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.

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). |

However, objects not visible to the Python code (i.e., objects not deriving from SimObject) still depend on their parents informing them when to drain.

All the functionality related to the binding of ports is now confined to use BaseMaster/BaseSlavePorts, and all the protocol-specific parts stay in the Master/SlavePort. In the future it will be possible to add other protocol-specific implementations. The functions used in the binding of ports, i.e. getMaster/SlavePort now use the base classes, and the index parameter is updated to use the PortID typedef with the symbolic InvalidPortID as the default. diff 9264:1607119c36bb Tue Sep 25 12:49:00 EDT 2012 Djordje Kovacevic <djordje.kovacevic@arm.com> MEM: Put memory system document into doxygen diff 9228:bbdca4088834 Tue Sep 18 10:30:00 EDT 2012 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com> Mem: Add a maximum bandwidth to SimpleMemory This patch makes a minor addition to the SimpleMemory by enforcing a maximum data rate. The bandwidth is configurable, and a reasonable value (12.8GB/s) has been choosen as the default. The changes do add some complexity to the SimpleMemory, but they should definitely be justifiable as this enables a far more realistic setup using even this simple memory controller. The rate regulation is done for reads and writes combined to reflect the bidirectional data busses used by most (if not all) relevant memories. Moreover, the regulation is done per packet as opposed to long term, as it is the short term data rate (data bus width times frequency) that is the limiting factor. A follow-up patch bumps the stats for the regressions. diff 9120:48eeef8a0997 Thu Jul 12 00:56:00 EDT 2012 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com> Mem: Make SimpleMemory single ported This patch changes the simple memory to have a single slave port rather than a vector port. The simple memory makes no attempts at modelling the contention between multiple ports, and any such multiplexing and demultiplexing could be done in a bus (or crossbar) outside the memory controller. This scenario also matches with the ongoing work on a SimpleDRAM model, which will be a single-ported single-channel controller that can be used in conjunction with a bus (or crossbar) to create a multi-port multi-channel controller. There are only very few regressions that make use of the vector port, and these are all for functional accesses only. To facilitate these cases, memtest and memtest-ruby have been updated to also have a "functional" bus to perform the (de)multiplexing of the functional memory accesses. diff 9090:e4e22240398f Mon Jul 09 00:35:00 EDT 2012 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com> Port: Make getAddrRanges const This patch makes getAddrRanges const throughout the code base. There is no reason why it should not be, and making it const prevents adding any unintentional side-effects. 8931:7a1dfb191e3f Fri Apr 06 13:46:00 EDT 2012 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com> 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. |

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. diff 8706:b1838faf3bcc Tue Jan 17 01:55:00 EST 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 |

Most of the warnings are related to hidden virtual functions, comparisons with unsigneds >= 0, and if-statements with empty bodies. A number of mismatches between struct and class are also fixed. clang 2.8 is not working as it has problems with class names that occur in multiple namespaces (e.g. Statistics in kernel_stats.hh). clang has a bug (http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=7247) which causes confusion between the container std::set and the function Packet::set, and this is currently addressed by not including the entire namespace std, but rather selecting e.g. "using std::vector" in the appropriate places. |

By doing so it also enables further specialisation of the two types of buses. A non-coherent bus connects a number of non-snooping masters and slaves, and routes the request and response packets based on the address. The request packets issued by the master connected to a non-coherent bus could still snoop in caches attached to a coherent bus, as is the case with the I/O bus and memory bus in most system configurations. No snoops will, however, reach any master on the non-coherent bus itself. The non-coherent bus can be used as a template for modelling PCI, PCIe, and non-coherent AMBA and OCP buses, and is typically used for the I/O buses. A coherent bus connects a number of (potentially) snooping masters and slaves, and routes the request and response packets based on the address, and also forwards all requests to the snoopers and deals with the snoop responses. The coherent bus can be used as a template for modelling QPI, HyperTransport, ACE and coherent OCP buses, and is typically used for the L1-to-L2 buses and as the main system interconnect.

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. diff 8833:2870638642bd Sun Feb 12 17:07:00 EST 2012 Dam Sunwoo <dam.sunwoo@arm.com> mem: fix cache stats to use request ids correctly This patch fixes the cache stats to use the new request ids.

Ultimately this patch serves to enable future work that involves dynamic frequency scaling. As an immediate benefit it also makes it more convenient to specify cache performance without implicitly assuming a specific CPU core operating frequency. The stat blocked_cycles that actually counter in ticks is now updated to count in cycles. As the timing is now rounded to the clock edges of the cache, there are some regressions that change. Plenty of them have very minor changes, whereas some regressions with a short run-time are perturbed quite significantly.

