Add support for automatic PCI interrupt routing using a device's ID on
the PCI bus. Our current DTBs typically tell the kernel that we do
this or something similar when declaring the PCI controller. This
changeset adds an option to make the simulator behave in the same way.
Interrupt routing can be selected by setting the int_policy parameter
in the GenericArmPciHost. The following values are supported:
* ARM_PCI_INT_STATIC: Use the old static routing policy using the
interrupt line from a device's configurtion space.
* ARM_PCI_INT_DEV: Use device number on the PCI bus to map to an
interrupt in the GIC. The interrupt is computed as:
gic_int = int_base + (pci_dev % int_count)
* ARM_PCI_INT_PIN: Use device interrupt pin on the PCI bus to map to
an interrupt in the GIC. The PCI specification reserves pin ID 0
for devices without interrupts, the interrupt therefore computed
as:
gic_int = int_base + ((pin - 1) % int_count)
This is the gem5 simulator. The main website can be found at http://www.gem5.org A good starting point is http://www.gem5.org/Introduction, and for more information about building the simulator and getting started please see http://www.gem5.org/Documentation and http://www.gem5.org/Tutorials. To build gem5, you will need the following software: g++ or clang, Python (gem5 links in the Python interpreter), SCons, SWIG, zlib, m4, and lastly protobuf if you want trace capture and playback support. Please see http://www.gem5.org/Dependencies for more details concerning the minimum versions of the aforementioned tools. Once you have all dependencies resolved, type 'scons build/<ARCH>/gem5.opt' where ARCH is one of ALPHA, ARM, NULL, MIPS, POWER, SPARC, or X86. This will build an optimized version of the gem5 binary (gem5.opt) for the the specified architecture. See http://www.gem5.org/Build_System for more details and options. With the simulator built, have a look at http://www.gem5.org/Running_gem5 for more information on how to use gem5. The basic source release includes these subdirectories: - configs: example simulation configuration scripts - ext: less-common external packages needed to build gem5 - src: source code of the gem5 simulator - system: source for some optional system software for simulated systems - tests: regression tests - util: useful utility programs and files To run full-system simulations, you will need compiled system firmware (console and PALcode for Alpha), kernel binaries and one or more disk images. Please see the gem5 download page for these items at http://www.gem5.org/Download If you have questions, please send mail to gem5-users@gem5.org Enjoy using gem5 and please share your modifications and extensions.
