arch-arm: Implement ARMv8.1-HPD, Hierarchical permission disable

According to the armarm:
ARMv8.1-HPD introduces the facility to disable the hierarchical
attributes, APTable, PXNTable, and UXNTable, in the translation tables.
This disable has no effect on the NSTable bit. This feature is
mandatory in ARMv8.1 implementations.

This feature is added only to the VMSAv8-64 translation regimes. ARMv8.2
extends this to the AArch32 translation regimes, see ARMv8.2-AA32HPD.

The ID_AA64MMFR1_EL1.HPDS field identifies the support for ARMv8.1-HPD.

mem: Minimize the use of MemObject.

MemObject doesn't provide anything beyond its base ClockedObject any
more, so this change removes it from most inheritance hierarchies.
Occasionally MemObject is replaced with SimObject when I was fairly
confident that the extra functionality of ClockedObject wasn't needed.

misc: Using smart pointers for memory Requests

This patch is changing the underlying type for RequestPtr from Request*
to shared_ptr<Request>. Having memory requests being managed by smart
pointers will simplify the code; it will also prevent memory leakage and
dangling pointers.

arm: Refactor the TLB test interface

Refactor the TLB and page table walker test interface to use a dynamic
registration mechanism. Instead of patching a couple of empty methods
to wire up a TLB tester, this change allows such testers to register
themselves using the setTestInterface() method.


# 11169:44b5c183c3cd 12-Oct-2015 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com>

misc: Add explicit overrides and fix other clang >= 3.5 issues

This patch adds explicit overrides as this is now required when using
"-Wall" with clang >= 3.5, the latter now part of the most recent
XCode. The patch consequently removes "virtual" for those methods
where "override" is added. The latter should be enough of an
indication.

As part of this patch, a few minor issues that clang >= 3.5 complains
about are also resolved (unused methods and variables).


# 11168:f98eb2da15a4 12-Oct-2015 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com>

misc: Remove redundant compiler-specific defines

This patch moves away from using M5_ATTR_OVERRIDE and the m5::hashmap
(and similar) abstractions, as these are no longer needed with gcc 4.7
and clang 3.1 as minimum compiler versions.


# 10913:38dbdeea7f1f 07-Jul-2015 Andreas Sandberg <andreas.sandberg@arm.com>

sim: Refactor and simplify the drain API

The drain() call currently passes around a DrainManager pointer, which
is now completely pointless since there is only ever one global
DrainManager in the system. It also contains vestiges from the time
when SimObjects had to keep track of their child objects that needed
draining.

This changeset moves all of the DrainState handling to the Drainable
base class and changes the drain() and drainResume() calls to reflect
this. Particularly, the drain() call has been updated to take no
parameters (the DrainManager argument isn't needed) and return a
DrainState instead of an unsigned integer (there is no point returning
anything other than 0 or 1 any more). Drainable objects should return
either DrainState::Draining (equivalent to returning 1 in the old
system) if they need more time to drain or DrainState::Drained
(equivalent to returning 0 in the old system) if they are already in a
consistent state. Returning DrainState::Running is considered an
error.

Drain done signalling is now done through the signalDrainDone() method
in the Drainable class instead of using the DrainManager directly. The
new call checks if the state of the object is DrainState::Draining
before notifying the drain manager. This means that it is safe to call
signalDrainDone() without first checking if the simulator has
requested draining. The intention here is to reduce the code needed to
implement draining in simple objects.

# 10717:4f8c1bd6fdb8 02-Mar-2015 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com>

arm: Share a port for the two table walker objects

This patch changes how the MMU and table walkers are created such that
a single port is used to connect the MMU and the TLBs to the memory
system. Previously two ports were needed as there are two table walker
objects (stage one and stage two), and they both had a port. Now the
port itself is moved to the Stage2MMU, and each TableWalker is simply
using the port from the parent.

