cpu: fixed how O3 CPU executes an exit system call
When a thread executed an exit syscall in SE mode, the thread context was removed immediately in the same cycle, which left inflight squash operations and trap event incomplete. The problem happened when a new thread was assigned to the CPU later. The new thread started with some incomplete transactions of the previous thread (e.g., squashing). This problem could cause incorrect execution flow for the new thread (i.e., pc was not reset properly at the exit point), deadlock (i.e., some stage-to-stage signals were not reset) and incorrect rename map between logical and physical registers.
This patch adds a new state called 'Halting' to the thread context and defers removing thread context from a CPU until a trap event initiated by an exit syscall execution is processed. This patch also makes sure that the removal of a thread context happens after all inflight transactions of the to-be-removed thread in the pipeline complete.

cpu: Fix the usage of const DynInstPtr
Summary: Usage of const DynInstPtr& when possible and introduction of move operators to RefCountingPtr.
In many places, scoped references to dynamic instructions do a copy of the DynInstPtr when a reference would do. This is detrimental to performance. On top of that, in case there is a need for reference tracking for debugging, the redundant copies make the process much more painful than it already is.
Also, from the theoretical point of view, a function/method that defines a convenience name to access an instruction should not be considered an owner of the data, i.e., doing a copy and not a reference is not justified.
On a related topic, C++11 introduces move semantics, and those are useful when, for example, there is a class modelling a HW structure that contains a list, and has a getHeadOfList function, to prevent doing a copy to an internal variable -> update pointer, remove from the list -> update pointer, return value making a copy to the assined variable -> update pointer, destroy the returned value -> update pointer.

This patch adds probe points in Fetch, IEW, Rename and Commit stages as follows.
A probe point is added in the Fetch stage for probing when a fetch request is sent. Notify is fired on the probe point when a request is sent succesfully in the first attempt as well as on a retry attempt.
Probe points are added in the IEW stage when an instruction begins to execute and when execution is complete. This points can be used for monitoring the execution time of an instruction.
Probe points are added in the Rename stage to probe renaming of source and destination registers and when there is squashing. These probe points can be used to track register dependencies and remove when there is squashing.
A probe point for squashing is added in Commit to probe squashed instructions.

mem: Split port retry for all different packet classes
This patch fixes a long-standing isue with the port flow control. Before this patch the retry mechanism was shared between all different packet classes. As a result, a snoop response could get stuck behind a request waiting for a retry, even if the send/recv functions were split. This caused message-dependent deadlocks in stress-test scenarios.
The patch splits the retry into one per packet (message) class. Thus, sendTimingReq has a corresponding recvReqRetry, sendTimingResp has recvRespRetry etc. Most of the changes to the code involve simply clarifying what type of request a specific object was accepting.
The biggest change in functionality is in the cache downstream packet queue, facing the memory. This queue was shared by requests and snoop responses, and it is now split into two queues, each with their own flow control, but the same physical MasterPort. These changes fixes the previously seen deadlocks.

cpu: Fix SMT scheduling issue with the O3 cpu
The o3 cpu could attempt to schedule inactive threads under round-robin SMT mode.
This is because it maintained an independent priority list of threads from the active thread list. This priority list could be come stale once threads were inactive, leading to the cpu trying to fetch/commit from inactive threads.
Additionally the fetch queue is now forcibly flushed of instrctuctions from the de-scheduled thread.
Relevant output:

The o3 pipeline interlock/stall logic is incorrect. o3 unnecessicarily stalled fetch and decode due to later stages in the pipeline. In general, a stage should usually only consider if it is stalled by the adjacent, downstream stage. Forcing stalls due to later stages creates and results in bubbles in the pipeline. Additionally, o3 stalled the entire frontend (fetch, decode, rename) on a branch mispredict while the ROB is being serially walked to update the RAT (robSquashing). Only should have stalled at rename.

