This abstraction will allow scheduling PCEvents for a particular
ThreadContext, all contexts on a CPU, all contexts in a system, etc.,
and delegates scheduling and removing events to each particular scope.
Right now the PCEventQueue is the only implementor of the PCEventSCope
interface.

Set the default release to that single value for all ISAs.
glibc has checks for the kernel version based on uname, and refuses
to start any syscall emulation programs if those checks don't pass with
error:
FATAL: kernel too old
The ideal solution to this problem is to actually implement all missing
system calls for the required kernel version and bumping the release
accordingly.
However, it is very hard to implement all missing syscalls and verify
compliance.
Previously, we have simply bumped the version manually from time to
time when major glibc versions started breaking.
This commit alleviates the problem in two ways.
Firstly, having a single kernel version for all versions means that it is
easier to bump all versions at once.
Secondly, it makes it is possible to set the release with a parameter,
which in turn can be set from the command line with:
se.py --param 'system.cpu[:].workload[:].release = "4.18.0"'

The system calls had four parameters. One of the parameters
is ThreadContext and another is Process. The ThreadContext
holds the value of the current process so the Process parameter
is redundant since the system call functions already have
indirect access.
With the old API, it is possible to call into the functions with
the wrong supplied Process which could end up being a confusing
error.
This patch removes the redundancy by forcing access through the
ThreadContext field within each system call.

These selected their behavior based on ifdefs and had to be disabled
when on the NULL ISA. The versions which take an explicit endianness
have been renamed to just read/write instead of readGtoH and writeHtoG
since the direction of the translation is obvious from context.

Fix poll so that it will use the syscall retry capability
instead of causing a blocking call.
Add the accept and wait4 system calls.
Add polling to read to remove deadlocks that occur in the
event queue that are caused by blocking system calls.
Modify the write system call to return an error number in
case of error.

Some parts of clone are architecture dependent. In some cases, we are
able to use architecture-specific helper functions or register
aliases. However, there is still some architecture-specific that is
protected by ifdefs in the common clone implementation.
Move these architecture-specific bits to the architecture-specific OS
class instead to avoid these ifdefs and make the code a bit more
readable.

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.
The EIOProcess class was removed recently and it was the only other class
which derived from Process. Since every Process invocation is also a
LiveProcess invocation, it makes sense to simplify the organization by
combining the fields from LiveProcess into Process.
The class was crammed into syscall_emul.hh which has tons of forward
declarations and template definitions. To clean it up a bit, moved the
class into separate files and commented the class with doxygen style
comments. Also, provided some encapsulation by adding some accessors and
a mutator.
The syscallreturn.hh file was renamed syscall_return.hh to make it consistent
with other similarly named files in the src/sim directory.
The DPRINTF_SYSCALL macro was moved into its own header file with the
include the Base and Verbose flags as well.
--HG--
rename : src/sim/syscallreturn.hh => src/sim/syscall_return.hh
The openFlagTable and mmapFlagTables for emulated Linux
platforms are basically identical, but are specified
repetitively for every platform. Use a common file
that gets included for each platform so that we only
have one copy, making them more consistent and simplifying
changes (like adding #ifdefs).
In the process, made some minor fixes that slipped through
due to previous inconsistencies, and added more #ifdefs
to try to fix building on alternative hosts.
For O3, which has a stat that counts reg reads, there is an additional
reg read per mmap() call since there's an arg we no longer ignore.
Otherwise, stats should not be affected.
The structure definition only had the open system call flag set in mind when
it was named, so we rename it here with the intention of using it to define
additional tables to translate flags for other system calls in the future.
The identifier SYS_getdents is not available on Mac OS X. Therefore, its use
results in compilation failure. It seems there is no straight forward way to
implement the system call getdents using readdir() or similar C functions.
Hence the commit 6709bbcf564d is being rolled back.
This changeset adds support for forwarding arguments to the PC
event constructors to following methods:
addKernelFuncEvent
addFuncEvent
Additionally, this changeset adds the following helper method to the
System base class:
addFuncEventOrPanic - Hook a PCEvent to a symbol, panic on failure.
addKernelFuncEventOrPanic - Hook a PCEvent to a kernel symbol, panic
on failure.
System implementations have been updated to use the new functionality
where appropriate.
This patch fixes the warnings that clang3.2svn emit due to the "-Wall"
flag. There is one case of an uninitialised value in the ARM neon ISA
description, and then a whole range of unused private fields that are
pruned.
This patch takes the Linux thread info support scattered across
different ISA implementations (currently in ARM, ALPHA, and MIPS), and
unifies them into a single file.
Adds a few more helper functions to read out TGID, mm, etc.
ISA-specific information (e.g., ALPHA PCBB register) is now moved to
the corresponding isa_traits.hh files.
New tool chains seem to be looking for kernel versions newer than what
this this was previously set to. Also take this opportunity to change
the hostname we report in uname to sim.gem5.org.
Enable different whitelists for different OS/arch combinations,
since some use the generic Linux definitions only, and others
use definitions inherited from earlier Unix flavors on those
architectures.
Also update x86 function pointers so ioctl is no longer
unimplemented on that platform.
This patch is a revised version of Vince Weaver's earlier patch.
The change to port proxies recently moved code out of the constructor into
initState(). This is needed for code that loads data into memory, however
for code that setups symbol tables, kernel based events, etc this is the wrong
thing to do as that code is only called when a checkpoint isn't being restored
from.
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.
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
--HG--
rename : src/mem/vport.cc => src/mem/fs_translating_port_proxy.cc
rename : src/mem/vport.hh => src/mem/fs_translating_port_proxy.hh
rename : src/mem/translating_port.cc => src/mem/se_translating_port_proxy.cc

In order for a system object to work in SE mode and FS mode, it has to either
always require a platform object even in SE mode, or get rid of the
requirement all together. Making SE mode carry around unnecessary/unused bits
of FS seems less than ideal, so I decided to go with the second option. The
platform pointer in the System class was used for exactly one purpose, a path
for the Alpha Linux system object to get to the real time clock and read its
frequency so that it could short cut the loops_per_jiffy calculation. There
was also a copy and pasted implementation in MIPS, but since it was only there
because it was there in Alpha I still count that as one use.
This change reverses the mechanism that communicates the RTC frequency so that
the Tsunami platform object pushes it up to the AlphaSystem object. This is
slightly less specific than it could be because really only the
AlphaLinuxSystem uses it. Because the intrFrequency function on the Platform
class was no longer necessary (and unimplemented on anything but Alpha) it was
eliminated.
After this change, a platform will need to have a system, but a system won't
have to have a platform.
At the same time, rename the trace flags to debug flags since they
have broader usage than simply tracing. This means that
--trace-flags is now --debug-flags and --trace-help is now --debug-help
When accessing arguments for a syscall, the position of an argument depends on
the policies of the ISA, how much space preceding arguments took up, and the
"alignment" of the index for this particular argument into the number of
possible storate locations. This change adjusts getSyscallArg to take its
index parameter by reference instead of value and to adjust it to point to the
possible location of the next argument on the stack, basically just after the
current one. This way, the rules for the new argument can be applied locally
without knowing about other arguments since those have already been taken into
account implicitly.
All system calls have also been changed to reflect the new interface. In a
number of cases this made the implementation clearer since it encourages
arguments to be collected in one place in order and then used as necessary
later, as opposed to scattering them throughout the function or using them in
place in long expressions. It also discourages using getSyscallArg over and
over to retrieve the same value when a temporary would do the job.
