H A D | cpt_upgrader.py | 11077:fae097742b7e Wed Sep 02 16:23:00 EDT 2015 Curtis Dunham <Curtis.Dunham@arm.com> sim: tag-based checkpoint versioning This commit addresses gem5 checkpoints' linear versioning bottleneck. Since development is distributed across many private trees, there exists a sort of 'race' for checkpoint version numbers: internally a checkpoint version may be used but then resynchronizing with the external tree causes a conflict on that version. This change replaces the linear version number with a set of unique strings called tags. Now the only conflicts that can arise are of tag names, where collisions are much easier to avoid. The checkpoint upgrader (util/cpt_upgrader.py) upgrades the version representation, as one would expect. Each tag version implements its upgrader code in a python file in the util/cpt_upgraders directory rather than adding a function to the upgrader script itself. The version tags are stored in the 'Globals' section rather than 'root' (as the version was previously) because 'Globals' gets unserialized first and can provide a warning before any other unserialization errors can occur. 10930:ddc3d96d6313 Fri Jul 24 03:25:00 EDT 2015 Brandon Potter <brandon.potter@amd.com> base: refactor process class (specifically FdMap and friends) This patch extends the previous patch's alterations around fd_map.

The current implementations require PCI devices to be hooked up to the configuration space via a separate configuration port. Devices query the platform to get their config-space address range. Un-mapped parts of the config space are intercepted using the XBar's default port mechanism and a magic catch-all device (PciConfigAll). This changeset redesigns the PCI host functionality to improve code reuse and make config-space and interrupt mapping more transparent. Existing platform code has been updated to use the new PCI host and configured to stay backwards compatible (i.e., no guest-side visible changes). The current implementation does not expose any new functionality, but it can easily be extended with features such as automatic interrupt mapping. PCI devices now register themselves with a PCI host controller. The host controller interface is defined in the abstract base class PciHost. Registration is done by PciHost::registerDevice() which takes the device, its bus position (bus/dev/func tuple), and its interrupt pin (INTA-INTC) as a parameter. The registration interface returns a PciHost::DeviceInterface that the PCI device can use to query memory mappings and signal interrupts. The host device manages the entire PCI configuration space. Accesses to devices decoded into the devices bus position and then forwarded to the correct device. Basic PCI host functionality is implemented in the GenericPciHost base class. Most platforms can use this class as a basic PCI controller. It provides the following functionality: * Configurable configuration space decoding. The number of bits dedicated to a device is a prameter, making it possible to support both CAM, ECAM, and legacy mappings. * Basic interrupt mapping using the interruptLine value from a device's configuration space. This behavior is the same as in the old implementation. More advanced controllers can override the interrupt mapping method to dynamically assign host interrupts to PCI devices. * Simple (base + addr) remapping from the PCI bus's address space to physical addresses for PIO, memory, and DMA. 10905:a6ca6831e775 Tue Jul 07 04:51:00 EDT 2015 Andreas Sandberg <andreas.sandberg@arm.com> 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. |