base: add support for probe points and common probes
The probe patch is motivated by the desire to move analytical and trace code away from functional code. This is achieved by the probe interface which is essentially a glorified observer model.
What this means to users: * add a probe point and a "notify" call at the source of an "event" * add an isolated module, that is being used to carry out *your* analysis (e.g. generate a trace) * register that module as a probe listener Note: an example is given for reference in src/cpu/o3/simple_trace.[hh|cc] and src/cpu/SimpleTrace.py
What is happening under the hood: * every SimObject maintains has a ProbeManager. * during initialization (src/python/m5/simulate.py) first regProbePoints and the regProbeListeners is called on each SimObject. this hooks up the probe point notify calls with the listeners.
FAQs: Why did you develop probe points: * to remove trace, stats gathering, analytical code out of the functional code. * the belief that probes could be generically useful.
What is a probe point: * a probe point is used to notify upon a given event (e.g. cpu commits an instruction)
What is a probe listener: * a class that handles whatever the user wishes to do when they are notified about an event.
What can be passed on notify: * probe points are templates, and so the user can generate probes that pass any type of argument (by const reference) to a listener.
What relationships can be generated (1:1, 1:N, N:M etc): * there isn't a restriction. You can hook probe points and listeners up in a 1:1, 1:N, N:M relationship. They become useful when a number of modules listen to the same probe points. The idea being that you can add a small number of probes into the source code and develop a larger number of useful analysis modules that use information passed by the probes.
Can you give examples: * adding a probe point to the cpu's commit method allows you to build a trace module (outputting assembler), you could re-use this to gather instruction distribution (arithmetic, load/store, conditional, control flow) stats.
Why is the probe interface currently restricted to passing a const reference: * the desire, initially at least, is to allow an interface to observe functionality, but not to change functionality. * of course this can be subverted by const-casting.
What is the performance impact of adding probes: * when nothing is actively listening to the probes they should have a relatively minor impact. Profiling has suggested even with a large number of probes (60) the impact of them (when not active) is very minimal (<1%).

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.

cpu: Rewrite O3 draining to avoid stopping in microcode
Previously, the O3 CPU could stop in the middle of a microcode sequence. This patch makes sure that the pipeline stops when it has committed a normal instruction or exited from a microcode sequence. Additionally, it makes sure that the pipeline has no instructions in flight when it is drained, which should make draining more robust.
Draining is controlled in the commit stage, which checks if the next PC after a committed instruction is in microcode. If this isn't the case, it requests a squash of all instructions after that the instruction that just committed and immediately signals a drain stall to the fetch stage. The CPU then continues to execute until the pipeline and all associated buffers are empty.

cpu: Initialize the O3 pipeline from startup()
The entire O3 pipeline used to be initialized from init(), which is called before initState() or unserialize(). This causes the pipeline to be initialized from an incorrect thread context. This doesn't currently lead to correctness problems as instructions fetched from the incorrect start PC will be squashed a few cycles after initialization.
This patch will affect the regressions since the O3 CPU now issues its first instruction fetch to the correct PC instead of 0x0.

clang: Enable compiling gem5 using clang 2.9 and 3.0
This patch adds the necessary flags to the SConstruct and SConscript files for compiling using clang 2.9 and later (on Ubuntu et al and OSX XCode 4.2), and also cleans up a bunch of compiler warnings found by clang. Most of the warnings are related to hidden virtual functions, comparisons with unsigneds >= 0, and if-statements with empty bodies. A number of mismatches between struct and class are also fixed. clang 2.8 is not working as it has problems with class names that occur in multiple namespaces (e.g. Statistics in kernel_stats.hh).
clang has a bug (http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=7247) which causes confusion between the container std::set and the function Packet::set, and this is currently addressed by not including the entire namespace std, but rather selecting e.g. "using std::vector" in the appropriate places.

