address calculation and memory access portions separately.
Not currently used by any CPU models, but Kevin says he needs this.
Also clean up handling of execution tracing for memory accesses
(move it all into isa_desc and out of CPU models).
Got rid of some ancient unused code too.
arch/alpha/isa_desc:
Add execute() methods to EAComp and MemAcc portions of memory
access instructions, to allow CPU models to execute the effective
address calculation and memory access portions separately.
Requires the execution context to remember the effective address
across the two invocations. Added setEA() and getEA() methods to
execution context to support this. A model that does not use the
split execution model can panic if these methods are called.
Also added hook to call traceData->setAddr() after EA computation
on any load or store operation.
arch/isa_parser.py:
Call traceData->setData() on memory writes (stores).
cpu/simple_cpu/simple_cpu.cc:
Get rid of unused code.
cpu/simple_cpu/simple_cpu.hh:
Add (non-functional) setEA() and getEA() methods for new
split memory access execution support.

This is release m5_1.0_beta1 of the M5 simulator. This file contains brief "getting started" information and release notes. For more information, see http://m5.eecs.umich.edu. If you have questions, please send mail to m5sim-users@lists.sourceforge.net. WHAT'S INCLUDED (AND NOT) ------------------------- Since you're reading this file, presumably you've managed to untar the distribution. The archive you've unpacked has three subdirectories: - m5: the simulator itself - m5-test: regression tests and scripts to run them - ext: less-common external packages needed to build m5 (currently ply and libelf) M5 is a capable, full-system simulator that current supports both Linux 2.4/2.6 and the proprietary Compaq/HP Tru64 version of Unix. We are able to distribute Linux bootdisks, but we are unable to distribute bootable disk images of Tru64 Unix. If you have a Tru64 license and are interested in obtaining disk images, contact us at m5-dev@eecs.umich.edu. WHAT'S NEEDED ------------- -GCC(3.X) -Python(2.2.2+) WHAT'S RECOMMENDED ------------------ -MySQL (for statistics complex statistics storage/retrieval) -Python-MysqlDB (for statistics analysis) GETTING STARTED --------------- The following steps will build and test the simulator. The variable "$top" refers to the top directory where you've unpacked the files, i.e., the one containing the m5, m5-test, and ext directories. There are three different build targets and three optimizations in each level: Target: ------- ALPHA - Syscall emulation simulation KERNEL - Linux full system simulation KERNEL_TLASER - Tru64 Unix full system simulation Optimization: ------------- m5.debug - debug version of the code with tracing and without optimization m5.opt - optimized version of code with tracing m5.fast - optimized version of the code without tracing and asserts cd $top/m5/build scons TARGET/OPTLEVL # e.g. KERNEL/m5.opt, use -j N if you have a MP system cd $top/m5-test ./do-tests.pl -B ALPHA # test what you just built ./do-tests.pl -B KERNEL # test what you just built # wait for tests to run... # should end with "finished do-tests successfully!"
