dev: Templatize PioPort.

When creating a base class which needs to be a SimObject, it's
necessary to decide ahead of time whether to use PioDevice or
BasicPioDevice in the hierarchy because they inherit from SimObject. If
they were added into the hierarchy later, then the original class would
inherit from SimObject, as would PioDevice. That would create a diamond
inheritance structure which would require virtual inheritance, and
that's a can of worms we'd rather not get into.

A big part of the PioPort mechanism is the PioPort itself which holds
a pointer to its parent device and delegates reads/writes to it. It
does that with a PioDevice pointer, and PioDevice declares virtual
functions for all the callbacks the port can call into.

Instead of that, this change templatizes PioPort based on the class of
the device that holds it. That will let you use a PioPort on *any*
class, as long as it has the methods PioPort depends on. That removes
the need to create an inheritance diamond to add a PioPort down the
line since PioDevice is no longer strictly required.

The PioDevice and BasicPioDevice classes are still around since they
still provide some additional functionality and there are existing
classes which depend on them.

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.

mem: Use the packet delays and do not just zero them out

This patch updates the I/O devices, bridge and simple memory to take
the packet header and payload delay into account in their latency
calculations. In all cases we add the header delay, i.e. the
accumulated pipeline delay of any crossbars, and the payload delay
needed for deserialisation of any payload.

Due to the additional unknown latency contribution, the packet queue
of the simple memory is changed to use insertion sorting based on the
time stamp. Moreover, since the memory hands out exclusive (non
shared) responses, we also need to ensure ordering for reads to the
same address.


# 10912:b99a6662d7c2 07-Jul-2015 Andreas Sandberg <andreas.sandberg@arm.com>

sim: Decouple draining from the SimObject hierarchy

Draining is currently done by traversing the SimObject graph and
calling drain()/drainResume() on the SimObjects. This is not ideal
when non-SimObjects (e.g., ports) need draining since this means that
SimObjects owning those objects need to be aware of this.

This changeset moves the responsibility for finding objects that need
draining from SimObjects and the Python-side of the simulator to the
DrainManager. The DrainManager now maintains a set of all objects that
need draining. To reduce the overhead in classes owning non-SimObjects
that need draining, objects inheriting from Drainable now
automatically register with the DrainManager. If such an object is
destroyed, it is automatically unregistered. This means that drain()
and drainResume() should never be called directly on a Drainable
object.

While implementing the new functionality, the DrainManager has now
been made thread safe. In practice, this means that it takes a lock
whenever it manipulates the set of Drainable objects since SimObjects
in different threads may create Drainable objects
dynamically. Similarly, the drain counter is now an atomic_uint, which
ensures that it is manipulated correctly when objects signal that they
are done draining.

A nice side effect of these changes is that it makes the drain state
changes stricter, which the simulation scripts can exploit to avoid
redundant drains.


# 10910:32f3d1c454ec 07-Jul-2015 Andreas Sandberg <andreas.sandberg@arm.com>

sim: Make the drain state a global typed enum

The drain state enum is currently a part of the Drainable
interface. The same state machine will be used by the DrainManager to
identify the global state of the simulator. Make the drain state a
global typed enum to better cater for this usage scenario.

mem: Clarification of packet crossbar timings

This patch clarifies the packet timings annotated
when going through a crossbar.

The old 'firstWordDelay' is replaced by 'headerDelay' that represents
the delay associated to the delivery of the header of the packet.

The old 'lastWordDelay' is replaced by 'payloadDelay' that represents
the delay needed to processing the payload of the packet.

For now the uses and values remain identical. However, going forward
the payloadDelay will be additive, and not include the
headerDelay. Follow-on patches will make the headerDelay capture the
pipeline latency incurred in the crossbar, whereas the payloadDelay
will capture the additional serialisation delay.


# 10603:6099331da328 08-Dec-2014 Andreas Sandberg <Andreas.Sandberg@ARM.com>

dev: Add response sanity checks in PioPort

Add an assert in the PioPort that checks if a response packet from a
device has the right flags set before passing it to them rest of the
memory system.


# 10405:7a618c07e663 20-Sep-2014 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com>

mem: Rename Bus to XBar to better reflect its behaviour

This patch changes the name of the Bus classes to XBar to better
reflect the actual timing behaviour. The actual instances in the
config scripts are not renamed, and remain as e.g. iobus or membus.

As part of this renaming, the code has also been clean up slightly,
making use of range-based for loops and tidying up some comments. The
only changes outside the bus/crossbar code is due to the delay
variables in the packet.

# 9549:95a536fae9ac 19-Feb-2013 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com>

mem: Enforce strict use of busFirst- and busLastWordTime

This patch adds a check to ensure that the delay incurred by
the bus is not simply disregarded, but accounted for by someone. At
this point, all the modules do is to zero it out, and no additional
time is spent. This highlights where the bus timing is simply dropped
instead of being paid for.