By doing so it also enables further specialisation of the two types of buses. A non-coherent bus connects a number of non-snooping masters and slaves, and routes the request and response packets based on the address. The request packets issued by the master connected to a non-coherent bus could still snoop in caches attached to a coherent bus, as is the case with the I/O bus and memory bus in most system configurations. No snoops will, however, reach any master on the non-coherent bus itself. The non-coherent bus can be used as a template for modelling PCI, PCIe, and non-coherent AMBA and OCP buses, and is typically used for the I/O buses. A coherent bus connects a number of (potentially) snooping masters and slaves, and routes the request and response packets based on the address, and also forwards all requests to the snoopers and deals with the snoop responses. The coherent bus can be used as a template for modelling QPI, HyperTransport, ACE and coherent OCP buses, and is typically used for the L1-to-L2 buses and as the main system interconnect.

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. diff 8920:99083b5b7ed4 Wed Mar 28 12:01:00 EDT 2012 Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu> Config: Change the way options are added I am not too happy with the way options are added in files se.py and fs.py currently.

Instead of bumping the existing patch I chose to make this a separate patch, merely to try and focus the discussion around a smaller set of changes. The two patches will be pushed together though. This changes done as part of this patch are mostly following directly from the introduction of the wrapper class, and change enough code to make things compile and run again. There are definitely more places where int/uint/Tick is still used to represent cycles, and it will take some time to chase them all down. Similarly, a lot of parameters should be changed from Param.Tick and Param.Unsigned to Param.Cycles. In addition, the use of curTick is questionable as there should not be an absolute cycle. Potential solutions can be built on top of this patch. There is a similar situation in the o3 CPU where lastRunningCycle is currently counting in Cycles, and is still an absolute time. More discussion to be had in other words. An additional change that would be appropriate in the future is to perform a similar wrapping of Tick and probably also introduce a Ticks class along with suitable operators for all these classes. diff 9179:666bc9df1e49 Tue Aug 28 14:30:00 EDT 2012 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com> Clock: Rework clocks to avoid tick-to-cycle transformations This patch introduces the notion of a clock update function that aims to avoid costly divisions when turning the current tick into a cycle. Each clocked object advances a private (hidden) cycle member and a tick member and uses these to implement functions for getting the tick of the next cycle, or the tick of a cycle some time in the future. In the different modules using the clocks, changes are made to avoid counting in ticks only to later translate to cycles. There are a few oddities in how the O3 and inorder CPU count idle cycles, as seen by a few locations where a cycle is subtracted in the calculation. This is done such that the regression does not change any stats, but should be revisited in a future patch. Another, much needed, change that is not done as part of this patch is to introduce a new typedef uint64_t Cycle to be able to at least hint at the unit of the variables counting Ticks vs Cycles. This will be done as a follow-up patch. As an additional follow up, the thread context still uses ticks for the book keeping of last activate and last suspend and this should probably also be changed into cycles as well. diff 9157:e0bad9d7bbd6 Tue Aug 21 05:49:00 EDT 2012 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com> 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). diff 9090:e4e22240398f Mon Jul 09 00:35:00 EDT 2012 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com> Port: Make getAddrRanges const This patch makes getAddrRanges const throughout the code base.

All the functionality related to the binding of ports is now confined to use BaseMaster/BaseSlavePorts, and all the protocol-specific parts stay in the Master/SlavePort.

A master port sends requests and receives responses, and also receives snoop requests and sends snoop responses. A slave port has the reciprocal behaviour as it receives requests and sends responses, and sends snoop requests and receives snoop responses. For all MemObjects that have only master ports or slave ports (but not both), e.g. a CPU, or a PIO device, this patch merely adds more clarity to what kind of access is taking place. For example, a CPU port used to call sendTiming, and will now call sendTimingReq. Similarly, a response previously came back through recvTiming, which is now recvTimingResp. For the modules that have both master and slave ports, e.g. the bus, the behaviour was previously relying on branches based on pkt->isRequest(), and this is now replaced with a direct call to the apprioriate member function depending on the type of access. Please note that send/recvRetry is still shared by all the timing accessors and remains in the Port base class for now (to maintain the current bus functionality and avoid changing the statistics of all regressions). The packet queue is split into a MasterPort and SlavePort version to facilitate the use of the new timing accessors. All uses of the PacketQueue are updated accordingly. With this patch, the type of packet (request or response) is now well defined for each type of access, and asserts on pkt->isRequest() and pkt->isResponse() are now moved to the appropriate send member functions. It is also worth noting that sendTimingSnoopReq no longer returns a boolean, as the semantics do not alow snoop requests to be rejected or stalled. All these assumptions are now excplicitly part of the port interface itself. diff 8965:1ebd7c856abc Wed Apr 25 10:41:00 EDT 2012 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com> MEM: Add the PortId type and a corresponding id field to Port This patch introduces the PortId type, moves the definition of INVALID_PORT_ID to the Port class, and also gives every port an id to reflect the fact that each element in a vector port has an identifier/index.

