c033ead992 base: Fix race in PollQueue and remove SIGALRM workaround
There is a race between enabling asynchronous IO for a file descriptor
and IO events happening on that descriptor. A SIGIO won't normally be
delivered if an event is pending when asynchronous IO is
enabled. Instead, the signal will be raised the next time there is an
event on the FD. This changeset simulates a SIGIO by setting the
async_io flag when setting up asynchronous IO for an FD. This causes
the main event loop to poll all file descriptors to check for pending
IO. As a consequence of this, the old SIGALRM hack should no longer be
needed and is therefore removed.

9c57d5b5a6 base: Clean up signal handling
The PollEvent class dynamically installs a SIGIO and SIGALRM handler
when a file handler is registered. Most signal handlers currently get
registered in the initSignals() function. This changeset moves the
SIGIO/SIGALRM handlers to initSignals() to live with the other signal
handlers. The original code installs SIGIO and SIGALRM with the
SA_RESTART option to prevent syscalls from returning EINTR. This
changeset consistently uses this flag for all signal handlers to
ensure that other signals that trigger asynchronous behavior (e.g.,
statistics dumping) do not cause undesirable EINTR returns.

4b8be6a90b kvm: Set the perf exclude_host attribute if available
The performance counting framework in Linux 3.2 and onwards supports
an attribute to exclude events generated by the host when running
KVM. Setting this attribute allows us to get more reliable
measurements of the guest machine. For example, on a highly loaded
system, the instruction counts from the guest can be severely
distorted by the host kernel (e.g., by page fault handlers).

This changeset introduces a check for the attribute and enables it in
the KVM CPU if present.

de366a16f1 sim: simulate with multiple threads and event queues
This patch adds support for simulating with multiple threads, each of
which operates on an event queue.  Each sim object specifies which eventq
is would like to be on.  A custom barrier implementation is being added
using which eventqs synchronize.

The patch was tested in two different configurations:
1. ruby_network_test.py: in this simulation L1 cache controllers receive
   requests from the cpu. The requests are replied to immediately without
   any communication taking place with any other level.
2. twosys-tsunami-simple-atomic: this configuration simulates a client-server
   system which are connected by an ethernet link.

We still lack the ability to communicate using message buffers or ports. But
other things like simulation start and end, synchronizing after every quantum
are working.

8a53da22c2 cpu: allow the fetch buffer to be smaller than a cache line
the current implementation of the fetch buffer in the o3 cpu
is only allowed to be the size of a cache line. some
architectures, e.g., ARM, have fetch buffers smaller than a cache
line, see slide 22 at:
http://www.arm.com/files/pdf/at-exploring_the_design_of_the_cortex-a15.pdf

a2c21d47a8 tests: suppress output on switcheroo tests
The output from the switcheroo tests is voluminous and
(because it includes timestamps) highly sensitive to
minor changes, leading to extremely large updates to the
reference outputs.  This patch addresses this problem
by suppressing output from the tests.  An internal
parameter can be set to enable the output.  Wiring that
up to a command-line flag (perhaps even the rudimantary
-v/-q options in m5/main.py) is left for future work.

bb572663cf mem: Add a simple adaptive version of the open-page policy
This patch adds a basic adaptive version of the open-page policy that
guides the decision to keep open or close by looking at the contents
of the controller queues. If no row hits are found, and bank conflicts
are present, then the row is closed by means of an auto
precharge. This is a well-known technique that should improve
performance in most use-cases.

This patch changes the tXAW constraint so that it is enforced per rank
rather than globally for all ranks in the channel. It also avoids
using the bank freeAt to enforce the activation limit, as doing so
also precludes performing any column or row command to the
DRAM. Instead the patch introduces a new variable actAllowedAt for the
banks and use this to track when a potential activation can occur.

be4aa2b6ba dev: Fix race conditions in IDE device on newer kernels
Newer linux kernels and distros exercise more functionality in the IDE device
than previously, exposing 2 races. The first race is the handling of aborted
DMA commands would immediately report the device is ready back to the kernel
and cause already in flight commands to assert the simulator when they returned
and discovered an inconsitent device state.  The second race was due to the
Status register not being handled correctly, the interrupt status bit would get
stuck at 1 and the driver eventually views this as a bad state and logs the
condition to the terminal.  This patch fixes these two conditions by making the
device handle aborted commands gracefully and properly handles clearing the
interrupt status bit in the Status register.

