sim-se: rename Process::setpgid member

The getter methods to access these types of members do not
have a 'get' string in the method names. To make the interface
a bit more consistent, remove the 'set' part of the member name.

arch, base, cpu, gpu, sim: Merge getMemProxy and getVirtProxy.

These two functions were performing the same function but had two
different names for historical reasons. This change merges them
together, keeping the getVirtProxy name to be consistent with the
getPhysProxy method used to get a non-translating proxy port.

# 13995:5d459168a680 28-Aug-2018 Brandon Potter <brandon.potter@amd.com>

sim-se: change syscall function signature

The system calls had four parameters. One of the parameters
is ThreadContext and another is Process. The ThreadContext
holds the value of the current process so the Process parameter
is redundant since the system call functions already have
indirect access.

With the old API, it is possible to call into the functions with
the wrong supplied Process which could end up being a confusing
error.

This patch removes the redundancy by forcing access through the
ThreadContext field within each system call.

sim-se: add a faux-filesystem

This change introduces the concept of a faux-filesystem.
The faux-filesystem creates a directory structure in m5out
(or whatever output dir the user specifies) where system calls
may be redirected.

This is useful to avoid non-determinism when reading files
with varying path names (e.g., variations from run-to-run if
the simulation is scheduled on a cluster where paths may change).

Also, this changeset allows circumventing host pseudofiles which
have information specific to the host processor (such as cache
hierarchy or processor information). Bypassing host pseudofiles
can be useful when executing runtimes in the absence of an
operating system kernel since runtimes may try to query standard
files (i.e. /proc or /sys) which are not relevant to an
application executing in syscall emulation mode.

Change a66d12c guards the selection of getdents()
in x86's process.cc file with SYS_getdents, however
process.cc does not include the right header for
SYS_getdents, which leads to x86 choosing the
unimplemented call. This change adds sys/syscall.h to
address the problem.

This change also adds sys/syscall.hh to syscall_emu.cc,
which only includes syscall.hh and may not be supported on
all systems.

is not available on all archs, because the getdents syscall has been

This leads the build to break on aarch64 hosts with error:

syscall_emul: [patch 10/22] refactor fdentry and add fdarray class

Several large changes happen in this patch.

The FDEntry class is rewritten so that file descriptors now correspond to
types: 'File' which is normal file-backed file with the file open on the
host machine, 'Pipe' which is a pipe that has been opened on the host machine,
and 'Device' which does not have an open file on the host yet acts as a pseudo
device with which to issue ioctls. Other types which might be added in the
future are directory entries and sockets (off the top of my head).

The FDArray class was create to hold most of the file descriptor handling
that was stuffed into the Process class. It uses shared pointers and
the std::array type to hold the FDEntries mentioned above.

The changes to these two classes needed to be propagated out to the rest
of the code so there were quite a few changes for that. Also, comments were
added where I thought they were needed to help others and extend our
DOxygen coverage.

reg read per mmap() call since there's an arg we no longer ignore.
Otherwise, stats should not be affected.

syscall_emul: Bandage readlink /proc/self/exe

The recent changeset to readlink() to handle reading the /proc/self/exe link
introduces a number of problems. This patch fixes two:

1) Because readlink() called on /proc/self/exe now uses LiveProcess::progName()
to find the binary path, it will only get the zeroth parameter of the simulated
system command line. However, if a config script also specifies the process'
executable, the executable parameter is used to create the LiveProcess rather
than the zeroth command line parameter. Thus, the zeroth command line parameter
is not necessarily the correct path to the binary executing in the simulated
system. To fix this, add a LiveProcess data member, 'executable', which is
correctly set during instantiation and returned from progName().

2) If a config script allows a user to pass a relative path as the zeroth
simulated system command line parameter or process executable, readlink() will
incorrecly return a relative path when called on '/proc/self/exe'.
/proc/self/exe is always set to a full path, so running benchmarks can fail if
a relative path is returned. To fix this, clean up the handling of
LiveProcess::progName() within readlink() to get the full binary path.

NOTE: This patch still leaves the potential problem that host full path to the
binary bleeds into the simulated system, potentially causing the appearance of
non-deterministic simulated system execution.

This patch gets rid of unused Process::dup_fd method and does minor
refactoring in the process class files. The file descriptor max has been

altered to be dynamically allocated as opposed to being an array; the
intention here is to build on this is subsequent patches to allow processes
to share their file descriptors with the clone system call.

