Implement gem5's test infrastructure as a Python module and a run
script that can be used without scons. The new implementation has
several features that were lacking from the previous test
infrastructure such as support for multiple output formats, automatic
runtime tracking, and better support for being run in a cluster
environment.
Tests consist of one or more steps (TestUnit). Units are run in two
stages, the first a run stage and then a verify stage. Units in the
verify stage are automatically skipped if any unit run stage wasn't
run. The library currently contains TestUnit implementations that run
gem5, diff stat files, and diff output files.
Existing tests are implemented by the ClassicTest class and "just
work". New tests can that don't rely on the old "run gem5 once and
diff output" strategy can be implemented by subclassing the Test base
class or ClassicTest.
Test results can be output in multiple formats. The module currently
supports JUnit, text (short and verbose), and Python's pickle
format. JUnit output allows CI systems to automatically get more
information about test failures. The pickled output contains all state
necessary to reconstruct a tests results object and is mainly intended
for the build system and CI systems.
Since many JUnit parsers parsers assume that test suite names look
like Java package names. We currently output path-like names with
slashes separating components. Test names are translated according to
these rules:
* '.' -> '-"
* '/' -> '.'
The test tool, tests.py, supports the following features:
* Test listing. Example: ./tests.py list arm/quick
* Running tests. Example:
./tests.py run -o output.pickle --format pickle \
../build/ARM/gem5.opt \
quick/se/00.hello/arm/linux/simple-timing
* Displaying pickled results. Example:
./tests.py show --format summary *.pickle

The SCons script currently assumes that .git is a proper directory
with all git meta data. This isn't the case if the working directory
was checked out using git worktrees. In such case .git is a file with
meta data telling git where the repository data is stored.
This changeset updates changes the SConstruct file to rely on git
rev-parse to get the real git directory.

The git style hook currently includes a few lines of diff context when

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.

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 is a re-spin of 20264eb after the revert (bd1c6789) and includes
some fixes of that commit.
