This command is supposed to set up a timer which will put the drive into a
standby mode if it isn't sent a command within a given time out. Since most of
the timeouts are generally significantly longer than a simulation would run
anyway, and we don't have an implementation for standby mode to begin with,
we can accept the command, do nothing, and report success.
This patch cleans up the packet memory allocation confusion. The data
is always allocated at the requesting side, when a packet is created
(or copied), and there is never a need for any device to allocate any
space if it is merely responding to a paket. This behaviour is in line
with how SystemC and TLM works as well, thus increasing
interoperability, and matching established conventions.
The redundant calls to Packet::allocate are removed, and the checks in
the function are tightened up to make sure data is only ever allocated
once. There are still some oddities in the packet copy constructor
where we copy the data pointer if it is static (without ownership),
and allocate new space if the data is dynamic (with ownership). The
latter is being worked on further in a follow-on patch.
There was already a stub device at 0x80, the port traditionally used for an IO
delay. 0x80 is also the port used for POST codes sent by firmware, and that
may have prompted adding this port as a second option.
Another churn to clean up undefined behaviour, mostly ARM, but some
parts also touching the generic part of the code base.
Most of the fixes are simply ensuring that proper intialisation. One
of the more subtle changes is the return type of the sign-extension,
which is changed to uint64_t. This is to avoid shifting negative
values (undefined behaviour) in the ISA code.
This patch reverts changeset 9277177eccff which does not do what it
was intended to do. In essence, we go back to implementing mkutctime
much like the non-standard timegm extension.
This patch changes how we turn time into UTC. Previously we
manipulated the TZ environment variable, but this has issues as the
strings that are manipulated could be tainted (see e.g. CERT
ENV34-C). Now we simply rely on the built-in gmtime function and avoid
touching getenv/setenv all together.
Sysfs on ubuntu scrapes the entire PCI config space
when it discovers a device using 4 byte accesses.
This was not supported by our devices, in particular the NIC
that implemented the extended PCI config space. This change
allows the extended PCI config space to be accessed by
sysfs properly.
This patch transitions the EthPacketData from the ad-hoc
RefCountingPtr to the c++11 shared_ptr. There are no changes in
behaviour, and the code modifications are mainly replacing "new" with
"make_shared".
The bool casting operator for the shared_ptr is explicit, and we must
therefore either cast it, compare it to NULL (p != nullptr), double
negate it (!!p) or do a (p ? true : false).
This patch changes the name of the Bus classes to XBar to better
reflect the actual timing behaviour. The actual instances in the
config scripts are not renamed, and remain as e.g. iobus or membus.
As part of this renaming, the code has also been clean up slightly,
making use of range-based for loops and tidying up some comments. The
only changes outside the bus/crossbar code is due to the delay
variables in the packet.

This patch provides an Energy Controller device that provides software
(driver) access to a DVFS handler. The device is currently residing in
the dev/arm tree, but there is nothing inherently ARM specific in the
behaviour. It is currently only tested and supported for ARM Linux,
hence the location.
This patch adds support for 9p filesystem proxying over VirtIO. It can
currently operate by connecting to a 9p server over a socket
(VirtIO9PSocket) or by starting the diod 9p server and connecting over
pipe (VirtIO9PDiod).
*WARNING*: Checkpoints are currently not supported for systems with 9p
proxies!
This patch adds support for VirtIO over the PCI bus. It does so by
providing the following new SimObjects:
* VirtIODeviceBase - Abstract base class for VirtIO devices.
* PciVirtIO - VirtIO PCI transport interface.
A VirtIO device is hooked up to the guest system by adding a PciVirtIO
device to the PCI bus and connecting it to a VirtIO device using the
vio parameter.
New VirtIO devices should inherit from VirtIODevice base and
implementing one or more VirtQueues. The VirtQueues are usually
device-specific and all derive from the VirtQueue class. Queues must
be registered with the base class from the constructor since the
device assumes that the number of queues stay constant.
The terminal currently assumes that the transport to the guest always
inherits from the Uart class. This assumption breaks when
implementing, for example, a VirtIO consoles. This patch removes this
assumption by adding pointer to the from the terminal to the uart and
replacing it with a more general callback interface. The Uart, or any
other class using the terminal, class implements an instance of the
callbacks class and registers it with the terminal.
This patch does a bit of housekeeping on the string helper functions
and relies on the C++11 standard library where possible. It also does
away with our custom string hash as an implementation is already part
of the standard library.
This patch closes a number of space gaps in debug messages caused by
the incorrect use of line continuation within strings. (There's also
one consistency change to a similar, but correct, use of line
continuation)
The PC platform has a single IO range that is used both legacy IO and PCI IO
while other platforms may use seperate regions. Provide another mechanism to
configure the legacy IO base address range and set it to the PCI IO address
range for x86.
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)
// MMIO (1), at address (2), cpu address (2), size (2)
ranges = <0x01000000 0x0 0x00000000 0x0 0x2f000000 0x0 0x10000>,
<0x02000000 0x0 0x40000000 0x0 0x40000000 0x0 0x10000000>;
// With gem5 we typically use INTA/B/C/D one per device
interrupt-map = <0x0000 0x0 0x0 0x1 0x1 0x0 0x11 0x1
0x0000 0x0 0x0 0x2 0x1 0x0 0x12 0x1
0x0000 0x0 0x0 0x3 0x1 0x0 0x13 0x1
0x0000 0x0 0x0 0x4 0x1 0x0 0x14 0x1>;
// Only match INTA/B/C/D and not BDF
interrupt-map-mask = <0x0000 0x0 0x0 0x7>;
};
The first DPRINTF() in PL390::writeDistributor always read a uint32_t, though a
packet may have only been 1 or 2 bytes. This caused an assertion in
packet->get().
Certain versions of clang complain about unused private members if
they are not used. This changeset removes such members from the
MIPS-specific classes to silence the warning.
Stop setting the use_default_range flag in PioBus in order to
have random bad addresses result in a BadAddress response and
not a gem5 fatal error. This is necessary in Ruby as Ruby is
connected directly to PioBus, so misspeculated addresses will
be sent there directly. For the classic memory system, this
change has no effect, as bad addresses are caught by the
memory bus before being sent to the PioBus.
This work was done while Binh was an intern at AMD Research.
This patch changes the default pixel clock to effectively generate
1080p resolution at 60 frames per second. It is dependent upon the
kernel device tree file using the specified resolution / display
string in the comments.
This is a quick hack to communicate a greater number of CPUs to a guest OS via
the ARM A9 SCU config register. Some OSes (Linux) just look at the bottom field
to count CPUs and with a small change can look at bits [3:0] to learn about up
to 16 CPUs.
Very much unsupported (and contains warning messages as such) but useful for
running 8 core sims without hardwiring CPU count in the guest OS.
The calling thread is undefined when the PollQueue services events.
This implies that PollEvents need to handle the case where they are
processed from a different thread than the thread that created the
event. This changeset adds temporary event queue migrations to the VNC
server, the ethernet tap device, and the terminal to protect them from
inter-thread calls.
This patch enbles use of the basic PIO devices as part of the NULL
build. Although it might seem counter intuitive to have a PIO device
without being able to execute a driver, this change enables us to
break a device class hierarchy into an ISA-agnostic part, and an
ISA-specific part, without requiring multiple-inheritance. The
ISA-agnostic base class is a PIO device, but does not make use of the
port.
Note: AArch64 and AArch32 interworking is not supported. If you use an AArch64
kernel you are restricted to AArch64 user-mode binaries. This will be addressed
in a later patch.
Note: Virtualization is only supported in AArch32 mode. This will also be fixed
in a later patch.

