This PR improves the vector register groups overlap check in
widening/narrowing
instructions.
- Fix wrong illegal overlap condition between VS2 and VD vector register
groups.
- Also check VS1 vector register group for overlap with VD in
vector-vector
instructions.
- Parametrize widening/narrowing factors in overlap check function to
potentially
handle more cases.
Fixes issue #442.
This commit moves the requires() call that checks the cache coherence
protocol above the imports. This change was made for the chi private l1,
ruby mesi three level, mesi two level, and mi example cache hierarchies.
This ensures that a clear error message about having the wrong coherence
protocol is printed, rather than a less useful message.

TimingExpression enables runtime calculation of the commit latency in
MinorCPU. For this, machInst is obtained by getEMI() to match it with a
given instruction. At default, getEMI() always returns 0 and is
therefore overwritten to enable timing expressions for RISC-V. This was
already done for ARM (see src/arch/arm/insts/static_inst.hh).

As of now, the widening/narrowing vector register groups overlap check
always assumes a SEW multiplication factor equal to 2 (for either VD or
VS2). This commits aims at making this check more generic.

This commit fixes the overlap check between VS2 and VD register groups
in vector widening instructions. While the narrowing instructions check
is correct, the widening one has to differentiate between two cases
(Vs2 EEW = 2*SEW and Vs2 EEW = SEW). In the first case, overlap is
allowed, as the EEW is the same as Vd. In the second case, the overlap
legality check has to be adapted to use the Vs2 EMUL to calculate the
boundaries. The rule has been derived again from Section 5.2 of RISC-V
"V" Vector Extension specifications, version 1.0.
The patch also includes some small code refactoring, e.g. using
already defined vlmul and constants for vector operands.
Fixes issue #442.

Vector reduce float (widening and non-widening) and integer (widening)
instructions initialize the reduce loop operation with the first element
of the destination register (i.e. `Vd[0]`).
Since all reductions per spec seem to be `Vd[0] = Vs1[0] + Vs2[*]`
(where `+` is an arbitrary binary op and `*` indicates all active
elements) gem5 will calculate this incorrectly if `Vd[0]` and/or
`Vs1[0]` are non-neutral for the operation (the later case being because
it's not taken into account at all).
To solve this we just have to initialize the reduction loop to `Vs1[0]`
(the non-widening integer reduction already does this).
If the threacContext of CPU enters the suspend mode, raise the threadID
of threadContext cpu_idle_pins with the high signal to target. If the
threadContext of CPU enters the activate mode, lower the threadID of
thread cpu_idle_pins with low signal to target.
The gem5 crashed when user try to update register value from GDB because
PR[1] changes the index of CSR_XSTATUS to MISCREG_XSTATUS, which is out
of NUM_PHYS_MISCREGS.
The CSR_XSTATUS should use setRegWithMask to update it.

These two commits add agnostic capability for both tail/mask policies,
for vector memory and arithmetic instructions respectively. The common
policy for instructions is to act as undisturbed if one is (i.e. tail or
mask), or write all 1s if none.
For those instructions in which multiple micro instructions are
instantiated to write to the same register (`VlStride` and `VlIndex` for
memory, and `VectorGather`, `VectorSlideUp` and `VectorSlideDown` for
arithmetic), a (new) micro instruction named `VPinVdCpyVsMicroInst` has
been used to pin the destination register so that there's no need to
copy the partial results between them. This idea is similar to what's on
ARM's SVE code. This micro also implements the tail/mask policy for this
cases.
Finally, it's worth noting that while now using an agnostic policy for
both tail/mask should remove all dependencies with old destination
registers, there's an exception with `VectorSlideUp`. The
`vslideup_{vx,vi}` instructions need the elements in the offset to be
unchanged. The current implementation overrides the current vta/vma and
makes them act as undisturbed, since they require the old destination
register anyways. There's a minor issue with this though, as
`v{,f}slide1up` variants do not need this, but since they share the same
constructor, will act all the same.
Related issue #997.
1. Responder (downstream components):
When sending a BEGIN_REQ, the timing annotation marks the time when
a transaction is visible to the target (see [1] on page 465).
When writing the data, the downstream component calculates the
transfer time and would send END_REQ after this time (see [1] on
page 540). Therefore, not the payloadDelay, but the headerDelay
should be used, as already written as a comment in the source files.
When reading data, payloadDelay will be 0 anyway.
2. Requester (upstream component):
For data read, the begin of the transfer is marked by BEGIN_RESP
and the upstream component would delay END_RESP to model the
data transfer (see [1] on page 540). Therefore, BEGIN_RESP should be
delayed by the headerDelay, not the payloadDelay.

This change adds a new utility function for processing Spatter traces

Additionally, it adds documentation for all the utility functions in
spatter_kernel.py.
Lastly, it adds an example script for running one spatter trace using
SpatterGenerator to the examples.
This change extend the AbstractMemory class to add a getter method that
allows other components to get the memory's range without interleaving.
This method will be useful if other components in the system need to
interleave the memory range different to the way the memory has
interleaved them.