15938e0492 config: Fix handling of parents for simobject vectors
SimObjectVector objects did not provide the same interface to

SimObject.  It also handled assigning a _parent incorrectly
if objects in a SimObjectVector were changed post-creation,
leading to errors later when the simulator tried to execute.

6b4543184e sim: added option to serialize SimLoopExitEvent
SimLoopExitEvents weren't serialized by default. Some benchmarks

pseudo ops by default. Does not affect other generic
SimLoopExitEvents.

This patch adds missing initializations of the SenderMachine field of
out_msg's when thery are created in the L2 cache controller of the
MOESI_CMP_directory coherence protocol. When an out_msg is created and this

80fa6a0edc ruby: Fixed a deadlock when restoring a checkpoint with garnet
This patch fixes a problem where in Garnet, the enqueue time in the
VCallocator and the SWallocator which is of type Cycles was being stored
inside a variable with int type.

This lead to a known problem restoring checkpoints with garnet & the fixed
pipeline enabled. That value was really big and didn't fit in the variable
overflowing it, therefore some conditions on the VC allocation stage & the
SW allocation stage were not met and the packets didn't advance through the
network, leading to a deadlock panic right after the checkpoint was restored.

is attempted to be executed before it reaches the head of the ROB. It is
determined to be uncacheable, and is replayed, but a PanicFault is attached

time, the TLB returns a delayed translation when the load is replayed at
the head of the ROB, however the LSQ code can't differntiate between the
old fault and the new one. If the translation isn't complete it can't
be faulting, so clear the fault.

b10ff075b1 ruby: eliminate non-determinism from ruby.stats output
Get rid of non-deterministic "stats" in ruby.stats output
such as time & date of run, elapsed & CPU time used,
and memory usage.  These values cause spurious
miscomparisons when looking at output diffs (though
they don't affect regressions, since the regressions
pass/fail status currently ignores ruby.stats entirely).

Most of this information is already captured in other
places (time & date in stdout, elapsed time & mem usage
in stats.txt), where the regression script is smart
enough to filter it out.  It seems easier to get rid of
the redundant output rather than teaching the
regression tester to ignore the same information in
two different places.

5526221847 cpu/o3: clean up rename map and free list
Restructured rename map and free list to clean up some
extraneous code and separate out common code that can
be reused across different register classes (int and fp
at this point).  Both components now consist of a set
of Simple* objects that are stand-alone rename map &
free list for each class, plus a Unified* object that
presents a unified interface across all register
classes and then redirects accesses to the appropriate
Simple* object as needed.

Moved free list initialization to PhysRegFile to better
isolate knowledge of physical register index mappings
to that class (and remove the need to pass a number
of parameters to the free list constructor).

Causes a small change to these stats:
  cpu.rename.int_rename_lookups
  cpu.rename.fp_rename_lookups
because they are now categorized on a per-operand basis
rather than a per-instruction basis.
That is, an instruction with mixed fp/int/misc operand
types will have each operand categorized independently,
where previously the lookup was categorized based on
the instruction type.

4f5775df64 mem: Rename the ASI_BITS flag field in Request
ASI_BITS in the Request object were originally used to store a memory
request's ASI on SPARC. This is not the case any more since other ISAs
use the ASI bits to store architecture-dependent information. This
changeset renames the ASI_BITS to ARCH_BITS which better describes
their use. Additionally, the getAsi() accessor is renamed to
getArchFlags().

fec2dea5c3 x86: Add support for m5ops through a memory mapped interface
In order to support m5ops in virtualized environments, we need to use
a memory mapped interface. This changeset adds support for that by
reserving 0xFFFF0000-0xFFFFFFFF and mapping those to the generic IPR
interface for m5ops. The mapping is done in the
X86ISA::TLB::finalizePhysical() which means that it just works for all
of the CPU models, including virtualized ones.

