. Without this knowledge, making
sure the RW vs. RO permissions are right are next to impossible. So we add a
new state called Backing_Store to enable the conveyance that this is the backup
storage for a block, so that it can be written if it is the only possibly RW
block in the system, or written even if there is another RW block in the
system, without causing problems.
Also, a small change to actually set the m_name field for each Controller so
that debugging can be easier. Now you can access a controller's name just by
controller->getName().
This patch replaces RUBY with PROTOCOL in all the SConscript files as
the environment variable that decides whether or not certain components
of the simulator are compiled.
This patch drops RUBY as a compile time option. Instead the PROTOCOL option
is used to figure out whether or not to build Ruby. If the specified protocol
is 'None', then Ruby is not compiled.
Currently, functions associated with a controller go into separate files.
This patch puts all the functions in the controller's .cc file. This should
hopefully take away some time from compilation.
Prefetch requests issued from the L2 or below wouldn't check if valid data is
present higher in the system. If a prefetch into the L2 occured at the same
time as writeback from a higher-level cache the dirty data could be replaced
in by unmodified data in memory.
This makes it possible to use the grammar multiple times and use the multiple
instances concurrently. This makes implementing an include statement as part
of a grammar possible.
Addition of functional access support to Ruby necessitated some changes to
the way coherence protocols are written. I had forgotten to update the
Network_test protocol. This patch makes those updates.
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 code for Set class was written under the assumption that
std::numeric_limits<long>::digits returns the number of bits used for
data type long, which was presumed to be either 32 or 64. But return value
is actually one less, that is, it is either 31 or 63. The value is now
being incremented by 1 so as to correctly set it.
The access permissions for the directory entries are not being set correctly.
This is because pointers are not used for handling directory entries.
function. get and set functions for access permissions have been added to the
Controller state machine. The changePermission() function provided by the
AbstractEntry and AbstractCacheEntry classes has been exposed to SLICC
code once again. The set_permission() functionality has been removed.
NOTE: Each protocol will have to define these get and set functions in order
to compile successfully.
Currently, the machine name is appended before any of the functions
defined with in the sm files. This is not necessary and it also
means that these functions cannot be used outside the sm files.
This patch does away with the prefixes. Note that the generated
C++ files in which the code for these functions is present are
still named such that the machine name is the prefix.
