From: Michael LeBeane Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2016 02:48:40 +0000 (-0400) Subject: dev: Add m5 op to toggle synchronization for dist-gem5. X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=dc16c1ceb806135dddb8c79ef4d5ecf1336f21bc;p=gem5.git dev: Add m5 op to toggle synchronization for dist-gem5. This patch adds the ability for an application to request dist-gem5 to begin/ end synchronization using an m5 op. When toggling on sync, all nodes agree on the next sync point based on the maximum of all nodes' ticks. CPUs are suspended until the sync point to avoid sending network messages until sync has been enabled. Toggling off sync acts like a global execution barrier, where all CPUs are disabled until every node reaches the toggle off point. This avoids tricky situations such as one node hitting a toggle off followed by a toggle on before the other nodes hit the first toggle off. --- diff --git a/configs/common/Options.py b/configs/common/Options.py index 16d817f59..a3335c7ef 100644 --- a/configs/common/Options.py +++ b/configs/common/Options.py @@ -169,6 +169,8 @@ def addCommonOptions(parser): # dist-gem5 options parser.add_option("--dist", action="store_true", help="Parallel distributed gem5 simulation.") + parser.add_option("--dist-sync-on-pseudo-op", action="store_true", + help="Use a pseudo-op to start dist-gem5 synchronization.") parser.add_option("--is-switch", action="store_true", help="Select the network switch simulator process for a"\ "distributed gem5 run") diff --git a/src/arch/x86/isa/decoder/two_byte_opcodes.isa b/src/arch/x86/isa/decoder/two_byte_opcodes.isa index 01e8e9b0c..772177d42 100644 --- a/src/arch/x86/isa/decoder/two_byte_opcodes.isa +++ b/src/arch/x86/isa/decoder/two_byte_opcodes.isa @@ -228,6 +228,9 @@ 0x5b: m5_work_end({{ PseudoInst::workend(xc->tcBase(), Rdi, Rsi);