d9856f33a4 arch: Add support for m5ops using mmapped IPRs
In order to support m5ops on virtualized CPUs, we need to either
intercept hypercall instructions or provide a memory mapped m5ops
interface. Since KVM does not normally pass the results of hypercalls
to userspace, which makes that method unfeasible. This changeset
introduces support for m5ops using memory mapped mmapped IPRs. This is
implemented by adding a class of "generic" IPRs which are handled by
architecture-independent code. Such IPRs always have bit 63 set and
are handled by handleGenericIprRead() and
handleGenericIprWrite(). Platform specific impementations of
handleIprRead and handleIprWrite should use
GenericISA::isGenericIprAccess to determine if an IPR address should
be handled by the generic code instead of the architecture-specific
code. Platforms that don't need their own IPR support can reuse
GenericISA::handleIprRead() and GenericISA::handleIprWrite().

654d1e675a x86: Add support for loading 32-bit and 80-bit floats in the x87
The x87 FPU supports three floating point formats: 32-bit, 64-bit, and
80-bit floats. The current gem5 implementation supports 32-bit and
64-bit floats, but only works correctly for 64-bit floats. This
changeset fixes the 32-bit float handling by correctly loading and
rounding (using truncation) 32-bit floats instead of simply truncating
the bit pattern.

80-bit floats are loaded by first loading the 80-bits of the float to
two temporary integer registers. A micro-op (cvtint_fp80) then
converts the contents of the two integer registers to the internal FP
representation (double). Similarly, when storing an 80-bit float,
there are two conversion routines (ctvfp80h_int and cvtfp80l_int) that
convert an internal FP register to 80-bit and stores the upper 64-bits
or lower 32-bits to an integer register, which is the written to
memory using normal integer stores.

c299dcedc6 x86: Fix re-entrancy problems in x87 store instructions
X87 store instructions typically loads and pops the top value of the
stack and stores it in memory. The current implementation pops the
stack at the same time as the floating point value is loaded to a
temporary register. This will corrupt the state of the x87 stack if
the store fails. This changeset introduces a pop87 micro-instruction
that pops the stack and uses this instruction in the affected
macro-instructions to pop the stack after storing the value to memory.

469f2e31cf kvm: Add support for thread-specific instruction events
Instruction events are currently ignored when executing in KVM. This
changeset adds support for triggering KVM exits based on instruction
counts using hardware performance counters. Depending on the
underlying performance counter implementation, there might be some
inaccuracies due to instructions being counted in the host kernel when
entering/exiting KVM.

Due to limitations/bugs in Linux's performance counter interface, we
can't reliably change the period of an overflow counter. We work
around this issue by detaching and reattaching the counter if we need
to reconfigure it.

86bade714e kvm: FPU synchronization support on x86
This changeset adds support for synchronizing the FPU and SIMD state
of a virtual x86 CPU with gem5. It supports both the XSave API and the
KVM_(GET|SET)_FPU kernel API. The XSave interface can be disabled
using the useXSave parameter (in case of kernel
issues). Unfortunately, KVM_(GET|SET)_FPU interface seems to be buggy
in some kernels (specifically, the MXCSR register isn't always
synchronized), which means that it might not be possible to
synchronize MXCSR on old kernels without the XSave interface.

This changeset depends on the __float80 type in gcc and might not
build using llvm.

cccca70149 x86: Add support routines to load and store 80-bit floats
The x87 FPU on x86 supports extended floating point. We currently

loads/stores. This changeset add a utility function to load and
convert 80-bit floats to doubles (loadFloat80) and another function to
store doubles as 80-bit floats (storeFloat80). Both functions use
libfputils to do the conversion in software. The functions are
currently not used, but are required to handle floating point in KVM
and to properly support all x87 loads/stores.