As a follow up, the locations identified in this patch should add this
additional time to the packets in one way or another. For now it
simply acts as a sanity check and highlights where the delay is simply
ignored.

Since no time is added, all regressions remain the same.


# 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.


# 9294:8fb03b13de02 15-Oct-2012 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com>

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.


# 9095:0e6bd7082fac 09-Jul-2012 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com>

Port: Align port names in C++ and Python

This patch is a first step to align the port names used in the Python
world and the C++ world. Ultimately it serves to make the use of
config.json together with output from the simulation easier, including
post-processing of statistics.

Most notably, the CPU, cache, and bus is addressed in this patch, and
there might be other ports that should be updated accordingly. The
dash name separator has also been replaced with a "." which is what is
used to concatenate the names in python, and a separation is made
between the master and slave port in the bus.


# 9090:e4e22240398f 09-Jul-2012 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com>

Port: Make getAddrRanges const

This patch makes getAddrRanges const throughout the code base. There
is no reason why it should not be, and making it const prevents adding
any unintentional side-effects.

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.


# 8975:7f36d4436074 01-May-2012 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com>

MEM: Separate requests and responses for timing accesses

This patch moves send/recvTiming and send/recvTimingSnoop from the
Port base class to the MasterPort and SlavePort, and also splits them
into separate member functions for requests and responses:
send/recvTimingReq, send/recvTimingResp, and send/recvTimingSnoopReq,
send/recvTimingSnoopResp. A master port sends requests and receives
responses, and also receives snoop requests and sends snoop
responses. A slave port has the reciprocal behaviour as it receives
requests and sends responses, and sends snoop requests and receives
snoop responses.

For all MemObjects that have only master ports or slave ports (but not
both), e.g. a CPU, or a PIO device, this patch merely adds more
clarity to what kind of access is taking place. For example, a CPU
port used to call sendTiming, and will now call
sendTimingReq. Similarly, a response previously came back through
recvTiming, which is now recvTimingResp. For the modules that have
both master and slave ports, e.g. the bus, the behaviour was
previously relying on branches based on pkt->isRequest(), and this is
now replaced with a direct call to the apprioriate member function
depending on the type of access. Please note that send/recvRetry is
still shared by all the timing accessors and remains in the Port base
class for now (to maintain the current bus functionality and avoid
changing the statistics of all regressions).

The packet queue is split into a MasterPort and SlavePort version to
facilitate the use of the new timing accessors. All uses of the
PacketQueue are updated accordingly.

With this patch, the type of packet (request or response) is now well
defined for each type of access, and asserts on pkt->isRequest() and
pkt->isResponse() are now moved to the appropriate send member
functions. It is also worth noting that sendTimingSnoopReq no longer
returns a boolean, as the semantics do not alow snoop requests to be
rejected or stalled. All these assumptions are now excplicitly part of
the port interface itself.


# 8949:3fa1ee293096 14-Apr-2012 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com>

MEM: Remove the Broadcast destination from the packet

This patch simplifies the packet by removing the broadcast flag and
instead more firmly relying on (and enforcing) the semantics of
transactions in the classic memory system, i.e. request packets are
routed from a master to a slave based on the address, and when they
are created they have neither a valid source, nor destination. On
their way to the slave, the request packet is updated with a source
field for all modules that multiplex packets from multiple master
(e.g. a bus). When a request packet is turned into a response packet
(at the final slave), it moves the potentially populated source field
to the destination field, and the response packet is routed through
any multiplexing components back to the master based on the
destination field.

Modules that connect multiplexing components, such as caches and
bridges store any existing source and destination field in the sender
state as a stack (just as before).

The packet constructor is simplified in that there is no longer a need
to pass the Packet::Broadcast as the destination (this was always the
case for the classic memory system). In the case of Ruby, rather than
using the parameter to the constructor we now rely on setDest, as
there is already another three-argument constructor in the packet
class.

In many places where the packet information was printed as part of
DPRINTFs, request packets would be printed with a numeric "dest" that
would always be -1 (Broadcast) and that field is now removed from the
printing.


# 8948:e95ee70f876c 14-Apr-2012 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com>

MEM: Separate snoops and normal memory requests/responses

This patch introduces port access methods that separates snoop
request/responses from normal memory request/responses. The
differentiation is made for functional, atomic and timing accesses and
builds on the introduction of master and slave ports.

Before the introduction of this patch, the packets belonging to the
different phases of the protocol (request -> [forwarded snoop request
-> snoop response]* -> response) all use the same port access
functions, even though the snoop packets flow in the opposite
direction to the normal packet. That is, a coherent master sends
normal request and receives responses, but receives snoop requests and
sends snoop responses (vice versa for the slave). These two distinct
phases now use different access functions, as described below.

