mem: Use address range to find the right physical address

Previously, we used the start address to determine the right physical
memory while servicing memory requests. This change uses the full
address range to correctly determine the right physical memory and
expose bugs where requests might not fully map to a single physical
memory.

base, mem: Disambiguate if an addr range is contained or overlaps

We need to determined whether an address range is fully contained or
it overlaps with an address range in the address range in the mmap. As
an example, we use address range maps to associate ports to address
ranges and we determine which port we will forward the request based
on which address range contains the addresses accessed by the
request. We also need to make sure that when we add a new port to the
address range map, its address range does not overlap with any of the
existing ports.

This patch splits the function find() into two functions contains()
and intersects() to implement this distinct functionality. It also
changes the xbar and the physical memory to use the right function.

invalid context IDs.

sim: Refactor the serialization base class

Objects that are can be serialized are supposed to inherit from the
Serializable class. This class is meant to provide a unified API for
such objects. However, so far it has mainly been used by SimObjects
due to some fundamental design limitations. This changeset redesigns
to the serialization interface to make it more generic and hide the
underlying checkpoint storage. Specifically:

* Add a set of APIs to serialize into a subsection of the current
object. Previously, objects that needed this functionality would
use ad-hoc solutions using nameOut() and section name
generation. In the new world, an object that implements the
interface has the methods serializeSection() and
unserializeSection() that serialize into a named /subsection/ of
the current object. Calling serialize() serializes an object into
the current section.

* Move the name() method from Serializable to SimObject as it is no
longer needed for serialization. The fully qualified section name
is generated by the main serialization code on the fly as objects
serialize sub-objects.

* Add a scoped ScopedCheckpointSection helper class. Some objects
need to serialize data structures, that are not deriving from
Serializable, into subsections. Previously, this was done using
nameOut() and manual section name generation. To simplify this,
this changeset introduces a ScopedCheckpointSection() helper
class. When this class is instantiated, it adds a new /subsection/
and subsequent serialization calls during the lifetime of this
helper class happen inside this section (or a subsection in case
of nested sections).

* The serialize() call is now const which prevents accidental state
manipulation during serialization. Objects that rely on modifying
state can use the serializeOld() call instead. The default
implementation simply calls serialize(). Note: The old-style calls
need to be explicitly called using the
serializeOld()/serializeSectionOld() style APIs. These are used by
default when serializing SimObjects.

* Both the input and output checkpoints now use their own named
types. This hides underlying checkpoint implementation from
objects that need checkpointing and makes it easier to change the
underlying checkpoint storage code.

mem: mmap the backing store with MAP_NORESERVE

This patch ensures we can run simulations with very large simulated
memories (at least 64 TB based on some quick runs on a Linux
workstation). In essence this allows us to efficiently deal with
sparse address maps without having to implement a redirection layer in
the backing store.

This opens up for run-time errors if we eventually exhausts the hosts
memory and swap space, but this should hopefully never happen.


# 10699:d0004c12d024 16-Feb-2015 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com>

mem: Use the range cache for lookup as well as access

This patch changes the range cache used in the global physical memory
to be an iterator so that we can use it not only as part of isMemAddr,
but also access and functionalAccess. This matches use-cases where a
core is using the atomic non-caching memory mode, and repeatedly calls
isMemAddr and access.

Linux boot on aarch32, with a single atomic CPU, is now more than 30%
faster when using "--fastmem" compared to not using the direct memory
access.

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.


# 10070:83957204d43b 18-Feb-2014 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com>

mem: Fix bug in PhysicalMemory use of mmap and munmap

This patch fixes a bug in how physical memory used to be mapped and
unmapped. Previously we unmapped and re-mapped if restoring from a
checkpoint. However, we never checked that the new mapping was
actually the same, it was just magically working as the OS seems to
fairly reliably give us the same chunk back. This patch fixes this
issue by relying entirely on the mmap call in the constructor.


