This can be useful when the simulation goes through several stages (e.g., a warming phase, a simulation phase, and a verification phase) since it allows the output from each stage to be located in a different directory. Relocation is done by calling core.setOutputDir() from Python or simout.setOutputDirectory() from C++. This change affects several parts of the design of the gem5's output subsystem. First, files returned by an OutputDirectory instance (e.g., simout) are of the type OutputStream instead of a std::ostream. This allows us to do some more book keeping and control re-opening of files when the output directory is changed. Second, new subdirectories are OutputDirectory instances, which should be used to create files in that sub-directory.

The stat counts at most one underrun per frame since the controller aborts the current frame if it underruns. 11090:f37a6b82f98f Fri Sep 11 10:55:00 EDT 2015 Andreas Sandberg <andreas.sandberg@arm.com> dev, arm: Rewrite the HDLCD controller Rewrite the HDLCD controller to use the new DMA engine and pixel pump. This fixes several bugs in the current implementation: * Broken/missing interrupt support (VSync, underrun, DMA end) * Fragile resolution changes (changing resolutions used to cause assertion errors). * Support for resolutions with a width that isn't divisible by 32. * The pixel clock can now be set dynamically. This breaks checkpoint compatibility. Checkpoints can be upgraded with the checkpoint conversion script. However, upgraded checkpoints won't contain the state of the current frame. That means that HDLCD controllers restoring from a converted checkpoint immediately start drawing a new frame (i.e, expect timing differences). 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 changeset adds a workaround for that by swapping them when instantiating a PixelConverter. 10839:10cac0f0f419 Sat May 23 08:37:00 EDT 2015 Andreas Sandberg <andreas.sandberg@arm.com> base: Redesign internal frame buffer handling Currently, frame buffer handling in gem5 is quite ad hoc. In practice, we pass around naked pointers to raw pixel data and expect consumers to convert frame buffers using the (broken) VideoConverter. This changeset completely redesigns the way we handle frame buffers internally. In summary, it fixes several color conversion bugs, adds support for more color formats (e.g., big endian), and makes the code base easier to follow. In the new world, gem5 always represents pixel data using the Pixel struct when pixels need to be passed between different classes (e.g., a display controller and the VNC server). Producers of entire frames (e.g., display controllers) should use the FrameBuffer class to represent a frame. Frame producers are expected to create one instance of the FrameBuffer class in their constructors and register it with its consumers once. Consumers are expected to check the dimensions of the frame buffer when they consume it. Conversion between the external representation and the internal representation is supported for all common "true color" RGB formats of up to 32-bit color depth. The external pixel representation is expected to be between 1 and 4 bytes in either big endian or little endian. Color channels are assumed to be contiguous ranges of bits within each pixel word. The external pixel value is scaled to an 8-bit internal representation using a floating multiplication to map it to the entire 8-bit range. |

H A D | noncoherent_xbar.hh | 10912:b99a6662d7c2 Tue Jul 07 04:51:00 EDT 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. 10888:85a001f2193b Fri Jul 03 10:14:00 EDT 2015 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com> mem: Delay responses in the crossbar before forwarding This patch changes how the crossbar classes deal with responses. Instead of forwarding responses directly and burdening the neighbouring modules in paying for the latency (through the pkt->headerDelay), we now queue them before sending them. The coherency protocol is not affected as requests and any snoop requests/responses are still passed on in zero time. Thus, the responses end up paying for any header delay accumulated when passing through the crossbar. Any latency incurred on the request path will be paid for on the response side, if no other module has dealt with it. As a result of this patch, responses are returned at a later point. This affects the number of outstanding transactions, and quite a few regressions see an impact in blocking due to no MSHRs, increased cache-miss latencies, etc. Going forward we should be able to use the same concept also for snoop responses, and any request that is not an express snoop. 10719:b4fc9ad648aa Mon Mar 02 04:00:00 EST 2015 Marco Balboni <Marco.Balboni@ARM.com> mem: Add crossbar latencies This patch introduces latencies in crossbar that were neglected before. In particular, it adds three parameters in crossbar model: front_end_latency, forward_latency, and response_latency. Along with these parameters, three corresponding members are added: frontEndLatency, forwardLatency, and responseLatency. The coherent crossbar has an additional snoop_response_latency. The latency of the request path through the xbar is set as --> frontEndLatency + forwardLatency In case the snoop filter is enabled, the request path latency is charged also by look-up latency of the snoop filter. --> frontEndLatency + SF(lookupLatency) + forwardLatency. The latency of the response path through the xbar is set instead as --> responseLatency. In case of snoop response, if the response is treated as a normal response the latency associated is again --> responseLatency; If instead it is forwarded as snoop response we add an additional variable + snoopResponseLatency and the latency associated is --> snoopResponseLatency; Furthermore, this patch lets the crossbar progress on the next clock edge after an unused retry, changing the time the crossbar considers itself busy after sending a retry that was not acted upon. 10713:eddb533708cb Mon Mar 02 04:00:00 EST 2015 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com> 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. |

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. 10642:9d3b6e7dd205 Tue Jan 06 17:10:00 EST 2015 cdirik<cdirik@micron.com> dev: prevent intel 8254 timer counter events firing before startup This change includes edits to Intel8254Timer to prevent counter events firing before startup to comply with SimObject initialization call sequence.

In addition the patch adds and updates lots of descriptions, explicitly spelling out assumptions. The following name changes are made: * the packet memInhibit flag is renamed to cacheResponding * the packet sharedAsserted flag is renamed to hasSharers * the packet NeedsExclusive attribute is renamed to NeedsWritable * the packet isSupplyExclusive is renamed responderHadWritable * the MSHR pendingDirty is renamed to pendingModified The cache states, Modified, Owned, Exclusive, Shared are also called out in the cache and MSHR code to make it easier to understand. 11278:18411ccc4f3c Mon Dec 28 11:14:00 EST 2015 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com> mem: Remove unused cache squash functionality This patch removes the unused squash function from the MSHR queue, and the associated (and also unused) threadNum member from the MSHR. 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). 11168:f98eb2da15a4 Mon Oct 12 04:07:00 EDT 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 Tue Jul 07 04:51:00 EDT 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. 10764:b32578b2af99 Fri Mar 27 04:55:00 EDT 2015 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com> mem: Align all MSHR entries to block boundaries This patch aligns all MSHR queue entries to block boundaries to simplify checks for matches. Previously there were corner cases that could lead to existing entries not being identified as matches. There are, rather alarmingly, a few regressions that change with this patch. 10679:204a0f53035e Tue Feb 03 14:25:00 EST 2015 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com> mem: Clarify cache behaviour for pending dirty responses This patch adds a bit of clarification around the assumptions made in the cache when packets are sent out, and dirty responses are pending. As part of the change, the marking of an MSHR as in service is simplified slightly, and comments are added to explain what assumptions are made. |

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. 11074:2763a59c73ff Tue Sep 01 16:50:00 EDT 2015 Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu> ruby: remove random seed We no longer use the C library based random number generator: random().