By using the same port we also remove the need for having an
additional crossbar joining the two ports before the walker cache or
the L2. This simplifies the creation of the CPU cache topology in
BaseCPU.py considerably. Moreover, for naming and symmetry reasons,
the TLB walker port is connected through the stage-one table walker
thus making the naming identical to x86. Along the same line, we use
the stage-one table walker to generate the master id that is used by
all TLB-related requests.


# 10621:b7bc5b1084a4 23-Dec-2014 Curtis Dunham <Curtis.Dunham@arm.com>

arm: Add stats to table walker

This patch adds table walker stats for:
- Walk events
- Instruction vs Data
- Page size histogram
- Wait time and service time histograms
- Pending requests histogram (per cycle) - measures dist. of L
(p(1..) = how often busy, p(0) = how often idle)
- Squashes, before starting and after completion

arm: Fixes based on UBSan and static analysis

Another churn to clean up undefined behaviour, mostly ARM, but some
parts also touching the generic part of the code base.

Most of the fixes are simply ensuring that proper intialisation. One
of the more subtle changes is the return type of the sign-extension,
which is changed to uint64_t. This is to avoid shifting negative
values (undefined behaviour) in the ISA code.


# 10474:799c8ee4ecba 16-Oct-2014 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com>

arch: Use shared_ptr for all Faults

This patch takes quite a large step in transitioning from the ad-hoc
RefCountingPtr to the c++11 shared_ptr by adopting its use for all
Faults. There are no changes in behaviour, and the code modifications
are mostly just replacing "new" with "make_shared".

in a later patch.

Note: Virtualization is only supported in AArch32 mode. This will also be fixed
in a later patch.

# 9342:6fec8f26e56d 02-Nov-2012 Andreas Sandberg <Andreas.Sandberg@arm.com>

sim: Move the draining interface into a separate base class

This patch moves the draining interface from SimObject to a separate
class that can be used by any object needing draining. However,
objects not visible to the Python code (i.e., objects not deriving
from SimObject) still depend on their parents informing them when to
drain. This patch also gets rid of the CountedDrainEvent (which isn't
really an event) and replaces it with a DrainManager.

Port: Add protocol-agnostic ports in the port hierarchy

This patch adds an additional level of ports in the inheritance
hierarchy, separating out the protocol-specific and protocl-agnostic
parts. All the functionality related to the binding of ports is now
confined to use BaseMaster/BaseSlavePorts, and all the
protocol-specific parts stay in the Master/SlavePort. In the future it
will be possible to add other protocol-specific implementations.

The functions used in the binding of ports, i.e. getMaster/SlavePort
now use the base classes, and the index parameter is updated to use
the PortID typedef with the symbolic InvalidPortID as the default.

Packet: Remove NACKs from packet and its use in endpoints

This patch removes the NACK frrom the packet as there is no longer any
module in the system that issues them (the bridge was the only one and
the previous patch removes that).

The handling of NACKs was mostly avoided throughout the code base, by
using e.g. panic or assert false, but in a few locations the NACKs
were actually dealt with (although NACKs never occured in any of the
regressions). Most notably, the DMA port will now never receive a NACK
and the backoff time is thus never changed. As a consequence, the
entire backoff mechanism (similar to a PCI bus) is now removed and the
DMA port entirely relies on the bus performing the arbitration and
issuing a retry when appropriate. This is more in line with e.g. PCIe.

Surprisingly, this patch has no impact on any of the regressions. As
mentioned in the patch that removes the NACK from the bridge, a
follow-up patch should change the request and response buffer size for
at least one regression to also verify that the system behaves as
expected when the bridge fills up.

O3,ARM: fix some problems with drain/switchout functionality and add Drain DPRINTFs

This patch fixes some problems with the drain/switchout functionality
for the O3 cpu and for the ARM ISA and adds some useful debug print
statements.