Decode: Pull instruction decoding out of the StaticInst class into its own.
This change pulls the instruction decoding machinery (including caches) out of the StaticInst class and puts it into its own class. This has a few intrinsic benefits. First, the StaticInst code, which has gotten to be quite large, gets simpler. Second, the code that handles decode caching is now separated out into its own component and can be looked at in isolation, making it easier to understand. I took the opportunity to restructure the code a bit which will hopefully also help.
Beyond that, this change also lays some ground work for each ISA to have its own, potentially stateful decode object. We'd be able to include less contextualizing information in the ExtMachInst objects since that context would be applied at the decoder. Also, the decoder could "know" ahead of time that all the instructions it's going to see are going to be, for instance, 64 bit mode, and it will have one less thing to check when it decodes them. Because the decode caching mechanism has been separated out, it's now possible to have multiple caches which correspond to different types of decoding context. Having one cache for each element of the cross product of different configurations may become prohibitive, so it may be desirable to clear out the cache when relatively static state changes and not to have one for each setting.
Because the decode function is no longer universally accessible as a static member of the StaticInst class, a new function was added to the ThreadContexts that returns the applicable decode object.

O3: Fix issue with interrupts/faults occuring in the middle of a macro-op
This patch fixes two problems with the O3 cpu model. The first is an issue with an instruction fetch causing a fault on the next address while the current macro-op is being issued. This happens when the micro-ops exceed the fetch bandwdith and then on the next cycle the fetch stage attempts to issue a request to the next line while it still has micro-ops to issue if the next line faults a fault is attached to a micro-op in the currently executing macro-op rather than a "nop" from the next instruction block. This leads to an instruction incorrectly faulting when on fetch when it had no reason to fault.
A similar problem occurs with interrupts. When an interrupt occurs the fetch stage nominally stops issuing instructions immediately. This is incorrect in the case of a macro-op as the current location might not be interruptable.

O3: Enhance data address translation by supporting hardware page table walkers.
Some ISAs (like ARM) relies on hardware page table walkers. For those ISAs, when a TLB miss occurs, initiateTranslation() can return with NoFault but with the translation unfinished.
Instructions experiencing a delayed translation due to a hardware page table walk are deferred until the translation completes and kept into the IQ. In order to keep track of them, the IQ has been augmented with a queue of the outstanding delayed memory instructions. When their translation completes, instructions are re-executed (only their initiateAccess() was already executed; their DTB translation is now skipped). The IEW stage has been modified to support such a 2-pass execution.

