The only difference was whether the the atomic op functor was accepted
as an argument. If it wasn't, setVirt would be called without an op
functor argument where it will default to nullptr.
This change deletes the constructor which doesn't take an atomic op
functor and in the other defaults the functor to nullptr. Functionally
nothing changes, but the code is now simpler.

The new local access mechanism installs a callback in the request which
implements what the mmapped IPR was doing. That avoids having to have
stubs in ISAs that don't have mmapped IPRs, avoids having to encode
what to do to communicate from the TLB and the mmapped IPR functions,
and gets rid of another global ISA interface function and header files.

This change is based on modify the way we move the AtomicOpFunctor*
through gem5 in order to mantain proper ownership of the object and
ensuring its destruction when it is no longer used.
Doing that we fix at the same time a memory leak in Request.hh
where we were assigning a new AtomicOpFunctor* without destroying the
previous one.
This change creates a new type AtomicOpFunctor_ptr as a
std::unique_ptr<AtomicOpFunctor> and move its ownership as needed. Except
for its only usage when AtomicOpFunc() is called.

This changeset adds support for partial (or masked) loads/stores, i.e.
loads/stores that can disable accesses to individual bytes within the
target address range. In addition, this changeset extends the code to
crack memory accesses across most CPU models (TimingSimpleCPU still
TBD), so that arbitrarily wide memory accesses are supported. These
changes are required for supporting ISAs with wide vectors.

This patch adds StreamID and SubstreamID to Request. These fields can
be used by a SMMU/IOMMU model to pick up the correct translation
context for each request and they correspond to an ASID in a device.
For this reason they have been merged together with the request asid
in a union, so that a cpu will set the asid and a device will set
the Stream and Substream ID.

AtomicOpFunctor can be used to implement atomic memory operations.
AtomicOpFunctor is captured inside a memory request and executed directly
in the memory hierarchy in a single step.
This patch enables AtomicOpFunctor pointers to be included in a memory
request and executed in a single step in the classic cache system.
This patch also makes the copy constructor of Request class do a deep
copy of AtomicOpFunctor object. This prevents a copy of a Request object
from accessing a deleted AtomicOpFunctor object.

maintenance operations.
1) A cache clean operation writes dirty data in the first memory below
the specified xbar and updates any old copies in the memories above
it.
2) A cache invalidate operation invalidates all copies of the
specified block in the memories above the specified xbar
3) A clean and invalidate operation is a combination of the two

Previously, WriteClean packets would always write to the first memory
below unless the memory was unable to allocate in which case it would
be forwarded further below.
This change adds support for specifying the destination of a
WriteClean packet. The cache annotates the request with the specified
destination and marks the packet as write-through upon its
creation. The coherent xbar checks packets for their destination and
resets the write-through flag when necessary e.g., the coherent xbar
that is set as the PoC will reset the write-through flag for packets
to the PoC.

In general, the ThreadID parameter is unnecessary in the memory system
as the ContextID is what is used for the purposes of locks/wakeups.
Since we allocate sequential ContextIDs for each thread on MT-enabled
CPUs, ThreadID is unnecessary as the CPUs can identify the requesting
thread through sideband info (SenderState / LSQ entries) or ContextID
offset from the base ContextID for a cpu.

mem: support for gpu-style RMWs in ruby
This patch adds support for GPU-style read-modify-write (RMW) operations in
ruby. Such atomic operations are traditionally executed at the memory controller
(instead of through an L1 cache using cache-line locking).
Currently, this patch works by propogating operation functors through the memory
system.
This patch adds support to optionally capture the virtual address and asid
for load/store instructions in the elastic traces. If they are present in
the traces, Trace CPU will set those fields of the request during replay.
Cleaning up dead code. The CLREX stores zero directly to
MISCREG_LOCKFLAG and so the request flag is no longer needed. The
corresponding functionality in the cache tags is also removed.
This patch removes the extraneous flags and attributes from the
request and packet, and simply leaves the new commands. The change
introduced when adding acquire/release breaks all compatibility with
existing traces, and there is really no need for any new flags and
attributes. The commands should be sufficient.
This patch fixes packet tracing (urgent), and also removes the
unnecessary complexity.
This patch fixes an issue which is very wide spread in the codebase,
causing sporadic linking failures. The issue is that we declare static
const class variables in the header, without any definition (as part
of a source file). In most cases the compiler propagates the value and
we have no issues. However, especially for less optimising builds such
as debug, we get sporadic linking failures due to undefined
references.
This patch fixes the Request class, by turning the static const flags
and master IDs into C++11 typed enums.
The Request::UNCACHEABLE flag currently has two different
functions. The first, and obvious, function is to prevent the memory
system from caching data in the request. The second function is to
prevent reordering and speculation in CPU models.
This changeset gives the order/speculation requirement a separate flag
(Request::STRICT_ORDER). This flag prevents CPU models from doing the
following optimizations:
* Speculation: CPU models are not allowed to issue speculative
loads.
* Write combining: CPU models and caches are not allowed to merge
writes to the same cache line.
Note: The memory system may still reorder accesses unless the
UNCACHEABLE flag is set. It is therefore expected that the
STRICT_ORDER flag is combined with the UNCACHEABLE flag to prevent
this behavior.
This patch tidies up how we create and set the fields of a Request. In
essence it tries to use the constructor where possible (as opposed to
setPhys and setVirt), thus avoiding spreading the information across a
number of locations. In fact, setPhys is made private as part of this
patch, and a number of places where we callede setVirt instead uses
the appropriate constructor.
This patch tidies up the Request class, making all getters const. The
odd one out is incAccessDepth which is called by the memory system as
packets carry the request around. This is also const to enable the
packet to hold on to a const Request.
Static analysis unearther a bunch of uninitialised variables and
members, and this patch addresses the problem. In all cases these
omissions seem benign in the end, but at least fixing them means less
false positives next time round.
This patch extends the classic prefetcher to work on non-block aligned
addresses. Because the existing prefetchers in gem5 mask off the lower
address bits of cache accesses, many predictable strides fail to be
detected. For example, if a load were to stride by 48 bytes, with 64 byte
cachelines, the current stride based prefetcher would see an access pattern
of 0, 64, 64, 128, 192.... Thus not detecting a constant stride pattern. This
patch fixes this, by training the prefetcher on access and not masking off the
lower address bits.
It also adds the following configuration options:
1) Training/prefetching only on cache misses,
2) Training/prefetching only on data acceses,
3) Optionally tagging prefetches with a PC address.
#3 allows prefetchers to train off of prefetch requests in systems with
multiple cache levels and PC-based prefetchers present at multiple levels.
It also effectively allows a pipelining of prefetch requests (like in POWER4)
across multiple levels of cache hierarchy.
Improves performance on my gem5 configuration by 4.3% for SPECINT and 4.7% for SPECFP (geomean).