# 9707:1305bec2733f 30-May-2013 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com>

mem: Avoid explicitly zeroing the memory backing store

This patch removes the explicit memset as it is redundant and causes
the simulator to touch the entire space, forcing the host system to
allocate the pages.

Anonymous pages are mapped on the first access, and the page-fault
handler is responsible for zeroing them. Thus, the pages are still
zeroed, but we avoid touching the entire allocated space which enables
us to use much larger memory sizes as long as not all the memory is
actually used.


# 9565:c2f393be5f14 01-Mar-2013 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com>

mem: Merge interleaved ranges when creating backing store

This patch adds merging of interleaved ranges before creating the
backing stores. The backing stores are always a contigous chunk of the
address space, and with this patch it is possible to have interleaved
memories in the system.


# 9413:0937a00d3f68 07-Jan-2013 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com>

mem: Merge ranges that are part of the conf table

This patch adds basic merging of address ranges when determining which
address ranges should be reported in the configuration table. By
performing this merging it is possible to distribute an address range
across many memory channels (controllers). This is essential to enable
address interleaving.


# 9411:22e15f9c3fda 07-Jan-2013 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com>

mem: Add interleaving bits to the address ranges

This patch adds support for interleaving bits for the address
ranges. What was previously just a start and end address, now has an
additional three fields, for the high bit, and number of bits to use
for interleaving, and a match value to compare against. If the number
of interleaving bits is set to zero it is effectively disabled.

A number of convenience functions are added to the range to enquire
about the interleaving, its granularity and the number of stripes it
is part of.


# 9409:e399b6c18b76 07-Jan-2013 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com>

base: Simplify the AddrRangeMap by removing unused code

This patch cleans up the AddrRangeMap in preparation for the addition
of interleaving by removing unused code. The non-const editions of
find are never used, and hence the duplication is not needed.


# 9405:c0a0593510db 07-Jan-2013 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com>

base: Encapsulate the underlying fields in AddrRange

This patch makes the start and end address private in a move to
prevent direct manipulation and matching of ranges based on these
fields. This is done so that a transition to ranges with interleaving
support is possible.

As a result of hiding the start and end, a number of member functions
are needed to perform the comparisons and manipulations that
previously took place directly on the members. An accessor function is
provided for the start address, and a function is added to test if an
address is within a range. As a result of the latter the != and ==
operator is also removed in favour of the member function. A member
function that returns a string representation is also created to allow
debug printing.

In general, this patch does not add any functionality, but it does
take us closer to a situation where interleaving (and more cleverness)
can be added under the bonnet without exposing it to the user. More on
that in a later patch.


# 9404:c194718a592c 07-Jan-2013 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com>

mem: Remove the joining of neighbouring ranges

This patch temporarily removes the joining of ranges when creating the
backing store, to reserve this functionality for the interleaved
ranges that are about to be introduced.

When creating the mmaps for the backing store, there is no point in
creating larger contigous chunks that what is necessary. The larger
chunks will only make life more difficult for the host.

Merging will be re-added later, but then only for interleaved ranges.


# 9386:b08ec9cf2e3f 07-Jan-2013 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com>

mem: Fix a bug in the memory serialization file naming

This patch fixes a bug that caused multiple systems to overwrite each
other physical memory. The system name is now included in the filename
such that this is avoided.


# 9356:b279bad40aa3 16-Nov-2012 Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu>

sim: have a curTick per eventq
This patch adds a _curTick variable to an eventq. This variable is updated
whenever an event is serviced in function serviceOne(), or all events upto
a particular time are processed in function serviceEvents(). This change
helps when there are eventqs that do not make use of curTick for scheduling
events.


# 9293:df7c3f99ebca 15-Oct-2012 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com>

Mem: Separate the host and guest views of memory backing store

This patch moves all the memory backing store operations from the
independent memory controllers to the global physical memory. The main
reason for this patch is to allow address striping in a future set of
patches, but at this point it already provides some useful
functionality in that it is now possible to change the number of
memory controllers and their address mapping in combination with
checkpointing. Thus, the host and guest view of the memory backing
store are now completely separate.