ISA,CPU,etc: Create an ISA defined PC type that abstracts out ISA behaviors.
This change is a low level and pervasive reorganization of how PCs are managed in M5. Back when Alpha was the only ISA, there were only 2 PCs to worry about, the PC and the NPC, and the lsb of the PC signaled whether or not you were in PAL mode. As other ISAs were added, we had to add an NNPC, micro PC and next micropc, x86 and ARM introduced variable length instruction sets, and ARM started to keep track of mode bits in the PC. Each CPU model handled PCs in its own custom way that needed to be updated individually to handle the new dimensions of variability, or, in the case of ARMs mode-bit-in-the-pc hack, the complexity could be hidden in the ISA at the ISA implementation's expense. Areas like the branch predictor hadn't been updated to handle branch delay slots or micropcs, and it turns out that had introduced a significant (10s of percent) performance bug in SPARC and to a lesser extend MIPS. Rather than perpetuate the problem by reworking O3 again to handle the PC features needed by x86, this change was introduced to rework PC handling in a more modular, transparent, and hopefully efficient way.
PC type:
Rather than having the superset of all possible elements of PC state declared in each of the CPU models, each ISA defines its own PCState type which has exactly the elements it needs. A cross product of canned PCState classes are defined in the new "generic" ISA directory for ISAs with/without delay slots and microcode. These are either typedef-ed or subclassed by each ISA. To read or write this structure through a *Context, you use the new pcState() accessor which reads or writes depending on whether it has an argument. If you just want the address of the current or next instruction or the current micro PC, you can get those through read-only accessors on either the PCState type or the *Contexts. These are instAddr(), nextInstAddr(), and microPC(). Note the move away from readPC. That name is ambiguous since it's not clear whether or not it should be the actual address to fetch from, or if it should have extra bits in it like the PAL mode bit. Each class is free to define its own functions to get at whatever values it needs however it needs to to be used in ISA specific code. Eventually Alpha's PAL mode bit could be moved out of the PC and into a separate field like ARM.
These types can be reset to a particular pc (where npc = pc + sizeof(MachInst), nnpc = npc + sizeof(MachInst), upc = 0, nupc = 1 as appropriate), printed, serialized, and compared. There is a branching() function which encapsulates code in the CPU models that checked if an instruction branched or not. Exactly what that means in the context of branch delay slots which can skip an instruction when not taken is ambiguous, and ideally this function and its uses can be eliminated. PCStates also generally know how to advance themselves in various ways depending on if they point at an instruction, a microop, or the last microop of a macroop. More on that later.
Ideally, accessing all the PCs at once when setting them will improve performance of M5 even though more data needs to be moved around. This is because often all the PCs need to be manipulated together, and by getting them all at once you avoid multiple function calls. Also, the PCs of a particular thread will have spatial locality in the cache. Previously they were grouped by element in arrays which spread out accesses.
Advancing the PC:
The PCs were previously managed entirely by the CPU which had to know about PC semantics, try to figure out which dimension to increment the PC in, what to set NPC/NNPC, etc. These decisions are best left to the ISA in conjunction with the PC type itself. Because most of the information about how to increment the PC (mainly what type of instruction it refers to) is contained in the instruction object, a new advancePC virtual function was added to the StaticInst class. Subclasses provide an implementation that moves around the right element of the PC with a minimal amount of decision making. In ISAs like Alpha, the instructions always simply assign NPC to PC without having to worry about micropcs, nnpcs, etc. The added cost of a virtual function call should be outweighed by not having to figure out as much about what to do with the PCs and mucking around with the extra elements.
One drawback of making the StaticInsts advance the PC is that you have to actually have one to advance the PC. This would, superficially, seem to require decoding an instruction before fetch could advance. This is, as far as I can tell, realistic. fetch would advance through memory addresses, not PCs, perhaps predicting new memory addresses using existing ones. More sophisticated decisions about control flow would be made later on, after the instruction was decoded, and handed back to fetch. If branching needs to happen, some amount of decoding needs to happen to see that it's a branch, what the target is, etc. This could get a little more complicated if that gets done by the predecoder, but I'm choosing to ignore that for now.
Variable length instructions:
To handle variable length instructions in x86 and ARM, the predecoder now takes in the current PC by reference to the getExtMachInst function. It can modify the PC however it needs to (by setting NPC to be the PC + instruction length, for instance). This could be improved since the CPU doesn't know if the PC was modified and always has to write it back.
ISA parser:
To support the new API, all PC related operand types were removed from the parser and replaced with a PCState type. There are two warts on this implementation. First, as with all the other operand types, the PCState still has to have a valid operand type even though it doesn't use it. Second, using syntax like PCS.npc(target) doesn't work for two reasons, this looks like the syntax for operand type overriding, and the parser can't figure out if you're reading or writing. Instructions that use the PCS operand (which I've consistently called it) need to first read it into a local variable, manipulate it, and then write it back out.
Return address stack:
The return address stack needed a little extra help because, in the presence of branch delay slots, it has to merge together elements of the return PC and the call PC. To handle that, a buildRetPC utility function was added. There are basically only two versions in all the ISAs, but it didn't seem short enough to put into the generic ISA directory. Also, the branch predictor code in O3 and InOrder were adjusted so that they always store the PC of the actual call instruction in the RAS, not the next PC. If the call instruction is a microop, the next PC refers to the next microop in the same macroop which is probably not desirable. The buildRetPC function advances the PC intelligently to the next macroop (in an ISA specific way) so that that case works.
Change in stats:
There were no change in stats except in MIPS and SPARC in the O3 model. MIPS runs in about 9% fewer ticks. SPARC runs with 30%-50% fewer ticks, which could likely be improved further by setting call/return instruction flags and taking advantage of the RAS.
TODO:
Add != operators to the PCState classes, defined trivially to be !(a==b). Smooth out places where PCs are split apart, passed around, and put back together later. I think this might happen in SPARC's fault code. Add ISA specific constructors that allow setting PC elements without calling a bunch of accessors. Try to eliminate the need for the branching() function. Factor out Alpha's PAL mode pc bit into a separate flag field, and eliminate places where it's blindly masked out or tested in the PC.

