The TxnId field of a CHI request has so far been unused (other than for
DVM transactions). With this patch we always initialize the field when
we extract a ruby request from the sequencer port.
According to specs (IHI0050F):
A 12-bit field is defined for the TxnID with the number of outstanding
transactions being limited to 1024. A Requester is permitted to reuse a
TxnID value after it has received either:
* All responses associated with a previous transaction that have used
the same value.
* A RetryAck response for a previous transaction that used the same value

Currently the MOESI_AMD_Base-directory transition for system level
atomics sends the response message before the atomic is performed. This
was likely done because atomics are supposed to return the value of the
data *before* the atomic is performed and by simply ordering the actions
this way that was taken care of.
With the new atomic log feature, the atomic values are pulled from the
log by the coalescer on the return path. Therefore, these actions can be
reordered. However, it is now necessary that the atomics be performed
before sending the response so that the log is populated and copied by
the response action. This should fix#253 .

Augmenting the DataBlock class with a change log structure to record the
effects of atomic operations on a data block and service these changes
if the atomic operations require return values.
Although the operations are atomic, the coalescer need not send unique
memory requests for each operation. Atomic operations within a wavefront
to the same address are now coalesced into a single memory request. The
response of this request carries all the necessary information to
provide the requesting lanes unique values as a result of their
individual atomic operations. This helps reduce contention for request
and response queues in simulation.
Previously, only the final value of the datablock after all atomic ops
to the same address was visible to the requesting waves. This change
corrects this behavior by allowing each wave to see the effect of this
individual atomic op is a return value is necessary.
DCT must be disabled when handling a ReadUnique where the copy need to
be upgraded.
Previously we were just asserting as it was assumed DCT is only enabled
for HNFs (which can "auto-upgrade"). However DCT may also be enabled for
intermediated levels of distributed shared caches above the HNFs.
Currently we generate these stats for all defined Events in the
protocol, which may generate too many stats that are never used. Though
these don't appear in the stats.txt file, they unnecessarily increases
simulation startup time and memory footprint.
This patch limits those stats to events with the "in_trans" and/or
"out_trans" properties. SLICC compiler then checks which combinations of
event+state are possible when generating the stats.
Also the possible level of detail for inTransLatHist was reduced.
Only the number of transactions for each event+initial+final state
combinations is now accounted. Latency histograms are only defined per
event type (similarly to outTransLatHist). This significantly reduces
the final file size for generated stats.
Marks which events signal the beginning of incoming and outgoing
transactions for generating inTransLatHist and outTransLatHist stats.

Added a GLC atomic latency parameter (glc-atomic-latency) used when
enqueueing response messages regarding atomics directly performed in
the TCC. This latency is added in addition to the L2 response latency
(TCC_latency). This represents the latency of performing an atomic
within the L2.
With this change, the TCC response queue will receive enqueues with
varying latencies as GLC atomic responses will have this added GLC
atomic latency while data responses will not. To accommodate this in
light of the queue having strict FIFO ordering (which would be violated
here), this change also adds an optional parameter bypassStrictFIFO to
the SLICC enqueue function which allows overriding strict FIFO
requirements for individual messages on a case-by-case basis. This
parameter is only being used in the TCC's atomic response enqueue call.

Added support for performing non-SLC-set atomics in the TCC.
Previously, all atomics were being passed on by the TCC to the

bit is set or if the line isn't present or available in the TCC.
If a non-SLC atomic is passed on to the directory because it is not
present in the TCC, the atomic will be performed on the return path on
the Data event. To accommodate the directory not performing the atomic
in this case, this change also passes the SLC bit on to the directory.
The previously-named "Atomic" action has been renamed to
"AtomicPassOn", with the new "Atomic" corresponding to an atomic
performed directly in the TCC.

While a WI (Waiting on Writethrough Ack) state exists, transitions from
it on WBAck deallocates the TBE, which contains SLC bit information
needed to trigger the Bypass event when the read response from the

Without this change, WB acknowledgements from the directory in read
bypass evicts (with the SLC bit set) were being treated as if they were
read responses, leading to an invalid transition panic.

By default the GPU VIPER coherence protocol uses a WT L2 cache.
However it has support for using WB caches (although this is not
tested currently). When using a WB L2 cache for the GPU, this
results in deadlocks with atomics.
Specifically, when an atomic reaches the L2 and the line is
currently in M or W, the line must be written back before the atomic
can be performed. However, the current support has two issues:
a) it never performs the atomic operation -- while VIPER current
assumes all atomics are system scope atomics and thus cannot be
performed at the L2 and this transition requires the dirty line be
written back before performing the atomic, the transition never
performs the atomic nor does the response path handle it.
b) putting the atomic action right after the write back is not
safe because we need to ensure the requests are ordered when they
reach memory -- thus we have to wait until the write back is
acknowledged before it's safe to send/perform the atomic.
To fix this, this change modifies the transition in question to
put the atomic on the stalled requests buffer, which the WBAck will
check when it returns to the L2 (and thus perform the atomic, which
will result in the atomic being sent on to the directory).
This fix has been tested and verified with both the per-checkin and
nightly GPU Ruby Random tester tests (with a WB L2 cache).

Specifically, when a load reaches the L2 and the line is currently

66d4a158 added support for AMD's GPU cache bypassing flags (GLC
for bypassing L1 caches, SLC for bypassing all caches). However,
for applications that use the GLC flag but intermix GLC- and
non-GLC accesses to the same address, this previous commit
has a bug. This bug manifests when the address is currently
valid in the L1 (TCP). In this case, the previous commit chose
to evict the line before letting the bypassing access to proceed.
However, to do this the previous commit was using the inv_invDone
action as part of the process of evicting it. This action is only
intended to be called when load acquires are being performed
(i.e., when the entire L1 cache is being flash invalidated). Thus,
calling inv_invDone for a GLC (or SLC) bypassing request caused an
assert failure since the bypassing request was not performing a
load acquire.
This commit resolves this by changing the support in this case to
simply invalidate the entry in the cache.

Although this approach does not cause any correctness bugs for replacement policies like LRU since this request is the LRU in both cases, it does not work correctly for other policies like SecondChance and LFU, where updating the information twice (for misses) causes them to devolve to LRU.

This was more likely to happen with shared exclusive caches, e.g:

C1 has as dirty copy of the line while C2 issues a WriteUnique request
to that line. The line state is RU in the L3, so the L3 will just
forward the request to the HNF, so:
- C2 issues WU to L3 cache
- L3 acks the WU, allowing C2 to send the data, while concurrently
forwarding the WU to the HNF.
- L3 receives data from C2
- HNF sends invalidating snoops upstream because line is RU
- The snoop hazards with the pending WU at the L3 and invalidates
the data previously received. This causes an assertion to fail when
we resume handling the WU.