With this patch, the individual memory controllers are far simpler as
all responsibility for serializing/unserializing is moved to the
physical memory. Currently, the functionality is more or less moved
from AbstractMemory to PhysicalMemory without any major
changes. However, in a future patch the physical memory will also
resolve any ranges that are interleaved and properly assign the
backing store to the memory controllers, and keep the host memory as a
single contigous chunk per address range.

Functionality for future extensions which involve CPU virtualization
also enable the host to get pointers to the backing store.


# 9235:5aa4896ed55a 19-Sep-2012 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com>

AddrRange: Transition from Range<T> to AddrRange

This patch takes the final plunge and transitions from the templated
Range class to the more specific AddrRange. In doing so it changes the
obvious Range<Addr> to AddrRange, and also bumps the range_map to be
AddrRangeMap.

In addition to the obvious changes, including the removal of redundant
includes, this patch also does some house keeping in preparing for the
introduction of address interleaving support in the ranges. The Range
class is also stripped of all the functionality that is never used.


# 8931:7a1dfb191e3f 06-Apr-2012 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com>

MEM: Enable multiple distributed generalized memories

This patch removes the assumption on having on single instance of
PhysicalMemory, and enables a distributed memory where the individual
memories in the system are each responsible for a single contiguous
address range.

All memories inherit from an AbstractMemory that encompasses the basic
behaviuor of a random access memory, and provides untimed access
methods. What was previously called PhysicalMemory is now
SimpleMemory, and a subclass of AbstractMemory. All future types of
memory controllers should inherit from AbstractMemory.

To enable e.g. the atomic CPU and RubyPort to access the now
distributed memory, the system has a wrapper class, called
PhysicalMemory that is aware of all the memories in the system and
their associated address ranges. This class thus acts as an
infinitely-fast bus and performs address decoding for these "shortcut"
accesses. Each memory can specify that it should not be part of the
global address map (used e.g. by the functional memories by some
testers). Moreover, each memory can be configured to be reported to
the OS configuration table, useful for populating ATAG structures, and
any potential ACPI tables.

Checkpointing support currently assumes that all memories have the
same size and organisation when creating and resuming from the
checkpoint. A future patch will enable a more flexible
re-organisation.


# 8923:820111f58fbb 30-Mar-2012 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com>

Ruby: Remove the physMemPort and instead access memory directly

This patch removes the physMemPort from the RubySequencer and instead
uses the system pointer to access the physmem. The system already
keeps track of the physmem and the valid memory address ranges, and
with this patch we merely make use of that existing functionality. The
memory is modified so that it is possible to call the access functions
(atomic and functional) without going through the port, and the memory
is allowed to be unconnected, i.e. have no ports (since Ruby does not
attach it like the conventional memory system).


# 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.

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.

util: do checkpoint aggregation more cleanly, fix last changeset.
1) Move alpha-specific code out of page_table.cc:serialize().
2) Begin serializing M5_pid and unserializing it, but adding an function to do optional paramIn so that old checkpoints don't need to be fixed up.
3) Fix up alpha startup code so that the unserialized M5_pid value is properly written to DTB_IPR_ASN.
4) Fix the memory unserialize that I forgot somehow in the last changeset.
5) Add in an agg_se.py to handle aggregated checkpoints. --bench foo-bar plus positional arguments foo bar are the only changes in usage from se.py.
Note this aggregation stuff has only been tested for Alpha and nothing else, though it should take a very minimal amount of work to get it to work with another ISA.

Restructure SimpleTimingPort a bit:
- factor out checkFunctional() code so it can be
called from derived classes
- use EventWrapper for sendEvent, move event handling
code from event to port where it belongs
- make sendEvent a pointer so derived classes can
override it
- replace std::pair with new class for readability

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