Previously, all of the TLB lookup/insert functions were using the full
virtual addresses even though the variables in the functions said "vpn."
This change explicitly converts the virtual address to the VPN without
any least significant zeros for the offset. I.e., vpn >> page_size.
The main bug solved in this changeset is the asid was |'d with the upper
bits of the virtual address, but sometimes there were all 1's.
Therefore, you could get a TLB hit even if the ASID was different.
Interestingly, the page that seemed to cause these issues was a 1 GiB
page.
This change also starts refactoring some of the page table details to
support sv46 and sv57 page table formats.
In my testing, the Linux kernel boot uses large pages (even OpenSBI uses
large pages), so it seems that large pages also work. However, this
seems like magic to me, so I'm not sure if it's correct.
This change also updates some asserts, and debug statements with more
useful debugging information.
Partially fixes#1235. More testing needs to be done to be confident.
Introduced in #1234, this caused compilation to faill in Apple Silicon
systems. This bug is the same as #582 where a more detailed explanation
is provided.
This change fixes the way indices are generated in a multi generator
setup.
It changes it from all cores generating the same trace of indices for
accessing the index array to each core generating an interleaved subset
of indices.
For an example look below for traces (indices to index array) in a 2
core setup.
Before:
core_0: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, ...
core_1: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, ...
After:
core_0: 0, 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, 11, ...
core_1: 4, 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 15, ...
Additionally, this change fixes the SpatterKernel class in the standard
library to comply with the change in the SpatterGen source code.
I noticed while using the stable branch that there were a few typos of
the word 'cache' and so I've corrected a few files where I found such
typos.

Often, you want to add another argument to the default kernel arguments.
This function allows you to do that on the `kernel_disk_workload` board
mixin.
This allows for multiple gem5 simulations to be spawned from a single
parent gem5 process, as defined in a simgle gem5 configuration. In this
design _all_ the `Simulator`s are defined in the simulation script and
then added to the mutlisim module. For example:
```py
from gem5.simulate.Simulator import Simulator
import gem5.utils.multisim as multisim
# Construct the board[0] and board[1] as you wish here...
simulator1 = Simulator(board=board[0], id="board-1")
simulator2 = Simulator(board=board[1], id="board-2")
multisim.add_simulator(simulator1)
multisim.add_simulator(simulator2)
```
This specifies that two simulations are to be run in parallel in
seperate threads: one specified by `simulator1` and another by
`simulator2`. They are then added to MultiSim via the
`multisim.add_simulator` function. The user can specify an id via the
Simulator constructor. This is used to give each process a unique id and
output directory name. Given this, the id should be a helpful name
describing the simulation being specified. If not specified one is
automatically given.
To run these simulators we use `<gem5 binary> -m gem5.utils.multisim
<script> -p <num_processes>`. Note: multisim is an executable module in
gem5. This is the same module we input into our scripts to add the
simulators. This is an intentionally modular encapsulated design. When
the module processes a script it will schedule multiple gem5 jobs and,
dependent on the number of processes specified, will create child gem5
processes to processes tjese jobs (jobs are just gem5 simulations in
this case). The `--processes` (`-p`) argument is optional and if not
specified the max number of processes which can be run concurrently will
be the number of available threads on the host system.
The id for each process is used to create a subdirectory inside the
`outputdor` (`m5out`) of that id name. E.g, in the example above the
ID's are `board-1` and `board-2`. Therefore the m5 out directory will
look as follows:
```sh
- m5out
- board-1
- stats.txt
- config.ini
- config.json
- terminal.out
- board-2
- stats.txt
- config.ini
- config.json
- terminal.out
```
Each simulations output is encapsulated inside the subdirectory of the
id name.
If the multisim configuation script is passed directly to gem5 (like a
traditional gem5 configuraiton script, i.e.: `<gem5 binary> <script>`),
the user may run a single simulation specified in that script by passing
its id as an argument. E.g. `<gem5 binary> <script> board-1` will run
the `board-1` simulation specified in `script`. If no argument is passed
an Exception is raised asking the user to either specify or use the
MultiSim module if multiprocessing is needed.
If the user desires a list of ids of the simulations specified in a
given MultiSim script, they can do so by passing the `--list` (`-l`)
parameter to the config script. I.e., `<gem5 binary> <script> --list`
will list all the IDs for all the simulations specified in`script`.
This change comes with two new example scripts found in
'configs/example/gem5_library/multsim" to demonstrate multisim in both
an SE and FS mode simulation. Tests have been added which run these
scripts as part of gem5' Daily suite of tests.
Notes
=====
* **Bug fixed**: The `NoCache` classic cache hierarchy has been modified
so the Xbar is no longet set with a `__func__` call. This interfered
with MultiProcessing as this structure is not serializable via Pickle.
This was quite bad design anyway so should be changed
* **Change**: `readfile_contents` parameter previously wrote its value
to a file called "readfile" in the output dorectory. This has been
changed to write to a file called "readfile_{hash}" with "{hash}" being
a hash of the `readfile_contents`. This ensures that, during multisim
running, this file is not overwritten by other processes.
* **Removal note**: This implementation supercedes the functionality
outlined in 'src/python/gem5/utils/multiprocessing'. As such, this code
has been removed.
Limitations/Things to Fix/Improve
=================================
* Though each Simulator process has its own output directory (a
subdirectory within m5out, with an ID set by the user unique to that
Simulator), the stdout and stderr are still output to the terminal, not
the output directory. This results in: 1. stdout and stderr data lost
and not recorded for these runs. 2. An incredibly noisy terminal output.
* Each process uses the same cached resources. While there are locks on
resources when downloading, each processes will hash the resources they
require to ensure they are valid. This is very inefficient in cases
where resources are common between processes (e.g., you may have 10
processes each using the same disk image with each processes hashing the
disk images independently to give the same result to validate the
resources).