Two updates that got combined into one ChangeSet accidentally. They're both pretty simple so they shouldn't cause any trouble.
First: Rename FullCPU and its variants in the o3 directory to O3CPU to differentiate from the old model, and also to specify it's an out of order model.
Second: Include build options for selecting the Checker to be used. These options make sure if the Checker is being used there is a CPU that supports it also being compiled.
SConstruct: Add in option USE_CHECKER to allow for not compiling in checker code. The checker is enabled through this option instead of through the CPU_MODELS list. However it's still necessary to treat the Checker like a CPU model, so it is appended onto the CPU_MODELS list if enabled. configs/test/test.py: Name change for DetailedCPU to DetailedO3CPU. Also include option for max tick. src/base/traceflags.py: Add in O3CPU trace flag. src/cpu/SConscript: Rename AlphaFullCPU to AlphaO3CPU.
Only include checker sources if they're necessary. Also add a list of CPUs that support the Checker, and only allow the Checker to be compiled in if one of those CPUs are also being included. src/cpu/base_dyn_inst.cc: src/cpu/base_dyn_inst.hh: Rename typedef to ImplCPU instead of FullCPU, to differentiate from the old FullCPU. src/cpu/cpu_models.py: src/cpu/o3/alpha_cpu.cc: src/cpu/o3/alpha_cpu.hh: src/cpu/o3/alpha_cpu_builder.cc: src/cpu/o3/alpha_cpu_impl.hh: Rename AlphaFullCPU to AlphaO3CPU to differentiate from old FullCPU model. src/cpu/o3/alpha_dyn_inst.hh: src/cpu/o3/alpha_dyn_inst_impl.hh: src/cpu/o3/alpha_impl.hh: src/cpu/o3/alpha_params.hh: src/cpu/o3/commit.hh: src/cpu/o3/cpu.hh: src/cpu/o3/decode.hh: src/cpu/o3/decode_impl.hh: src/cpu/o3/fetch.hh: src/cpu/o3/iew.hh: src/cpu/o3/iew_impl.hh: src/cpu/o3/inst_queue.hh: src/cpu/o3/lsq.hh: src/cpu/o3/lsq_impl.hh: src/cpu/o3/lsq_unit.hh: src/cpu/o3/regfile.hh: src/cpu/o3/rename.hh: src/cpu/o3/rename_impl.hh: src/cpu/o3/rob.hh: src/cpu/o3/rob_impl.hh: src/cpu/o3/thread_state.hh: src/python/m5/objects/AlphaO3CPU.py: Rename FullCPU to O3CPU to differentiate from old FullCPU model. src/cpu/o3/commit_impl.hh: src/cpu/o3/cpu.cc: src/cpu/o3/fetch_impl.hh: src/cpu/o3/lsq_unit_impl.hh: Rename FullCPU to O3CPU to differentiate from old FullCPU model.

Fixes to get new CPU model working for simple test case. The CPU does not yet support retrying accesses.
src/cpu/base_dyn_inst.cc: Delete the allocated data in destructor. src/cpu/base_dyn_inst.hh: Only copy the addresses if the translation succeeded. src/cpu/o3/alpha_cpu.hh: Return actual translating port. Don't panic on setNextNPC() as it's always called, regardless of the architecture, when the process initializes. src/cpu/o3/alpha_cpu_impl.hh: Pass in memobject to the thread state in SE mode. src/cpu/o3/commit_impl.hh: Initialize all variables. src/cpu/o3/decode_impl.hh: Handle early resolution of branches properly. src/cpu/o3/fetch.hh: Switch structure back to requests. src/cpu/o3/fetch_impl.hh: Initialize all variables, create/delete requests properly. src/cpu/o3/lsq_unit.hh: Include sender state along with the packet. Also include a more generic writeback event that's only used for stores forwarding data to loads. src/cpu/o3/lsq_unit_impl.hh: Redo writeback code to support the response path of the memory system. src/cpu/o3/mem_dep_unit.cc: src/cpu/o3/mem_dep_unit_impl.hh: Wrap variables in #ifdefs. src/cpu/o3/store_set.cc: Include to get panic() function. src/cpu/o3/thread_state.hh: Create with MemObject as well. src/cpu/thread_state.hh: Have a translating port in the thread state object. src/python/m5/objects/AlphaFullCPU.py: Mem parameter no longer needed.

