H A Dremote_gdb.cc11274:d9a0136ab8cc Fri Dec 18 16:12:00 EST 2015 Boris Shingarov <shingarov@labware.com> arm: remote GDB: rationalize structure of register offsets

Currently, the wire format of register values in g- and G-packets is
modelled using a union of uint8/16/32/64 arrays. The offset positions
of each register are expressed as a "register count" scaled according
to the width of the register in question. This results in counter-
intuitive and error-prone "register count arithmetic", and some
formats would even be altogether unrepresentable in such model, e.g.
a 64-bit register following a 32-bit one would have a fractional index
in the regs64 array.
Another difficulty is that the array is allocated before the actual
architecture of the workload is known (and therefore before the correct
size for the array can be calculated).

With this patch I propose a simpler mechanism for expressing the
register set structure. In the new code, GdbRegCache is an abstract
class; its subclasses contain straightforward structs reflecting the
register representation. The determination whether to use e.g. the
AArch32 vs. AArch64 register set (or SPARCv8 vs SPARCv9, etc.) is made
by polymorphically dispatching getregs() to the concrete subclass.
The subclass is not instantiated until it is needed for actual
g-/G-packet processing, when the mode is already known.

This patch is not meant to be merged in on its own, because it changes
the contract between src/base/remote_gdb.* and src/arch/*/remote_gdb.*,
so as it stands right now, it would break the other architectures.
In this patch only the base and the ARM code are provided for review;
once we agree on the structure, I will provide src/arch/*/remote_gdb.*
for the other architectures; those patches could then be merged in
together.

Currently, each op class has a parameter issueLat that denotes the cycles after
which another op of the same class can be issued. As of now, this latency can
either be one cycle (fully pipelined) or same as execution latency of the op
(not at all pipelined). The fact that issueLat is a parameter of type Cycles
makes one believe that it can be set to any value. To avoid the confusion, the
parameter is being renamed as 'pipelined' with type boolean. If set to true,
the op would execute in a fully pipelined fashion. Otherwise, it would execute
in an unpipelined fashion.

This patch allows the ruby random tester to use ruby ports that may only
support instr or data requests. This patch is similar to a previous changeset
(8932:1b2c17565ac8) that was unfortunately broken by subsequent changesets.
This current patch implements the support in a more straight-forward way.
Since retries are now tested when running the ruby random tester, this patch
splits up the retry and drain check behavior so that RubyPort children, such
as the GPUCoalescer, can perform those operations correctly without having to
duplicate code. Finally, the patch also includes better DPRINTFs for
debugging the tester.

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.

This patch unifies how we deal with delayed packet deletion, where the
receiving slave is responsible for deleting the packet, but the
sending agent (e.g. a cache) is still relying on the pointer until the
call to sendTimingReq completes. Previously we used a mix of a
deletion vector and a construct using unique_ptr. With this patch we
ensure all slaves use the latter approach.

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.
10883:9294c4a60251 Fri Jul 03 10:14:00 EDT 2015 Ali Jafri <ali.jafri@arm.com> mem: Add clean evicts to improve snoop filter tracking

This patch adds eviction notices to the caches, to provide accurate
tracking of cache blocks in snoop filters. We add the CleanEvict
message to the memory heirarchy and use both CleanEvicts and
Writebacks with BLOCK_CACHED flags to propagate notice of clean and
dirty evictions respectively, down the memory hierarchy. Note that the
BLOCK_CACHED flag indicates whether there exist any copies of the
evicted block in the caches above the evicting cache.

The purpose of the CleanEvict message is to notify snoop filters of
silent evictions in the relevant caches. The CleanEvict message
behaves much like a Writeback. CleanEvict is a write and a request but
unlike a Writeback, CleanEvict does not have data and does not need
exclusive access to the block. The cache generates the CleanEvict
message on a fill resulting in eviction of a clean block. Before
travelling downwards CleanEvict requests generate zero-time snoop
requests to check if the same block is cached in upper levels of the
memory heirarchy. If the block exists, the cache discards the
CleanEvict message. The snoops check the tags, writeback queue and the
MSHRs of upper level caches in a manner similar to snoops generated
from HardPFReqs. Currently CleanEvicts keep travelling towards main
memory unless they encounter the block corresponding to their address
or reach main memory (since we have no well defined point of
serialisation). Main memory simply discards CleanEvict messages.

We have modified the behavior of Writebacks, such that they generate
snoops to check for the presence of blocks in upper level caches. It
is possible in our current implmentation for a lower level cache to be
writing back a block while a shared copy of the same block exists in
the upper level cache. If the snoops find the same block in upper
level caches, we set the BLOCK_CACHED flag in the Writeback message.