This patch enables tracking of cache occupancy per thread along with
ages (in buckets) per cache blocks. Cache occupancy stats are
recalculated on each stat dump.

This patch adds support for simulating with multiple threads, each of
which operates on an event queue. Each sim object specifies which eventq
is would like to be on. A custom barrier implementation is being added
using which eventqs synchronize.
The patch was tested in two different configurations:
1. ruby_network_test.py: in this simulation L1 cache controllers receive
requests from the cpu. The requests are replied to immediately without
any communication taking place with any other level.
2. twosys-tsunami-simple-atomic: this configuration simulates a client-server
system which are connected by an ethernet link.
We still lack the ability to communicate using message buffers or ports. But
other things like simulation start and end, synchronizing after every quantum
are working.

The VE motherboard provides a set of system control registers through which
various motherboard and coretile registers are accessed. Voltage regulators and
oscillator (DLL/PLL) config are examples. These registers must be impleted to
boot Linux 3.9+ kernels.
Newer linux kernels and distros exercise more functionality in the IDE device
than previously, exposing 2 races. The first race is the handling of aborted
DMA commands would immediately report the device is ready back to the kernel
and cause already in flight commands to assert the simulator when they returned
and discovered an inconsitent device state. The second race was due to the
Status register not being handled correctly, the interrupt status bit would get
stuck at 1 and the driver eventually views this as a bad state and logs the
condition to the terminal. This patch fixes these two conditions by making the
device handle aborted commands gracefully and properly handles clearing the
interrupt status bit in the Status register.
The underlying assumption that all PPIs must be edge-triggered is
strained when the architected timers and VGIC interfaces make
level-behaviour observable. For example, a virtual timer interrupt
'goes away' when the hypervisor is entered and the vtimer is disabled;
this requires a PPI to be de-activated.
The new method simply clears the interrupt pending state.
There is an option to enable/disable all framebuffer dumps, but the
last frame always gets dumped in the run folder with no other way to
disable it. These files can add up very quickly running many experiments.
This patch adds an option to disable them. The default behavior
remains unchanged.
This patch makes it possible to once again build gem5 without any
ISA. The main purpose is to enable work around the interconnect and
memory system without having to build any CPU models or device models.
The regress script is updated to include the NULL ISA target. Currently
no regressions make use of it, but all the testers could (and perhaps
should) transition to it.

This patch is a first step to getting NOISA working again. A number of
redundant includes make life more difficult than it has to be and this
patch simply removes them. There are also some redundant forward
declarations removed.
This patch changes the default parameter value of conf_table_reported
to match the common case. It also simplifies the regression and config
scripts to reflect this change.
This patch removes the notion of a peer block size and instead sets
the cache line size on the system level.
Previously the size was set per cache, and communicated through the
interconnect. There were plenty checks to ensure that everyone had the
same size specified, and these checks are now removed. Another benefit
that is not yet harnessed is that the cache line size is now known at
construction time, rather than after the port binding. Hence, the
block size can be locally stored and does not have to be queried every
time it is used.
A follow-on patch updates the configuration scripts accordingly.
