From: Andrew Bardsley Date: Tue, 2 Dec 2014 11:08:09 +0000 (-0500) Subject: config: Fix to SystemC example's event handling X-Git-Tag: stable_2015_04_15~89 X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e5e5b80690f736c65c9b51ef96660637210f3938;p=gem5.git config: Fix to SystemC example's event handling This patch fixes checkpoint restore in the SystemC hosting example by handling early PollEvent events correctly before any EventQueue events are posted. The SystemC event queue handler (SCEventQueue) reports an error if the event loop is entered with no Events posted. It is possible for this to happen after instantiate due to PollEvent events. This patch separates out `external' events into a different handler in sc_module.cc to prevent the error from occurring. This fix also improves the event handling of asynchronous events by: 1) Making asynchronous events 'catch up' gem5 time to SystemC time to avoid the appearance that events have been lost while servicing an asynchronous event that schedules an event loop exit event 2) Add an in_simulate data member to Module to allow the event loop to check whether events should be processed or deferred until the next time Module::simulate is entered 3) Cancel pending events around the entry/exit of the event loop in Module::simulate 4) Moving the state initialisation of the example entirely into run to correct a problem with early events in checkpoint restore. It is still possible to schedule asynchronous events (and talk PollQueue actions) while simulate is not running. This behaviour may stil cause some problems. --- diff --git a/util/systemc/Makefile b/util/systemc/Makefile index da9b28866..24d1e52f2 100644 --- a/util/systemc/Makefile +++ b/util/systemc/Makefile @@ -66,4 +66,5 @@ gem5.$(VARIANT).sc: main.o stats.o \ clean: $(RM) $(ALL) + $(RM) *.o $(RM) -r m5out diff --git a/util/systemc/main.cc b/util/systemc/main.cc index 6ffaeb6da..2ca6bbe65 100644 --- a/util/systemc/main.cc +++ b/util/systemc/main.cc @@ -120,8 +120,6 @@ class SimControl : public Gem5SystemC::Module SimControl(sc_core::sc_module_name name, int argc_, char **argv_);