This is an incremental fix as there are still a few bugs/mem leaks with the
switchout code. Particularly when switching from an O3CPU to a
TimingSimpleCPU. However, when switching from O3 to O3 cores with the ARM ISA
I haven't encountered any more assertion failures; now the kernel will
typically panic inside of simulation.

DMA: Split the DMA device and IO device into seperate files

This patch moves the DMA device to its own set of files, splitting it
from the IO device. There are no behavioural changes associated with
this patch.

The patch also grabs the opportunity to do some very minor tidying up,
including some white space removal and pruning some redundant
parameters.

Besides the immediate benefits of the separation-of-concerns, this
patch also makes upcoming changes more streamlined as it split the
devices that are only slaves and the DMA device that also acts as a
master.


# 9015:7f4d25789dc4 23-May-2012 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com>

MEM: Add a snooping DMA port subclass for table walker

This patch makes the (device) DmaPort non-snooping and removes the
recvSnoop constructor parameter and instead introduces a
SnoopingDmaPort subclass for the ARM table walker.

Functionality is unchanged, as are the stats, and the patch merely
clarifies that the normal DMA ports are not snooping (although they
may issue requests that are snooped by others, as done with PCI, PCIe,
AMBA4 ACE etc).

Currently this port is declared in the ARM table walker as it is not
used anywhere else. If other ports were to have similar behaviour it
could be moved in a future patch.


# 8922:17f037ad8918 30-Mar-2012 William Wang <william.wang@arm.com>

MEM: Introduce the master/slave port sub-classes in C++

This patch introduces the notion of a master and slave port in the C++
code, thus bringing the previous classification from the Python
classes into the corresponding simulation objects and memory objects.

The patch enables us to classify behaviours into the two bins and add
assumptions and enfore compliance, also simplifying the two
interfaces. As a starting point, isSnooping is confined to a master
port, and getAddrRanges to slave ports. More of these specilisations
are to come in later patches.

The getPort function is not getMasterPort and getSlavePort, and
returns a port reference rather than a pointer as NULL would never be
a valid return value. The default implementation of these two
functions is placed in MemObject, and calls fatal.

The one drawback with this specific patch is that it requires some
code duplication, e.g. QueuedPort becomes QueuedMasterPort and
QueuedSlavePort, and BusPort becomes BusMasterPort and BusSlavePort
(avoiding multiple inheritance). With the later introduction of the
port interfaces, moving the functionality outside the port itself, a
lot of the duplicated code will disappear again.

gcc: Clean-up of non-C++0x compliant code, first steps

This patch cleans up a number of minor issues aiming to get closer to
compliance with the C++0x standard as interpreted by gcc and clang
(compile with std=c++0x and -pedantic-errors). In particular, the
patch cleans up enums where the last item was succeded by a comma,
namespaces closed by a curcly brace followed by a semi-colon, and the
use of the GNU-extension typeof (replaced by templated functions). It
does not address variable-length arrays, zero-size arrays, anonymous
structs, range expressions in switch statements, and the use of long
long. The generated CPU code also has a large number of issues that
remain to be fixed, mainly related to overflows in implicit constant
conversion (due to shifts).


# 8851:7e966326ef5b 24-Feb-2012 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com>

MEM: Move port creation to the memory object(s) construction

This patch moves all port creation from the getPort method to be
consistently done in the MemObject's constructor. This is possible
thanks to the Swig interface passing the length of the vector ports.
Previously there was a mix of: 1) creating the ports as members (at
object construction time) and using getPort for the name resolution,
or 2) dynamically creating the ports in the getPort call. This is now
uniform. Furthermore, objects that would not be complete without a
port have these ports as members rather than having pointers to
dynamically allocated ports.

This patch also enables an elaboration-time enumeration of all the
ports in the system which can be used to determine the masterId.

mem: Add a master ID to each request object.

This change adds a master id to each request object which can be

This is part of the way to removing the numCpus+1 stats in the cache and

that make way for the stats output to be changed to python.