Fixes to get compiling to work. This is mainly fixing up some includes; changing functions within the XCs; changing MemReqPtrs to Requests or Packets where appropriate.
Currently the O3 and Ozone CPUs do not work in the new memory system; I still need to fix up the ports to work and handle responses properly. This check-in is so that the merge between m5 and newmem is no longer outstanding.
src/SConscript: Need to include FU Pool for new CPU model. I'll try to figure out a cleaner way to handle this in the future. src/base/traceflags.py: Include new traces flags, fix up merge mess up. src/cpu/SConscript: Include the base_dyn_inst.cc as one of othe sources. Don't compile the Ozone CPU for now. src/cpu/base.cc: Remove an extra } from the merge. src/cpu/base_dyn_inst.cc: Fixes to make compiling work. Don't instantiate the OzoneCPU for now. src/cpu/base_dyn_inst.hh: src/cpu/o3/2bit_local_pred.cc: src/cpu/o3/alpha_cpu_builder.cc: src/cpu/o3/alpha_cpu_impl.hh: src/cpu/o3/alpha_dyn_inst.hh: src/cpu/o3/alpha_params.hh: src/cpu/o3/bpred_unit.cc: src/cpu/o3/btb.hh: src/cpu/o3/commit.hh: src/cpu/o3/commit_impl.hh: src/cpu/o3/cpu.cc: src/cpu/o3/cpu.hh: src/cpu/o3/fetch.hh: src/cpu/o3/fetch_impl.hh: src/cpu/o3/free_list.hh: src/cpu/o3/iew.hh: src/cpu/o3/iew_impl.hh: src/cpu/o3/inst_queue.hh: src/cpu/o3/inst_queue_impl.hh: src/cpu/o3/regfile.hh: src/cpu/o3/sat_counter.hh: src/cpu/op_class.hh: src/cpu/ozone/cpu.hh: src/cpu/checker/cpu.cc: src/cpu/checker/cpu.hh: src/cpu/checker/exec_context.hh: src/cpu/checker/o3_cpu_builder.cc: src/cpu/ozone/cpu_impl.hh: src/mem/request.hh: src/cpu/o3/fu_pool.hh: src/cpu/o3/lsq.hh: src/cpu/o3/lsq_unit.hh: src/cpu/o3/lsq_unit_impl.hh: src/cpu/o3/thread_state.hh: src/cpu/ozone/back_end.hh: src/cpu/ozone/dyn_inst.cc: src/cpu/ozone/dyn_inst.hh: src/cpu/ozone/front_end.hh: src/cpu/ozone/inorder_back_end.hh: src/cpu/ozone/lw_back_end.hh: src/cpu/ozone/lw_lsq.hh: src/cpu/ozone/ozone_impl.hh: src/cpu/ozone/thread_state.hh: Fixes to get compiling to work. src/cpu/o3/alpha_cpu.hh: Fixes to get compiling to work. Float reg accessors have changed, as well as MemReqPtrs to RequestPtrs. src/cpu/o3/alpha_dyn_inst_impl.hh: Fixes to get compiling to work. Pass in the packet to the completeAcc function. Fix up syscall function.

New directory structure: - simulator source now in 'src' subdirectory - imported files from 'ext' repository - support building in arbitrary places, including outside of the source tree. See comment at top of SConstruct file for more details. Regression tests are temporarily disabled; that syetem needs more extensive revisions.
SConstruct: Update for new directory structure. Modify to support build trees that are not subdirectories of the source tree. See comment at top of file for more details. Regression tests are temporarily disabled. src/arch/SConscript: src/arch/isa_parser.py: src/python/SConscript: Update for new directory structure.