* The busy bit in TR is forced to 1.
* The protection level of SS is forced to the same protection level as

599b59b387 kvm: Initial x86 support
This changeset adds support for KVM on x86. Full support is split
across a number of commits since some features are relatively
complex. This changeset includes support for:

 * Integer state synchronization (including segment regs)
 * CPUID (gem5's CPUID values are inserted into KVM)
 * x86 legacy IO (remapped and handled by gem5's memory system)
 * Memory mapped IO
 * PCI
 * MSRs
 * State dumping

Most of the functionality is fairly straight forward. There are some
quirks to support PCI enumerations since this is done in the TLB(!) in
the simulated CPUs. We currently replicate some of that code.

Unlike the ARM implementation, the x86 implementation of the virtual
CPU does not use the cycles hardware counter. KVM on x86 simulates the
time stamp counter (TSC) in the kernel. If we just measure host cycles
using perfevent, we might end up measuring a slightly different number
of cycles. If we don't get the cycle accounting right, we might end up
rewinding the TSC, with all kinds of chaos as a result.

An additional feature of the KVM CPU on x86 is extended state
dumping. This enables Python scripts controlling the simulator to
request dumping of a subset of the processor state. The following
methods are currenlty supported:

 * dumpFpuRegs
 * dumpIntRegs
 * dumpSpecRegs
 * dumpDebugRegs
 * dumpXCRs
 * dumpXSave
 * dumpVCpuEvents
 * dumpMSRs

Known limitations:
  * M5 ops are currently not supported.
  * FPU synchronization is not supported (only affects CPU switching).

Both of the limitations will be addressed in separate commits.

There is a possibility that the timespec used to arm a timer becomes
zero if the number of ticks used when arming a timer is close to the
resolution of the timer. Due to the semantics of POSIX timers, this
actually disarms the timer. This changeset fixes this issue by
eliminating the rounding error (we always round away from zero
now). It also reuses the minimum number of cycles, which were
previously only used for cycle-based timers, to calculate a more
useful resolution.

cc155ffa0d ruby: Fix Topology throttle connections
The Topology source sets up input and output buffers for each of the external
nodes of a topology by indexing on Ruby's generated controller unique IDs.
These unique IDs are found by adding the MachineType_base_number to the version
number of each controller (see any generated *_Controller.cc - init() calls
getToNetQueue and getFromNetQueue using m_version + base). However, the
Topology object used the cntrl_id - which is required to be unique across all
controllers - to index the controllers list as they are being connected to
their input and output buffers. If the cntrl_ids did not match the Ruby unique
ID, the throttles end up connected to incorrectly indexed nodes in the network,
resulting in packets traversing incorrect network paths. This patch fixes the
Topology indexing scheme by using the Ruby unique ID to match that of the
SimpleNetwork buffer vectors.

a1f9081bab cpu: Dynamically instantiate O3 CPU LSQUnits
Previously, the LSQ would instantiate MaxThreads LSQUnits in the body of it's
object, but it would only initialize numThreads LSQUnits as specified by the

number of threads was less than MaxThreads, and when adding statistics to the
LSQUnit that must be initialized, this caused the stats initialization check to
fail. By dynamically instantiating LSQUnits, they are all initialized and this
avoids uninitialized LSQUnits from floating around during runtime.

c1cf55c738 ruby: Statically allocate stats in SimpleNetwork, Switch, Throttle
The previous changeset (9863:9483739f83ee) used STL vector containers to
dynamically allocate stats in the Ruby SimpleNetwork, Switch and Throttle. For
gcc versions before at least 4.6.3, this causes the standard vector allocator
to call Stats copy constructors (a no-no, since stats should be allocated in
the body of each SimObject instance). Since the size of these stats arrays is
known at compile time (NOTE: after code generation), this patch changes their
allocation to be static rather than using an STL vector.

This patch gets rid of bytesPerCacheLine parameter and makes the DRAM

This patch adds a burst length in beats for each memory type, an
interface width for each memory type, and the memory controller model
is extended to reason about "system" packets vs "dram" packets and
assemble the responses properly. It means that system packets larger

e7e17f92db power: Add voltage domains to the clock domains
This patch adds the notion of voltage domains, and groups clock
domains that operate under the same voltage (i.e. power supply) into
domains. Each clock domain is required to be associated with a voltage
domain, and the latter requires the voltage to be explicitly set.

