Previously, ThreadStateStats uses ThreadState::threadId() to
determine the name of the stats. However, in the ThreadState
constructor, ThreadStateStats is initialized before ThreadState
is intialized. As a result, the name of ThreadStateStats has
a wrong ThreadID.
This commit uses ThreadID instead of ThreadState to determine
the name of the stats.
This causes a name collision between ThreadStateStats and
ExecContextStats as both have the name of "thread_[tid]".
Ideally, those stats should be merged to the BaseSimpleCPU.
However, both ThreadStateStats and ExecContextStats have
a stat named numInsts. So, for now, ExecContextStats will
have a name of "exec_context.thread_[tid]", while ThreadStateStats
keeps its name.

This parameter is associated with a periodic event which would take a
sample for a kernel profile in FS mode. Unfortunately the only ISA which
had working versions of the necessary classes was alpha, and that has
been deleted. That means that without additional work for any given ISA,
the profile parameter has no chance of working.
Ideally, this parameter should be moved to the Workload classes. There
it can intrinsically be tied to a particular kernel, rather than having
to assume a particular kernel and gate everything on whether you're in
FS mode.
Because this isn't (IMHO) where this parameter should live in the long
term, and because it's currently unusable without additional development
for each of the ISAs, I think it makes the most sense to remove the
front end for this mechanism from the CPU.
Since the sampling/profiling mechanism itself could be useful and could
be re-plumbed somewhere else, the back end and its classes are left alone.

The only functional difference between them was that the SE one might
have optionally fixed up missing translations for demand paging.
This lets us get rid of some code recreating the proxy ports in
setProcessPtr since the SE translating port no longer keeps a copy of
the process object pointer.

Then cast to the ISA specific type when necessary. This removes
(mostly) an ISA specific aspect to some of the interfaces. The ISA
specific version of the kernel stats still needs to be constructed and
stored in a few places which means that kernel_stats.hh still needs to
be a switching arch header, for instance.
In the future, I'd like to make the kernel its own object like the
Process objects in SE mode, and then it would be able to instantiate
and maintain its own stats.

MemObject doesn't provide anything beyond its base ClockedObject any
more, so this change removes it from most inheritance hierarchies.
Occasionally MemObject is replaced with SimObject when I was fairly
confident that the extra functionality of ClockedObject wasn't needed.

Modifies the clone system call and adds execve system call. Requires allowing
processes to steal thread contexts from other processes in the same system
object and the ability to detach pieces of process state (such as MemState)
to allow dynamic sharing.
This patch moves away from using M5_ATTR_OVERRIDE and the m5::hashmap
(and similar) abstractions, as these are no longer needed with gcc 4.7
and clang 3.1 as minimum compiler versions.
Objects that are can be serialized are supposed to inherit from the
Serializable class. This class is meant to provide a unified API for
such objects. However, so far it has mainly been used by SimObjects
due to some fundamental design limitations. This changeset redesigns
to the serialization interface to make it more generic and hide the
underlying checkpoint storage. Specifically:
* Add a set of APIs to serialize into a subsection of the current
object. Previously, objects that needed this functionality would
use ad-hoc solutions using nameOut() and section name
generation. In the new world, an object that implements the
interface has the methods serializeSection() and
unserializeSection() that serialize into a named /subsection/ of
the current object. Calling serialize() serializes an object into
the current section.
* Move the name() method from Serializable to SimObject as it is no
longer needed for serialization. The fully qualified section name
is generated by the main serialization code on the fly as objects
serialize sub-objects.
* Add a scoped ScopedCheckpointSection helper class. Some objects
need to serialize data structures, that are not deriving from
Serializable, into subsections. Previously, this was done using
nameOut() and manual section name generation. To simplify this,
this changeset introduces a ScopedCheckpointSection() helper
class. When this class is instantiated, it adds a new /subsection/
and subsequent serialization calls during the lifetime of this
helper class happen inside this section (or a subsection in case
of nested sections).
* The serialize() call is now const which prevents accidental state
manipulation during serialization. Objects that rely on modifying
state can use the serializeOld() call instead. The default
implementation simply calls serialize(). Note: The old-style calls
need to be explicitly called using the
serializeOld()/serializeSectionOld() style APIs. These are used by
default when serializing SimObjects.
* Both the input and output checkpoints now use their own named
types. This hides underlying checkpoint implementation from
objects that need checkpointing and makes it easier to change the
underlying checkpoint storage code.
Allow the specification of a socket ID for every core that is reflected in the
MPIDR field in ARM systems. This allows studying multi-socket / cluster
systems with ARM CPUs.
This patch unifies where initMemProxies is called, in the init()
method of each BaseCPU subclass, before TheISA::initCPU is
called. Moreover, it also ensures that initMemProxies is called in
both full-system and syscall-emulation mode, thus unifying also across
the modes. An additional check is added in the ThreadState to ensure
that initMemProxies is only called once.
This patch cleans up a number of minor issues aiming to get closer to
compliance with the C++0x standard as interpreted by gcc and clang
(compile with std=c++0x and -pedantic-errors). In particular, the
patch cleans up enums where the last item was succeded by a comma,
namespaces closed by a curcly brace followed by a semi-colon, and the
use of the GNU-extension typeof (replaced by templated functions). It
does not address variable-length arrays, zero-size arrays, anonymous
structs, range expressions in switch statements, and the use of long
long. The generated CPU code also has a large number of issues that
remain to be fixed, mainly related to overflows in implicit constant
conversion (due to shifts).
This patch is adding a clearer design intent to all objects that would
not be complete without a port proxy by making the proxies members
rathen than dynamically allocated. 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.
This patch is a trivial simplification, removing the cpu pointer from
SimpleThread and relying on the baseCpu pointer in ThreadState. The
patch does not add or change any functionality, it merely cleans up
the code.
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

This code is no longer needed because of the preceeding change which adds a
StaticInstPtr parameter to the fault's invoke method, obviating the only use
for this pair of functions.
This provides a common initial status for all threads independent
of CPU model (unlike the prior situation where CPUs initialized
threads to inconsistent states).
This mostly matters for SE mode; in FS mode, ISA-specific startupCPU()
methods generally handle boot-time initialization of thread contexts
(since the right thing to do is ISA-dependent).
the primary identifier for a hardware context should be contextId(). The
concept of threads within a CPU remains, in the form of threadId() because
sometimes you need to know which context within a cpu to manipulate.
across the subclasses. generally make it so that member data is _cpuId and
accessor functions are cpuId(). The ID val comes from the python (default -1 if
none provided), and if it is -1, the index of cpuList will be given. this has

Right now this introduces a minor memory leak as old physPorts and virtPorts are not deleted when new ones are created. A flyspray task has been created for this issue. It can not be resolved until we determine how the bus will handle giving out ID's to functional ports that may be deleted.

Change function from being called at init() to whenever the memory ports need to be connected.
src/cpu/thread_state.cc:
Instead of initializing the ports, simply connect them, deleting any old ports that might exist. This allows these functions to be called multiple times.
