e95cab429f configs,ext,stdlib: Update DRAMSys integration (#525)
Recent breaking changes in the DRAMSys API require user code to be
updated. These updates have been applied to the gem5 integration.

Furthermore, as DRAMSys started to use CMake dependency management,
it is no longer sensible to maintain two separate build systems for
DRAMSys. The use of the DRAMSys integration in gem5 will therefore
from now on require that CMake is installed on the target machine.

Additionally, support for snapshots have been implemented into DRAMSys
and coupled with gem5's checkpointing API.

60317f99fe mem: Add an HBM memory controller
This change adds an hbm memory controller in gem5,
which is capable of controlling two hbm memory interfaces
(two pseudo channels). HBMCtrl inherits from MemCtrl
and tries to reuse most of the MemCtrl functions for two
different dram interfaces. Morever, a notion of pseudo
channel is added in the memory interface itself, to make
sure that the scheduling decisions in any interface are
based on the pkts for that pseudo channel only. Also, the
command bandwidth checks are divided into row and column
commands, which are shared by both pseudo channels.

b0fd05dd3d mem: Split memory controller into base MemCtrl and HeteroMemCtrl
This change splits the default gem5 memory controller into two
memory controllers: MemCtrl (base memory controller which can be
used with only a single memory interface dram/nvm), and
HeteroMemCtrl (heterogeneous memory controller which inherits from
MemCtrl and requires a dram and an nvm memory interface).
New arguments are added to many of the base class (MemCtrl) functions
(for example memory inteface to use that function for) which helps
in easier use of these in the inherited class (HeteroMemCtrl).

288e5c47fa mem: Create a SysBridge object to bridge between Systems interconnect.
It's possible to bridge together the memory interconnect of two
systems, either as parallel peers, or one nested inside the other. Each
System will have its own set of RequestorIDs, and using an ID from one
System inside the other can lead to a number of different problems.

This change adds a new SimObject called SysBridge which connects two
Systems interconnect together. The object allocates a requestor ID in
each system, and for all PacketPtrs passing through it, the requestor
ID from the target system is installed in the associated Request. On
the way back, either inline or in a split, delayed response, the
original RequestorID is restored by reinstalling the original Request
object.

you have set up a cache hierarchy and do not want to test its
performance in full system mode and want to use PyTrafficGen
instead, your system will end up with an icache or walker ports
that are not connected to anything. In this case, you can use a
PortTerminator to connect the orphan ports in your system.

a2f1400e06 mem: Add a translation gen helper class.
This class helps translate a region of memory one chunk at a time. The
generator returns an iterator through its begin and end methods which
can be used as part of a regular for loop, or as part of a range based
for loop. The iterator points to a Range object which holds the virtual
and physical address of the translation, the size of the region included
in the translation, and a Fault if the translation of that chunk
faulted.

When incrementing the iterator, if there was no fault it simply moves
ahead to the next region and attempts to translate it using a virtual
method implemented by subclasses. It's up to the subclass to determine
if there is now a fault, how many bytes have been translated if, for
instance, the page size is variable, and what the translated physical
address is.

If there was a fault, the iterator does not increment, it just clears
the fault and tries the previous translation again. This gives consumers
of the translation generator a chance to fix up faulting addresses
without having to abort the whole process and try again. This might be
useful if, for instance, you've reached the end of the stack and a new
page needs to be demand-paged in.

CfiMemory: This is modelling a flash memory adhering to the

JEDEC JESD68.01
JEDEC JEP137B
Intel Application Note 646

This is as of now a pure functional model of a flash controller: no
timing/power information has been encoded in it and it is therefore not
representive of a real device. Some voltage/timing values have
nevertheless been encoded in the CFI table.  This is just a requirement
from the CFI specification: guest software might query those entries,
but they are not reflected in gem5 statistics.

The model is meant to be used to allow execution of flash drivers (e.g.
UEFI firmware storing EFI variables in non volatile memory)

dab7c78eca mem: Add NVM interface
Add NVM interface to memory controller.

This can be used with or instead of the existing
DRAM interface. Therefore, a single controller can interface
to either DRAM or NVM, or both.

Specifically, a memory channel can be configured as:
- Memory controller interfacing to DRAM only
- Memory controller interfacing to NVM only
- Memory controller interfacing to both DRAM and NVM

How data is placed or migrated between media types is outside
of the scope of this change.

The NVM interface incorporates new static delay parameters
for read and write completion. The interface defines a 2
stage read to manage non-deterministic read delays while
enabling deterministic data transfer, similar to NVDIMM-P.
The NVM interface also includes parameters to define
read and write buffers on the media side (on-DIMM). These are
utilized to quickly offload commands and write data, mitigating
the effects of lower latency and bandwidth media characteristics.

b01b455537 arch, mem: Initial Hardware Transactional Memory implementation
Gem5 Hardware Transactional Memory (HTM)

Here we provide a brief note describing HTM support in Gem5 at
a high level.