There is no reason for using the more specialised pointers, and there is no longer a need to do any casting. With the latest changes to the tester, organising ports as readers and writes, things got a bit more complicated, and the "type" now had to be removed to be able to fall back to using MasterPort rather than CpuPort. diff 8948:e95ee70f876c Sat Apr 14 05:45:00 EDT 2012 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com> MEM: Separate snoops and normal memory requests/responses This patch introduces port access methods that separates snoop request/responses from normal memory request/responses. The differentiation is made for functional, atomic and timing accesses and builds on the introduction of master and slave ports. Before the introduction of this patch, the packets belonging to the different phases of the protocol (request -> [forwarded snoop request -> snoop response]* -> response) all use the same port access functions, even though the snoop packets flow in the opposite direction to the normal packet. That is, a coherent master sends normal request and receives responses, but receives snoop requests and sends snoop responses (vice versa for the slave). These two distinct phases now use different access functions, as described below. Starting with the functional access, a master sends a request to a slave through sendFunctional, and the request packet is turned into a response before the call returns. In a system without cache coherence, this is all that is needed from the functional interface. For the cache-coherent scenario, a slave also sends snoop requests to coherent masters through sendFunctionalSnoop, with responses returned within the same packet pointer. This is currently used by the bus and caches, and the LSQ of the O3 CPU. The send/recvFunctional and send/recvFunctionalSnoop are moved from the Port super class to the appropriate subclass. Atomic accesses follow the same flow as functional accesses, with request being sent from master to slave through sendAtomic. In the case of cache-coherent ports, a slave can send snoop requests to a master through sendAtomicSnoop. Just as for the functional access methods, the atomic send and receive member functions are moved to the appropriate subclasses. The timing access methods are different from the functional and atomic in that requests and responses are separated in time and send/recvTiming are used for both directions. Hence, a master uses sendTiming to send a request to a slave, and a slave uses sendTiming to send a response back to a master, at a later point in time. Snoop requests and responses travel in the opposite direction, similar to what happens in functional and atomic accesses. With the introduction of this patch, it is possible to determine the direction of packets in the bus, and no longer necessary to look for both a master and a slave port with the requested port id. In contrast to the normal recvFunctional, recvAtomic and recvTiming that are pure virtual functions, the recvFunctionalSnoop, recvAtomicSnoop and recvTimingSnoop have a default implementation that calls panic. This is to allow non-coherent master and slave ports to not implement these functions. diff 8941:a47fd7c2d44e Fri Apr 06 20:51:00 EDT 2012 Brad Beckmann <Brad.Beckmann@amd.com> rubytest: remove spurious printf diff 8932:1b2c17565ac8 Fri Apr 06 16:47:00 EDT 2012 Brad Beckmann <Brad.Beckmann@amd.com> rubytest: seperated read and write ports.

The patch enables us to classify behaviours into the two bins and add assumptions and enfore compliance, also simplifying the two interfaces. As a starting point, isSnooping is confined to a master port, and getAddrRanges to slave ports. More of these specilisations are to come in later patches. The getPort function is not getMasterPort and getSlavePort, and returns a port reference rather than a pointer as NULL would never be a valid return value. The default implementation of these two functions is placed in MemObject, and calls fatal. The one drawback with this specific patch is that it requires some code duplication, e.g. QueuedPort becomes QueuedMasterPort and QueuedSlavePort, and BusPort becomes BusMasterPort and BusSlavePort (avoiding multiple inheritance). With the later introduction of the port interfaces, moving the functionality outside the port itself, a lot of the duplicated code will disappear again. diff 8851:7e966326ef5b Fri Feb 24 11:43:00 EST 2012 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com> MEM: Move port creation to the memory object(s) construction This patch moves all port creation from the getPort method to be consistently done in the MemObject's constructor.