MEM: Make port proxies use references rather than pointers

This patch is adding a clearer design intent to all objects that would
not be complete without a port proxy by making the proxies members
rathen than dynamically allocated. In essence, if NULL would not be a
valid value for the proxy, then we avoid using a pointer to make this
clear.

The same approach is used for the methods using these proxies, such as
loadSections, that now use references rather than pointers to better
reflect the fact that NULL would not be an acceptable value (in fact
the code would break and that is how this patch started out).

Overall the concept of "using a reference to express unconditional
composition where a NULL pointer is never valid" could be done on a
much broader scale throughout the code base, but for now it is only
done in the locations affected by the proxies.


# 8706:b1838faf3bcc 17-Jan-2012 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com>

MEM: Add port proxies instead of non-structural ports

Port proxies are used to replace non-structural ports, and thus enable
all ports in the system to correspond to a structural entity. This has
the advantage of accessing memory through the normal memory subsystem
and thus allowing any constellation of distributed memories, address
maps, etc. Most accesses are done through the "system port" that is
used for loading binaries, debugging etc. For the entities that belong
to the CPU, e.g. threads and thread contexts, they wrap the CPU data
port in a port proxy.

The following replacements are made:
FunctionalPort > PortProxy
TranslatingPort > SETranslatingPortProxy
VirtualPort > FSTranslatingPortProxy

SE: move page allocation from PageTable to Process

PageTable supported an allocate() call that called back
through the Process to allocate memory, but did not have
a method to map addresses without allocating new pages.
It makes more sense for Process to do the allocation, so
this method was renamed allocateMem() and moved to Process,
and uses a new map() call on PageTable.

The remaining uses of the process pointer in PageTable
were only to get the name and the PID, so by passing these
in directly in the constructor, we can make PageTable
completely independent of Process.

ISA,CPU,etc: Create an ISA defined PC type that abstracts out ISA behaviors.



This change is a low level and pervasive reorganization of how PCs are managed
in M5. Back when Alpha was the only ISA, there were only 2 PCs to worry about,
the PC and the NPC, and the lsb of the PC signaled whether or not you were in
PAL mode. As other ISAs were added, we had to add an NNPC, micro PC and next
micropc, x86 and ARM introduced variable length instruction sets, and ARM
started to keep track of mode bits in the PC. Each CPU model handled PCs in
its own custom way that needed to be updated individually to handle the new
dimensions of variability, or, in the case of ARMs mode-bit-in-the-pc hack,
the complexity could be hidden in the ISA at the ISA implementation's expense.
Areas like the branch predictor hadn't been updated to handle branch delay
slots or micropcs, and it turns out that had introduced a significant (10s of
percent) performance bug in SPARC and to a lesser extend MIPS. Rather than
perpetuate the problem by reworking O3 again to handle the PC features needed
by x86, this change was introduced to rework PC handling in a more modular,
transparent, and hopefully efficient way.


PC type:

Rather than having the superset of all possible elements of PC state declared
in each of the CPU models, each ISA defines its own PCState type which has
exactly the elements it needs. A cross product of canned PCState classes are
defined in the new "generic" ISA directory for ISAs with/without delay slots
and microcode. These are either typedef-ed or subclassed by each ISA. To read
or write this structure through a *Context, you use the new pcState() accessor
which reads or writes depending on whether it has an argument. If you just
want the address of the current or next instruction or the current micro PC,
you can get those through read-only accessors on either the PCState type or
the *Contexts. These are instAddr(), nextInstAddr(), and microPC(). Note the
move away from readPC. That name is ambiguous since it's not clear whether or
not it should be the actual address to fetch from, or if it should have extra
bits in it like the PAL mode bit. Each class is free to define its own
functions to get at whatever values it needs however it needs to to be used in
ISA specific code. Eventually Alpha's PAL mode bit could be moved out of the
PC and into a separate field like ARM.

These types can be reset to a particular pc (where npc = pc +
sizeof(MachInst), nnpc = npc + sizeof(MachInst), upc = 0, nupc = 1 as
appropriate), printed, serialized, and compared. There is a branching()
function which encapsulates code in the CPU models that checked if an
instruction branched or not. Exactly what that means in the context of branch
delay slots which can skip an instruction when not taken is ambiguous, and
ideally this function and its uses can be eliminated. PCStates also generally
know how to advance themselves in various ways depending on if they point at
an instruction, a microop, or the last microop of a macroop. More on that
later.

