dev-arm: modify GICv3 ITS default addr

The current default base address for GICv3 ITS stated in RealView is
0x2c120000. The redistributors base address is 0x2c010000; each
instantiated core has an associated redistributor with memory region
size 0x40000 (with GICv4 extension, enabled by default). With 8 cores,
the redistributor range spans to 0x2c210000, creating a conflict with
the ITS address space.

This patch changes the ITS base address to 0x2e010000 which guarantees
no overlapping with the redistributor.

dev-arm: Fix PCI node's interrupt-map property

The PCI host has an interrupt-map property which only works for a fixed
setup of parent/child interrupt/address cells, which currently overlaps
with GICv2.
We want to make this flexible, so that the interrupt-map doesn't break
if we change the interrupt/address-cells value, and the patch is aiming
in that direction. This is also needed for GICv3 DTB autogeneration,
since it is using different values than GICv2.

dev-arm: Provide a GICv3 ITS Implementation

This patch introduces the GICv3 ITS module, which is in charge of
translating MSIs into physical (GICv3) and virtual (GICv4) LPIs. The
patch is only GICv3 compliant, which means that there is no direct
virtual LPI injection (this also means V* commands are unimplemented)
Other missing features are:

* No 2level ITS tables (only flat table supported)

* Command errors: when there is an error in the ITS, it is
IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED on how the ITS behaves. There are three possible
scenarios (see GICv3 TRM) and this implementation only supports one of
these (which is, aborting the command and jumping to the next one).
Furter patches could make it possible to select different reactions

* Invalidation commands (INV, INVALL) are only doing the memory table
walks, assuming the current Gicv3Redistributor is not caching any
configuration table entry.

dev-arm: Limit number of max PE in GICv3 to 128

This is needed since there is a problem in the memory layout of
VExpress_GEM5_V2 as it is: having 256KB pages is creating overlapping
regions when reserving space for 256 PEs.

GICv3 redistributors: 0x2c010000 - 0x30010000
PCI regions: 0x30000000 - 0x40000000

We fix this by cutting down the number of supported PEs to 128

dev-arm: rename Pl390 to GicV2

The Pl390 model has evolved and acquired a lot of the features from GICv2,
which means that the name is no longer appropriate. Rename it to GICv2
since this is more representative of the supported features.

GICv2 is backwards compatible with the older Pl390, so we decided to
simply rename the class to represent both GICv2 and older interfaces such
as the instead of creating a new separate one.

arm: DT autogeneration - generate PCI node

Enables automatic generation of Device Trees for RealView PCI host
controllers. Note that some parts are more hard coded than you'd want,
but this is due to the limited understanding the PCI host has of its
configuration (i.e. it doesn't know all memory ranges). Fixing this,

arm: make Arm GenericTimer a ClockedObject

Within a device tree, the GenericTimer device needs to point (via phandle)
to a clock domain which is itself also an object in the device tree. Within
gem5, clock domains are managed by making all clocked SimObjects inherit
from ClockedObject rather than SimObject.

Without this change, the GenericTimer is unable to generate the appropriate
clock domain phandle, and will crash during DTB autogeneration.

sim: Implement load_addr_mask auto-calculation

Recent Linux kernels for AArch64 have changed their start addresses
but we still want to relocate the kernel to 0x80080000 which
required hacking the load_addr_mask in Realview.py to be 0x7ffffff
from 0xfffffff to mask off the proper number of MSBs to load the
kernel in the desired location. To avoid having to make this change
in the future again, we auto-calculate the load_addr_mask if it is
specified as 0x0 in the System sim-object to find the most restrictive
address mask instead of having the configuration specify it. If the
configuration does specify the address mask, we use it instead of
auto-calculating.

dev, arm: Add support for automatic PCI interrupt routing

Add support for automatic PCI interrupt routing using a device's ID on
the PCI bus. Our current DTBs typically tell the kernel that we do
this or something similar when declaring the PCI controller. This
changeset adds an option to make the simulator behave in the same way.

Interrupt routing can be selected by setting the int_policy parameter
in the GenericArmPciHost. The following values are supported:

* ARM_PCI_INT_STATIC: Use the old static routing policy using the
interrupt line from a device's configurtion space.

* ARM_PCI_INT_DEV: Use device number on the PCI bus to map to an
interrupt in the GIC. The interrupt is computed as:

gic_int = int_base + (pci_dev % int_count)

* ARM_PCI_INT_PIN: Use device interrupt pin on the PCI bus to map to
an interrupt in the GIC. The PCI specification reserves pin ID 0
for devices without interrupts, the interrupt therefore computed
as:

gic_int = int_base + ((pin - 1) % int_count)


# 11244:a2af58a06c4e 04-Dec-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.

This changeset splits the VExpressCoreTileCtrl into two subsystems:
VExpressMCC for all motherboard-related devices and CoreTile2A15DCC
for Core Tile specific devices.

* Fragile resolution changes (changing resolutions used

* 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).

counters. Virtual and physical counters both tick with the same

VM (i.e., doesn't tick when the VM isn't running). Modern Linux
kernels generally assume that virtual counters exist and try to use
them by default.

dev, arm: Add support for linux generic pci host driver

This change adds support for a generic pci host bus driver that
has been included in recent Linux kernel instead of the more
bespoke one we've been using to date. It also works with
aarch64 so it provides PCI support for 64-bit ARM Linux.

