This adds support for the 32-bit, big endian Power ISA. This supports both
integer and floating point instructions based on the Power ISA Book I v2.06.
When enabled, faulting instructions appear in the trace twice
(once when they fault and again when they're re-executed).
This flag is set by the Exec compound flag for backwards compatibility.
Get rid of misc.py and just stick misc things in __init__.py
Move utility functions out of SCons files and into m5.util
Move utility type stuff from m5/__init__.py to m5/util/__init__.py
Remove buildEnv from m5 and allow access only from m5.defines
Rename AddToPath to addToPath while we're moving it to m5.util
Rename read_command to readCommand while we're moving it
Rename compare_versions to compareVersions while we're moving it.

TLBUnit no longer used and we also get rid of memAccSize and memAccFlags functions added to ISA and StaticInst
since TLB is not a separate resource to acquire. Instead, TLB access is done before any read/write to memory
and the result is checked before it's sent out to memory.

inorder was incorrectly storing FP values and confusing the integer/fp storage view of floating point operations. A big issue was knowing trying to infer when were doing single or double precision access
because this lets you know the size of value to store (32-64 bits). This isnt exactly straightforward since alpha uses all 64-bit regs while mips/sparc uses a dual-reg view. by getting this value from
the actual floating point register file, the model can figure out what it needs to store
Remove subinstructions eaComp/memAcc since unused in CPU Models. Instead, create eaComp that is visible from StaticInst object. Gives InOrder model capability of generating address without actually initiating access
* * *
Changes so that InOrder can work for a non-delay-slot ISA like Alpha. Typically, changes have to do with handling misspeculated branches at different points in pipeline
Edit AlphaISA to support the inorder model. Mostly alternate constructor functions and also a few skeleton multithreaded support functions
* * *
Remove namespace from header file. Causes compiler issues that are hard to find
* * *
Separate the TLB from the CPU and allow it to live in the TLBUnit resource. Give CPU accessor functions for access and also bind at construction time
* * *
Expose memory access size and flags through instruction object
(temporarily memAccSize and memFlags to get TLB stuff working.)
this was double scheduling itself (once in constructor and once in cpu code). also add support for stopping / starting
progress events through repeatEvent flag and also changing the interval of the progress event as well
For some reason o3 FS init() only called initCPU if the thread state
was Suspended, which was no longer the case. There's no apparent
reason to check, so I whacked the test completely rather than
changing the check to Halted.
The inorder init() was also updated to be symmetric, though the
previous code was just a fancy no-op.
This situation can arise now on the first fetch cycle after
the last active thread is halted. It seems easy enough to
deal with when it happens rather than trying to avoid it.
This provides a common initial status for all threads independent
of CPU model (unlike the prior situation where CPUs initialized
threads to inconsistent states).
This mostly matters for SE mode; in FS mode, ISA-specific startupCPU()
methods generally handle boot-time initialization of thread contexts
(since the right thing to do is ISA-dependent).
Basically merge it in with Halted.
Also had to get rid of a few other functions that
called ThreadContext::deallocate(), including:
- InOrderCPU's setThreadRescheduleCondition.
- ThreadContext::exit(). This function was there to avoid terminating
simulation when one thread out of a multi-thread workload exits, but we
need to find a better (non-cpu-centric) way.
Apparently we broke it with the cache rewrite and never noticed.
Thanks to Bao Yungang <baoyungang@gmail.com> for a significant part
of these changes (and for inspiring me to work on the rest).
Some other overdue cleanup on the prefetch code too.
This model currently only works in MIPS_SE mode, so it will take some effort
to clean it up and make it generally useful. Hopefully people are willing to
help make that happen!
Make interrupts use the new wakeup method, and pull all of the interrupt
stuff into the cpu base class so that only the wakeup code needs to be updated.
I tried to make wakeup, wakeCPU, and the various other mechanisms for waking
and sleeping a little more sane, but I couldn't understand why the statistics
were changing the way they were. Maybe we'll try again some day.
the primary identifier for a hardware context should be contextId(). The
concept of threads within a CPU remains, in the form of threadId() because
sometimes you need to know which context within a cpu to manipulate.
SE. Process still keeps track of the tc's it owns, but registration occurs
with the System, this eases the way for system-wide context Ids based on
registration.
across the subclasses. generally make it so that member data is _cpuId and
accessor functions are cpuId(). The ID val comes from the python (default -1 if
none provided), and if it is -1, the index of cpuList will be given. this has
passed util/regress quick and se.py -n4 and fs.py -n4 as well as standard
switch.
The constructor no-longer schedules an event at construction and the implict conversion between int and bool was allowing the old code to compile without warning.

the instruction after the hwrei to be fetched before the ITB/DTB_CM register is updated in a call pal
call sys and thus the translation fails because the user is attempting to access a super page address.
Minimally, it seems as though some sort of fetch stall or refetch after a hwrei is required. I think
this works currently because the hwrei uses the exec context interface, and the o3 stalls when that occurs.
Additionally, these changes don't update the LOCK register and probably break ll/sc. Both o3 changes were
removed since a great deal of manual patching would be required to only remove the hwrei change.
Make them easier to express by only having the cxx_type parameter which
has the full namespace name, and drop the cxx_namespace thing.
Add support for multiple levels of namespace.
Even though we're not incorrect about operator precedence, let's add
some parens in some particularly confusing places to placate GCC 4.3
so that we don't have to turn the warning off. Agreed that this is a
bit of a pain for those users who get the order of operations correct,
but it is likely to prevent bugs in certain cases.
Fix the logic in the LSQ that determines if there are any stores to
write back. In the commit stage, check for thread specific writebacks
instead of just any writeback.
python type of a latency. In addition, the multiple definitions of profile in the different cpu models caused
problems for intialization of the interval value. If a child class's profile value was defined, the parent
BaseCPU::ProfileEvent interval field would be initialized with a garbage value. The fix was to remove the
multiple redifitions of profile in the child CPU classes.
A whole bunch of stuff has been converted to use the new params stuff, but
the CPU wasn't one of them. While we're at it, make some things a bit
more stylish. Most of the work was done by Gabe, I just cleaned stuff up
a bit more at the end.