Ideally, accessing all the PCs at once when setting them will improve
performance of M5 even though more data needs to be moved around. This is
because often all the PCs need to be manipulated together, and by getting them
all at once you avoid multiple function calls. Also, the PCs of a particular
thread will have spatial locality in the cache. Previously they were grouped
by element in arrays which spread out accesses.


Advancing the PC:

The PCs were previously managed entirely by the CPU which had to know about PC
semantics, try to figure out which dimension to increment the PC in, what to
set NPC/NNPC, etc. These decisions are best left to the ISA in conjunction
with the PC type itself. Because most of the information about how to
increment the PC (mainly what type of instruction it refers to) is contained
in the instruction object, a new advancePC virtual function was added to the
StaticInst class. Subclasses provide an implementation that moves around the
right element of the PC with a minimal amount of decision making. In ISAs like
Alpha, the instructions always simply assign NPC to PC without having to worry
about micropcs, nnpcs, etc. The added cost of a virtual function call should
be outweighed by not having to figure out as much about what to do with the
PCs and mucking around with the extra elements.

One drawback of making the StaticInsts advance the PC is that you have to
actually have one to advance the PC. This would, superficially, seem to
require decoding an instruction before fetch could advance. This is, as far as
I can tell, realistic. fetch would advance through memory addresses, not PCs,
perhaps predicting new memory addresses using existing ones. More
sophisticated decisions about control flow would be made later on, after the
instruction was decoded, and handed back to fetch. If branching needs to
happen, some amount of decoding needs to happen to see that it's a branch,
what the target is, etc. This could get a little more complicated if that gets
done by the predecoder, but I'm choosing to ignore that for now.


Variable length instructions:

To handle variable length instructions in x86 and ARM, the predecoder now
takes in the current PC by reference to the getExtMachInst function. It can
modify the PC however it needs to (by setting NPC to be the PC + instruction
length, for instance). This could be improved since the CPU doesn't know if
the PC was modified and always has to write it back.


ISA parser:

To support the new API, all PC related operand types were removed from the
parser and replaced with a PCState type. There are two warts on this
implementation. First, as with all the other operand types, the PCState still
has to have a valid operand type even though it doesn't use it. Second, using
syntax like PCS.npc(target) doesn't work for two reasons, this looks like the
syntax for operand type overriding, and the parser can't figure out if you're
reading or writing. Instructions that use the PCS operand (which I've
consistently called it) need to first read it into a local variable,
manipulate it, and then write it back out.


Return address stack:

The return address stack needed a little extra help because, in the presence
of branch delay slots, it has to merge together elements of the return PC and
the call PC. To handle that, a buildRetPC utility function was added. There
are basically only two versions in all the ISAs, but it didn't seem short
enough to put into the generic ISA directory. Also, the branch predictor code
in O3 and InOrder were adjusted so that they always store the PC of the actual
call instruction in the RAS, not the next PC. If the call instruction is a
microop, the next PC refers to the next microop in the same macroop which is
probably not desirable. The buildRetPC function advances the PC intelligently
to the next macroop (in an ISA specific way) so that that case works.


Change in stats:

There were no change in stats except in MIPS and SPARC in the O3 model. MIPS
runs in about 9% fewer ticks. SPARC runs with 30%-50% fewer ticks, which could
likely be improved further by setting call/return instruction flags and taking
advantage of the RAS.


TODO:

Add != operators to the PCState classes, defined trivially to be !(a==b).
Smooth out places where PCs are split apart, passed around, and put back
together later. I think this might happen in SPARC's fault code. Add ISA
specific constructors that allow setting PC elements without calling a bunch
of accessors. Try to eliminate the need for the branching() function. Factor
out Alpha's PAL mode pc bit into a separate flag field, and eliminate places
where it's blindly masked out or tested in the PC.

Syscalls: Make system calls access arguments like a stack, not an array.

When accessing arguments for a syscall, the position of an argument depends on
the policies of the ISA, how much space preceding arguments took up, and the
"alignment" of the index for this particular argument into the number of
possible storate locations. This change adjusts getSyscallArg to take its
index parameter by reference instead of value and to adjust it to point to the
possible location of the next argument on the stack, basically just after the
current one. This way, the rules for the new argument can be applied locally
without knowing about other arguments since those have already been taken into
account implicitly.

