There were two small bugs preventing gem5 from obtaining Looppoint
resources.
1. When obtained via a `WorkloadResource` there was an assert which
assumed the values in the resource's DB entry's `additional_parameter`
field were of type string. This is not the case. For Looppoint resources
there are additional parameters which are arrays.
2. Due to changes introduced in https://github.com/gem5/gem5/pull/625,
the Looppoint CSV and JSON files were not being downloaded when needed.
This was fixed by replacing access to the `local_path` variable with a
call to `get_local_path()`.
Because each vector load is fragmented into 64 byte cache-aligned
chunks, and one page-table walk is issued per fragment on tlb miss,
walks start to accumulate on a pending queue, which is processed in a
blocking way (no pending walks can be issued while one is being
processed). This adds noticeable latency on vector loads when VLEN is
sufficiently large.
This commit fixes the issue by allowing walks to be squashed if a TLB
lookup hits just before starting the walk on `startWalkWrapper`. This
idea was taken from the ARM walker.
Due to a change introduced in https://github.com/gem5/gem5/pull/625, a
gem5 resource will not download any external files until
`get_local_path()` is called. In the construction of the Looppoint
Resources this function was not called, the `local_path` variable was
called directly. As such, an error occured.
The downside of this fix is the Looppoint resources external files are
downloaded when `obtain_resource` is called, thus the bandwidth savings
introduced with https://github.com/gem5/gem5/pull/625 will not occur for
Looppoint resources. However, https://github.com/gem5/gem5/issues/644
proposes a fix which would supercede the
https://github.com/gem5/gem5/pull/625 solution.

The value of a `WorkloadResource`'s additional parameter may not always
be a string. It can be any JSON value (integer, a list, a dict, ect.).
For Looppoint resources we have additional parameters such as a List of
region start points.
The assert inside workloads checking the type of the value breaks
certain usecase and is therefore removed in this commit.

The stats initialization in the AbstractMemory allocates the space
according to the max requestors of the System. This may cause issues in
multiple system simulation.
Given there are two system A and B. A has one requestor and a memory,
while B has two requestors. When the requestor with requestor id 2
sending requests to the meomry in A, the simulator would crash because
requestor id 2 is out of the allocated space.
Current solution is adding a SysBridge between across A and B which
would rewrite the requestor id to a valid one. This solution works but
it needs to the bridge at the correct boundary which may not easy. In
addition, the stats would record a mapped data which may not accurate.
To reduce the complexity, we add an flag to AbstractMemory to control
the stats. If users don't want the statistics and want to solve the
cross system issue simply, users can disable the statistics collection.
We also makes the flag by default True to not disturb current users.

`.as<uint64_t>()[i]` is not match the `assignRE`.

Inspired by the similar feature in ARM's full system workload, this
change adds
an option to halt gem5 simulation if the guest system encounter kernel
panic
or kernel oops.
On RiscvISA::BootloaderKernelWorkload, by default, the simulation
will exit upon kernel panic, while kernel oops will not induce
simulation halt.
This is because the system will essentially do nop after a kernel panic,
while the
system might be still functional after a kernel oops.
Dumping kernel's dmesg is useful for diagonizing the cause of kernel
panic, so
ideally, we want to dump the guest's dmesg to the host. However, due to
a bug
described in [1], kernel v5.18+ dmesg might not be dumped properly.
Hence, the
dmesg will not be dumped to the host.
On RiscvISA::FsLinux, this feature is turned off by default as the
symbols from the
official RISC-V kernel resource are stripped from the binary. However,
if this feature
is enable, the dmesg will be dumped to the host system.

`get_runtime_isa()` has been deprecated for some time. It is a leftover
piece of code from when gem5 was compiled to a single ISA and that ISA
used to configure the simulated system to use that ISA. Since multi-ISA
compilations are possible, `get_runtime_isa()` should not be used.
Unless the gem5 binary is compiled to a single ISA, a failure will
occur.
The new proceedure for specify which ISA to use is by the setting of the
correct `BaseCPU` implementation. E.g., `X86SimpleTimingCPU` of
`ArmO3CPU`.
This patch removes the remaining `get_runtime_isa()` instances and
removes the function itself. The `SimpleCore` class has been updated to
allow for it's CPU factory to return a class, needed by scripts in
"configs/common".
The deprecated functionality in the standard library, which allowed for
the specifying of an ISA when setting up a processor and/or core has
also been removed. Setting an ISA is now manditory.
Fixes#216.
The [PR](https://github.com/gem5/gem5/pull/390) adds support for new
bootloader and linux kernel. However after applying the changes the
arguments are not passed correctly to the kernel resulting in kernel
panic during simulations. This commit fixes the issue.
clang correctly found that the functions `inCache`, `hasBeenPrefetched`
and `inMissQueue` had the wrong signatures in the DVM funcs files. These
functions are unused, so this change just updates their signatures.

