riscv: fix AMO, LR and SC instructions

(1) Atomic Memory Operation (AMO)

This patch changes how RISC-V AMO instructions are implemented. For each
AMO, instead of issuing a locking load and an unlocking store request to
downstream memory system, this patch issues a single memory request that
contains a corresponding AtomicOpFunctor to the memory system. Once the
memory system receives the request, the atomic operation is executed in
one single step.

This patch also changes how AMO instructions handle acquire and release
flags in AMOs (e.g., amoadd.aq and amoadd.rl). If an AMO is associated
with an acquire flag, a memory fence is inserted after the AMO completes
as a micro-op. If an AMO is associated with a release flag, another
memory fence is inserted before the AMO executes. If both flags are
specified, the AMO is broken down into a sequence of 3 micro-ops:
mem fence -> atomic RMW -> mem fence. This change makes this AMO
implementation comply to the release consistency model.

(2) Load-Reserved (LR) and Store-Conditional (SC)

Addresses locked by LR instructions are tracked in a stack data
structure. LR instruction pushes its target address to the stack, and SC
instruction pops the top address from the stack. As specified by RISC-V
ISA, a SC fails if its target address does not match with the most recent
LR.

Previously, there was a single stack for all hardware thread contexts.
A shared stack between thread contexts can lead to a infinite sequence
of failed SCs if LRs from other threads keep pushing new addresses to
this stack.

This patch gives each context its private stack to address the problem.

This patch also adds extra memory fence micro-ops to lr/sc to guarantee
a correct execution order of memory instructions with respect to release
consistency model.

cpu: support atomic memory request type with AtomicOpFunctor

This patch enables all 4 CPU models (AtomicSimpleCPU, TimingSimpleCPU,
MinorCPU and DerivO3CPU) to issue atomic memory (AMO) requests to memory
system.

Atomic memory instruction is treated as a special store instruction in
all CPU models.

In simple CPUs, an AMO request with an associated AtomicOpFunctor is
simply sent to L1 dcache.

In MinorCPU, an AMO request bypasses store buffer and waits for any
conflicting store request(s) currently in the store buffer to retire
before the AMO request is sent to the cache. AMO requests are not buffered
in the store buffer, so their effects appear immediately in the cache.

In DerivO3CPU, an AMO request is inserted in the store buffer so that it
is delivered to the cache only after all previous stores are issued to
the cache. Data forwarding between between an outstanding AMO in the
store buffer and a subsequent load is not allowed since the AMO request
does not hold valid data until it's executed in the cache.

This implementation assumes that a target ISA implementation must insert
enough memory fences as micro-ops around an atomic instruction to
enforce a correct order of memory instructions with respect to its
memory consistency model. Without extra memory fences, this implementation
can allow AMOs and other memory instructions that do not conflict
(i.e., not target the same address) to reorder.

This implementation also assumes that atomic instructions execute within
a cache line boundary since the cache for now is not able to execute an
operation on two different cache lines in one single step. Therefore,
ISAs like x86 that require multi-cache-line atomic instructions need to
either use a pair of locking load and unlocking store or change the
cache implementation to guarantee the atomicity of an atomic
instruction.

to be discarded since the thread will take a different execution stream
when it wakes up.

To do that, in MinorCPU, whenever a thread gets suspended, we change the
current execution stream by updating the current branch with
BranchData::SuspendThread reason.

cpu: fix how a thread starts up in MinorCPU

When a thread is activated by another thread calling a clone system
call, the child thread's context is initialized in the middle of the
clone system call and before the context is fully initialized.
Therefore, the child thread starts fetching an unitialized PC, which
could lead to a page fault.

This patch adds a pipeline wakeup event that is scheduled later in the
cycle when the thread is activated. This event ensures that the first
fetch only happens after the thread context is fully initialized
(e.g., in case of clone syscall, it is when the parent thread copies
its context over to the child thread).

When a thread first starts or wakes up, input queue to the Fetch2 stage
needs to be drained since the execution flow is likely to change and
previously fetched instructions in the queue may no longer be in the
correct flow. This patch dumps/drains all inputs in the input queue
of a thread context in the Fetch2 stage when the associated thread wakes
up.

adding a length for generated blobs as in:

The ones with the header, also include the header in the .cc of the blob,

extern const std::size_t variable_len;

Therefore, the ones without header, don't have that extern declaration,
which makes them static according to the C++ standard.

clang then correctly interprets that as problematic due to

explicitly convert the return of getCode() to int to not confuse
sys.exit. This workaround isn't needed and doesn't work on Python 3

5 years agocpu-o3: O3 LSQ Generalisation
Rekai Gonzalez-Alberquilla [Mon, 13 Feb 2017 09:41:44 +0000 (09:41 +0000)]
cpu-o3: O3 LSQ Generalisation

This patch does a large modification of the LSQ in the O3 model. The
main goal of the patch is to remove the 'an operation can be served with
one or two memory requests' assumption that is present in the LSQ
and the instruction with the req, reqLow, reqHigh triplet, and
generalising it to operations that can be addressed with one request,
and operations that require many requests, embodied in the
SingleDataRequest and the SplitDataRequest.

This modification has been done mimicking the minor model to an extent,
shifting the responsibilities of dealing with VtoP translation and
tracking the status and resources from the DynInst to the LSQ via the
LSQRequest. The LSQRequest models the information concerning the
operation, handles the creation of fragments for translation and request
as well as assembling/splitting the data accordingly.

With this modifications, the implementation of vector ISAs, particularly
on the memory side, become more rich, as the new model permits a
dissociation of the ISA characteristics as vector length, from the
microarchitectural characteristics that govern how contiguous loads are
executing, allowing exploration of different LSQ to DL1 bus widths to
understand the tradeoffs in complexity and performance.

Part of the complexities introduced stem from the fact that gem5 keeps a
large amount of metadata regarding, in particular, memory operations,
thus, when an instruction is squashed while some operation as TLB lookup
or cache access is ongoing, when the relevant structure communicates to
the LSQ that the operation is over, it tries to access some pieces of
data that should have died when the instruction is squashed, leading to
asserts, panics, or memory corruption. To ensure the correct behaviour,
the LSQRequest rely on assesing who is their owner, and self-destroying
if they detect their owner is done with the request, and there will be
no subsequent action. For example, in the case of an instruction
squashed whal the TLB is doing a walk to serve the translation, when the
translation is served by the TLB, the LSQRequest detects that the
instruction was squashed, and as the translation is done, no one else
expect to access its information, and therefore, it self-destructs.
Having destroyed the LSQRequest earlier, would lead to wrong behaviour
as the TLB walk may access some fields of it.

base: add support for GDB's XML architecture definition

This is done by implementing the Xfer:features:read packet of the GDB
remote protocol.

Before this commit, gem5 used the defaults of the GDB client.

With this commit, gem5 can inform the client which registers it knows
about. This allows in particular to support new registers which an older
GDB client does not yet know about.

The XML is not implemented in this commit for any arch, and falls back
almost exactly to previous behaviour. The only change is that now gem5
replies to the Supported: request which the GDB clients sends at the
beginning of the transaction with an empty feature list containing only
the mandatory PacketSize= argument.

Since the feature list does not contain qXfer:features:read, the GDB
client knows that the gem5 server does support the XML format and uses
its default registers as before.