To make this work a new configuration option pci_io_base is added
to the RealView platform that should be set to the start of
the memory used as memory mapped IO ports (IO ports that are
memory mapped, not regular memory mapped IO). And a parameter
pci_cfg_gen_offsets which specifies if the config space
offsets should be used that the generic driver expects.

To use the pci-host-generic device you need to:
pci_io_base = 0x2f000000 (Valid for VExpress EMM)
pci_cfg_gen_offsets = True

and add the following to your device tree:

pci {
compatible = "pci-host-ecam-generic";
device_type = "pci";
#address-cells = <0x3>;
#size-cells = <0x2>;
#interrupt-cells = <0x1>;
//bus-range = <0x0 0x1>;

// CPU_PHYSICAL(2) SIZE(2)
// Note, some DTS blobs only support 1 size
reg = <0x0 0x30000000 0x0 0x10000000>;

// IO (1), no bus address (2), cpu address (2), size (2)

<0x02000000 0x0 0x40000000 0x0 0x40000000 0x0 0x10000000>;

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.

arm: Create a GIC base class and make the PL390 derive from it

This patch moves the GIC interface to a separate base class and makes
all interrupt devices use that base class instead of a pointer to the
PL390 implementation. This allows us to have multiple GIC
implementations. Future implementations will allow in-kernel GIC
implementations when using hardware virtualization.

dev: Fix the Pl111 timings by separating pixel and DMA clock

This patch fixes the Pl111 timings by creating a separate clock for
the pixel timings. The device clock is used for all interactions with
the memory system, just like the AHB clock on the actual module.

The result without this patch is that the module only is allowed to
send one request every tick of the 24MHz clock which causes a huge
backlog.

sim: Include object header files in SWIG interfaces

When casting objects in the generated SWIG interfaces, SWIG uses
classical C-style casts ( (Foo *)bar; ). In some cases, this can
degenerate into the equivalent of a reinterpret_cast (mainly if only a
forward declaration of the type is available). This usually works for
most compilers, but it is known to break if multiple inheritance is
used anywhere in the object hierarchy.

This patch introduces the cxx_header attribute to Python SimObject
definitions, which should be used to specify a header to include in
the SWIG interface. The header should include the declaration of the
wrapped object. We currently don't enforce header the use of the
header attribute, but a warning will be generated for objects that do
not use it.

Clock: Move the clock and related functions to ClockedObject

This patch moves the clock of the CPU, bus, and numerous devices to
the new class ClockedObject, that sits in between the SimObject and
MemObject in the class hierarchy. Although there are currently a fair
amount of MemObjects that do not make use of the clock, they
potentially should do so, e.g. the caches should at some point have
the same clock as the CPU, potentially with a 1:n ratio. This patch
does not introduce any new clock objects or object hierarchies
(clusters, clock domains etc), but is still a step in the direction of
having a more structured approach clock domains.

The most contentious part of this patch is the serialisation of clocks
that some of the modules (but not all) did previously. This
serialisation should not be needed as the clock is set through the
parameters even when restoring from the checkpoint. In other words,
the state is "stored" in the Python code that creates the modules.

The nextCycle methods are also simplified and the clock phase
parameter of the CPU is removed (this could be part of a clock object
once they are introduced).

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.

MEM: Fix residual bus ports and make them master/slave

This patch cleans up a number of remaining uses of bus.port which
is now split into bus.master and bus.slave. The only non-trivial change
is the memtest where the level building now has to be aware of the role
of the ports used in the previous level.


# 8839:eeb293859255 13-Feb-2012 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com>

MEM: Introduce the master/slave port roles in the Python classes

This patch classifies all ports in Python as either Master or Slave
and enforces a binding of master to slave. Conceptually, a master (such
as a CPU or DMA port) issues requests, and receives responses, and
conversely, a slave (such as a memory or a PIO device) receives
requests and sends back responses. Currently there is no
differentiation between coherent and non-coherent masters and slaves.

The classification as master/slave also involves splitting the dual
role port of the bus into a master and slave port and updating all the
system assembly scripts to use the appropriate port. Similarly, the
interrupt devices have to have their int_port split into a master and
slave port. The intdev and its children have minimal changes to
facilitate the extra port.

Note that this patch does not enforce any port typing in the C++
world, it merely ensures that the Python objects have a notion of the
port roles and are connected in an appropriate manner. This check is
carried when two ports are connected, e.g. bus.master =
memory.port. The following patches will make use of the
classifications and specialise the C++ ports into masters and slaves.

MEM: Removing the default port peer from Python ports

In preparation for the introduction of Master and Slave ports, this
patch removes the default port parameter in the Python port and thus
forces the argument list of the Port to contain only the
description. The drawback at this point is that the config port and
dma port of PCI and DMA devices have to be connected explicitly. This
is key for future diversification as the pio and config port are
slaves, but the dma port is a master.


# 8713:2f1a3e335255 17-Jan-2012 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com>

MEM: Make the bus bridge unidirectional and fixed address range

This patch makes the bus bridge uni-directional and specialises the
bus ports to be a master port and a slave port. This greatly
simplifies the assumptions on both sides as either port only has to
deal with requests or responses. The following patches introduce the
notion of master and slave ports, and would not be possible without
this split of responsibilities.

In making the bridge unidirectional, the address range mechanism of
the bridge is also changed. For the cases where communication is
taking place both ways, an additional bridge is needed. This causes
issues with the existing mechanism, as the busses cannot determine
when to stop iterating the address updates from the two bridges. To
avoid this issue, and also greatly simplify the specification, the
bridge now has a fixed set of address ranges, specified at creation
time.
