The traversal of drainable objects could potentially be
non-deterministic when using an unordered set containing object
pointers. To ensure that the iteration is deterministic, we switch to
a vector. Note that the lookup and traversal of the drainable objects
is not performance critical, so the change has no negative consequences.
Several large changes happen in this patch.
The FDEntry class is rewritten so that file descriptors now correspond to
types: 'File' which is normal file-backed file with the file open on the
host machine, 'Pipe' which is a pipe that has been opened on the host machine,
and 'Device' which does not have an open file on the host yet acts as a pseudo
device with which to issue ioctls. Other types which might be added in the
future are directory entries and sockets (off the top of my head).
The FDArray class was create to hold most of the file descriptor handling
that was stuffed into the Process class. It uses shared pointers and
the std::array type to hold the FDEntries mentioned above.
The changes to these two classes needed to be propagated out to the rest
of the code so there were quite a few changes for that. Also, comments were
added where I thought they were needed to help others and extend our
DOxygen coverage.
Moves aux_vector into its own .hh and .cc files just to get it out of the
already crowded Process files. Arguably, it could stay there, but it's
probably better just to move it and give it files.
The changeset looks ugly around the Process header file, but the goal here is
to move methods and members around so that they're not defined randomly
throughout the entire header file. I expect this is likely one of the reasons
why I several unused variables related to this class. So, the methods are
declared first followed by members. I've tried to aggregate them together
so that similar entries reside near one another.
There are other changes coming to this code so this is by no means the
final product.
The numCpus method is misleading in that it's not really a measure of
how many CPUs might be executing a process, but how many thread contexts
are assigned to the process at any given point in time.
It's nice to highlight this distinction because thread contexts are never
reused in the same way that a CPU can be reused for multiple processes.
The reason that there is no reuse is that there is no CPU scheduler for SE.
The tru64 code intends to use this method and the accompanying contextIDs
field to support SMT and track the number of threads with some system calls.
With the up coming clone and exec patches, this paradigm must change. There
needs to be a 1:1 mapping between the thread contexts and processes so that
the process state between threads is allowed to vary when needed by Linux.
This should not break SMT for tru64 if the Process class is refactored so that
multiple Processes can share state between themselves. The following patches
will do the refactoring incrementally as features are added.
It looks like tru64 has some nxm* system calls, but the two fields that
are defined in the Process class are unused by any of the code. There doesn't
appear to be any reference in the tru64 code.
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.
Turns out that SPARC SE mode relied on M5_pid being "0" in
all cases. The entries in the SPARC TLBs are accessed with
M5_pid as their context. This is buggy in the sense that it
will never work with more than one process or any
initialization that doesn't have the M5_pid value passed in
as "0".
cd7f3a1dbf55 broke the SPARC build because it deletes M5_pid
and uses a _pid with a default of "100" instead. This caused
the SPARC TLB to never return any valid lookups for any
request; the program never moved past the first instruction
with SPARC SE in the regression tester.
The solution proposed in this changeset is to initialize
the address space identification register with the PID value
that is passed into the process class as a parameter from
Python. This should return the correct responses from the TLB
since the insertions and lookups into the page table will be
using the same PID.
Furthermore, there are corner cases in the code which elevate
privileges and revert to using context "0" as the context in
the TLB. I believe that these are related to kernel level
traps and hypervisor privilege escalations, but I'm not
completely sure. I've tried to address the corner cases
properly, but it would be beneficial to have someone who is
familiar with the SPARC architecture to take a look at this
fix.

Assertion in the respondEvent erroneously fired.
The assertion verifies that the controller has not moved to a low-power
state prior to receiving read data from the memory.
The original assertion triggered if the state was not:
PWR_IDLE or PWR_ACT.
In the case that failed, a periodic refresh event occurred around the
read. The REF is stalled until the final read burst is issued
and the subsequent PRE closes the bank. While the PRE will temporarily
move the state to PWR_IDLE, state will immediately transition to PWR_REF
due to the pending refresh operation. This state does not match the
assertion, which is subsequently triggered.
Fixed the assertion by explicitly checking that the state is not a low
power state

When in 64-bit mode, if the stack is accessed implicitly by an instruction
the alternate address prefix should be ignored if present.
This patch adds an extra flag to the ldstop which signifies when the
address override should be ignored. Then, for all of the affected
instructions, this patch adds two options to the ld and st opcode to use
the current stack addressing mode for all addresses and to ignore the
AddressSizeFlagBit. Finally, this patch updates the x86 TLB to not
truncate the address if it is in 64-bit mode and the IgnoreAddrSizeFlagBit
is set.
This fixes a problem when calling __libc_start_main with a binary that is
linked with a recent version of ld. This version of ld uses the address
override prefix (0x67) on the call instruction instead of a nop.
Note: This has not been tested in compatibility mode and only the call
instruction with the address override prefix has been tested.

SyctemC component (e.g. when a gem5 CPU sends a request to a SystemC

The CxxConfigManager schould create objects by traversing the object tree
starting from the root object. However, currently objects are created in
aplphabetical order, which only works if the root object alphabetically
comes before any system object (e.g. 'root' < 'system'. Otherwise (e.g.
'a_system' < 'root'), object construction may fail. The reason for this
behaviour is, that the call to findObject() in the sorting code also
constructs the object if it is not yet existent. Then findTraversalOrder()
calls findObject("root") and subseqeuently calls findObject() on all the
children, and so on. However, the call to findTraversalOrder() is
redundant, since all objects are already created in alphabetical order.
This patch simply removes the alphabetical ordering, leading to the objects
being created starting from 'root'.