All system calls have also been changed to reflect the new interface. In a
number of cases this made the implementation clearer since it encourages
arguments to be collected in one place in order and then used as necessary
later, as opposed to scattering them throughout the function or using them in
place in long expressions. It also discourages using getSyscallArg over and
over to retrieve the same value when a temporary would do the job.

Change ExecContext to ThreadContext. This is being renamed to differentiate between the interface used objects outside of the CPU, and the interface used by the ISA. ThreadContext is used by objects outside of the CPU and is specifically defined in thread_context.hh. ExecContext is more implicit, and is defined by files such as base_dyn_inst.hh or cpu/simple/base.hh.

Further renames/reorganization will be coming shortly; what is currently CPUExecContext (the old ExecContext from m5) will be renamed to SimpleThread or something similar.

# 2667:fe64b8353b1c 09-Jun-2006 Steve Reinhardt <stever@eecs.umich.edu>

Move main control from C++ into Python.
User script now invokes initialization and
simulation loop after building configuration.
These functions are exported from C++ to Python
using SWIG.

SConstruct:
Set up SWIG builder & scanner.
Set up symlinking of source files into build directory
(by not disabling the default behavior).
configs/test/test.py:
Rewrite to use new script-driven interface.
Include a sample option.
src/SConscript:
Set up symlinking of source files into build directory
(by not disabling the default behavior).
Add SWIG-generated main_wrap.cc to source list.
src/arch/SConscript:
Set up symlinking of source files into build directory
(by not disabling the default behavior).

src/sim/serialize.cc:
src/sim/syscall_emul.cc:
SimExit() is now exitSimLoop().
src/cpu/base.cc:
SimExitEvent is now SimLoopExitEvent
src/python/SConscript:
Add SWIG build command for main.i.
Use python/m5 in build dir as source for zip archive...
easy now with file duplication enabled.
src/python/m5/__init__.py:
- Move copyright notice back to C++ so we can print
it right away, even for interactive sessions.
- Get rid of argument parsing code; just provide default
option descriptors for user script to call optparse with.
- Don't clutter m5 namespace by sucking in all of m5.config
and m5.objects.
- Move instantiate() function here from config.py.
src/python/m5/config.py:
- Move instantiate() function to __init__.py.
- Param.Foo deferred type lookups must use m5.objects
namespace now (not m5).

src/python/m5/objects/Uart.py:
Fix up imports (m5 namespace no longer includes m5.config).
src/sim/eventq.cc:
src/sim/eventq.hh:
Support for Python-called simulate() function:
- Use IsExitEvent flag to signal events that want
to exit the simulation loop gracefully (instead of
calling exit() to terminate the process).
- Modify interface to hand exit event object back to
caller so it can be inspected for cause.
src/sim/host.hh:
Add MaxTick constant.
src/sim/main.cc:
Move copyright notice back to C++ so we can print
it right away, even for interactive sessions.
Use PYTHONPATH environment var to set module path
(instead of clunky code injection method).
Move main control from here into Python:
- Separate initialization code and simulation loop
into separate functions callable from Python.
- Make Python interpreter invocation more pure (more
like directly invoking interpreter).
Add -i and -p flags (only options on binary itself;
other options processed by Python).
Import readline package when using interactive mode.
src/sim/sim_events.cc:
SimExitEvent is now SimLoopExitEvent, and uses
IsSimExit flag to terminate loop (instead of
exiting simulator process).
src/sim/sim_events.hh:
SimExitEvent is now SimLoopExitEvent, and uses
IsSimExit flag to terminate loop (instead of
exiting simulator process).
Get rid of a few unused constructors.
src/sim/sim_exit.hh:
SimExit() is now exitSimLoop().
Get rid of unused functions.
Add comments.

New directory structure:
- simulator source now in 'src' subdirectory
- imported files from 'ext' repository
- support building in arbitrary places, including
outside of the source tree. See comment at top
of SConstruct file for more details.
Regression tests are temporarily disabled; that
syetem needs more extensive revisions.

SConstruct:
Update for new directory structure.
Modify to support build trees that are not subdirectories
of the source tree. See comment at top of file for
more details.
