Off-by-one loop termination meant that we were stuffing
the terminating '\0' into the std::string value, which
makes for difficult-to-debug string comparison failures.
This replaces a (potentially uninitialized) string
field with a virtual function so that we can have
a safe interface without requiring changes to the
eio code.
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 moves the code related to checkpointing from the run() function to
several different functions. The aim is to make the code more manageable. No
functionality changes are expected, but since the code is kind of unruly, it
is possible that some change might have creeped in.
This changes the way in which the cpu class while restoring from a checkpoint
is set. Earlier it was assumed if cpu type with which to restore is not same
as the cpu type with the which to run the simulation, then the checkpoint
should be restored with the atomic cpu. This assumption is being dropped. The
checkpoint can now be restored with any cpu type, the default being atomic cpu.
when using the checker i ran into problems where an instruction reading the
cpu id register failed because the ids did not match, and hence, the result
of the instruction did not match. this patch ensures that the ids match so
this instruction does not fail. this problem only seemed to manifest itself
when multiple cores were in the system, either multi-core, or extra switched-
out cores present in the system.
removes the optimization that forwards an exclusive copy to a requester on a
read, only for the i-cache. this optimization isn't necessary because we
typically won't be writing to the i-cache.
According to the A15 TRM the value of this register is as follows (assuming 16 word = 64 byte lines)
[31:29] Format - b100 specifies v7
[28] RAZ - b0
[27:24] CWG log2(max writeback size #words) - 0x4 16 words
[23:20] ERG log2(max reservation size #words) - 0x4 16 words
[19:16] DminLine log2(smallest dcache line #words) - 0x4 16 words
[15:14] L1Ip L1 index/tagging policy - b11 specifies PIPT
[13:4] RAZ - b0000000000
[3:0] IminLine log2(smallest icache line #words) - 0x4 16 words
This patch changes the se and fs script to use the clock option and
not simply set the CPUs clock to 2 GHz. It also makes a minor change
to the assignment of the switch_cpus clock to allow different clocks.
This patch changes the simple memory to have a single slave port
rather than a vector port. The simple memory makes no attempts at
modelling the contention between multiple ports, and any such
multiplexing and demultiplexing could be done in a bus (or crossbar)
outside the memory controller. This scenario also matches with the
ongoing work on a SimpleDRAM model, which will be a single-ported
single-channel controller that can be used in conjunction with a bus
(or crossbar) to create a multi-port multi-channel controller.
There are only very few regressions that make use of the vector port,
and these are all for functional accesses only. To facilitate these
cases, memtest and memtest-ruby have been updated to also have a
"functional" bus to perform the (de)multiplexing of the functional
memory accesses.
This patch adds the LIBRARY_PATH from the users OS environment to
Scons build environment. This path is used when linking to search for
libraries, and this patch enables tcmalloc to be used during the build
even if it is not placed in the default search paths.
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.
This enables configuration scripts to set up mappings
from process virtual addresses to specific physical
addresses in SE mode. This feature is needed to
support modeling of user-accessible memories or
devices in SE mode, avoiding the complexities of FS
mode and the need to write a device driver.
This patch models a cache as separate tag and data arrays. The patch exposes
the banked array as another resource that is checked by SLICC before a
transition is allowed to execute. This is similar to how TBE entries and slots
in output ports are modeled.
Updates to Ruby to support statistics counting of cache accesses. This feature
serves multiple purposes beyond simple stats collection. It provides the
foundation for ruby to model the cache tag and data arrays as physical
resources, as well as provide the necessary input data for McPAT power
modeling.
Instead of just passing a list of controllers to the makeTopology function
in src/mem/ruby/network/topologies/<Topo>.py we pass in a function pointer
which knows how to make the topology, possibly with some extra state set
in the configs/ruby/<protocol>.py file. Thus, we can move all of the files
from network/topologies to configs/topologies. A new class BaseTopology
is added which all topologies in configs/topologies must inheirit from and
follow its API.

This patch renames the queue() accessor to the less ambigious
eventQueue, and also removes the cast operator. The queue() member
function cause problems in derived classes that declare members with
the same name, e.g. a MemObject subclass that has a packet queue on
its own. The operator is not causing any harm at this point, but as it
is not used there is little point in keeping it.