HTM is an architectural feature that enables speculative concurrency in
a shared-memory system; groups of instructions known as transactions are
executed as an atomic unit. The system allows that transactions be
executed concurrently but intervenes if a transaction's
atomicity/isolation is jeapordised and takes corrective action. In this
implementation, corrective active explicitely means rolling back a
thread's architectural state and reverting any memory updates to a point
just before the transaction began.

This HTM implementation relies on--
(1) A checkpointing mechanism for architectural register state.
(2) Buffering speculative memory updates.

This patch is focusing on the definition of the HTM checkpoint (1)

The checkpointing mechanism is architecture dependent. Each ISA
leveraging HTM support can define a class HTMCheckpoint inhereting from
the generic one (GenericISA::HTMCheckpoint).

Those will need to save/restore the architectural state by overriding
the virtual HTMCheckpoint::save (when starting a transaction) and
HTMCheckpoint::restore (when aborting a transaction).

Instances of this class live in O3's ThreadState and Atomic's
SimpleThread.  It is up to the ISA to populate this instance when
executing an instruction that begins a new transaction.

9b9045bb67 mem: Mark MemObject as deprecated.
It's constructor will now warn that it's deprecated and suggest using
ClockedObject directly. This change also gets rid of the params()
method and the Params typedef since they are functionally equivalent to
the ClockedObject versions.

It also removes the include of mem/port.hh which is not used in
mem_object.hh. This may break code which purposefully or (more likely)
accidentally depended on that transitive include from mem_object.hh.

ac65b6ee7f arm, mem: Move the SecurePortProxy subclass into it's own file.
The idea of a "secure" memory area/access is specific to ARM and
shouldn't be in the common mem directory, although it's built in to the
generic memory protocol at this point.

Regardless, it should minimially be in its own file like the virtual
and physical port proxy classes are.

This is the implementation of QoS algorithms support for gem5 memory

algorithm which can be used to prioritise service to specific masters in
the memory controller.
The QoS support implemented here is designed to be extendable so that

0f33b2c1d5 mem: Add a memory delay simulator
Add a memory system component that delays traffic. The base
functionality to delay packets is implemented in the abstract MemDelay
class. This class exposes three methods that control packet delays:

  * delayReq(pkt)
  * delayResp(pkt)
  * delaySnoopResp(pkt)

These methods should be specialized to implement delays for specific
packet types.

The class SimpleMemDelay uses the MemDelay base class to implement
constant delays for read/write requests and responses.

The intention is that these classes can be used for rapid prototyping
of components that add a small fixed delay and the same throughput as
the interconnect. I.e., any buffering done in the base class will be
small and proportional to the introduced delay.

888975b29d mem: Add a stack distance calculator
This patch adds a stand-alone stack distance calculator. The stack
distance calculator is a passive SimObject that observes the addresses
passed to it. It calculates stack distances (LRU Distances) of
incoming addresses based on the partial sum hierarchy tree algorithm
described by Alamasi et al. http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/773039.773043.

For each transaction a hashtable look-up is performed. At every
non-unique transaction the tree is traversed from the leaf at the
returned index to the root, the old node is deleted from the tree, and
the sums (to the right) are collected and decremented. The collected
sum represets the stack distance of the found node. At every unique
transaction the stack distance is returned as
numeric_limits<uint64>::max().

In addition to the basic stack distance calculation, a feature to mark
an old node in the tree is added. This is useful if it is required to
see the reuse pattern. For example, Writebacks to the lower level
(e.g. membus from L2), can be marked instead of being removed from the
stack (isMarked flag of Node set to True). And then later if this same
address is accessed (by L1), the value of the isMarked flag would be
True. This gives some insight on how the Writeback policy of the
lower level affect the read/write accesses in an application.

Debugging is enabled by setting the verify flag to true. Debugging is
implemented using a dummy stack that behaves in a naive way, using STL
vectors. Note that this has a large impact on run time.

This patch changes the name of the Bus classes to XBar to better

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.

ba98d598ae mem: Simple Snoop Filter
This is a first cut at a simple snoop filter that tracks presence of lines in
the caches "above" it. The snoop filter can be applied at any given cache
hierarchy and will then handle the caches above it appropriately; there is no
need to use this only in the last-level bus.

This design currently has some limitations: missing stats, no notion of clean
evictions (these will not update the underlying snoop filter, because they are
not sent from the evicting cache down), no notion of capacity for the snoop
filter and thus no need for invalidations caused by capacity pressure in the
snoop filter. These are planned to be added on top with future change sets.

printing and then parsing the commands. At the moment it is also up to
the user to ensure that the same DRAM configuration is used by the
gem5 controller model and DRAMPower.

machine.
