The order between updating and using arg_num in
PseudoInst::pseudoInst() is currently undefined. This changeset
explicitly updates arg_num after it has been used to extract an
argument.

This patch ensures that a dequeue event is not scheduled if the memory
controller is waiting for a retry already. Without this check it is
possible for the controller to attempt sending something whilst
already having one packet that is in retry, thus causing the bus to
have an assertion failure.
This patch fixes an issue which prevented gem5 from running when built
using swig 2.0.9 and 2.0.10. The generated event.py tried to import
m5.internal which in turn relied on importing event. This patch seems
to fix the problem, and so far has not caused any other issues.
In order to support hardware virtualization, we need to be able to
check if there are any interrupts pending irregardless of the
rflags.intf value. This changeset adds the checkInterruptsRaw() method
to the x86 interrupt control. It returns true if there are pending
interrupts that can be delivered as soon as the CPU is ready for
interrupt delivery.
Recent changes added setting of system-wide cache line size and these settings
occur in the top-level configs (se.py and fs.py). This setting also needs to
take place in ruby_fs.py. This change sets the cache line size as appropriate.
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.
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
user. This had the effect of leaving some LSQUnits uninitialized when 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.
The previous changeset (9816) that fixes the use of max ticks introduced the
variable cpt_starttick, which is used for setting the relative max tick.
Unfortunately, with checkpointing at an instruction count or with simpoints,
the checkpoint tick is not stored conveniently, so to ensure that cpt_starttick
is initialized, set it to 0. Also, if using --rel-max-tick, check the use of
instruction counts or simpoints to warn the user that the max tick setting does
not include the checkpoint ticks.
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.
The routers are created before the network class. This results in the routers
becoming children of the first link they are connected to and they get generic
names like int_node and node_b. This patch creates the network object first
and passes it to the topology creation function. Now the routers are children
of the network object and names are much more sensible.
This patch adds the config ini string as a tooltip that can be
displayed in most browsers rendering the resulting svg. Certain
characters are modified for HTML output.
Tested on chrome and firefox.
This patch is adding a splash of colour to the dot output to make it
easier to distinguish objects of different types. As a bonus, the
pastel-colour palette also makes the output look like a something from
the 21st century.
This patch adds the class name to the label, creates some more space
by increasing the rank separation, and additionally outputs the graph
as an editable SVG in addition to the PDF.
This patch simply takes a first step to use the NULL ISA build for
tests that do not make use of a CPU. Most of the Ruby tests could go
the same way, but to avoid duplicating a lot of compilation targets
that will have to wait until Ruby is built as a library and linked in
independently.

This patch makes it possible to once again build gem5 without any
ISA. The main purpose is to enable work around the interconnect and
memory system without having to build any CPU models or device models.
The regress script is updated to include the NULL ISA target. Currently
no regressions make use of it, but all the testers could (and perhaps
should) transition to it.

The branch predictor is guarded by having either the in-order or
out-of-order CPU as one of the available CPU models and therefore
should not be used in the BaseCPU. This patch moves the parameter to
the relevant CPU classes.
This patch is a first step to getting NOISA working again. A number of
redundant includes make life more difficult than it has to be and this
patch simply removes them. There are also some redundant forward
declarations removed.
This patch moves the system virtual port proxy to the Alpha system
only to make the resurrection of the NOISA slightly less
painful. Alpha is the only ISA that is actually using it.
This patch changes the SConscript to build gem5 with libc++ on OSX as
the conventional libstdc++ does not have the C++11 constructs that the
current code base makes use of (e.g. std::forward).
Since this was the last use of the transitional TR1, the unordered map
and set header can now be simplified as well.
The number of transitions per cycle that a controller can carry out is
a proxy for the number of ports that a controller has. This value is
currently 32 which is way too high. The patch introduces an option
for the number of ports and uses this option in the protocol files
to set the number of transitions. The default value is being set to
4. None of the se regressions change. Ruby stats for the fs regression
change and are being updated.
This patch updates the stats to reflect the: 1) addition of the
internal queue in SimpleMemory, 2) moving of the memory class outside
FSConfig, 3) fixing up of the 2D vector printing format, 4) specifying
burst size and interface width for the DRAM instead of relying on
cache-line size, 5) performing merging in the DRAM controller write
buffer, and 6) fixing how idle cycles are counted in the atomic and
timing CPU models.
The main reason for bundling them up is to minimise the changeset
size.
Added a couple missing updates to the notIdleFraction stat. Without
these, it sometimes gives a (not) idle fraction that is greater than 1
or less than 0.
This patch adds support for specifying multi-channel memory
configurations on the command line, e.g. 'se/fs.py
--mem-type=ddr3_1600_x64 --mem-channels=4'. To enable this, it
enhances the functionality of MemConfig and moves the existing
makeMultiChannel class method from SimpleDRAM to the support scripts.
The se/fs.py example scripts are updated to make use of the new
feature.
This patch changes the default parameter value of conf_table_reported
to match the common case. It also simplifies the regression and config
scripts to reflect this change.
This patch addresses an issue with trace playback in the TrafficGen
where the trace was reset but the header was not read from the trace
when a captured trace was played back for a second time. This resulted
in parsing errors as the expected message was not found in the trace
file.
The header check is moved to an init funtion which is called by the
constructor and when the trace is reset. This ensures that the trace
header is read each time when the trace is replayed.
This patch also addresses a small formatting issue in a panic.
This patch changes the data structure used for the DRAM read, write
and response queues from an STL list to deque. This optimisation is
based on the observation that the size is small (and fixed), and that
the structures are frequently iterated over in a linear fashion.
This patch implements basic write merging in the DRAM to avoid
redundant bursts. When a new access is added to the queue it is
compared against the existing entries, and if it is either
intersecting or immediately succeeding/preceeding an existing item it
is merged.
There is currently no attempt made at avoiding iterating over the
existing items in determining whether merging is possible or not.
This patch gets rid of bytesPerCacheLine parameter and makes the DRAM
configuration separate from cache line size. Instead of
bytesPerCacheLine, we define a parameter for the DRAM called
burst_length. The burst_length parameter shows the length of a DRAM
device burst in bits. Also, lines_per_rowbuffer is replaced with
device_rowbuffer_size to improve code portablity.
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
than a full burst are split into multiple dram packets.
This patch modifies the SimpleTimingCPU drain check to also consider
the fetch event. Previously, there was an assumption that there is
never a fetch event scheduled if the CPU is not executing
microcode. However, when a context is activated, a fetch even is
scheduled, and microPC() is zero.