This functionality is crucial, especially when having exclusive (victim) caches. For example, if read-only L1 instruction caches are not sending clean writebacks, there will never be any spills from the L1 to the L2. At the moment the cache model defaults to not sending clean writebacks, and this should possibly be re-evaluated. The implementation of clean writebacks relies on a new packet command WritebackClean, which acts much like a Writeback (renamed WritebackDirty), and also much like a CleanEvict. On eviction of a clean block the cache either sends a clean evict, or a clean writeback, and if any copies are still cached upstream the clean evict/writeback is dropped. Similarly, if a clean evict/writeback reaches a cache where there are outstanding MSHRs for the block, the packet is dropped. In the typical case though, the clean writeback allocates a block in the downstream cache, and marks it writable if the evicted block was writable. The patch changes the O3_ARM_v7a L1 cache configuration and the default L1 caches in config/common/Caches.py 11197:f8fdd931e674 Fri Nov 06 03:26:00 EST 2015 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com> mem: Add cache clusivity This patch adds a parameter to control the cache clusivity, that is if the cache is mostly inclusive or exclusive. At the moment there is no intention to support strict policies, and thus the options are: 1) mostly inclusive, or 2) mostly exclusive. The choice of policy guides the behaviuor on a cache fill, and a new helper function, allocOnFill, is created to encapsulate the decision making process. For the timing mode, the decision is annotated on the MSHR on sending out the downstream packet, and in atomic we directly pass the decision to handleFill. We (ab)use the tempBlock in cases where we are not allocating on fill, leaving the rest of the cache unaffected. Simple and effective. This patch also makes it more explicit that multiple caches are allowed to consider a block writable (this is the case also before this patch). That is, for a mostly inclusive cache, multiple caches upstream may also consider the block exclusive. The caches considering the block writable/exclusive all appear along the same path to memory, and from a coherency protocol point of view it works due to the fact that we always snoop upwards in zero time before querying any downstream cache. Note that this patch does not introduce clean writebacks. Thus, for clean lines we are essentially removing a cache level if it is made mostly exclusive. For example, lines from the read-only L1 instruction cache or table-walker cache are always clean, and simply get dropped rather than being passed to the L2. If the L2 is mostly exclusive and does not allocate on fill it will thus never hold the line. A follow on patch adds the clean writebacks. The patch changes the L2 of the O3_ARM_v7a CPU configuration to be mostly exclusive (and stats are affected accordingly). 11053:62544e45c0f4 Fri Aug 21 07:03:00 EDT 2015 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com> mem: Add explicit Cache subclass and make BaseCache abstract Open up for other subclasses to BaseCache and transition to using the explicit Cache subclass. |

If they are present in the traces, Trace CPU will set those fields of the request during replay. 11252:18bb597fc40c Mon Dec 07 17:42:00 EST 2015 Radhika Jagtap <radhika.jagtap@ARM.com> cpu: Create record type enum for elastic traces This patch replaces the booleans that specified the elastic trace record type with an enum type. The source of change is the proto message for elastic trace where the enum is introduced. The struct definitions in the elastic trace probe listener as well as the Trace CPU replace the boleans with the proto message enum. The patch does not impact functionality, but traces are not compatible with previous version. This is preparation for adding new types of records in subsequent patches. 11249:0733a1c08600 Mon Dec 07 17:42:00 EST 2015 Radhika Jagtap <radhika.jagtap@ARM.com> cpu: Add TraceCPU to playback elastic traces This patch defines a TraceCPU that replays trace generated using the elastic trace probe attached to the O3 CPU model. The elastic trace is an execution trace with data dependencies and ordering dependencies annoted to it. It also replays fixed timestamp instruction fetch trace that is also generated by the elastic trace probe. The TraceCPU inherits from BaseCPU as a result of which some methods need to be defined. It has two port subclasses inherited from MasterPort for instruction and data ports. It issues the memory requests deducing the timing from the trace and without performing real execution of micro-ops. As soon as the last dependency for an instruction is complete, its computational delay, also provided in the input trace is added. The dependency-free nodes are maintained in a list, called 'ReadyList', ordered by ready time. Instructions which depend on load stall until the responses for read requests are received thus achieving elastic replay. If the dependency is not found when adding a new node, it is assumed complete. Thus, if this node is found to be completely dependency-free its issue time is calculated and it is added to the ready list immediately. This is encapsulated in the subclass ElasticDataGen. If ready nodes are issued in an unconstrained way there can be more nodes outstanding which results in divergence in timing compared to the O3CPU. Therefore, the Trace CPU also models hardware resources. A sub-class to model hardware resources is added which contains the maximum sizes of load buffer, store buffer and ROB. If resources are not available, the node is not issued. The 'depFreeQueue' structure holds nodes that are pending issue. Modeling the ROB size in the Trace CPU as a resource limitation is arguably the most important parameter of all resources. The ROB occupancy is estimated using the newly added field 'robNum'. We need to use ROB number as sequence number is at times much higher due to squashing and trace replay is focused on correct path modeling. A map called 'inFlightNodes' is added to track nodes that are not only in the readyList but also load nodes that are executed (and thus removed from readyList) but are not complete. ReadyList handles what and when to execute next node while the inFlightNodes is used for resource modelling. The oldest ROB number is updated when any node occupies the ROB or when an entry in the ROB is released. The ROB occupancy is equal to the difference in the ROB number of the newly dependency-free node and the oldest ROB number in flight. If no node dependends on a non load/store node then there is no reason to track it in the dependency graph. We filter out such nodes but count them and add a weight field to the subsequent node that we do include in the trace. The weight field is used to model ROB occupancy during replay. The depFreeQueue is chosen to be FIFO so that child nodes which are in program order get pushed into it in that order and thus issued in the in program order, like in the O3CPU. This is also why the dependents is made a sequential container, std::set to std::vector. We only check head of the depFreeQueue as nodes are issued in order and blocking on head models that better than looping the entire queue. An alternative choice would be to inspect top N pending nodes where N is the issue-width. This is left for future as the timing correlation looks good as it is. At the start of an execution event, first we attempt to issue such pending nodes by checking if appropriate resources have become available. If yes, we compute the execute tick with respect to the time then. Then we proceed to complete nodes from the readyList. When a read response is received, sometimes a dependency on it that was supposed to be released when it was issued is still not released. This occurs because the dependent gets added to the graph after the read was sent. So the check is made less strict and the dependency is marked complete on read response instead of insisting that it should have been removed on read sent. There is a check for requests spanning two cache lines as this condition triggers an assert fail in the L1 cache. If it does then truncate the size to access only until the end of that line and ignore the remainder. Strictly-ordered requests are skipped and the dependencies on such requests are handled by simply marking them complete immediately. The simulated seconds can be calculated as the difference between the final_tick stat and the tickOffset stat. A CountedExitEvent that contains a static int belonging to the Trace CPU class as a down counter is used to implement multi Trace CPU simulation exit. |