Starting with the functional access, a master sends a request to a
slave through sendFunctional, and the request packet is turned into a
response before the call returns. In a system without cache coherence,
this is all that is needed from the functional interface. For the
cache-coherent scenario, a slave also sends snoop requests to coherent
masters through sendFunctionalSnoop, with responses returned within
the same packet pointer. This is currently used by the bus and caches,
and the LSQ of the O3 CPU. The send/recvFunctional and
send/recvFunctionalSnoop are moved from the Port super class to the
appropriate subclass.

Atomic accesses follow the same flow as functional accesses, with
request being sent from master to slave through sendAtomic. In the
case of cache-coherent ports, a slave can send snoop requests to a
master through sendAtomicSnoop. Just as for the functional access
methods, the atomic send and receive member functions are moved to the
appropriate subclasses.

The timing access methods are different from the functional and atomic
in that requests and responses are separated in time and
send/recvTiming are used for both directions. Hence, a master uses
sendTiming to send a request to a slave, and a slave uses sendTiming
to send a response back to a master, at a later point in time. Snoop
requests and responses travel in the opposite direction, similar to
what happens in functional and atomic accesses. With the introduction
of this patch, it is possible to determine the direction of packets in
the bus, and no longer necessary to look for both a master and a slave
port with the requested port id.

In contrast to the normal recvFunctional, recvAtomic and recvTiming
that are pure virtual functions, the recvFunctionalSnoop,
recvAtomicSnoop and recvTimingSnoop have a default implementation that
calls panic. This is to allow non-coherent master and slave ports to
not implement these functions.


# 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.


# 8914:8c3bd7bea667 22-Mar-2012 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com>

MEM: Split SimpleTimingPort into PacketQueue and ports

This patch decouples the queueing and the port interactions to
simplify the introduction of the master and slave ports. By separating
the queueing functionality from the port itself, it becomes much
easier to distinguish between master and slave ports, and still retain
the queueing ability for both (without code duplication).

As part of the split into a PacketQueue and a port, there is now also
a hierarchy of two port classes, QueuedPort and SimpleTimingPort. The
QueuedPort is useful for ports that want to leave the packet
transmission of outgoing packets to the queue and is used by both
master and slave ports. The SimpleTimingPort inherits from the
QueuedPort and adds the implemention of recvTiming and recvFunctional
through recvAtomic.

The PioPort and MessagePort are cleaned up as part of the changes.


# 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.


# 8832:247fee427324 12-Feb-2012 Ali Saidi <Ali.Saidi@ARM.com>

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
replacing them with the master ids. This is one of a series of changes
that make way for the stats output to be changed to python.

MEM: Separate queries for snooping and address ranges

This patch simplifies the address-range determination mechanism and
also unifies the naming across ports and devices. It further splits
the queries for determining if a port is snooping and what address
ranges it responds to (aiming towards a separation of
cache-maintenance ports and pure memory-mapped ports). Default
behaviours are such that most ports do not have to define isSnooping,
and master ports need not implement getAddrRanges.

Mem: Fix issue with dirty block being lost when entire block transferred to non-cache.

This change fixes the problem for all the cases we actively use. If you want to try
more creative I/O device attachments (E.g. sharing an L2), this won't work. You
would need another level of caching between the I/O device and the cache
(which you actually need anyway with our current code to make sure writes
propagate). This is required so that you can mark the cache in between as
top level and it won't try to send ownership of a block to the I/O device.
Asserts have been added that should catch any issues.

make io device be a little nicer about scheduling retries on the bus


# 2657:b119b774656b 30-May-2006 Ali Saidi <saidi@eecs.umich.edu>

Add a very poor implementation of dealing with retries on timing requests. It is especially slow with tracing on since
it ends up being O(N^2). But it's probably going to have to change for the real bus anyway, so it should be rewritten then
Change recvRetry() to not accept a packet. Sendtiming should be called again (and can respond with false or true)
Removed Port Blocked/Unblocked and replaced with sendRetry().
Remove possibility of packet mangling if packet is going to be refused anyway in bridge

# 2641:6d9d837e2032 26-May-2006 Steve Reinhardt <stever@eecs.umich.edu>

Significant rework of Packet class interface:
- new constructor guarantees initialization of most fields
- flags track status of non-guaranteed fields (addr, size, src)
- accessor functions (getAddr() etc.) check status on access
- Command & Result classes are nested in Packet class scope
- Command now built from vector of behavior bits
- string version of Command for tracing
- reinitFromRequest() and makeTimingResponse() encapsulate
common manipulations of existing packets
