This change, https://github.com/gem5/gem5/pull/205, mistakenly allocates
write buffer for clflush instruction when there's a cache miss. However,
clflush in gem5 is not a write instruction. Thus, the cache should
allocate miss buffer in this case.
When there is race between FwdGetX
and PUTX on owner. Owner in this case hands off
ownership to GetX requestor and PUTX still goes
through. But since owner has changed, state should
go back to M and PUTX is essentially trashed.
An Unblock to the Directory in this case will give an undefined
transition. I have added transitions which indicate that when
an Unblock is served to the Directory, it means that some kind
of ownership transfer has happened while a PUTX/PUTO was in
progress.

The DBID allows a Completer of a transaction to provide its own
identifier for a transaction ID.
This new ID will be used as a TxnId field by a following
WriteData/CompData/CompAck response.
For now we only set it to the original txnId (identity mapping)

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

At the moment an address value can only be used in the slicc code
to do TBE lookups but there is no way to add/subtract/divide/multiply

At the moment it is possible to static_cast by pointer/reference only:
static_cast(type, "pointer", val) -> static_cast<type*>(val);
static_cast(type, "reference", val) -> static_cast<type&>(val);
With this patch it will also be possible to do something like
static_cast(type, "value", val) -> static_cast<type>(val);
Which is important when wishing to convert integer types into
custom onces and viceversa.
This patch is also deferring static_cast type check to C++
At the moment it is difficult to use the static_cast utility in slicc as
it tries to handle type checking in the language itself. This would
force us to explicitly define compatible types (like an Addr and an int
as an example). Rather than pushing the burden on us, we should always
allow a developer to use a static_cast in slicc and let the C++ compiler
complain if the generated code is not compatible

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.

When a linux kernel changes a page property, it flushes the related cache
lines. The kernel might change the page property before flushing the
cache lines. This results in the clflush might occur in an uncacheable region.
Currently, an uncacheable request must be a read or a write. However,
clflush request is neither of them.
This change aims to allow clflush requests to work on uncacheable regions.
Since there is no straightforward way to check if a packet is from a clflush
instruction, this change permits all Clean Invalidate Requests, which is
the type of request produced by clflush, to work on uncacheable regions.

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
directory. With this change, atomics will only be passed on if the SLC
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.

This change adds a new file to m5out which is citations.bib.
This file will contain the citations to the papers which describe the
aspects of the gem5 simulator that the simulation uses. In other words,
each simulation configuration could generate a different bib file
referencing different works.
Each SimObject can now have a set of citations associated with it. After
the system is built (in `instantiate`), the citations.bib file is
created by parsing all SimObjects that have been instantiated and taking
the union of their associated citations.
This commit is not meant to add all citations, but to act as an example
for others to add more citations to gem5.

is transitioned to when a dirty line in the TCC is evicted in a

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.

Prior to this patch, when a memory controller was failing at sending a
response to AbstractController, it would not wakeup until the next
request. This patch gives the opportunity to Ruby models to notify
memory response buffer dequeue so that AbstractController can send a

A dequeueMemRspQueue function has been added AbstractController to
automate the dequeue+notify operation.
Note that models that don't notify AbstractController will continue

Write queue drain logic seems off currently. An event is scheduled if
the write queue is empty instead of non-empty. There is no check to see
if draining is complete when bus is in write mode. Finally the power
down check on drain always fails if DRAM powerdown is disabled.
This changeset reverses the drain conditional for the write queue to
schedule an event if the write queue is *not* empty and checks in the
event processing method that the queues are all empty so that
signalDrainDone can be called. Lastly the powerdown state is ignored if
DRAM powerdown is disabled. Powerdown is disabled in the GPU_VIPER
protocol by default. This changeset successfully drains and checkpoints