Currently, if the Capstone header file is found in the host system,
scons will try to build the ArmCapstoneDisassembler regardless of the
gem5 target ISA. This is causing problem when the host has Capstone, but
the gem5 target ISA is not arm. Compiling gem5 in this case will cause
errors, e.g., ArmISA and ArmSystem is not found.
This change aims to prevent building the ArmCapstoneDisassembler when
the gem5 target ISA is not arm.

This Pull-Request addresses gem5 Issue #550. The code that dumps the
Dmesg buffer is now templated on the two variants of the `Metadata`
structure, and the correct one is chosen based on the detected Kernel
version.
To support this functionality, the pull request also adds Symbol Size
data to the loader Symbol Table, and adds a method to query the Kernel
Version from the image in guest memory. The new attributes in the Symbol
class are de-serialized speculatively, so no checkpoint upgrader is
required to support this change.
This patch reworks the Linux Kernel panic and oops events. The code has
been re-factored to provide re-usable events that can be applied to all
ISAs from the base `KernelWorkload` `SimObject`. At the moment they are
installed for the Arm workloads.
This update also provides more configuration options that can be
specified using the new `KernelPanicOopsBehaviour` enum. The options are
applied to the Kernel Workload parameters `on_panic` and `on_oops` which
are available to all subclasses of `KernelWorkload`.
The main rationale for this reworking is to add the option to cleanly
exit the simulation after dumping the Dmesg buffer. Without this option,
the simulation would continue running after a Kernel panic. If system
components (e.g. a system timer) keep the event queue alive, this causes
the simulation to run slowly to the maximum allowed tick.
The website's documentation on building gem5 now references
<gem5_base>/gem5_build in addition to <gem5_base>/build. So, we should
ignore files in that directory as well as the build directory.

This change decouple's the downloading of a resource from it's data.
With this change the `obtain_resource` function returns the
`AbstractResource` implementation which contains the data. The resource
itself (e.g., the actual disk image, binary, file, etc.) is only
downloaded to the host system, if not already present, upon the
`get_local_path` call.
`get_local_path` is the function used by gem5 to ultimately load the
resource into a simulation, therefore this change ensures we only
download resources when they are loaded into a simulation.
This change is not ideal and comes with the following caveats:
1. The `downloader` function is created in `obtain_workload` and passed
to the `AbstractResource` implementation for later use. This function
comes with the following requirements:
* The function will download the resource to `local_path`.
* The function will not re-download the resources if already present
as this function is called _everytime_ `get_local_path` is called.
2. The directories needed to store `local_path` are created in
`obtain_workload` regardless. Ergo even if the resource is not used and
`get_local_path` is never called these directories are still created.
In keeping with this efficiency `ShadowResource` is introduced to allow
the storing of just the resource ID and Version of a resource with
additional information only obtained when requested.
This change does the following,
- Change the name of several python parameter names of the
RiscvBootloaderKernelWorkload. This is done to conform the expectation
from the stdlib, e.g., the kernel path must be `object_file`, and the
boot parameter must be `command_line`.
- Use RiscvBootloaderKernelWorkload by default for all full system
RISC-V simulations. RiscvBootloaderKernelWorkload is a superset of
RiscvFsWorkload.
In handleBeginReq, a timing request is sent. If the receiver rejects the
request, the bridge will save the pointers of the original transaction
object and the generated gem5 packet. After a recvReqRetry-signal and a
successful timing request, the variable for transaction object pointer,
but not for the gem5 packet, is set to nullptr. When a new transaction
with the phase BEGIN_REQ arrives, the assertion in handleBeginReq that
there is no pending gem5 packet fails.
Therefore, the variable pendingPacket has to be set to nullptr in
recvReqRetry after a successful timing request too.