H A D | SConscript | 11247:76f75db08e09 Mon Dec 07 17:42:00 EST 2015 Radhika Jagtap <radhika.jagtap@ARM.com> proto, probe: Add elastic trace probe to o3 cpu The elastic trace is a type of probe listener and listens to probe points in multiple stages of the O3CPU. The notify method is called on a probe point typically when an instruction successfully progresses through that stage. As different listener methods mapped to the different probe points execute, relevant information about the instruction, e.g. timestamps and register accesses, are captured and stored in temporary InstExecInfo class objects. When the instruction progresses through the commit stage, the timing and the dependency information about the instruction is finalised and encapsulated in a struct called TraceInfo. TraceInfo objects are collected in a list instead of writing them out to the trace file one a time. This is required as the trace is processed in chunks to evaluate order dependencies and computational delay in case an instruction does not have any register dependencies. By this we achieve a simpler algorithm during replay because every record in the trace can be hooked onto a record in its past. The instruction dependency trace is written out as a protobuf format file. A second trace containing fetch requests at absolute timestamps is written to a separate protobuf format file. If the instruction is not executed then it is not added to the trace. The code checks if the instruction had a fault, if it predicated false and thus previous register values were restored or if it was a load/store that did not have a request (e.g. when the size of the request is zero). In all these cases the instruction is set as executed by the Execute stage and is picked up by the commit probe listener. But a request is not issued and registers are not written. So practically, skipping these should not hurt the dependency modelling. If squashing results in squashing younger instructions, it may happen that the squash probe discards the inst and removes it from the temporary store but execute stage deals with the instruction in the next cycle which results in the execute probe seeing this inst as 'new' inst. A sequence number of the last processed trace record is used to trap these cases and not add to the temporary store. The elastic instruction trace and fetch request trace can be read in and played back by the TraceCPU. |

Because some of these objects need to dereference their RubySystem pointers, they need access to the System.hh header file. In src/mem/ruby/SConscript, the MakeInclude function creates single-line header files in the build directory that do nothing except include the corresponding header file from the source tree. However, SLICC also generates a list of header files from its symbol table, and writes it to mem/protocol/Types.hh in the build directory. This code assumes that the header file name is the same as the class name. The end result of this is the many of the generated slicc files try to include RubySystem.hh, when the file they really need is System.hh. The path of least resistence is just to rename System.hh to RubySystem.hh. |

H A D | pagetable.cc | 10905:a6ca6831e775 Tue Jul 07 04:51:00 EDT 2015 Andreas Sandberg <andreas.sandberg@arm.com> 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. |