A voltage domain is an independently controllable voltage supply being
provided to section of the design. Thus, if you wish to perform
dynamic voltage scaling on a CPU, its clock domain should be
associated with a separate voltage domain.

The current implementation of the voltage domain does not take into
consideration cases where there are derived voltage domains running at
ratio of native voltage domains, as with the case where there can be
on-chip buck/boost (charge pumps) voltage regulation logic.

The regression and configuration scripts are updated with a generic
voltage domain for the system, and one for the CPUs.

2a675aecb9 mem: Add an internal packet queue in SimpleMemory
This patch adds a packet queue in SimpleMemory to avoid using the
packet queue in the port (and thus have no involvement in the flow
control). The port queue was bound to 100 packets, and as the
SimpleMemory is modelling both a controller and an actual RAM, it
potentially has a large number of packets in flight. There is
currently no limit on the number of packets in the memory controller,
but this could easily be added in a follow-on patch.

As a result of the added internal storage, the functional access and
draining is updated. Some minor cleaning up and renaming has also been
done.

The memtest regression changes as a result of this patch and the stats
will be updated.

9b2effd9e2 cpu: Fix a bug in the O3 CPU introduced by the cache line patch
This patch fixes a bug in the O3 fetch stage that was introduced when
the cache line size was moved to the system. By mistake, the
initialisation and resetting of the fetch stage was merged and put in
the constructor. The resetting is now re-added where it should be.

d4273cc9a6 mem: Set the cache line size on a system level
This patch removes the notion of a peer block size and instead sets
the cache line size on the system level.

Previously the size was set per cache, and communicated through the
interconnect. There were plenty checks to ensure that everyone had the
same size specified, and these checks are now removed. Another benefit
that is not yet harnessed is that the cache line size is now known at
construction time, rather than after the port binding. Hence, the
block size can be locally stored and does not have to be queried every
time it is used.

A follow-on patch updates the configuration scripts accordingly.

502ad1e675 dev: consistently end device classes in 'Device'
PciDev and IntDev stuck out as the only device classes that
ended in 'Dev' rather than 'Device'.  This patch takes care
of that inconsistency.

Note that you may need to delete pre-existing files matching
build/*/python/m5/internal/param_* as scons does not pick up
indirect dependencies on imported python modules when generating
params, and the PciDev -> PciDevice rename takes place in a
file (dev/Device.py) that gets imported quite a bit.

2737650a69 dev/arm: get rid of AmbaDev namespace
It was confusing having an AmbaDev namespace along with an
AmbaDevice class.  The namespace stuff is now moved in to
a new base AmbaDevice class, which is a mixin for classes
AmbaPioDevice (the former AmbaDevice) and AmbaDmaDevice
to provide the readId function as an inherited member function.

b0b1c0205c devices: make more classes derive from BasicPioDevice
A couple of devices that have single fixed memory mapped regions
were not derived from BasicPioDevice, when that's exactly
the functionality that BasicPioDevice provides.  This patch
gets rid of a little bit of redundant code by making those
devices actually do so.

Also fixed the weird case of X86ISA::Interrupts, where
the class already did derive from BasicPioDevice but
didn't actually use all the features it could have.

ac515d7a9b mem: Reorganize cache tags and make them a SimObject
This patch reorganizes the cache tags to allow more flexibility to
implement new replacement policies. The base tags class is now a
clocked object so that derived classes can use a clock if they need
one. Also having deriving from SimObject allows specialized Tag
classes to be swapped in/out in .py files.

The cache set is now templatized to allow it to contain customized
cache blocks with additional informaiton. This involved moving code to
the .hh file and removing cacheset.cc.

The statistics belonging to the cache tags are now including ".tags"
in their name. Hence, the stats need an update to reflect the change
in naming.