We have also added logic to account for interaction of other message
types with CleanEvicts waiting in the writeback queue. A simple
example is of a response arriving at a cache removing any CleanEvicts
to the same address from the cache's writeback queue.
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.

10656:bd376adfb7d4 Thu Jan 22 05:01:00 EST 2015 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com> mem: Make the XBar responsible for tracking response routing

This patch removes the need for a source and destination field in the
packet by shifting the onus of the tracking to the crossbar, much like
a real implementation. This change in behaviour also means we no
longer need a SenderState to remember the source/dest when ever we
have multiple crossbars in the system. Thus, the stack that was
created by the SenderState is not needed, and each crossbar locally
tracks the response routing.

The fields in the packet are still left behind as the RubyPort (which
also acts as a crossbar) does routing based on them. In the succeeding
patches the uses of the src and dest field will be removed. Combined,
these patches improve the simulation performance by roughly 2%.

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.

10964:2b4fe083d17b Mon Jul 20 10:15:00 EDT 2015 David Hashe <david.hashe@amd.com> slicc: support for transitions with a wildcard next state

This patches adds support for transitions of the form:

transition(START, EVENTS, *) { ACTIONS }

This allows a machine to collapse states that differ only in the next state
transition to collapse into one, and can help shorten/simplfy some protocols
significantly.

When * is encountered as an end state of a transition, the next state is
determined by calling the machine-specific getNextState function. The next
state is determined before any actions of the transition execute, and
therefore the next state calculation cannot depend on any of the transition
actions.

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.

garnet networks to be in Network.
11111:6da33e720481 Wed Sep 16 12:59:00 EDT 2015 Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu> ruby: message buffer, timer table: significant changes

This patch changes MessageBuffer and TimerTable, two structures used for
buffering messages by components in ruby. These structures would no longer
maintain pointers to clock objects. Functions in these structures have been
changed to take as input current time in Tick. Similarly, these structures
will not operate on Cycle valued latencies for different operations. The
corresponding functions would need to be provided with these latencies by
components invoking the relevant functions. These latencies should also be
in Ticks.

I felt the need for these changes while trying to speed up ruby. The ultimate
aim is to eliminate Consumer class and replace it with an EventManager object in
the MessageBuffer and TimerTable classes. This object would be used for
scheduling events. The event itself would contain information on the object and
function to be invoked.

In hindsight, it seems I should have done this while I was moving away from use
of a single global clock in the memory system. That change led to introduction
of clock objects that replaced the global clock object. It never crossed my
mind that having clock object pointers is not a good design. And now I really
don't like the fact that we have separate consumer, receiver and sender
pointers in message buffers.
11108:6342ddf6d733 Wed Sep 16 00:03:00 EDT 2015 David Hashe <david.hashe@amd.com> ruby: rename System.{hh,cc} to RubySystem.{hh,cc}

The eventual aim of this change is to pass RubySystem pointers through to
objects generated from the SLICC protocol code.

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 DSConscript10839:10cac0f0f419 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 Dhost.hh11244:a2af58a06c4e Fri Dec 04 19:11:00 EST 2015 Andreas Sandberg <andreas.sandberg@arm.com> dev: Rewrite PCI host functionality

The gem5's current PCI host functionality is very ad hoc. 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.

1. Apparently gcc 5.1 does not like negation of booleans followed by

2. Somehow the compiler also gets confused and warns about
NoopMachInst being unused (removing it causes compilation errors
though). Most likely a compiler bug.

3. There seems to be a number of instances where loop unrolling causes
false positives for the array-bounds check. For now, switch to
std::array. Potentially we could disable the warning for newer gcc
versions, but switching to std::array is probably a good move in
any case.

Timing generator for a pixel-based display. The timing generator is
intended for display processors driving a standard rasterized
display. The simplest possible display processor needs to derive from
this class and override the nextPixel() method to feed the display
with pixel data.

Pixels are ordered relative to the top left corner of the
display. Scan lines appear in the following order:

* Vertical Sync (starting at line 0)
* Vertical back porch
* Visible lines
* Vertical front porch

Pixel order within a scan line:

* Horizontal Sync
* Horizontal Back Porch
* Visible pixels
* Horizontal Front Porch

All events in the timing generator are automatically suspended on a
drain() request and restarted on drainResume(). This is conceptually
equivalent to clock gating when the pixel clock while the system is
draining. By gating the pixel clock, we prevent display controllers
from disturbing a memory system that is about to drain.