However, objects not visible to the Python code (i.e., objects not deriving from SimObject) still depend on their parents informing them when to drain. This patch also gets rid of the CountedDrainEvent (which isn't really an event) and replaces it with a DrainManager. diff 9294:8fb03b13de02 Mon Oct 15 08:12:00 EDT 2012 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com> Port: Add protocol-agnostic ports in the port hierarchy This patch adds an additional level of ports in the inheritance hierarchy, separating out the protocol-specific and protocl-agnostic parts. All the functionality related to the binding of ports is now confined to use BaseMaster/BaseSlavePorts, and all the protocol-specific parts stay in the Master/SlavePort. In the future it will be possible to add other protocol-specific implementations. The functions used in the binding of ports, i.e. getMaster/SlavePort now use the base classes, and the index parameter is updated to use the PortID typedef with the symbolic InvalidPortID as the default. diff 9270:92aad0e984ff Tue Oct 02 15:35:00 EDT 2012 Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu> ruby: move functional access to ruby system This patch moves the code for functional accesses to ruby system. This is because the subsequent patches add support for making functional accesses to the messages in the interconnect. Making those accesses from the ruby port would be cumbersome. diff 9245:e215ee9db617 Sun Sep 23 14:57:00 EDT 2012 Joel Hestness <hestness@cs.wisc.edu> RubyPort and Sequencer: Fix draining Fix the drain functionality of the RubyPort to only call drain on child ports during a system-wide drain process, instead of calling each time that a ruby_hit_callback is executed. This fixes the issue of the RubyPort ports being reawakened during the drain simulation, possibly with work they didn't previously have to complete. If they have new work, they may call process on the drain event that they had not registered work for, causing an assertion failure when completing the drain event. Also, in RubyPort, set the drainEvent to NULL when there are no events to be drained. If not set to NULL, the drain loop can result in stale drainEvents used. diff 9208:2451e60d4555 Tue Sep 11 10:23:00 EDT 2012 Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu> Ruby: Use uint8_t instead of uint8 everywhere diff 9206:f6483789d23a Mon Sep 10 01:21:00 EDT 2012 Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu> Ruby System: Convert to Clocked Object This patch moves Ruby System from being a SimObject to recently introduced ClockedObject. diff 9171:ae88ecf37145 Mon Aug 27 02:00:00 EDT 2012 Nilay Vaish <nilay@cs.wisc.edu> Ruby: Remove RubyEventQueue This patch removes RubyEventQueue. Consumer objects now rely on RubySystem or themselves for scheduling events. diff 9163:3b5e13ac1940 Wed Aug 22 11:39:00 EDT 2012 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com> Port: Extend the QueuedPort interface and use where appropriate This patch extends the queued port interfaces with methods for scheduling the transmission of a timing request/response. The methods are named similar to the corresponding sendTiming(Snoop)Req/Resp, replacing the "send" with "sched". As the queues are currently unbounded, the methods always succeed and hence do not return a value. This functionality was previously provided in the subclasses by calling PacketQueue::schedSendTiming with the appropriate parameters. With this change, there is no need to introduce these extra methods in the subclasses, and the use of the queued interface is more uniform and explicit. diff 9152:86c0e6ca5e7c Wed Aug 15 10:38:00 EDT 2012 Anthony Gutierrez <atgutier@umich.edu> O3,ARM: fix some problems with drain/switchout functionality and add Drain DPRINTFs This patch fixes some problems with the drain/switchout functionality for the O3 cpu and for the ARM ISA and adds some useful debug print statements. This is an incremental fix as there are still a few bugs/mem leaks with the switchout code. Particularly when switching from an O3CPU to a TimingSimpleCPU. However, when switching from O3 to O3 cores with the ARM ISA I haven't encountered any more assertion failures; now the kernel will typically panic inside of simulation. diff 9090:e4e22240398f Mon Jul 09 00:35:00 EDT 2012 Andreas Hansson <andreas.hansson@arm.com> Port: Make getAddrRanges const This patch makes getAddrRanges const throughout the code base. There is no reason why it should not be, and making it const prevents adding any unintentional side-effects. |

In doing so it changes the obvious Range<Addr> to AddrRange, and also bumps the range_map to be AddrRangeMap. In addition to the obvious changes, including the removal of redundant includes, this patch also does some house keeping in preparing for the introduction of address interleaving support in the ranges. The Range class is also stripped of all the functionality that is never used. |

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. |

The base class had a non-virtual serialize and unserialize, that was hidden by a function with the same name for a number of subclasses (most likely not intentional as the base class should have been virtual). A few of the derived systems had no specialization at all (e.g. Power and x86 that simply called the System::serialize), but MIPS and Alpha adds additional symbol table entries to the checkpoint. Instead of overriding the virtual function, the additional entries are now printed through a virtual function (un)serializeSymtab. The reason for not calling System::serialize from the two related systems is that a follow up patch will require the system to also serialize the PhysicalMemory, and if this is done in the base class if ends up being between the general parts and the specialized symbol table. With this patch, the checkpoint is not modified, as the order of the segments is unchanged. |
